So good that we went back twice in a week -- the new sushi by the pound section opened up and loved the tastiness and the quality of the options. Unfortunately there is not validation at the underground parking so at $6 for a 15 min takeout parking job adds to the pricing of our sushi. We did appreciate the fact that all the boxes for takeout are super light since they do weigh it and the nigiri isn't super rice heavy. I liked the options of inari stuffed sushi as well and all the rolls were so flavorful that my hubs got his usual wasabi/soy sauce ready and didn't even use it cuz it was so good alone! They even had free miso soup dispenser which was a nice touch but missing take out lids for the soups if you're getting everything to go. read more

Overall loved the concept! Seemed a little pricey but maybe it's because I got a whole bunch of random nothings and some of them I didn't love. I thought the quality & the abundant options was nice. Tons of seating options and you can self grab spicy mayo/special soy and all other dipping options for your sushi on the side. No free parking lot, you have to pay to park in the garage that takes u directly up to the restaurant. It's street parking or park at another garage and walk over. I would come back! My favorites were the spicy tuna w/ the jalapeño and the shrimp tempura roll! There was another with something crunchy at the top and I believe seared salmon or spicy tuna that was pretty yummy as well. read more

FOB sushi bar is finally in the Eastside!! I personally love the sushi per pound concept, but it's just such a trek to go all the way to Seattle sometimes. Now sushi is available in the same location as FOB Poke Bar. How it works is that you grab a tray, fill it up with whatever sushi you want, and then weigh your tray at the end. I believe the current pricing as of 10/2024 is $14.99 per pound. They have a pretty decent variety of rolls, inari, and nigiri here, so there is something for everyone and for $14.99/lb, I usually end up decently full without having to break the bank. Compared to the Seattle location, the Bellevue location has a ton more seating and is overall so much bigger. Service is pretty minimal, not much interaction with the staff other than paying for your order. Utensils, soy sauce, wasabi, water, etc is all self serve. Parking is a bit annoying as there's no free garage nearby. The wait can also be SUPER long because of how popular this place is right now. read more

Parking might be hard to find. We just parked at a lot nearby and didn't pay since you can grab the food quickly. No line at 3pm on a Saturday. A lot of seating inside the establishment or outside in the lobby of the building. They provides all the sauce and utensils you need ~$16 per pound of food. Love the sushi here it's really good. read more

When we (4 of us) saw the flies landing on different sushi that was on the selling sushi table but the employee just pretended not seeing them -Flies dancing around on the sushi on different rolls touching down and went to others ! We totally want to throw up and we were leaving that store right-a-way ! It is discussing and worst open kitchen... will not going back for sure ... if the owner don't make any improvement to prevent the flies to land on the sushi as soon as possible...their customers will easy get sick because the flies lays eggs and germs on the sushi read more

I have already tried the FOB Sushi Bar in Seattle, but was in the area and wanted to stop by their Bellevue location. Parking is convenient which is already a plus compared to their Seattle location. There is on street parking and paid garage parking that leads you straight to FOB. Got here at 4pm and it was starting to get busy. The line for the sushi was long but there was almost no line for the poke! Food was great as always, this place truly hits the spot if you want a quick lunch or dinner, and they also have a complimentary miso soup dispenser that you can sip on. read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Love this place! Nothing quite like it for value! Quality sushi per pound-- only here! And the food is great, too! I love that you can pick out what and how many of the delectable sushi you would want to eat. I have come here with varying numbers of groups and we all leave happy! I love that miso soup is included in the price, too! Finding seating can be a challenge as there is not a lot of tables inside, but there are tables to share within the complex, plus during summer months there are lots of pocket parks where one could happily have lunch. Definitely a place to visit! read more

I understand the hype. First time going to a FOB sushi bar and the line was crazy for Sunday lunch, but the line moved at a decent speed. Plenty of seating though as people started eating at the building's lobby. You pay by the pound here and they have three different box sizes you can choose from that doesn't effect the price. The Inari Sushi was really good and that's coming from me who usually avoids it. It was savory and juicy in a good way. I thought the fish were pretty good quality and the fish to rice ratio on the nigiris were good as well. I'd say 10-12 pieces ends up being $20. Definitely have to visit again. read more

