I love the Bibimbap and poke bowls! Very healthy and flavorful. The customer service is A-1 and inside is very clean and well organized. This is my new favorite spot to eat at inside and take food back to work for lunch 😋😊

Family owned Korean bowl restaurant where you order at the counter (rice bowls, ramen bowls, stone pot bowls, etc) and they make it to order and deliver to your table. Owners are super nice and can help you order if you need. Very generous portions and good quality fresh food. We had a beef bulgogi stone pot rice bowl, a spicy pork bulgogi stone pot rice bowl, soon dubu tofu stew delivered in a boiling cauldron. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. They seem to do a steady take out business and I can see why. Highly recommend.

The raw tuna bowl is outstanding.Next time I think Ill get it NOT spicy because the sauce was not what I expected, but it was still good. Great and friendly service!

I always go for the chicken ramen or bulgogi bowl. Order at the counter and an employee will bring the food to the table. Fast service and the meals taste fresh with powerful flavor.

My husband and I ate lunch here today and it was really wonderful. Menu was impressive and the service was quick and kind. If you are looking for a delicious lunch sit down or to go this is the place. (Ramen is top notch!)

The food is SOOOO DAMN GOOD!!!! The spicy tofu ramen is my go-too order(incredibly flavorful broth, delicious toppings, and noodles were perfect!!). My pregnant baby mama is obsessed with the spicy sweet garlic wings(which also comes with a side of fluffy white rice😋).And you gotta try the curry bowls!! Whenever Im sick, I crave their curry bowls since it always make me feel better, are very filling, and highly nutricious!!!Their serving sizes are generous, the prices are great, and food quality is incredibly high!! The dollar-to-flavor/portion ratio is easily the best in Alameda.The owners are a very nice Korean couple and are always friendly and polite to explain the menu!! BB Bowl has quickly become my favorite foodie spot in Alameda. Theres a reason why BB Bowl survived the pandemic while many others have closed down.Its survival of the fittest and BB Bowl is FIT, my guy. No cap🧢

Had the BB Bulgogi, BB Curry Rice Bowl with beef, Fried Mandu, and Bimbap with tofu. All of them are equally tasty. The curry sauce is addicting and plentiful which keeps me coming back.

The menu has a lot of variety. The counter and cooking are operated by a gracious and welcoming couple, the food was prepared to order and was excellent. There were a couple of Korean frozen dessert options in the freezer I havent seen before, so I had to try one even though I was pretty stuffed from lunch. It was well worth it, though :-D. Its a very nice spot for Korean food!

Wanted a fulfilling lunch and was in the mood for an asian dish close to work. Saw this and gave it a try. Very friendly service. The lady making my food gave me a cup for water and i didnt ask for it. Very considerate. It was slow when i came in but that means i get food quicker. The beef bowl was good with a lot of veggies on top. I enjoyed it. I would come back again

Hidden yummy in Alameda.When I ordered wings and bowl, I left the store without checking the bag and came home only with bowl.Next day, the owners knew it was forgotten so they graciously made it up. They even added gyozas on top of that as a token of apology! Wow! What incredible service and theyre SUCH nice people.

A great hidden gem with very friendly service! The food is made with pride at an affordable price. The bulgogi bowl is especially delicious. The portions are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Extremely flavorful Ramen and Korean BBQ Bowls. Their chicken ramen (spicy option) is perfect for cold nights or when craving noodles. The rainbow bowls are awesome too, especially if youre feeling like eating healthy (particularly the salmon or tuna options). The food always tastes and looks fresh, and the service is quick and friendly.

I go to this place often and have tried many of there menu items. My favorites kimchi bowl, beef bulgogi, and Ramen. But all there food is delicious 😋 I can’t explain though the kimchi bowl is physically addictive. I just had the ramen on a cold day and it was so good I was slurping up that ramen juice till the end. Also if you want the best freakin popsicle in the world get the melona it is a honeydew melon popsicle I dream about it. I wish there were more bb bowls around the Bay Area (Preferably in Santa Cruz)so people could experience this awesomeness.

Great little family run spot serving clean, hot, delicious Korean dishes tailored towards non Koreans. The beef kimchi bowl w a fried egg was delicious and spicy, plenty of food though I might ask for extra beef next time. Ill be back here.

Fast casual, fresh and relatively healthy fare -- like Chipotle for Korean bowls. Ive only tried the beef, chicken, you, and salmon poki bowls. All hit the spot. The also serve tofu soup and ramen (which I have not tried but they look good). The service is fast and friendly, and the place clean.

I was recommended to eat here by friends. I got a raw salmon rainbow bowl and friends got the eel bowl. All food was delicious. I was informed that they now have broccoli in the bowls.

Game changer is a little raw fishits pretty amazing, totally delishPoke is raw, but dont get me wrongeat it, get happy, and sing a little songBB Bowl is an average restaurant, BUT their poke bowl is great! You cant get many poke bowls on the island, but here in alameda, in this small mom and pop shop can you get your hands on a little bit of hawaiin raw fish, flavorful sauce heaven. Its delicious, and I love it..... I LOVE IT!!!!

Try the delicious savory sesame rainbow meat and vegetable rice bowl on a hot day - very heathy. Also the ramen bowl but you must specify how spicy you want it. This bowl broth WILL clear out your sore throat/stuffed sinuses and loosens phlegm. A good winter comfort hot ramen bowl. Comes with a little side cup of kimchi (Korean pickled marinated cabbage). All good for what ails you. Tasty! Free Wi-Fi and a tv shows local Korean tv/Kpop - Korean music video and serial drama programming. 🍲

Only Korean fast food place Ive seen. Most of their food is good (for fast food). The bibimbap, kimchi rice and curry are good, but avoid the ramen.
