Heat Sealable 21oz/620ml 5.5" Round Gold Foil Container for Large Pho Bowl & Takeout Hot Pot

A 620ml bowl is what you need when a regular 450ml just isn't enough. This 5.5 inch round container holds about 21 ounces – that's a large pho with extra noodles, a hearty hot pot base for two, or a generous portion of curry laksa. The depth is 55mm, which is noticeably deeper than the 520ml version. That extra 9mm doesn't sound like much, but it means you can fill the bowl with broth and toppings without worrying about spillage when you snap on the lid.

The gold finish here plays a different role. For large portions, customers are already paying a premium. A silver bowl might make them feel like they're getting a cheap upgrade. A gold bowl justifies the higher price. A Vietnamese restaurant in Sydney switched to these 620ml gold bowls for their "deluxe pho" – the one with extra beef and a softshell crab on top. They heat seal them with a clear film so the crab is visible. The bowls cost a few cents more than standard, but they charge $3 extra per bowl. Customers happily pay.

You have two lid options: foil or plastic. The foil lid requires manual crimping – fold the rim over the lid by hand. It's secure enough for thick broths and semi liquid stews. The plastic lid snaps on faster, which matters during a Friday night rush. Neither is 100% leakproof for thin soups like consommé, but for pho broth (which has some viscosity) or hot pot soup, they work well. If you need absolute leakproof, this rim is also compatible with heat seal film – you would just need a sealer machine.

Packing is 1000 pieces per carton. The exact carton dimensions are available upon request – they vary slightly by production batch. Lids are ordered separately. The gold coating is baked onto the aluminum before forming, so it won't flake or scratch during stacking.

Why 620ml specifically? Because it's the largest single serve bowl that still fits comfortably in a standard delivery bag. A 750ml bowl is wider or taller, which often requires a larger bag. At 5.5 inches in diameter and 55mm deep, this bowl slides into most insulated bags without issue. A delivery driver can stack four of them vertically without the bag bulging. For a restaurant that does high volume, that efficiency matters.

One unexpected use: frozen soup cubes. A meal prep company uses these 620ml bowls to freeze large portions of soup base. They fill to 600ml, leaving 20mm headspace for expansion, then heat seal a film lid. The frozen block pops out easily if you run warm water over the bottom of the bowl. The gold color helps the product look appealing even in a freezer case.

Recycling is straightforward. The bowl and foil lid are aluminum. The plastic lid is recyclable in most areas (check local PET/PP rules). Some buyers choose the foil lid to keep the package 100% aluminum and avoid plastic altogether.

So if you're serving large noodle bowls, takeout hot pot, or just want to offer a "deluxe" portion that feels special, this 620ml gold bowl is a solid choice. It's deep, it's gold, and it handles the big portions without complaint.
