Back at Kapao in Mizner Park for lunch, and once again, we're completely in love with this place! The atmosphere here is one of our favorites beautiful. It's definitely become one of our favorite spots to come as a family. And today we were especially excited because they finally have my kids' favorite crispy bao buns again! Needless to say, the kids were thrilled. We ordered our usual favorites the Wild Mushrooms and the Short Rib Steak. These are the dishes we come back for again and again. Honestly, they're worth the drive, and we'll keep making the trip just for them! Everything about Kapao keeps bringing us back the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience. One of our favorite places in Mizner Park! read more

Paul and I went for Friday night dinner and had to eat inside because of the summer heat. It was very noisy as usual inside because of the beating music and and crowds. I came a half hour late but they were kind enough to get us a table before too long. We started with drinks the Lychee Martinis. And had the MAKIMONO fancy talk for "rolls" BOMBDIGGITY* 26. spicy tuna, toasted rice, honey miso. It was delicious! After we waited a while for the 36 oz Wagyu Tomahawk steak with roasted potatoes. It was scrumptious and cooked to perfection. Worth the wait. Service by Johnathan was excellent. He helped us decide on the sushi - there were lots of options. He also checked on us often. Very nice young man! We had no room for dessert. We actually ate the entire meal. Also, they are part of InKind which allowed us to save 20% towards our next InKind restaurant meal. read more

This is my 2nd visit on Sunday June 29th. We had a double celebration. A milestone & another birthday - 2 friends. Our waitress at first wasn't so welcoming we were a group of 11. It took her awhile to warm up. However she was very attentive. The food was very good however, we wished all our dinners came out all at once verses a spur at a time. Drinks were good. Great atmosphere, very clean. read more

In a word: Inconsistent. Both the food and the service had their highs and lows when a grjoup of us recently visited for dinner. One example: we sat outside and were promptly provided with pitchers of cold water without ice. The water quickly became warm and when we asked for ice, the server gave us a few glasses of ice with some spoons. Eventually the server realized this wasn't very effective, so she finally gave us a bucket filled with ice. Kapow is a great place to try a variety of items and share the tapas and sushi. With that in mind, we ordered several items from the small plates menu: charred edamame, ribs, General Tso's cauliflower, brussels sprouts and bang bang shrimp. These items were generally tasty. The spice level varied and was not always as spicy as we expected. For example, the cauliflower did not have much heat despite the description. The shrimp packed a punch though. From the large sushi menu, we had a shrimp tempura roll, which was a nice size and delicious. We also had a few drinks, including a refreshing blueberry lavender mojito, from the extensive cocktail/wine/sake drink menu. Drink options are a high point. One of the lows was my wagyu burger. It was not tender despite supposedly being made with quality beef and cooked to medium temperature. The house pickles were missing from the plate altogether and the house-made kettle chips were actually bland fries that did not appear to be house-made. They came with a spicy ketchup, which I found to be unnecessarily overly spicy. My wife had the Chinatown Caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was an enjoyable twist on Caesar salad with the inclusion of pear slices, wonton noodles and a flavorful Asian Caesar dressing. A high point! Our group ordered a couple of Peking Duck dinners, which is a Kapow specialty and is meant to be shared. The crispy duck comes with cucumbers, scallions, hoisin sauce and vegetable fried rice as well as thin "pancakes" in which to wrap all the ingredients. The fried rice wasn't particularly flavorful but combined with the duck, cucumbers and sauce, the overall combination of items was delicious. Unfortunately, the server misunderstood our order and delivered only one Peking duck dinner rather than the two which we had requested. We had to wait 20 minutes for the second dinner to be prepared. Definitely a low point. As compensation for the miscue, the manager gave us a $25 gift card, which was a nice gesture even though it didn't come close to covering the $85 price of the dish. Would I return to Kapow? Possibly, especially with a group that is interested in sharing several small plates and sushi items. We'd also ask the server to repeat the order back to us to ensure everything is correct! read more

