Part of me wanted to give Ono a bad review. They've pretty much ruined poke for me everywhere else. They have the freshest fish you'll possibly ever get in this area. Their seasoning is super authentic and just plain delicious. If you desire the best tasting raw seafood, look nowhere else. read more

This place is so good!!!!! The fish is fresh, marinades are delicious and they give LARGE portions. I got the Hamachi and Spicy Salmon and it was soo good. The restuarant workers are also really friendly. Expect a bit of a wait during lunch/dinner rushes though, but I'd say it's worth it. read more

Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke - Poke Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Oct 16th 2021, we spent $20 for literally 3 oz of fish in a regular size poke bowl. The young lady that works there was having a bad day I think and wanted her shift over with - she got our order wrong and when I mentioned it - phew boy she didn't like that she had to fix the order. So she took it out on us and barely gave us a scoop of fish. Usually Ono makes great food, but the service this time with the girl's attitude and passive aggressive giving of tiny portions...just leaves a bad taste in me and my wife's mouth. For customers in this situation, would any of you speak up knowing you're short changed? It's awkward isn't it. So no we won't be back, at least not when she's working there. read more

Food was amazing!!! So fresh it really did remind me of poke in Waikiki HI. The workers were so kind and friendly! The restaurant itself was very clean and quiet. It does get busy during the prime lunch hours but they are pretty quick with getting orders out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I've seen this place when yelping poke spots. So on this trip to Seattle we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by the owner who happened to be from my hometown on Oahu. So you already know that he knows what great poke should taste like! We tried Spicy salmon, miso salmon, hamachi in a poke bowl with choice of 1 side. All of it was super delish!!! I love having places like this go to which remind me of the unique flavors of Hawaii. Mmmmm good!! read more

Service was very friendly, but the flavors and textures were sadly below par. We ordered a 1/2 lb of spicy tuna, 1/2 of spicy salmon, and 1 lb of cucumber kimchee. I would say that I consider myself an avid poke fan, going for places that serve it by the lb instead of the bowls, so I was excited to take some home. The first bite of the cucumber kimchee I knew this was going to be interesting. The cucumbers were old and the edges were starting to curl with the skin looking wilted and sad. The crunch was still good, but the flavor was incredibly bland, a chili juice of some sort. The liquid was more water than kimchi. The spicy salmon had the same bland flavor but almost went crazy when I saw that they had added halved cherry tomatoes. Maybe I'm a bit of a purist, but that is a big Hawaiian no-no, not sure where the authentic part comes in... The spicy ahi was the better of the two, but still left something to be desired... The worst part was the texture of the fish. Similar to a steak, fish should be sliced according to the grain. If you examined the pieces of fish it looked like the fish was sliced in every direction, so you ended up with most of the pieces of fish having weird chewy parts (where the intersection of the fish meat occurred). I'm sure it's so that no piece is wasted, but it ends up being a really inconsistent piece every bite. read more

Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke - Cucumber kimchee, spicy ahi, spicy salmon. - Poke Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Aloha! I heard once that the best poke in the Puget Sound area was Ono in Edmonds. I can't really confirm or deny, since after going there once, I pretty much stopped eating poke everywhere else. It's not one of those places with tiny dry squares of fish and an entire salad bar to dress it up. The chef makes his own sauced creations and you get to pick from that day's offerings. Consistently super-fresh with incredible flavor, this is the place where I first tried salmon poke and had my mind blown. And the staff always seem friendly and happy. It's a bit of a hike from where I live, but I happily brave the freeways for the best poke in the area. read more

Came in wanting some nice poke, and now we don't even know if we've ever actually had poke until now. This is the freshest, most beautiful fish! The workers are so very kind and friendly and let us try some options before picking out what we wanted. Steven recommended their Hamachi and Tako and it was absolutely phenomenal. We really can't wait to come back read more

I've been looking for legit HI poke for years all over the west coast... THIS PLACE IS LEGIT - best Poke I've had outside of Hawaii and honestly if you served me this while I was in Hawaii I wouldn't know it was from the states. This isn't the typical chipotle version of poke - it's authentic island poke. The owner is super nice and friendly, the staff amazing, and the poke is absolutely unreal. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Best, most fresh Poke I have had. Love the Mac salad! Also very large portion sizes as well.

