Food: Everything here was delicious! The cheese wontons were an exciting take, they were very crispy and the cream cheese filling was delicious. The soup dumplings were also delicious, however they so turned stuck together, and then the soup bursted out, but the flavor was great. I had the beef ramen which I loved. I almost never drink the broth of ramens or phos but I drank all of it. The beef was cooked well and fell off the bone, the eggs I also enjoyed, but I wish they were served warm, not cold. Service: Excellent, the food came out quickly, and the waiters were very attentive. Atmosphere: I just thought this was a very cute place, from the lights to the size, I thought it was great. Overall: Yum!! I would easily eat here again and am excited to try other ramens or even their udons read more

Cold soup, main dish was warm and cold. Commented to waiter and asked to have warmed up to no response and a check! Read so many good reviews I wonder what happened, guess this time was a let down. I would not go back personally or recommend - overpriced - small portions - served out of temperature required by state laws - slow poor customer service. read more

I didn't know how magically healing ramen could be until I had the pleasure of TONKATSU RAMEN with self boiled bone broth, I switched the noodles, grilled pork, soft egg, beansprout, bok choy, onion, and black garlic. The creamy broth soothed my soul by distracting me from all of my worries by melting my mind with the absolutely delicious flavor. Crunchy bits, chewy yummy things, and soft decadence were all playing together in my bowl. The CHICKEN KARAAGE was cooked perfectly, I've never had more uniquely crisp and light and wonderful cream cheese wontons with tangy sweet sauce. Get the tea. read more

Bowl Izakaya - TONKATSU RAMEN self boiled bone broth, grilled pork, soft egg, beansprout, bok choy, onion, black garlic, and magic - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

A wonderful stop. Friendly. Nice selection. Ordered gyoza. I would say very ordinary. Not extraordinary. So now I await my soup.... HOKKAIDO BEEF RAMEN! Self boiled broth, steamed seasoned beef ribs and prime beef, *soft boiled egg ,bok choy, cooked radish, green onion, black garlic! The egg was not soft boiled. Disappointment was setting in until I tasted my first bite. I ordered medium spicy because I am used to spicy and figured I would play it safe. Oh boy. It was spicy. Needed to stir it more. Tried the meat. The best I have ever had. Flavored wonderfully. Cooked wonderfully. The soup was amazing. Really really enjoyed it. I will be back. Ordered tea. Came with the tea bag. Nothing to set the tea bag in etc. They did not ask if I wanted more hot water or anything. I bit disappointing. Was this the perfect experience?...no. Is there a lot that can be improved?...yes. However the food is good and worth exploring more. read more

I admit I didn't take as many pictures as usual--I was so hungry I ate most of my food before I thought of it! The food was lovely. No complaints about the food here--it's all delicious. I had several small plates. I had sesame balls, the Kobe beef buns, flying pork bao, and running gold bao. A note on the menu--it's not readily apparent what running gold bao are, but they're like custard buns, sort of, and they are delicious. They're not as savory as you might expect so we had one set for dinner and ordered them again for dessert. I also tried the ramen and the katsu and both were tasty. Service was slow but the restaurant was slammed so I wasn't surprised. They were friendly and all the food was hot and fresh though. My one complaint was the noise. The music was the same high pitched woman covering pop songs and it was very loud. (Not live) As someone who is prone to migraine this was really irritating. When the crowds drained out, we could also hear the volume on the tv near by, so it was irritating music mixed with wrestling. So there's a lot of ambient noise. I didn't have a chance to ask about it because we couldn't get the server's attention until we were about to leave, and then it wasn't worth asking. This restaurant is very new, though, so I'm sure they're still working things out. And the food is fantastic, so I'd definitely come back. read more

We love Bowl Izakaya! The ramen here is always amazing -- definitely one of our favorite spots for it. The appetizers are really good too, and the portions are big, lots of meat and noodles. The restaurant has a nice vibe and the service is always friendly. Highly recommend if you're craving great ramen in a relaxed spot! read more

Bowl Izakaya - Tonkotsu Ramen, spice level medium. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Me and my bf showed up to our reservation to try this restaurant out since it was our first time and we were not very happy with the service, first of all the lady who checked us out at 7:25pm on April 4th 2026 was really rude. We didn't even have her at first due to the guy being busy helping his kitchen staff and she skipped our table 3-4 times. Asking other tables if they needed water or if they wanted anything else to order but when I was needing water, she ignored us the whole time to where I had to drink out of my bf's cup the whole time, she looked at us when I was trying to call for help and she just walks away, the owner can even watch the cameras. We were never once rude to her and for her to be snappy about asking us if we needed to go boxes when my bf politely said yes she asked again twice saying "boxes or no" then she came back snappy again saying "here" just tossing the to go boxes at the table and at the end when we got our receipt she came back for it, trying to be nice so she can get a tip, which is not how it works, we won't be back here for a while due to the terrible service. We rather drive somewhere else to get better service. I even tried contacting them and I have gotten no response from them from this situation. I'm not sure cause we were the only Mexicans at the time and everyone else was white but the waitress seemed to be racist read more

