THISBOWL (formerly FISHBOWL) is a fast-casual food brand making fresh, asian-inspired bowls — with a side of everything we're obsessed with: design, music, art, fashion, movement and community. We’re on a mission to change the culture of fast food, one bowl at a time. We make healthy food you’ll crave, made fast, from whole, fresh, minimally processed ingredients. Yep, our Culinary Dept. cut and process all the veg for ~60 stores across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast. Every single day, seven days / week. Better yet, every bowl is gluten-free and dairy-free as standard. We’ve got halal-friendly, vegan, vegetarian, and even picky eater options across our menu too. What’s in a bowl? Good question friend. * Start with your base – mixed leaves, sushi rice, brown rice or cabbage. * Choose your veg – kale, bok choy, beets, carrot, onion to name a few. * Add protein into the mix – poached chicken, slow-cooked beef, miso-glazed salmon fillet, salmon sashimi, miso-glazed eggplant or roasted tofu. * Toss in our house dressings – think miso, sesame, tamari, shoyu – with a fresh, modern twist. * Top it off with crunch – how does house tamari almonds or umami cashew crunch sound? Build your own bowl with only the ingredients you like or go with one of our tried and tested house favourite bowls or boxes. Diehard fans love THE O.G, BEEF BRISKET and SPICY SALMON. A cheeky HOUSE SODA on the side is the perfect pairing (no lie). Why get the THISBOWL app? * Order ahead — pre-order for pickup and smugly skip the queue or get it delivered to you. * Track your order in real time — you’ll know the moment your order hits our kitchens and we’ll send you a notification when your bowl is ready for you. * Earn rewards with your healthy habits – Earn 10 points per $1 spent, hit 2000 points and your next bowl is on us. Unlock more rewards with every challenge you complete. * Member perks – get first access to new seasonal menu drops, secret menu, limited merch, birthday surprises and exclusive offers. We take allergies seriously — tell us when you order and we’ll take extra care. Because of our open kitchen and supply chain, we can't guarantee any item is 100% allergen-free — check our allergen matrix online for more info.