It seems there's an explosion to offer poke wherever you look these days. However, it's all about the freshness of product. I've only had poke while in Kauai, once from a very popular spot in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood, and this afternoon at Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke in Edmonds. And this location definitely delivers the goods! The owner transformed a former Starbucks into a destination where product can run out hours prior to closing. We stupidly showed up at 230pm Sunday afternoon and there was barely any poke available! You've been warned! The owner is a motorcycle club friend of my brother. After I introduced myself and The Homie, I received a hug. Now how welcoming is that?! All of the counter staff were very friendly too. Bright location also played music videos of contemporary Hawaiian music artists on a flat screen. Makes for a dining destination....just show up earlier than we did to have better selection and availability. You've been warned again! We managed to get a small order of spicy salmon with rice ($9) and a double regular bowl with shoyu ahi, spicy salmon, and salad ($12), plus a pair of Hawaiian Sun beverages ($1.50 each). Delicious and highly recommended! Love that Edmonds has so many dining establishments of exceptional quality. read more

Visited as a family last night about an hour to close. Fish was fresh, portions were generous, pleasant and clean environment, parking was easy. Cucumber kimchi was the most spicy, seaweed salad was really good. The shoyu salmon was my favorite, but the other choices were delicious too. Unanimous 5 stars from our family. read more

They are seriously smart for opening up a poke place up north! For portions (they don't give enough proteins) and quality (decent), they are pricier than most poke places out there, but let's put it this way... gas is getting expensive and traffic is awful, so settling for a place closer to home is still cheaper and faster than traveling to Seattle for poke! Cute little place. Great friendly people. They do need to work on taking orders and checking people out. The set up was quite confusing when we were there during their first week of opening. By the time it was our turn to order, a man greeted us and took my fiance's order then turned away and prepared the food, leaving me standing around waiting for my turn. After a few mins, an older lady at the cashier called me over and asked what we ordered. Told her that I haven't ordered and she said I can order through her. We thought instead of taking one order at a time, he could've taken both of our orders and prep for the food at once, or have the cashier take orders, etc. many many ways to minimize waiting time and improve for less confusions to customers read more

I'm not the poke eater in the house (the mrs. is) but everything we order from here is broke-da-mouth-onolicious-to-da-max cuz (its quite delicious). Regardless of my lack of poke consumption I always enjoy watching the chef cut the beautiful fresh fish they get in for their poke. Thw atmosphere is always warm and reminds me of home. It's ono kine grinds. read more

Best poke ever!!! I personally like salmon the best, but everything they have is awesome. Seaweed salad and rice combined with the fish of your choice is the way to go! read more

I use to work at a Hawaiian restaurant in Oregon and the way the Poke was prepared really turned me off to ever trying it. My girlfriend finally convinced me to get some poke and oh boy I loved it! The flavors and texture were amazing, this wonderful establishment completely changed my perspective on poke and I spent more money on bad sushi in the past. Completely worth the price! The fish is so fresh! The Mac salad is prestigious as well. Now I'm scared to try other poke restaurants based off the such high expectations I have garnered from this place! Thank you Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke! read more

we came here on saturday noonish and got two medium bowls, i got spicy masago hamachi + tamari miso garlic salmon w/ macaroni salad + seaweed salad + edamame (basically all the works) and each side is an extra $2. the total came out to $50 which was a big pricey in my opinion. the marinate was creamy and the flavors were bursting in my mouth. this place definitely lives up to the hype and i would 1000/10 recommend everyone to try this place if they are ever in seattle area. so delicious :)) read more

