Best poke place I ever had. This poke place is off street close to my kid apartment. The place is small. It has a few table and bar table. I like the poke the most is their selection of the protein. It has wide variety of protein. That includes the typical tuna and salmon, albacore tuna, sear tuna, izumidai, yellowtail, octopus, beef tataki, scallops, unagi, spam and more. I have seen a poke place has a good variety. This is the first. The mixed in also has 22 items I can pick. The miso soup is included part of the deal. The base also good amount of choices. read more

This place was just fine. Came here from all the good reviews with high hopes. I made a poke bowl with tuna and salmon. The service was okay. The employee did their job and helped me but service was a little flat. The crab salad was dense and lacked flavor. I removed it and ate my bowl without it. The rest of the bowl was just fine. I have had better poke but I've also had worse. It felt a little bland and the ingredients didn't feel particularly fresh. My mom ordered a miso soup. They gave her a cup and it was self serve out of a machine which we weren't expecting. She said it was just fine as well. Overall, an okay place. read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We've tried Poke in most every state but Hawaii itself, I'd put this joint in our top ten. Fresh ingredients, esp. the salmon. Plenty of options, more than most poke bars we've visited. Everything tasted sensational, too! The part I loved most was the decor and overall atmosphere. From the personalized art on the walls to the informative waste/recycle area; it was actually far more enjoyable to dine-in as opposed to carry-out. Considering the nasty neighborhood they're located in, that says quite a bit. I feel the cost is reasonable; especially when you factor in the quality and the vast array of options. The only drawback is the ineffective customer service. Not very friendly and not at all helpful. It's probably rough on first-timers, but since we eat this quite often, we persevered. 05/25 read more

This place used to be a staple in my poke rotation. I enjoy all the toppings options. They have a great variety and service is always quick. Last time I went the watermelon radish was horribly bitter and affected the taste of the whole bowl. read more

FOB Poke seriously delivers when it comes to food--but wow, the location is rough. While we were eating, we got a full-blown live show of drug deals across the street and a series of loud homeless rants. The stretch along 3rd Street reeks of human pee, and when we finished, we made a beeline out of the area. Definitely not somewhere I'd linger. That said, the food was a huge and unexpected win. They have so many options, and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The coconut and green tea infused jasmine rice was amazing, and their salmon was super fresh. They offer tons of sauce options--my favorites were the FOB house sauce and the creamy cilantro. And the toppings? Absolutely stacked. The zesty mango was such a unique touch, and I loved that they had seaweed salad, edamame, imitation crab, cucumbers, and more--all included. The only thing that cost extra was avocado, which is totally fair. We ordered 3 bowls for around $40, and we ate every bite happily. If FOB Poke were in a better neighborhood, I'd be here all the time. For now, it's a "get in, get your food, and get out" kind of place--but worth it for the quality. read more

It has to be one of my more favorite poke places! There's plenty of options and the best part is that they don't charge extra. A lot of poke places charge extra for sauce or toppings, but the only thing extra here is the avocado. It was saucy and flavorful. The only thing is that it is in a bit of an uncomfortable area, we had to park next to a park down the street and immediately had something thrown on the car and a few people in the nude chillin at the park, but that's the only negative. Wish I could come here alone whenever I was craving poke instead of grabbing someone to come with me for safety lol. read more

This place is amazing, when, I'm back in town, I know that if I get a meal here, it will always be top tier. The quality never changes and the ingredients are always so incredibly fresh. As a vegetarian, it's hard to find a poke place that makes a delicious tofu bowl, yet here, it's never a problem here. Veg and nonvegetarians alike will have plenty of options. So beyond filling, go check it out! read more

Walked over to get an early lunch at around 11 am. There were some people in line but it gave us time to look at their extensive menu. It doesn't limit much except for the number of proteins you get with the size which is pretty generous. We ate it in the restaurant and they had a free miso soup machine as well. Build Your Own Regular Bowl - I got brown rice with green onion, cucumber, FOB poke sauce which I assumed was house sauce with sesame sauce, salmon, seared ahi tuna, edamame, mango, seaweed salad, crabmeat and topped with the wonton strips. All together, everything tasted fresh from the mango to seaweed salad to the big portions of fish that they put in as well as savory and umami from the sauces. For 14.99, this was a massive portion that we were both not able to finish on our own. A great place to get fresh poke with many menu options. read more

Delicious poke! Ive reviewed FOB in many other locations, and its always great. We came because the line for FOB sushi was too long, and this was close by.

