    Volcano Don
    Max K.

    Wow! This place is great, I've been in the area for a while and don't know how I missed it these years! I think it's hard to stumble upon, but I'm sure glad I did! This is the freshest sashimi in Georgetown! So tasty! My friend and I got the chirashi bowl, volcano bowl, and the short ribs bowl. As well as the miso soup! It was all really tasty, but honestly way more food than we needed. Glad we got to try it all though! Our favorite was the chirashi bowl. It was really good and the fish was so fresh! I also really liked the short ribs, they were not so sweet like many these day. It is a quiet interior and everyone was really kind. Great place to catch up with a friend! It seems like a lot of what they do is take out or Uber Eats/door dash but I highly recommend coming in person and enjoying the meal fresh! Can't wait to come back!

    Order at the tablet find a spot and wait for your delicious food to come out. Stopped here for lunch and was absolutely impressed with the quality of everything that we had. My team member had a short ribs, which looked absolutely amazing. Great service with a good ambiance.

    Aburi Sake Don

    Might be the minority here and say it's just average. Was hungry and passing through the area and saw they had a seared salmon bowl (Aburi Sake Don). The taste was unfortunately very bland, no significant sear in the salmon, and the soy sauce didn't add anything memorable to the bowl. The Una-Gyu Don wasn't bad, but the broiled eel with sukiyaki just wasn't special enough to make you crave it again. The location has a parking lot next door at least. Internally the dining space is narrow and fills up quickly at opening times in the weekend. Order at the counter or kiosk, and they'll deliver the food to your table, which you bus yourself at the end.

    Walking into this cute little shop somehow brings me memories of my time in Tokyo. They have automatic Japanese voice greetings when you walk in and order and Japanese music playing in the background. Everything is self serve and easy to order. Chirashi bowl (5/5) For the price, you just can't beat it anywhere else. It's totally worth it with 5 different kinds of sushi, shrimp and eel and roe. The fish tastes fresh and the wasabi is strong. Amazing price, generous portion, excellent quality. Unagyu don (4/5) This bowl has a mix of tender beef and eel and it's quite heavy on the sauce. I wouldn't say it's very salty but it is saucy and you need to mix it with the rice properly to balance it out. The portion is generous and it is very filling. Not bad but I'd go for the chirashi every time.

    Food and services always excellent. Lunch time might be a little overwhelming for u guys to find parking but most of the time people pick up togo. But now they have tables for dine in section. Everything is good in theri menu but my favorite is always chirashi cause you havw a little bit of everything.

    Georgetown has some nice hidden gems and I would consider this one of them... just good, no-nonsense Japanese rice bowls of comfort. If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!

    Tried Donburi Station and really enjoyed it. They're from the same owner as Fremont Bowl, which we're frequent customers of, so we had high expectations going in. We ordered the Una Gyu Don and the short ribs yakiniku don. Both were super flavorful and satisfying. Only downside was that the dishes leaned a bit salty for our taste. The decor is cute, staff were nice and welcoming, and overall it's a solid spot. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch or dinner!

    TLDR: Fresh, large portioned, and great value donburi bowls in South Seattle Food: I had the chirashi bowl and it came packed with a variety of fresh fish on top of sushi rice. The menu also includes specific fish donburi (salmon, tuna, etc.) and hot items like tonkatsu. Service/Ambiance: The restaurant isn't a huge space, but has a variety of tables to sit and eat. The staff was friendly and took our orders at the front with water being self service. Price: The chirashi was a great value, coming out at around $20 for a large portion

    Chirashi and Green Salad (V)

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. I'm so glad I went today. I ordered the chicken katsu don for my boyfriend and I ordered the chirashi bowl with green salad. My soul has been restored! Omg this is what I've needed in a long while. The chirashi bowl is perfect having tuna, chopped fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, shrimp, fresh water eel, masago with fresh wasabi! I mean WOW! Not bad for the price too! My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his chicken katsu don as well. It looked so good but I saved myself for my chirashi bowl. The salad is a simple salad but with their ginger dressing. The dressing is great and it compliments my chirashi so well. It's not too sweet, and the ginger doesn't overpower the rest of the dressing or the salad. I ordered this to go, but they have a small and very cute dining area. There is 2 hour parking around the building. The staff were super friendly! There was a little bit of a wait because they had so many orders to go and well as some dine-in patrons. I don't mind waiting for good food and I'd wait for this any day! I cannot wait to try their udon and other offerings. I told my man we need to dine in to try it fresh even if it's only 15 mins away from us.

