Cute small ramen and poke restaurant on Front Street in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Service is excellent and fast, and the fried dumplings and ramen dishes are excellent. Prices are reasonable too! All in all highly recommended.

Best noodle bowl place in town. Immediately, this place is going to be on the top of my list to eat downtown. If you love Ramen, you must try! I tried this place on a Sunday after Halloween. I got the spicey miso bowl with slim pork cuts. It was so flavorful, tender, and delicious. I will try other item in due time.

Really just everything about this was good. Ramen was great flavor, stream dumplings tasty, the mantou sandwich with pork belly was my favorite. Fair price, but also the poke bowl and Ramen could be split between two people easily, so you could make it cheaper easily. Service was also fantastic, would change nothing and will be back.

One of my go-to's in Wilmington. It's a very small place, but does great with the ambiance and fitting people in without them feeling crushed. The service is fantastic. I think my favorite part of that the prices are still decent and the portion sizes are spot on. Highly recommend the Miso Ramen bowl with beef tenderloin... Don't forget extra noodles!

I am in love with this place! My wife and I have had a few bowls and every time they are spot on at a fair price and the ingredients are fresh! The mango is always ripe to perfection! We will be a regular customer here!

This was a great find downtown Wilmington. The soup is excellent, no MSG! Presentation was also nice. The entire place is spotless. Our waitress is very efficient. Will definitely come back. On the way out we noticed noodle machines, need to confirm they make their own noodles! They have a liquor license. You can get Booba drinks here.

Excellent!! Extremely clean place with an open kitchen. The staff as very nice. The Ramen was excellent. This is how it should be done. I normally get Pork Belly but I tried the chicken. It was done perfectly. I would recommend. In the entry way they have machines to make their noodles fresh. It is all behind glass and you can see everything. The food has that home made taste and the attention to detain is obvious.

Food was amazing and we got it very quickly. The bubble tea was also very yummy. Everything was fresh and I loved the small shop atmosphere. I will be going again! 9/10 wasn’t greeted when entered but staff was polite once serving.

May have been the best ramen and poke bowl we have ever had. We also shared some steam pork dumplings and the avocado cucumber salad was phenomenal. Bubble tea was on point as well. Highly recommend going to this place!

Very flavorful and tasty ramen, and one of the only places in town I can grab a pork bun. Luckily they are excellent! The pork here is delicious in everything it's in. Had an enjoyable experience in a clean dining area.

Beautiful restaurant, with kind staff and the most delicious Ramen around. My favorite is the Kimchi Ramen, and it has the perfect balance of umame and spicy flavors. The atmosphere is great as always.

I grabbed takeout from here tonight and it was incredible! My friend and I got the pork miso ramen, the chashu ramen and a Thai tea boba and it was really amazing. The broth was some of the best, most flavorful broth I have ever had and the pork in the chashu ramen melted in my mouth. I also really appreciated how well packaged the take out was. 10/10 would recommend.

We had a great time! Loved the ramen & dumplings. I was so pleased they had veggie dumplings since I don’t eat meat. Great service and great location. Highly recommend for good food!

Legit Tonkatsu Ramen! Oishi. Anyone who has rated this place with less than 5 stars doesn't know what ramen is supposed to taste like. Go to McDonalds, you don't belong here....this place is excellent!

I love the spicy tonkotsu ramen with pork belly and my boyfriend had the chicken paitan ramen and wasn't that good, probably needs more flavor and we share the fun bowl poke with tuna ahi and we bought love it 😋 so i can recommend this place and they also have bubble 🧋 tea

We were in the area in March 2021 and wanted to grab lunch (Saturday around 12PM) before our timed tickets to the Children's Museum. We stumbled upon Fun Bowl on Google and when our 3 kids heard the words "ramen" they were all for it 100%. The Google reviews looked pretty good and so off we went. The restaurant itself was very nice. Luckily there was an open table available for us outside (as we are still uncomfortable eating inside restaurants especially with our 3 younger kids). The staff had masks on at all times and the restaurant did not look super crowded inside. It was also going to be difficult trying to eat carry out ramen so the outdoor seating worked perfect for us. We ordered: • Fun Bowl Ramen with Chashu +egg - this was for my 8 year old and he loved it. He didn't really eat all the extra fixings but he slurped up as much of that pork broth as he could get. The chashu was fantastic and nice and fatty. The broth wasn't spicy but very flavorful. We would totally order this one again. • Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with Chashu +egg - this was my wife's favorite. It had a very nice pork flavor and the spicy amount was just perfect. The same Chashu as in the other bowls and was fantastic. Totally would order again. • Spicy Miso Ramen with Chashu +egg - this was for my 11 year old who loves miso and spicy miso hit the spot for him. I though the broth was good but the spicy tonkotsu and chicken paitan was just better. He said he would order it again. • Chicken Paitan Ramen +egg - this ended up being mine and I was so surprised at how rich and creamy the broth was. I'm always skeptical of chicken broths and would always pick a pork broth over a chicken one but oh my this one was the best chicken based ramen broth I'd ever had. The chicken was okay. I'm pretty sure it was white meat (probably breast meat) but I personally prefer a fattier dark meat but it was still good. The broth had a good amount of what looked like black pepper in it and it was seasoned perfectly. You can believe I downed every last drop. • Noodles and Broth - this was a kids meal and was for my 5 year old who is still a very picky eater. He ate the ENTIRE thing. He said he really liked it and he would've eaten more. It was just plain noodles in the pork broth (similar broth to the fun bowl ramen but none of the extra fixings). Glad they had this option. • House Fun Bowl (Poke) - this we actually ordered to go as my wife wanted to try it. We are big fans of poke bowls so we gave it a go. What we didn't realize until we wanted to eat it was that it did not come with any real sauce and that it was extra that you had to pay to get it. Well it was far too late at that point and we should've paid more attention to the menu. It was just an okay poke bowl but that was our own fault. We were visiting on vacation so we didn't have any sauces to add back at the house. • Taro Bubble Tea - standard taro bubble tea and tasted good. Hits that spot if you are craving taro. • Lychee Bubble Tea - this surprised us since it came with lychee poppers and there was no mention of that on the menu so the kids all naturally gravitated to this one. It was a little TOO sweet for me. • Thai Bubble Tea - standard Thai bubble tea. My wife's favorite. It was good as well if you want that Thai tea fix. • Tempera Cheesecake - this we got on a whim and OMG this is a MUST GET. We would probably go back just to get this item. It's basically a cheesecake slice that they dip and batter with tempera and deep fry. it was just soo amazing. We were so full at that point we only ordered one to share between the 5 of us but i'm sure next time everyone would make sure they each got their own slice. haha. Overall this was a fantastic restaurant find. All my kids loved it and so did we. I think the rated it as one of the best we tried on our spring break trip. I wish we had a place similar to this back home. If we are ever in the Wilmington area again we will be sure to stop by here to get our ramen/bubble tea fix and especially that tempera cheesecake.