I loved my experience at Kapow noodle bar. I had only been to their West Palm Beach location several years ago, but never tried their Boca location. I came here for a birthday party event where we rented a karaoke lounge room. It was a very fun experience. They have the karaoke iPad on the wall and you're able to add in songs to sing karaoke and also have the ability to order food to the room and drinks. There's a server that comes in throughout the night to check on you and take your orders and whatever you need. It was a lot of fun! Not sure if renting the karaoke room is an additional cost (maybe the host paid for this?), but we all split the food/drink check at the very end. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend! read more

I absolutely love this place! This has been my new go to spot specially on Thursdays! Thursday are ladies night, where you get half off sushi and drinks which is a plus since I'm a huge sushi fanatic. Kapaow offers a daily happy hour from 4 to 7 where you can find a great selection of delicious bites/snacks and half off drinks, including premium spirits, sake, and signature cocktails. My go to is the Madai Seabream, all their sashimis, hamachi roll and their California roll in which they use real crab! From the HH you must order the carrot and mushroom dumplings, wings & their tacos. They will not disappoint. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with a down to earth vibe that makes you want to stay. Inside can get a little louder but there's plenty of outdoor seating for a much quieter experience. The service is consistently excellent and the servers are attentive, friendly and are willing to make modifications to the dishes. The front desk manager always goes above and beyond to accommodate guests and checks on all the tables from time to time. Go check them out! Trust me! read more

5 Stars for a fun bar and delish short rib gyoza tacos! I met a friend at the bar for some light bar bites and drinks before a work dinner. The bartender was friendly and helped my friend pick an N/A mocktail while I got a simple gin martini. Both were great- I appreciated that the mocktail was thoughtful and had cute accoutrements. The short rib gyoza tacos came recommended and it was super flavorful. I actually ended up ordering seconds because it was addictive! The vibe is fun, and this would be a good spot for a group. Looking forward to returning when I'm in town. read more

Amazing noodle bar located in Mizner Park. Asian fusion style cuisine some Korean, Thai and Japanese dishes. Kapow has a modern style decor and a big bar area filled with bright lights. Inside and outside seating area. It is loud and crowded and very lively with an excellent happy hour. I highly recommend you make a reservation. The parking was insane as it was peak hours and was there last night to celebrate early christmas with friends. We almost lost our table at Kapow but they were nice enough to accommodate us. We shared a few starters the pork belly bao buns, wok charred edamames (big bowl) and sushi rolls. Sushi rolls 8 small pieces each. All very delicious. Food here is really tasty. We also had the Shrimp pad thai we also shared and was plenty for the three of us. Best treat was the Ube cheesecake perfect texture not so sweet and lots of berry flavor. Drinks were pouring, glasses were clicking and the night was amazing filled with laughs this place sure is the perfect social setting for a night out. Staff was efficient and attentive. read more

This was our first time at the Boca's Kapow location. It's conveniently located in Mizner Square downtown. The one in WPB (unfortunately closed) and Delray we have frequented. We came here for a late night dinner after the Boca Beer, Wine, and Spirits festival. My steak lo mein was delicious, a little salty but tasty. My husband really enjoyed his chicken sandwich. His fries were the BEST part, Crispy and Hot! Our friends wished they had ordered their own lol. We sat outside and the temperature was perfect. Our waiter was friendly and got our order in right away since we were pretty hungry. read more

Monthly regular to Kapow. Staff is always great and place is always teaming to regulars and always seems busy which is great! The inside has a fun vibe and food has an Asian fusion inspiration. We have tried a good portion of the menu. Our most recent visit we tried some different dishes, including brussels sprouts, short rib, tacos, fried chicken sandwich. Overall, each dish had its positive notes however, nothing stood out flavor wise. Because food is consistent and they have a loyal base I see them to continue to expand. What I appreciate is that staff is always really friendly. Personally I Would love to see a revamp of their menu with some more flavor forward and textural contrast dishes. Overall consistent experience and Great for the weekends read more

