Unbeatable prices. The sandwich is so filling and has so much protein. Insane that you get that much food for $5.99 ANYWHERE in Seattle these days and it tastes amazing. 10/10 recommend ! read more

I want refunds on both my meals. But the thing is. I give them 4 stars cause they serve so much sh*t quality food at once. I can't complain. Second time I've gone 6 months later. I ordered a poke bowl. The rice was negligible. This place either serves soggy mushy rice or dry chalky rice. Seems American. Bro. You run a sushi shop. Rice needs to be perfect. I would know I used to make rice at Sushi Land along with everything on the menu. Please use Botan Calrose rice and TRY YOUR RICE BEFORE YOU SERVE IT TO ME. FK YOUR FISH IS ALSO SOGGY. I went once so far to get two spicy salmon sandwich and two rolls but one get one free. The sandwich was tasty but requires being heated in a toaster oven at home, the sandwich is grilled but served cold. It's whatever. But the sushi I got had mushy gross rice that seemed to have been stuck to the bottom of the rice container. Not regular calrose rice but some other sticker variant. Almost like Rice paper rice. Very bad fed to my dog. The ingredients I could not waste. Very tasty! Will try again. read more

I absolutely love this place!! Best poke in Seattle by a mile! The owner is very sweet and you can really tell he puts so much effort and care into the restaurant. The sushi is amazing as well and the prices for everything are very reasonable especially considering he doesn't skimp you like most places. I come here at least once a week and I recommend it to anyone who will listen. The place is also very cute and a good chill environment, there is lots of options for board games like connect 4 if you want something to do! read more

I've never reviewed a bathroom but this bathroom was spotless, smelled really good , and had pictures of plants and seashells. It reminded me of a hotel style bathroom and the size was spacious. The interior felt very calming and it was quiet. The restaurant was also very clean and you can tell that the owner and staff take great pride in keeping it that way. The two staff today were super friendly and the staff with braids was soo nice. This is my favorite location and the poke is always fresh. read more

So I'm finally done with a long day dealing with teaching, talking and students code when I see a highly rated ramen join pass by so I can't abandon them. I order the classic tonkatsu ramen and it shows up in minutes from the guy behind the counter, super polite and encouraged me to play video games too. The whole place has this, "neighborhood poke shop" vibe that I just enjoy. While I'm not a fan of onion, bamboo shoots or the veggies in my ramen they were picked out soon enough. It's flavorful and you can tell something is unique about the serving which was flavorful but not as nearly strong as I like it from Kuzikai Ramen in seattle but late night small town beggars can't be choosers. 4.5 stars out of 5 and I would buy from here again. If I find you hipsters complaining this guy doesn't have the 31 flavors of kombucha you love just go elsewhere, preferably the moon. read more

Poke Fresh - *Spicy Salmon Roll 8pc/raw and *Seattle Roll 8pc/raw - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Poke fresh is an amazing neighborhood restaurant in Roosevelt!! I stumbled upon this place and it is a great hole in the wall spot for some quick sushi. Nearly everything on the menu is buy one get one free!! I couldn't believe it. The portions are generous and the sushi is good! The rice is a little mushy but honestly for the price, I'm not looking for much more! It is a great spot if I don't want to cook dinner and want a cheap meal. The owner is very kind as well. The poke is amazing too! They have pre marinated poke like Hawaii which is hard to come by. I will definetly be coming back to this place! read more

Poke Fresh - Medium Poke - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a hidden gem! Don't get thrown off by the name, they have more than just Poke. The eel roll and chicken roll are both cooked. The sushi rice in the rolls has the perfect amount of softness and stickiness, the eel tasted very fresh. I ordered them with eel sauce. The fish bone soup is also very tasty, salty, but if you water it down a bit, it's perfect! This place also has ramen! The owners of the restaurant are very welcoming and attentive. read more

As a college student, late nights are often a staple part of the academic experience. Given the limited selection of restaurant options after hours, Poke Fresh has stood out as a late night go-to. The value of the food here is unbeatable. Between the $8 donburi, $4 salmon collar, $10 sukiyaki and other affordable Japanese comforts, there are few other places that provide the same bang for buck; and, they absolutely do not skimp on portions for the price. It's not the best food you'll ever have, but it hits the spot every time. The atmosphere is modern yet cozy, and the employees are always kind and accommodating to match. Highly recommend this place for an affordable, reliable meal. read more

