    kid's ramen with chicken
    Lea M.

    Great spot for a quick lunch! I've been here a few times and it's been consistently good! I love their bowls, ramen and dumplings. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. The restaurant is low key, and it's a seat yourself after you order place, the staff is friendly and accommodating, just a no frills place. Come eat and go. Highly recommend if you're by yourself, looking for a quick bite, or with a few friends. It's clean and they have a free water station in the back.

    This was a nice find! I thought the service was great since the lady taking my order was sweet and patient throughout. The ambiance is nice also- it has a couple of small booths inside to eat at- it seems you order at the counter and then sit down. We opted to go. TIP: not everything is on the menu up front or in the paper menu itself. Make sure to peep the left wall which lists some of the many items but also using the paper menu as a supplement to it. For example, I looked on the paper menu and did not see the shrimp tempura Bao bun until after I ordered and sat- I then realized they have a whole menu on the left wall. The food I had was: -Shrimp Tempura: nice and crispy, fresh. The batter was a bit overpowering to the amount of shrimp but nonetheless pleasant to eat. It paired super well with the sweet Spicy Mayo sauce it came with! -Chicken Bao Bun: fresh, although I felt it was missing something the whole time. It comes with grilled chicken and coleslaw which you can tell are freshly made. The coleslaw is fresh and crunchy. Although I ended up using the Sweet spicy Mayo sauce that came with the shrimp tempura which helped a lot. -Takoyaki Octopus Balls: pretty good! Topped with a lot of sauce and you can tell they are freshly fried. The meat inside is a decent amount from other Takoyaki Balls I've had although the dough is overpowering and mushy at points. Maybe doing a bit less dough would balance it out better. Otherwise pretty decent Takoyaki! I'm just visiting this area but would recommend you check this place out. From what I tasted- they offer fresh, quality food. Inside it feels like you're in a spot in Japan which is nice. I would def recommend ordering their Shrimp tempura Bao bun which will hopefully come paired with the Cole slaw and Sweet spicy Mayo sauce.

    So glad I tried this place while I was in the area. I got a build your own KBBQ bowl with chicken. There was so much chicken and everything was so flavorful. I like that there are many options for toppings and there is a table of seasonings/sauces you can add to your food. Prices are very reasonable and service was great.

    Food was amazing!!! So flavorful!!! You can add some or all the toppings and each doesn't cost extra like other places. I'm definitely coming back.

    Love this place! Small and quiet casual place. Great ramen flavor and vegan options! Nice staff. Prices went up though just FYi

    I'm starting to become addicted to this restaurant. Everything is always perfect. The ingredients are fresh, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out fast! My favorite so far is the Bibimbap, but it's hard picking one thing over the other here because it's all so good!

    Bulgogi fries
    Phi H.

    Definitely one of my go to places for quick fix of Korean fusion food. Their togo service is stellar. I've never had my food order wrong and precise with special instructions Love getting their loaded Bulgogi fries and Chasu-Don. Bulgogi has a char grilled flavor. Ingredients are fresh. Great flavor for both items.

    Although I ordered through Uber Eats, this was some of the freshest and best Ramen that I've had in a while! I'll definitely be visiting this location soon to sit in and eat since the delivery service was excellent And I've heard that it has a pretty chill atmosphere .

    a plate of food and a bowl of soup
    Mary C.

    Food was just okay. We had high expectations because of the reviews. The pork katsu was good, it was crunchy, and the portion is big. I would have wanted more of the curry sauce. It tasted good. And since there were 2 portions of the pork katsu, they should have provided more sauce. The shoyu soup did not taste as it should. It was definitely lacking flavor. Also, we were expecting Chasu pork with the ramen, but it came with grilled chicken, and chicken was tough. It is counter service. You place your order at the counter, then they deliver to your table.

    Bulgogi Bols Fries
    Lauren R.

    Picked up dinner from here and I couldn't have had a better first impression. We ordered the curry katsu, bulgogi fries, and bibimbap. The katsu and the bibimbap came with miso soup which definitely hit the spot! Not a lot of restaurants will pack the soup togo, but they did here. The curry katsu was flavorful and crispy, not too oily. The bulgogi fries were saucy and delicious. Try to eat them while they are still hot! The bibimbap was one of the better bibimbaps that I've had in a while. From the seaweed salad to the bulgogi, you can't go wrong with this dish. Definitely put sriracha on top. The place inside is small but I definitely suggest picking up if you don't want to worry about seating. It was fairly empty on a Thursday evening but who knows.

