" After hearing so many good things about Beyond The Bowl, I was eager to try their poke bowl. The environment was mostly casual and clean, with friendly staff. Unfortunately, I was a bit underwhelmed by the flavor of my bowl; it was good but not mind-blowing. I also thought the fish portion could’ve been more generous for the price. I would visit again to see if my experience improves and try some other dishes they offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying I’m a bit picky about my poke. But honestly, Beyond The Bowl really impressed me! The salmon was fresh and well-prepared, bursting with flavor. The customization options were plentiful, which made it easy to create my ideal bowl. I was also pleased with the atmosphere; it felt cozy and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back meal. While I ordered a lot, I thought the prices were reasonable given the quality. Highly recommending it to anyone who loves poke! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to swing by for a quick bite after reading some rave reviews. I tried their udon, and while it was decent, it didn’t quite have the depth of flavor that I expected from a good udon dish. On the flip side, the poke bowl was beautiful, with fresh ingredients layered attractively. Just wished it came with a bit more fish for what I paid. Overall, it’s a great concept but could use a bit of polish in execution. Hope to see improvements because the potential is clear! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Beyond The Bowl is always a treat! I consistently leave satisfied after trying their delicious poke bowls. Customizing is a highlight for me. The portion sizes are fairly decent, and I have always appreciated how fresh their ingredients are. The staff is polite and quite attentive to needs. However, on my last visit, I noticed a slight drop in the ambiance; it felt slightly busier and louder than before, but this didn’t detract from my experience too much. I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Beyond The Bowl was nearly perfect. I ordered a poke bowl, and I have to say, it was one of the freshest I've had! The ingredients felt very authentic, and I loved how customizable it was. The servers were friendly and attentive, ensuring our waters were filled promptly. The dining area was clean and had a cozy feel to it. The only downside was the limited dessert options – but the desserts they do have are fantastic. I can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend of mine brought me to Beyond The Bowl for lunch, and I was flooded with excitement to try the poke! The experience started out great with a friendly staff member welcoming us. I chose the signature bowl for my meal, and as soon as it arrived, I was impressed by its presentation. Everything was fresh, yet I felt it could have used some more seasoning to enhance the flavors. The portions were decent, but slightly smaller than I had anticipated for the price. Altogether, it’s a nice spot just lacking that extra flair. I'd likely stop by again when I’m back in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Beyond The Bowl is definitely THE place to go for poke in the Seattle area. From the build your own bowl option, which allows for so much customization, to the freshness of the ingredients, it really ticks all the boxes. I’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The service is generally quick and friendly, though there have been peak times when they get overwhelmed. I particularly love their spicy tuna bowl, which has just the right amount of kick! Their desserts, especially the green tea lava cake, are also a must-try. Can't recommend this spot enough!
