Super-fast, fresh, and tasty poke made for a solid pit-stop on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30. The regular bowl supplied a decent portion, and I was hungry. 12 dollars and 6 cents was the price with tax for a scoop of spicy tuna, and one of albacore, atop a bed of greens, with seaweed salad and Krab salad on the side. Mild house dressing was plenty spicy for me. You bet I'll go back here! read more

I'm vegan and my husband is on the Keto kick. This was a perfect place for the two of us to find a quick lunch at. I feel as though I waste, as the portion sizes are quite large! On the other side of the spectrum, my husband thinks it's just right. Suggestion: Wish there was a vegan fish option Bonus: Complimentary tea was pleasant after the brisk walk! read more

Fresh and delicious. Friendly service and huge portions. I got the large and could barely finish half!

Love their quality poke (I got salmon), you can see that they mix it correctly in a separate bowl. They have a large selection of both seafood and toppings to choose from, and the best part is there's no limit to the number of toppings you can get! Portions are generous and great prices too. I live really close by so will definitely be back regularly! read more

I was enduring a hard sashimi craving and battling self-isolation laziness, so Uber eats brought me a poke bowl from Poke Square. Overall I really enjoyed the bowl. They had all the typical poke bowl fix-ins. I typically enjoy mine with some but not tons of toppings. It came with a decent amount of fish. I got the salmon and octopus. Yumm! The price was also reasonable. I'd come here again. read more

Best poke in town. Huge portions, good price, lots of toppings. The perfect dinner for a sunset picnic at Golden Gardens! read more

Poke Square - Large Bowl - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pleasantly surprised by this spot! We were craving poke (as always) and were able to walk in, place an order for 6 bowls, and walk out within less than 15 mins. Social distancing guidelines are clear, there are a couple sit in tables if you care to brave, and the staff is real friendly and accommodating. The fish is cut in decent bite-sized cutes and portions are generous, and there is a variety of other toppings you can add to your bowl. The only seafood option that was a bit questionable was the scallops but I didn't personally choose that for my bowl. The spicy tuna had a kick and that was all I needed! read more

I have ordered a build your own regular bowl a few times now and it's always so much food! So worth the price. They don't skimp on the toppings either. The workers are always very friendly too! read more

Poke Square - a person holding a bowl of food - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ok - I'm going to admit it, I was a little slow to hop on board the Poke train. Living in California, my area lives and breathes poke. Ever the skeptic, I was not convinced that a pile of raw fish, vegetables, and rice was going to taste good. This was until a friend found Poke Square and we blindly Ubered over to the restaurant not knowing what to expect. The place itself is quite small, with just a few tables. However, it was not busy when we went so we had not trouble finding a place to sit. The menu itself was laid out easily for a newbie like me to understand. The workers were especially helpful in explaining what would last good together, etc. My finished product was a bowl with brown rice, shrimp, crab, onions, corn, and more vegetables. I also got the mild house sauce. Overall, it was a great introduction to a poke bowl and was absolutely delicious! I will be back for more! read more

I ordered off of DoorDash, but my portions seem small. It barely fills the container. I got the large custom bowl. It's almost as if there is two bites of salmon instead of a scoop. Very disappointed. I feel like I'm eating mostly rice. I won't be ordering from here again read more

Went here for lunch today since it's just down the street from work. The way you order is different than other poke places I've been too and protein portion is A LOT smaller compare to other places. You pick your seafood, cucumber or white onion and sauce for the poke and they have additional toppings. Poke is decent but not for the amount and price I pay. I also think the music was too loud or the glass divider is too high but I had to repeat myself a couple times for the staff to hear my order and that was a bit annoying. The staff was very nice though. It was a good first time but I'll probably stick to my regular spot for future poke cravings as poke spots are popping up everywhere in seattle. It makes it fairly easy to have a favorite. read more

