Bowl Izakaya

I visited this restaurant last month on the 12/19/25 because I was craving ramen. I wrote down my review, just forgot to post it. I searched “ramen near me” on Google, and this place popped up—it was easy to find, good ratings, and conveniently close. We arrived to find it very busy, which I took as a great sign: a packed restaurant usually means the food is good. Luckily, it wasn’t so crowded that we had to wait too long, and we were seated fairly quickly. For drinks, we kept it simple with water and soft drinks—nothing special, but perfectly fine. As appetizers, we ordered the pepper tuna tataki (recommended by our waiter) and the Spicy Dragon Bao (xiao long bao). The tuna was excellent: it had a nice subtle spice and an almost chargrilled flavor. The bao was also well-made and clearly

Soooooo good!!!!! The location isn't anything fancy and the place has limited seating but we went during happy hour and it was still pretty busy. But after eating the food, I can see why. I would definitely go back! Everywhere got was great.

I work nearby and have ordered takeout ramen & gyoza a few times now. After having lived in Japan for a few years, it can be difficult to meet my standards for the good Japanese comfort food I often find myself craving. I do think this place has some of the best Tonkotsu Ramen north of Denver - the broth is tasty and not too oily, noodles are cooked well, and the pork belly melts in your mouth. Pretty much all you can ask for with decent Tonkotsu ramen. Also worth noting that the way they season their gyoza is delicious. Love having this place nearby! I can’t speak on the rest of their menu yet - but I definitely recommend the ramen and gyoza.

Really enjoyed the Ramen and sushi. We ordered medium spicy on the Ramen and it had a bit of kick to it. It was on the higher end of medium spice, so be careful if you're sensitive to spicy stuff. The bathroom was not in the best of shape but it was adequate. Sushi had good integrity and was nice quality.

Authentic & delicious Japanese cuisine here in NOCO, so glad we live close by! We are foodies & moved near-by recently, came for the tonkatsu ramen, it was delicious. If you go when it's not busy it's better, the service is great also.
