Excellent proper poke. A gem in an already awesome town. Despite them being always slammed for lunch the staff is always so kind and efficient. Fish is SO fresh and clean. Toppings like the homemade kimchi and miso cucumbers are real stars too. A little pricey but well worth it for the quality and TLC there. I went three times in four weeks! read more

Some alright poke. The good part is the fresh tuna. Not much else unfortunately. The crab salad was dry. Seaweed salad was satisfactory at best. But seriously.. the portions??? $17 for a handful and a half of food?? (the mini bowl). I know everything is more expensive lately but this is absurd. The employees all seem super nice! :) read more

Picked up two large bowls to go. The hamachi was my favorite (tuna was great too). Everything was super high quality and fresh made. The large bowl was enough food for me for two meals. Great hole in the wall spot, wish it was closer so I could come here regularly! read more

Food. Mochi Butter Bar and Musubi were 5 stars all the way. Also tried the the ginger sesame salmon poke. Something was a bit off about it so I threw it out after 2 bites. Couldn't quite place it. Location. Great location in Fairhaven. Price. Pretty normal for the poke and the area. Atmosphere. Not a ton to speak off. Better suited for take out. Service. Fantastic every time there. read more

I went there today thinking that they were open til 6. But all these websites have displayed different hours that they are open. Today their open sign was on and I was just looked at and I ignored by two workers when i attempted to open the door. Typically someone is told that they are closed when they try to open the door. But instead they all walked to the back and pretended we didn't exist. Instead, I'll support Just Poke downtown because they communicate their hours very well and aren't blatantly rude to customers. read more

Been to Hawaii in the 80's & missed this food then - didn't know what I was missing al this time - was a great experience for this birthday! Food was marvelous, service so attentive & ambiance very home-friendly read more

Get here early- they sell out towards the end of the day! This place is known for their fresh poke and great sides. Whether you are looking for a traditional Limu Kukui, or Habenero poke if you're feeling something spicy, their flavor combinations are on point. $11 for a mini; which comes with one protein, rice/salad plus a side. The mini was more than substantial enough for me! I ordered the limu kukui with half salad/half rice, toasted sesame dressing and an ocean salad as a side. They had already sold out of the Ginger Shoyu Salmon and a few others by the time I arrived, so I definitely need to go back for more! read more

Fish and chips were satisfying but seemed overpriced for the food you get. Nice view in the dining area.

Fresh, flavorful and friendly. A poke trifecta! I enjoyed mine at Boulevard Park and was asked twice where I got the good looking poke. I had no problem recommending Fairhaven (Aloha) Poke. read more

Great food, very tasty and some unique food items never seen at other poke such as sea asparagus. Great service and although there was a line it moved quickly. Comfortable seating and interesting music playing. We love coming here read more

It doesn't occur that I'm in Bellingham and don't stop by here at least twice! I very much enjoy the dining room, very spacious and bright. Food is great. Lot of options to choose from. Service is typically ok. Rotating students making an effort of being nice. Nothing complain. Overall, a must have if you are looking for an healthier/lighter meal! read more

The tastiest poke you will ever have that is certain to bring a smile to your face. All the flavors of ahi were delicious and the portions were more than enough to keep you full. A unique and upright display also creates a super nice atmosphere that will keep you coming back for more! read more

Amazing poke, kind people Was in town seeing some friends and finally got a chance to try Fairhaven Poke, and it's legitimately great. The folks behind the counter are kind and remember you and your story- thank you :-) . It's a great neighborhood place with world class food. Try it all, it's all fantastic. read more

Favorite poke place of all time! Nestled in the heart of downtown, Fairhaven Poke is a fresh and inviting place to enjoy the best poke you can find! Service and atmosphere amazing! All the personnel have the best attitudes and customer service! The food is literally out of this world with the freshest salmon and tuna, sauces and seafood salad sides you could dream of! Our go to family place for poke we love everything and anything offered! We have picked up items to go and dined in as well and both times we were so full the portions are so well made! Could not ask for more. Thankful this business chose our town to give so much to the community we absolutely adore! read more

Visited Fairhaven Poke after hearing about it so decided to try it! Ordered the large poke, split, with rice. I chose the sockeye salmon, Korean marinated hamachi, and the tofu as the side. The tofu was surprisingly my favorite out of the three choices, that marinate was good! The hamachi tasted a bit frozen, or atleast it was very cold, and the sockeye salmon was alright. This is probably the first time I had sockeye salmon in poke so it was a bit unusual to me. The salmon was a lot tougher than Atlantic salmon and not as fatty so I didn't enjoy it as much. Overall, the poke was good, I wish the fish had a bit more seasoning to them but it tasted refreshing! read more

