Noodles in Raleigh, NC

“This was my first time dining at Bowlba Cafe. My family that stays in the neighborhood had pretty good reviews so I wanted to try for myself. The Bowlba ramen was really good. The Lumpia and Gyoza were also really good. Everything came out piping hot which I appreciated !“

“Wow! Great little ramen and rice dish restaurant with a list of delicious appetizers. The ramen is delicious - and there are a number of interesting noodle options like a ramen version of Thai Tom Kha, or Korean Army Noodles with spam and hot dog! They have a number of rice dishes, two with Japanese curry like pork cutlet or beef meatball. Great friendly service too.“

“This place has the best Pad Thai of anywhere I’ve ever been, and I love Thai food and have been to many different Thai restaurants. Their prices are extremely reasonable and service is always fast and accurate.“

“Best hibachi takeout I have ever had! I ordered a Hibachi Chicken and Steak over the phone and it was ready when I arrived. The rice was nicely browned and fluffy and the veggies were perfectly sautéed. The chicken was nicely browned and full of flavor (not plain white/bland). The steak was amazing! Not super chewy and melted in my mouth. The white sauce was yummy too!! I will most definitely be back! When I arrived I saw a table being served their dishes and they looked delicious. I would do dine-in or take out here!“

“My first time at Seoul Garden. My friend Paul sat me and my son at a table that had a burner. It was really cool, that we could cook our food. My son was having fun cooking. I loved the food. The atmosphere. And the people were really nice. I would definitely come back.“

“I had the beef jerkey appetizer and curry laska. I always get curry laska whenever it’s on the menu and this one’s the best one I’ve had! They do NOT skimp on the meat portions. And everything came out super fast. We sat on the patio for at least two hours, mimosas were on sunday special for $3 ! I will be back every Sunday“

“The old saying ... you pay for what you get ..is very true. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our family. The food was excellent came out hot and spaced correctly from drinks to appetizers to main course the taste was spot on very delicious.“

“Overall Rating: 7.2/10This venue offers a pleasant dining atmosphere with fresh, high-quality dishes, though there are areas in service that could be improved for a more seamless experience.Atmosphere: 5.9/10The restaurant boasts a nicely-sized space with a relaxed vibe, complemented by background music and basic but neatly sectioned outdoor seating. The setting provides a chill environment conducive to casual dining.Service: 5.2/10Service features self-seating and ordering at the front desk, which offers a laid-back approach. The absence of paper menus was a downside, and while free water was available, it was warm—though ice was offered. The use of bamboo chopsticks added a nice touch to the dining experience.Food:Meatball Pho: 7.9/10This dish was a highlight, featuring a flavorful broth and tasty meatballs, served in a good portion that emphasized freshness and quality.Crab Rangoon: 7.8/10Distinct from typical offerings, these rangoons included real crab, making them notably fresh and well-prepared, a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality.Fresh Rolls: 8.1/10Prepared on-demand, the freshness was palpable. The pork was tender and warm, perfectly complementing the excellent peanut sauce, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the rolls.Banh Mi Sandwich with BBQ Pork: 5.8/10While the bread was fresh and warm, and the pork of good quality, the sauce did not meet expectations, which slightly diminished the enjoyment of this sandwich.Value: 8.5/10The pricing was deemed very reasonable given the quality and portion sizes of the food. This aspect, along with the freshness and preparation of the dishes, makes the restaurant highly recommendable for its value.“

“You WILL NOT be disappointed! Lunch is not served after 2:30...Lunch buffet close to $12 w/drink... CAN'T beat this! Small buffet...Nice little crowd ...(Gets BUSY...during the week! NO buffet on the wknd! ONLY takeout...Take out during the week, as well.“

“The noodles were great with several menu options for noodles of any cuisine you might like. A little pricey, but the small portion is perfect for lunch and really even a dinner, a regular would give you leftovers if you don’t eat much usually. The girl taking orders was welcoming and friendly.“
