I ordered DoorDash from Bowl Izakaya one night and was honestly so impressed! Everything arrived beautifully packaged, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I was also really impressed by the huge variety of options on the menu. I ordered the Mango Tango Roll, and it was absolutely extraordinary! The flavors were amazing, and everything was made to perfection. I also tried the tempura sweet potato cakes, which were delicious and definitely worth trying. And the sauce they come with is to die for!! I enjoyed it so much that I'm ordering from Bowl Izakaya again tonight for my husband and me for our movie date night! That says a lot because I don't usually find a restaurant I love enough to immediately want to order from again. Bowl Izakaya has officially earned two repeat customers. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

As the Japanese, I've found only a few good, authentic Japanese restaurants in the Boulder/Longmont area. But that probably isn't important to many people. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Service was good. How could a bowl of ramen be so bad? So I ordered a bowl and karaage. The karaage was very greasy, and one piece had a lump of something attached (karaage batter? chicken fat?). As for the ramen, 3 large slices of chashu were very good. But the ramen noodles were terribly overcooked - too mushy. That was very disappointing. Service and chashu got one star each! read more

Greeted and seated promptly. The Tonkotsu Ramen was pretty good. Nice pork slices and perfectly cooked egg. The thin noodles were nicely done, as well. Service was super-friendly and attentive. My daughter, a middle school teacher, noticed the music playing seemed inappropriate for children. TBH, I didn't notice, as it was background noise to me, but she noticed right away. Ample parking. read more

Best Asian food I found in Longmont during my recent week long work trip! My salmon sashimi was so delicious and my ramen soup was so large, I had to take half of it home. Service was excellent and the Ambience was cute and inviting. I would gladly come back here when I'm in town. read more

Food is pretty good, especially the apps, definitely try the bao. Andrew was a delight!

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

The crab Rangoons are amazing here! Everything we have gotten here has been so good! Very impressed!

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

Super accommodating and super tasty. First off they run an all you can eat buffet for pretty much their whole menu, for like $32.00 person and have good price on drinks as well (have been here before but not since they implemented this). My family and I went in for my daughter's birthday dinner. I had read about the all you can eat on-line, but was unaware of the rules (more presence/information on-line would help and their website didn't have the menu). They ask that everyone at the table order the all you can eat, my wife however has a shell fish allergy and just wanted a noodle dish. They accommodated that. Next, they also inform you that if you don't finish you will be charged per left over piece and not able to take any home. Well our eyes were bigger than our stomach and we ended up ordering way too much sushi and while we did get charged a fee (less than what we didn't eat) they did let us take home the left overs. My kids and I felt guilty and embarrassed for ordering as food much as we did and the potential thought of it going to waste. They could have strictly adhered to their policy, but they were super accommodating to not to. We've really enjoyed going there over the years and they have lots of good meals/dishes on the menu. We'll be back and next time if we order the all you can eat special we'll be more sensible about what we order. Thank you for being so accommodating. 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

Informal setting. The waiter is always hurry, rushing. Hot sake was decent. The fried calamari was edible with minimal bland sauce. The sushi way overpriced, mackerel had strong tastes. The snapper was not soft, salmon was ok. read more

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

One of the worst restaurants I have ever been to--I have no idea how they are reviewed so highly. The meat is not fresh at all and they use copious amounts of seasonings and sauces to mask the stale taste of the meat. Everyone in our party hated the food and felt queasy afterwards, including the person who is an avid ramen enthusiast. 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

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

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

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 - Spicy pork bao - 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

Bowl Izakaya - Strawberry nigori and sex on the beach - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

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

Bowl Izakaya - Kids Chicken Ramen - 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

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

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

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.