    I arrived right as they opened and parked in the small parking lot adjacent to the business. An elderly couple raced in before me as they saw me approaching the restaurant and frantically used the computer station to place their order. Joke's on them because the woman behind the counter took my order and sent it through before the couple finished theirs . I ordered the chirashi and the unagi don, plenty of food and the unagi don was a lot of eel! The fish was also a substantial portion. I think if I returned it could be nice to have a chirashi that had more fish but the same amount of rice. The service was very quick ( so not sure why the couple was so intense about getting there ahead of me). And I think it's a great value for the amount of food. This place is casual and I think perfect for a quick lunch!

    Donburi Station offers quick Japanese rice bowls that are tasty and worth the price you pay for. The place is quite casual -- you walk in, order on the iPad, your food comes, and then you bus your own table. Our table got a variety of bowls and everyone enjoyed their dishes. I enjoyed the chirashi bowl and eel the most! All of the fish tasted fresh and the sushi rice was just right. Service was quick and workers greeted us when we entered and left.

    We enjoyed our takeout. Everything tasted fresh. We had take out and it hit the spot.

    Just as good as the Bellevue location! I went to Donburi Station with family earlier this month as a pitstop before the Georgetown morgue haunted house. We've eaten at the Bellevue location many times and the food is amazing, so I wasn't skeptical. Coming here as expected Donburi station Seattle was exceptional. Let's get into the actual review. Ambiance The Seattle location feels small, but it's not; it's kind of shaped like an L when you exclude the kitchen and there are a few tables in the front, but the majority of the tables are along the wall all the way back to the back of the restaurant. In the fall/winter it does get chilly, so I recommend not sitting too close to the door. I did like the set up with that said I think they can probably improve by adding additional traditional Japanese art on the wall. Food The food was banging. Getting the spare rib bowl is nonnegotiable, but I decided to get the salmon bowl instead... one of the best decisions I've made this year. The salmon was cooked to perfection and blending it with the rice and the soy sauce turned my mouth into a house party. I'll probably add the salmon dish into my rotation moving forward. Service The service was OK. There were a few times where I tried to get the attention of the staff, and I locked eyes with the cooks in the back and they didn't try to get the cashier or manager's attention for me. That was a little disappointing. Outside of that, the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. All in all, I give this restaurant for all the five stars, would definitely recommend!

The udon was perfect: gooey hard boiled eggs, huge ebi katsu, chewy noodles and the same comforting curry. The chicken katsu was good but the chicken was on the dry side for me. My boyfriend was very pleased with the curry and katsu saying that we had to come back and try the other dishes. The iced green tea was refreshing, the salad's dressing for the side salad was pleasant and the miso soup had tofu, seaweed and green onion so it was excellent! Definitely recommend this spot to those who enjoy Japanese cuisine.

The popular sashimi plate had sockeye salmon, scallops, king salmon, yellowtail, snapper, and shima aji. 3-4 slices per fish so total about 20ish pieces for $ 75 dollars. Also included salmon roe. Ask which fish is in the plate since it seems to change. Service was good. They serve distilled water which is appropriate for eating raw dish so you actually taste the fish and not the tap water. The star of the night was the miso black cod. Soft buttery and flavorful. Just enough miso to bring out the sweetness of the fish. Some may find it not flavorful enough. It depends on if you are looking for fish flavor or seasoning flavor in my opinion. The only down side is that it's a fatty cut of fish so by the third piece it can be a bit heavy. Ended up cutting the fat with a bit of lemon toward the end and using the shredded pink diakon. For the price of $ 17 dollars, it is quite a good deal as other spots in the area would charge more or give less.

