A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!

Went here for a second time today and the food was quite good. My wife got the chicken lunch bowl with lettuce (no rice) and the Tamari Sauce(soy sauce based). I ordered the Tapa Beef with brown rice plus all of the vegetables (broccoli, lettuce, fried garlic, edamame, cucumber, corn, spinach etc) with the Sweet Chili Sauce.Both were delicious again. We will be back!

PLEASE DON’T give this white paper bag for take aways, it’s not strong enough. I took only two boxes and there was minimum amount of sauce on the beef, but with very little amount of sauce leak the bag was torn apart and all my food was on the ground!They have amazing coffee and lemonade ❤️

Have had this few times at SHC when they're there Thursday lunches. But went to their original locale on campus. Got there at 1pm during summer and not much of a line. Got half adobo pork and half beef with all the toppings. Half sweet chili and spicy Mayo. Great portion and fills you up. Delicious flavors and texture. Also got the Vietnamese iced coffee which was refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. Few outside tables with shade and there are also long bench tables with not as much shade. Easy to walk to or bike to.

I always order online and pick up so I don’t have to wait in the very long line to order.

First thing that comes to mind when I saw the set up: ASIAN CHIPOTLE The customization and the recognition of home cooked meals I'd see at home in fast food style? LOVE ITThis place is also the spot to be just because as you approach the shop, there's a line out the door. I got to see the menu online but once you're in, all the choices are overwhelming just because everything's good.I ended up with a fried rice based, half panko chicken and Tocino with all my favorite toppings of edamame, fried onion, kimchi, pickled dishes, green onion and corn. In addition we got some lumpia and this was such a nice snack to munch on as we were walking around campus.

This build-your-own bowl type of restaurant is serving up Filipino fusion on campus at Stanford! I think this style of an eatery makes Filipino food very approachable since you can customize it with a variety of add-ins. They have classic Filipino items such as pork adobo, pork tocino, beef tapa, and longanisa. You can also add a fried egg for a dollar more. I was also surprised to see they have atchara (pickled veggies). The tocino was really good and had that sweet and fatty richness to it. The tapa was tender and had a simple flavoring to it. They also have some beverages that you find at the Asian markets like aloe juice, canned coconut juice, and Vietnamese iced coffee. The restaurant is similar to a Chipotle where you choose your rice, meat, veggies, toppings, and sauce with the employee making it for you. The line gets long and reaches the sidewalk during lunchtime but moves pretty quick. This is definitely a solid spot to grab lunch on campus!

It was below $11 a year ago, and now it's over $13.50 (after tax). The food is good, but the wait can be half an hour on a busy day.

Probably the best place to eat on campus. Blend offers customizable Filipino-style bowls ($12.75, plus $1.50 for an egg) which aren't anything super special but taste fresh and offer decent portions if you load up on all the toppings Downside is that lines get really long, especially since it's only open from 11-2 on weekdays -- I'd recommend ordering ahead online, but I like getting a half portion of two different meats and bases (my go-to is half salad, half brown rice with half panko chicken or tofu + half tocino and sesame mayo) and don't think you can do that through the website

As a Stanford student who has been on campus for more than 4 years, I cannot stress enough how this is the best place to eat on campus. I love getting the half panko chicken and half tocino pork. And you can get as many toppings as you want. Don't forget to ask for the sriracha mayo and sesame mayo on the side :) Con: you have to wait in line for about 30 min during peak lunch time, but don't worry it's worth it!
