    Tonkotsu Black - A bowl of ramen featuring sliced pork, soft-boiled eggs, seaweed, green onions, and narutomaki fish cake in a rich broth.

    Hidden Gem. Food was delicious and the broth didn't taste premade. Eggs and add ons to the ramen tasted fresh and weren't soggy.

    A bowl of ramen with noodles, vegetables, and broth is on a wooden table, with chopsticks resting on the bowl. A bamboo steamer with steamed dumplings and small containers of dipping sauces are also present.

    Don't be fooled by the lackluster exterior. Clean and modern inside. Food comes out fast and is hot and delicious. Tonkotsu Black and Juicy Pork Dumplings for me on this trip. Both were excellent. Not sure how I didn't know about this place sooner. Highly recommend!

    Shrimp ramen - A bowl of ramen featuring an egg, narutomaki, chopped green onions, corn, seaweed, and noodles in broth, with a spoon resting inside.

    I'm not a hardcore ramen connoisseur, but have had it in larger cities (Indianapolis and San Francisco), and this was pretty dang good in comparison. I had the shrimp ramen and loved the broth, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly as well as the egg. Will definitely be back to try other ramens as well as their plates. The crab Rangoon had sooo much filling, too, it was perfect. I was able to bring my baby in her stroller and there was plenty of space for her, the seating is really nice and accommodating. Plenty of tables along the right wall and a few booths on the left. The greeter was very friendly and explained everything to us, giving us menus (you can get them by the door) and letting us know we go to the register to pay. Oh and I loved the jasmine green milk tea with boba!! It wasn't popping boba like I've always had, it was solid honey boba. Can't wait to try more drinks, too. They have soy and oat milk substitutes for those with dietary needs also. :)

    Thai Boba Tea

    This was the cutest place ever. Very comfy and aesthetic inside. The service was also very nice and explained questions I had. The thai milk tea was so bomb. Like it was so yummy and the boba was probably the best boba i've ever eaten. Usually ramen has some type of sesame or nut oil or stuff in it but a lot of their menu was nut-free which was great. The ramen was SO good. I was slurping it up.

    Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen - A bowl of vegan ramen with green noodles, tofu, and vegetables, topped with sesame seeds and fried shallots, served on a wooden table.

    Bowl plus is such a cute spot and amazing carry out option! I have had such a touch time finding vegan options in town but I have l found the absolute best vegan ramen in town at this spot. I order the spicy creamy vegan ramen. My husband, myself and two year old (she loves the noodles and mixed greens) are definitely able to split one order so cost per serving is insanely good and we all feel full and totally satisfied after the meal too! The employees are so wonderful and fast. Go here!

    Tonkotsu Black - A bowl of ramen featuring slices of pork, corn, green onions, black fungus, bean sprouts, and narutomaki fish cake slices in a broth.

    Bowl Plus has THE BEST ramen noodle my husband and I have ever had! We love it so much that we haven't yet tried anything else on the menu! Their service is always great, kind, and inviting. The atmosphere is cool and relaxing, which is great for a bowl of HOT ramen!

    Spicy vegan - Two bowls of ramen with various toppings, including greens, fried tofu, and a soft-boiled egg, are placed on a wooden table in a restaurant setting.

    What a great meal I had here. I got the spicy vegan and added black truffle garlic oil. I've gotten this dish at least three times now and somehow keep finding myself returning to this destination. They are fast friendly, and always adhere to my special recommendations if you like, Rahman, and, awesome tofu I definitely suggest this dish. It is a little spicy well quite a bit spicy, but you can always ask for it to be a little less spicy. Thanks again for bringing such a special gem to Springfield.

    Tonkotsu Shoyu - A bowl of ramen featuring sliced pork, half a boiled egg, green onions, seaweed, and black fungus in a creamy broth, with noodles visible beneath.

