Was on road somewhere @ the east Marietta underbelly taking care o work, and checked out The Bowl after seeing the many great reviews :) Place totally hit the spot; Relaxed Asian atmosphere and way smooth. Gots immediately greeted by the kindest owner/proprietor; she recommended multiple dishes fo takeout; went with their Original (poke) Bowl w Shrimp Tempura, spectacular. Came w the tastiest, light sauce on the side and freshest justsautéed juicy veggies & brown rice. The Bibimbap Stone Bowl also comes highly recommended by Allstar DanielB, & will likely gets the stir-fried shrimps on my return in couple months. read more

Their ramen is my favorite and they adjust your spice level from 0-10 so you can get it just right. 1st time I was here a friend ordered very spicy and was really too spicy despite their preference for extremely spicy foods. I also like very spicy and about 5-6 is just right. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this spot! read more

This food is so healthy and delicious. It tastes fresh and bold. Not like any Asian food I've had. There were freshly opened when we got there, but the customer service was amazing. read more

Clean overall, bathrooms are in great condition and the service is excellent and the food of course. I would come back again. read more

The Bowl - Excellent food and service - Japanese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Don't let the exterior dissuade you- well worth it. We just happened to stop in because of the reviews and very glad we did. Excellent food and generous serving size. If you want to have a cool dining experience get the stone bowl- I had it with rice and bulgogi and vegs. Great flavor. There was one young lady working the front and delivering orders to the tables. She was great and very personable. When we arrived we were the only ones in, but within 20 minutes there were at least a dozen people. I think we have found a hidden gem! read more

First off it smells SOOOO GOOD wen you walk in. The amazing aroma SLAPPED me in my face so I HAD to order something! The cashier asked if it was my first time and I said yes. He was extremely helpful breaking down the menu and his recommendation. I ordered the Ramen with spicy shrimp and shrimp eggrolls. The Ramen is huge so beware. It was good wit lots of flavor ( could've used more seasoning though) and the eggrolls were delicious! Will be returning soon especially during these cold rainy days. read more

Chicken and rice was dry, veggie was suggy and no flavor in any of the food. Overpriced. Go other place.

We found this place while we're traveling back home. Great authentic flavor and service was great! We had great mix of Japanese and Korean meals. We will stop by again when we are in the area for sure! If you live close by well lucky you! You must visit of you love Asian cuisine. read more

I only eat one particular dish there and I love it and I also love the lady that works there other than that. It's a great place.

I ordered the bibimbap with tofu and didn't really like it! The tofu had absolutely no flavor and I really couldn't stand to eat it. The rest of the dish was just ok. I think the prices are average, can get a bit pricy depending on the protein you add. I got takeout and I am glad I did becuase the inside looked very dim and also smelled like cleaning products. The staff at the front were really nice though and had our order ready pretty quickly, but I probably wouldn't be back. read more

We ordered Bibimbap, Dongatsu, and corn croquettes. The veggies in Bibjmbap were raw. They were supposed to be slightly cooked or seasoned, but just raw. Dongatsu was ok, but very small for the price. Corn croquettes weren't cooked well inside. The worker was sweet, but the owner wasn't. She didn't greet or acknowledge us. And the place was so dark and looked dirty. We regretted dining in there. We should've left when there was one car parked at 6pm on Saturday. Please go somewhere nice and save money. read more

This place is a great place to eat. They have tasty food. They have great service and a nice atmosphere.

First time visiting The Bowl, I made my own bowl full of fresh veggies and tofu. The spicy mayo sauce is spicy, be aware of that! It is a simple menu, not to many options. Flavor is good and the costumer service was pretty good. read more

Giving this place 4 stars because of the staff's friendliness and the place was kept clean and I love the kimonos hung on the wall. I haven't been here in a very long time and wasn't starving either, so I shared the hot stone bulgogi with brown rice with my sister. Her boyfriend got the ramen and spring rolls. The bulgogi had a nice flavor but wasn't expecting the serving to be very soupy. I didn't try the ramen personally but heard it was spicy (he ordered spicy level 7 out of 10). The spring rolls were nice and crispy and your typical spring rolls. This place definitely caters to the American palette. If you're looking for something more authentic, I say go to Buford Highway or elsewhere since this is not the place for that. read more

My fiance and I just moved to the area and this is the place we have frequented the most. It is kind of a hole in the wall, and it is SO good! The owner is there every time we have been, and she is always so kind and helpful and will explain the menu to us. Everything is so delicious and authentic, and we love to versatility of the menu. We love the ramen, fried ramen, bulgogi bibimbap, poke bowls, and the fried rice! We will continue to rave about this place and keep coming back! read more

