“I did not expect a "sushi burrito" to be good but wow.”

I did not expect a "sushi burrito" to be good but wow! I expect a tortilla but no, it was a wrap made of rice with all the sushi stuff inside. Will absolutely be back for another.

“My husband and I tried Bowlful of Korea for dinner, and wow, talk about comfort in a bowl.”

My husband and I tried Bowlful of Korea for dinner, and wow, talk about comfort in a bowl! 🥢 We ordered the Korean BBQ Beef Bowl and the Chicken Katsu Bowl, both loaded with protein, veggies, japchae, and fluffy white rice. The mix of corn, crunch, spicy mayo, and yum-yum sauce made every bite addictive. It’s literally a bowl full of goodness (pun totally intended 😋). But the real star of the night? The Bulgogi Fries. Crispy, saucy, and impossible to stop eating. Easily our new guilty pleasure! 🍟🔥 While waiting, we noticed tons of online pickup orders flying out, clearly a local favorite. The place has a laid-back, self-serve vibe, so don’t expect fine-dining polish. You’ll bus your own table, and things can get a bit messy when it’s busy. Also, no traditional Korean sides here, everything’s already in the bowl, which honestly works for a quick, satisfying meal. For the price and flavor, we left full, happy, and maybe a little too proud of how clean our bowls were. 😄 Verdict: Worth it. We were Bowl-full, indeed! 🍚💛

“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here last night.”

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here last night. It’s casual, walk up order and seat yourself. The sushi burritos are so good! They are like one large roll, so unique and delicious! Amazing small family owned business to support! We just moved nearby, I can tell this will be one of our new Favorites!

“I love Bowlful of Korea.”

I love Bowlful of Korea! I got the Kimchi fries and the Tofu K-bowl. The fries had a great flavor and so did the bowl. The service is really quick, and the staff are friendly as well.

A great option for a tasty and quick Korean dish. Big portion, lots of veggies, quick service. The BBQ beef was flavorful and tender. The pic is a partially eaten bibimbap. The bowl was full of