We have been to Kapow a few times, they have great ambience, great food, and good service. It can get a bit busy sometimes, so calling ahead is recommended. They have a nice selection of cocktails, beers, and wines. A full menu with many asian starters and dishes. Some of the dishes are on the smaller size, so ordering a few items is often required, which may result in a higher bill, but each dish is very tasty. I recommend Kapow if you are looking for some great drinks and tasty, if small, asian cuisine. read more

Kapow Noodle Bar is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Boca, and every time I go, it reminds me why. The vibe is energetic without being overwhelming, the service is always on point, and the food... unreal. Every dish feels like it was crafted with so much flavor and intention. The bao buns are pillow-soft and packed with flavor, the KFC Korean fried chicken is perfectly crispy with the ideal kick, and the noodles are consistently fresh and full of that bold, addictive umami that keeps you thinking about them days later. Their cocktails are also next-level--creative, balanced, and honestly some of the best you'll find in Mizner Park. What I love most is that Kapow never misses. Whether it's a casual night out, a date, or a quick bite with family, the entire experience is consistently amazing. The staff is friendly, efficient, and genuinely cares about making your visit great. read more

Kapow Noodle Bar - Asian Fusion Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

You don't come to Kapow because you're in the mood for safe. Safe is ordering a California roll at Publix. Kapow is where you go when you want a happy hour that actually feels happy, a cocktail that isn't afraid to make eye contact, and food that punches you in the mouth--in the best possible way. The star of the night? The tuna taco. Not some limp excuse for "fusion" food. No--this thing is a handheld haiku of texture and flavor. Perfect crunch, ruby-red tuna, just enough zing to make you believe the chef has been plotting against your taste buds. I could eat them by the dozen and still consider myself underfed. Drinks? Dangerous in the way only good drinks are. The kind where you say, "Just one more," and before you know it you're half-philosopher, half-karaoke legend, and fully committed to making bad decisions. Which brings me to the back room: the karaoke den. A padded cell of joy and poor judgment. We rented it, filled it with family, and somewhere between Journey and Bad Bunny the kids even joined in. Imagine that--children, normally glued to screens, actually belting out songs with their parents. If that's not a minor miracle, I don't know what is. And the best part? Kapow doesn't try to be something it's not. It's loud, unapologetic, a little chaotic--like life should be. This isn't a place where you linger quietly over wine while whispering about the market. This is where you toast to nothing in particular, demolish a tray of tacos, and sing until your voice gives out. Five stars. Come for the tuna taco, stay for the karaoke, and leave with your dignity slightly dented but your soul properly fed. read more

We had amazing service at the bar during happy hour and also at a table for dinner. We were a large group and our server was fantastic. Food is very good. There was a DJ spinning tunes at 8pm. We were so happy it wasn't super loud so we didn't have to yell to hear each other. There is free parking in the garages. The bar is inside and outside. Happy hour menu is 5-7 and offers 1/2 price wine, $5 beer and $6 cocktails and bar bites range $5-11. read more

We walked in a random Tuesday for their happy hour. When you first walk in it is like walking into an Asian comic book store slash a different world other than mizner park. We decided to sit at the bar which wasn't overcrowded. They do have different events throughout the week and they also have an outdoor patio area. Their happy hour menu is definitely worth a try. They have many items for like $5 - $10 or so off. Food: I tried their fried chicken bun. It was more bun then chicken but the chicken was good. The Wagyu steak tacos are mini fried tacos. But that steak was soo good! It's definitely a hit. We also tried their wings. We did honey with the hot on the side and they also gave us one without any sauce. Honestly, with our without sauce it was still delicious. The wings were crispy and the sauce was very tasty. The hot wasn't too bad. The happy hour menu wings are about 6 while the actual menu brings 10 I believe. I only gave it a 4 star because of the buns. We plan to go for brunch one day so maybe my review will change to a 5 star. The customer service was 5 stars. The bartender was so nice and friendly. He helped me pick a mocktail and all. Overall, it's worth the money and trip to Boca for us. read more

