Fremont Bowl

"This is a spot known for their Chirashi bowl - which comes with several different kinds of fish - tuna, salmon, trout, shrimp, eel, and masago - all over rice The quality of the fish was super nice. Each piece tasted pretty fresh, and felt like it had been stored well. My favorites were the eel, toro, and the salmon. The eel especially seemed marinated in some kind of soy-sauce, which enhanced the flavor A bit of a downside is I feel this place indexed a bit much on the leanness when it came to this bowl. While eating the tuna (of which there were several different types present), I found it to be not super pleasant. Since tuna lacks pretty much any fat, you're just eating pure protein. This is fine in small sections, but when you have a large portion of the bowl made of tuna, it makes part of the bowl a chore to get through I thought the rice was basically perfect. It was cooked really well, and I think it was even seasoned beforehand. it paired very well with the house soy sauce. Normally, I don't like just plain rice, but I could've had an entire bowl of this rice and nothing else - and been happy It's a little on the expensive side - coming out to around $20 after tax, but I did have this over two meals with decent portion sizes in each meal. For the amount of fish you're getting in this bowl, it's not a bad deal Overall, I liked the fundamentals of this bowl, but a different fish selection would've given it a higher score for me. 7.5/10"

"Great spot for lunch; it’s not fancy, but that’s not the point. It’s a reliable spot you can go to for a good serving of Japanese comfort food — be it a bowl of udon, or a rice bowl (don) with your choice of fresh sashimi grade fish. Chirashi is available, and by natural extension, you can also satiate your craving for poke. I love the simplicity of the menu — especially with udon, where it’s not trying to bedazzle you with all sorts of names that are essentially “tourist traps”. A trip here always hit the spot 💚"

"The store isn’t big, just a few seating. I went before closing and was able to get a seat, but I’d imagine busier hours I would need to take out. So far this place might be my favorite poke/chirashi bowl spot that I’ve been to. For the portion, I feel like this is a pretty good value. Love how the chirashi bowl has different variety of sea ingredients. Will definitely revisit."