Poke Square - Salmon and albacore with spicy house sauce on brown rice with all toppings. - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yum! So excited to have a Poke place in Ballard. It was my first time getting Poke, so I have nothing to compare it too. But it was delicious! I got the regular size with half brown rice/ half spring mix. Great options for toppings and add on's and the sauces were tasty! Just the right amount of spice for me in the sriracha aioli. Only slight complaint would be to get a little more fish for the price. Overall I was satisfied and will be back! read more

Another 5 stars based on food and customer service experience. First, the food. I get the same order each time: large white rice, 3 meats (salmon, shrimp and tuna), white onion, corn and avocado with the house medium sauce. The consistency is always there. It's very very good. You can blend sauces (I don't but a good option) and yes, it's a $1 more Avocado and I'm fine with that. Customer service is always good and I have been here a few times. If you're new, they will walk you through h the ordering process and even make suggestions (not in the condescending way). For the more experience Poke eater, they are quick and efficient with your order. It's a great blend of service. I definitely think you should stop by. I usually go around 1:30-2 pm and I always seem to miss the lunch rush so no long lines for me. read more

This is my favorite Poke Place. Food amazing, staff so friendly, atmosphere makes you enjoy your meal. I would definitely come back and show it to more friends! read more

We've come here a couple times now and the staff are great under the pressure of the line hitting the door by focusing solely on the person placing the order to ensure accuracy. Food is delicious when you want that poke fix. Very filling and reasonably priced! read more

At first, we really liked this place. The poke was good and the portion sizes were spot on. However, the past few times we've ordered from them, the portions of protein are ridiculously small. I usually get the regular bowl and my husband gets the large. No issues with his large bowl, the portions are a good size. But somehow, mine always come with a fraction of what it used to be. I finished all of the protein with more than half the rice portion leftover. It was insane! I've never seen this at other poke places, its always a 50/50 ratio. I used to barely be able to finish a regular bowl, now I can eat one barely fill full. This has happened multiple times now, so we now choose other poke places nearby but it is disappointing to have a reliable place change things up. read more

I don't usually like poke but this was was pretty good. The fish was very fresh and i enjoyed the taste of their house sauce and all the other condiments they had. I enjoyed the fact that you can have half salad and half brown rice base. It was a delicious lunch with my sister! read more

Just got this ridiculous bowl delivered. I don't complain about food ever, even if it's the wrong toppings I don't really care but this is a joke. I ordered this bowl for delivery so not only is it almost uneatable but it also cost me like $19. I asked for a little extra siracha aoli which i order every time I go there I never order anything different, they felt 2 inches deep worth of siracha soup was necessary for my bowl and like one tablespoon of avocado which was almost brown and like no rice. Super annoying. This place honestly isn't that great to begin with but this is just unnecessary. Disappointing guys read more

Not a bad place for poke, but definitely nothing amazing. Fish seems fresh enough, and staff seems efficient. You get your food quickly. Only issue with this place is whomever delivers the food when ordered online is rude, doesn't notify you when your food arrives, and leaves it outside for who knows how long. Honestly, makes me consider finding a new place for poke. read more

Pike square was right around the corner where we stayed in The Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. It's nestled on a fun street with lots of places to eat, so the fact that we picked here should say something. The service was great. It's setup where you can pick your protein and veggies and sauces. Everything was fresh. My husband's seafood options looked delicious, while I rocked the tofu- which was delish ! The sauces were perfect. The restaurant itself was small, but clean and nice. We sat at the counter and people watched. Seeing as tofu was my only non seafood option, that felt a little limited, but I'd still go back. If you're in the neighborhood- check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Decent poke place, the quality of the fish is not bad. Good place for a fast meal fix. There's a good number of protein, topping, and sauce options. Slight downside is they give a little less poke than some other places. read more

Been to many poke restaurants in California as I am a connoisseur. I was visiting town for the weekend and have been hearing great things about Poke Square for many years. I knew it was a destination I had to try before going back home. When I first came inside, what stood out to me most was the good energy. Line moved fast and the front greets you with a smile as you walk in. The menu had a range of options and I like how they make it so simple to create your bowl. Food was amazing! Probably the best poke I've ever had because of how fresh the fish was. That stood out to me most. If you are in a local or in town, I highly recommend Poke Square. You won't be disappointed! read more

