I always feel bad posting shots of takeout but it is what it is. On a dreary rainy day I can't get the better half to eat out so takeout it is. Fusion is a good descriptor for the offerings - one thing that stood out was the kale. Never in my life did I imagine I'd be raving about kale :D but the tempura kale was really, really good. Crunchy and tasty. Didn't really like the parking situation - but that's a minor consideration for pickup.

My favorite part is still the tempura kale--it's so good--and I always love getting a side of the tempura and a side of their pickles. Definitely a great lunch spot if you're in the area. That said, it's still a bit on the pricey side, but the quality makes it feel more worth it now.

It had that perfect, deeply caramelized, bittersweet edge that paired incredibly well with the warm flatbread and smoky meats. I don't know why they decided to mess with a perfect formula, but replacing it with this new "vegetable honey" shit just feels completely off. The complex, intense flavor depth is totally gone, and the substitute just doesn't hold a candle to the original.

Of all the old timey bars on Seattle, this is one of the best from an interior perspective. Just a long, U-shaped bar with antique memorabilia (okay, they also have a few TVs playing sports, but that's a plus for me)! They have a full bar and great beers. And the service is very friendly and attentive.

Low key vibe, not crowded on Saturday around noon, very friendly staff. Hubs and I shared a Rueben and a salad. Our server split the plate. The corned beef was thick and plentiful. Very tasty. Good portion to share. Our table split an order of the fried cheese curds, and they were simply delightful. Lightly breaded and hot out of the fryer, probably the best we've had. A friend ordered the Maude's salad , it came with a generous portion of chicken and everything was really fresh. After we ate, Brooklyn gave us a quick run down of the history and a quick tour of the side by side bars. She was a joy! We enjoyed chatting with her. This spot is a hidden gem in Georgetown. Will be back to give breakfast a try!

Food is fantastic- myself, and the three people with me all loved our sandwiches. Italian beef was delicious- I would pass on the potato salad. French Dip was scarfed down- one of my husband's favorite French dips- in his words. We all shared the chips in queso as an appetizer- was shocked how spicy it was, but was very addicting. My only reason for 4 stars is that two of ordered Moscow Mules and we were brought what we thought were Whiskey Sours- definitely not what we ordered. Our server seemed to be the bartender and server- so she was busy! Overall highly recommend for decent drinks and bomb sandwiches.

The Taylor Street was mediocre--the cold cuts were whatever and it needed some sort of zing. For sides, the green salad with bleu cheese dressing was outstanding, thanks to the house-made dressing, but the chips and salsa were lackluster due to the stale chips. The salsa was good. Service was top notch--attentive, friendly, and timely. Ambience: I like old buildings, so this was right up my alley. The restaurant was clean and had an upbeat vibe. The seating was hard on the butt and back.

If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!

Might be the minority here and say it's just average. Was hungry and passing through the area and…read moresaw they had a seared salmon bowl (Aburi Sake Don). The taste was unfortunately very bland, no significant sear in the salmon, and the soy sauce didn't add anything memorable to the bowl. The Una-Gyu Don wasn't bad, but the broiled eel with sukiyaki just wasn't special enough to make you crave it again. The location has a parking lot next door at least. Internally the dining space is narrow and fills up quickly at opening times in the weekend. Order at the counter or kiosk, and they'll deliver the food to your table, which you bus yourself at the end.

If you also want to try a lot of their sandwiches, do how I do it and get their half and half so that you can choose two kinds of sandwiches each time for a great price of $16 before tax. As mentioned before, you can even order online and pickup at the store! Keep in mind they tend to run out of the Conscious cookies sometime past 12:30pm if you wanted to get them. Now for the other sandwiches I got to try: - Pulled pork and grilled cheese: very heavy because of the cheese but flavorful because of the tender pulled pork. This one came in really piping hot for some reason when I got it. Also grilled cheese is one of my all-time favorite sandwiches no matter how plain! - Salami: had some peppers and jalapeños to balance the peppery salami throughout this sandwich. The bread used here was harder to chew on yet it had the right aftertaste to complement everything in this sandwich. It's as if the bread had some olive oil or butter on it. - Cuban: all in a hoagie bun and full of tender flavor from the pulled pork. Pickles added a nice kick. - Philly: has the ingredients of a Philly cheesesteak while feeling like a mild version of it. Bell peppers and onions stood out to me for giving the roasted beef some more oomph.

Prices were reasonable and most games ranged from $.50-$.75 and some of them had deals for two dollars for three plays which saves you a quarter.

So I was really interested to try it. The setting is what I would consider kind of rock-'n'-roll dive bar, but nicer. They were playing what seemed like punk music on the sound system which was fun to hear. I placed my order and paid for it at the bar. I was surprised at how good the Reuben tasted. There was not a strong taste of pastrami, but the sauerkraut, dressing, and bread made up for it. I would not have guessed it was vegan. There was root beer on tap that was really good as well.
