Freshroll

My preliminary thoughts as I've only eaten from here once: Far from authentic, this Vietnamese inspired fast casual spot is quick, healthy-ish, and catered to college kids at college prices. If it's convenient, it's not a bad spot for a quick,somewhat inexpensive meal. However, I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for it. We went with banh-mis, both the shrimp and pork variety. A forgettable roll filled with fresh crunchy vegetables and protein. I was more into the pork than the shrimp as it had a bit more flavor. But in the end, mostly due to the bread, I'd forgo the banh-mi next time and opt for the bowl. Everything was made quickly, they cut my sandwich in half as requested, but no napkins in those to go bags.

Would I consider this the most authentic place? ...not particularlyDoes it hit the spot when I want something on the lighter and healthier side? Sure Would I come back again - especially when I'm with a group of friends for a snackpass party deal? ...Absolutely! I finally tried out freshroll and got the vermicelli noodle bowl with lemongrass pork. The noodles were a bit thicker than I anticipated. I also requested for the NamNam sauce on the side. Next time, I will request the sauce mixed in because the sauce container wasn't even to coat all the food....which means that the portion size was a lot more than I was expecting! I also really liked the pork...very flavorful and not dried out. I'm not sure if I would go for that sauce again though. It was too mayo-heavy for me. But overall, I really enjoyed this meal and would probably get the same thing again. It was actually so much food that it served as two meals for me! My friend got a new item on the menu: garlic noodle with chicken. She wasn't the most impressed with the chicken and said it was just okay.

Love love love freshroll! I always order this when I'm near campus or stuck at the library. It's a healthy option and comes with enough food for two meals. I really love the nam nam sauce and how flavorful it is. My go-to dish is the freshroll bowl with chicken, rice, and nam nam sauce! The banh mi's are also super yummy.

I always go to Freshroll for a quick, healthy option. I love their Freshrolls and Banh Mi, their bowls are a hit or miss for me.This is not really the place to go if you're looking for something authentic or super filling, but still a go-to around campus!

I placed an order through grubhub for two tofu spring rolls because I had a $5 off gift card. The order was completed pretty quickly (within 15 minutes). I waited for my order inside the establishment which consisted of a few ordering screens and some tables and chairs. It wasn't too busy when I went, but there was some waiting involved. The spring rolls themselves were good. The veggies tastes fresh and the tofu was flavorful. I wish they had some type of fresh herbs inside cause it would make them better. The nam nam sauce is soooo yummy and compliments the rolls nicely. I do think that they are pretty expensive at $5 a piece and probably won't go out of my way to stop by here again for this reason. I would recommend this place but again just wish it was a bit cheaper!

Freshroll never misses. It's located close to campus, has a great menu with reasonably priced (and dare I say, cheap?) options, and has friendly service every time. I always order freshrolls with grilled lemongrass pork and the Namnam sauce as well as the $10 combo meal with the mini lemongrass pork sandwich, bone broth, and taro chips. I find myself actively craving Freshroll quite often because it is that good.

Freshroll was my go-to during college. I ate here at least once a week and never got sick of it. Their spring rolls are filling, delicious, and don't make you feel like crap for eating out. I've never had the little crispy tube of goodness in a spring roll elsewhere. Their drinks are also usually creative and refreshing. Download Snackpass if you're going to eat here-- it's not hard to build up rewards for a free sandwich now and then.

I ordered the lemongrass spring rolls with peanut sauce. The portion is worth the price since each roll has a variety of ingredients in it. Only con is that there is barely any seating in the restaurant. Would order again!

Updating my 2 year old review LOL. Tried Freshroll for the first time my freshman year at Cal, and it has since become a regular choice for me when I need a quick and convenient meal. You can't go wrong with any of the offerings here! They mainly have bowls, sandwiches and spring rolls, and a variety of proteins and (delicious) flavors so you can switch it up. It's convenient to order on Snackpass, and unlike a lot of other places that offer a measly side or drink for racking up points, you actually get a good reward here--12 points gets you a whole sandwich.Cheap, convenient, and delicious--one of my go to spots on south side.

Now this is the kind of aïoli I like. Just a little bit spicy and sweet. The honey chicken was good and as a gluten-free person I really appreciate the rice noodles. The broccolini was tasty and so was the cucumber. The purple cabbage was little dry, but that was really my only complaint. There are just three tables in the place and you order from a touchpad. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.
