I'll keep it short and sweet! The staff was quick and friendly and the food was done quickly! Beef bulgogi bowl- delicious, simple and good portion for the price. While simple, the flavor was amazing! Very well balanced and not lacking in seasoning! Highly recommend coming here for quality and tasty ingredients! read more

Ordered a Shoyu Ramen which is one of my faves! Recently opened in Pismo (the Morro Bay is the original), and the high quality ingredients, deliciousness, casual setting, and friendly service are still the same. They have parking in front which is nice so you don't need to find street parking only. Topped off the meal with dessert, a generous coconut sorbet. The owner keeps a high standard which makes this the BEST value for high quality food. Trust me, coastal food doesn't always have to be fried. Try this and you WILL be back. read more

SLAMMED this poke on the beach. Perfect walking distance to the pier if you take it to go. Enjoy the okie poke, they did not skimp on the fish an toppings. WAYYY too much rice but that doesn't mean it lacked fish. The tuna was fresh. I wish there were a few more non-cream based sauces. I would go back in a pinch. Service was quick read more

This is the best Ramen I have ever had. The texture of the noodles was perfect. Not soggy or overcooked, but al dente. The texture also stayed the same up to the last bite. The pork belly was nice and crispy and perfectly seasoned. The broth had a flavor that was out of this world. And the presentation was as good as the flavor. The service was also very nice and friendly. I did not expect Ramen this good in a touristy area. read more

Our last stop before leaving the beach, the kids were hungry so I stopped by for a quick meal. The young lady was quick to take our order and was all smiles. We Ordered the Poke Bowl and Kids Shrimp ramen. It was a small quiet corner shop and had tiki vibes. The kids were happy with their meals as it was pretty flavorful and fresh. I would definitely come back and dine in when we visit Pismo again. read more

It was a perfect day for a bowl of ramen. Everything sounded so good, I was t sure what to get. The owner and staff were helpful with what to try.

This Asian Fusion restaurant is located on the corner of Dolliver St. and Pomeroy Ave. with plenty of parking and walking distance to the beach. Inside and outside seating, their patio is dog-friendly so you can bring your furry friend(s). You place your order with the cashier and find an open table. They will bring out your food. I tried their 'Beef Bulgogi Bowl' and it tasted amazing! Which is a flavorful Brown Rice bowl with Filet Mignon Skewers and fresh popular Asian Cuisine ingredients. Everything was cooked to perfection, such a satisfying and healthy tasting meal. I wouldn't substitute a thing on it, it's put together perfectly. Service was awesome, friendly and welcoming staff. We had our lunch in their patio as we had our dog with us. The friendly cashier took time to go say hello to our pup which was a nice gesture. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely return to try their Ramen. read more

We decided to kick off our local ladies luncheon group (L3g) with a visit to Chowa Bowl. We started by supporting one of our woman owned restaurants right up the road from us in Pismo Beach. It was everything we could have hoped for. Kelly was a phenomenal host. Our meals were amazing and the service was exceptional. We were pleased with the designated parking spaces right in the heart of Pismo Beach. We hope to go back as often as we can. read more

BEST Steak Salad in town! Love, love, love their "Bay Burrata Salad", which I then swap the burrata cheese for perfectly cooked filet mignon skewers! Includes: fresh mixed greens, roasted beets & butternut squash, shaved fennel, cherry tomato, pickled corn, shaved watermelon radish, pickled shallots, fine herb, black sesame seed and yuzu / ginger vinaigrette. Heck, I got myself hungry again ;-) I've had this salad three times now and it's been very consistent and always thoughtfully prepared. Add a friendly and helpful staff, speedy counter service, and nice patio. Plus FREE parking lot in Pismo! You should go, just sayin' ... read more

So fresh! Came for the weekend to Pismo found this spot the first day. Would've went here three days in a row if they were opened for Super Bowl day. But came back the next day and it hit the spot again. Poke salad just perfect mix of everything. My daughter loved the ramen. And heard the chicken salad was just as good as poke salad. I'm sure you'll love it. read more

We ordered and shared a number of dishes. The food presentation was beautiful and had a great combination of flavors. The chicken and beef skewers were perfectly cooked and were tender and tasty. A minor distraction was that we felt the bowls were over dressed but we will adjust in the future by ordering the dressing in the side. The staff were very friendly and professional. We will visit again. read more

Sad to write a poor review, as I was hoping this restaurant would be great! The ambiance and employees working were very kind, but the BYO ramen bowls that I ordered were possibly the worst ramen I've had from a restaurant, and definitely very overpriced for the amount of food given. The pork belly pieces, which were EACH $2.35, were about 2x1 inches in size. Super small amount. The ramen broth tasted like a teriyaki sauce - neither tasted like a miso nor a shoyu broth (we ordered one of each). It was very easy to spend $40 pre-tip on takeout for merely 2 bowls of ramen, which isn't extraordinary these days, but the portions were so small and the flavor so off putting that I sadly could not imagine returning. Just seemed like a tourist trap, so I'll stick to other local options. read more