FOB Poke Bar I loved this place so much I went twice during my stay in Seattle. FOB Poke Bar isn't in the safest area, so be cautious. The workers are very nice, and the portions are generous. I really enjoyed the FOB rice and appreciated the wide variety of toppings, most of which are free. I got the large bowl both times, with salmon, for 17.99. I really wish this place was in San Francisco. Hope to see this place in SF one day read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A no nonsense poke spot in downtown Seattle (I think). Walking to the restaurant can be a trip in and of itself, but the food here is worth it. The regular poke ended up being ~$19 with tax and tip. I liked the unique toppings that you typically can't find at other poke spots like chick peas and whole cherry tomatoes. Definitely would recommend getting the fob rice and fob sauce as they were unique and tasted good. read more

It's hard for me to veer from my usual poke spots, but this place just got added to my list! They have TONS of options for toppings and sauces and have the whole menu labeled with gluten free symbols which made it really easy for me to select my options. I was so impressed with their selection and how fun their sauces are! The staff is very friendly and hygienic and got us through the line quickly. The ambiance is lacking for sure- just one or two tables and lots of homeless people outside the door. Would definitely take it to go. I loved my bowl and can't wait to return! read more

There is a limited amount of seating inside. read more

We stopped here after an escape room event nearby and each had a poke bowl. I really like their FOB flavored rice as a base and chose the salmon and tuna for my proteins.

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Our receipt - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Loved FOB Poke Bar in Bellevue! Saw lots of reviews for their Seattle location so I was glad they have one here. The variety of options available for building your poke bowl is impressive, making it easy to customize your meal to your liking. Unlimited toppings after the protein. One of the highlights of my visit was the self-serve miso soup station. It's such a thoughtful addition, allowing you to enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of miso soup alongside your poke. The ingredients at FOB Poke Bar are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and the service is quick. read more

I really thought poke bowl can't be easier to make or enjoyed. I was WRONG the fish is so fresh !!! and the price is amazing for what you paid for their sides are pretty special, ranging from yellow radish ( rarely see this anywhere ) to watermelon radish ( super rare) and actual seaweed, not salad seaweed like your original poke place. DO get the Wasabi Aoli !!! it going to be a game changer Free Miso soup is a huge plus !! I literally brought this poke bowl back to Austin with me because of how amazing this is. read more

In a sort of sus are, but once you are inside, it is poke wonderland! I was honestly surprised by how much food you could get at the price point, and how fresh the fish was. I got the salmon and yellowtail, both of which were super fresh, and my friend also got the tuna which was really fresh too (despite not looking so). It's also crazy you get unlimited toppings, so you can really load up your bowl! It was absolutely delicious. The restaurant also serves miso soup on the counter for customers, which is a fun and nice little touch! read more

When I lived in Seattle this place was my weekly constant. I would get a poke bowl with green jasmine rice, salmon+yellowtail, and basically all toppings (especially tamago, normal crab salad, spicy crab salad, mango). imo 45th stop n shop has better fish quality but the topping selection here is ELITE (tho not authentic). they have a few locations but belltown's is my favorite. read more

FOB poke was the best poke I've ever had. You can build your own poke bowl and they have unlimited toppings. It was our last meal in Seattle and I am still dreaming of it to this day. I already know when I am back in town this is a must have on my list for pit stops. Quality of the fish and toppings are all high quality. Very nice staff that patiently waited for me when I was in a decision paralysis from all of the amazing topping options they have. Highly recommend this place for a high quality poke bowl!! read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The best poke in Seattle. The best value and the most tasty. 10/10 I've been here many times

