    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.

    Salmon poke bowl

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Georgetown has some nice hidden gems and I would consider this one of them... just good,…read moreno-nonsense Japanese rice bowls of comfort. If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!

    Might be the minority here and say it's just average. Was hungry and passing through the area and…read moresaw they had a seared salmon bowl (Aburi Sake Don). 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).
