Palm Beach Post: Kapow Noodle Bar West Palm


Kapow Noodle Bar serves a variety of trendy, Asian-themed dishes, including funky twists on old favorites like pad Thai, fried rice and pho, along with tacos and salads. Most dishes are priced at less than $20, but the small-plate format means it’s easy to run up a big bill. Kapow has a full bar with beer, wine and cocktails.

ATMOSPHERE

Hip. Kapow opened in the former Longboards space on Clematis. The surf theme is gone, replaced by a graphic-novel look. This is the second location for Kapow, which also has a restaurant in Boca Raton.

OUR FAVORITE FOOD/PRICE

Everything was good. I loved the Mushroom Chow Fun ($15), which included Cantonese rice noodles, bok choy and truffles. I paid an extra $7.50 for grilled steak, which was pricey but also quite tasty.

REASON TO GO

Unique menu items, a fun vibe and friendly service.

SERVICE

Friendly and attentive. We visited Kapow soon after it opened, and the servers seemed keen to make a good first impression.

NOISE LEVEL

Bustling but not overbearing. Music played on the sound system, and the dining room was a bit crowded, but we still were able to carry on a conversation.

KID FRIENDLY

Yes and no. The casual atmosphere works for kids, but the fare is a bit sophisticated and expensive for children’s palates. However, we saw a number of families with children at Kapow.
