    Large Poke Bowl. I probably ate like 3 bites of poke already in this pic. Oops
    Lauren S.

    Got a large and it was almost $18. The size was so underwhelming I was cringing swiping my card. There was nothing really special about this place. I've been to many poke places like this and they all pretty much taste the same to me except this one was way more expensive in my opinion. Meh is all I have to say. A poke bowl here is pretty expensive for what you get and the poke is just okay. It will satisfy your poke craving if you really really need a fix.

    Large Poke

    On this Saturday I was feeling adventurous, and felt like trying something new. This was when the following exchange happened between my Dad and I: My Dad asked, "Why not some poke?" I replied, "Uh what, like Pokémon?" After recovering from laughter he smiled and showed me the menu from Yelp and I'll be honest I was curious so I dug in. Seeing all of the various dishes, combinations, and perspectives had me interested in what was so special about this place. As luck would have it I took a throw of the dice and tried it, where I was not expecting an explosion of flavor as I had experienced; going from eating fish and chips I would have never dreamed of eating fish raw, which to my surprise was quite good. The first bite I was a bit skeptical, as the texture was a bit out of the norm, though a few bites later my skepticism turned into enjoyment. My Dad and I had the large bowls (mine had OG salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, and shrimp). The spiciness of the tuna gave a nice lingering flavor, paired well with the sweetness of the pineapple and the rice. For the first time having Poké, I will admit you turned a skeptic into a believer, now I want to taste other combinations! Great location and service, if you want to try some Poké or are a fanatic, I highly recommend this location!

    Medium, skimp on sauce and rice

    Overall the space is cute but for the price I've had better poke. I ordered a medium and it really wasn't worth it. The cucumber I added had a bad after taste. Maybe it's just the flavors or sauce I chose but i didn't really like it.

    Wowza! The new happy hour is 10% off + free miso soup from 2:30pm to close. + ample parking + friendly staff + fresh fish and lots of toppings Not unique but good a solid poke joint.

    More sauce choices than any other place!

    This may be my new favorite poke place. First of all when you walk in it's spotless. It's perfectly easy to understand where and what to order. The staff was really nice and great recommending different sauces (I like it really spicy). Fish taste deliciously fresh and I love the combination that they made with OG tuna and the OG salmon. They have more sauce choices than any other poke place that I have been to. They also carry a unique fountain cola called Stubborn Soda but have bottles of Pepsi if you prefer that. I will definitely be back. I'm really impressed and although my mouth is on fire (as requested!) I am so happy.

    Small size portion of albacore and octopus. Lots of veggies!!!

    If you wish to have health meal for once, poke is the way to go. I don't know about over-consuming raw fish, but once-in-a-while indulgence is understandable. You would get into a line, looking at the options through the glass, and picking and choosing your own poke meal. I always order a small plate because I swear it always fills me up. Albacore and octopus are my favorites protein so far. I am not a big fan of spicy food, so spicy tuna isn't my first choice. Sashimi added to the protein is a plus. Brown rice, please. Every type of vegetable EXCEPT for adamane and jalapeño will go on my plate. I would choose ginger, cucumber salad, and seaweed salad. However, the seaweed salad at this location is always OUT every time I am there. Whenever I don't go there, my coworkers always let me know seaweed salad is actually available. Perhaps, it's not meant to be! Haha! Finally, I'll just ask for a bit of dried and crunchy onions to top off my poke meal. Overall, I find this poke place easy to order with the step-by-step menu to let you know which items would go on with which items. It's definitely expensive, but you know you're paying for raw fish. It's definitely worth the craving at times.

    My go-to spot for poke in the Renton/Kent area! My random 2 cents: Parking lot is small, but finding a spot has never been an issue. The selection of toppings isn't as expansive as some other places I've been, but all of the ingredients are very fresh and the prices are great. The stamp card is also a great perk if you're in the area and love poke like me! Weekday happy hour is also an awesome bonus that'll give you more bang for your buck. There are also tons of sauce options/combos but I wish there was a happy medium if you want something creamy and not too spicy. (Spicy mayo is their only creamy sauce option, and it's kind of really spicy if you don't have a high tolerance for spiciness.)

    Regular, salmon+spicy tuna with house dressing &a spicy mayo and all the veggies!

    From service to the value of their food, I'd say if deserves a good rating! There's a few spots to park in front of this restaurant that is situated at the corner end of a plaza in Kent (or was I in Renton? Lol). Well, there's also a couple of tables and chairs outside for patrons to sit on a hot summer day. When my friends and I arrived inside, we took a minute to decide and make out what all was being offered at this poke bar! There was a couple of kind employees that helped us out and suggested what was most popular (very very helpful in explaining things thoroughly). I ordered the regular size (one scoop of protein) and did half tuna/half salmon on a bed of spring mixed salad. Other options includes brown or white rice as well. Next you get to choose your toppings and sauces. You are able to get all of the available toppings (seaweed, red onions, peppers, beans, crab salad etc) or select a few. The sauces- you can mix like I did. I chose the house sauce with a bit of spicy mayo. It was dynamite! And then the little crunchy bits come last as you're paying (crunch garlic pieces). My bowl filled me up and I couldn't barely get the last bite in! The value of what you get for $10 is amazing! My food was fresh, zesty, a little bit spicy but overall, felt healthy?? Is that possible?? They also have a fridge of beverages to the right near the cash wrap where you can get something other than water to wash down your delicious meal! It didn't leave me smelling fishy nor left me extremely heavy. I would recommend what I got but the list is endless for combinations you'd prefer! It's too bad they're situated in an industrial spot and hard for me coming from seattle, to get to!

