Crisp air, cozy sweaters, and fall flavors are here. At Balance Grille, the changing season is the perfect reason to introduce bold, comforting new favorites to our menu. This year’s fall menu, crafted by our COO Chef CJ Jang, draws inspiration from his childhood, college years, and the early days of Balance. The result? Comfort food, Balance-style.

Just like the season itself, these flavors are here for a limited time. Here’s your guide to four must-try dishes that capture the essence of fall.

Why Seasonal Menus Matter at Balance Grille

Balance Grille is more than fast casual. It’s chef-driven, scratch-cooked, and built around fresh ingredients from Balance Farms. Every seasonal dish starts with a story, and for Chef CJ Jang, comfort food is deeply personal. By reimagining his own favorite memories, he’s created a fall menu that feels nostalgic yet new.

#1 Honey Butter Chicken Bowl

Inspired by CJ’s childhood love of soy butter rice, this bowl is pure comfort with a modern twist. Crispy chicken poppers, fresh microgreens, and a drizzle of sweet-savory honey butter sauce come together in a bowl that’s rich, satisfying, and unforgettable. Pair it with bubble tea for the full Balance experience.

#2 Kimchi Queso Snack

Late-night college cravings turned into a seasonal star. Creamy queso blended with spicy kimchi creates a bold, umami-packed dip perfect for sharing. Served with citrus-seasoned blue corn tortilla chips, it’s the kind of snack you’ll want all to yourself.

#3 Hot & Sour Soup

Finally, it’s here! The first ever soup from us: the Hot & Sour Soup. CJ served it for the first time, featuring a tangy, peppery broth with tender tofu. Veggies and swirls of egg also make the soup unique. 

It’s back and better than ever! Our classic Hot & Sour Soup is making its return, and fans can’t stop talking about it. Tangy, peppery broth with tender tofu, swirls of egg, and crisp veggies creates a hearty, warming dish that hits perfectly on chilly days. Add rice and steak to make it a full meal—you’ll be glad you did.

The warming, energizing, and balanced bowl is simple yet so hearty. A part of our seasonal menu, this soup is best enjoyed in the sweater weather of the fall. 

#4 Thai Chili Salad

When you want a fall dish that feels fresh, fiery, and a little unexpected, the Thai Chili Salad delivers. It’s crisp, colorful, and balanced with just the right kick of heat to warm you up as the weather cools down.

Packed with vibrant greens from our hydroponic farms partnered with Planted in Detroit, MI. Topped with red onions, red bell peppers, fresh sliced cucumbers, hot peppers, and cilantro, and paired with a zesty Thai chili dressing. This salad keeps things light while still bringing serious flavor and is the kind of bowl that proves fall comfort doesn’t always have to be heavy. It’s bold, energizing, and full of flavor.
