Wow BoWa! This was a very pleasant surprise. The salads were tasty - dressings outstanding: diner carrot or tahini depending on your preferences. The Thai Chicken was spot on Dee-licious! Friendly staff, superb atmosphere for our late lunch. We will be back.
Had the Korean chicken dish and bibimbap and both were very tasty!
My daughter and wife thought that the food was delicious but for me it was just OK. It might be just me because everyone else seems to rate it with 5 stars. I had the power salad with lemon tahini dressing. When I think of dressing I think of liquid rather than paste. I could also not really taste the lemon in the dressing. Everything was healthy incl the dressing, but I was missing the flavor. I give it 4 stars because it’s one of the few places with vegan options and a friendly staff and the fact that both my daughter and wife loved it.
I feel like the website menu is a bit misleading as a lot more bowls were listed as they could be made vegan, but when I asked the employee said they wouldn't be as good vegan because too many of the ingredients would have to be taken out (Mexican bowl, for example). The curry one has fish sauce which can't be taken out. They could definitely do more to have swap ingredients for vegans (cashew crème instead of sour cream for example) to make the bowls just as good veganized. The employee did point out a couple bowls that were good vegan and I got those. Camden really isn't vegan friendly in general so I guess I'll take what I can get! I would say this place in general is more vegetarian friendly than vegan friendly though.
Power salad with carrot ginger dressing were excellent!
I am going to call it. This was the worst lunch of my life. Despite having no business they took 25 minutes to prepare two of the most ridiculous dishes I can imagine. I think my “Korean fried chicken” was basically sickly sweet general tsao’s on cold sad potato salad. The tuna in the salad we ordered was from some canned sub brand doubtless sold at discount stores for half the price of chicken of the sea.
Was very tasty and well crafted. Beat the rush.
never had cold falafel at restaurant before. i wouldn't recommend. cold rice with general tso chicken. disappointed
My wife and I enjoyed coming here during the summer. We walked in today and waited for about 5 mins while hearing 5 cooks/servers chatting in kitchen. So I knocked on the wall and said "hi I was hoping you guys could help us". A blonde lady looked at me with visible displease and with disgust in her voice said "I will be right there with you"..she then proceed to continue talking about her vacation plans etc with the other 5 cooks/servers in the kitchen. At the point we just walked away and went to Blaze.
Love love love this place! Have only gone a few times, because I live 30 mins away but I made all three trips to camden just to try new things from them ? everything so far has been amazing. Boba is really good, food is beautiful and fresh, and the people at the front counter are very accommodating. I'm thankful for the feature of ordering online. I'll continue to support this business and have reccomended it to a lot of people. If you're in the mood for something healthier, or inspired by Asian and Mediterranean flavors, absolutely try BOWA out.

The people working here are absolutely lovely. Yes, the food is very fresh and healthy. The Mediterranean salad is the best thing I've had but when I went back to try the Ramen, it was a major disappointment. I make it much better at home. It was like "correct" but so uninspired. Pretty good broth, a few basil leaves some sprouts some boring tofu. No other vegetables, no kick. There was nothing absolutely nothing delicious about it. No juiciness, even a little fat would've helped. I wanted to send it back immediately but I was with friends and ... you know. My friend's kale salad was big kale leaves which she hated, as she stated "kale needs to be chopped up small or you're chewing forever." The dressing was good. I think this place is cool but they need to step up to the plate and deliver their unique food so that is tastes great not just ok. Think more Night Market Soup...
Great spot with run by really friendly folks. Always great luck options. Had a great special Japanese style fried chicken and potato salad today - excellent. Jasmine bubble tea is also fantastic.
So so good! Amazing flavors and healthy ingredients! The online ordering process is so easy. My 14 y/o boy ordered the fajita bowl, we each had the Mediterranean bowl, plus the fish taco bowl and curry bowl for 2 more guests- everyone loved it! Excellent job Cortney and co.!
I just had the Power Salad and it was amazing! wow! thank you! excited to have a place to get such a fresh healthy salad in Camden!
Fast friendly service paired with good food.
