This is my go-to spot for a working lunch. Absolutely love their food! The banchans are top notch, packed with flavor and always feel like a treat. I easily get two meals out of one bowl. Every dish hits the spot - customizable, consistently delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a flavorful, reliable Korean meal. The service is fast and the staff is courteous.

Phenomenal spot for weekday lunches. I was longing for a quick grab n go lunch place near work, and boy does this one deliver. I tried the spicy chicken bowl. Everything from the sides to the meat is packed with flavors. The staff is kind and helpful. Not the cheapest lunch but certainly affordable still, and well worth the value. 10/10 will go again.

Generally a great food experience... they no longer have 15 mins free parking like they used to unfortunately as parking is absolutely non-existent. ordered 4 lunch boxes and they didn't have the advertised items in the meal... was highly substituted which I would have preferred they told me ahead of time. also they acted very pressed by me ordering 4 lunches at once without ordering online but as I told them, their website no longer accepts orders. This place was a lot better when they first opened... everyone seems less concerned with the customer experience now. they also had k-pop videos blasting on a large TV right in the dining room.

I love Korean food and was excited to try the bowl here. Unfortunately kimchi had a foul smell like it was turning bad and the spicy pork was kinda chewy and fatty. Paid close to $20 so it was very disappointing.

The food was excellent and the portions are generous. I had the spicy chicken and was very pleased. I only wished that they had recommended bowls you could order if you don’t feel like building your own. But all in all, the service was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back.

Regularly order their lunch boxes. Always consistently good. Wish they had a little more choice.. though like perhaps a salmon lunchbox.

Bowl Gogi is located right next to Bellevue Transit Center and is only open on weekdays between 10:45am and 3:30pm (very limited hours, in my opinion). After passing by this restaurant countless times, I finally had the opportunity to dine here right before the lunch rush.
To be honest, I was startled by the prices; I looked up the menu online before coming here and was expecting to pay ~$14 for a Bowl Gogi (think: Korean Chipotle). With the $1 price increase on the Bowl Gogi and lunch boxes, I decided to get the Spicy Pork Lunch Box instead. After all, it comes with more - beef gyoza, egg roll, broccoli, macaroni salad, omelette, and kimchi.
The price became more palatable when I saw the generous size of the lunch box. Because the rice (I opted for half white rice and half brown rice) came in a separate container, the largest compartment was full of meat; I was extremely pleased when I had a containerful of meat leftover to take home.
Now on to the taste. The spicy pork was delicious but not spicy, and the beef gyoza and egg roll were well fried. The broccoli was a bit raw for my taste (I like my vegetables cooked unless I am eating a salad), and the macaroni salad and omelette were as expected. The kimchi, however, was confusing. The portion was tiny, and it was overly sweet - is this normal for ripened kimchi? I am not Korean - whereas I prefer something sharper to cut through the meatiness of the spicy pork.
Overall, Bowl Gogi is a good lunch option despite the higher prices (yes, I know Downtown Bellevue is expensive) if you can get two meals out of one order here. A solid 4.0/5.0!
