Fast casual Japanese food. Highly recommend the chicken teriyaki Donburi! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating and parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Been wanting to check out Donburi station for so long! Went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't busy. Ordered thru the kiosk which was convenient. I got the chirashi bowl and liked it! Some of the fish didn't seem as good quality tho. Salmon was the one i liked best!! I think next time i'd just go for the salmon bowl. There aren't plenty of seats, but they are available. They bring your food to you, but you bus the table yourself after. Overall, It's a nice little Japanese restaurant in Georgetown! read more

The Chirashi bowl was really yummy and the fish was fresh and not fishy at all. But you do order on an iPad and have to buss your own table afterwards. Would just be nice to get greeted and have my order taken instead of standing around looking a little dumb not knowing that's how it works. read more

The Donburi bowls were realllly good here. The fish all tasted fresh and they had options to add on extra sauces and sides(for extra$$). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store itself is pretty small but has a cute sign inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food came out pretty fast and the service was quick, would definitely come here again. The only thing I would note is that we didn't get any waters with our food when we dined in. read more

Absolutely wonderful chirashi bowl!!! Right near the airport if you're there on the corporate side. Cute little place, I asked if theyd work with me on the fish in the bowl and they were very accommodating and helpful. Not much to say except I'll be going back every time we get a flight to BFI. read more

This place took us right back to Tokyo! Small and a bit dark, order at a big computer and feel sort of confused at times. I never did figure out how to pay for drinks and there is literally no one to help you. Salad was excellent, loved the gingery dressing and very fresh. Hubs enjoyed his ramen. Now, we get to my unagi bowl. The fish was severely undercooked. I have never eaten unagi that had what looked like guts hanging off it, a bit chewy and slimy. I should have sent it back but the sauce was tasty, and I was starved. I couldn't finish it due to the ick factor and had to give some bites to my husband. Unheard of! I have loved unagi since I was a tyke. First time I couldn't eat it. That part did NOT remind me of Tokyo. read more

My favorite go to place for fast and easy Asian comfort food. Rice, meat and sauce is all I want sometimes. My favorite is the Teriyaki chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience feels like if I was in Japan and it's a quick easy takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went to this casual poke restaurant and thought it quite interesting unfortunately things didn't go right. The raw salmon and tuna were fresh but very mediocre. The service was disappointing. The waitress consistently placed trays of fresh food on the very edge of the table. Then coincidentally a table away from us a tray of food being served fell on the floor! For the price of the food I don't think it's worth the effort to come back. read more

My go-to order at Donburi station is a beef sukiyaki bowl with added unagi. At $16.25, the sukiyaki is not a cheap dinner, but it's tasty. The unagi adds a mere $2, and then one adds tax and tip. It's a dinner I often get on the way to SeaTac airport ... when picking someone up arriving in the evening. It's handy, and that's a time when parking isn't an issue (they do have a lot on the side of the store). One orders on-line ... typically, the on-line order says it'll be ready in 40 minutes, but in reality, it's usually much faster than that. read more

I don't know where Donburi station has been all my life because I just live up the hill from them and tried them for the first time ever! This place is amazing! They serve the freshest chirashi and seafood-- it's super tasty! It's small but very nice on the inside and staff were nice. Everything tastes SO good and they have nice convenient hours. I get off work at 6 and luckily they are open til 8:30pm daily, which is perfect. read more

This place is so yummy. Their fish is incredibly fresh and I loved their sushi rice. It has a ton of flavor and the portion was really filling. I got their chirashi bowl and would definitely get it again. Eel isn't normally my favorite, but their eel is really soft and flavorful. The inside is cute and quaint with an adequate amount of seating. Service was a bit slower, but I didn't mind the wait for how good the food was. They do close around 2pm, so make sure to get here before then! read more

Our order was ready on time and presentation was gorgeous. We got takeout, but they have some seating in the restaurant- very cutely decorated, by the way. Maguro Don: Tuna was delicious and had great flavor. Salad was...well, raw vegetables, but fresh. Rice, however, was overseasoned. Too vinegary and salty for my liking, especially if it's that big a portion. Wasabi had a bit of a chemical taste to it too. Chirashi Don: Not my order, but I was told the fish had a "low-quality texture". There was plenty of it though. Seared salmon Don (forgot official name): Salmon was well cooked and the yuzu soy was delicious. Same rice and wasabi though. For the price, it's a fair restaurant with fair food quality. Maybe try some of their cooked options, but do try them regardless- I'm known for being quite sensitive to salt so maybe it'll be fine for you :) read more

