Fueling New York, One Bowl at a Time
At Power Bowls, we’re all about fresh ingredients, bold Korean flavors, and food that makes you feel good. Located in the heart of the Financial District, our fast-casual kitchen turns simple grains, crisp veggies, and savory proteins into colorful, satisfying meals. Each bowl is crafted with care — from our house-made kimchi to perfectly seasoned bulgogi, spicy pork, tofu, or chicken teriyaki. Whether you’re in a rush or ready to relax, Power Bowls brings balance, flavor, and energy straight to your table.