Great place that stays open late! Too many Poke places seem to close earlier than other types of restaurants. Poke Fresh is open until 1:30 AM, which is awesome! My son and I went to Poke Fresh after a Yelp search and found this place to be quite good. Parking sucks but it's like that everywhere in the U District. I did however notice the Link Light Rail Roosevelt Station is just up the street so that is a great option to avoid the parking hassle. We each got the medium sized make your own bowl which comes with 2 proteins as well as a bevy of choices for other toppings, etc. I love the variety of choices and selected the Ahi and Spicy Salmon. They allow half and half of bases like several rice varieties or greens so I got half salad greens and half brown rice. The service was great with a very nice and accommodating server. Kinda weird they played Hispanic music over the speakers for the entire restaurant but maybe the employees get their choice when working. No biggie. I'll return here one day and will likely take the light rail for convenience. read more

If I could give zero stars, I will give zero stars. I went there with a friend last night and we went there a couple of years ago.... before and the food before was really fresh full of flavor robust but last night the food tasted like it came off of some warm dish water. The flavor was flaccid and disappointing. Do BETTER. read more

I love this place! I go often because they have great BOGO deals, and the guy who works there is always so nice! The sushi is good. The inside is casual. Overall, a great place to grab some food on the way home, or stay to eat and play some of the games they have set out. Love it! read more

Really cool set up and good value for food. Cheap and expensive options give variety.

I come here for poke once a month or so, it is conveniently located and not in the heart of U District, which I pretty much avoid. The servers are always really friendly when I come in, they take my order promptly and aren't skimpy on the portions. The food always tastes and feels fresh. I like the options of toppings and mix-ins, as well as the sauces and fish options. You really can make it whatever you want! I always go heavy on the salmon, and theirs is pretty dang good! It's not the most attractive place to sit in to eat, it's very basic, but the people watching sitting at the windows is unbeatable. read more

Poke Fresh - Raw +salad half (now) and cooked +rice half (later) = a few meals out of one Small Poke - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Both the food and the service were kind of mid, not super impressed with this place. The food is pretty affordable actually (around $10 for a lot of dishes like noodle and rice bowls), but there's not a ton of substance either. For food, I ordered the spicy Ahi roll ($7) and BBQ chashu pork udon ($10). The sushi was decent but the udon had a mushy texture and the soup was just a simple soy sauce base. The service was insanely slow, as in I probably waited a good 20 mins just to order with two people ahead of me in line. I think it's kind of understandable because they seemed short-staffed and they make most of their items to order, but you would think that a poke place would have a little more hustle because the food that they make to order is just.. putting ready-to-eat ingredients together in a bowl. With the long wait and how average the food was, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. They do have some cheap drinks and are open until 2:30am though, so maybe it's a good late night spot, but I haven't tried it for myself. read more

Went to get a little dessert, and got the mini eclairs, they were the perfect size to satisfy my craving, I also tried their spam masubi and it was my first time trying it, the spam was cooked in a slightly sweet seasoning that balanced the saltiness of the spam, the dish was simple but very tasty, overall very pleased, ordering was easy, very introvert friendly because I ordered on a tablet near the entrance and then had my food ready a few minutes later. read more

I love this place!!! Where has it been all my life. Prices are awesome ! We wish there was a place like this close to us. A great location between. Bus and tram lines to grab a bite or a whole meal. The vibes are so great with a selection of board games too. Gotta come check this place out. read more

For the price they offer, the quantity and quality was worth it. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful and met my poke needs. I got the small size and it was perfect!

Poke Fresh - Deliciousness - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Reading the other reviews, I'm thinking I probably got a fresh employee. Despite the negative feedback, I noted that the apparent manager was attentive and helpful to the server that helped me. They were both very kind despite me coming in so late (around 11:45; 45 min before closing) - I was very happy to be able to visit a place in our neighborhood open at this time of night - and my food was perfectly delicious. They were accommodating when I changed my order from a small to a medium, explained to me what each add-on was (as I don't know some japanese food terms), and were very kind throughout the entire experience. I hope that whoever I checked out with has more frequent hours, as they were more than kind and accommodating to my dietary needs. Kudos to them and the manager for providing the confidence and general training to create such a great dinner for me on a late night! read more

