    Strawberry boba

    The Bowl Bar is one of our favorite spots! Their boba bubble tea is amazing--our favorites are the strawberry and coconut flavors. The drinks are always refreshing and perfectly made. The udon bowl with chicken is also very delicious and full of flavor. Everything we've tried has been great. We'll definitely keep coming back!

    much needed post-work meal

    I finally tried the pad Thai and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with the flavors that came out of this dish. There is the unique pad Thai tamarind sauce flavor, but no fish sauce aftertaste. Sometimes I taste that more than the sweet and tangy tamarind. I also got mine spicy, it was only slightly spicy. (I like samyang buldak level spice.) The pineapple fried rice was pretty good too, it had a present and sweet char from the wok. The shrimp was huge. I will be back to try more spicy noodles!

    Really good service! The young man at the counter was excellent in all ways. Very polite, attentive and courteous! Ordered a Coke (was offered a cup of ice, which I said yes to!) Also ordered the Katsudon ( a dish I love, and make occasionally) and also the veggie spring rolls. Spring rolls were very good, and very hot. lol. The dipping sauce was was like a very watered down plum sauce - consistency was basically water... did not stick to the spring rolls like a thicker sauce would. Not much flavor either. Katsudon - ultra crispy on the outside, with a layer of mushy batter under the crisp layer (which tells me these were probably cooked from frozen). Not much flavor... meat was not salted or marinated, and crust was not spiced or salted. It was ok... but I love Katsu, and have had much better. Lettuce in the bowl was fresh and tasty. Rice was good too! The accompanying plum sauce was also watered down... and the spiced mayo was ok. It made the Katsu more enjoyable. Only two tables (seat 4 per) inside, and two 2 seat tables outside. I suspect they do a LOT of takeout. I do want to come back and try their ramen... saw some delivered to another table, and it looked good. Worth trying. So about three stars for the food... and an extra star for the great service!

    It's been a while trying, so decided to just get apps; I was underwhelmed. Nothing was great. The spring rolls were very greasy, no flavor and the orange sauce it comes with was too thick/not good. The dumpling soup was just ok, 2 pieces of broccoli with about 4 soggy pork dumplings in a "dirty broth" for $7.50 wasn't memorable and can be made better at home. The chicken karrage came in small bite size pieces was also VERY greasy and overpriced for $9. Next time, I know to try sticking with the bowls as you get more for your money, with less grease dripping from my fingers and lips.

    Bibimbap
    Boon C.

    It is about 4.5 stars. Bowl bar food has good value on the money paid. I like it simple and early preparation of the ingredients. The restaurant doesn't have much seating place. So to order is a good choice. Today we got the Korean beef bibimbap. This dish has kimchi, spinach, bean sprouts and more. I like the sweet marinated beef. The second dish is the hell's ramen. It is a spicy noodles dish. The dish has good looking charshu pork, crab stick, half broiled egg, fish cake, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts. The soup is ok spicy. I think they can work on the half broil egg better. The charshu is delicious. Good broth too. Our last dish is a appetizer, the takoyaki. Good piece of octopus can be found inside the ball. Overall the taste is great. Love to come back for more items in the menu.

    This place is awesome!! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, the food is fresh and delicious and the tea is tasty too. Come support local! They have 2 tables inside and 2 tables outside for dining. Hubs and I came in for lunch today as soon as they opened at noon. I ordered the mango green tea and Japanese Donburi with chicken. Hubs got the beef bibimbap and soup dumplings. We decided to sit outside since a nice day out. Food came out quick and was hot and fresh. I absolutely loved the Japanese Donburi. The chicken was thinly sliced and the sauce was just so good. It is served with ALOT of rice! Hubs dish was also very good. The soup dumplings were last out because they had to steam cook. They were delicious!! We will definitely be back!! Oh and if you pay cash you get a 10% discount.

    Thai fried noodles with braised pork

    There's a saying in my household: "Bowl Bar does not miss". We have eaten our way through half of the menu and everything is top notch. This is our go-to takeout spot, so much so that we have been neglecting trying new restaurants. Things I've tried that have been excellent: takoyaki, vegetable spring rolls, porky bun, Thai fried noodle, pad Thai, cheesy noodle on fire (get it with braised pork), donburi, Thai pjneapple fried rice. Things I've tried that have been anything less than excellent: 404 error file not found Honestly, the menu is made up of strictly bangers, though it's far from health food and they are generous with the grease, salt, and probably MSG. We usually order two appetizers and two entrees for ~$40 and we each get two meals out of it. If you are even mildly interested in pan-Asian takeout food, this is your spot.