The price here is higher than other poke places and with less variation/options to choose from. I was hoping a large ($18) would contain more content. (See picture) also the the overall display is mediocre. Went at around 6pm, the two things I was really craving were out- spicy ahi and seaweed. Pretty bummed but nonetheless, it tasted really good because the spicy salmon. The workers were really friendly and were kind to offer a sample. Also enjoyed the atmosphere with ocean vibes music. However, probably will not visit again because there are better poke options for the same price. read more

Ono authentic Hawaiian Poke tries to deliver on the traditional flavors and dishes of Hawaiian Poke but falls dramatically short. Service was excellent. The owner and the workers really seem to take pride in running this place. They greet each customer with with warm genuine Hawaiian hospitality. The major short comings is the balance of value (price) vs flavors (is it worth it). I don't mind paying for good Poke however Ono is not the same or similar quality and flavors of the actual Ono of Hawaii. The quality of cuts which the worker claims fresh, never frozen tuna flown from Hawaii has too much sinew or connective tissue which makes the tuna chewy. By the way the only way any potential parasites are killed are by freezing the fish. All fish including tuna grade sushi should be frozen prior to serving to ensure the safety. Perhaps the worker wasn't aware of this. Truth is Ono does not serve sushi grade tuna. Another huge negative in my opinion is the sauce or flavors included with the poke. I've had the best from Hawaii and a few good ones here in Bellevue and Kirkland area. Ono for some reason lacked major flavors. Felt like I was just eating Tuna with Rice. Truly a disappointment for spending over $40 for 2 large Ono plates and two Hawaiian Can Soft drinks. Unfortunately for my wife and I this place was a pass on Poke. Response to Steven O. No need to get defensive or personal. Name calling? Yelp Elite Box? That's really mature. But I realize after reading some of your other responses I understand now. Sharing my perception and my experience is my reality. You don't need to agree with it or approve it. No need to be defensive and make assumptions of my experiences. Keep making your poke the way you like, your the owner. Just not my cup of tea. Just something else to consider, you don't have to be from Hawaii to know if a Poke taste good or not. I didn't bash your horrible Cucumber Kimchi saying your not Korean. You need to chill out Bruddah. Shaka. read more

This was my first time trying poke and i honestly wasn't sure what to expect because i hadn't fully tried raw fish before but i was pleasantly surprised to find that the hamachi poke and tofu over rice i got was delicious and seasoned so well. It got me hooked on poke ever since so i definitely recommend you give it a shot. read more

(I used to write Yelp reviews a lot, but took a long break. I came back just to make this review) It just doesn't get any better than Ono Poke, y'all. I'm in here probably once a week and CANNOT get enough. My faves: garlic salmon, miso salmon, spicy sambal Ahi, and always the Hamachi. But honestly, it's ALL good. This is the real deal and no other poke (at least that I've ever tried on the mainland and on Kauai) matches it. There are definitely some reviews below from people who grew up in Hawaii who can speak to the authenticity better than I can. However, as a self- proclaimed "seafoodie", I can speak to the quality of fish, and it is unrivaled. Sides are great too. Don't underestimate the mac salad. That would be a big mistake. (One that I've made and learned from) When COVID hit, my spouse and I chose three local businesses to support because we would be devastated if they didn't make it. Ono is at the top of the list. Take all my money and fill my belly with all the poke. Oh yeah, and if course, the staff and owner couldn't be friendlier. I just love it here. read more

This is absolutely the best poke restaurant in Seattle! The fish is so unbelievably fresh and you can taste it in every savory bite. The quality of the food is a testament to their daily shipments of fresh seafood. This is my third time visiting Ono and I am completely hooked and no longer crave other Poke places in the area. I always get the large poke bowls because I always pig out on poke and the quality and portions of the food are worth the premium price of the large size. Of course, the owner staff are very friendly and personable. They seem to remember a lot of names of their regular customers. As other reviewers said, go early in the day since they're really busy and run out of stuff later in the day. If you're in the Edmonds area, you must check this place out! I'm already craving my 4th visit despite just eating a large bowl in one go just mere hours ago! read more

