I’ve been procrastinating for months and finally ordered lunch from Koku Cafe. I ordered the Ginger Koji Tofu bowl which was delicious. Super fresh and very filling. My partner ordered the Gochujang Brewed Pork and loved his dish as well.

A wonderful weird breakfast! Edamame mash sandwich with avocado and a matcha IPA give me the green light for a great day!

Overall, it’s okay. The ambiance is very chill, customer service was great. The food is what you would expect from a healthy food place. A little bland, but well presented and appears to be made with fresh ingredients. Price is okay.

The mirin soaked chicken bowl had a layer of creamy pesto on top, pickled radish, cucumbers, carrots and a good amount of rice.

Go here now! This cafe has a unique menu. I’d expect to find this food in a sit-down restaurant. They have Japanese grilled cheese, bowls, and delicious Japanese desserts. The tofu bowl is creamy and herby. Their desserts are perfect, I’d recommend all of them. I wish the grilled cheese had more onions in it.

Sitting and eating at this place makes my heart full. I had been searching for a healthy food bowl cafe around Seattle for a while and had not been able to find one that I enjoy. Then I saw this cafe today. I ordered the Japanese cheesecake, a tofu bowl, and an iced matcha. I loved every item. Having lunch here and knowing this little cafe is here brightened my day indefinitely. Thank you!

I’ve ordered delivery from here twice and their rice bowls are insane. I got the koji tofu bowl both times and it is definitely going to be on repeat when I need something fast and delicious.

Excellent food. This restaurant brings the tofu bowl to the next level. All ingredients were very yummy. Strongly recommend to stop by here when you’re visiting Queen Anne or the Kerry Park area.
