Bow lab is one of my favorite spots to pick up food after running my errands. It's small but cute and clean space. The food is always fresh and so many options to choose from. I'm loving the Soul of Seoul (tuna and salmon bowl) right now but Hotlanta is one of my favorites. Easy parking and free. Oh and staff are nice. They are very helpful if you're having trouble selecting a meal.

THE BEST place for a poke bowl, they do not play with their toppings and the portion sizes are the best I've had in Atlanta! It tastes amazing and the service is great.

Confession time: I don't like poke bowls. If you're like me, the word 'poke' makes you think of raw fish, and perhaps the thought of raw fish evokes some queasy feelings. I get it; I'm right there with you. But I hope you won't let that keep you from trying Bowl Lab. Non-fish eaters will be happy to find out they've added gyudon beef, tofu, cooked shrimp, and chicken to the menu of protein offerings. Besides proteins, there's a lot of other customizations available, from the rice/salad base, to the mix-ins and sauces. My compunctions with my meals here have been few but notable. First, there seems to be a limit to the number of crunch toppings (e.g. onion crisps, fried garlic, rice puffs, furikake, etc.) that you can add atop your bowl. I'm a big fan of contrasting textures in my meal, so I've often wished I could add more than the maximum of two tiny spoonfuls. My other drawback is sheerly a me-opinion. There's plenty of sauces available, but I've yet to find one that hits just right for me. Some are muted, others are overpowering. My personal favorite is a spicy mayo, which most poke bowl joints seem to have, but Bowl Lab is surprisingly without. Since the sauce comprises such a significant part of the meal's resulting flavor, I've sometimes brought my own Sriracha mayo to the restaurant to ensure I'll have a happy meal. All that said, everything is always incredibly fresh. There's never any fishy smell - in the restaurant or in our bowl - and we often leave feeling satisfied with the serving size. Service here has always been quick, efficient, and polite. There's a limited number of tables and stool seating against the windows, but it's often pretty quiet in here and we've never struggled to find seats.

Bowl Lab is my favorite poke spot in the area! It is located in Vinings, next to Cafe Comma. It is really nice inside, and they have a good amount of seating. I appreciate that there is a free parking deck, as well as a few short term spots out front. The first time I went, I wasn't sure what to get, and the staff was really helpful to help me decide. I got the sunny salmon bowl, which is so tasty and definitely my favorite! I love the pineapple in that one, as well as the crab salad and shrimp that are added to it! You can also build your own bowl, which is always fun. The ingredients are always fresh. The pricing is good. A regular bowl is $10.85, a large is $12.95, and and x-large is $14.95. Definitely check it out if you haven't been!

First time trying a Poke bowl establishment and I am in love! I was looking for something semi healthy yet filling for opt and decided to try somewhere outside my normal "greens and grains" type joint. Upon walking in, I see that this is a very popular place as the staff cranked out numerous in person and online orders. Despite being busy, the staff answered any questions I had as a poke newbie and helped me create a delicious bowl

I absolutely love this place! I come here about twice a month! The bowl is very delicious and filling!

What comes on the Ninja nachos and Gyu nachos?

NinJa Nacho : Nacho chips topped with spicy tuna, green onion, cilantro, sweet corn, kimchi plum aioli and furikake.… 

Is the fish always raw? My husband would prefer his cooked. Is the beef and chicken cooked?

Did you really just ask if the chicken is cooked? ?

When does it open? Is there a date? Thanks! Finally a place nearby to get my poke bowl!

They're open.

Hands down, this is STILL the greatest Korean and Poke fusion spot in ATL proper in my opinion…read more What a gem for this area. The service is friendly and genuine -- you can tell these folks like what they do. And you can taste it in the food. There are Koreans in the kitchen and that is also deliciously obvious!!! These bowls are just so chonky... you really get your money's worth. Now I've ordered from here many times without issue, but they happened to forget one of our proteins in both poke bowls on my most recent visit. Thank God we decided to sit in on their quaint patio as the evening was beautiful, and luckily we caught the mistake. But there truly wasn't an issue at all -- the nice lady working the front was so embarrassed about it and made sure to DOUBLE the already huge portion. Wowieeee it was sooo good. I had the other half left for the inevitable future attack of munchies. I also had the tteokbokki and Thai Tea. I wish we ordered more of the rice cakes; they were INHALED. Great appetizer portion for two. It was just the right balance of sticky, sweet, spicy, and savory on the most deliciously plump morsels. I also enjoyed the Thai tea although it was clearly made with a powder -- I asked for the least amount of sweetness and they delivered though! You can choose almond milk for no extra charge too. The boba wasn't spectacular but at least it was built into the price. The location can be a bit difficult to get to. It's in between Mellow Mushroom and Starbucks in the infamously packed Trader Joe's plaza across from Piedmont (and adjacent to the beltline). We happened to visit during the Shaky Knees festival. Didn't stop me from fighting for a parking space at all though... it's too good to not put up that fight! Obsessed.

Delicious, local Korean casual restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. I ordered the…read morespicy chicken bowl with brown rice and gochujang sauce and it was tasty. The stir-fry vegetables were warm and there was a large portion amount of protein. That's what differentiates it from the bibimbap. The staff member at the front was very kind, greeted me when I came in and the food was prepared in less than 10 minutes. The $20 for a single bowl caught me off guard for a casual restaurant, thinking about competitors like Gusto, and Cava. Enjoy!
