OKI Bowl

OKI Bowl is an adorable spot in Georgetown that is always a solid option for your ramen cravings!I have been here twice and have always gotten the Oki Curry Ramen - a delicious curry ramen with crispy fried chicken, onions, and noodles. So flavorful and comforting! Not too spicy and uses quality ingredients.The ambiance is very colorful and clean. Each member of the staff helps you feel right at home and is very accommodating. Note you pay via Toast that cannot be split between different people. Here is where Venmo comes in handy!Will always love OKI Bowl!

This place is pretty good. I think its biggest strength is its atmosphere. The place is small, but decorated beautifully and great for a unique lunch. The ramen is pretty good and decent portions. The tea is delicious and they have a good amount of choices.My only thing is the pricing is a little much. Instead of a waiter taking your order, you just order via a QR code that leads to their website. It's nice because you get your order in sooner and it prevents any problems with splitting the bill. But the problem is they add a 22% gratuity fee, which I think is unnecessary given that the service wasn't really anything special.I liked this place and honestly I probably would go back for a scenic lunch with good ramen, but definitely not too often because of those prices.

I went to Oki Bowl in Georgetown tonight for a solo dinner, and honestly, it was a letdown. The restaurant has a minimal staff presence--just one person in the dining room with a QR code to order. I get that this setup works in some places, but when your self-checkout defaults to a 22% tip, it feels off. For what, exactly?I was really looking forward to a classic Tonkotsu Ramen, but they didn't have it, so I went with the Spider Tom Yum Ramen (which comes with a "soft shell" crab) and added extra noodles. I also ordered a Thai tea with boba, because why not?The tea came first, and it was fine, but half the glass was filled with ice, leaving little room for the tea itself. It made it nearly impossible to enjoy the boba once the tea was gone--I felt like I was fishing around for boba trapped at the bottom of the glass.Then the soup arrived, and... the smell hit me hard. Imagine stinky feet, but somehow worse. I like Tom Yum and have no problem with pungent flavors, but this was something else. It was rough. I was too hungry to send it back, and after spending $33, I powered through. The hard-boiled egg was cold, the noodles were decent, and the spice level was good, but that smell never went away.Then there was the soft shell crab. It wasn't soft at all. Tempura-battered, sure, but biting into it felt like a battle. I spent more time trying to chew through the shell than enjoying it, which left me wondering if I'd regret it later.In short, I spent $33 on a meal that smelled like feet and came with a cold egg and hard-to-chew crab. Save your money and skip this one. The only bright spot? There's a Van Leeuwen ice cream shop around the corner to ease the disappointment.

Very nice staff, cute decor inside but the food we got was so-so. Mine was hot fried chicken over rice. 80% rice and the chicken tasted like it came from Giant or Safeway frozen food section. My wife got something else that was also average at best.Hope they improve but not for us.

I took a day trip to Georgetown on my day off and decided to come here for lunch back in November. I had found out about this place through reels I saw on Instagram and it looked cool so I wanted to check it out for myself. I remember loving everything I got but they are currently closed because they are moving to a new location. I'm planning to go back and when they open I will erase this and give you a more accurate and updated review of the food and my entire experience!

Three stars for great service. Wanted to love it. Cute place, the menu looked so yummy! But no. The ramen lacked flavor! I ordered the spicy Tom Yum shrimp ramen bowl and my daughter ordered the miso bowl. We needed seasoning! We asked for soy sauce and they seemed puzzled. It was brought over and then several minutes later they asked if we were done using it and took it back. Like what? Y'all only got one bottle for everyone? The broth was bland which caused my spicy broth to really stand out more in heat. My daughter always likes miso broth because it's always a bit thicker than regular broths. It was not flavorful. The egg was delicious and the tempura shrimp were good. For $50 it was a no. Wouldn't recommend the two bowls we got. Maybe something else is better?

The service here was so good. Really attentive and caring servers and management even before I brought up my food allergies. They worked so hard to find me tasty food that I could eat. I ended up with the beef rice bowl with yu choy and miso, and I loved it. I am adding this as one of my cold day standards.

Food was good at the old location and foods good at this one. My fav Ramen destination and easy to get to. Have only gotten take out so can't comment on the inside but it looks cozy enough. I like it!!

I wasn't super impressed by this place. The bamboo shoots felt stringy, the broth wasn't very hot, and the egg wasn't as jammy as I would like. Nothing in my bowl looked very appetizing but I had to eat it nonetheless. I also find it so weird when establishments that make you order on an app and then don't have the waiter do much other than bring the food ask you for a tip when you pay. When you order on the app, it makes you prepay which is a red flag for me given that I haven't tried the food yet. I don't think I'll be back!

I'm obsessed with this place and already planning when I can make another trip down so I can try more things on the menu. We went on a Friday afternoon and even though the restaurant itself is small we had no problem getting a table. The decorations/ambiance is so fun, bright and festive, even the bathrooms are decorated in bright crazy colors and decor. You can't help but smile while you are there. The food was amazing! We started with chicken potstickers which came with a peanut curry broth and Shishito peppers with bonito flakes and thick ponzu dipping sauce, both were delicious and I would absolutely order again. I had the Spider Tom Yum Ramen which was spicy and full of lemongrass flavor. The soft shell crab was perfectly fried. My friend had the Miso Ramen with jumbo shrimp which was equally delicious. The ramen was a perfect balance of broth to noodle. When you go be prepared to scan a QR code to see menu and order and pay. The process was actually very easy. I highly recommend this place!
