Beyond The Bowl - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed a Shrimp Tempura bowl with avocado and an egg. Everything tasted great!

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the place and staff were lovely, I didn't really enjoy the Poké bowl. It wasn't objectively bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting or wanting. The salmon was about half edible, with half the pieces being too tough and chewy to eat. There also wasn't much sauce. All in all, it was a disappointing meal.

My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was good, the service left something to be desired. Unfortunately, the ambience at Lake City Way is also not the best.

My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately quite negative. I'm not trying to be harsh, but if you truly enjoy sushi, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Every roll we ordered was dry, especially the crab, which tasted old. None of us could even finish our food — it was that bad. I've never had sushi that dry before. Even my roll with spicy mayo and seared salmon somehow had zero flavor. It was honestly shocking. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

My experience at this restaurant has been consistently excellent. I actively go out of my way, past several other places, to eat here because their fish is so fresh and their toppings are delicious. The rice is cooked to perfection every time. Furthermore, the staff is always super friendly and accommodating. If you like poke, you have to get it here!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, especially considering the price. I had hoped to enjoy their house udon, but it seems it hasn't improved since previous reviews. For $16 a bowl, I expected more. The beef in the udon was very tough, and the broth was too sweet, with the sweetness seemingly coming from the corn. Even the seaweed was tough to eat. The Cali roll was a small portion with small pieces, and its quality was only average, comparable to grocery store sushi. We were one of only two parties dining in, yet we were never checked on during our long wait for food or after it arrived. The staff appeared more focused on to-go orders. The only positive aspect of our visit was the delicious mango shake, which was reasonably priced for Seattle at $7. While poke might be a better option here, it might be best for the restaurant to focus on what they do well. The difficult street parking also makes returning here not worthwhile.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely incredible! The staff were always friendly, and the food quality was consistently stellar. I particularly enjoyed the Vegi tempura, which was cooked to perfect doneness. The Karage was seasoned very well before frying, and the oil temperature was perfect! 👌 My staple is building my own poke bowl; it's always fresh, fast, and delicious. Thank you so much for the wonderful dinner!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the very small portions and high prices. While the food was good and the service was friendly, the portions were so tiny they wouldn't fill an average American person. I felt the restaurant was overpriced for the minuscule portions offered, leaving me hungry after paying a lot. It felt like they were measuring portions for very small individuals. I believe customers are willing to pay higher prices if they receive good value for money, but this was not the case here. They should avoid skimming and shortening portions to ensure customer satisfaction and business longevity. Additionally, there was difficult to find parking nearby.

My experience at this restaurant was very positive, primarily due to the delicious chicken teriyaki bowl. The ingredients were so fresh, with perfectly steamed veggies and a delightful sauce that was not too heavy, just right. The service was friendly and efficient. While the restaurant space itself has no beauty, it was clean.

My experience at the restaurant was that the food was not bad. However, finding street parking was a significant challenge, as it was only available for one hour.
