I came here with high expectations based on the reviews. I thought the fish cuts were decently thick, but the sauce is a bit one noted. I ordered it with both unagi sauce and spicy mayo to try, but it seems like I only got unagi sauce. I wish the salad came separate from the hot rice and with dressing. The miso soup however was a bit too salty. The tofu pieces had an interesting texture, almost cream-like. It's not bad but it's the first time I've had tofu like that. At the time of my visit, some items that I saw pictures of online were not available (e.g., spam musubi). When I asked, the lady who worked there said some items were unavailable. That said, I then saw a notice explaining the situation and that the restaurant would offer a miso soup as courtesy. The lady did not offer it to me, and only gave it after I asked. This made me feel a bit a bit cheated... Then, there's another notice that a 10% discount is given if you post a review of the restaurant . I did not claim the discount because I want to give a review after I've (paid for) and tried the food. I thought this was an odd choice, given that many restaurants give you a discount for a Yelp checkin not an actual review.

If you want your lunch in 15min then PLEASE SKIP this place. There was no line in front of me and I still waited for 15min, and when I got my poke I realized that they put in the wrong item so I had to wait for another 10min.

I loved the braised tofu bowl when they first opened. But they no longer offer any vegetarian options besides miso soup. Hopefully they will add tofu back to the menu

A great place to stop by and pick up lunch during a tight work break! As someone who works in downtown Seattle, I'm always on the hunt for a new lunch spot and was happy to hear there was a new offering for donburi in the central business district. There's a great selection of different kinds of bentos/donburis to suit different palettes with cooked and raw options. I take the karai bento as a go to option which has generous amounts of sashimi paired with some poke, pickles and seaweed salad. Definitely not a traditional bento or don by any means but it doesn't detract from the fact that it is tasty and reasonably priced. Service is quick so don't be discouraged by the long lines! It definitely gets packed during the lunch rush. Seating is limited to nonexistent so be prepared to takeaway to eat somewhere else!

The fish was NOT cold. I didn't eat it. I don't want to get sick. Do not recommend.

Food is amazing. However, I have been getting frustrating with the online order system. When I put my order in it spits it out to be ready 15-20 min after then usually, with text updates. I get a text that it’s being prepared a minute before the predicted pickup time and go down there (about 2-3 min walk) and it’s not ready. I say I’m here and they say it’ll be a minute, then I watch them start making it. Meanwhile I see someone in front of me order and get their food right away. My order comes out about 10 min after allotted time. I don’t order online just for payment convenience, I order so I can get my food without waiting at the restaurant. Then I get the text my order is ready 20 min after pickup time after I had already picked up my food 10 minutes ago. This same thing has happened 3 times and it’s frustrating. Still leaving 5 star review so I’m not the first guy to bring them down from 5 stars. Please fix your process or set better pickup time expectations.

Great downtown lunch spot, I got a rice bowl with tofu, I could eat that everyday, light, healthy with a tasty sauce. The rice is especially yummy. Will come back soon and update my review.

Third time here. So much better than the other time I ordered it. Not a fan of lettuce in a hot bowl so asked for salad on the side. Cashier didn't flinch and put the order in perfectly. This time it seemed like I got more meat. The first time it was a lot of onions. Love it!

Small but cozy. They have small lunch size boxes. Food is amazing and well worth the cost. Came here during their first week. Great services. :)

The baked salmon is awesome and reasonably priced. Fresh tasting and made quickly for my lunch break. Will definitely be in my rotation.
