    Beef scallion taco-- tastes better than it looks
    Anna P.

    A delightful little hole in the wall! I was intrigued by the sandwich board outside advertising scallion pancake tacos and decided to stop by for a snack. First, this place is tiny and has one guy working there. Luckily, he is a great guy, and very efficient. His recommendation of beef topping was spot on, and he asked about and listened to my preferences. Absolutely delicious and larger than expected. I am definitely going to have to come back to try their bowls. Wheelchair access: no steps to get inside.

    This place is perfect is you're looking for a quick, affordable, and filling to-go meal on the west side! It is incredibly small inside with only the ingredient counter and 3 barstools. The prices are hard to beat - a bowl with rice, veggies, and meat was under $12. The only downside is that the counter uses loose shakers so toppings like sesame seeds fall into the other ingredients, so this location is definitely not cross contamination allergy safe.

    I had never been here before and a lot the restaurants that I used to frequent are no longer around because of the pandemic and new ones are moving in, smaller spaces, no seating to really speak of. Fortune Bowl is new and caught my eye and I looked over their menu. You can either order one of their signature bowls or customize your own bowl. I opted for the later since it was the first time. You start with your base, which can be sushi or brown rice, mixed greens of zucchini noodles. To this you add your protein [chicken, tofu or beef] add hot or cold toppings if desired, some crunch and a selection of sauces [of the 8 listed, 3 are hot.] Drinks are available along with a selection of dumplings. I went for the customized bowl [brown rice] with 2 proteins [herb roasted chicken and charred chicken thigh] hot topping [stir fry mushroom and onion] cold toppings [cheese, some lettuce] crunch [ garlic crisp] and my sauce was the lime cilantro. It was ready quickly and was very good. The place is small and clean, there is minimum counter space-i think enough for two people without being in the way. It was towards the end of the day when I was there so I had no problems sitting at the counter. I liked it, it was reasonably priced, quick, delicious and I would return to investigate other options on the menu.

    Solo person in the spot and just intentionally ignored me and added tomato's and slobbered my food in sauce. Refused to make a new order and found out i had a hair in one if them.

    Grilled Shrimp Ramen Noodle

    I stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch and I'm so glad I did. I got the grilled shrimp noodle bowl and it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back. Friendly service also!

    Bowl tasted like it was made in someone's musty basement. Threw half I'm the trash. Would not recommend.

Lunch entrees come with choice of soup or salad. I had the Seafood Hot and Sour soup and it was fabulous. Just the right amount of spice and tart. Spicy Tuna rolls were very good and my favorite was the Yellow Tail with jalapeño roll. Portions were big and the $13.75 price was more than reasonable. A 3 roll lunch is only $17.75 and there are many choices all under $18. Everything was so good here. I know I'll be back

The soup was nothing special, so I think I'd opt for a side salad next time instead. The bowl was packed with an impressive variety of toppings, including salmon, peanuts, fried onions, avocado, oshinko, tamago, and seaweed salad, all topped with a sesame dressing. While I appreciated the generous portions and the freshness of the salmon and vegetables, the bowl felt a bit heavy overall. There was a lot going on, and I found the amount of fried onions and peanuts to be more than necessary. The sesame dressing was tasty, though there was a bit too much of it for my preference. I also noticed that the tamago and seaweed salad tasted premade and a bit sugary, which took away from the light, fresh quality I usually look for in sushi. However, I know that sweetness is fairly common for those ingredients, and I think many people would like this hearty style of poke. Since the fish itself was fresh, I would happily order from here again and will round up to 4 stars, though I'll stick to their regular rolls next time to keep things a bit lighter.
