Stone Bowl Korean & Ramen Restaurant

I’ve lived in Asia (and Hawai’i) and can confidently state that this is the BEST ramen in the area. The stone bowls are also delicious and offer a unique experience. The owner is very friendly, kind, and helpful. I recommend this place highly! It should honestly be way busier! Check it out!

I took my girlfriend out here to eat, we had a very good experience here, the food was amazing and it is all a one man show. The owner greeted us, sat us at a table, took our order, made our food, AND EVEN STOOD AT OUR TABLE AND SHOWED US HOW TO COOK IT AND EAT IT. We were looking for a Korean restaurant just like this one. It was the most authentic experience we could have had, I would 100% recommend this place to ANYONE!
The owner is an amazing man and such a hard worker that went above and beyond to share his culture with us tonight.

Stone Bowl is great - I had the hot stone bowl Bi Bim Bop, and some crispy dumplings. Best Korean I've had in a long time. Staff was great.

The food was so delicious and warm and perfect for a chilly winter day! The recommended crunch dumplings were a geeat appetizer. The man in charge was very kind and helpful to teach us how to order and stir the food! Overall, a hidden gem!

As many reviewers said, I was uncertain when we pulled in. We got there right before open and we were worried that the place had closed. BUT the man in charge let us in and welcomed us warmly (which was appreciated since it was pretty cold outside). We were the first ones in for the dinner rush and it was very comfortable and inviting!

맛있어요! 우리는 잘 먹었습니다!

I highly, highly recommend Stone Bowl to anyone and everyone. I’ve never had a bad dish here. Everything on the menu is delicious. My favorite dishes include the dumplings, pork belly stone bowl, chicken ramen, and seafood ramen. Absolutely can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The jammy eggs in the ramen are perfectly cooked every time.

Many of the dishes are vegetarian and vegan friendly as well. The dumplings are one of the best things on the menu, and they happen to be vegan. Everything is clearly marked, so there’s no confusion.

There is a selection of Japanese and domestic beer, along with other imported drinks.

The owner is the only worker, and he does a great job. When it’s busy, he may be in the back cooking when you walk in, but he’s always around to greet you within a couple minutes. He is incredibly kind and welcoming.

I always find myself coming back here. If you’re looking for some amazing ramen or bibimbap, you really can’t go wrong. Any time someone comes to visit, I bring them here.

Picture is of the chicken ramen, seafood ramen, and the kimchi.

We came in a few months ago, and this place felt like a delivery and take out restaurant.
It felt very unwelcoming for dining in. We wanted a sit down restaurant and thus ended up leaving (sadly, I wanted stone bowl!)

Self service by scanning code & ordering from phone. Difficult if you have questions about menu. Food was good but expensive for portion received. Parking lot very dark.

This is the ultimate comfort food. I think I could eat the vegetarian dumpling ramen every single day.

This place is very unassuming from the outside. I haven't found a place that feels this authentic since visiting Korea. They made ordering easy, they put care into telling people that are new to Korean food what to try first. They came over to the table to explain to first timers how to prep their bowls. They have a service button, which is honestly the best thing and I wish all places had one. I couldn't recommend this place more.
