    It's a bit like boiling point if you get the hotpot. There is a huge selection if you want to make your own though. There are other food options too. You order online through the QR code and pay through there too. The interior was alright. Nothing too special it's pretty casual. The popcorn chicken was good and I really like the mantou (fried buns) with the condensed milk which I believe is pandan flavored? The hot pot was definitely filling though and had many things in it.

    Beef Noodle Soup

    Everything here is so good. I came here during Seattle Restaurant Week and was already planning on coming back before I finished my meal. The restaurant has a casual ambiance (with a strong bamboo theme that I thought was fun) and the service was very attentive. Food -Taiwanese spicy: Perfect amount of mala flavor and great mix of various toppings. I loved that the hot pot is single-serving instead of a shared style so that people can order different things or just eat their own meal. -Beef noodle soup: Broth was very flavorful without leaning too heavy on a spice. Hard to go wrong with this one -Spicy wontons: Yum! Surprisingly juicy fillings for a non-dumpling place -Taiwanese pork bun: The pork was cooked perfectly and the sauce it comes with is so good -Custard bun: The custard is amazing without being too sweet -Mantou: Came out perfectly warm and delicious

    Taiwanese Pork Bun was so good. I packed the remaining qty 1 to go. Still so good the day after.

    This place reminds me a lot of Boiling Point except only better! Because they have alcohol!! Of course, I was also very pleased about the whole experience here because of the following - 1. Their service was super nice. The waitress even came out of the store to point me to where the parking lot was when I called so I could park for free! FYI - free parking across the street of the Crawfish King. 2. They put a lot of ingredients in the pot! My mom ordered the Herbal Bakuteh hot pot which came with two huge braised ribs and many quail eggs. I ordered the Miso Sesame hot pot which had shrimps that were very good sizes and also chashu. I didn't need to order any additional meats. 3. The green tea that came with the hotpot was in a container that could be carried away (not a normal bubble tea cup though but better IMO). We ordered more to-go as well as asked for boxes for the remaining food. Their materials for these to-go boxes and bags were not cheap. Their menu has extensive selections from appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks, to hot pots. If you are hungry for some Taiwanese food, this is def the place you need to try!

    Delicious! I'm so glad I decided to come here before my flight out of Seattle--what a meal as a send off! There's not a lot of Taiwanese food easily available in Austin so I had to get my fill in Seattle. I really enjoyed the braised pork over rice! The pork was delicious prepared very well and the pickled veg was a nice accompaniment. I also had the popcorn chicken which was fantastic. The basil and five spice flavor is delicious. The chicken was fried well. The green onion pancake (with egg) was also yummy. I thought it was a tad doughy but overall delicious.

    Loved the make your own hot pot option! The miso sesame broth was delicious. Next time I will request that the bowl be presented without the fire underneath, so that I can eat it quicker and because I did not enjoy the scent of the fire. Fast and friendly service.

    Braised pork belly over noodles
    Brian T.

    So my wife and I went to a Yelp event at Gourmet Bowl, and we decided to come back because we thoroughly enjoyed the food. We were crossing our fingers that the food at the event wasn't a fluke. Well, as proud Taiwanese people, this place serves pretty dang good Taiwanese food. It's just sad that it's around the outskirts of ID, for it should be getting more publicity and recognition than some other nearby existing restaurants. My wife and I ordered quite a feast here, so we got: Braised pork belly over noodle Beef noodle soup Fried intestines Pork blood I don't even like intestines that much, but when I had it at the Yelp event, I was enthralled. I couldn't stop eating it. Well, today was no different, and the intestines were solid. Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand, but it was so good and crunchy. For my braised pork belly, the noodles were actually really favorable and delicious, and the veggies were great too. My only qualm was that the meat wasn't cooked very well, and it seemed like it was older meat - pretty sinewy and tough. The beef noodle soup was very similar feeling. The soup was actually really nice and there was a nice little kick to it, and the noodles were good too. Problem was the meat unfortunately. My wife demolished the pork blood, as that not my favorite Taiwanese xiao chi (little bite). All in all, really solid place that deserves more recognition and love. My wife and I both nodded to each other in agreement that this is probably the best Taiwanese food in the Seattle area (Facing East in Bellevue doesn't count, and it's really good over there too). Definitely worth a try!

    Luckily I found this gem for Seattle Food week, because they're offering delicious food and good prices year round! They offer a wide variety of Taiwanese comfort foods like hot pot, scallion pancakes, and of course Taiwanese beef noodle soup which was perfect in the cold weather! The beef broth was light but still packed with flavor, the slices of beef were tender but had a nice bite to it, the spicy wontons on the side were small but mighty dumplings, and the mantou (fried doughnut with condensed milk) wasn't overly sweet and rounded out the meal!

    TAIWANESE PORK BUN (3PC)
    Brittany W.

    It was a cold rainy night and we were in the mood for some hot spicy soup, and ended up finding this place on Yelp. There's only street parking available, but it isn't near the center of the ID, so we were able to find parking really easily out front. There was no one else inside when we arrived so we were seated right away. We ordered the pork buns to share and each of us built our own hot pots. The meat in the buns was a little soggy and lacked seasoning, so it was underwhelming BUT the hot pot was delicious. The broth had just the right amount of spice and there was a lot of food for the price (definitely worth it to build your own). Overall the meal was really inexpensive (we were pleasantly surprised) so we will definitely be coming back and building our own hot pots again!

    Pork Intestine and fried Salted Pepper Crispy Squid
    Wendy K.

