This is our second family trip to Foody Bowl and it probably will not be the last one. Honestly, this is the best ramen in town. I tried several other places in Ocala/The Villages area and nothing competes with this cute little restaurant nearby publix. It's not a super fancy place but the food delivers, and that matters more than anything else. The bubble teas here are not half bad either. This time, we also tried the Takoyaki and it was on point, tender and juicy on the inside! The broth of the black garlic tonkotsu is well worth the price of this dish. It's hearty and flavorful. My only setback, as a person that cooks this dish at home as well as orders it whenever possible, is that the Chashu, this time around was a little on the drier side and the cut is also on the thinner side. However, getting a Chashu to that right tender texture is really not easy to do, and since it was very tender on the first time we went to eat here, I don't fault it that much. Other than that the ramen is absolutely to die for. The host/waitress was also very cute and kept checking on us to see if we are satisfied or need anything else. read more

Stopped in for lunch. It was my first time there. Service was quick and friendly! I ordered the Chicken Ramen; she offered it spicy; I took her up on the offer. It was SPICY! Not, "blow out your palate" spicy, but "have a good sweat and speed up your metabolism" spicy! I ordered the lunch portion, which was HUGE and delicious! Oh, and that egg in the bowl--it's amazing![[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cozy lunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We probably wouldn't go for dinner, but I'll go back for lunch anytime! Go try it! read more

One of the best Ramen places in Ocala, as backed by popular consensus. Thoroughly enjoyable, the shoyu and the chicken ramen have been absolutely stellar. The grilled chicken is charred to perfection, and served along with the seasoned broth (that undergo an 8-hr stew process), bean sprout, soy egg, seaweed, wood ear mushroom, corn and green onions sprinkled on top - you have a heavenly mixture of all that is delightful in a bowl. The service has always been superb the three times that we've visited, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is clean, relaxing, and reminiscent of a Japanese ramen house with the the maneki neko cat decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I especially enjoy the bowl and spoon with their name on it. We always leave content and belly satisfied with a good meal after every visit. We will be back for more. read more

Foody Bowl - Counter area - Poke Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Small family owned restaurant serving fresh ingredients to a continuous stream of customers during non-prime time hours. We ordered poke bowls, gyoza, octopus balls, pork buns, edamame, and other appetizers. Excellent food, great service, and friendly owners. We would be eating there every week if we lived in the area. Will plan to go back if we ever come back to Ocala. read more

We saw the terrific reviews on Yelp and just had to try it. It was very good. I had Spicy Curry Ramen and my wife had Chicken Yaki Soba. My ramen was served with a nice Pork Katsu cutlet which was very tasty and crisp. Both dishes were generous portions. The restaurant is located in a large Publix plaza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its decor is pleasant and super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I believe that our waitress was perhaps the owner of this restaurant. She was super nice, friendly, and helpful. She thoroughly explained every menu item that we had questions about. Our first visit to Foody Bowl was very positive. We will definitely be repeat customers. read more

Foody Bowl - Spicy Curry Ramen - Poke Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The location is in a strip mall, but the reviews said give it a try. Food was just ok. Had fried dumpling appetiser and spring rolls, easy and quick, since it was our first time there we had lots of questions. Service was abysmally slow and there were only 3 occupied tables in the restaurant; plus 2 two-go orders. Service went down hill when I asked the young waiter to remove the appetiser plates. Empty-handed at the time, he said he would be back for them, like he could not be bothered with such triviality. 5 min later we still were waiting for him to remove them so we could order more food. Then 10 minutes later another person came by and took the plates and 5 minutes later that person returned to take our order. 2 chicken ramen and 2 shrimp ramen, simple order. Lacked flavor and was lukewarm when it arrived. Won't be back, I do not recommend this place. read more

Salmon poke quality was less than mediocre. Even Publix salmon is far better quality than this place. Very disappointing. Bought two Damon poke bowls and a tonkotsu ramen. Husband isn't a picky eater and he forced himself to eat the ramen so that's telling. We couldn't finish the poke bowls because it wasn't good at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Employees were really nice and atmosphere was welcome which was fantastic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but food quality was not good. If you know what good ramen and poke bowls are really like, go elsewhere. It's pricey and not worth it at all. read more

Good appetizers. Little pricey but the broth was delicious. The spicy tonkotsu was the right amount of spicy and the pork belly was fantastic. read more

We really enjoyed our food at the Foody Bowl! My wife had Tonkatasu Raman in a pork broth. I had Shrimp Raman in a chicken broth. We also had Thai tea with mango jelly and boba. The broth for each was very flavorful with the pork having a stronger flavor. The noodles were done well . My shrimp and my wife's pork were excellent. I finished mine completely. My wife took a portion home. After her broth cooled in the refrigerator it was gelatinous. This indicates the broth was not a simple can of broth. It was the good stuff. The service was wonderful. We ordered warm water to drink and it was served with a smile. We will be back! read more

Just, WOW! This has been the absolute WORST Ramen I have had in 20 years since we used to eat it from 20 cent packages. Zero flavor, hundred percent salt. Ordered takeout and when I arrived the waitress/hostess could not be bothered to greet or acknowledge my presence, along with a couple others that arrived at the same time. No, welcome. No, I'll be with you in a moment. Just ignored us while she went past us (3) times to bring out other food. When she finally did assist, my order was just coming out. She packed it up, without a word and handed it to me. 3 minutes down the road I got a call to come back to get my appetizer that was forgotten. When I got back to my hotel the black garlic oil I paid extra for was also not included. I will never patronize this establishment again. Thinking about ordering? Go grab a case of the dried up squares with the MSG packets and enjoy the money you saved. read more

Food and service was fine, I enjoyed my bowl, will be back. Review said I need at least 85 characters so here they are.

A hidden gem. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the good and the friendly service from this place. I had tonkatsu ramen. Very flavorful. The ramen noodle was done just right. The pork slices were so tasty. An A for this ramen noodle. My husband had chicken ramen. He loved the tasty broth. Nothing was left in his bowl. The Thai tea with mango jelly was also refreshingly good. I am glad we ran into this place. read more
