Disappointed and Concerned
Kapow was a letdown. my wife and I were really excited about our first visit, but unfortunately, this was a major disappointment. My wife ordered the chicken fried rice, and it came with eggshells mixed in. I told the server, who was apologetic and had the kitchen remake the dish.

She ate some at the restaurant—took the rest home and gave it to her mother and brother. Sadly, later that night, all of us got food poisoning. This was definitely not the experience we were hoping for, and it makes me seriously question the kitchen’s food safety standards.

Heard raving reviews while looking for a unique place to have dinner during our visit. From the immediate experience the atmosphere of the inside was awesome. It was a great variety of even water choices, which we appreciated after a long day of shopping and exploring. Everything we had was great, I loved the variety of options to try that had traditional asian roots. Recommend a must try and lots of other things to see around here. Our service was awesome as we asked a lot of questions but no one was rude or took it as a bother. We did have to send back a burger for not being cooked the way we preferred but they quickly replaced it and our server ensured it was correct this time, they provided us a while new burger as well!

As a lover of Southeast Asian food, I was so excited to check out this spot. Located right on Clematis street, this is a great find in downtown West Palm.

I was specifically drawn to Kapow for its eccentric anime decor and unique dishes like the ones we tried. It had a fun, yet elevated vibe that absolutely lived up to the hype. However, while we were sat in a spacious round booth, we noticed the lighting above us and other tables was very bright. Our row had spotlight-like lamps, while other tables across from us had cozy mood lighting. I think some consistency in this area would give everyone the same experience. In addition, I would have loved some music in the background. Overall, the atmosphere was set perfectly with some minor changes that would have made it a 5/5.

The food, on the other hand, was absolutely amazing. We started out with the Char Sui Pork Belly Bao Bun ($7) and Kaarage Japanese Chicken Bun ($7). Both were paired perfectly with garnishes like pickled veggies, shiso, and their own unique flavors. The bao buns themselves were soft and steamed to perfection. My fiancé had the Chicken Pad Thai ($26) which featured bánh phở noodles, tamarind, lime, coriander, bean sprouts, egg, peanut. This dish was a perfectly executed classic. I had the Bbq Duck & Ginger Fried Rice ($26) which consisted of urgielewicz farms duck, five-vegetables, hoisin glaze, and egg. If there is anything you try on this menu, it has to be this dish. It’s a generous portion of sweet and salty flavors that marry perfectly with the duck and rice. I was blown away by this dish and have been dreaming of it ever since.

Second to the incredible food, they had very kind and attentive staff. The service was fantastic and we felt so taken care of the whole dinner. Our waiter was more than happy to explain their menu and answer any questions we had. We were also shocked by how quick our food came out, making our dinner less than an hour from start to finish.

Kapow is a hidden gem and I can’t wait to return! 💥

This spot served up some of the best fusion food I’ve had in a while. We ordered a mix of dishes and loved every single one, everything was presented beautifully. The ambiance was chill and made the meal even more enjoyable. The restroom did need some attention, though, it wasn’t the cleanest. Still, the flavors and creativity in the food won us over. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re around!

The new ramen recipe is not a favorite, I didn’t enjoy it. It was tasteless and the meat doesn’t do a good combination in the dish. I would suggest bringing back the old Ramen, it was so much better

Prices are ridiculous. Small portion of a Crab Rangoon appetizer $21… do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Girls night was a huge success thanks to our server Kevin. He was such a delight to have and made the night even more memorable. He recommended new food and drinks for us to try that all hit the spot. We camped out a bit but for a quiet Wednesday night he didn’t even mind. Would definitely visit again!

Parking: Really nice garage right next to the restaurant reasonable rates, it was $5 for 6 hrs on weeknight

Went there for the first time, waiter had the worst attitude when I asked a question, then he asked about drinks, wife said what she wanted and the server walked away while I was trying to tell him what I wanted to drink. Didn't get to try the food but clearly the service is absolutely the worst