Expensive but filling! We stopped here because of the amazing reviews. We had regular poke bowls, one with ika, spicy tuna, and cucumber--the other with ginger ahi tuna, salmon, and a sea weed salad. Also a spam musubis. Spice level was stop on, amazing . Service level was top notch. the ordering is different, you pick bow size mini or regular then you get options of two proteins (purple) and one side (blue). Then price is based on weight. Server was happy to explain how it worked and what everything was. Freshness, this is always a worry at a new sea food place. Everything from tuna-Ika was soft and fresh nothing chewy. Spam musubis- was the thing I both wanted to try the most and least . It was recommended by the server who was having one for lunch herself. It was the perfect level of salt and spice. At $3.50 it would make a great quick cheap protein boost. Would order again. We shared a Shaka mango hibiscus ice tea. Good level of sweetness. Over all everything was $40+tip. Would recommend this place and plan to come here again. Again big call out to the server on 6/13/21 she was very helpful with new customers. read more

I love this restaurant! Best poke in town! I can tell they make good food just by how clean their kitchen is.

Stopped in while on a work trip. Great quality fish with tasty seasoned rice. Decent portion sizes. The regular was plenty of food for lunch. Comes with 2 scoops of poke and 1 side. Would be nice to come with 2 side for that price but no big deal. Will be back next time I'm in town. read more

Amazing. What a great find! I did a mini bowl of the oyster kakua with kimchi and it was great!

Good quality of fish - would return for sure! They have quite a variety of types of poke to try out. read more

Nice small little shop, and due to covid they are not allowing any seating so it's all take out. I ordered a regular bowl with shoyu salmon, wasabi salmon and side of crab salad. The salmon was very good but I would have liked the wasabi flavor to be a little more stronger. Even though the crab meat is imitation, I found the dressing to be really good, so if they gave the option of swapping out for real crab meat for even a little extra charge, I think it would make that side item awesome. The menu option is pretty straight forward and simple and you can see all of their options in a case. The amount of food you get is pretty good as well. Overall I would come back to get poke again from this place. read more

This is the best poke place in the entire state of Washington. Super fresh ingredients each time, local Hawaiian ingredients that are not sold in other poke places like sea asparagus (called sea party) and Hawaiian seaweed, as well as super delicious scallops that look insane!!! People complaining about the prices need to go to Safeway or somewhere if they want to pay for cheaper fish. I'm sad that fairhaven poke is closing this summer though ;( read more

Food is top notch almost to the point that it can be a negative if you drop by past early afternoon due to their best proteins selling out by 2 or 3 pm... service is always good and the ambiance while not anything bad is better suited for takeout... wasabi otoro and so soy tofu are the my go-to combo here read more

I grew up in Hawaii and have been spoiled with amazing Poke. Fairhaven Poke is just as good. Lots of choices and the ocean salad is amazing.

Fairhaven Poke is highly disappointing. I tried this place because of many good reviews, but they do not represent my experience. For an expensive $18, I got a poke bowl with two scoops of fish and one side (yes, only one side). The salmon was not sushi quality with many poor quality trim cuts and did not taste good. The eel was so tough and rubbery that much of it was inedible. The sauces and seasoning were also overly salted and heavy. Even the rice wasn't prepared well. I would most definitely not recommend this place. Not sure why they had so many good reviews. The place also looks untidy. Go to Just Poke instead, where the poke is far better, and less expensive. read more

Super fresh poke! Especially out in Fairhaven. They ship their fish overnight so it's really fresh. Best of all, you can put unagi on your poke bowl! A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Friendly place with a nice vibe to it. read more

So we came here expecting a good meal and we left with a great meal. Stopped by after skiing and was met with a vibey casual atmosphere of a restaurant. The restaurant was filled with the best sesame aroma and it immediately grabbed our attention. Service was very nice and helpful. Food was very very good!! Would highly recommend. Price is fair, a bit expensive for the regular which comes with 2 types of protein ($18). In the picture there's the salmon poke #yum with miso cucumber salad. Also yum. Highly recommend the butter mocha which is also pictured. Tofu musubi was mid. (They we're out of spam). read more

Great value here. You can fill your bowl with as little or as much as you want with a huge selection of sushi and all the trimmings. Very quick and easy to choose your ingredients, fill your bowl and check out. You can eat indoors or outdoors or take out. One of my favorites is the seafood salad. I get this along with a few shrimp and lettuce. Often for less than $7. read more

