This week, on Tuesday had the pleasure of dining at Japa Bowl, and the experience was delightful. The miso ramen was particularly delicious and well-prepared. We did not have to wait long for our supper, which makes all the difference when you are hungry. Additionally, we enjoyed the shrimp and tempura, both of which were excellent. I highly recommend Japa Bowl for its tasty food and efficient service.

The food was excellent. I had the Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl and my husband had the Spicy Beef Yaki Udon, both meals were delicious and filling. We're definitely going to go back.

Great local restaurant on Broadway Ave that serves fantastic ramen. Potentially the best in the city, it has a smaller but fine tuned menu with service that feels like visiting family.

Japa Bowl is my absolute fav restaurant! Every time I come in, I’m greeted by Rose! She is so friendly and welcoming!! She always has a smile on her face and is so enjoyable to laugh with! The food is amazing with just the right amount of spice in the spicy ramens! The refreshing lemon water that is served also pairs incredibly well with the ramens! Overall, an amazing little restaurant!