    Great Ramen! Good people! I've been on the hunt for some good ramen ever since my favorite place in Champaign Urbana changed owners. Bowl plus serves delicious handcrafted ramen and their milk tea is a great dessert! The Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen is by far my favorite so far! The broth is very rich and flavorful, the noodles and soft yet chewy, their chashu pork is so tender and well seasoned. This is the greatest ramen in central Illinois! Bowl plus also brings a clean and friendly atmosphere to their restaurant!

    First off, the taste levels this place cranks out are quite impressive in seemingly everything they…read moredo from the egg rolls, to the rice and poke bowls, to the gourmet sammiches that they tackle - like fried/buffalo/Nashville chicken, takes on bahn mi and even Cajun and catfish! That said I've now tried three different and creative takes on ramen here and have liked each one more than the last - making it the real star of the show here. First it was the Chicago-style Italian beef with giardineira, then the spicy beef birria style, then my surprise fave, the Mega City bowl with chicken curry, peanuts and 3 potsticker dumplings on top! The service is fast and efficient in a venue (the back half of the VFW) that clearly lacks ambiance. The prices are admittedly a bit steep (except for domestics at the back bar) but you will be blown away by the flavors and you certainly won't walk away hungry. My only other advice....try not to ruin the shirt you have on when you go, in fact you might care to bring or fashion a bib, cuz most of these flavors will leave permanent stains!

The food came out fast and hot, there was ample seating and parking, and really it's all about the food! The ambiance is a little... stale, but the food more than makes up for it! I also didn't love the music they had going, but I still won't lower my five-star rating! Ha!

But that being said there were a lot of GREAT things about this restaurant so I'll start there. The restaurant itself it's so moody and vibey I LOVED it, was such a good place for a date night, our waiter was so attentive, helped with all of our questions and a very patient with us as we worked through the menu. 10/10 service! We got the dumpling and pork bun appetizer and both were AMAZING, seriously the pork bun?? I could have eaten 1000 of them. Next was the sushi, I got the Atlantic hand roll and another member of the table got the rainbow roll, both were very fresh and flavorful, highly recommend. Next was the entree, I got the pork belly ramen, as a huge ramen fanatic I was SO excited, especially following up our appetizers, the bar was set high and unfortunately I was so disappointed. The broth was not very good and everything so extremely salty, I couldn't even eat the mushrooms in the bowl because they soaked up so much of the broth and it was like a salt bomb in my mouth. The pork belly was cooked well and I did really enjoy that, but for a $20 bowl of ramen, it really fell flat for me. I also got the sweet heat cocktail, and it also wasn't for me, cocktails are so personal so it's not that I wouldn't recommend someone try it, it's just that I didn't hit for me, and that was the general consensus of the table. While I had a great night, I would probably try a different restaurant for Asian food before I came back to this one!

I had checked out the menu before going and knew I wanted to pick three different tacos to try and was able to do that with their undecided option. I went fried fish, Korean BBQ steak, and roasted cauliflower. I also wanted to try their street corn. Taco one: Fried fish with chipotle remoulade, pickled red cabbage, avocado. I took one of the pieces of fish off and one of the tortillas to save for later and it was perfect with a crispy fried fish, delicious pickled cabbage (I love pickled veggies!!) and the sauce. I asked for extra pickled veggies and remoulade to go to be able to dress up my leftovers with all of those amazing flavors! Taco two: Korean BBQ Steak, pickled cabbage salsa, Asian pear, and cilantro. Perfection! The steak was tender and flavorful. I've only had Asian pears in sushi rolls and it was the perfect crunch and burst of freshness on this taco. Taco three: Roasted Cauliflower. Curried cauliflower, black beans, seasonal pickled veggies, spicy tomatillo salsa, and cilantro. I'm a fan of all the different ways cauliflower is being served these days and this taco did not disappoint. The side of street corn was also delicious. I used their house hot sauce on a few bites too and that was really good. I must go now and eat my leftovers as writing this review has me salivating for more. PS I've already picked out the next three tacos I want to get!!! :-)
