I’ve been here twice now and have loved both experiences. I had the salmon bowl both time and quality was outstanding! It isn’t a fancy place but is well worth it to go.

Here's a great spot for casual dining - with a varied menu and high quality. Think: Japanese soul food, but they've got poke too! The main idea here is "dons" - or bowls - of food. Chirashi don is mixed sashimi on rice, Tekka don is tuna on rice - and you can get hot bowls as well, Katsu don (pork cutlet) or Sukiyaki. And they have tofu dishes for vegetarians as well.Nice staff - this spot is a great stand. It's utilitarian and comforting at the same time.Gochisosamadeshita!

Fish was fresh and portion size was generous. A solid, cozy spot to get your donburi fix. I tried and enjoyed the chirashi but would definitely go back to try other dishes.

Friendly and fast service. Limited seating inside. Got the Chirashi bowl. The bowl itself was a bit heavy on the amount of wasabi and rice compared to the amount of fish. The fish itself was alright, not especially flavorful. However the redeeming quality of the bowl was the Unagi which was tender and delicious. Overall this place is worth a try.

Portions reduced ~30% but price increased. I ordered chirachi bowl and it is much less fish now and even less rice. I added sauce for additional cost and it is veeeery

My friends and I came in a little under an hour before close. Unfortunately they couldn't seat us, but we were still able to order to go. They have a screen in the front which makes ordering very easy. We ordered the chirashi bowl to split, and it was SO good. It was well worth the $20. I definitely recommend ordering a side of miso. It's a nice break between eat bite. The woman at the register was very sweet and helpful. I hope to try their sukiyaki don the next time. Can't wait to come back!

This restaurant really has went downhill over the years. Use to be decent value for your money, but portion sizes has shrunk, fish quality has gone down, and prices has gone waay up. Like $20/bowl after all is said and done. At that point, go to a more dedicated joint for a better meal.

Always count on Fremont Bowl to consistently deliver fresh and delicious chirashi bowls. My family loves this spot. Recently stopped by on a layover just for the fresh fish. The staff is friendly and efficient. Curious observation - over years of visiting this place, they never had the AC working! After a few minutes of waiting in this hole in the wall, you won't be able to wait for that first sweet chilled mouthful of sweet fish and perfect sushi rice. Oishii!
Fremont bowl, I love you Such amazing chirashi at a great price point. I'll make my third visit when I'm in town again!

Amazing food for a really good price. I've tried the salmon poke and the chicken katzu, both were delicious. Can't wait to go again when in Seattle. I would say order food there because it's significantly more expensive on the to go apps like Uber eats.

Very authentic, gyudon was my favorite. Could easily see this place becoming a weekly spot for me if I lived close.

This is my favorite spot to get a cheap chirashi bowl! I won't say their quality is amazing, but the value is incredible. Chirashi usually runs $25-30 or so, but theirs is around $19 which is a steal. They have really good eel (which I don't typically care for), two types of salmon, tuna, sometimes hamachi, and some other fish. There's def a lot of rice in the bowl, but I think they give a generous portion of fish as well. Love coming here on a hot day to get some decently priced chirashi!
