Toast x Bowl in Hoboken, NJ
Since it opened in August last year, Toast x Bowl has been one of our favorite places for lunch on the weekend. This casual place offers an interesting menu composed of sandwiches and rice dishes with an asian flair. I admit that I am not sure which one I prefer, both being quite tasty.
The sandwiches are a take on classic egg sandwich. Made with a deliciously buttery toasted brioche, they top the moist scrambled eggs with whatever you will order. My favorite is the bulgogi bliss that is made of toasted brioche, lettuce, red cabbage, grilled onion, mozzarella, scrambled egg, garlic mayo and thinly sliced of marinated beef. But I admit that the sweet and spicy chicken, with its Thai chili mayo and jalapeño, that top the grilled chicken is quite good too, the scrambled eggs bringing down a bit the heat.

Their bowls are also superb: tasty and colorful, they are very appetizing. The combinations are similar to the sandwiches, with bulgogi, chicken, shrimp or tofu sitting on white rice and accompanied by fresh vegetables. The bulgogi one is, again, my favorite, followed by chicken and then shrimp. But I admit that the tofu is really good, not bland and slightly crispy. If you prefer a salad, once again, you can get the same choices, like the avocado salad that was quite nice.

For sides, their crunchy shrimp are deliciously crispy and not greasy, served with a chili yuzu dip, and so are the sweet potato fries that are quite classic.

To accompany your meal, you can get they homemade drinks, their best seller being the Caribbean fizz that is made with mango juice, apple juice, blue curaçao, lemon, mint and seltzer. Or the strawberry fizz that is also quite refreshing.

Toast x Bowl is a great spot: the food is very good and tasty, with a menu that just makes you want to go back. They also propose desserts, but we did not yet try them. Maybe the next time!
