[In the Bowl, Seattle, WA]

As one of Capitol Hills best kept secrets, In the Bowl, is one of those places that gains popularity through word-of-mouth. A meal that consists of two “episodes” and a pot of hot tea costs roughly $20. Situated near the intersection of East Denny Way and East Olive Way the locale is not ideal if traveling by car. However, In the Bowl offers parking validation for parking in the lot behind the Olive Way “Starbuck”. The crowd that frequents this establishment is as diverse as the flavors that make the food so palatable. From the quirky décor to the names of the dishes – the melting culture is divine – every element compliments the other and contributes to an experience to savor. Perhaps the most unexpected surprise – particularly to meat eaters - is that In the Bowl is vegan. Even though the outside signage indicates it is a Vegetarian Noodle Bistro, there is a notice on the inside that states, “No animals meats and animals products inside the restaurant”. Regardless of dietary preferences the cuisine will speak for itself and the message will invariably be passed on.