Came here for lunch and we left satisfied! I got the miso ramen and my boyfriend got the chicken fried rice, which came with miso soup. Both dishes tasted fresh and had excellent flavor. I got mild spicy with my ramen and it was a lovely mild spice that added flavor to the dish! We will definitely be back. read more

I'm so happy Bowl Izakaya is now in Longmont. I've missed having reliable ramen near me. I ordered the takoyaki and Tonkatsu ramen. The takoyaki was very good. It had a nice amount of tasty Bonito flakes and what I assume was Kewpie mayo. The tonkatsu ramen broth was tasty. You choose your spice level (non, mild, medium, spicy). I ordered medium spice level, which was more than tolerable. I think full-on spicy would be delicious, too. I was worried about the egg as photos I saw online in advance showed inconsistent cooks and marinades. While my soft boiled egg's yolk was cooked well, the egg white didn't appear marinated like some others I'd seen. My bowl had three slices of chashu pork belly, which was cooked well. The noodles were ok, but a little overcooked for my preference. I'd like to one day see mushrooms included or available as an add-on. My friend had the garlic chicken ramen with fried chicken. It was her second time ordering this dish, so safe to say she enjoyed it. The takeout order I took home for my partner was a salmon bowl. It was a hearty & healthy bowl. He loved everything about it. It also came with miso soup. I can't wait to try it. Servers were very pleasant and attentive. Water glasses were never empty. They also helped me time a takeout order perfectly. As far as ambiance, it was comfortable. It didn't feel very different from the previous restaurant that was located here. One point, the tank at the entrance looked extremely murky. I'm no aquarium expert, but it didn't look healthy for the fish. As always, my expectations are based on location, so if you are a ramen aficionado or japanese cuisine lover, keep that in mind and be grateful this diverse option is in town. I'll be returning to try many more items from the menu. read more

This restaurant has been under my radar since its opening. But the price of eating out always makes me go back to the proven restaurants. I finally had a chance to visit this place. The restaurant was large, and the service was good. Before going to any "Japanese" restaurant, I examine the menu to determine its authenticity. I know localization is important for business, but I want to eat food that I grew up eating! The menu includes rather strange entries. Yakitori (焼き鳥）literally means "grilled chicken." And they are grilled on charcoals. So does the "Shrimp Yakitori" on the menu means "shrimp and chicken"? "Tofu Yakitori"... hmmm... I did not try those. I was not in the mood for ramen. So I got one of the bowls. Bowls are usually very big. But with the price of unagi don at $14, I did not expect the regular bowl size. But it was much much smaller than I had expected. I am 100% sure that they do not cook unagi here like almost all the restaurants in the US (not sure if there is even one in the US). Unagi is available in the US and is already grilled with sauce in a pack. It might be available as shirayaki, but if you serve unagi with the sauce anyway, who would purchase Shirayaki unless the price difference is significant? The plate was so small, with only 4-5 unagi sliced in small squares. Maybe using "don" is not the appropriate word. Miso soup lacks flavor. I understand that this is an izakaya, but the menu is small and lacks many seafood and vegetable tapas dishes. It might just be a ramen shop as many seem to love their ramen dishes. Another concern was that they could not serve regular yellow tail rolls when they had spicy yellow ones. Why?? My experience here was very limited. I have to say that the service was good. I may come back and try their ramen. read more

Amazing ramen and GREAT sushi for awesome prices. Can't wait to go back.

I've only been in for takeout, but every time we come, it's delicious! Great izakaya spot. They do have sushi, but izakaya is really where they shine on the menu! The decor is cute and works well with the theme of the restaurant. It hasn't been super crowded when we've been by, which is nice when you do want to sit down to eat! Staff are always friendly. Items are priced fairly. We'll be back! read more

Bowl Izakaya - Fried Udon with beef - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

+ Sesame Ball (6 pieces - bite sized) + Tonkatsu Ramen (spice level Mild) + Shrimp Tempura (3 pieces, comes with veggies) Just had a delicious and satisfying lunch from Bowl Izakaya in Longmont! I swung by during my Tuesday lunch hour, and let me tell you, it was worth every mile of the drive to the Village at the Peaks Plaza. I couldn't believe there weren't more reviews for this hidden gem! I decided to live dangerously and ordered online through their website, even though there was no visible menu until you clicked "proceed to order." But boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The Tonkatsu Ramen with a mild spice level was an absolute winner. The bone broth was bursting with flavor, and those soft white noodles were pure comfort in a bowl. The grilled pork was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, and that soft-boiled egg? Perfection. With fresh bean sprouts, bok choy, onions, and a touch of black garlic. It was so hearty that I will be saving the rest for dinner. The Shrimp Tempura! Despite it being on the appetizer menu, it was a lot! Sliced onions, bell peppers with crispy shrimp. Join this with rice and you've got an entree! I can't say enough good things about this place. If you're looking for a restaurant that'll leave you happily stuffed, Bowl Izakaya is the spot. Come hungry, and leave with a full belly. Link to order online: http://bowlizakayalongmont.com/ read more

Five star service. Probably the best flavors you will find for Japanese Izakaya in the area. Tofu Yakitori was on point. Definitely get Bao, spicy pork was phenomenal.