    Had this place twice and it's a solid spot when you're in a rush. Filling bowls with good flavors and good quality ingredients.

    Bulgogi bowl  with white rice, cucumbers, beansprouts, kimchi, and edamame (~$15).  Way more food than it looks like in the picture.

    I originally added this place to check out the Ramen but I've been on a bit of a build-your-own bowl kick recently and pivoted to try their Korean bbq bowl offering instead. I ended up choosing a Bulgogi bowl (~$15) with white rice, cucumbers, beansprouts, kimchi, and edamame. All the ingredients are super fresh, offers a hefty portion, and were well prepared. Bols is a noticeable step above most other places in the category. Service here was incredibly fast so this seems like a great spot if you need a quick lunch. It was busy during the lunch rush but they had quick turnover and no-one was ever really waiting for a seat though they mostly have 2 seat tables and a small counter area so it likely is better suited for eating with a friend or by yourself versus larger groups. I had a really great first experience at Bols and really want to go back to try their ramen as that seemed to be the most popular thing being ordered while I was there. I think it would be hard to be disappointed coming here so I'd highly recommend it.

    Ramen Belly - Abura ramen (no broth)

    Ramen Belly

    (18 reviews)

    Spacious & airy interior; back area can host big parties & patio seating available…read more Appetizers - summer salmon salad (good tongue twister) & karaage with choices of dipping sauce & either kale or taro chips with parmesan. The karaage really didn't need any sauce, tasted fine by itself. The taro chips were quite addictive, good for scooping the salad. Miso ramen broth was not too creamy; pork belly was a little bit on the leaner side. Abura ramen (brothless) is a nice option during hot weather - ginger garlic sauce gave the noodles good flavor since it's broth-less & the noodles weren't drenched; the tonkatsu had a nice crisp. Other sauce & protein options available as well. Will try other menu items next time!

Upon entering the restaurant, we were led to a kiosk to place our order before sitting down at a table. We ordered the potstickers, abura ramen (brothless), and ramen in a blanket (ramen sandwiched between two tonkatsus), plus they gave us an order of the short ribs on the house! To start, the potstickers were very good and I liked that the filling was braised pork as opposed to the traditional ground pork, but the short ribs were on the tougher side. Moving onto the ramens, I really enjoyed my abura ramen; the flavors were great and the house pickles were a refreshing touch! However, while the ramen in a blanket is a unique take, we wish there was some sort of dipping sauce on the side because the tonkatsus were a bit bland otherwise.

    We visited on a Monday evening with a party of 6. We called ahead and were told a table would be…read moreready, but when we arrived, the server still had to push tables together for us. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time, so it was no big deal, but worth noting. The service was actually the highlight of the night, and earned this review one additional star simply because of the effort involved. Else it would be a 3 star review. There was only one server running the entire front of house while the restaurant got progressively busier, and only two chefs in the kitchen. Despite being swamped, the server worked her tail off. She didn't mess up a single order for our large group and kept things moving. I greatly appreciated her hard work. Appetizers (5/5): The wait for food was noticeable due to the staffing, but the appetizers were worth it. We ordered the Edamame, Yatai Gyoza, Agedashi Tofu, and Takoyaki, and all of them were delicious. Entrees (3/5): Unfortunately, the main courses were a bit basic compared to the starters. The Tonkotsu Ramen was strictly average; I've definitely had better broth and noodles elsewhere. If you are looking for the top-tier quality izakaya, Mr. Max Izakaya in Irving is hands down better option. However, you have to wait an hour for a table there.

    Yatai is part of a large plaza filled with other restaurants, hot pots, grocers, and a Tai Kwondo…read moredojo. We had scouted it out online, looking for a ramen place near where we were staying in Plano. Unassuming on the front, the inside is an amazing atmosphere with a vibe straight from a Shinjuku street stall. The wait staff was polite, and very nice. The chef was working away inside the replica street stall. The food arrived quickly, and was delicious! So much flavor! Everything new was somehow even better than the dish we tried before it. So good, so tasty! If we come back for another visit, Yatai is now on our list of restaurants to eat at again!