Went here one day when I was craving some authentic poké. Heard great things about this place and how it's ran by a local so he knows his stuff. Went in to try some, got tako poké, limu ahi, and the spicy ahi. I would say the tako and limu ahi was good, but the spicy ahi not so much. I felt like it was just being covered in heat and could barely taste the fish with my mouth burning. Definitely go for the more fish forward poké like limu or shoyu. I would say portion to price it was alright, pretty on par from what I've seen. Service was friendly as this was the first time going. read more

The best Poke I ever had! They have king crab salad!!! I tried all their samples. My favorite ones are oyster salmon, original ahi, talk, and king crab salad! Yummmy, and they also does weight by pounds. They have sashimi palate which I will definitely try next time. Their tako and hamachi are from Japan, and salmon ahi from Canada. :) enjoy this so much read more

I have been meaning to come by Ono Poke for a while, finally made it out there today, and holy moly am I glad I did. The restaurant itself is very clean and offers some excellent island vibes. The people working there were friendly and patient when it took me a moment to figure out what I wanted. I haven't had poke this fresh since I was last visiting Hawaii. I tried both the salmon and the scallops and both had distinct and delicious flavors, and were melt-in-your-mouth fresh. The mac salad scratched an itch I didn't know I had, and I ate the whole poke bowl so fast that I'm still in a food coma. I regret nothing and will actively seek excuses to go back and try more. Ono Poke was well worth the trip!! read more

Delicious. Went here for the first time today. It has a spacious parking lot. Despite being third in line it only took 5 min from entering to getting my food and leaving. That's some quick service! I ordered the small bowl which is one poke plus one side. I got the spicy salmon, seaweed salad, and 50/50 rice/lettuce. It was delicious! The salmon was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. The rice was cooked perfectly and the salad plus seaweed salad balanced everything out. I can't wait to come back for more. read more

I know it's in Edmunds but if you're out that way then stop off and try this place. First off super friendly. Everyone is nice and smiles and overall good vibes. The food is good. Got the traditional ahi, the Hamachi and the Taki. One bowl which had mac salad, edamame and seaweed salad. It's a little pricey with paying 1.00 per extra side but it's a good amount of food and its good poke. I eat at a lot of poke places and this one is now at the top of the list. Grab some to go and head down to the water and hang out and eat one day. You won't be disappointed. Sorry no photos. I'm not a food picture person so I always forget to take pics!!!! read more

I feel like I've tried pretty much all the poke joints in Seattle and this is hands-down my favorite. They are consistently so so good. My hair salon is in Edmonds and I will time my appointments just so I can make sure to hit this place each time. The fish is always fresh, good portions, and the spicy options have a good kick (I'm always disappointed when places say spicy but there isn't any). The staff is always friendly and parking is easy - so it's all win/win/win. Menu changes daily, so check their Facebook for the latest. I will definitely keep making the drive out here for the city's best poke. read more

First off, I am very picky with raw fish. If the texture isn't perfect I just can't do it. The scallops were too squishy for me but my husband loved it. So that's just me. The spicy tuna was amazing! It literally has the perfect mouthfeel. They have their poke skills down here! Keep in mind this is Hawaiian style so different from other poke places but I loved it! The cucumber kimchi was fire! Literally lol, it was really spicy but worth every bite! Now I need to come back to try every item! My husband loves poke so I know this will be a place we return! Give them a try!

I had food poisoning after eating their food! About two hours after eating the poke bowel, I had stomachache and then I had diarrhea a few times throughout the night, and threw up really badly. The worst thing is the stomachache last for the whole night, and hasn't gone away since then. Before I left a review, I had called the restaurant and told them their food might have an issue. I wasn't happy about their respond because they said they haven't heard about other people have the same issue and then hung up the phone. I got the receipt here. read more
