Rice bowl was great but the ramen broth wasn't hot and they gave us the wrong broth.

Visiting from Texas, this was unfortunately our very first experience in Boulder, CO and it was incredibly disappointing.
The man who appeared to be the owner seemed completely uninterested in helping. After standing there waiting to be acknowledged, he finally looked at me, threw his arms open in visible annoyance, and said, “Are you going to order?” The tone alone was unnecessarily hostile.
I asked for the seared tuna bowl and politely requested to substitute the tuna for braised pork. Instead of clarifying, he responded in a degrading tone, “What do you mean?” I explained again, and he curtly replied, “We have a braised pork bowl,” as if that answered the question.
When I mentioned the braised pork bowl contains an allergen for me, he said, “It comes on the side,” with no explanation and the same irritated attitude, as though I was expected to already know the ins and outs of their menu.
There was no attempt at hospitality, no effort to accommodate, and frankly no basic courtesy. Because of the miserable attitude from the cashier or owner, we left immediately.
First impressions matter. Unfortunately, this one guaranteed we will not be back.

Tried the tan tan ramen (with added black mushroom oil), kare ramen, addictive cabbage salad, and the mochi ice cream.
Tan tan was delicious, creamy and strong yuzu taste. The kare could have had some creaminess to it. The broth was spicy curry but very thin. The cabbage salad really was addictive!

Very sad presentation and quality for the pork belly bowl. The rice at Magic Wok tastes better than the rice presented. My partner and I took one bite and threw it out. Better quality products and attention to detail would move the needle a long way.

The ramen has very flavorful broth as well as by far the best braised pork I’ve ever had. With that I got the yuzu cheesecake which has a very charming combination of the tart yuzu and sweet mango sauce.

The food was okay, but the service really ruined the experience. The staff seemed uninterested and acted like serving customers was a burden. If that’s how they feel, perhaps they should consider a different line of work.
Best service all day. Peko peko has the most unique sushi hand rolls. Delicious 😋. Service was top of the line. Fast and fresh. Will return no doubt!!

We got the spicy tuna hand rolls and the braised pork belly rice bowl. Both were very flavorful and the food came out quickly!

Please change the pork bowl recipe. Flavor was so wrong and I had a hard time eating it. I was coming off a 10 mile hike so anything should’ve tasted good but this didn’t.

Too salty, broth was not fragrant, egg was too runny.