Like the Poke is very fresh. The Albacore is refreshing as like something different. Not that many Poke restaurants have that or have it fresh. The options are a bit more limited then at other Poke restaurants. And like the Spicy Tuna could use a bit more kick spice to it. Location is small yet they totally take care of it and make you feel at home. Employees are nice and service is good. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Pretty solid poke! I've ordered online several times, and they have always been incredibly timely. A wide variety of toppings and fish is always a plus. It is on the expensive side, but this is to be expected. read more

Love this place. Been there a few time now, and 5 stars every time. I know people say that their options are limited, but I've been to other Poke places where they have an abundance of ingredients and it's questionable how fresh they are. Here, everything is fresh, high quality and portions are huge. Especially, I'm trying the Whole30, and they have been very accommodating to my dietary needs. All the utensils and containers are compostable too. My one suggestion is to stay open late on Fridays and Saturdays, as this is Ballard. read more

I really wanted to like this place-good location, clean, bright but farmed salmon is horrible for me and the environment. We live in Seattle, where Fresh wild salmon is abundant. Why serve farmed salmon when salmon is one of your main menu items? read more

This is a regular lunch stop for me. The fish is fresh and the selection is good: salmon, tuna, shrimp, spicy tuna, albacore, and scallops. For $10.95 you get two protein choices on a base of white or brown rice or green salad mix. There are a variety of sauces to choose from as well as toppings. A big plus for me is that the staff here are always very friendly. Our interactions bring a smile to my face. The portions are plenty big enough to satisfy. The location has lots of natural light and makes it pleasant to sit and eat there if you'd like. read more

Order a large bowl to share with my roommate on doordash, delivery was only $1.99 and the drive was very nice. Ingredients are amazing and fresh. Would order again! read more

Poke Square - Large salmon and tuna, must get cucumber and masago! Kinda disappointed they didn't have mango... - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Got 2 scoops, 1 salmon, 1 tuna. Salmon was good but the tuna was grey and tasted super fishy and gross(not what you expect from sashimi grade tuna). It was hard to get past that, everything in the bowl tasted like that as a result and I just had to throw it away. They also have a very limited selection of toppings, no pineapple or mango :( Save your money and go to Poker Lover down the street. Better value , toppings and flavor. read more

Easily the best poke in town. The last time I went they were BLASTING dubstep, which was AWESOME as I was still experiencing the lingering "afterglow" of some particularly fine MDMA. As I shoveled a Large Bowl with Salmon And Double Tuna into my slippery vacuum of a mouth, the pounding beat and harsh, grinding synths of Riot Ten and Sullivan King's "Pit Boss (Badklaat Remix)" turned the entire culinary experience into a euphoric fever dream--I gnashed the cold, wet fish cubes between my teeth to the beat and slurped up the limber, perfectly seasoned seaweed as chainsaw-like snarls of electronic static dismantled my perception of reality, and by the time it was all over I was destroyed in the best way possible--mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The Sriracha Aioli pairs incredibly well with the Sesame Dressing on the salad, by the way. Five stars! read more

Portions feel slightly smaller than those at other poke places around Seattle, but the flavors are on point! Fish tasted fresh and I like the veggies they put on the side. All in all, a solid bowl of poke! Also cool that they use all compostable packaging and utensils. read more

I give Poke Square three stars for okay poke/flavors and value. I live a block away and although I'm happy about a poke shop in Ballard, I do find myself going out of my way a little to get poke elsewhere when I want some. The reason is because it's been really hit and miss in how the staff put together my bowls. There are times when I don't get enough sauce/flavor and times where there's too much (as in I have broth at the bottom of my bowl). Not good. Perhaps some training is needed to put together consistent bowls? I think it might have finally gotten better. I came in last weekend since my other go-to spot on the way home was closed. I was finally happy and satisfied with my bowl that I was compelled to finally write a review. The poke here is average, price is a good value, the shop is clean and the staff are friendly. read more

