| - Given that I work literally a block away from this location, it was just a matter of time before I sampled Freshii's wares.
The inciting incident that finally gave me a push was a pretty decent deal on the Ritual app. The problem was, though, that other people clearly had the same idea, so ordering and picking up the food was nothing short of a nightmare. But that's a rant for another time and place.
I decided to try the Pangoa bowl ("brown rice, avocado, aged cheddar, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, lime wedge, fiery bbq sauce"), to which I added chicken and extra bbq sauce on the side.
It's an impressive amount of food, but is it delicious? Not really. The bowl is laid out surprisingly neatly, especially given the crush of orders the staff must've been dealing with, but the whole thing never becomes more than just edible sustenance.
The "fiery bbq sauce" is undoubtedly the culprit here, as the sweet, tangy concoction is so strong (and surprisingly spicy) that it completely obliterates all of the bowl's many other flavors. This leads, after a few bites, to a sameness that becomes oppressive, as each and every mouthful tastes exactly the same.
And given that the price point for this thing is around $10, I just can't see myself ever ordering from Freshii again.
