    Ippo Sake Bowl
    Crystal H.

    Quick service and good poke! My favorite was actually the pickled cucumbers, but they're not like pickles. It was a pleasant surprised when I tried them. I appreciate having a poke place near the hospital, there's not a lot of food options around there. Having poke on a hot day hits the spot. It's a smaller restaurant with a couple seating. It's also a coffee shop too!

    Salmon Poke Bowl
    Serena W.

    Been here a couple times and the poke bowls have always been great. Got a salmon bowl this time and I tried their temptation bowl before. Both were delicious but I do prefer the traditional salmon bowl. I also tried the taro milk tea over ice and it was better than I expected. The boba was chewy and had a good amount of sweetness, but the taro drink itself did taste a bit powdery. Overall, really enjoy the food and the friendly staff here!

    This place was just okay. They have a lot of things going on (coffee, poke, boba, hot foods), and I wasn't overly impressed with my first visit. However, it wasn't bad considering that they don't really specialize in one thing. I stopped by during lunch with my coworkers and ordered their salmon poke bowl. The bowl was fine, but it's not one of the better bowls I've had, and here's why: 1) The amount of fish is substantially less than other poke establishments. 2) They skimped out on my toppings. I could count the number of corn kernels and edamame I received in my bowl, because it was hardly a decent scoop. 3) I don't think lettuce goes with poke bowls, and I would recommend subbing that out. 4) Canned corn 5) The sauce is pretty much sriracha and mayo. However, given its proximity to my work location, it's not a bad option and would come back if I were really craving poke. I also ordered the pina colada smoothie with boba. This was also okay but I'd probably skip this next time since there's much better boba shops in the area (i.e. Sharetea).

    I tried out this little coffee shop while waiting for my bus next door. I ordered a cappuccino -- just what I needed for a pick me up. Go check this local shop out!

    Salmon Poké Bowl & miso soup
    Brianna F.

    Wahoooo! Finally started getting out for lunch at work and stumbled upon this little place. The interior is small, but quaint. I arrived right around lunchtime so it was pretty busy! Thankfully I snagged a seat right after I ordered. The salmon in the poke bowl is delishhhhh. Very cold and fresh tasting, with the perfect amount of sweetness in the seasoning. They give you a generous amount of everything -- rice, greens, seaweed salad, kanikama, edamame, and more. I would love to try the different combo bowls they have available, or the hot food they have on the menu. I've been bringing my lunch to work more often now, but I'll for sure be back to try some other menu items... and coffee!

    Temptation Bowl!! Tempting...
    Mariah N.

    Omg.... Hands down, the Temptation Poke is just the best thing. The space is so bright and airy with the biggest windows and pretty marble tables. There is even a gorgeous green velvet love seat for a cute little photo op! The staff is lovely and kind and everyone was accommodating for my annoying needs. Location is perfect for my breakfast, lunch, and brunch break from work. ALSO, the food came out like wildly fast... best thing ever. But seriously, get the temptation bowl.... SO GOOD.

    Temptation Bowl

    Solid poke joint in the area. Place is small but there are few available seats. Highly recommend the temptation bowl! Fish slices are fresh and nicely marinated. The tempura/wonton strips added a nice texture to the dish. Appreciate the aromatic miso soup that always come with the meal. As also voiced by some reviewers, I notice that the amount of fish is slightly less compared to similar establishments. Not a deal breaker as it all comes down to the freshness and taste. I've never gotten their bubble tea and coffee but their smoothies are always consistent. They also have protein smoothie option available. Overall, would visit again. Not to mention staffs are friendly and welcoming!

    Like most poke bowl places, offer both spicy and normal options! And are around 10.95 a pop for a basic bowl. Service was extremely kind even during busy hours. This is a close walk from harborview medical center and has some nice seating with views of the street. Did not try any of the other items on the menu, except the salmon poke bowl- with spicy sauce on the side. The bowls come with miso soup too! ;)