I was looking for a place to grab a healthy lunch while in Ballard and came upon Poke Square on yelp. The entire staff seemed super enthusiastic and friendly, the food was fresh, tasty, reasonably priced, and they had a great selection. They were running a promo for a large at the price of a regular sized bowl, plus a free drink, so their incentives were on point. The place was small, probably seating no more than 15 people, but very quaint, clean, and big enough to accommodate my giant stroller and my baby sleeping in it. Having a stroller makes it difficult to check out new restaurants sometimes, but I had no problems here and my baby slept through the entire meal, which hasn't happened in awhile, so I'm super thankful. Lastly, THEY HAD A CHANGING TABLE IN THEIR BATHROOM. I've run into too many spots in Seattle that either don't allow minors in general (super annoying) or don't have accommodations for children like high chairs and changing tables. Well done, Poke Square! If I'm ever back in Ballard and hungry, I'll def be swinging by. Thanks, fellas! read more

Finally, Ballard has a Pokestop! Poke Square is on the SW corner of Market and 17th Ave with you-can't-miss-it large signage. It's a choose-your-own protein & toppings place where ingredients are fresh, in a modern space with plenty of seating, and with easy-going staff. $10.95 gets you 2 proteins, while $12.95=3. I recommend experimenting with the 6 sauces, including 3 spice levels of the house poke sauce, and mixing up the bases, i.e.- 50/50 rice & spring salad. All their topping on point but I'd skip the seaweed salad. I was full on the regular portion so get the Large if you're hangry. Tip: a Yelp Check-In also buys you a free fountain drink, and free 2-hr parking along 17th. read more

Poke Square - Options galore @PokeSquare (Ballard) - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

With all the poke places springing up across town, this place is nothing to write home about. They lack in flavor, original menu creations, and portions. I ordered the regular size bowl which includes two proteins, and the guy dumps in 4 small pieces of salmon and maybe 5 of the tuna. Disappointing. I had to ask for double scoops of the seaweed and crab salad just to make them noteworthy. For $12.06 with tax and before tip, I expected the staff to atleast be pleasant, but I didn't even get that. I'll give them another chance before passing a final judgement, but I don't plan on frequenting this place when there are far superior options in town. read more

Ok, Ballard needs more places like poke square - fast, casual, healthy and reasonably priced. Honestly, some of these reviews are ridiculous... Not enough sauce/dressing/wasabi? Ask for more and you shall receive."There's better poke places elsewhere in Seattle."... Ok, then you go wait in traffic on your way to Wallingford and back, buddy. No one got time for that. As for the quality of the poke relative to other poke places - can't speak to that because this is the only poke place I've ever tried. But, it's good enough for me to go once or twice a week for lunch. read more

My go to Poke bowl! I order the same bowl every time, 2 protein- the salmon and tuna and it always tastes amazing! Quality, fresh ingredients all across the board. The drinks they serve there too are also very good. Consistently great! Highly recommend! read more

GREAT spot for Poke! I live in Ballard and am so excited not to have to drive to Wallingford anymore to get my poke fix. This place is clean, fast, and I love how they let you build your own bowl assembly-line style. Choose your rice, choose your fish, then choose your toppings. They have all the necessities like crab salad, seaweed, cucumber, nori, and furikake with some fun stuff like fried onions. The owners came out and were really friendly. Local Ballard residents with family in Hawaii that helped develop the menu. Excited to have such a great local business to support! read more

Impromptu trip to Ballard and I needed a bite to eat. Figured I would give this Poke place a try. I was impressed. The two protein meal was plenty for me (I am 220lbs) and I usually eat quite a bit. So I was happy with the dish. It was fresh and prepared nicely. Took a chance by ordering online and arrived early, and it was READY! PLUS+!! So, there's my experience... I say give em a try! read more

I like spice, but everything was so unbearably spicy we couldn't even eat it. Even my lips were burning. Waste of money.