    Came here for lunch with friends on Friday. My friend treated us he's friends with the owner. I'm going to save the last star for when I dine here on my own and pay myself. Our friend was giving us a little background Taiwanese cuisine. I was going to get the chicken katsu but after hearing they're known for their braised meats I changed to the braised meat combo. Very glad I changed my mind the meat was tender and nicely caramelized. Would definitely order the bowl again one of my friends had the pork chop which was also delicious tender not dry and lots of flavor from the seasoning. My other friend had one of the hot pots with no rice or noodles as he's trying to stay away from carbs. We had the Salt & Pepper Crispy Squid and the Fried Pork Intestine. Our friend wanted us to give the intestine a try since my other friend and I hadn't had it before. I enjoyed the flavor. Glad I tried it. Definitely glad I went with someone who frequents the place and gave us tips on mixing the sauces. The owner gave us complimentary egg buns for dessert. Was a nice way to end the meal.

    Vegetarian Laksa.. SO GOOD. So flavorful and satisfying.
    Terrie B.

    First of all, I gotta say this is my new favorite spot in the I.D! The floors and tables were clean, the atmosphere is nice and chill. Not too loud or chaotic, which I appreciate as someone who's uncomfortable in those kinds of environments. The service was fantastic, our waitress was so sweet and on top of making sure we were taken cared of. Yo... THE FOOD!!! My girlfriend had the vegetarian laksa and I had the sesame miso hot pot with extra yam noodles. Both were excellent. The noodles in her soup were perfect texture and the broth was so creamy and flavorful. My hot pot was everything I wanted it to be. Lunch for both of us only costed 32$, which in Seattle these days that's an affordable meal. I absolutely plan on becoming a regular here. I highly recommend to the noodle soup and hot pot lovers out there. This place is IT.

    Michael C.

    很好吃! Seattle has some solid Taiwanese food options, but we can always use more. Gourmet Noodle Bowl does a great job with the classics. I was so happy with the braised pork belly rice (kong rou fan), which was one of my favorite dishes growing up. The rice was packed with flavor from the sauce, and the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. I will say I was also expecting minced pork based on the pictures, and would love to see if that's an option next time. The Taiwanese pork bun (gua bao) was also great. They're garnished with crushed peanuts, so you know you're in for a good time. I will also give a nod to the takeout containers, which are made from compostable materials. Proud of my people for running a sustainable business.

    The service was excellent!! Greeted at the door by the chef and he took our order and talk about service with a smile!! The service was so good that it made the food taste even better and let me tell you ... the food was extremely GREAT!! Probably the best I tasted so far here in Washington!! Absolutely will be back!! Soooo dang delicious!!

    Taiwanese Spicy - customize
    Robert C.

    We went for late lunch and enjoyed the popcorn chicken and tempura green beans to start. They were served with assorted sauces. All were good although the garlic sauce was the best. Chicken was excellent and green beans were good. We also enjoyed the Taiwanese Spicy hot pot. They serve individual hot pots so you can choice different options. We also tried the Mantou served with three dipping sauces, condensed milk, ube and matcha. Nice sweet bread desert to enjoy with tea. Highly recommended.

When I found out they were opening a location near me, I was over the moon excited. I went with my boyfriend probably 2-3 months of the restaurant opening. We walked in, were told it would be a 45min-1 hr wait and put ourselves on the waitlist and shopped around the mall. When it said we were 2nd in line, we started back towards the restaurant but the yelp app no longer said we were in line. They were extremely busy and it took several minutes to get helped by someone after waiting, which was a frustrating start. Our servers were very helpful and prompt in bringing us our items. HOWEVER--I need to complain about them charging for a sauce bar. I've never in my life heard of an all you can eat place like this charging for sauce?? I maybe understand charging for sides and dessert, but the AYCE price seems substantial enough to cover what was there... it doesn't give the generous vibe that buffets or AYCE places usually do. For what we had (we chose the basic set), I would be hard pressed to pay much more by adding on drinks, a premium set upgrade, or sauces and sides. I think the food was good--there was lots of variety in the basic set and we definitely left full. After trying this though, I think I'll stick with my butane stove, buying broth packs, and having hot pot at home with friends.

    This was on our radar for a while and our son finally talked mom into an AYCE experience!…read more She doesn't like it as much as myself..... We had a reservation on a Saturday evening but it wasn't that busy. Greeted and sat right away by nice staff. It's a bit of a tight table setup but quite well organized so that each diner can operate the heat of both their hot pot and grill independent of others. Quite a genius concept really and easily learned though odd for familiar diners of each type of cooking. They had this really good stewed pork and quail eggs and a large rice cooker you can help yourself to at the bar while waiting. It was so good I had that for my dessert. A very typical Asian family dish often left on the kitchen stove that we are familiar with. The beverages are included in fridges with many soda lemonade waters and other stuff to grab as you like. There is a huge sauce bar to mix your own. Love the sesame sauce mixed with other things! And a bunch of fresh fruit to help yourself to. The hotpot had a number of choices. Sukiyaki broth looked good and our son loved it. I chose the spicy Szechuan type red broth and ordered it mild but it was still quite hot. Honestly this wasn't as tasty as other hotpot restaurants and even mine I make at home with ginger and garlic is much better. Wish I chose the sukiyaki or basic beef broth like our daughter (it was tasty too). So I gave up after a couple rounds of that and stuck to the bbq. The bbq is small with parchment paper on a steel tray but it cooks up pretty quick and nice. Great general choices with many things available. Spicy pork was not the best I've had though and that's one of my faves. Excellent beef choices and pork belly. Whole head on prawns etc. The list is huge. Overall the service was quite fast and attentive clearing dishes and bringing additional items you order from a tablet. They don't do either type of bbq or hotpot as well as others but it's pretty close and so fun to mix and match! A little extensive but if you can eat a lot it's a fair value.