Donburi Station serves up a great chirashi bowl full of fresh, delicious fish for a very reasonable price. I thought it couldn't get any better, but I came back and tried the poke bowl and I was blown away by the fact that I liked it better than their chirashi bowl. I ordered it with the yuzu soy and yuzu mayo. On top of the already amazing quality fish, the sauces enhanced the flavor and took it to another level. If you're not a fan of raw fish, they also have other rice bowls and udon. My bf enjoyed their teriyaki bowls. It's easy to assume that parking in this area would be difficult, but they have a small, private lot so parking has not yet been an issue. read more

Donburi is like high quality fast food, it's very nice and easy. My only reason for four stars is the past two orders of the raw salmon bowl - there were big bones in a couple pieces of the salmon. I also think this could be a fluke and will report back after a few more rounds here. Ive eaten here a lot and this is a new occurrence. read more

Delicious Japanese food !! We loved the rice bowl with beef and unagi. The chicken katsu curry was also delicious. The rice bowls cost around $15-19 but they really large portions!! Plenty of rice with large amounts of meat. Definitely worth the price. FYI: bathroom is closed and seating is limited. There are about 6 bar stool seats and 3 small tables that seat 2 each. Parking: there's also a large free parking lot next door. read more

Love this spot for a quick lunch. The salmon rice bowl is my favorite. But the tonkatsu is also very good with a side of curry when I want something warm. Easy to order ahead but also easy to use their DIY screen in the shop. The food comes out quick and the seating is usually open enough to snag a spot. But it can get busy so be prepared to take it to go! If they ever opened up their outdoor seating that would be exciting too! read more

I thought this place was ok. I got the sukiyaki bowl + $2 add-on of unagi. Doing that add-on was not worth it for the 2 very small pieces of fish that had bone. Food was ok, not super flavorful in my opinion. My boyfriend got the volcano don and he didn't love it either. He said it tasted like a deconstructed sushi roll and it wasn't spicy either. Both of us felt like we should've gotten something else. Serving size was adequate though. About $37 for both bowls, including tax The place itself was clean with a couple of seats by the window in a bar format, and a few tables. Nice decor. Service was alright. The lady who took orders would sometimes disappear to do other work and you'd have to stand there and wait until she came back. Not sure if I'd come back considering the prices and lackluster flavors. However, the place quickly filled with dine-in customers shortly after opening at 4:30 and there were multiple take-out orders waiting for pickup on their counter, so this seems like a popular place...just maybe not for me. read more

Ordered the Chirashi, Gyoza, Seaweed Salad and a Miso Soup. The food was good as alway, very good indeed! The pricing of the Chirasi is also very reasonable considering the quality and the cuts of fish. Service is a bit chilly, let's just say the staff aren't exactly a chatty or over friendly bunch. Food is very good though! read more

I didn't realize this is a sister restaurant to Fremont Bowl! I got the chirashi bowl again here and their offerings are pretty much the same - sashimi was very fresh, and while the rice is slightly warm, that is not an issue when you consume it immediately. So the same applies here - do not do takeout if you want optimal freshness and deliciousness. Portion sizes here are a bit larger than what I recalled at Fremont Bowl, but this location is a little less accessible from the Seattle city center as a tradeoff. Parking is ample - you can park around Georgetown Brewing, and this is a convenient location to do both if you wish! read more

APIHM #9: My family and I were in the mood for poke but our regular spot was closed. Of course, I took it to Yelp to tell me where to do and Donburi popped up as #1. This hole in the wall is super easy to miss on Airport way (across the street from the Elysian Brewery and Taproom). This spot is pretty small with a small parking lot and some seating. When you walk in, there's a huge screen where you place your order but while I was waiting, lots of people came in for pick up orders. Honestly, that's what I'd do because the wait was a little long. When I tell you the fish was so fresh, it was! The quality was so so good. I got their poke bowl which came with tuna and salmon, pickled ginger, wasabi, masago and I opted for a bed of lettuce rather than rice. Compared to other poke spots, I appreciated that the main focus was the fish and not all the additional toppings and sauces to add. The service wasn't over the top friendly but they got the orders out and that's what I expected with how popular their grab-and-go style was. I would definitely come back. I honestly am surprised I've never heard of this place before! read more

