After eating all over the Outer Banks this week, Corolla Bowls was easily the standout. Honestly one of those places where after the first few bites you already know you'll be coming back again before vacation is over. The food was ridiculously fresh, packed with flavor, and the portions were actually satisfying instead of the overpriced tiny servings a lot of places around here try to get away with. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter was genuinely friendly, quick, attentive, and made us feel welcomed the entire time instead of rushed like most tourist spots. The whole place had a great atmosphere and felt clean and well run. If you're in Corolla and debating where to eat, skip the gimmicky tourist trap restaurants and come here instead. Easily our favorite meal in OBX. read more

Tried to get into a place across the street, and the wait was over an hour. Walked into this place and it was a quarter full. It eventually filled up, but clearly Thai food plays second fiddle at the beach. I started with tom yum soup which had tge flavor right, but not enough of the components. My pad thai had the flavor right and 4 pieces of shrimp was fair. There wasn't enough of the eggs, peanuts and onions.my hibachi chicken order got lost. We got it 15 minutes after everyone else was served. Bathroom was spotless. Service was excellent. Forget your pizza and subs, and get something more unusual and special. read more

The interior of the restaurant was very well designed and relaxing. We order the cashew chicken to go, and it was a plentiful serving with enough for leftover for the next day. Well cooked food and speedy service, flavor was solid 4/5 overall for this particular dish. read more

Place is very clean and food was good! Came in around 4:30pm and was sat right away. The only thing that would have gave them 5 stars. The veggie tempura was overcooked and cold. The General Tao's chicken was also cold and could have used more sauce but was still tasty. Overall I'd recommend! read more

We ordered to-go, and they called when they forgot something in order, which was really thoughtful. There are some gluten free items. Our group had the bimibop, hibachi, kids fried rice, and a gluten free rice bowl. The edamame was very large. We wouldn't get the crab ragoon again as it was sweeter than we like. read more

Friendly service, so quick....and very flavorful. The pad thai was a enough fir two, but hubs ate the whole thing. I enjoyed a spicy soup bowl, which was perfect for this cool Halloween afternoon read more

I visited about a week ago, and maybe I just ordered the wrong dish, but I'm surprised this restaurant has a 4.8-star rating. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The Pad Thai was expensive, yet it had almost no flavor. The noodles were soggy and seemed overcooked, which made the meal even less enjoyable. We also tried to visit the day before, but the restaurant closes from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM for a daily break. We came back at 4:15 PM, but no employees had returned yet, so we ended up leaving and trying again the following day. Overall, the service was pleasant, but the food and the inconvenience with the reopening time made this a disappointing experience. read more

Really good, clean food! This is a great spot for mixed diets, ages, abilities, and bodies. That sounds specific but our party included large-bodied people, older folks who are hard of hearing and looking for some healthier options, some adventurous foodie types, and VEGANS! The variety of this group makes it almost impossible to please everyone. Corolla Bowls is the answer to our dining problems! In addition to an inclusive menu, the restaurant is beautiful. The word "bowls" conjures up counter-service fast casual but the space is elegantly decorated and tasteful with full service/cloth napkins/attractive dishes, etc. Definitely date-worthy. I'll also add: the wait times at most restaurants in Timbuck Too get pretty out of hand during the summer. We were seated almost immediately every time we've come here. read more

We were here in off season and all looked quiet, but we went in here and got a fantastic meal regardless of everything else nearby being closed. The food was delicious, we ate from the lunch special menu. There was a bar for drinks and nice seating as well as nice decor and vibe. The food was served quickly and the gentleman serving us was friendly and helpful. read more

Fantastic everything. Looks like part of the gas station from the outside but DON'T LET THAT PUT YOU OFF. This place is lovely inside and we didn't know it was even here and we have lived across the street for a year. This will become our regular spot. Service was awesome. Our server AK was GREAT read more

I got a tofu poke bowl and it was excellent. The tofu was perfect, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the rice was amazing.