A HIDDEN GEM!! wow first off I'm so shocked they're not super busy because this place is so good and friendly. I walked in not knowing what to get and the employee helped me decide and food came out fast. I love their ramen wow. I got their ramen with bulgogi with a 5 spicy which wasn't too spicy. It came out so fast. The ambiance inside is calm, perfect to cool down during my lunch break. They came to check on me to make sure everything was good while I was eating. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Unimpressed with dish they created today. In flavorful and rice undercooked, sauce s sticky mess. Food didn't look appetizing. I wouldn't order from here again. Sorry :( ambiance was uninspired. Feels like they didn't place much creativity or thought into making the place inviting. Needs a revamp everywhere. read more

I was visiting from Miami and wanted something different. The owner helped us and explained about the fermenting process for different foods and then helped us select our food. She also came around several times and made sure we were enjoying our experience. The other patrons all received the same friendly service. It's definitely no frills, and the ambiance was simple but pleasing. The options for food and drinks is excellent. We're definitely eating here again. read more

The food was phenomenal! They helped us order as it was our first time and the recommendations did not disappoint. The ambiance wasn't that great, lol but who cares... those are typically the restaurants with the best food. read more

Fast food quality and service. Restaurant price and wait. You only get tap water. The parking lot is surprisingly quiet, shows you how fake the reviews are. Go to your favorite fast food and save yourself money and mood. read more

This place never disappoints. The key dishes to order are to The Special Bulgogi Bowl that has a generous amount of Korean marinated sliced ribeye beef served in a delicious broth, The Stone Bibimbop Bowl with a side of Kalbi . The chef says they make the broth from brining shiitake mushrooms. Everything is MSG-free. Yummy! The traditional Hot Stone Bowl is also spot on, sizzling as it makes its way to your table and also stayed hot (not warm) throughout the meal. The side of kalbi is generous, and the price is a value. My son ordered the Japanese ramen which was so colorful, and the side of tonkatsu Panko fried pork was also a generous serving and delicious. These are the right dishes to start with if this is your first meal here. I'll venture onto the rest of the menu one day, but these are my family's go-to's! read more

so yummy! be prepared to order when you get to the counter lol. they don't have a lot of patience. but the food is soooo good

I got the bulgogi stone pot. I was expecting it to be more like bibimbap and it be mostly dry meat over rice but it was the opposite. It was basically a stew of bulgogi meat and veggies with a side of rice separate from the meat. That being said, I did find the food to be pretty tasty. The meat sauce was flavorful and a bit on the sweet side. The onions were good. Service was friendly. read more

Service was very friendly. Bathroom was clean. Parking is ample. I had the spicy chicken ramen. I love how you can choose your own spicy from 0-10 and they explain 5 is like Sriracha and 10 is like a ghost pepper. 5 for me! Chicken was yummy. The egg was hard boiled. I prefer soft boiled in ramen but this isn't a big deal. We also got a side of gyoza, which were fried. I didn't know they would be fried. My husband ordered them, so not sure if the menu said friend or not. Fried isn't my fav preparation. It wasn't the most flavorful broth of my life, but it was a solid bowl of soup. Overall, it was good and I'd be back to try more things. read more

I work in the area that this cool restaurant is located, but have only been 2 times. For shame. Huh? Yes. I did not know how good this was going to be until I decided to take a chance and go for it. The establishment is kind of small, but you cannot go by that. After walking in and looking around, I was impressed. It does have limited parking so do not be surprised that you may have to go a wee bit early. You order and can pick up your items and bingo bango in a short amount of time, our food was ready. If you do not know what to do or how to order, the woman behind the register/counter will help you out. Both times I was happy with my selections and need to go back tomorrow:) read more

Stopped in here for a late dinner on Thursday. It was quite tasty! When we walked in, the lady manning the register immediately noticed we were a little uncertain about the ordering protocol. She explained to us, very quickly and kindly, how the system worked -- start with a base bowl (ranging from ramen to bibimbap to poke), add your choice of protein, and enjoy! There were a few items on special, too, including bulgogi and chicken wings. My boyfriend ordered the bulgogi, spicy level 6 (from 1-10). I asked about the spicy chicken, and was told it was about a 2 on the spicy scale. I'm comfy up to a 4-5 (impressive, I know...lol), so that was fine for me; I went with the dolsot bibimbap with spicy chicken. We found the spicy levels to be dead-on correct, so that made us happy. The bulgogi beef was super tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed the crispy rice at the bottom of the hot stone bowl. There were a TON of fresh veggies, too, which were all delicious. I'd never had corn in my bibimbap before, but I liked it in this one. The spicy chicken tasted like smoked chicken, and it was so fall apart tender that it cut more easily than the egg on top! The service came by to check in and make sure we knew how to best enjoy our food (like stirring in the spicy red paste -- probably gochujang, though this one was a bit more savory than other gochujang I've had). My only complaint is the atmosphere. It was, unfortunately, super dark. The dining area was really large, and there were pretty much only two small Iamps turned on; no overhead lighting at all. It was really dim and hard to see and I'm not super clear on why that was the case. Still, the food was very tasty and the service lovely and so pleasant; I'd definitely return! read more