This is easily one of my favorite go to spots. The service has always been great. I am a little bummed out that the Sakura roll has been taken off the menu!!! My bf and I used to go out of our way to stop by here sometimes just to get this. It was such a delicious roll! I also asked if they still make it, and the answer is no. Anyway, they have a ton of other great food options. Our replacement roll is the saki roll as we were recommended that it was similar, but doesn't compare with no cream cheese. The mushroom boa buns are a perfect snack to start your dinner. The crazy noodle dish with the mushrooms.. don't even get me started. Love the softness of the large noodles and all the mushrooms. The vibe is trendy with indoor and outdoor seating, lights dimmed. The 2 tops are a little close for an intimate date night. I enjoy coming here and the experience anyway. read more

My wild mushroom pad tai was so flavorful! I topped it with the Korean short rib. Omg! DELICIOUS!! My guest ordered the same dish with blackened chicken. Kapow's version of blackened chicken is to add the 7 seasoning spice. If you like SPICY- have at it, however, it was soooo spicy that we needed to return it for plain chicken, and we do like spice. This was over the top spicy!! The waitress was very accommodating and her service was to be commended. As always, on a Saturday night, it was very noisy with music blasting. I might add that the portions were plentiful. read more

On a recommendation, my wife and I tried Kapow last night. The place has a great atmosphere and vibe. We really liked the decor inside. The service was good. They were busy, but the server did take care and did a pretty good job of checking on us. He was also very friendly, which made up for the times that he was running around to other tables. We really enjoyed the appetizers and the sushi as we had the crispy rice with tuna, the short rib tacos, and the Miami Heat roll . They were all delicious and had great flavors. The only thing we were not that impressed with was the duck fried rice . The duck on top was delicious and had an amazing flavor. However, the rice was just pretty boring and didn't have much taste. Once the duck was gone, it was just kind of like eating greasy rice . We are definitely going back to this place. We just know next time not to get the duck fried rice. . read more

It's not that I don't like Kapow anymore, it's just not the same. I miss the old "smaller" location. It was more quaint and nice to sit for a drink at the bar or grab a happy meal or sit at a table and grab dinner in a place where we had great ambiance and we could chat and people watch outside. The new location is tucked away from all the sidewalk traffic so no more people watching and the layout is much larger. It's difficult to get an outside table without a reservation and if you dare eat inside then good luck having a conversation (maybe I'm getting old but it was way too loud for us). With some good news, the food is still great. read more

I absolutely adore your establishment. I've been coming to you guys since before you moved to the other side of the road in Mizner. But I have to be honest the last time I visited we were profiled. It was a Sunday afternoon around 3 PM and we were just ignored sitting at our table for about 30 minutes. We asked somebody if they could come by to get our drinks and no one ever came back. But I'll still eat at your delray location because I wasn't treated the same. Delray everyone was very welcoming and sweet. The food is impeccable. I love the menu I always have. And the ambience you can't beat it. read more

I cannot believe that I have been eating here for years and have not posted a review. This will be short, to leave you time to go to KAPOW as soon as you can, and eat, as opposed to spending too much time reading this review! Bottom line, the VIBE is appealing, even to an old man like myself. The creativity of the art and images on the walls and everywhere you loo,k including table tops and an awesome collection in the men's bathroom. KAPOW has been in Miznerf Park for close to 10 years, and loved to this larger and much more attractive space a few years back. Large outdoor eating, both adjacent to outdoor bar, and their space next to Max's. Wait staff are usually spot on, efficient and pleasant,able to explain the menu if necessary, and follow-up as needed. All are quite young. And the bartenders are also attentive, no matter how busy it gets. And now, the food. Well, I love their special sushi plates, and they recently expanded their sushi offerings exponentially. And have several top notch sushi makers. And they also switched out their executive chef, with more creative offerings. Love their dumplings, the pad thai is good, not like you get in other Asian style places. Their salads are fab, all fresh healthy ingredients, to which you add your protein(s), Their version of Vietnamese chicken wings is unlike any other wings you've had. I could go on and on describing various offeriungs, but you should look at posted pics and check their menu. One point to be made, which while I understand, still find it bothersome. When last there, in January 2025, I noticed several changes in the menu offerings, higher prices, items missing, and smaller portions. When I brought to attention of our server, she looked at me and said "WELL, WE CHANGED OUR MENU WHEN SEASON STARTED..." And I looked at her and stated "SO, YOU'VE Dropped CERTAIN OFFERINGS, DROPPED OTHERS, AND MADE SOME PORTION SIZES SMALLER?? And see said "yes, its season". I half kidding said, "well, you should ask for driver's license and anyone with a Florinda driver's license should get the other menu...with more offerings and larger portion sizes. read more