    Seriously this is my favorite new fast food spot. Sooooooooo good! I kept it simple and LOVED it. My husband got creative and didn't like his, but is willing to try again. I got Tuna/Salmon/Albacore as my proteins. The fish was fresh and firm not mushy and not warm. The girls working were so awesome. They were patient and helpful which is nice if you've never been to a place like this. It's like the "Subway" of Poke. You have MANY options to choose from. I'm glad The Poke Bar came to Kent. Now I don't have to be jealous when my sister in CA posts snap pics. I say if you try it and don't like it, come back and try something else. I know my husband will.

    One large bowl... not the best picture but just for visual representation

    I don't know about this one. Poké is clearly one of Seattle's biggest food trends as of late, but that doesn't mean every spot is good. Like this one. I'd say Poké Bar in Kent is on the low end of the taste spectrum. There's nothing special about it. The fish is slathered up in a ton of sauce and several additions are mixed in- most likely to detract from the actual quality and plainness of the fish. I found it to be rather mushy- it lacks that smooth, firm, buttery texture and appeal that you'd get at a place that does it right. The order set-up is like most other poke spots. Pick your base, pick your protein, add whatever toppings, you know the deal. The service is friendly and they are happy to offer you samples to help you decide. The location sucks. Find it roadside next to a Bigfoot Java and Jimmy John's in an obscure part of Kent. Overall, I'd say this poké is of the fast-food grade (not much better or worse than Pokéworks, if you get my meaning)- think like the Chipotle or Subway of poké. I cannot endorse this place, unless you're on the brink of starvation and this place is right around the corner.

    Great pricing. Nice workers. Super delicious menu and items, love the way the bowls are prepared, and the selection is awesome

    Ericka Z.

    Super good! I love poke so I knew I had to try this place. They have a very nice interior and the workers are friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety to choose from, and even the Small bowl got me full. I got a Medium one time and shared it with a friend. Definitely loved it! Also, apparently I came during happy hour (2:30 pm) and got a free soda. Probably just a weekday thing and I don't really drink soda, but it was nice. Woohoo!

    Misha W.

    Well I initially had a great review until about 20 minutes after eating this I was sick to my stomach At WORK!!! (FML) I'm assuming it had something to do with one of the proteins not being good, can't imagine what else would cause A reaction so fast! That really sucks because I wanted to love this, but I'm damaged from this experience :(

    Small -- brown rice as base, tuna & salmon for proteins, all veggies, cucmber salad & crab for sides, gluten-free soy sauce & furakake

    Yummy Kitchen is an easy spot to recommend. I had the spicy pork which had great spice and flavor…read more My son had the Korean fried chicken and he said that the wings were very delicious. The cost of the food was more than fair for what we received. Also, the customer service was great. The gentleman assisting us was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back for more.

    My daughter and I were staying in the neighborhood hotel and decided to give the place a try…read moreespecially it's highly rated on yelp. My daughter ordered their Chicken Katsu plate and mine was the Kalua Pig plate. My daughter enjoyed the katsu and it was such generous portion. However I didn't enjoy my kalua pork. It had an amazing smokey aroma but the taste was nothing but just salt. The side dishes were very tasty however. At first, I was trying my best to eat it with rice but the salt in the end really got to me. Especially I have high BP, so I decided to let the lady behind the counter know. It was very nice of her to remake it but it was still very salty. By then, I didn't want to eat it anymore. She offered to remake it for the third time as the chef was feeling bad about it. I told her, it's OK. My mouth only tasted salt and I had chucked down so much water including the free drinks she offered. I was already full. My daughter tasted it and said it was OK and told me she would eat my kalua pork and I could have her leftover half of chicken katsu. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It will be our dinner if we can't find a restaurant open.

    Sushi burrito place located in the food court of Southcenter mall. They have build your own option…read moreas well as premade sushi burritos. I opted to try one of the premade ones (forgot the name), and it was pretty yummy. However the amount of food you get in your burrito seems highly dependent on which staff makes it - my friend's burrito was a lot bigger than mine. Burritos were also pretty pricey, around $18-20. Not somewhere I'd frequent a lot because of the price, but worth checking out.

    Sushi Burrito is a fusion concept restaurant offering customizable oversized sushi-inspired rolls…read moreand poke bowls! One of their popular selections was the Sumo Crunch, made with a wrap of nori and a layer of rice, containing a filling of crunchy shrimp tempura, surimi crab, cucumber, avocado, and crispy onions, and the entire burrito was rolled in pink-colored tempura flakes for even more crunch. The combination of the creamy and crunchy ingredients came together nicely, and the spicy, unctuous sriracha mayo added delicious flavor and brought everything together. We also got a Poke Salad, which came with a base of greens and a selection of unlimited toppings including carrots, cabbage, onions, corn, edamame, cucumbers, radishes, seaweed salad, avocado, and crispy onions, all of which could also be added to the sushi burrito! Overall, this was a great mall food court option for a creative and tasty bite.