The location is a bit out of the way. We went later in the evening, which may have made it feel worse, but the area didn't feel very safe. There were a lot of homeless people nearby, and while waiting for our Uber, the neighborhood smelled bad and honestly felt pretty uncomfortable. We came here because it's well-known and wanted to give it a try. The food itself was good, but the staff wasn't particularly friendly, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I don't think it's worth going out of your way for. read more

I went to FOB Poke Bar for the first time with one of my friends who loves it, and understandably so. We went on a weekday evening, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to order and get our poke almost immediately. I thought all the employees were nice and efficient, and I was impressed that they could hear my friend and me both ordering at the same time and remember what toppings we respectively wanted. The menu is incredibly expansive, and although I don't have any dietary restrictions, I appreciated how there were so many vegan and vegetarian options. It's also a great place for new people to venture into seafood because they have cooked protein options. Unless there is a price next to something on the menu, it's complimentary. I loved how tofu, usually counted as one protein that you pay for, was a complimentary topping. For my poke, I got a half & half base of FOB rice and quinoa and couscous, most of the mix ins, a few of the sauces, two proteins, and most of the complimentary toppings. For the amount of food you get, the price point is amazing. There are a few tables and chairs for seating inside, and it's a pretty casual atmosphere. You bus your own food, and they have utensils and napkins on a counter nearby. I'd definitely come here again, just for the poke. read more

I've been to a lot of poke places, and this place is definitely a good one. They have lots of base options and the portion sizes are pretty good. They fill your bowl to the top. The seafood tasted and looked fresh, but I don't recommend paying extra for the eel. The eel was very rubbery and cold... not a fan. I ordered the small bowl and it was pretty filling. The service was quick as well. read more

Great value for the price! Very quick service, friendly staff, and quality ingredients. Straightforward and personalize-able menu to fit every individual's preference. I got a large bowl (3 proteins for $16.99) with salmon, yellowtail, and ahi tuna. Unlimited and free toppings (except the +0.50 avocado), which can really make the bowl heavy and worthwhile. I like adding chickpeas, broiled tofu, tamagoyaki, edamame, and (spicy) crabmeat for extra protein. I try to finish all the fish, leaving the tasty rice x toppings mixture as the perfect base for my next meal. read more

FOB Poke Bar is a delicious poke spot with a couple of locations throughout Seattle. They have unlimited toppings to choose from and I like the FOB rice, which is coconut and green tea infused jasmine rice. They also don't skim on your portions and really pack the bowl up, which is always a plus in my book. This location is right in downtown, so parking can be difficult. It's best if you can drop someone off to order your poke bowl. If you live nearby though, I would be doing multiple visits throughout the month! read more

I was pretty underwhelmed with the poke here. I felt it was lacking some flavor all around.

Tl;dr I've been to a lot of poke spots, but this one was definitely one of the most efficient, had the most toppings, and was very generous with the amount of food I got! I've already been here twice and would definitely come again if I'm ever in the area and want poke. During peak times like week day lunch, you may need to wait a bit if you're ordering in-store, but the line should move pretty fast, and even at peak times the line was nothing like what I saw snaking outside of FOB Sushi. There is a moderate amount of seating inside, but since most people seem to take their lunches to go, you're probably going to be ok finding seats. They do offer water inside, and there is one single-user bathroom which was weirdly popular with diners (as for the bathroom's state: heard it was ok, but didn't experience it myself). As for toppings, this is the first place where I've seen tamago, jicama, and multiple kinds of radish like watermelon radish as toppings. Although I was excited by the tamago, it was too sweet for me. The watermelon radish and jicama were great, and all my other go-to poke toppings were available. In terms of freshness, the toppings and the fish were all great! I've only gotten the large size here, but considering that it basically lasts two meals and is always surprisingly heavy, you're probably fine with whatever the smaller size is unless you're super hungry. You do pay up-front, so not too much to say about service. The workers seem friendly enough and constantly ask if you want more toppings, which I appreciate since sometimes I forget one. The area around the store is a teensy bit sketchy, but overall seemed fine (during the daytime at least, not sure about later). read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Build-Your-Own - Regular - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