Made a return visit on our trip to Bellingham and even though it was another delicious meal, it did not meet the poke of my dreams. The drunken scallops were still some of the best things I have ever tasted bu the albacore tuna while still plenty delicious was not as fresh and memorable as last time. I did really enjoy their hamachi both in the miso cilantro and the thai basil. What I didnt realize was that getting half salad is NOT a good deal (very little greens) and that the fish itself is quite expensive! Although we did enjoy this meal, it may not be a "must visit" the next time we make a visit to the states. read more

E Komo mai (welcome) to a taste of the Hawaiian islands. I miss the days of living on Oahu and going to Foodland grocery store to pick from at least ten different varieties of poke. Needless to say I was delighted when Aloha Poke opened in Fairhaven. While they don't have the extensive offerings (crab, salmon, mussels, etc.) one would find in Hawaii, they do offer several different mixes of ahi (raw tuna) poke. My favorite mixes include Shoyu Ginger, Habanero Ahi and Spicy Mayo. How it works: Step up to the counter and ask to try a sample in order to decide which flavor Ahi mix you want. The server will direct you to select either a small or large bowl, load it with rice, and then deck it with your choice of ahi mix on top. The Shoyu Ginger Ahi is by far their most popular, but why stop there? If you are like me and can't commit, ask the server to put several different mixes in your bowl. I really miss the spicy mayo Ahi bowls in Hawaii. Aloha Poke hasn't quite mastered the mix that I long for, but hey, it's cheaper than a flight to Honolulu. The Ginger Shoyu made up for it, and definitely deserves high marks in my book. It's as they say on the islands, "Broke da mouth grindz!" The family owned business flies in fresh fish from Hawaii. You are sure to get quality raw tuna here. Mahalo (thank you) Aloha Poke for bringing a taste of the islands to our little corner of the Pacific Northwest. read more

Finally tried this place out today! Been wanting to ever since it opened. I love poke bowls. I have only had them from sushi or Japanese places that usually just have one choice on the menu. Here you get to pick your protein and side. I had the small bowl, the large one looked too big. The small bowl still had plenty of food for one. I chose the spicy tuna for my protein and seaweed/ocean salad for the side. You can get it on a bed of rice or salad or they said you could do half and half. I chose the bed of rice. The tuna had just the right amount of spiciness, it was covered in a delicious sauce. The seaweed salad was super flavorful as well I could eat that on it's own even. They also sprinkle a yummy seasoning over the rice. It was just a scrumptious bowl of delight. Had me craving more. read more

**Update: in July 2017 they changed their name to Fairhaven Poke. It's still the same great staff and delicious poke!** You know a new restaurant in town is good when you find yourself craving it and making convenient excuses to visit the neighborhood just so you can go back. This, my friends, is what has happened to me (numerous times) since Aloha Poke opened! Located on the main drag in Fairhaven, this place is offering up some seriously unique food never-before-seen in town. And if the long lines during the lunch rush are any indication, the poke-loving public has responded well. They have everything from "regular" poke (which, for the uninitiated, is raw ahi/tuna tossed in soy sauce and a few other yummy ingredients) to salmon to hamachi and even tofu and shrimp offerings. Some even have a spicy version and trust me, they ain't lying about the "spicy" part. All are served over a bowl of either rice or salad greens. When you arrive you choose either a large or small bowl, then head over to the poke-window-of-temptation and choose one or more main ingredient offerings, optional extras like sea asparagus or seaweed, and then grab any sides or drinks you want (they also have beer/cider/wine). Everything is priced by weight, and I usually manage to get out of there with a small rice bowl and 2-3 poke offerings for around $12-15. Do I find this unpredictable pricing technique a little annoying? Yes. Has it ever once stopped me from eating here? Nope. Because the amazing freshness of their fish is worth it. BTW if you're poke-curious they will give you a taste of anything out of the case, and their friendly staff will answer any questions you have. Great, now I'm craving poke AGAIN. Hmmm...and I don't have any lunch plans for today either! read more

I'm so excited I finally got to eat at Aloha Poke! It's a pretty new restaurant and is bringing a new Asian flavor to Bellingham. It's easy to order and personalize your bowl, which gives you a unique food experience each time. The flavors are rich, lasting, and fresh. The staff is pleasant and willing to help you out. The environment is relaxed and friendly. A little expensive but not surprising for poke, but in my opinion this poke serves as a wonderful treat every once in a while. read more
