When I heard a Just Poke opened close in Northgate which was close to where my boyfriend used to live and our friends lived, I wanted to check it out as I've tried their other locations. It's located on the first floor on the street side on NE Northgate Way in the area where Target and Dick's are in Northgate. There's a free parking garage with ample stalls. I really only wanted the poke and saw that they actually sell them by half pound or pound. I didn't know the process of ordering by pound since I've only gotten them by bowls. One of the workers was nice enough to run it down for me. I choose a protein, choose my sauce(s) to mix with in the protein, and get a choice of up to 3 toppings (crab salad included!). I got a half pound of their Hawaiian Ahi with their spicy aioli and truffle garlic aioli. For my toppings, I had masago, crab salad, and green onions. The worker asked if I wanted any of the crispy dried toppings (fried onions, etc) which I accidentally declined (darn). Honestly, my concoction was VERY good. The ahi wasn't fresh BUT tasted fresh which was great. The two aiolis I added gave sooo much flavor, loved it! It was a tad salty. Making a mental note to maybe choose a poke without sauce or ask for less aioli. And of course, I really liked the crab salad) YUM. Definitely a good visit today! Overall, I was very happy to see that there is a location here in Northgate as the quality at this location was really good. Loved that they also sell their poke by pound rather than sticking to only by bowls! read more

Clean and cozy location. Portion sizes are way too small for price. I don't mind the portion of protein but when I was asking for my unlimited sides (which I only ever really get 2 out of all the options) they gave me such a measly serving. I have gotten much more at the location in downtown Seattle. Very sad looking bowl :/ read more

There have been times where I've stepped into a Just Poke establishment and promptly departed due to concerns about cleanliness. But not here! Perhaps it's due to its newness, but everything about this place exuded an impressive level of cleanliness and attention to detail. This reassured me enough to confidently order a bowl of raw fish, and I'm thrilled I took the chance. Not only did I not get food poisoning and die, I was very delighted with the variety and flavor of every bite. I just wish there was a Just Poke of this caliber near where I live! My only lament is that I wish there were more Just Poke locations of this caliber closer to my residence. This establishment has set a high standard for both cleanliness and culinary satisfaction that I would love to experience more regularly. read more

There's not much anything else I can think of when it comes to food I can eat every single day all year long without getting sick of -- just poke. This is it. I've lost count of how many times I've ordered from here, as a walk-in or a quick grab-and-go takeout. The place is immaculately clean with sufficient seatings. I like to mix different kind of toppings and sauces but mostly stick with salmon and tuna as proteins. Word to the wise if you choose "light" sauce, they get it right to a tee, I tried light once and I could barely taste any sauce so I went the other way and chose heavy hehe :p The staffs are patient, friendly and quick. Parking is shared parking garage with Target et al. This place is a great poke joint with consistent good quality and service. read more

I saw that a Just Poke was under construction in the Northgate plaza right by the escalators of Target. Today I passed by and saw that everything was set up, so I stopped in. Super friendly folks who said they were just starting their soft opening. Interior was nice and clean, portion sizes were good. My bowl tasted very fresh and well seasoned, no complaints! Their grand opening technically isn't until the beginning of next month, but I'm super excited for it! Make sure to come by :) read more

Just Poke is a chain establishment, so all of their portions and ingredients are pretty much standardized. I've eaten from seven different locations so far, and of all the Just Poke places I went to, this has to be towards the lower-end in terms of quality. Their salmon wasn't fresh. In addition, they weigh the meat portions on digital scales to make sure you do not get an extra ounce of meat. Their owner must be super stingy because my server took a scoop of salmon, weighted it, and then put back a piece from my bowl because it was over the stipulated amount for a single portion. read more

We live near this Northgate Just Poke location. We have given them three chances in the last two months and they've let us down, unfortunately I have to recommend you stay away. We've had both poor quality food and service. Just get poke from somewhere else. The first meal we had was good! Definitely good enough to go back. My wife and I were excited to have a new poke place near our house! The second meal let us down. The seared salmon was very extremely gamey, and the cucumber was spoiled. The cucumber tasted sour and was visibly squishy and pale/clear. Just looking at it would have made me throw it out, not put it on a bowl of poke. Not wanting to let a single bad experience stop us, we tried a third time. I scheduled a pick up order a few hours in advance so I could pick it up after work. To my surprise, I got a text 25 minutes before my scheduled pick up time that my food was ready. I walked at my scheduled pick-up time to be handed a bag of food that had been sitting on a counter for nearly a half hour. I ordered the karaage (fried chicken) so by the time I got home it was cold and soft/spongy, not freshly fried. My hot chicken was also packed in the same bag as my wife's cold sushi, warming it up. I'm not sure what they were thinking, I can't be the only person ordering ahead of time? I had been very excited for this Just Poke location, but I have to say just pay to get poke delivered from somewhere else. Disappointed. read more

