This spot specializes in serving Japanese dishes, including bao, rice bowls, and (of course) ramen. It’s fairly new to the area, but it’s already a big hit among locals and Dragon Ball lovers alike!

Dragon Bowl Ramen is themed on one of the most popular anime in the world: Dragon Ball. Inside, you’ll find the walls lined with Dragon Ball memorabilia from manga panels and posters to a number of character figurines.

Starting off with why you’re here: the ramen. You can get a variety of ramen such as Hakata-style, black, or red tonkotsu, regular or red miso, shoyu, veggie, tori, or curry.

We tried the miso ramen, and let’s just say, it made “me so” happy! We’re sure this dish will invoke the same feelings within you too!

If you’re not into ramen but you don’t want to miss out on the Dragon Bowl delights, you can order a variety of rice bowls. There’s karaage, fried calamari, chashu, tori curry, tonkatsu curry, and ebi katsu curry.

The karaage bowl is to die for! Drizzle some spicy mayo over the crispy fried chicken and send your taste buds on a one-way trip to FlavorTown.

Ready for dessert? Try mochi ice cream in matcha or strawberry flavors, or order taiyaki, a Japanese fish shaped waffle cake.