This used to be The Cutting Board (which shut down due to COVID), my favorite sushi spot but has been replaced, for a long while now, by Donburi station. They have since, become my GO-TO every year for my birthday!! So delicious! Amazing quality of seafood. The rice in the chirashi bowl that I always order, is always cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Umami is a must-have for me. Croquettes we're crispy, delicate and flavorful. The service is alright. It'd be nice to see a smile on the young lady's face that works there. Orders come out quick. The inside is nice and clean and cute. You get your own choices at the table and self serve water. I will keep coming back! I love this place!! Food is AMAZING!!! read more

Fresh fish, the portion's are actually really filling. I recommend to get a side of fresh fish though

I came here on a weekday early evening for dinner. The space is quite small with very limited seating, but I was able to snag two seats at the bar counter lining the window. I had the udon and it came with a delicious broth and wonderfully cooked noodles. I'm excited to come back to try their other bowls and offerings. read more

Came here for a work lunch and I was absolutely happy with the quality of the fish here. I ordered the spicy tuna bowl and the spicy tuna sauce came out with a good proportion of mayo and spice level goodness. Decently priced quality fish bowl in Seattle is also hard to come by. As we sat, I watched the chef put lots of love into the food. Each slice of fish was delicately arranged on top of the rice. The place is more of a grab and go situation but they did have some limited seating for dine in. I will definitely be returning. read more

Love this spot for a quick and affordable chirashi bowl! The cuts of fish are a good size and all of them were of good quality. Their unagi don is a good deal as well. I wasn't a big fan of their poke bowls. They give ice berg lettuce and not much else vegetables, so it's very bland and light if you don't get it with rice. They have other great options to try if you aren't looking for fish. Self-serve kiosk makes it easy to order and food comes out relatively fast! read more

If you're craving sushi (like I was -- haha) before your flight out but wanted to get something "on the way"... look no further! Donburi station is tucked away in the surrounding area on your way to the SeaTac airport. There is a small private parking. It is easy to miss, so make sure to have your GPS on for guidance. We ordered a chirashi bowl and chicken Katsu bowl. Both were delish, filling and fulfilled our cravings. 10/10 recommend! Plus -- ask for extra eel sauce. I used it to mix in with the fish and rice. Trust me! read more

My hubby took me to here, Donburi station at Georgetown. There was a parking lot next door, but it was around 7 pm on Saturday and about two cars were vacant. There were no customers in the store, clean environment. A few times I saw people picking up what they ordered from the store. We didn't know where to order at first, so we asked the staff. There was a large flat screen and an ordering system. However, after choosing what I wanted to eat, I had to choose the sauce to proceed, and I was confused because I couldn't reach the checkout. My hubby wanted to eat Unagi donburi, but gave up because he couldn't choose the sauce. I didn't understand why he had to choose a sauce for Unagi donburi. So he chose the Volcano donburi and I chose the poke, but again I had to choose a sauce, so I called the staff. Finally we ordered 2 donburi. There are 3 tables in the store and water is self-service. We decided to eat at the store. Volcano donburi and Poke donburi come in disposable containers. Both bowls were satisfying with fresh ingredients, but didn't need the yuzu soy sauce I had the staff pick for me. In the middle of eating, three women came into the store and tried to order, but staff told them to do it on the screen. Like us, they couldn't order on the screen easily and had to call the staff. We had to move to the next table during the meal because of ladies. All the women's orders were also in disposable containers, and I was stunned when the miso soup was brought in a shallow plastic container. There are only three staff in the kitchen, so I figured using disposable containers would be useful. But I would like miso soup in a bowl. I hope the staff will assist the customer in ordering on that screen. we will come again to eat donburi. read more

