    Found three fish bones in my salmon
    Tabitha Faye V.

    The decor is nice and the staff were very friendly! I've had a lot of poke in my life, but this was the first time that I found fish bones still in my poke. The salmon was cut in large pieces so I would be careful to watch for bones. Besides the bones, the food was very yummy but just slightly expensive for the portion size.

    I love love love this place. I'm a huge seafood fan and this always hits the spot. The variety is amazing I can always choose any variety and be satisfied. The ambiance is always bright and they happened to be playing Afro beats this time around which made the whole place feel more coastal. Portions are always perfect and always happy to give more hijiki

    These Just Poke places are popping up all over the Puget Sound region. It's nice that they have a spot in Des Moines right off Pac Hwy. It's also within walking distance from Highline College located in a multi development below the Highline student dorms. I built my own bowl. Everything tasted fresh. I was going to get the mac salad but it looked crusty. I dunno...maybe they need to cover it with a lid. It's nice they have dedicated parking spots. I bet during campus hours those students will try to find parking spots anywhere and everywhere. Plus I'm sure once the Kent/Des Moines Light Rail Station is up and running people might try parking there too. Really friendly employees working here. Glad to have this restaurant in the area.

    The food here is amazing and the customer service is really great and such a cute restaurant.

    This is really good poke with tons of flavors and options. However, we got food poisoning here. I'm not sure if it was from poor food handling, temperature of the food, or what. We will try this place again since the food was so tasty. We tried a poke bowl that was delicious and an eel donburri that was melt in your mouth. Parking is limited, but if you don't go during a peak time, it's not bad. Food: 5/5 (but because of the food poisoning 1/5) Staff: 4/5 Location: 1/5 (not a nice part of town. They do have a security patrol I saw in the parking lot, but many cars get broken into or catalytic converters go missing here often)

    Very good poke. Very unfriendly staff... I will also say that it's a little overpriced for the amount you get.

    Definitely taste of home!!! Love this L&L near the Seatac airport!!!! I was craving some plate…read morelunches from Hawaii and this is authentic local Hawaii plate lunch place. The portion was big and perfectly cooked. I had the spam musubi and the side of fried fish, just simply delicious. The seasoning was so good, I didn't need to add any sauces at all. Also got the classic chicken katsu plate and this didn't disappoint. Restaurant was well stocked with condiments and very clean. On top of that the service was super nice. The owner was a local boy from Maui and super friendly and helpful. The best of all, I swear the price was cheaper than some of the L&Ls I've just recently visited in Honolulu. I'd definitely return to this yummy plate lunch place for a great meal.

    Such great service - so accommodating and patient with someone eating here for the first time…read more Although their soda machine wasn't working, I still could grab a 16 oz bottled drink for the same price. I ended up getting the shrimp, fish and spare rib with brown rice. It was so much food and everything was just wonderful! You can dine in or carryout - there are plenty of tables for dining in and it was clean and comfortable inside. I got carry out and walked back to my hotel with my food. I thought the shrimp and fish were excellent. The spare rib was super tasty too. The brown rice was good. I was surprised by how good the macaroni salad was - it was amazing! Definitely don't forget to grab some of that. It came with my entree.

    Finally checked out West Hill Deli! Absolutely loved their food and ambiance…read more For food, we got the adobo pork belly (comes with macaroni salad, rice, and vegetables on the side) and the pandan fried chicken (comes with rice and veggies on the side). Pandan was super crispy and rice was soft, not mushy. Adobo was rich in garlic and in smoky and sweet flavor. Love they kept the fat on some adobo pieces. Each dish was just enough for us to finish for breakfast. For drinks, we ordered the calamansi juice and calamansi iced tea. Both taste great. Side notes: You order up front, bring your table number, and sit wherever you like. They will bring you your food. Once youre done, please put your food away in the back, which is located on the left hand side of the deli if youre facing the deli at the entryway. It was busy on a Sunday around noon. A few were available but was filled quickly after about half an hour of us arriving. People tend to spend time here. About an hour if youre just there to have a quick meal, but families were gathering and spending time with no rush which i loved. No waitress or waiter to check on you, just only to bring you your food which took a reasonable 2 minutes for drinks and about 10 - 15 for food. Overall, we definitely recommend!

    Everything we ordered here was so satisfying, but the pork sisig with rice was the standout for me…read moresuper flavorful, perfectly savory, and just hits all the right notes. I also tried the garlic fried rice with longanisa and eggs, which was really good too. The longanisa had that nice sweet-savory balance, and the garlic rice was fragrant and comforting, though I'd still pick the sisig if I had to choose between the two. The ube pancakes were delicious soft, slightly sweet, and definitely a fun treat. Fair warning though, they will leave your teeth a little purple for a bit but honestly worth it. I also got the ube coffee and... YUM. Such a good combo with the pancakes. Overall, everything was solid and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back, especially for that pork sisig. Tita is definitely cooking in the back you can taste it.

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.
