    Easily the best poke spot in Seattle greater area without a doubt. Parking is no where to be found so make sure you order online and pick it up. Seating is also limited. Fish is extremely fish and they do not skimp out on it. The toppings were hearty and perfect.

    Deliver order. Very fresh fish and toppings. Good portion size. White rice was tasty and well flavored, while the brown rice was a bit overcooked and dry.

    Super tasty poke bowl!! Wow this was such a large beautiful poke bowl. Unlimited toppings and super yummy salmon. I ordered online which was very easy and the bowl was prepared quickly. Pickup was very easy and I liked all the toppings that I got. I tried ginger, seaweed salad, seaweed, citrus mango, tofu (surprised this was part of the unlimited toppings!), crispy onions, edamame, and crab salad. They had the good crab salad with lots of mayo.

    RIP - had the most painful food poisoning in my life after eating salmon and hamachi here. Had nothing else that day and my partner did not get sick from his tuna. Hopefully just a one-off experience. I still love FOB poke but unfortunately I don't think I'll ever come back to this location.

    I randomly came across this place when I craved poke for a Friday night dinner. It was a little later than dinner time but I am so incredibly impressed with this place. LOCATION & PARKING // It's on Broadway so there isn't a parking lot or anything. You will have to park on the street but I was able to find parking pretty easily right in front on a Friday night. This could just be because of COVID though. ORDERING PROCESS // I ordered online but BE AWARE that if you click on the link through Yelp and the payment does not go through, you will have to completely redo your order. This isn't usually a big deal but with how many options you have in your order, it may take awhile. Just keep that in mind. Overall, it was super easy and the food was ready in 20 minutes. FOOD // I looooved this bowl! The reviews are all true. There are so many options to customize your bowl which I love. The fish was super fresh and the toppings were just perfect. The only thing I would say is that their only SPICY TUNA option is mashed. It was flavorful and I didn't even have to add any extra furikake on my rice. The portion size was perfect too. My last poke meal was from Seattle Fish Guys, which we all know is great, but this absolutely hit the spot and it does not come second place at all. OVERALL // 5 stars I really enjoyed this meal! I wish more people knew about this place.

    A quick and convenient place in Cap Hill to meet your Poke needs. This place has a large assortment of toppings and fish options that you will be able to craft your ideal Poke bowl. As for the fish quality, I think this is a notch down from Seattle Fish Guys--it didn't have the same buttery melt in your mouth type wow factor, but still was a decent lunch option nonetheless.

    This place is soooo good. I may or may not have went here 4 days in a row after I first tried it... I went during my lunch break so I didn't eat inside and I came in right before closing each time. The space is so clean and the service is so quick and friendly. They give you generous portions of each of your selections and it's so filling. There are so many options on how to build your bowl! Everything is fresh and tastes so good. I'm obsessed and I will keep coming back!

    With just a weekend to spend in Seattle, I knew I'd have few chances to see what kind of poke the city has to offer. After doing some research on my own and asking the locals in Capitol Hill, I heard this place was the real deal for "mainland style" poke. And I can get behind that statement! I got a regular sized bowl with salmon and tuna as my protein, mixed greens and FOB rice as my base, and a handful of toppings and mix-ins. Toppings are unlimited, so I didn't hesitate to try anything that looked tasty. My favorite topping was the tamagoyaki, which is a Japanese-style rolled omelette with a bit of sweetness to it. The fish itself was soft and fresh, while the base-to-protein ratio was great. I got to enjoy the fish until the very end of my bowl. Service was nice and snappy. If you're interested in building a bowl, they'll ask you some guiding questions as they build it for you. The interior was clean, had a good deal of available seating, and features a cute accent wall. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good bowl of poke :)

    FOB Poke Bar is a fast-casual customizable poke bowl spot serving high quality fish at an affordable price point. We made poke bowls with fragrant jasmine rice, salmon, ahi tuna, green onion, spicy mayo and soy sauce, seaweed salad, spicy crab salad, avocado, and wonton crisps. We love this no-frills establishment

    I thought I didn't like Poké, until I ate here. I love this place so much! My generous foodie friend drove me here because she was craving it. We parked on the street, paid for 30 min parking, and headed inside. On a Saturday at 3pm, there was no line. The workers were so patient with me as I read through the comprehensive list of ingredients. To my surprise, there's no hidden fees when creating your customized bowl. I know of other Poké places that only let you choose 2-3 add ons, but FOB Poké encourages you to go crazy with it. The textures and flavors of this bowl has convinced me that I'll never set foot in a chipotle again. The FOB rice was flavorful and maintained a great texture while still chilled. I did half salmon, which was buttery and rich, and half shrimp which I was very pleased with the simple steamed taste and size. The real winners of the bowl was the zesty mango dressing and mango topping. Not sure if that's something I could ever recreate in my lifetime. I added cucumber mix in, grilled tofu, roasted corn, all three crunchy toppings, spicy crab salad, and tomatoes. The freshness of this bowl had me feeling like a springtime breeze. Can't wait to come back.