After going to their Belltown location and loving it so much, I immediately wanted to try their Bellevue location after hearing them just open up. The line was long, waited almost 45 minutes, but it was worth it! The sushi selection was fewer than their Belltown location, but probably because they share the same space as their poke bar. The food itself was good, but sadly, I think because they were so busy, the rice was undercooked and crunchy. Other than that, the fish was delicious! read more

FOB Poke Bar - Large box of sushi (priced by the pound) - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Umm I would come back everyday in a heartbeat if I could. Not only did the take out boxes make the whole "sushi buffet experience" a luxurious one, but the selection was top tier. They definitely allowed their toppings and sauces to drown out the reality that it's a sliced fish on top of a California roll. I tried to avoid the basic Cali Rolls and only got the special ones. Either way it was delicious and worth every dollar. Yes yes yes worth a try. Parking was a pain. read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Don't go here on the weekend unless you're willing to wait in the sushi line for at least an hour. There are two lines, one for sushi and one for poke. Nearly everyone was in line for sushi, as they should be because the sushi is 11/10. Came here on a Friday around 1pm and the sushi line wrapped around the lobby, but the poke line was nonexistent. There were so many options to choose from, my wife put 2 of each kind in a large box (~40 pieces), and she was only able to grab from about 1/4 of the total selection of sushi, all for $66. We'll be back for more! 5 outta 5 read more

Can I give this place 10 stars?!! I'm gonna be brutally honest, I'm pretty critical about my sushi, and I have not found a great place to eat sushi in the PNW, until now! The sushi was amazing, and I have a lot of family visiting soon and I'm gonna bring every single one of them here ! I wasn't sure about the $14.99 per pound, but for me and my wife I spent $38 and we still over ordered! Turns out it's actually a really good price and you can probably get really full for two people for about $25 possibly !! Parking is a little bit tough, but it's super aesthetically pleasing in the seating area, which are a really cool place to hang out and even take pictures The ladies and gentlemen were super nice and super accommodating ! DISCLAIMER: if you see any bad reviews from a long time ago, they've made the necessary changes, and the quality plus experience is A1. Give this place another shot and you won't recommend it! read more

Great choice of sushi, hard to find street parking. Sushi is sold by the pound!! Busy during week lunch since in an office bldg. only a few tables in courtyard. Counter service only. read more

Wow this is one of my favorite sushi/poke spots in Bellevue! You have one side where you pick your sushi and the other to make your poke bowl! Ate around 4 pieces of sushi and a poke bowl and was very satisfied! Service was amazing and can't wait to be back! read more

First let me say, the food is amazing. The ambiance is ok. The service is ok. But they are not wheelchair user friendly at all. The main entrance is up a steep hill, but once you get there you discover it's all stairs down. You must wheel around into a parking garage, get an elevator and roll into the shop. It's a lot. Once you get your food you need to wheel to a table then get your supplies. No assistance available. The food is yummy. But I was exhausted from the experience. Sorry. read more

One of the best poke places in the area, especially for value. They do not skimp on the protein and you can get any number of their free toppings, all of which they are generous with as well. My container was extremely full, almost to the point where they couldn't close it! The variety of free toppings is also really nice, way better than many other poke places I've been. The fish is nice and fresh as well and they also have a good variety of seafood types. Do note that the miso soup costs money even though the dispenser is next to the water. read more

Delicious sushi, high quality and interesting flavors available. There was one topped with crema rosa and corn that reminded me of elote, super super good. I got approximately 10 pieces for 18 bucks, including pretty large pieces. That's a pretty good price to me. Service was good! read more

Fresh, tasty, and super convenient! I love that you can pick and choose exactly how much you want , everything is always fresh and neatly presented. A great bonus is the miso soup you can grab for free from the dispenser (though it's not always available). Overall, it's such a nice spot for a quick bite or a casual meal, clean, simple, and satisfying every time. The service is always great too:) definitely recommend :) read more

Like it's Seattle counterpart, FOB Poke Bar serves up some amazingly delicious and hefty poke bowls. Located in the basement of Amazon's Bingo building, this place does brisk business during lunchtime. The line is literally out the door most days, so get there early if you can. I usually customize my bowl since they have a lot of options and it's always SO much food. They don't skimp at all. They have a wide variety of mix-ins, your typical fish options and a few sauces you can mix and match. Definitely a great lunch option in downtown Bellevue if you're craving poke. read more

