SOUL BOWL

Laura Ford a month ago

The best soul food restaurant I’ve been to and they have vegan options. Pictured is the vegan Mac and cheese, collard greens and sweet potatoes with the vegan meat. We went close to close and also obtained some of their spiciest hot sauce- which tasted a lot like the Black hot sauce from Pimento, lots of flavor and fantastic. The only thing is that I wished they had more vegan dessert options: cookies or cheesecake slices? Fantastic food.

It’s beautiful. It’s clean. The cashier is personable and as I told him where I currently live doesn’t have black American food so this was a treat. The Glorilla greens are delicious. The yellow rice is heavy handed with turmeric. The mambo sauce paired with the fried chicken is delicious. My kiddo had the Mac and she said it was delicious. She did note though that the chicken was too salty. The season is there just need a tad less salt. We also indulged in the lavender lemonade. It’s super refreshing. Wish I knew about this place all the times I came down to mpls. I would have been shown love. Also there was business on Uber Eats and in the restaurant. They had steady traffic. Someone else had yams 🍠 and they smelled like heaven.

I tried the Plant-Based Caribe Bowl today and absolutely loved it! 🌱🔥 The flavors were bold and just the right level of hot and spicy — exactly how I like it. The plant-based “chicken” was so well-seasoned and crispy that it tasted just like real chicken. The sweet plantains added the perfect balance to the spice and made the whole bowl feel complete. One of the best bowls I’ve had in a while — fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. If anything, I’d love a bit more protein and a little less rice next time, but overall this was a fantastic dish. Definitely coming back for it again! ⸻ Would you like me to make it shorter and more casual (perfect for a quick 1–2 line review) or keep this detailed foodie-style for people looking for specifics before ordering?

Excellent catering service for our annual Mahle Lecture event at Hamline. Everything was incredibly yummy and nothing was left behind. All dietary needs were met, service was fabulous, and I cannot wait to work with Soul Bowl again. -University Chaplain Kelly Figueroa-Ray, Hamline University in Saint Paul, MN

We stopped by Soul Bowl and were really impressed the moment we walked in. The space has a great vibe clean, creative, and full of local pride. The "Pride of the Northside" wall, the artwork, and the "Humble Hustle" sign really give it character and make it feel like more than just another restaurant. I ordered the Crab Boil Wings with Fries, and they were full of flavor. The seasoning was on point, and the wings had that perfect mix of crisp and juicy. My wife had the Rasta Pasta, and she loved it creamy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. I also tried the Queen B Lemonade, which was refreshing and just the right balance of sweet and tart. The staff was friendly, and the service was smooth from start to finish. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do. Between the food, the look, and the energy, Soul Bowl is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back for sure.
