Fremont Bowl offers a laid-back vibe with delicious donburi and poke options, serving up fresh, generous portions and quick takeout for a satisfying meal.
"Fremont Bowl is where you can get tasty seafood in large quantities at relatively low prices. They specialize in donburi bowls, and you want one of those with fish—like consistently tender salmon or zuke maguro— on top. You can also get poke, broiled eel, or, if you’re really indecisive, the under $20 chirashi with the likes of chopped fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail, freshwater eel, and more. Take full advantage of the housemade smoky soy sauce, which is miles better than the regular supermarket stuff." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"The “bowl” in the name of this Fremont favorite refers to the restaurant’s many donburi (rice bowl) dishes, including tonkatsu (pork), short ribs, and sukiyaki. But the main draw is the reasonably priced chirashi-don, which features a generous portion of tuna, yellowtail, albacore, salmon, eel, shrimp, fatty tuna scrapings, and roe. Sibling restaurants called Donburi Station can be found in Georgetown and Bellevue." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff
"Offers an amazing value chirashi donburi with a wide variety of seafood over a generous amount of rice." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Bowls are economical, especially when they’re big and they can fit a lot of food. Fremont Bowl takes this concept and really runs with it—for around $15, they sell excellent donburi bowls filled to the brim with sushi rice and sashimi, teriyaki, or other toppings. It’s a very good value, particularly considering the high quality of the fish here. Make sure to use the (free) smoky housemade soy sauce." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano
