Create-your-own: your bowl, your rules

Love control? Build your own at the fresh market bar — proteins, veggies, sauces, and spices, exactly the way you like them. It’s the classic BD’s experience and the best way to dial in your perfect bowl.

It’s also ideal for dietary preferences, since you choose every ingredient.

Chef-crafted Signature bowls: let us build it

Short on time or want a guaranteed crowd-pleaser? Order a Signature Stir-Fry bowl — recipes like Mongolian Beef, General Tso’s Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, or Sesame Garlic Chicken, built and grilled by the kitchen with premium ingredients.

Great for takeout and delivery, too, when you want BD’s without the build.