I love Just Poke, I usually order delivery but yesterday my husband & I were at Target in Northgate & noticed a Just Poke, at some point a few years back it was another poke place, like a knock off lol. I ordered from the knock off & it was not good & in my opinion, over priced. Since it was a Just Poke place now, we decided to eat there. We ate in & while eating I said to my husband "wow this is probably the best poke bowl I've had out of all the poke bowls we've ordered" my husband agreed. The food was fresh, the rice was warm & toppings cool so the mixture was on point! My husband let the staff know our thoughts, which by the way the two women working there were both very polite. My husband & I both used the restroom before we left & again, agreed that the place was clean including the restroom which, if you are from Seattle you know it's hard to find clean bathrooms. All in all this Just Poke was by far the best Just Poke we have had. We used to live close to Northgate, I wish they were there when we did live nearby. If we are in the area again we will most definitely stop by for lunch! Thank you Just Poke in Northgate!! read more

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!

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.

We walked in, ordered at the tablet and sat ourselves down! Water is self serve which we grabbed before finding a seat. I ordered the small una-gyu donburi and this was delicious! Unagi was grilled and seasoned, beef was tender and the rice paired so well with the meat! Good size and we left full! Staff was nice and it got pretty busy after we got our food!

As one of my favorite businesses in Seattle, the allure of Fremont Bowl is simple: delicious bowls…read moreof Japanese comfort food served in a no frills, unpretentious environment. 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).

FOB Poke Bar

Was craving poke and so I decided to try it here. It's been a long time since i had their poke but…read moreit still as good as I remember. They give you a lot of food for the price. I think mostly people come for the sushi but the poke is as fresh and good quality. Service is good and the place is a little busy but there's plenty of seatings. I got the large bowl and it fed both me and my husband.

FOB has been all over my fyp, so it was about time I checked out what the hype was all about!…read more It's basically a build your own sushi box! They have a wide selection of nigiri, specialty rolls, and inari. Everything looked very thoughtfully curated. Loved all the variety of toppings and displays. You pay by the pound and my custom box came out to be just over $20. Honestly, a steal for this amount of food, variety, and quality! Of everything that I tried, I'd definitely say that the nigiri was my favorite. A great spot for some quick, quality, and customizable sushi!

This is a take-out only location for Japanese Dons located in Wallingford…read more The have larger bowls (Don) and smaller Bowls (Sundaes, which I think is so cute). I got the Negihana ($18.5) and the Unagi Sundae ($7.5). The prices are great, the portions are wonderful, and the fish is fresh. I ordered online and they prepped the food promptly and are polite.

Such a solid spot!…read more Was craving poke but wasn't feeling any of the options nearby so I landed in minato instead. I FN love anything sushi-related and esp dig salmon, hamachi, and ahi (if the ahi is imported from like Japan or Hawaii bc yooo why does tuna gotta taste so different depending on where it's from haha). This place offers allll that and more including a standard chirashi bowl and different combos of donburi and similar bowls. They were honest w me when I asked where they got their ahi from (staff said Mexico or the Caribbean) so I copped their hamachi and salmon bowl. Oooo hoooo that shi was gas tho. My only complaint is I wish there was more bc 10 pieces aint enough for a fatty like me lol. But pretty good value! Sushi rice was also solid. All dat was around $20 plus t/t.

Wild Fish Poke

Stopped by Wild Fish Poke while walking around Pike Place and was really impressed…read more I got a poke bowl with spicy salmon, yellowtail, and scallops. Everything tasted super fresh -- the fish had great flavor, the scallops were sweet, and the spicy salmon was just right. The toppings all worked really well together too. Nothing felt random, just a really solid, balanced bowl. Their crab salad stands out compared to the other places I've had it. Price-wise, it felt pretty reasonable compared to other spots downtown. I paid $18 after tax for a large, and it was more than enough food. Would definitely come back for a quick satisfying lunch when I'm in the area.

Walking around Pike Place Market on a hot summer day truly makes you crave something fresh and…read moreflavorful, and Wild Fish Poke was exactly what we needed. Conveniently located within the market, we came across Wild Fish Poke while craving seafood that wouldn't break the bank. The ordering process was simple, the service was quick, and I liked having the option to choose from three different bowl sizes, which felt like more variety than I usually see for poke. The fish was fresh and full of flavor, and the wide range of toppings made it easy to customize. I went with some of my usual favorites, and the final bowl absolutely hit the spot. I'm so glad we found it!

