Wonderbowl, the customizable grain bowl restaurant, has reopened at a new location inside Lincoln South Food Hall. The eatery is located next to KODE Pizza in the back section of the food hall.
Originally launched as a mobile food cart in Seattle in 2012 under the name “I Love My GFF,” the business was rebranded to “Wonderbowl” after being acquired by The Homegrown Group in 2019. The restaurant first opened at Lincoln South Food Hall in June 2020.
In July 2024, Homegrown Partners LLC closed all 10 of its Seattle-area locations, which included Wonderbowl’s Downtown Bellevue site. The company cited economic pressures, including rising labor and food costs, as the reason for its closure, describing its business model as unsustainable under those conditions.
Following the closure of Wonderbowl, Conscious Hospitality Group introduced three new restaurant concepts in the summer of 2024. These include Club Seltzer, a nonalcoholic seltzer bar; KODE Pizza, a Detroit-style Korean pizzeria; and EatDirt, a salad, sandwich, and juice bar. Conscious Hospitality Group is also responsible for the reopening of Wonderbowl.
Lincoln South Food Hall currently hosts multiple dining options, including Drip Tea, EatDirt, Great State, King Leroy, KODE Pizza, Midnight Cookie Co., Mix Sushi Bar, Seoul Bowl, West Coast Tacos, Club Seltzer, and DOTE Coffee Bar.
