I really appreciate how fast and efficient Dennis is. The food is always good and the line moves fast which is why it can get so long today I tried the udon and it was just what I needed on a rainy day I enjoy the radical bowl too

Went here for the first time today, and absolutely loved it. Got the UW Bowl and enjoy it a lot! The tempura stayed wonderfully crispy even after walking the distance I have to back to my office. Absolutely recommend

First time going and ordered the Hae Dop Bap which was fantastic. Great quality of fish and the spice was perfect.

Perfect portion and taste! I ordered a Unagi bowl and a Spicy Tuna bowl. Both were very tasty and filled with tons of vegetables and good meat portions. I highly recommend them. I came around 11 to avoid traffic, and the service was speedy.

I was looking for something not so heavy; this was the perfect choice. I got #22: the one with salmon and tuna. It was absolutely delicious. "S3x in the mouth" would be the most appropriate phrase to go with the food here. I even got another one for my dinner as well. 1000000% recommend.

Holy moly guacamole! This might be my favorite thing I've eaten in all of downtown Seattle! The restaurant is tiny, more of a to go spot. Very busy during the lunch rush but they handled the crowd with ease. I got the bulgogi and teriyaki bowl which was immaculate. Everything is layered, meat on top, veggies in the middle and rice on the bottom...creating the perfect fusion of goodness. It was amazing. This will become a regular spot for me moving forward! A must visit!