The place is in a great spot right on the Ave in Delray Beach. Some of the food is good and some is not. We sat inside but felt forgotten about. We were hungry so we gave the appetizer order with our drink order. We received our appetizers first. Then the drinks and then had to ask if we could have some water. Our first appetizer was the General Tso's Cauliflower. Pleasantly surprised. It wasn't fried and it had a great flavor. Loved it. Next was the Tuna Tartare Crispy Rice, this was ok. The rice was a little mushy compared to crispy and the tuna and flavors were all very good. Then we had the Samurai Crab Rangoon I would recommend these. They weren't overly fried. The sauce was really good and we devoured them. Then we got the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries. This was just that. Nothing spectacular. We would not get it again. It was not good. From 1-10 I'd give it a 4. Then we got the Five Vegetable Fried Rice and added chicken. (Big mistake to add chicken). The chicken was not edible. It was chewy and tasted like it was reheated and toss in. It was not cooked fresh. I picked it out and told them it was not good. The rice itself was good. Nothing extraordinary. Wasn't impressed with the main meals. The appetizers were good. I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't tell people to go there unless they were doing just apps and drinks. read more

This was our second visit, and while the restaurant consistently delivers great food, the overall experience varies depending on how you book. Our first visit was in a private karaoke room for six (Karaoke Room 1), and although the space was definitely cramped, with the table taking up most of the room and leaving little space to move around, the actual karaoke setup was pretty nice. They had a HUGE song selection, and the audio quality was great aside from the occasional microphone feedback when the mics were too close together. The $300 minimum for two hours in Karaoke Room 1 was easy to meet between six people. What really made the experience memorable, though, was the staff. Our coordinator and server were incredibly attentive, helpful, and even joined in on karaoke, which made the night especially fun! For our second visit, we opted for a regular dining reservation for eight, and this is where the experience fell a bit short. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, service was noticeably slow. It took about 30 minutes just to receive half of the drinks we ordered, and a few were forgotten entirely. Our appetizer didn't arrive until an hour after being seated. The food itself, again, was absolutely delicious which helped make up for some of the delays. During this visit, we ordered the Char Sui Pork Bao Bun, the Wagyu Beef Potstickers, and the Wild Mushroom Chow Fun with an 8oz steak... all three dishes were amazing. Overall, this place excels in food quality and has a fun, lively atmosphere, especially for karaoke groups, but the regular dining service needs improvement. If you're going for karaoke, you'll likely have a great time. read more

The bartender was lovely and rolling with the punches but I've been eating at Kapow for many years since I lived on the Island right across from the one in West Palm. The ahi tuna tacos were 1/3 the size of what I've been getting for years, rudely small. A laughable amount of food. With tip I paid 24$ for enough food to eat in 3 minutes total. Full price, not happy hour. Also your iced green tea tasted like it came from a fountain, not a fan. I'm not going to come back to this location anymore which sucks because since I go to school down the road this was gonna be my new spot. Oh well. read more

First time at Kapow in Boca, and it was great. When I made the reservation I signed up for their emails, and gave them my birthdate, which happened to be the day after our reservation. Kapow sent a birthday coupon for $25 off dinner, which was a nice surprise. Dinner was excellent. We each had a cocktail, and split two appetizers (tuna crispy rice was outstanding) and an entree, spicy beef basil. The beef dish was delicious, deeply flavored and melt in your mouth tender. It was plenty of food for two, and we even had some leftover. Then they brought us an order of thai donuts as another birthday gift! Service was lovely, friendly and attentive. We ate indoors, and the noise level was very manageable. The outdoor space is lovely, next time we'll try that. read more
