The Bowl — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Wow. Ok. So rudeness is in fact a thing here. And now that I am reading some of the reviews, immaturity. Their response back to the “sample” ”rudeness” comment below is by calling their customer a “Hater”.

Went in yesterday for the first time to get a Poke bowl, which was really good, but did encounter a rude female employee who also made me feel rushed to order. Again, first time here so I was debating my options. She seemed flustered and annoyed that she had to repeat herself ONCE. Mind you, I was the only person there. I continued ordering but also stood stern. She realized how she was acting and corrected herself. I was pretty irritated by the whole encounter that I forgot to order/ try one of the appetizers.

“The bowl” - It’s in your best interest to vet who you hire and to make it clear to your employees that rudeness is unprofessional and unacceptable in a business. I’m sure you’re aware that this is how you lose customers. Again, the bowl was delicious but you better believe if someone were to ask about the establishment I’ll be retelling this ordeal. I also want to note that the interior is a mess. This is not something you want to see when ordering raw fish, or any food at that. It makes you wonder how are the ingredients stored and handle if this is how you keep the area exposed...

Simple little place with some tables to sit should you choose to. Overall wasn't bad but, in my experience, the price isn't justified.

Traditional Noodles, Tonkatsu Style: Noodles were OK. Weren't the best tasting Broth was thick and not oily. Overall flavorful Toppings was lacking for its price point: Bean Sprouts, 3 slices of chasu, corn, 2 pieces of bok choy The chasu was cooked to a good consistency (had a good firmness) but lacking in flavor Chili oil offered for spice but not the traditional spicy paste Portion itself wasn't a bad size

Cost of bowl $14 pre-tax

Tapioca Milk Tea: Good sweetness Tall serving Tapioca was well made Overall worth the price

$5.50 pre-tax

Combined total: $22 including tax

Conclusion: Good place for a lunch but not worth the price. I've had similar ramen for $9 - $10 and for its current price point, Ni Ramen (just 3 blocks away) has more to offer.

We normally get the Poke Bowls and they're absolutely delicious. Ingredients are super fresh and you can taste it in every bite. For proteins we normally order the Ahi Tuna, Yellowtail, Spicy Tuna, Spicy Kani. The quality and freshness of the fish far surpasses the majority of sushi restaurants anywhere in the area. Some people say it's pricey but if you consider the cost of the ingredients in each bowl you'll realize that the prices are very reasonable. My wife ordered us Poke Bowls for dinner last night when I got home from work and I couldn't thank her enough. It honestly was one of those meals that you truly enjoy and make your day. We normally order pick-up or delivery and never had any issues with the staff when ordering. They've been very polite whenever...
