Totally Unique!. I love this place. I am always looking for unique places to eat, and this one definitely takes the cake. But it's not scary unique, its just unique unique. I had the sizzling toban beef and the okanomiyaki for apps and they are so good, especially the beef. Sizzling hot with garlic chips, onions and mushrooms, yummy! The yaki udon and the wasabi soba are both delicious too! And if you have room for dessert, which I kind of doubt, try the Boom Waffle!…
Awesome Apps!. I love all of their food, but I am especially in love with their appetizers (they refer to them as "small plates"). I could eat there every day if I could afford it. My favorites are Sesame Tofu and Sizzling Toban beef, check it out for happy hour when prices are even cheaper!…
Good ramen to be found at the Boom. Good noodles, good atmosphere, good service. Not the cheapest but worth the price if you like good ramen. The Tokyo pork ramen was excellent, yummy and filling.
My out of town guests were WOWED by this Capital Hill JAPANESE noodle house. In November 2008 I met my cousin & her husband from Savannah at Boom Noodle for lunch we shared fabulously, delicious, savory dishes. They are still wishing there was a Japanese Noodle House flourishing in their coastal paradise. it was fun we all had a great time. The wait staff were attentive and told us their favorite dishes. The organic tea was beautifully presented. I went back on New Years Eve with two friends to celebrate one of our birthdays. Again the experience was satisfyingly delicious. I especially enjoyed the brown rice cake appetizers.…
I don't know Boom or Sushi or anything but my co-eaters do.
Went to this place after hearing all sorts of good reviews, with an Asian friend (great cook) and her mother (even better cook). I don't know a lot about Japanese food, so I kinda shrugged and
tolerated the fact that my soup was cold, the noodles were bland, the sushi/fish/whatever it was was [shrug] equally bland, and the waiter seemed to have forgotten about 1/2 of our party's orders.
But the wait staff were wearing urban chic outfits and 'do's, so I guess I was supposed to be impressed. They (the wait staff) certainly acted like I was supposed to be impressed!
I came out of my shell, though, when mamma-san and date-san (the excellent cooks) pronounced the food as VERY disapointing!
I mean, when you're a bachelor, living at home, and the people you're with eat about 2 bites of their meals, and you say "well, I could always take it home and eat it some evening -- I like leftovers" and BOTH of them instantly said "NO! THIS FOOD ISN"T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR LEFTOVERS!"...
I have got to believe it's not to be recommended!…
