Chowa Bowl Morro Bay — Restaurant in Morro Bay

I truly love poke and I thought I would give this place a try. I tried the poke bowl and it was very bland, apart from a little salty. This poke recipe had less ingredients than others that I've tried. I have had much tastier poke for a lot less money this. The bowl was $19 and it definitely was not worth what I paid. Also, I called several times and a recording came on that said voicemail had not been set up yet. I wasn't even sure if this place was still open but I decided to drive over and see for myself. While I was waiting for my order I noticed that the cashier was taking phone orders but when I left the store I tried calling again on a different phone and the call was not answered, I'm not sure why. Perhaps they are not able to handle the call volume. I wish it would have been a better experience as I said poke is one of my...

I’m visiting from Boston and had the pleasure of dining at Chowa Bowl in Morro Bay with family and I’m already planning to go back today! This place is a gem.

The food was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. As a group, we tried the Poke, Bulgogi Bowl, Burrata Salad, Ramen. Every dish was bursting with flavor and made with such care. I had the Bulgogi Bowl with Grilled Filet Mignon skewers and the meat was tender, perfectly grilled, and so delicious.

The service was just as wonderful, warm, welcoming, and super fast. The whole place has a clean, inviting vibe and is clearly run by people who care about quality.

I only wish I lived closer, I would be here every day. We are actually going back to day. Don’t miss this spot if you’re in the area. A truly memorable...

The Rock Shoyu Ramen was incredibly delicious and unique, the broth had an intense spice fragrance that reminded us of Chinese or Vietnamese beef stews and the noodles had a chewy handmade texture (not sure if it was actually handmade, would be cool if it is) and the pork tender and melt in the mouth. The Okie Pokie was very tasty and fresh. However for the price at $16.50, especially the ramen, there should be more veges, garnish or pickles, it's very spare for the price, just I small piece of seaweed, a piece of pork and half an egg. Also, no GF noodle options.

I did read that they are trying to buy local veges and seafood (hopefully meat too!) and I hope that continues as it's a big plus. We enjoy small food places with a creative twist and this is a refreshing...