    Back in Seattle a year removed from our last stay. Out of the couple dozen places we ate at during our last trip, FOB Poke Bar was my hands down favorite. I've been craving it ever since I left. The wait ended after we did Uber Eats tonight. I got a regular size bowl this time but with pretty much the exact same stuff as last time (ahi, spicy tuna mash, and a ton of add-ons) except I added the corn and takuwan this time. My wife also got her first bowl consisting of hamachi and shrimp, with about half as many add-ons as me :) Still hands down the best poke bowl I've ever eaten. I use to think the poke bowls in Hawaii were the best but not any more. You simply can't beat the quality of the fish and the variety of the add-ons at FOB. And the fact that they don't charge you for, or limit the amount of add-ons, is just astonishing. I love this place.

    Regular bowl with salmon and ahi ($10.99)

    My family is from Hawaii and so I grew up with poké years before it became popular on the west coast. With that said, FOB Poké is by far the BEST poké you can get in Seattle! Like most poké places, it's BYOB (build your own bowl) so you can customize it to your liking. What differentiates FOB from other poké places? 1) They offer FOB RICE which is jasmine rice infused with green tea and coconut. It's my favorite base to get, but they also offer white rice, brown rice, kale, arugula, spring mix, spinach, and tortilla chips. You can also opt for half and half. 2) They offer at least ten different protein choices including hamachi tuna, scallop, seared ahi, and unagi (+$2). My favorites are the ahi and salmon though. 3) They have a variety of sauces such as zesty mango and creamy cilantro. 4) You can get UNLIMITED TOPPINGS for no extra charge (with the exception of avocado (+$1)). Guess who got double of everything!!!!!???? - - - not me, but hey, no judgement if you do! :) Unique toppings include tofu, jicama and watermelon radish. My favorite toppings are the tamagoyaki (sweet egg) and mango so I always get double of those. 5) FOB only uses sustainably caught and sushi quality fish as well as handcrafted sauces (at least according to the sign behind the counter). 6) Service is superb. The server today asked if I wanted anything else after every step and was super friendly. I saw another guy order four orders of poké and she was very patient and offered her personal recommendations to him too. There's usually only one server working behind the counter at a time, but they're able to keep up with the demand with no problem. 7) There are cute succulents on the wall :) Actually the whole place is super modern, aesthetic and clean. Overall: 5/5 food, 5/5 service, 5/5 ambiance.

    This is hands down my all-time favorite Poke place! Every time I eat here, I come out really full; their bowls could last me two meals. I love their unlimited side toppings and their protein is so fresh and delicious. I always get their Fob Poke rice and spicy tuna. There are also cooked protein options. A must-try place!

Ordering kiosks inside, not a lot of in person contact. (Perfect for some) The menu options are great. They have a "create your own" plate option, which I got. I ordered 1/2 teriyaki chicken and 1/2 sesame chicken, with brown rice. The meal was $14. If you ask me, that is a hell of a deal! The portion size was pretty hearty. Wait time said 14 minutes, but it was only around 10 minutes. The teriyaki was my fave of the 2 chicken entrees. The meat was thick, juicy and flavorful. (No gross fatty pieces!) The sesame was good too, but next time I would get a full order of the teriyaki alone. In, out, delicious food, good portion size and a decent price! What more could you ask for!!?

For that, I am giving you three stars, but for everything else, I give one to two stars. The white rice is usually dry and just does not taste that good. Sesame noodles and are always way too salty. Spam musubi is way too salty (does it really need a salty sauce on top of already salty Spam?). Bok choy greens are not cooked right (they taste chewy) and way too salty. The mac salad is surprisingly not too salty but just bland. Sesame chicken is fried in a super thick batter and is goopy and hard rather than crispy and savory. Same goes for the fried cauliflower. We tried you EIGHT TIMES, Grillbird. We wanted to like you and gave you many chances, but alas, you have missed the mark too many times. We won't be back. ps. If you ever bring back your five-spice stewed beef, we might be back. That beef was amazing.

    SWEETGREENS @ KIRKLAND…read more This was my first time visiting Sweetgreen in Kirkland, located in Totem Lake. Totem Lake is a great area to explore, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater all within walking distance. It's a nice spot if you're looking to spend some time around the Kirkland area. I've heard a lot about Sweetgreen, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The concept reminded me a lot of Chipotle since you can choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces to create your own bowl. They also offer a variety of signature bowls if you don't want to build your own. Options included bowls with pesto, steak, and other combinations already put together for you. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't the best. The staff didn't seem very friendly, and everything felt rushed. Since my dad and I were both first time customers, we weren't exactly sure what to order. It felt like we were being hurried through the line rather than being helped. For my bowl, I chose quinoa, romaine lettuce, and chicken. They had temporarily run out of chicken, but thankfully a fresh batch came out after only a few minutes, which I appreciated. I also noticed that the tables inside were pretty dirty, so we decided to sit outside instead. The outdoor seating was much more enjoyable anyway. As for the food, I thought it was good overall. I liked that everything tasted fresh and seemed to be made with wholesome ingredients. The vegetables were crisp, and the bowl felt healthy and filling. My biggest complaint was the chicken. It wasn't seasoned very much and tasted pretty plain, so I found myself relying on the sauce to add flavor to the meal. Overall, the food was decent, but the customer service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I don't think I would return to this particular location, but I'd be willing to give another Sweetgreen a try in the future, especially to test out some of their wraps or other menu options.