Food was absolutely delicious. Service was great but they were understaffed when we went so they weren't great with drinks (or making them at the bar). Also very cute inside! read more

Food was wonderful, very comfortable atmosphere and service through AK mg was extraordinary! So grateful! What a memorable experience. Wish I lived closer! read more

I have everything good to say about this place. The environment was clean/tidy and welcoming, our server AK was beyond generous and sweet; we loved talking with him. And most importantly, the food. Everything was fresh and obviously made in house. Genuinely the best Asian food I've ever had. I usually don't like any sauces, but I wanted to lick those bowls clean they were so good. My family and I 100% recommend this experience. read more

Excellent customer service. Got takeout here several times during my week long visit and received the same warm welcome every time. Drinks on the house while we waited. Food is delicious! Inside looks nice and clean, cool environment. read more

Everything was amazing! The food was excellent, every single dish. The service was more than perfect, very helpful and happy to help! I can't believe this place is not constantly packed, we were sat immediately and had a very short wait for our food. Please go here, they deserve it! read more

3 of us went for lunch. We got two spicy tuna Poke bowls and 1 chicken pad Thai. It was all delicious and we would go back. I wouldn't call it a cheap lunch but I am ok paying the price for quality ingredients and good food. I tried my husband's Poke and I got the pad Thai. They were both amazing. I will say often the spice on Poke bowls is some type of spicy sauce cut with mayo to make it creamy. This one was not, it was quite spicy which we don't mind but might not get the spicy version next time. Service was pretty good but we were one of maybe 2 groups dining in. Most of the traffic was take out. read more

AK and staff were amazing the last time we were here a couple months ago. Food was fresh drinks were even better. He introduced us to some local beer from breweries that were not even open yet. True hospitality and unwavering dedication to the township. Thanks again AK for an amazing experience. We will be back. read more

The food is amazing with so much flavor. The ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. The service is wonderful and the staff is so helpful with suggestions that complement the dishes. A real gem in Corolla we are lucky to have to have this place! read more

Surprisingly, there aren't many Asian food options that I could find in the Corolla area. Stumbled upon this place by accident while walking around Timbuk II. This was a welcomed change from pizza, burgers and BBQ. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl which was extremely good. Highly recommend giving this place a chance if you're out this way. read more

Very fresh, excellent service. My daughter and I ordered take out and sat outside by the stores at the picnic tables. She had Korean and I had Poke. Both were amazing! Too bad we don't live closer, this would be a regular stop. The ones taking our order and running the floor were so kind and carried on great conversation. Was here in Corolla for an annual vacation. Would like to stop back, but mostly encourage others. Oh, btw, mine was gluten free and I needed that for my intolerance. Great meals, great place! read more

What a terrific addition to places to eat in Corolla!!! The food has been amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful. And the portions were LARGE. What more could you ask for??? Oh yes and they offer party-size trays for those big gatherings. read more

If we could give 10 we would! 2 adults and 2 picky teens and we loved every dish we tried? All sauces made in house from scratch and everything was so fresh! Chai tea is authentic! AK front of house had top notch service! Reasonably priced and maybe under for the quality! read more

Eating here was an experience. I ordered crab ragoon but it had no crab so it was a cream cheese rangon. The service was horrible. First multiple tables were served before my party and when our server finally came, after we waved him down, he was rude. Then after waiting 20 minutes for our food, 2 people of our party of 8 got theirs. Then like a slow trickle from a leaking faucet, the other people in party started getting their food one. We were finally happy that our food arrived. But the problems continued, my vegan sister ordered vegan noodles but got fish noodles instead. Then I had to flag down a different server to get the check because our original one never came back to the table. It took another 5-10 minutes to get it. He took my sister card but forgot to run it. As we were walking out, he actually said see you again soon. But i doubt it... read more

What a great find! A nice change of pace to get Asian inspired bowls or fresh fish over rice. We had the hibachi steak bowl, kids fried chicken and the mahi bowl with lemon butter. All 3 meals did not disappoint! We will be back every time for a solid lunch spot! read more

I love Thai and eat it often and did not expect to find delish Thai in tiny Corolla. The folks who own this place are super nice and the food is yummy. They have a pretty nice vegan menu too!! read more

Ordered takeout when we got into town for vacation the first night. It met expectations. All our bowls were delicious. I only give 4 stars due to price however.... You're in Corolla so... It is what it is. Everything is more expensive. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch. We were greeted by a very personable man behind the counter who took our order. He came to our table a few times to ask how the food was. The chicken is ground chicken, which I though was very good. What you see on top is an egg. Very Asian. A little heat, but not too much. You could add more heat. We would return if we lived in the area. read more

Food was not bad. We ordered carry out after coming home from being out of town for a few days. We ordered the Salmon- good, and their world famous combination fajitas- well it was very soupy with sauce and only had 3 PCs of shrimp in the mix. C'mon at least give it a close to equal parts since we are paying a premium for the combo. read more