    the outside of a coffee shop

    I am a public health microbiologist and work at Harborview Medical Center. Things in public health have been more than a little crazy lately, and coffee is a critical component of success. As a lifelong Seattleite, I have become a bit of a coffee connoisseur; though some would probably tell you that coffee snob is more reflective of reality, but I digress. The two main things I look for in a coffee house are great coffee, and great people with a passion for great coffee. Coffee Tree more than delivers. Concerning the quality of both coffee and character, Coffee Tree and the people who bring it to life are among the best in the city--and this is coming from someone who's been to countless coffee houses. There are some establishments that serve as a convenient go-to for reliably and relatively decent coffee, but not a place you'd go out of your way to visit. At a few blocks from the hospital, Coffee Tree is extremely convenient. It truly is a place worth going to even if it was inconvenient--the first sip of my daily afternoon breve latte is a transformative experience every time. The beans are fresh, the grind is superb, and the shots are pulled perfectly, yielding a rich espresso with subtly sweet notes of caramel that greet you with the unique and intoxicating aroma of well-crafted coffee. Bitterness is nonexistent. Situated on a corner in the shade of trees, and with giant windows and adorable tables and chairs outside to accommodate both indoor and outdoor people-watching preferences, Coffee Tree is a place where coffee lovers will feel at home. Even if you're not usually big on coffee, I suggest a visit; you might just leave as a coffee lover yourself. 10/10, highly recommend. P.S. I feel compelled to add that, as a Seattleite, I borderline despise Starbucks. Starbucks is terrible and taints my city's reputation as the coffee capital of the nation with its shots of mediocre brown liquid made from old beans that taste like someone forgot in the oven more than once.

    Amazing food and great service! I got the poke and it was super fresh. Super close to work and basically no wait. It felt perfect for my lunch break!

    Salmon poke bowl with all the toppings and salad - no rice!
    Julie P.

    What?? A coffeeshop that serves poke! Or a Poke place that serves delicious coffee. Either way, I'm a huge fan. I was walking by after getting my nails done and wanted to stop by for a cup of coffee. But I ended up getting a poke bowl as well. This place is super cute inside! It's small but it has big windows and everything is white inside! Perfect for pretty pictures :) my kind of style! The place is small so there's not a lot of seating area except by the bar stool along the window. The staff here was so friendly and kind! I want to come here often and tell everyone to try this place!! Hahah I do feel like this place is overlooked compared to all the other recent new poke places that came up in Seattle - but definitely go try this place out! They give you free miso soup with your bowl which is a plus. Anyways, their poke was super fresh and tasty. You can add corn as a topping to the bowl!!! I love corn so even just that option already won me over times ten! :) I can't wait to go back and get some delicious poke as well as a good cup of coffee!

    Salmon poke bowl
    Samantha G.

    To best express my feeling of the place, I will go accordingly with the Yelp star-system and I personally have experienced better. And no, I am not referring to Hawaii just to keep this review fair. So Seattle have been crushing on poke like crazy and of course, I plan to try as many places as I am able to do so. Coffee Tree & Poke is conveniently situated in Pill Hill so its a great place for those that work in the area. I went with the poke bowl with salmon. The bowl is similar to 45th Stop and Shop's where its displays other toppings such as avocado, ginger, krab salad, masago, edamame, greens and corn. To be honest with you, I wasn't crazy about this bowl. The poke wasn't as seasoned as I was expecting and under the krab salad was a salad with sesame dressing (aka the side salads you'd find at teriyaki joints). Normally I enjoy these salads but I didn't like how it went with the other flavors in the bowl. The bowl wasn't huge but I couldn't finish the bowl since I wasn't liking the mix of flavors. If I do end up at Coffee Tree & Poke again, I will definitely just get poke and rice. Honestly poke doesn't need to have so much going on to be great, just as long as the fish is fresh and is seasoned just right.

    Spicy Salmon Bowl
    Noreen B.

    One of the reasons I miss working at Harborview is poke! As busy as they can get during rush hour, they work pretty darn fast and always friendly. The place is always clean and lots of natural light which makes the place so inviting. They have the best spicy salmon bowl!!!

    Go there 2-3 times a week either for breakfast sandwich or poke bowl (Temptation Bowl is my go-to) or the udon beef (the BEST).