Went to FOB to see why people were raved about this place and so disappointed when we tried it. Their rice was mushy. Sushi rice wasn't supposed to be mushy. We ended up not eating the rice, because it's too mushy. read more

This place is more of a grab and go kind of thing, but if you want to dine in they do have tables in the place. I love how fast the flow here is. It's like your in a cafeteria but with way better food! They have a lot of good maki and sushi. Size wise, VERY GOOD! The only hassle thing here is that it's not an actual individual store, so parking is a little far or you would have to do some walking. The walking didn't really bother me though since the area that its at is nice and walkable. read more

I had a terrible experience at this sushi restaurant. The food might have tasted fine at first, but a few hours later, I ended up with severe stomach pain and felt really sick. It was a miserable experience, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Definitely not worth the risk! read more

FOB Poke Bar is my new go-to poke place in downtown Bellevue. It's location is indoors in the first floor of a larger building, and has plenty of seating inside. Every time I come here, the salmon is fresh. Though, my favorite thing about this place is the topping selection, which is (I think) the best of the other poke options nearby. Even the regular sized bowl is a well-sized, filling meal. The service is very quick, even when I request lots of toppings, they are quick to scoop them all. The topping sizes are also quite generous too, which I appreciate! read more

Quality, quantity and price can't be beat! I'm really happy to see this place bounce back from being closed for a bit. I love sushi and this has become my go-to place in the Bellevue area. I just love having the variety and convenience. Only thing is it can be quite busy especially being in the Amazon building so plan accordingly. read more

I know this place got a bad rap recently from a food review video but I had a great experience here. The food was great, selection was plentiful, service was great and the establishment was clean. I enjoyed probably 95% of the selections I put in my box. I hope everything works out for them, seems like they strive to do their best. read more

FOB Poke Bar - Sushi by the pound - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

My favorite sushi spot for lunch. Gets busy fast, so show up before the rush. Yummy

Did the pay by pound sushi. It has a decent value and selection. The sides were a bit lacking; I would have preferred a low sodium soy sauce option and the miso soup was very bad. Although, I enjoyed that there was lots of seating in and around the restaurant. Overall the sushi is pretty good and the service is fine for a counter-casual spot. I would come again. read more

The food seemed very fresh. The staff was friendly but not easy yo understand. I had 3 proteins - salmon, tuna and yellow tail. All seemed fresh, but amounts seemed small, especially the yellow tail. That was made up by the good variety of mixins, add ons and sauces. Especially liked the pickled radishes, crab salad and seaweed salad. Enjoyed the spicy mayo sauce. Parking is hard. We parked in the building and it was $12 fir our 2 hours. Little street parking however. Worth seeking out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

FOB Poke Bar - a bowl of food - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

So this is now turned into a sushi bar where you pay by the weight. I tried to order a poke bowl via DoorDash but they don't have that option anymore. I think they need to update their menu and third party platforms to make it known that they're now serving sushi, not poke. read more

I have been to all 3 locations of FOB Poke in the Seattle area multiple times, and they're all consistently great! Here, the fish is not pre-marinated and is sauced to order which I personally appreciate. You can tell the fish is fresh (not covered up by marinade) and can control the saltiness. I like to get sauces on the side. They have plenty of protein options (including plant based meat and cooked seafood). I love the wide array of toppings and you really can't go wrong with any of them! While the fish portion is a bit small, the amount of toppings makes up for it. And the end, the bowl will be quite filling! At $14 for a regular bowl, I feel the amount of fish is fair. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

If you love poke, you won't regret visiting this place. It's the best in Seattle, whether you want to eat in or take out. You can customize your bowl with a variety of rice, protein, sauce, and toppings. The quality is excellent and the quantity is generous. I usually get a regular size with two proteins, but sometimes I share a large size with three proteins with someone else. My personal favorites are FOB rice, seared ahi tuna, and yellowtail. The best part is that you can choose as many sauce and toppings as you like, except for avocado which costs extra. The staffs are friendly and the restaurant is never crowded. The only downside is that parking can be tricky in Bellevue downtown, so you might have to walk a few blocks to get there. read more

