Randomly went here with my daughter because we had to get a passport a few blocks away. Loved everything about it. If Im ever in the area again I’ll be back.Kid-friendliness: The owner was very accommodating to my 5yo, suggested a different dish for her, pulled out a fun kids drink for her, it was great, best part about the place.

Yes, just yes. Don’t think about it. This is where you want to eat. My wife and I came back to Seattle for our wedding and we were more excited about coming back here than we were the wedding itself. I’d say this place is a hidden gem, but all the locals know this is where you go when you want fresh fish bowls.

Got the samurai bowl and it was satisfyingly delicious. fish was fresh and plentiful, the owner was so friendly and patient as it was my first time there and took a while to choose from all the many enticing choices. Will be back!

If I worked in the area, I'd come all the time! Generous portions, quality food, great value, friendly and efficient staff. My beef bibimbap was full of meat and veggies; my California roll had an extra slice of fresh avocado on top. Can't wait to try their other bowls in the future. Owner was super friendly and gave my toddler a fun drink. Such a great experience here, thank you!

Lovely interaction with the kind ‘owner’ or gentleman at the front desk. Looks like a lot of loyal return customers, he knew their order as soon as they’d walk in the door! Very kind and sweet!I had a plant-based bowl and loved the variety in my plate!

So so good. Decided to go here after reading all the reviews. Small place with long lines during weekday lunch time. I got the fresh fish bowl, Radical, with tuna n salmon. Absolutely amazing and good quantity. It’s rice, cabbage, secret sauce, broccoli, fish n avocado. For $18, this is a bang for your buck. They have a variety of bowls but I am sure each of them must be good.If u r craving for good bowls, stop by here today.

This place is exactly what it should be. Loud and friendly Korean guy taking orders. The line moves quickly at lunch time. The food is simple but technically perfect. Drinks are cheap. Paying .75 for a bottle of water in downtown Seattle is just wild.

These bowls are so fresh and have a perfect balance of food. I can see why it’s so highly rated. The man who helped us was very nice and the food was done quickly.
Stopped by here today to get a fresh fish bowl. The owner cashed me out and he was so nice and lovely to talk to. The food was delicious and fresh.. I got so much fresh fish for the price ($17.50ish, i got the chef's special). I was surprised with how much fish was in the bowl. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend

Awesome food and great value! I strongly recommend their Hae dop bap bowl (I get this weekly) and their Samurai bowl!EDIT after 3 years:This is still my favorite lunch spot in Seattle. I'm not there as often anymore, and miss it dearly. A treat when I'm in town. The owner still recognized me on my last visit, despite 2 feet of hair growth, a new beard, and several new piercings. Kudos. :D
