the BOWL (더볼한식당)

Great atmosphere and very friendly service. It's nice seeing a restaurant finally land a place in this location as it's been vacant for a while. The food was very tasty, but all tasted a bit the same. Spice level is higher than surrounding similar foods. Would love to return.

This place is the cutest! They have really great authentic Korean food and all the servers there are really nice. The owner especially, is super sweet and welcoming. All the entrees come with banchan as well. I got the snow wings and soybean paste soup which were both delicious and incredibly filling. On a previous time I got the soondubu which was also very yummy. It’s at the old burger king, but still very cozy and definitely a restaurant you need to check out!

If you're looking for Korean in Bloomington this is your place! I stopped by here for dinner with some friends and let me tell you not only was the food extremely flavorful and unafraid of adding spice (something a lot of restaurants around here don't do), but the portions were huge for the price they were set at. I had my dinner for lunch the next day and it was still amazing! So two meals for the price of one! While it doesn't look super fancy what The Bowl lacks in ambiance...read full review