I love how this place is across the street from Elysian taproom. It's basically walking distance! YAY! I've never been here but I read on Yelp that the chirashi bowl is the thing to get and my fellow Yelp'ers never disappoint! Their chirashi bowl was pretty darn good. Yes come here! read more

Super cute and quaint place to catch up with friends over dinner. There's a large screen for you to order your food. Ordering the food was quick and easy. It definitely helped that there were pictures of each meal on the screen. I got the volcano donburi which included spicy salmon and spicy crab salad topped with masago. My boyfriend got the chicken katsu donburi and my friend got the chicken teriyaki donburi. The prices were reasonable and affordable. I tried everyone's bowl and you can't go wrong with any donburi there. read more

Prices are actually cheaper than online - super affordable for a quick lunch. The ambiance is exactly as advertised, a quick to go lunch spot with a variety of tasty fresh fish offerings. Today I had their dynamite unagi poke bowl, which took about 10 minutes from the order all together. Service was very kind, and allowed me time to deliberate (there was no line!). The upside of this restaurant is that it doesn't try to out-do itself, it sticks to simple menu items and presents a few variations on them. The fish is fresh, which is everything I wanted, and avocado was a nice poke bowl addition - usually would cost you an extra few in Seattle! Overall, it's not a location I would trek miles to eat at, but I will 100% come back if I'm passing by downtown Seattle, or for a busy work day meal. read more

I had this place saved for months like others! Never had a chance to try it before yesterday, when I was in Georgetown for a paid research study and realized Donburi Station was only a short walk from where the study was taking place. I was super glad to see they were open and serving lunch on a Tuesday! I went for a chirashi bowl and got edamame and seaweed salad on the side. WOW. I have zero complaints. Everything was super fresh, and there was a good ratio of rice to fish. For the price ($15.95) the bowl is a steal compared to other similar chirashi options in Seattle. The edamame was warm and salty, and the portion size was generous. I took my lunch to enjoy at nearby Jellyfish Brewing, and highly recommend doing that since they let you bring your own food! But wherever you eat this, you'll be sure to enjoy it. read more

SO. FRIKIN. GOOD. We tried the Volcano Bowl ($12.95) and Unagi-Gyu Don ($17.45). We used UberEats so things were obviously a few dollars more than the menu prices I mentioned above. The portions are pretty large and they don't skimp on the toppings. The rice is fluffy and amazing. The unagi-gyu don was hearty and flavorful - the rice was soaked in the rich delicious broth. Volcano bowl had a mound of spicy crab and salmon on top of fresh sushi rice. They came well packaged. Overall a very satisfying meal :) read more

Service: Despite having so many orders they still got our order put in a reasonable time. Currently no dine in, so not much to say on this topic. Food: It was soooooo good! I got a Chirashi Bowl and Miso soup. The Miso soup was really good! Way better than my homemade Miso soup. I would order it again if I'm craving. The Chirashi bowl was also really good! There was so much fresh fish, and they were cut into nice thick slices. The sushi rice was seasoned pretty good too and you get a lot of rice! Still ate the rice after incorrectly portioning my fish to rice ratio . It also comes with house soy which I actually really liked, super yummy overall. And great portion size. Have to come back to try other menu items. Price: Very reasonably priced! Quickly scanning over the menu, I was really impressed. Miso soup was 1.95 and Chirashi was about 16.45 if I recall correctly. TL;DR: Awesomr price. Fresh ingredients. Good portion size. Chirashi bowl and Miso is so good, must order! read more

I was craving a Chirashi Bowl for lunch and decided to go to one of my favorite go-to places, Donburi Station. There's a nice-sized parking lot right before Donburi Station at the corner since Donburi Station is at a small corner. There isn't a ton of seating so you might have to take your meal to-go. You order on the pad and they bring your food to you nicely presented. Service was excellent and the ambiance is very causal. We ordered the Chirashi Bowl and the Mix Kastu Don. The Chirashi Bowl is always delicious and served with the freshest fish. The salmon is always a favorite and the sushi rice is perfectly seasoned. Next time, I am excited to try half salad and half rice Chirashi bowl instead of all rice. The Mix Kastu Don is a combination of Chicken Kastu and Tonkatsu. Both are equally juicy and cooked to perfection. If you're ever looking for a great lunch/dinner spot, check out Donburi Station. read more
