Korean takeout restaurant is coming to Sacramento with vegan options. See where
A new delivery-first Korean restaurant is coming to Sacramento this spring, offering low-calorie, vegan and vegetarian options.
The new restaurant, Moonbowls, is set to open 1501 C St in Mansion Flats on May 4, said Aviv Gattenuo, the restaurant’s spokesperson. The restaurant said on its website it uses “high quality, preservative-free and gluten-free ingredients.”
“The whole Moonbowls’ mantra is feel-good food,” Gattenuo said. “The way that we bring that to the customers is by using high quality ingredients.”
Moonbowls offers a “build your own bowl,” option where customers can choose a choice of meat/impossible meat, vegetables and other sides. Moonbowls is primarily ordered through its website, mobile app, Uber Eats, Postmates, GrubHub and DoorDash, according to its website.
Moonbowls changes its menu seasonally to test new recipes and ingredients, its website stated. The restaurant focuses on offering high quality food at the “most convenient food experience possible - whether at home on your couch or picking up from one of our kitchens,” according to its website.
“Everything we do — from recipe development to packaging to customer service — is designed to pick up and delivery,” its website said.
While its dishes are “100% gluten-free,” the restaurant’s kitchen are not gluten-free certified, according to Moonbowls’ website. Moonbowls also serves preservative-free and plant-based alternatives.
“Our mission was always to build new concepts for the next generation,” Gattenuo said. “That means really focusing on high quality, focusing on an offering that you wouldn’t necessarily find at other casual places.”
Moonbowls serves salads and speciality bowls, including a chili crunch chicken bowl, avocado bulgogi bowl and chicken and broccoli bowl. Its meals provide a low sugar option with homemade low calorie sauces.
“When we first got started with Moonbowls, it was really to bring a new option to folks who had a gluten intolerance and weren’t able to enjoy the Korean inspired recipes you’d see in other places,” Gattenuo said.