Poke was good, nothing that blew my mind away but the salmon was good quality and they had the classic toppings. They were also open late, we went around 10:30pm. However, and this is a big however, it was $20 for a small and $30 for a large poke bowl!!! WHAT?! This is the most expensive poke I've had in my life. Definitely not worth the price. Only go here if you are out of other options. read more

I live close by and come here often. Food is good, service is always great. I have never sat down to eat, but it seems more like a to go place to me. I guess it's not a settle in and have a long slow meal because it's so cozy. That said, doesn't look uncomfortable at all. Just plain old tables and chairs, no frills I have had Poke at other places and this place definitely knows what they are doing. Everything is fresh and they are pretty generous with portions. Go ahead have a meal here, I think you will be pretty happy with this place read more

Poke Fresh - Fried Tofu Ginger Bowl. Ooops, I ate about half before taking pic. This is a small. Portions are generous! Love spam sushi. Yummy - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sadly have to confirm the tiny portions of protein in the poke bowl mentioned in previous reviews. Service was just okay, didn't really get any greeting or acknowledgement from the two workers when I walked in so I was initially a little confused who would take my order. Maybe they were tired. This place closes pretty late. read more

Ordered the California roll and Teri Mayo chicken roll off of Uber eats. By far, worst sushi I've ever had. They were for sure not fresh. Even the rice was hard. Safeway has better sushi. The Teri Mayo roll didn't even stay together. Sad that I wasted my money here, I hope you do not! read more

One of my favorite spots. The food here is great and the ambiance is very cozy, they have board games and now even a retro gaming console. The servers are great people and always welcoming. I recommend the poké bowl and the chicken teriyaki japanese curry read more

This place is nearby so we wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately we couldn't even eat the food. We NEVER waste food but this went into compost after a few bites. The biggest problem was that the fish was not fresh and was off-putting in taste. Tried hard to eat it so we don't waste food but at the end of the day, it's not worth the risk of potentially getting sick. Not sure if we got a bad batch, but overall really unfortunate experience. Other comments: The fish was also not fillet well and the salmon had a ton of grey on it. The masago that was mixed into the salad was still frozen. Portion size was decent. read more

You wouldn't know it from the outside, but this poke joint is a gem! The ingredients are fresh, the prices are decent, and the owner is a pleasure. Every time we grab poke from this place, we're glad we did. read more

Avoid!! Very expensive, poke is not mixed on bowl. Horrible experience. It was 30$ for a bowl of rice. The little fish we did have was not very good and the garlic shrimp appears and tastes as though it is canned mini shrimp. This quality to price is unacceptable. read more

Such a great place! Husband and I are visiting in the area and we stumbled on this place. I had the tuna fever bowl and he had the spicy Supreme. Both were good size and very filling. Be sure to add a boba tea- we both had a fruit tea, which had chucks of fruit and plenty of boba. I'm really sad they aren't closer to me, I would be here frequently read more

Poke Fresh - Large. So good. - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

$20 for a small poke bowl and $25 for a medium?? Robber barons. It's good and fresh but not $25 good. This is definitely the most I've ever paid for poke. The sauces are excellent and the fish is fresh, and the owner gives a good portion of the sides, but I'd still rather pay $15 elsewhere. read more

This used to be my favorite poke place around town, and we would happily make the 18-20 minute trip for the tasty food and friendly experience. No longer. We came today, and the first thing we saw was that the prices have nearly doubled since our last visit a few months ago. Yes, prices everywhere have been going up, but $30 is pretty shocking for a poke bowl that, at best, is large 'ish'. But we were looking forward to it, so we gave it a try. The ordering experience was, frankly, upsetting. Instead of the friendly and helpful workers who've staffed the place in the past, the person working the counter today seemed impatient and withdrawn (for context, we were the only people there and we weren't complaining or anything like that). On top of the huge upfront price, everything is rationed, with big upcharges for extras. Large bowl? 3 toppings. Want a fourth? Add $3.99. That's a lot of cash for some chopped cucumber, so the end product has a lot less of the joyful variety that makes poke so fun. It's the same story with sauces and the sprinkled bits at the end (2-4, depending on bowl size). To top it off, when you get to the end, there are signs up offering you significant discounts for leaving a (presumably positive) review on a few sites. While I guess that's a way to counteract the cost, it feels pretty icky. In the end, the bowl was still tasty (which got them to 2 stars), but with fewer toppings, less good than it once was. The cost was unreasonable, and the experience unpleasant and upsetting. I think this was our last visit. read more