    I visited Ono Poke on a Saturday afternoon to pick up my preorder for Butter Bandit and decided I…read moremight as well also get a bowl of poke. This was at 12:30PM and there was a long line out the door and around the corner, taking almost 30 minutes. I had previously visited on a rainy winter weekday for lunch and there wasn't a line at all. What a difference the day and weather can make! While in line we could see the chefs cutting up ahi fresh right in front. The longer line gave me time to chat with the owner as he was trimming off the skin and other bits. I learned that tuna skin is much tougher than salmon skin so can't be eaten like salmon skin chips. He also said that the trimmed parts can be taken for free if anyone wants them. Apparently they make good crab bait! Medium w/ Rice, Traditional Limu Ahi, Hamachi, Mac Salad ($21.50) - I love the Hamachi poke mix. It's fresh, tender, and buttery fish tossed in a creamy and slightly spicy sauce, filled with little briny pearls and plenty of aromatics giving a super umami bite. The Limu Ahi is very fresh as well - I mean, it's sliced right in front, and there's so much turnover of the food that's it's pretty much guaranteed fresh. The tuna is fresh and tender, but there's noticeably more sinew compared to the hamachi. The Mac Salad is also really good. It's super creamy and the macaroni isn't overcooked so it still has some bite. The rice is unfortunately the weakest item in the bowl. It's a little too dry for my tastes and is only lightly tossed with rice vinegar, giving a tangy flavor. Overall all the poke is fresh, the flavors all meld together into a delightful balanced bite, and the sauces are not overwhelming. Ono Poke definitely serves some great poke!

They share parking spots with the rest of the plaza and it's not difficult to find a spot if you're willing to walk just a few extra feet. Went for an oddly timed meal on a Saturday around 4PM and they still had all their poke options. There are about 6-8 tables in the store, but quite a few folks take their meals to go. It's definitely not the cheapest meal option, but the poke is absolutely delicious and the fish is unbelievably fresh I tried the Shoyu Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and the Hamachi; all of them were incredible. The Hamachi is only available on weekends and the fish is so fatty it almost melts in your mouth with the creamy and tangy sauce. The Shoyu Salmon is incredibly succulent and just a classic knocked out of the park with a great balance of fresh, salty, and slightly sweet. I'm normally a tuna hater, but the texture is excellent with a nice bite and great spice level.

I agree with another reviewer (I had the seared salmon bowl when I first went) and I loved it - but I am a minority because I know the quality of the salmon was super high and I don't require a lot of sauce to enjoy it. But every time I get the mixed chirashi sushi donburi, it is just "beyond expectations." I have now gone almost a dozen times, and it feels like a treat to bring people there - Georgetown in itself is a bit of a surprise, parking is tricky but there is parking lot and the hours are great (I think till 9:00 daily) and the people and service are wonderful. My friend who speaks Japanese talked to the owner and he started this restaurant in Japan and brought it to the Seattle area about 5 years ago. It feels totally authentic, Japanese owned and run, and the quality is consistent every time.

The taste was unfortunately very bland, no significant sear in the salmon, and the soy sauce didn't add anything memorable to the bowl. The Una-Gyu Don wasn't bad, but the broiled eel with sukiyaki just wasn't special enough to make you crave it again. The location has a parking lot next door at least. Internally the dining space is narrow and fills up quickly at opening times in the weekend. Order at the counter or kiosk, and they'll deliver the food to your table, which you bus yourself at the end.

There are no bells and whistles here, just excellent service, fair prices, and fantastic food. There are only a handful of tables, which is really meant for solo diners and two people at best. There is a handful of takeout patrons at any given time, but that's only because of the wait. It's far more enticing to sit in and experience the magic that exists in every bowl. Water is self-serve and thankfully presented in a filtered water tank that spits out cold, delicious water. A majority of the bowls are between $13-16 each, which in today's foodflation economy seems expected. The good news is that the portion is substantial in every bowl. My go-to is their chirashi, which is roughly $19 but features a nice array of fish cuts that include salmon, chopped fatty tuna, masago, fresh water eel, shrimp with albacore and another dose of tuna. The unagi don is their most expensive bowl at nearly $21, but the broiled unagi with the eel sauce that is dynamite. The textures, the sweetness, and the size is all on point. And due to its status as a teriyaki city, I think the chicken teri don is an excellent alternative to all the seafood. The teriyaki hits all the right flavor notes, with just enough sweetness with the tenderness of the chicken meat. Add in another $1 and it's a spicy version. I so wish there was something like this in my neck of the woods. If I lived in Seattle, this would be a weekly destination. I'm already looking forward to my next visit(s).
