    Poke with Salmon and Tuna
    Erica M.

    If you're looking for great ramen and poke, The Bowl is definitely worth trying. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing. Their ramen has incredible flavor and the poke bowls are some of the best I've had. On top of that, the customer service is excellent -- everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots and I'll definitely keep coming back!

    Excellent food and service
    Victor P.

    Clean overall, bathrooms are in great condition and the service is excellent and the food of course. I would come back again.

    Stone Bibimbap Stone Bowl with Bulgogi
    Melissa H.

    Don't let the exterior dissuade you- well worth it. We just happened to stop in because of the reviews and very glad we did. Excellent food and generous serving size. If you want to have a cool dining experience get the stone bowl- I had it with rice and bulgogi and vegs. Great flavor. There was one young lady working the front and delivering orders to the tables. She was great and very personable. When we arrived we were the only ones in, but within 20 minutes there were at least a dozen people. I think we have found a hidden gem!

    Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice

    Amazing food, service, and ambiance!! Food portions are large and you definitely get your moneys worth with the quality!

    Stir fry 2 meat Bowl

    Call in my order and it was 10 to 15 minutes and it was ready. Customer service was great. It was OK could've had a little more flavor but still good and great portion.

    Original Ramen Bowl Stir Fry Shrimp
    Rhonda G.

    First off it smells SOOOO GOOD wen you walk in. The amazing aroma SLAPPED me in my face so I HAD to order something! The cashier asked if it was my first time and I said yes. He was extremely helpful breaking down the menu and his recommendation. I ordered the Ramen with spicy shrimp and shrimp eggrolls. The Ramen is huge so beware. It was good wit lots of flavor ( could've used more seasoning though) and the eggrolls were delicious! Will be returning soon especially during these cold rainy days.

    Fried Tofu Poke Bowl

    Poke Bowl was very good. Spicy Mayo is definitely SPICY. Have to get bottled drinks. No fountain drinks. Ambience is a little off, but the food was good.

    Bibimbap Bowl with tofu
    Nisha B.

    I ordered the bibimbap with tofu and didn't really like it! The tofu had absolutely no flavor and I really couldn't stand to eat it. The rest of the dish was just ok. I think the prices are average, can get a bit pricy depending on the protein you add. I got takeout and I am glad I did becuase the inside looked very dim and also smelled like cleaning products. The staff at the front were really nice though and had our order ready pretty quickly, but I probably wouldn't be back.

    First time visiting The Bowl, I made my own bowl full of fresh veggies and tofu. The spicy mayo sauce is spicy, be aware of that! It is a simple menu, not to many options. Flavor is good and the costumer service was pretty good.

    Giving this place 4 stars because of the staff's friendliness and the place was kept clean and I love the kimonos hung on the wall. I haven't been here in a very long time and wasn't starving either, so I shared the hot stone bulgogi with brown rice with my sister. Her boyfriend got the ramen and spring rolls. The bulgogi had a nice flavor but wasn't expecting the serving to be very soupy. I didn't try the ramen personally but heard it was spicy (he ordered spicy level 7 out of 10). The spring rolls were nice and crispy and your typical spring rolls. This place definitely caters to the American palette. If you're looking for something more authentic, I say go to Buford Highway or elsewhere since this is not the place for that.

    Chicken and rice was dry, veggie was suggy and no flavor in any of the food. Overpriced. Go other place.

    What is "Polk"?

We got the sushi and sashimi lunch and a bento box which was enough for 2 adults and a hungry toddler Each lunch comes with soup or salad & both were delicious. They have a mayo-y ginger dressing similar to yum yum sauce. I prefer vinegar based but it was good! The nigiri had a little flair which I love! And everything was so fresh and soft pieces of fish. Very good quality for this price point! Sashimi had some nice cuts & generous pieces & plate presentation was Instagram ready The bento came with California roll, yakitori stick, tons of veggies, fried rice (+$1 but worth), huge portion of meat of choice, and shumai (or gyoza). This is big enough for 2 small eaters or one big eater. Everything was delicious and we were checked on often Their high chairs are clean & staff were pleasant with the toddler They have specials listed at the front door in tiny font I couldn't read from far away & they also sell jewelry it seems I didn't get a pic of the entire menu because it was multiple books and I didn't realize it We'd definitely come back! Plenty of parking in a shared lot

This is a family owned and operated spot. The wife is the server, so service can get a little slow when it gets busy. However, your patience will be rewarded. We had Agedashi Tofu, seaweed salad, a sashimi platter and a sashimi/Sushi combination platter. The dashi w/ the tofu was the best I've ever had. Obviously made from scratch. Strong notes of fresh ginger, and the tofu was great. Their miso soup was similarly fantastic. No dried mix here. It was very, very good. The sushi and sashimi were great too. The prices were very fair and they were very kind. We will 100% be back.

I met my girlfriend here because our normal sushi spot in the square is closed on Mondays, and I'm her sushi friend. It is in the Kroger shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. It's a small restaurant with maybe 10 tables of 4 and 8 seats at the sushi counter. The sushi is so fresh, and the staff is so friendly. We had a hard time deciding what to eat, but we finally went with Dragon roll, rainbow roll, and spicy yellowtail. I also got a hot sake. We loved all of the rolls and will be back.