FOB Poke Bar - Build your own poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I visit this place almost every week! It's not your typical Hawaiian poke--think of it more as a fast-casual BYOB experience. The fob rice is incredible, and I always pair my poke with the cilantro sauce. They offer unlimited toppings, and don't hesitate to ask for a double scoop! The staff here are super generous too! read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This has to be the best poke spot in the area! I know the Seattle location is really popular, but I stopped by the Bellevue location instead since it was closer to me. This spot is takeout, but they have a seating area outside with plenty of tables. Now onto the food -- its incredible! You have your classic bowl sizes, but the best part is you get to pick unlimited toppings. I got the smallest size, and couldn't even finish. They also have seared tuna which was really good, and I got that alongside my usual choice of salmon. The toppings include spicy and regular crab salads at no additional cost, and all the veggies are all so fresh tasting as well! They even have tamago as a topping which was delicious. I'd HIGHLY recommend this spot! Definitely a must try in the area. read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke bowls - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Stoked to try this place for the longest time! It's clean, amazing variety of toppings and fish, however I wasn't a fan of their spicy aioli or their house sauce, it was quite sour and not my favorite. I would still say that the place itself was delicious, as the salmon was high quality and the atmosphere is beautiful. Bellevue doesn't have the greatest parking so I'd recommend parking near the bank or walking after the mall! The service is quick and people order fast, not to mention the portions is huge! read more

FOB Poke Bar - Build your own bowl - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

In November, I visited Fobs and had a great dining experience, but unfortunately, I ended up with food poisoning the next day. Shortly after, the restaurant shut down due to cleanliness issues. Despite this, when they reopened, I decided to give it another chance and returned today. (1/9/25) The food was just as good as I remembered, but my experience was completely ruined by the behavior of one of the staff members. She was, without a doubt, the rudest worker I have ever encountered. She appeared to be Asian, in her twenties, with dyed red hair, and her attitude was absolutely unacceptable. Whether she was having a bad day or simply hates her job, there is no excuse for the way she disrespected customers. Her behavior was not just unprofessional but outright hostile. As someone who has worked--and still works--in the restaurant industry, I understand how difficult the job can be. However, I have never witnessed or experienced such behavior in a professional setting. To whoever owns this establishment: I strongly urge you to take action. Employees like her damage the reputation of your business. She should not be representing your restaurant. read more

I love their Poke bowl! It's loaded and they are not skimpy. It's full of flavors and freshness. read more

Much like the Seattle location, FOB Poke Bar is great for some solid poke that is customizable. They have a generous amount of proteins and toppings (you can add them with no extra charge) and the serving sizes are great. Ingredients are fresh and I recommend getting the jasmine tea rice along with any type of salmon or tuna or crab. Service is great - they work fast and are super friendly. The ambience is pretty casual and the place is in a good spot for a quick bite read more

FOB Poke Bar - Poke Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I used to come here about once a month for a poke bowl since I lived nearby, but the choice to come to FOB over another poke place came down to proximity. It was good poke, just not particularly standout. But now that they have a sushi bar where you can select individual pieces and build your own sushi box, I am obsessed. The variety is great, and unlike a normal sushi restaurant (or even a conveyor belt place!) you can get a single piece of sushi to try it. This means that instead of paying $25 for a roll you may or may not enjoy, you can pay $15 a pound for whatever type of rolls and nigiri you want. This place is so busy right now that you do not have to worry about product turnover. They're pretty consistently replenishing rolls as they're depleted, so everything is relatively fresh. This is NOT going to compete with the freshness of an a la carte sushi restaurant, but at this price point and the opportunity for variety, it's quickly become one of my go to sushi spots. read more

I've seen this all over my instagram and facebook reel and had to give it a try! And it was AMAZING! First thing, you pick your box size, then grab a clean tong to self select your sushi. After you weigh and pay ($14.99/lb), you head over to their condiment bar and select your sauce of choice. Water is also self serve. The Sushi was fresh, the size was big and the presentation was on point! The large box (~$37+tip) fed my husband and I and we were stuffed! Parking garage and street parking is available. We forgot to ask if they validate parking..we ended up paying $8 on our way out. The sushi bar is one level below the main level. They do offer limited seating inside the restaurant and also offer seating outside of their restaurants in their main hall. We would definitely come back if we are in the area read more