    I found out about the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle 20 minutes before I ate there for the…read morefirst time. I was around the corner (literally) at a cafe, learning about the history of Seattle's Japantown, when I decided to look up recommendations of restaurants in the district to eat at. Maneki came up, and right after I read about how difficult it is to eat there as a walk-in without a reservation, I looked at the time and realized they were about to open for the evening. So I thought, "challenge accepted," and was in front of their doors in about 30 seconds. There was no one waiting and I was pretty shocked; it wasn't until 5:00 on the nose that other people walked up and got in line behind me, most without reservations. So if you're trying to do a walk-up, don't wait until 5:00 to get in line. Get there early. The owner was nice when I told her I didn't have a reservation and she said while all her tables were full, she had bar seating open if I was interested. I said yes, so I was seated in the Hannya Room (and happened to be wearing my Yakuza Majima sukajan with a hannya on the back) with a handful of other people (bar seating is very limited, maybe 12 seats tops, and the room is very narrow). The bartender was cool and offered to take our phones and take photos of the specials on the wall in the foyer so we all didn't have to walk back over there. I actually ended up getting one of the specials, the chicken katsu cutlet with beef curry. From the regular menu, I got a yaki onigiri and some gyoza (which are described as grandma's recipe and handmade), and from the bar I ordered the reggae punch cocktail (Iichiko saiten shochu, peach schnapps, and cold brew oolong tea). The regular menu is extensive, with a lot of comfort dishes and signature dishes I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you want meat or seafood, there's something for everyone here. The meal was absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't care for, unfortunately, was the yaki onigiri, because I felt the shoyu they used was just way too sweet. Yaki onigiri is one of my most favorite things on the planet, and Ippuku in Berkeley makes them perfectly. I was expecting the one at Maneki to be on that level, but I was disappointed. But other than that, the curry had great flavor and bit of a kick of heat, and wasn't skimpy on the beef. Lots of potato, too. The katsu was breaded and fried perfectly and the cutlet was pretty generously sized. The gyoza were great, not oily, each one stuffed with meat. I enjoyed the reggae punch and would order it again. I also ordered a glass of iced oolong, so I was feeling pretty refreshed on this warm afternoon with my two drinks. The bartender, who was handling both drinks and food service, was a nice guy with a good sense of humor. The owner also chatted with me on my way out and gave me a little history about why they decided to name the bar the Hannya Room, and some background on all the hannya masks on the wall in the bar. I'd love to come back here the next time I'm in Seattle, but especially to be able to dine in one of the tatami rooms. This was a great meal and it was awesome being able to support this important part of the local history of Seattle's Japantown.

My only gripe is the usual one. Seattle prices. The wings plus banh mi and a soda came to $30.50 with tax and tip. (I did have leftovers for later, so I did get a meal and a half out of it). The tipping options START at 20% on their point-of-sale (POS) tablet. There's probably a custom option, but I didn't bother since I normally tip 20% anyway. But it's a little pushy to start your tipping options at what is usually the upper limit for most people. This place is solid. I'm sure it's a godsend for tenants in the nearby apartments. And being centrally located, it's really not hard to get to. Next time your going to or from the eastside via I-90 bridge...go a few extra blocks north and get your grub on here.

    A rare case of a hype-y aesthetic cafe being truly memorable and worth repeat visits. The milk…read morejelly is totally unlike anything else I've had in Seattle, both fun and tasty to drink. I'm not a coffee person, but the hojicha flavor worked really well for me too. Admittedly, the place is pricey. I can justify the cost of the drinks more than the toast...but at the same time the space is not really designed for dine in so I'm perfectly content carrying out a drink only. Service is very friendly!

    I wanted to like this place since I love matcha & jellies in my drink. It is a unique concept. The…read moredrinks size is a bit small for the price you pay. I didn't like my drink either. I got the matcha jelly + matcha latte. The drink overall barely had any matcha taste. I would understand if the matcha jelly didn't have a strong matcha taste, but the matcha latte part should have. I also have chalky bits in my drink that made it bitter. Maybe I should have gotten another drink. I also tried the jelly coffee + affogato & it was better. It was creamy with the icecream & the espresso wasn't too strong. The service was good & the drinks came out in a timely manner. The space was modern & minimalist with a couple of tables. It was a little gross that there were some flies throughout the store. I'm not sure if it was due to them having the doors opened. Overall, the drinks are alright & overpriced.