FOB Poke Bar has a few locations across Seattle and the Eastside with this one in the Belltown area. They have a decent amount of tables and seating inside. You can really customize your bowl here with the variety of bases, mix-ins, proteins, toppings, and sauces that they offer. I got the regular with 2 scoops ($13.99) with tuna and salmon on a base of white rice. They have a decent amount of mix-ins and you can also add unlimited toppings. The poke bowl didn't have a ton of fish (just one small scoop each) but the toppings were enough to make for a good portion. It was flavorful even on top of the sauces that I added. The bowl was very filling and the couple times that I've been to FOB Poke Bar I've left pretty full and satisfied with what I got. I wish they included more fish in the scoops but I guess they make up for it with their abundant toppings. read more

I stopped into FOB Poke Bar on a Sunday at around 1pm with a group of 5 after wandering around the bustling Pike Place Market for the morning. Located in the heart of Belltown, the actual restaurant is a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of place, since it's hidden by scaffolding and construction, but the inside is more spacious than the unassuming exterior lets on, with a front counter and plenty of seating. The restaurant was busy with a line when we entered, but it moved quickly, since they had multiple people working the front counter. You order by taking a paper menu and telling the servers what you'd like. Prices vary based on how many scoops of protein you'd like - I ordered a Regular ($13.99), which comes with two scoops of protein. You start with a base, and they have plenty of variety (different types of rice, lettuces/veggies, quinoa, couscous, and even tortilla chips), and then you can pick as many mix-ins as you would like (seaweed, green onion, cucumbers, jalapeños, and sweets onions) - all Gluten Free! For proteins, I chose Salmon and Yellowtail, and they certainly don't skimp on the protein scoops. There's many different types of sashimi/poke, as well as cooked options like grilled chicken or beef tataki, and even eel (for an added fee). There's also multiple sauces/salad dressings you can use, but I thought that the seasoning from the fish/toppings was plenty! But the best part of FOB Poke Bar is their unlimited toppings feature - a lot of other poke places charge for additional toppings when you order more than 5 or 6, but at FOB, you can get as many as you'd like, and some that would be considered "premium" or an extra cost at other places are included here, such as broiled tofu, crabmeat salad, or masago. Of course, there's the standard fare such as seaweed salad, edamame, and ginger, as well as crunchy toppings like furikake, fried garlic, and wonton strips, and a whole plethora of other toppings that I won't list out. After paying $13.99 for a fully loaded bowl (really an amazing value), I wasn't expecting the quality to be all that good, but I was pleasantly surprised. No, the poke didn't taste the freshest (so I've knocked it down a star), and the crab salad tasted a bit off, but the vegetables were crunchy and fresh, and everything was well-seasoned. This won't be the best poke you've ever tried, but it's certainly the best value that you'll get for poke anywhere in Seattle, and service is fast and friendly. Come here if you're hungry and needing to curb your poke fix! read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Build-Your-Own - Regular ($13.99) with Salmon and Yellowtail - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was told this is the best poke place in Seattle and was that true? YES. The sashimi practically melts in your mouth. Their signature FOB rice is very unique and a good healthy option. Speaking of options, there are too many of them! You can easily get overwhelmed but there is really no other place that gives you so much quality options for an affordable price. The only downside is that it's not a very comfortable shop. It's tucked away in a busy street under scaffolds, and it's humid hot inside. read more

FOB Poke Bar- Seattle - Menu - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Worth the five stars. It's fresh, and they offer generous portions. Plus, they seems to have the largest selection of "build your own bowl" options. You have 10 options for the base alone (including tortilla chips), in addition to 15 protein options, 22 mix ins, and nine sauces. Can't makeup your mind? They have "ready to eat bols" with four different options, including a "nothing raw bow." If you opt for delivery: I'll say that my delivery experience was great. The order arrived fast/earlier than expected; and the presentation, portions, and overall meal was 5-stars. read more
