I had the beef salad noodle bowl combo with a chicken rice roll and tea. The noodle bowl is soooo good! The beef was cooked and seasoned so perfectly and you can add extra sauces and toppings from the sauce station if desired. ☺️ Although, I wasn't a big fan of the cold tea as it tasted like cinnamon but it was refreshing and complimented the meal very well. This is a very great place in the CBD and I'm sure to come again!
I decided to come here and use a Scoopon voucher for my meal combo which discounted the price to $6.50 from the original $13.80.
It was pretty packed around noon but i managed to find a seat at a table that had not been cleared.. since it was busy i waited 20minutes for my meal and during then the table was still not cleared till my meal arrived. I had Rice noodle Salad with Chicken, Chicken Rice Rolls and Tea. It tasted pretty good at first till i starting eating the rice noodles and find it abit oily it must of come from the chicken but its okay i didn't bother me much but i would rather prefer it not to be oily, that was the only downfall for me otherwise i quite enjoyed it here.

Strolling around in a Friday and saw this place which looked busy, so thought we would give it a go. Service was excellent from the moment you walked in and left as was the wait time. Prices are very reasonable, and the produce is super fresh. We had the rice paper chicken roll and the Vietnamese spicy roll. Both were very delicious, and we would recommend it. I would have liked a little more spice , but I must admit I didn't see the free condiments (with chilli) so that was my fault. But you must give this place a try , value for money 💰
Urban Bowl is awesome and ticks all the boxes - delicious, fresh, generous portions, cheap, fast and friendly service. I'm a fan of their noodle and rice bowls for $9.90 which comes with your choice of chicken, beef, pork or tofu then lettuce, pickles and then I top it with fresh mint, peanuts, dressing and chilli from the condiment bar.
Highly recommend for a quick, tasty and cheap lunch!
Urban Bowl (UB) is an excellent choice for a quick, delicious lunch in the Perth CBD. All the meat is incredibly tender and packed with flavour (try their lemongrass pork on rice which I usually pair with a cheeky spring roll). The guys always iterate and improve on their recipes and the menu always changes – there is usually something new at least every couple of weeks.
UB is also churning out some great joe with their new Fiori blends – these guys know how to pull a mean shot. Best of all, there is a range of condiments and sauces, all of which are provided without charge (unless some other city eateries which charge for soy sauce). Goes a long way toward showing the heart and soul of this place.
Tam and his team put on a tight show and the wait times are minimal – keep up the great work guys!
“WOW, it’s so pretty” that was my first thought when I opened the takeaway box of our Rice Noodle with Grilled Pork from Urban Bowl. The arrangement and the colour were really coordinated well in that ordinary rectangular box setting – which is actually an unusual container for this very common Vietnamese meal (usually the takeaway for rice-noodle is in bowl-shaped container). Oh, and the cracker that initially I thought was an onigiri was a nice addition.
Located in the middle of high-rise corporate building, Urban Bowl is designed for takeaway while they do have a number of limited sitting inside and outside the shop. You can always rely on their friendly staff to get the food ready quickly in case you are rushing to get back to work.
Their rice noodle was priced on par with other rice noodle but I found that the quantity was slightly less – perhaps because of the shape of container. The pork was a bit dry and hard but it was made bearable by the tasty spices covering the pork (and also adding to the colour and overall presentation) and their pineapple sauce helped a lot in improving the overall flavour. The highlight for me would definitely be the spring roll : fat & juicy!
Lovely service by the team there!! The rice was supremely delicious - prime grilled beef. Comes with fresh salad, pickles, soft boiled egg and flavoured rice. Highly recommend this. Pho was a good serving size with gentle flavours. The tea and spring roll combo was a great addition. Sweet tea with peppermint, cinnamon and Earl Grey. Didn't try the banh mi as it was a little expensive.
Tucked away between the office towers of Perth is a Vietnamese eatery that makes the best pho this side of Northbridge. It is unassuming but makes a wonderful bowl of Pho that cures the lunchtime slump. The good thing about the Urban Bowl is that their Pho also comes in a cup if you’re not up to having a full bowl.
I must say, I'm very impressed by this Vietnamese Cafe. From the location, the very fast service, the menu selection, the dining options and the fresh tasting food. There's a condiments area that meets you dress your food however you like with a range of sauces and chilli. I had the grilled chicken noodle salad - it came with a vegetable spring roll, chicken grilled very tender with a nice marinade, crushed peanuts and a rice crisp. The whole combination just felt fresh and delicious. Their banh mi bread roll was crispy and fluffy as it should be, with the beef brisket that was not chewy. Their Urban Rice was also seasoned well that made it fragrant. Overall very happy with this place and will definitely come back for other items.
I've been here several times after 'discovering' the cafe.
I think the rolls are the best of their lunch items, and will try the sensibly priced breakfast options soon (Urban Bowl opens early).
The staff are always enthusiastic and look like they love working there.
Delicious banh mi rolls, and the poached salmon red rice salad is exceptional.
Awesome stuff, especially if you have a Scoopon voucher. I've gone there twice - Had Chicken Rice Bowl + Springroll and soup the first time and had Beef noodle bowl with rice paper roll and tea the second time. The food is nice and fresh - the choice of dressing allows you to mix into any taste you like - only downside is the cutlery. Imagine trying to cut a minute steak placed on a bowl full of rice noodle with a tiny flimsy plastic knife. The outdoor seating is also good.
Not been here for a while, but the coffee is amazing (only downside is they don't have loyalty cards) Food is even better, great quality and very fair pricing. If you visit/work in the city you should definitely try food here sometime you won't regret it.
Affordable and cozy. Vietnamese food, but not mentioned in its menu or name. Unassuming. Food is not exactly spendid, but its value for money in an expensive city like Perth.
Fantastic place.The food is delicious and fresh and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!
Quick preparation, friendly service at decent prices. Good spot for a quick healthy lunch
