This poke was sooo good

This poke was sooo good and you get so much for the price ($11.99 for 1 protein, $13.99 for 2) with unlimited toppings

We got original and Hawaiian poke… The original is a sweet soy sauce and perfect if you like a hint of sweetness in your poke, and the Hawaiian is a creamy spicy mayo base with fish roe in it. All the ingredients are fresh and so yummy!

this place is amazing! i opted to create my own bowl which is great because i love having the option to personalize my food. there are so many options for poke, vegetable toppings, sauce, and the base of your bowl. the portions are insanely affordable for their price. 1 bowl was more than enough for me.

the line moves quickly and the workers are very tentative when helping with customers. this space is pretty small but it is organized so that the store is never too packed and you can tell they keep their restaurant sanitized. love this place!

Fish tastes fresh

Rated 5.0 out of 5

Personally one of my favorite poke places in Seattle and definitely the go to stop if I’m in U district. Fish tastes fresh and has lots of flavor. I usually do a two choice with Hawaiian and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna is more mushy I’d say, and not quite chunks of fish, but it’s really good. Hawaiian you’ll expect to see small chunks of fish compared to the spicy tuna. I’ll usually opt for half sushi rice half salad to balance the bowl, and sometimes ask for ponzu directly on the rice! You can get as many or as little toppings as you’d like, which is why I’d say this poke bowl is the complete package since you have a variety of flavors to enhance the fish. Tobiko is an absolute must add!!!

Prices have gone slightly up (totally reasonable) and I’d say they give less fish now compared to before, but it’s still going to be my poke spot!

The poke bowl was so heavy

The poke bowl was so heavy — I was doing bicep curls with it. They stuff the poke bowls with so many different toppings of your choice like macaroni salad, seaweed salad, edamame, crab salad, flying fish row, etc!

There’s no seating inside… BUT THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW IT’S GOOD! this was a good 1.5 meals for $13 which i think is very reasonable especially for raw fish‼ The bowl is definitely toppings dominant, instead of fish dominant. service was quick!

Everything was pretty good

I got the spicy tuna and salmon poke bowl and everything was pretty good. I like what toppings they have and everything tasted great. The place is pretty small and doesn’t really have place to sit so it’s good to just get take out. A lot of people just sit outside. The wait was a little longer of a line than expected at 2 pm on a weekend, but it’s worth it.
