Donburi Station Bellevue — Restaurant in Bellevue

Food is good, flavorful & taste excellent just the way it supposed to with no doubt.

But when it comes to the portion , they failed miserably. You will get shocked twice here.

First shock is when they tell you the price.

Second shock is when they give you your meal. You realize how tiny it is.

It is so small , that is a snack size.

It is so tiny that it can not be considered a meal.

It is so little. They must have measured it for small Japanese people size. Their portions is good only for 70 LB person. Not good for healthy regular 175LB American person. Opposite to what Donbury means ( Large Bowl )

Not only the portion is so tiny. Just a few bites, and it is already finished., but the price is so high.

There is plenty of food around.

The only explanation is extreme greed from the owners. They want to charge their customers the max , and serve their customers the least amount. And owners being miser& cheap toward their customers.

So after you ate this little tasty snack, you realize you are still hungry, just like when you walked in, and paid that awful very high price.

Customers don't mind paying as long they are getting the value for what they paying for. Not being ripped off.

Then when you start looking around why the food here is outrageously expensive, you realize the place is not really well maintained.

The restroom is dirty, the light is almost burned out that barely you can see inside the restroom.

The seating lounge is ignored & not cleaned regularly

The water dispenser is not cleaned & looks gross. And the tube supplying water is filthy dirty almost changed color to black . Full of Bacteria & germs.

Then come to the service. Because workers here don't get paid good enough They are getting paid very little money here compared to the volume of food they produce . Owner is exploiting his employees. Make them work hard, pay them little money ( awful)

There is no service. You pay , and pick up your food that's about it.

It is designed for take out mainly.

If dining in, then you serve your self.

I highly don't recommend this place.

I've tried a couple of their items here and had mixed experience- Starting with the good, their poke bowls are great! Do half salad half rice for the poke, full rice gives you barely any veggies and with full salad I end up missing the rice. Their yuzu soy is also delicious! I've tried tuna and salmon with yuzu soy and both of them are great if you get it half salad half rice. For the not so good, I didn't enjoy their sukiyaki beef don and the unagyu don and found them to be a bit too salty + overpriced for what I was getting. Bibimdon was okay but not super authentic and I would have rather ordered actual bibimbap from a Korean restaurant, there was barely any kimchi or vegetables. The interior space is small and seating was full when I went last Sunday. On weekdays they tend to be pretty empty for the most part though. I usually get to go, service here has been great and...

Nice, laid-back counter service place with both a self-ordering kiosk and someone at the counter to take your orders. Staff is always polite and attentive and will usually bring your food. The menu is excellent with a good selection of teriyaki, donburi, and poke bowls. I have tried multiple types of items and everything has been fresh and delicious. My favorites are probably the tofu teriyaki and the chicken teriyaki. The portions are generous with lots of proteins, and the price is low for the area (especially after the pandemic inflation- I am honestly surprised they were able to keep the price that low). I always tip well at this place even though it's counter-service, because the service is probably better than some sit-down restaurants, and the food is always great. You have earned a...