Been here once, Fathers Day treat for me :) ... will change to 5 stars if we have the same excellent experience next time. Food was excellent, we had 4 different rolls and 2 different ramen (pork and beef) - sushi rolls were good size and quantity for the price. - Ramen was excellent, broths were both very flavorful and the qty of mean and veg was good for the price too Service was fast, friendly, and attentive... of course, we were the first customers of the day, and only 2 other tables while we were there, sure that helped. Room for improvement... Sushi menu needs more rolls that were not just a variation of 'tempura shrimp' with XYZ. Lots of places do this as it is the "easy way" to have a lot of menu options but that ways is lame and boring. This place could get more creative, and should! read more

Sunday afternoon about a week after they opened and we've heard both but good things. The service was prompt and friendly. Our food came out all really close together and fresh with not much waiting. Great considering we also go a sushi roll. I love the ramen. They have good choices as base and you can add stuff in. I like extra noodles and will provo any order that way next time but the way it comes is great. For a fast service sit down experience the food was all great. Probably the best of its type for Longmont. The inside is clean and open with a full bar area as well as outdoor seating. We had a service animal with us and they offered outdoor seating before they noticed the vest which leads me to believe they are somewhat dog friendly. read more

A photo is worth a million words! This place was A-mazing, highly recommend. My kids both liked their meals (which never happens) and my husband and my ramen was to die for. We had the shrimp and pork bao too, which was a real treat for our tastebuds. The next time we go we're trying the sushi, but just didn't have room this time. Service was good, and our waitress was attentive. The restaurant was clean and bright, I believe it's in the old Next Door restaurant. Please check them out, it's worth your time. read more

Food was excellent, high quality and authentic flavors! Would love to return if ever in the area again.

I went here with my partner. We got 2 bowls of ramen and 1 regular basic roll and ended up paying so much!! Later I found out they include tip on the bill without letting you know. I'm not sure if I missed it on the menu and I still tipped extra without knowing, My fault for not asking. I will not be coming back here. It was a total rip off. And then it doesn't show anything on the receipt. It doesn't show the items you order, nothing. It just gives you your total. I'm 100% sure they overcharged me. read more

Absolutely fantastic food and service, cannot recommend this place enough! My wife and I Door Dashed from here a few nights ago and my miso ramen (spicy!) was sooo good I've been craving more. Today (New Year's) we went to a closer mexican restaurant for lunch, sat there for a while without any service, then had the hostess be rude on the way out. We drove across town to eat here instead, and I'm very happy we did. There was a single waitress seating and serving the entire dining room (at about half capacity), she was polite and attentive, and the food was delicious. Had some sake, calamari rings, kobe beef buns, the seafood ramen with spicy broth, and my wife got the tuna poke bowl. We left full, happy, and seen. Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience, we will absolutely come back again and again! read more

Great food! Tried a bunch of appetizers and the bao buns are fantastic. The ramen is where they really shine through though. We will certainly be back! read more

Food is excellent. Word of warning, the spicy range is stronger than normal, say you normally get a level 3 outta 5, I'd recommend level 2.

We've dined in and Door Dashed a few times and the food (and service) is fantastic! The seared tuna poke bowl is a go-to favorite, as is the tonkotsu ramen. read more

I came here to try the sushi. The sushi is only 3 stars for being off the mark. The rice wasn't quite right, the Loveland roll lacked flavor (somehow) and the wasabi is zero spicy. The prices were fair, service was decent, and the ambiance is nice & modern so I bumped up to 4 stars. I would like to come back and try other items on their menu aside from sushi. read more

Rolls only. No sashimi or nigiri. Ordered three rolls paid over $50. Got ginger and wasabi with only one roll. Cheap, that's the word. WiFi is poor too. Did they care? Nope the employees only observed (looked up) but continued to work on other things. Don't bother! read more

Usually a Japanese restaurant either does sushi or ramen well, but not both. Well, there's sometimes an exception to the rule; and this is it. The miso and tonkatsu ramens were flavorful, warm, and the right proportion while the Phoenix roll was tasty. A juicy crab soup dumpling (Xao long bao) made the perfect appetizer and had the right combination of dumpling shell & soup. I'm looking forward to trying the sashimi on the next visit. About the only detriment was the lack of a sushi & sashimi combination on the menu. read more
