    Teppanyaki Bowl with Shrimp
    Krystal B.

    I got the Teppanyaki bowl at the recommendation of a friend who is from the area. It was delightful! The service was quick and also very polite. I did not wait long. The restaurant does have some seating, but it is very quaint. Happy Bowl was a great lunch time decision!

    A great ramen place in Sumter? Pinch me because I must be dreaming!!! I never thought I would be able to get delicious ramen within Sumter but Happy Bowl proved me wrong. My husband and I ate here last night and loved it. We both ordered pork ramen and a side of kimchi. He was extra hungry and also ordered the wings combo that comes with 5 wings and your choice of fried rice. The ramen broth was a rich pork broth that was flavorful and not overly salty. I was truly impressed with the amount of pork that comes in the ramen and how tender it was. I have never received that large of portion of meat in ramen before and believe me, I wasn't complaining! Come here for a tasty bowl of ramen that will leave you full and happy.

    My friend and I each got a ramen noodle bowl, her beef and mine chicken. It was amazing!! I've never had anything so yummy, I've been wanting another since I left. The bowl has, your choice of meat, spinach, noodles, bean sprouts, seaweed, boiled eggs and a delicious broth. Perfect comfort food for these cold days! I'll be going again soon and will remember to take pics next time as well. Update: Sorry for the ugly photo, this dish is so much prettier when you stay to eat rather than get it to go. I wanted to eat at home tonight. The ramen is still just as good though! I was a little disappointed in the spring rolls. I asked for vegetarian spring rolls and they had meat in them. I didn't know if it was pork or chicken so I just threw them away as I don't eat pork. It won't stop me from going there, I'll just check my bag before I go. Now to eat this yummy ramen!!

    We visit this area often because of family. My son suggested we try Happy Bowl because my girlfriend had a tooth pulled and solid food is out of the question. She had the vegetable ramen bowl. She ate the entire bowl. I had fried chicken wings with chicken fried rice. Very tasty. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and the place is very clean. We will be dropping by on our next visit

    Spicy pork ramen it was so full of flavor

    I was so excited to try this place and I don't regret it we had the ramen and sesame chicken they were both so full of flavor and not overly seasoned the ramen was so satisfying and not overcooked I fully recommend it altho it is small it is worth the trip we will definitely come back again

    Beef Ramen Noodle Soup

    Went there to visit today. My friends meet our other friend who lived in Sumter and she recommended to try this place. Of course, we won't say no especially when the owner is our kababayan (always support kababayan's business) heheh! Anyways, we tried the beef ramen noodles soup and that was so delicious! I ate it all! Then, I had to go stir fry noodles for our dinner tonight !If this place is not too far from us, surely be always there like everyday! I'm a soup lover! Surely recommend this place!

    AC not working well and fume Hood not pulling out the fumes. Food is delicious, but fix the AC. We had the ramen bowl and it was fantastic.

    The server was nice and caring no complaints about her at all. But I had ordered a meal under the…read morepasta menu but it didn't come with NOODLES. I understand i should've looked more thoroughly but if it's a PASTA dish how it not come with noodles. The steak my girlfriend ordered medium rare came out chewy and it seemed like it wasnt cooked thoughtfully for a paying customer. Kinda just threw it on the grill flipped it and took it off, no love.

    It's getting late at night. I have a goal. Options are getting slim as I look around. Well let…read moreme try this and see what happens. Hard no. Well maybe I will have better luck with this option. Oh, sorry not tonight. Well let me try over here. Not my first, second, or even third choice but it will do and looks like a solid yes. Excuse me but I am curious are you about to get out of here? No, we are open. The answer given begrudgingly was like we are open but the expression is why are you here we trying to close early. Finally, I found a place that is still open even though it is Applebee's. Hey, the very last option is Waffle House and getting my food through a bullet resistant window. I mean come on you get desperate but not that desperate. So I have not been to an Applebee's in a very long time. I was thinking on a Friday night restaurants should be open until 11/12 PM. Oh I was proven so wrong as my first stop was another casual downing place we will call Silis that rejected me due to it being 1001 so pickings were slim. The last time I did go was because I somehow had a gift card for them. Also it was when they had those $1 drinks. You know it is bad when you sigh as you know what you are about to encounter ranging from customer service, food quality, and cleanliness. Once I was finally noticed at the bar the female came over to ask about a drink. So, I went with a LIT and she handed me a menu that was just wet. I looked over and I still think why did I spend the time on this menu and just went with the riblets to go. The LIT was ok. It was good but did not taste like a LIT. If you want it just for the liquor then you good to go but I do like flavor in my drinks. If someone was to give it to you I am sure you would not guess it was a LIT but it was still pretty ok. Now the secret is to know the bartender. Two of her friends came in and after seeing their drinks made I was like how are they going to drive. Then the drink had a sidecar of tequila to go with the copious amounts of tequila already poured in it. The riblets were ok just like the drink. Good thing is that I was given a good amount and the bbq sauce was a savior. Here is the issue. I get firing up the ribs to get a slight char before serving but the char was very uneven. It was on some of the ribs but not the others. Coleslaw was pretty good and the fries were nothing to write to Yelp about. Still I am here writing about it. What you see and the conversations of the employees here are something to listen to. You have no choice as loud as they are talking. Across from me was a long line of used cocktail glasses that trust me was not just put there. I hear some of the employees talking about how few glasses they have to serve at times and why are there so many cocktail glasses piling up tonight. In my mind the time you spent talking someone could have easily removed them all from the counter. Hey if you got time to lean you got time to clean. Especially behind that bar area. Not a very inviting thing to see especially if it happens to be a customer 's first time in this place. This is one of those situations where I am sure Applebee's knows they are one of the few selections so what's the point of doing better or turning the needle a little bit up on the give a damn meter.
