But what foodies enjoy most here is the chirashi bowl, with generous portions of fresh tuna, salmon, freshwater eel, yellowtail and more. This casual counter-serve joint also dishes out poke bowls if that’s how you’d prefer to enjoy your seafood.

“A pastiche of how Seattle eats right now would look a lot like this: subway tile, crowds awaiting takeout. So much poke. But before raw fish salad seized our fast-casual imaginations, there was chirashi. This Japanese comfort food spot surfs a breaker of buzz thanks to its version—rice blanketed with an almost obscene amount of raw fish. Salmon, three types of tuna, shrimp, and broiled eel glisten on Instagram, but the reality is every bit as vivid and pleasurable as the social media imagery. The donburi, rice bowls topped with rich broiled eel, seared salmon, or tonkatsu satisfy on a more visceral, if less photogenic level.”

Fremont Bowl’s Chirashi is taking the internet & Instagram by storm for a rainbow of reasons

Huge variety, big slices of fresh fish, and a delightful presentation that’s easy on the wallet are all reasons to pay a visit to Fremont Bowl.

Author: Ellen Meny
Published: 9:37 AM PDT October 18, 2018 | Updated: 2:26 PM PDT October 19, 2018

“Seattle — If you’re a frequent browser of Seattle food Instagrams, chances are you’ve already seen this dish- artfully prepared, filled with sushi rice and crowned with fish. It’s been on the New York Times, Eater.com, and thousands of Instagram pages.

This is the chirashi bowl from Fremont Bowl. And it’s enjoying a moment in the spotlight.

Fremont Bowl opened about a year ago, and since then, it’s attracted the attention of foodies across the nation. Steven Ducky, who runs the popular @seattlefoodieadventure Instagram page, is one of them.

‘My initial opinion was that the presentation was on-point,’ Ducky says. ‘It’s big! And the colors- it was so Instagram-worthy!’

Ducky usually prefers to discover restaurants on his own, but he first saw Fremont Bowl on the website Eater. After that, it began popping up across his Instagram feed. He thinks the dish is so popular because of three major things- the appearance, the affordable price, and the generous portions.

‘The fish slices are really big,’ Ducky says. ‘You have so many options on the plate. And you have, what 6, 7 different types of fish?’

And it’s pretty darn delicious, of course. That’s another big reason why Fremont Bowl is growing in popularity.”

REVIEW: Fremont Bowl

By Aimee Rizzo | Original Post

“Sushi is great. But when you’re starving, it can get expensive. Enter Fremont Bowl, a new casual Japanese spot specializing in donburi bowls (high-quality fish on top of rice). Nothing here is more than $15, and you will absolutely not be hungry afterward, making this a good, if small, spot for a lunch or low-key weeknight dinner. The friendly service is also a plus. Two things you shouldn’t miss here: their smoky homemade soy sauce, and the bowl with seared salmon that cuts like softened butter.”

Fremont Bowl offers much more than fresh poke bowls

JUNE 15, 2018
by REBECCA MONGRAIN

“In a city filled with poke bowls, sushi restaurants and more seafood than one can throw a stick at, along comes Fremont Bowl. Taking over the space where Suga and Dot’s Delicatessen once resided, Fremont Bowl has already made an impression in the few months they’ve been open. You won’t find dressed up poke or complicated rolls here. This place works on delicious simplicity with a focus on fresh fish and unique flavors.”

“The simple menu features Japanese-style rice bowls, or donburi, with raw fresh fish along side chicken teriyaki or chicken katsu. Their featured (and most popular) dish is the chirashi which comes as a bowl of rice piled with a delightful array of raw fish, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, eel and shrimp. The bowl is accompanied by a dollop of fresh wasabi and yuzu kosho.”

Fremont Bowl

“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.”

“Last year’s poke craze has left many of us unexcited about yet another new restaurant serving bowls of raw fish. Yet Fremont Bowl (where Suga and, before that, Dot’s Delicatessen were located) manages to delight with simple Japanese-style rice bowls, or donburi, that feature fresh raw fish or ingredients such as chicken teriyaki.

The chirashi ($14.95)—a bowl of rice piled with a rainbow of raw fish, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, eel and more, accented with a single shiso leaf and fresh wasabi—has earned the most fans, for good reason. It brings a joy similar to what’s experienced at an omakase sushi dinner, but you can inhale it during a lunch break.

Pro tip: Avoid long lines by calling in your order and picking it up; there is limited seating. The downside? You’ll miss out on the house-made soy sauce available in the restaurant.”

On the upside, this Seattle spot offers generous donburi bowls at an affordable price from a team of chefs who admit to having what they call a “slight” food obsession. Bowling is good, but it’s hard to beat six veggie gyoza dumplings for $3.50.”

Fremont Bowl: a New Japanese Comfort Food Destination

By Tracy Wang – February 27, 2018

“Located in Fremont, Fremont Bowl, a Japanese comfort food restaurant, opened its front door to customers on November 20th, 2017. Since then, it has served many donburi bowls to customers coming from all over Washington State. With its concept set on ‘delicious, quantity, affordable’, it strives to create a comfortable space where residents living close to the restaurant and all the rest of the customers can have a new foodie destination on Japanese comfort food.

In order to bring in authentic Japanese comfort food, and to fulfill its owner’s wish in creating a Japanese comfort food restaurant, the team of Fremont Bowl went to Japan last year to learn more about what Japanese comfort food is; it turns out it means the food people quickly grab and eat in a restaurant before they go to work. An almost-Japanese-fast-food style of food, it is meant to be delicious, fast, and cheap. Carrying what they observed and learned in Japan to Seattle, Fremont Bowl is determined to create delicious and affordable food that are also good in quantity right here in Seattle…”

“I swore I wouldn’t go into another poke joint for a long time. But after hearing about Fremont Bowl, I broke my promise to myself. Well, not completely, because while poke is on offer there, so are a number of other bowls and snacks, defined by the restaurant as ‘Japanese Comfort Food.’…

Here, the perfectly seasoned rice was topped with beautiful raw slices of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and albacore, as well as cooked freshwater eel, shrimp, a delicious, addictive heap of chopped fatty tuna, and masago with fresh wasabi. Adding to the overall freshness of the fish was a smidge of yuzu kosho to mix into your soy/wasabi dipping sauce. Yuzu kosho may be the next rage in condiments; a Japanese paste that consists of chili pepper, yuzu (Asian citrus), and salt, it’s a tangy, sweet, sour, spicy burst that enlivens your taste buds without numbing them…”

“Fremont Bowl in Fremont: The main draw is the Instagram-friendly chirashi bowl, a collage of sashimi with different colors, textures and flavors. This Japanese spot is one of the most talked-about openings in recent months. Portions are huge. And the sashimi is neither fishy-smelling nor slimy like many cheap chirashi bowls and happy-hour sushi. Those who hate sushi (is that even possible?!) can always go for the teriyaki or katsu chicken. Note the restaurant uses Canadian Atlantic salmon instead of wild salmon for its rice bowls.”