    Hell Ramon with braised meat
    Kim N.

    We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all amazing. Great quality food for a reasonable price , the last order came with a plate of free donuts for dessert. mango and lychee boba are both refreshing and came with bits of real fruit. Only thing is soup dumplings did not have any soup in them? Not sure if something happened during delivery but it was still flavorful. I would say the braised meat is the tastiest option for ramen noodles . It seemed to have a Vietnamese influence on the cooking . Service seems quick with little delay . Definitely want to try some other dishes in person.

    Soup Dumpling
    Marisa V.

    My husband and I ordered some food last minute tonight because we had a long day and wanted something different. I was already out so I ordered online and it was ready within 10 min. Which was a great way to start! Now for the food- We ordered soup dumplings, chicken pad Thai and cheesy spicy noodles with chicken. And just WOW! The spicy noodles were AMAZING, exactly what you would want from that kind of dish. The pad Thai was great as well!! The soup dumplings had a good flavor and dipping sauce, however I think the soup might've leaked out or not existed in them, but because every other part of it was great I'll let it slide. Very excited to have this meal again

    This is a another hidden gem in Carrollwood! Bowl bar is a small restaurant with a culmination of different aspects of Asian cuisine. They don't just stick to one country, there are some Thai, Japanese, & Korean dishes. And the Shumai? *chef's kiss* The only thing that was slightly disappointing but not really because it was still delicious. The Thai noodles ended up tasting just like lo mein. also they're very new & I don't know if they have AC yet. Because it was hot in there when I went and they had one fan keep in the front room cool.

    I had a craving for ramen, and I discovered this place. It's kind of a whole in the wall, and seating is limited. I tried the soup dumplings, spicy ramen, Thai fried noodles and beef skewers. My favorite dish was by far the soup dumplings. Super friendly staff and great service.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our experience even better. We kicked things off with some well-crafted cocktails that hit the mark--balanced, refreshing, and beautifully presented.

The shrimp fried rice leaned a bit on the sweeter side for my taste, but the portion was generous and satisfying. The real winner of the night was the short rib--tender, full of flavor, and easily my favorite entree on the menu. A solid spot for a night out with good food, drinks, and an aesthetic setting.

The tuna tartare was super tasty as well and I would definitely order this again same comment for micro greens on this dish - didn't need this and found myself moving it off the dishes to actually enjoy the item. The two not so favorite dishes for me were the fried rice topped with fried chicken. While chicken was very tasty the rice was extremely basic. Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss. Service for our large party wasn't bad and everything came out pretty quickly!

Appetizer was almost cold by the time it got to our table. The drinks took forever to come out, and I ordered the same thing both times; the first was fine (different looking and tasting from all the times I've had it before), and the second was undrinkable. I tried to flag down the waiter for a replacement, but at that point we had already paid and the hassle of waiting 20 more minutes for a drink that might be bad wasn't even worth waiting for the waiter to come back (which he didn't, even though he had walked past twice and not looked in our direction). Really disappointed after having a great experience every time in the past. Sushi did taste as great as always, it was just overshadowed by the nasty drink and slow service. I don't think we will return after this, even though this was our favorite spot prior.

The flavors blended so well together. I wanted to eat more. Garlic prawns were delish, and shareable, the braised short rib udon was also tasty. The salmon crudo was 3/5, it could've used more flavor. End of the night they offered us free ice cream- tasted like coffee with other delish vanilla and crushed ube cookie.

A tempura shrimp appetizer was so crisp and delicious - similar to a BangBang Shrimp. We couldn't resist the duck. They brought it out to showcase it then went back to preparing it. The kitchen cuts it into sections assuring each piece has that incredible crispy skin on it. The duck comes with thin pancakes, 3 dipping sauces and pickled vegetables to create tasty little bites. Also included was delicious fried rice. We polished off 2/3 of the duck. I wish the duck had spent more time roasting to render more of the fat layer under the skin. In some places it was 3/8 of an inch thick. We enjoyed our ice cream cup dessert.
