I had the Korean chicken bowl and my husband had the bimimbop. Both were delicious. If they were open for dinner we would have gone back.

Yum! So good and easy to pop in and have a healthy meal. Everything they make is so good and the variety is wonderful while keeping the menu simple. Very cute dining room. The women who runs the counter is a sweetheart. And boba!!

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.

The exterior is small and kind of bohemian and their menu is also limited, but wow, it's well thought out and there's something for everyone here. My daughter loves their boba tea and we sometimes see other kids and parents stop by for it as an after school treat. My husband loves the kombucha selection of drinks and fajita and orange chicken and I love the Mediterranean and power salad. Great place to eat with a vegetarian or vegan friend. They accommodate gluten-free as well. I love that ingredients are locally sourced.They are prompt with take out and the dining area is bright and accommodating for small groups or couples. There's a serve yourself area for water, napkins, chopsticks, etc and bar seating for quickest service. We like it and hope they stay in town for a long time! Have yet to try one of their ginormous fresh baked cookies but they look and smell fantastic.

This little restaurant has the most amazing food. You order at the bar from a chalk board menu. The foods are an eclectic mix of vegetarian and pork and chicken based dishes. The portions are very good and the food is beautifully presented. The curry was delicious and my husband had a wonderful Mediterranean dish with falafel, hummus, bulgur wheat and raw vegetables. I would recommend it!

One of the two relatively new lunch joints in town with salads, soups, curry and other healthier sounding alternatives to subs and burgers. I had some time between appointments to relax in their sunny space with a couple window tables. Service was quick and pleasant. I only had the bibimbap and it was fresh and tasty. Definitely a place to keep in mind for lunch!

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.

We were on vacation and stopped in for lunch. The dishes are inspired by international cuisines with their own take on it. It was a refreshing change for the Vegetarian eater in me, specially compared to a lot of other restaurants in the area where wholesome vegetarian dishes can be hard to come by. The food is plated beautifully, is healthy and fresh and the owner is very nice and accommodating to any dietary preferences. We tried the Mediterranean Bowl and Thai curry bowl and both were delicious. There is not a single thing that we didn't like about them. We also tried their Butterfly Lemonade. It was tasty but on the more sour side. We also appreciate the compostable bowls and cutlery. It was a beautiful day so we ate in the park near the water which was great! I just wished the prices were a little better as for me it seemed on the pricier side for the portions. But it is still worth a visit when in town!

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.

BOWA is great! I think they were going through growing pains. They have grown! The food is fresh and delicious. The power salad is my new favorite. The carrot ginger dressing is to die for. My friend lo Ed her food as well.

I am so glad we tried this place. The food is delicious. I had the bibimbap with tofu and it was amazing. The tofu is flavorful and the veggies are so fresh, bursting with flavor. I didn't generally like kimchee, as I usually find it too spicy, but theirs was just right. My wife adored the sesame-miso soba noodles. The staff is friendly and the place was hopping. If you visit Camden, make sure to stop by for lunch.
