WHO SAYS RAMEN HAS TO BE HOT? βοΈπ
Meet our Hiyashi ChΕ«ka β Japanese Cold Ramen.
Cold ramen noodles loaded up with avocado, cucumber, tomato, krab, fresh greens, negi and sesame, finished with our house sauce.
And because more is moreβ¦ add shrimp. π€
Cold. Fresh. Bright. A little sweet and a little tangy. And exactly what ramen should taste like when it's 75Β° and sunny in Ocean Beach.
Pair it with a cold draft and you've pretty much figured out summer. πΊ

WHAT ARE YOU IN THE MOOD FOR? ππ£π₯
Ramen? Sushi? Crudo? Something crispy? Something fresh? Maybe a little bit of everything?
Thatβs kind of the point at The Bowl.
We make our ramen from scratch, cut fresh fish, roll sushi to order, pickle our veggies, marinate our ajitama eggs and make a whole lot more than what fits in the name.
Come hungry. Bring some friends. Order too much. Share everything. π
And maybe grab a cold b**r or a sake bomb while youβre at it. πΊπ£

You don't have to choose just one. πππ£
One person comes for ramen. Another can't stop thinking about our smash burgers. Someone else orders sushi. Then everyone shares gyoza, spicy cucumbers, and loaded fries.
That's exactly what The Bowl is all about.
From scratch-made ramen and Japanese curry... to crispy karaage, handcrafted sushi, artisan smash burgers, rice bowls, and 24 craft taps...
There's something for everyone at the table.
