Our take: The Crowded Bowl in NTU offers a build-your-own bowl concept with a focus on healthier options.
We note frequent mentions of their scrambled eggs, olive rice, and chickpeas as popular choices.
While the concept aims for health, some reviewers highlight an excessive use of oil in cooked dishes, which might contradict the 'healthy' branding.
Portions can be inconsistent, with some customers reporting smaller servings from certain staff members, though a 'sweet auntie' is praised for generous portions and friendly service.
Pricing has been a recurring concern, with a small bowl increasing from $4.50 to $4.90, and additional charges for takeaway containers ($0.30) and even plastic bags ($0.20), which some find excessive compared to other outlets or even Starbucks.
The lunch queue can stretch to 20-30 minutes, making it a time commitment during peak hours.
We'd recommend this for a quick, customizable meal if you're in the NTU North Spine area and don't mind the potential wait or inconsistent portioning.
It's a reliable option for campus-goers, but not a destination for a gourmet healthy meal.
