Bowlba has become a staple for me!! I love this place. I usually order to-go and my ramen is always still warm when I get home. Flavor is delicious, noodles are never soggy, and topping portions are generous. Their boba menu is great too and they offer popping bobas which are a personal favorite 😋

My fiancé stopped by here yesterday and picked up Bowlba for us because I was really sick and wanted something warm and comforting for dinner. We'd never been and heard good things. He got two build your own bowls and a Thai milk tea with tapioca pearls. The food didn't take too long to prepare. We loved how they separated the broth and the noodles/ingredients into separate containers. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The tea was delicious and not overly sweet. Definitely just what I needed when my throat was sore and hurting. It wasn't too hot and the perfect meal for a cold, snowy, winters day. We are so happy to see such a wonderful little noodle shop right in the heart of Arlington. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the wonderful meal.

YAY! So excited to have Bowlba! Located in the heart of downtown Arlington, this is the BEST place to find flavor-packed Asian soup options with a variety of soup bases and noodles. The option to customize any soup is great, but their signature soups are the perfect place to start if you want to try it all. I loved the Chinese Five Spice signature soup, so much flavor and just the right amount without feeling too full. I added heat from the spice table, and their vinegar soaked jalenpenos to add in were chefs kiss! We also enjoyed the Japanese Miso Ramen.
Of course we also ordered bobas - Mango milk tea (was the BEST my daughter ever had and she's quite the expert), my Thai Iced tea was perfection as well. Bobas are also highly customizable from ice amount to sweetness level.
It was just under $50 for two soups and two drinks, so we might not be able to make this is routine option but for special treats it hit the spot!

Exceptional all around! Great use of a small space with comfortable seating arrangements, catastic decor, and clean environment! The Food was delicious! We had the Beef Pho. You could tell the owners put thought and consideration into small details including the nice sound system to create a special experience for their customers.

Bowlba is decent. I had the Japanese miso ramen and it came out more than lukewarm but definitely not hot enough. The taste was ok though. The noodles were firm and not soggy which is a good indicator. The broth was decent, though a ramen specialty place would have done it a lot better. I appreciate having this place in our little town.

Good food, love the ramen miso. The boba sweetness is high but they have lots of sweetness levels to choose from.

I'm so grateful for there to be a baba tea noodle shop in walking distance for me. No more driving to a different city to find a noodle shop. The noodle, broth and toppings are perfect in flavor. The baba tea has many combination options. I loved it. Perfect for a cold afternoon or evening out. I will return as much as I can.

Quiet and cozy noodle restaurant. I got the Japanese Miso Ramen and that was delicious. My wife got the pho. They have a little spice station off to the side where you can jazz it up with jalapeños, hoisin, soy sauce, etc. The typical stuff.
I’m happy we’ve got one in town now and we’ll be back to check out the other options including the customization options.
It’s on the smaller size, so best for groups of 2-4 people or solo dining.
Kid-friendliness: No alcohol that I noticed, small dining room, so as long as the kids don’t feel compelled to run around and can chill at the table it’s perfectly fine.
Wheelchair accessibility: Single entry door, on level with the sidewalk.