Poke Fresh is my goto for both poke and bingsoo. The Poke has a generous portion size for the price and a good selection of toppings, including avocado for no additional fee. It's not necessarily the most authentic poke, since the fish is not marinated beforehand. It is more of a Chipotle style of poke, but it is delicious nonetheless. The matcha and red bean bingsoo is great. Out of the flavors I tried here, this one is my favorite. The ice is finely shaved and there is a good amount of matcha. Be careful getting it to-go since it melts very quickly if you don't eat it immediately. read more

Poke Fresh - Matcha Bingsoo - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OH MAMA Thank goodness for Poke Fresh and them offering takeout bingsoo during the covid. With milkie milkie being closed, I didn't know where I could get my craving on. My first time in, and boy I will be back soon. The portions are very generous. Impressed with the small bingsoo, I shared it with my partner. Generous helpings of red bean too! We both got a medium poke bowl (2 proteins) and it exceeded expectations. The spicy tuna and the salmon were properly marinated. Salmon was perfect size melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Soo good. They also have masago AND edamame AND spicy cod roe as free toppings. I don't know anywhere else in Seattle that does this, and I am 100% here for it. The portions for the medium are also very generous. I'm a fairly big eater and I was full with a little less than half left. I did have half the bingsoo before, but I'm still pretty impressed with the portions. Generous fish, enough to curate the perfect bite every time. In fact, every bite of the bingsoo and the poke had the right portions of everything. Very impressed. And generous toppings. The crispy onion adds the delicious crunch, and their house sauce is fantastic. I got my bowl with half salad half rice, and the sauce went so well with both. Overall very impressed. The only thing I'm a tiny bit bummed about is that it looks like they forgot the avocado I ordered (it's not extra! Whaaaat!?), but the rest of the meal exceeded my expectations, so I'm still extremely happy. Will be back soon! read more

Poke Fresh - Red bean Bingsoo and Medium poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I used to love the place but I cannot understand why they have increased the price to almost $20 for small (like 25% increase, which is higher than the current inflation rate). To make matters worse, now they limit the number of the toppings (previously unlimited). The previous price was already kinda expensive for a poke but still I loved the place as they allow us to put as many toppings as we wanted and the poke was filling. Also now they don't mix the poke as they used to do. The selection of the sauces is meh (some of my favorites have gone) and the topping selection is to be honest weird for me -- they removed some of nice (and authentic Japanese or Asian) toppings and added weird toppings like pineapples. It's sad that I've lost my favorite poke place but I don't think I will go back -- I'm not happy to pay $25 for okay level poke. read more

This use to be my favorite poke place and I would grab lunch here a few times per month. I went this week and it now costs $20 for a small, $25 for a medium and $30 for a large?!? This is a huge price increase from a few months ago. This is insane for a lunch option, as it was already a pushing the expensive side for lunch before these increases. Not only did the price increase, the quality seems to have been degraded significantly. You use to be able to mix your poke / sauces / etc.. in a bowl before putting it in the bowl. Now they just have poke (some premixed in sauce it looked like) with a few sauces on the side they will put on top. Options of toppings seemed to also be reduced. Unfortunately I think I will have to take this poke option out of my lunch rotation unless it reverts back. read more

Such a cute little place!! I came here with a friend for dessert and the small bingsoo was more than enough for the both of us! They also allow you to mix two flavors in one bowl so I recommend getting two flavors if you can't choose between them... we chose cereal and Oreo and they complimented each other very well. Staff was extremely nice and helpful and made us feel super welcomed :) I'll definitely be back for poke and more bingsoo next time! read more

I have come here multiple times since moving to the Greenlake area. This was my first time back since COVID hit and I was as impressed as ever. I have traveled a lot and had poke/sashimi in Hawaii and Japan. Their ingredients are always fresh and high quality. The staff were very friendly and polite. The restaurant itself was VERY clean, organized, and tidy. If you've been looking for a good neighborhood poke place, I highly recommend coming here. You won't regret it! read more
