Our Story

A small room with a big flame.

Fire Bowl is a locally owned Japanese kitchen on Frederica Street. We cook hibachi, sushi and ramen the way we’d want to eat it — fresh, generous and made by hand.

火鉢 · Hibachi

It means fire bowl.

The word hibachi is written with two characters: fire, and bowl. That’s the whole idea. A bowl of heat, a chef who knows what to do with it, and a table of people waiting to eat.

Our chefs have been cooking over that fire for more than ten years. Between the owners, there are thirty more years of restaurant experience — and every bit of it is on the plate. We use Certified Angus Beef NY strips for our steaks, source seafood from vendors we trust, and cook with fresh produce only.

Every sauce and every dressing is made in our own kitchen. It’s more work. It’s also why our yum yum sauce tastes like ours.

Owensboro first

A small, locally owned room on Frederica Street. We know our regulars by name and by order.

“Your taste buds can tell when you're eating quality ingredients, and my husband and I were blown away.”