I came in expecting to be all about the coffee, but the Banana Pudding Matcha completely surprised…read moreme! I'm usually not a matcha fan, but this drink won me over. It was creamy, lightly sweet, and topped with the most satisfying crunchy goodness that added the perfect texture. Then came the Phê Mê--coffee with condensed milk and black sesame cream. This was the drink for me. Rich, smooth, nutty, and unlike anything I've had before. It's one of those drinks that makes you slow down because every sip is worth savoring. The coffee isn't just delicious--it's craftsmanship in a cup. The space is inviting and makes you want to linger longer with your friends sipping on these delicious beverages.

Arrived mid-afternoon on a weekday and there was a line out the door. Seems typical for a trendy…read moreplace in Seattle. We waited ~15 mins before ordering. We ordered the matcha banana pudding and hojicha ginger tofu pudding lattes. Service took ~10 mins. The matcha banana pudding was yummy. The matcha was of good quality and the banana pudding top was a smooth, cream top that tasted just like banana pudding, with a fun crunch in the topping. The hojicha ginger tofu was a bit more adventurous in flavor. The ginger and tofu messed with my brain and made it feel like I was drinking a savory asian sauce/soup, but the drink was still sweet. I kept sipping, but the strange savory/sweet limbo never really balanced correctly to truly enjoy the drink. On the plus side, the silken tofu was fun to sip through the straw and added some protein. There is seating indoors, but the tables can fill up quickly. Some people were wfh, but most were chatting. There is 1 hr complimentary WiFi. Typical Seattle street parking. Overall, the latte flavors were fun to try and it was an aesthetic cafe. But, the prices for the lattes make them more of a novel, hyped up purchase.

Salty’s at the SEA

Today wasn't the travel day I had planned. While on a work trip, I received some difficult news and…read morehad to cut the trip short and head home. Before my flight, I decided to stop at Salty's for breakfast. I'm a sucker for crab, but I wasn't especially hungry, so I ordered a cup of the chowder with crab. It turned out to be one of the best cups of chowder I've ever had--rich, flavorful, and loaded with crab. I sat at the bar, where Joyce took great care of me. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an otherwise difficult day a little easier. Great service can make a real difference, and she absolutely delivered. Salty's isn't the cheapest dining option at SEA, but between the quality of the food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the outstanding service, I think it's well worth it. If you're looking for a great meal before your flight, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

2.75/5 -- Came in with high expectations given the reputation and the prices, and left…read moreunderwhelmed. The good: the seafood chowder lives up to the hype. Rich, loaded with clams, easily the best thing on the table. Fries were also solid. The halibut fish & chips ($46 for three pieces) was the letdown. The fish was over-fried to the point that it fell apart as I ate it -- disappointing for a fish of that quality at that price. Halibut should hold together in firm, flaky pieces; this didn't. But the real issue was the service. What made it impossible to write off as a busy day was that my server was attentive to the table right next to me -- she asked the gentleman beside me how his meal was and refilled his water, while mine sat clearly empty and I was never checked on once. No introduction, no recommendations, no plates cleared. When I asked for something as simple as pepper, I got attitude, like I was putting her out. I typically tip 25%. I left 15% and honestly felt that was generous for what I received. At these prices, the food needs to be executed properly and the service needs to match. The chowder alone isn't enough to carry a $60+ meal. Would I come back? Maybe for a cup of chowder at the bar. Not for the full experience.

I ordered the Double Matcha Moment (matcha latte with a matcha cream top) and it was perfect! Silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. I especially appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, allowing the pronounced floral notes of the matcha to come through beautifully. Hands down the best matcha I've had in Seattle! Drinks were made within 5 minutes of ordering and the cashier was very nice and patient. Free street parking is available and the interior has a modern and contemporary design. Lots of seats available as it has two stories as well. Free wifi so great place to study, too! Overall, loved the aesthetics of the establishment and the quality of their drinks! Would definitely recommend!

The service was very sweet, and it's a great spot whether you're looking to catch up with friends or settle in and be productive. The matcha tasted high quality and was nicely balanced. I asked for it less sweet, and it came out exactly how I hoped. As someone who drinks a lot of matcha, I appreciated that it still allowed the flavor of the tea to shine through. Another thing I appreciated was how clean and comfortable the space felt. The bathrooms were well maintained, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and there were plenty of people working quietly around me. Overall, a great café for both getting work done and enjoying a quality drink.

Old Stove Brewing - Pike Place

Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. 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. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!
