It might be easy to miss this place, as it's down the stairs at Larimer Square. If you're looking for a delicious healthy vegetarian/vegan bowl for lunch, this is the place! Great service and very fair prices make this place perfect. Enjoy!

I have been a big fan of Bubu's for some time, used to be 2-3x a week Republic regular, and have been missing it since working a bit further out from downtown. Finally got to hit up the Larimer Square spot for the first time today though after months of craving it! Bubu gets right what so many places get wrong. First, there is no fear of flavor here. Not only do all of their bowls come packed with it, there are so many options here that it's just hard to go wrong. And yet, the menu doesn't go nuts. It's simple while still allowing for plenty of choices. My favorites include the Thai (with added kimchi) and Mexican bowls both with a half salad/brown rice mix and chicken. You can't go wrong with these! Second, the price. Bubu is a rare place these days that gets value right. They're not overvaluing their outstanding product: you're getting a full and fresh lunch for $10-12. That seems to be a rarity these days where every sandwich you come across is $12-15 and doesn't approach what comes in these bowls. I only wish this place was open more days and beyond lunch. I look forward to finding more ways to make it back often.

Hands down the best bowls in town. It's my first time eating from this place and it's AMAZING! The ginger lemonade is on point to yummy đ

Great, delicious, fresh bowls with a unique taste compared to most other restaurants of this type. Ducked in during the chalk festival because all the vendors lines were so long, what a find! The staff was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time in and overall just an amazing experience for a reasonable price. Will definitely be back

I liked the options for customization in addition to the pre-set bowls if you didnât want to get creative. Staff was very friendly & patient while I âcraftedâ my selections. Communal seating mostly so if youâre not into that, thereâs limited options. But nice environment - busy lunch spot.

Variety of well designed 'bowls' with a couple of basic options like white or brown rice and protein. Personal favourite is their Thai Bowl with chicken and brown rice, ready in 10min or less.

That was a damned good bowl! I ordered the Paleo because the ingredients sounded good. OMG it was soooo tasty. I can tell this place has an accomplished chef at the helmâthe food is clean and the bowls are packed with flavor. Carrot-mustard dressing was a first for me but now Iâm addicted. And, if I do say so myself, lunch made me feel a smidge healthier. LOL.
P.S. the ginger lemonade is a must

This place is brilliant! They have several bowls on the menu representing different ethnic inspired bowls (Mexican, Californian, Asian, etc.) and the option to make your own with a choice of a base (brown or white rice, noodles, salad, etc.), protein (meat, raw fish, shrimp, chicken, tofu) and finally a wide assortment of toppings and dressings. All items are fresh, translating to a healthy and delicious meal. I canât wait to return!

Lots of great ingredients to make your own super healthy bowl! Great for vegans and vegetarians, it's a super easy place to order lots of different things from. Only downfall is the bowls are a little expensive, it depends on the protein you choose, but even when my friends and I ordered, our bowls were left a bit empty and it seemed like someone skimped on what we ordered. I normally would say order one bowl and split with someone with the size of the bowl they give you, but they weren't super full so I'd recommend each person get their own bowl.
Also forewarning, this place is apparently super packed at lunch hour, as in the line going out the store and above ground - so go on an off hour!

Excellent experience! These guys made my day and then some! I saw this place and stopped by during an extended layover when I was walking through Larimer Square. My expectations were exceeded 10x over! Out of all the meal bowls I've had in my travels through the entire West Coast, these by far, are the best. All ingredients used were exceptionally fresh, the protein and dietary options were diverse and accommodating, and they leave you satisfied. Conversation was genuine and personal; I can tell they are truly invested in the local community and it's people. As soon as I'm in Denver again, Bubu will, without a doubt, be one of the very first places I stop by.

This was a quick search and ended up being so delicious. The bowls are large and can be customized to your liking with a base that includes rice, greens or a combination.
We got the Mexican-based bowl and the Aloha poke bowl, which were both very tasty with fresh ingredients. The sauces/dressings were the star of the meal, IMO. They tied everything so nicely together and we finished feeling healthy and well-fed.

Great staff, great food, & affordable prices! Highly recommend their cookies & ginger lemonade (seriously you'll regret not getting the cookie).
Larimer doesn't have many take-away options which are quick except for Bubu. The versatility of the bowls/make your own allow for anyone with any dietary lifestyle to find something they enjoy. It's nutritiously dense bowls which don't weigh you down or feel heavy.
Staff are seriously so nice & helpful - I love to grab Bubu's when I've forgotten lunch or need a hearty healthy meal.

Great spot for a healthy and quick meal. The veggies were fresh and crisp and the service was great!
Daniel Berry
We were looking a moderately priced lunch after walking around Meow Wolf all morning. The bowl options were good with custom options too, and the fresh quality ingredients were excellent! Fantastic fuel to continue our walk touring. Also, Patrick was so good at helping us order and making us feel welcomed. We sat at the bar to eat and converse. Felt like a friend's house.
Ricky Theil
Damn, this place is really yummy. I went there a couple weeks ago and I got the OG Colorado bowl. It was outstanding. Most impressive was the steak and that it was cooked to a nice medium. Lots of pink, but not raw. Steak was tender and juicy. Man... so good!
Please, Bubu... make an effort to reduce packaging. It bothers me that when I get a bowl with a cup for water that isn't to go, I get a super thick plastic cup with a lid, an eco-friendly straw, and a bowl with a lid on it. The lid isn't necessary, and just wasteful. I love this food, but the packaging makes me feel guilty.
Ernestine Fishburn
OMG, this was my first time having this bowl and it is AMAZING! Hands down the best I have had. The ginger lemonade is on point too yummy đ
Russell Thesing
This place is an embarrassment to food. Wait times are outrageous - I waited 30 minutes with only 5 people in the restaurant, and when my food was served it was a small portion and the food was cold. Never going again - you should skip and go elsewhere.
Gerry Anne Jones
My husband and I were visiting Denver and happened upon Bubu last week. When I saw the word "Paleo" on the list of options, I knew this was my place to eat!
I had the "Paleo" option with salad greens and chicken thighs. It was amazing!
And the nice people at the register even let me try a gluten free chocolate chip cookie!
This is probably the first time I wished someplace was a chain so I could go on a regular basis.

I have been patiently waiting for the Republic Plaza location to open and today it did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing bowls and so fresh! I will be a regular!
Luis Simbana
I discovered bubu a month ago and it has been nothing but consistently delicious and mouth watering! The fresh ingredients are no joke, your taste buds will be instantly gratified. Not to mention the owner and staff are truly great with their service.
Their slogan is Fresh revolution, I hope they are successful. We need more great downtown spots who hit the spot and keep you healthy.

Got the Thai bowl with raw salmon and rice noodles. So goooood. :)
Dawn Bailey Williams
We came for lunch not really knowing what we'd have.... Happiness in a bowl! I had the Hawaii 5 0 with raw salmon and brown rice. My pal had the Thai with chicken. We will so be back!!!!
Amy Best Wilson
I love this place! Super fresh, tasty combinations, tons of options!
