    Very bright
    Steven E.

    We've tried Poke in most every state but Hawaii itself, I'd put this joint in our top ten. Fresh ingredients, esp. the salmon. Plenty of options, more than most poke bars we've visited. Everything tasted sensational, too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The part I loved most was the decor and overall atmosphere. From the personalized art on the walls to the informative waste/recycle area; it was actually far more enjoyable to dine-in as opposed to carry-out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Considering the nasty neighborhood they're located in, that says quite a bit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I feel the cost is reasonable; especially when you factor in the quality and the vast array of options. The only drawback is the ineffective customer service. Not very friendly and not at all helpful. It's probably rough on first-timers, but since we eat this quite often, we persevered. 05/25

    This place used to be a staple in my poke rotation. I enjoy all the toppings options. They have a great variety and service is always quick. Last time I went the watermelon radish was horribly bitter and affected the taste of the whole bowl.

    FOB Poke seriously delivers when it comes to food--but wow, the location is rough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While we were eating, we got a full-blown live show of drug deals across the street and a series of loud homeless rants. The stretch along 3rd Street reeks of human pee, and when we finished, we made a beeline out of the area. Definitely not somewhere I'd linger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That said, the food was a huge and unexpected win. They have so many options, and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The coconut and green tea infused jasmine rice was amazing, and their salmon was super fresh. They offer tons of sauce options--my favorites were the FOB house sauce and the creamy cilantro. And the toppings? Absolutely stacked. The zesty mango was such a unique touch, and I loved that they had seaweed salad, edamame, imitation crab, cucumbers, and more--all included. The only thing that cost extra was avocado, which is totally fair. We ordered 3 bowls for around $40, and we ate every bite happily. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If FOB Poke were in a better neighborhood, I'd be here all the time. For now, it's a "get in, get your food, and get out" kind of place--but worth it for the quality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    It has to be one of my more favorite poke places! There's plenty of options and the best part is that they don't charge extra. A lot of poke places charge extra for sauce or toppings, but the only thing extra here is the avocado. It was saucy and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing is that it is in a bit of an uncomfortable area, we had to park next to a park down the street and immediately had something thrown on the car and a few people in the nude chillin at the park, but that's the only negative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wish I could come here alone whenever I was craving poke instead of grabbing someone to come with me for safety lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Decent poke spot, I really like the topping options and that you can add most of them for no extra charge. I wish that they mixed the bowl a little more since i had to dig past the toppings to get to the fish/rice

    Walked over to get an early lunch at around 11 am. There were some people in line but it gave us time to look at their extensive menu. It doesn't limit much except for the number of proteins you get with the size which is pretty generous. We ate it in the restaurant and they had a free miso soup machine as well. Build Your Own Regular Bowl - I got brown rice with green onion, cucumber, FOB poke sauce which I assumed was house sauce with sesame sauce, salmon, seared ahi tuna, edamame, mango, seaweed salad, crabmeat and topped with the wonton strips. All together, everything tasted fresh from the mango to seaweed salad to the big portions of fish that they put in as well as savory and umami from the sauces. For 14.99, this was a massive portion that we were both not able to finish on our own. A great place to get fresh poke with many menu options.

    Nothing much to say! Fresh sushi! Self service so pick how much you can eat I would start small then go back for seconds if needed Don't forget about a cold beverage! To wash it down

    I loved that toppings were free and unlimited even masago, tamagoyaki, crab meat etc. I got the regular (seared ahi tuna and scallops, $14.99) and thought it was pretty worth it

    Katherine G.

    Delicious poke! Ive reviewed FOB in many other locations, and its always great. We came because the line for FOB sushi was too long, and this was close by. I usually go for the salmon and yellowtail, both of which are super fresh and buttery. They also have so many toppings and I love how you can get both crab salads and also tamago and tons of veggies. A hearty and filling meal that is super delicious and dependable!

    FOB Poke Bar I loved this place so much I went twice during my stay in Seattle. FOB Poke Bar isn't in the safest area, so be cautious. The workers are very nice, and the portions are generous. I really enjoyed the FOB rice and appreciated the wide variety of toppings, most of which are free. I got the large bowl both times, with salmon, for 17.99. I really wish this place was in San Francisco. Hope to see this place in SF one day

    Regular poke with salmon and tuna
    Jevin H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A no nonsense poke spot in downtown Seattle (I think).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walking to the restaurant can be a trip in and of itself, but the food here is worth it. The regular poke ended up being ~$19 with tax and tip. I liked the unique toppings that you typically can't find at other poke spots like chick peas and whole cherry tomatoes. Definitely would recommend getting the fob rice and fob sauce as they were unique and tasted good.

    My amazing bowl!
    Alexa D.

    It's hard for me to veer from my usual poke spots, but this place just got added to my list! They have TONS of options for toppings and sauces and have the whole menu labeled with gluten free symbols which made it really easy for me to select my options. I was so impressed with their selection and how fun their sauces are! The staff is very friendly and hygienic and got us through the line quickly. The ambiance is lacking for sure- just one or two tables and lots of homeless people outside the door. Would definitely take it to go. I loved my bowl and can't wait to return!

    Wendi K.

    I came here after seeing that the line for FOB Sushi Bar was miles long. Most options I have ever seen at a BYO poke spot! Tamago as a topping?! Yes, please! I paid about $15 (after tax) for a regular poke bowl. Their assembly line is maximally efficient! I loved the complimentary miso soup dispenser too. There is a limited amount of seating inside.

    I am in Seattle visiting with my parents for the USA vs Australia World Cup game. We decided to go…read moreto Aerlume for happy hour after I saw some great reviews on Google. The experience exceeded my expectations, specifically for exceptional service! As we walked in the door, the hostess was super friendly. We sat at the large high-top table with the fire pit nearest to the hostess stand with a view of the water. Our server, Amber, consistently went above and beyond and carried herself with a bubbly and positive aura. She guided our selections of fries, fish tacos, salmon mousse, and tuna poke bites and frequently checked on us to make sure we were doing okay. Amber was also very professional and polite when she cleared plates and dropped off the drinks and food. Speaking of the food, every dish had great presentation. I wouldn't say the taste was out of the world but everything was still good and worth the price. The two hours we spent there flew by and by the time we decided to wrap up, all three of us were commenting on the great service (which led me to write this review). As a final gesture of hospitality by the restaurant, the hostess let my mom keep the bar purse hook that was given to her to hang her purse. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Seattle.

    My best description of the overall experience is what the new generation describes as "mid". For an…read moreover $300 tab, our server checked on us approximately 3 times, the introduction, to take our drink/appetizer order, and to take our dinner order. Following the initial three visits, the last time we were visited was to ask if we wanted dessert, to which I asked for the check. The manager, Scott, filled in the gap of noticing when my partner was low on a beverage and checking to see if we liked our food. Taste is subjective, however, it was shocking to experience the lack of the most basic seasonings... salt. The most minuscule amount would have made a difference. I would have asked for some but again, there wasn't much of an opportunity. The steak which costed $79, seemed to lack a salted seared crust. The $16 dollar foraged and sautéed mushroom, might as well been foraged tossed in a frying pan to make them soggy without the slightest hint of salt, pepper, or even butter. The reviews seemed decent and the views looked beautiful but if you're looking to spend money on a nice evening, I would suggest looking elsewhere, as I would take okay service and great food over okay service and okay (expensive) food.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere was fantastic, the service was friendly and attentive, and the bar offered a great selection of cocktails and spirits.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs.

We also got a round of beers. Or in my case I got their hard seltzer, which wasn't too bad, I would probably just get a light beer next time. Service was great outside!
