    Quick, fresh, affordable, and great service! No frills joint that offers sushi, poke, ramen, and curries. Very clean inside, owner was very friendly. Plan to back more!

    Poke fresh is an amazing neighborhood restaurant in Roosevelt!! I stumbled upon this place and it is a great hole in the wall spot for some quick sushi. Nearly everything on the menu is buy one get one free!! I couldn't believe it. The portions are generous and the sushi is good! The rice is a little mushy but honestly for the price, I'm not looking for much more! It is a great spot if I don't want to cook dinner and want a cheap meal. The owner is very kind as well. The poke is amazing too! They have pre marinated poke like Hawaii which is hard to come by. I will definetly be coming back to this place!

    This is a hidden gem! Don't get thrown off by the name, they have more than just Poke. The eel roll and chicken roll are both cooked. The sushi rice in the rolls has the perfect amount of softness and stickiness, the eel tasted very fresh. I ordered them with eel sauce. The fish bone soup is also very tasty, salty, but if you water it down a bit, it's perfect! This place also has ramen! The owners of the restaurant are very welcoming and attentive.

    As a college student, late nights are often a staple part of the academic experience. Given the limited selection of restaurant options after hours, Poke Fresh has stood out as a late night go-to. The value of the food here is unbeatable. Between the $8 donburi, $4 salmon collar, $10 sukiyaki and other affordable Japanese comforts, there are few other places that provide the same bang for buck; and, they absolutely do not skimp on portions for the price. It's not the best food you'll ever have, but it hits the spot every time. The atmosphere is modern yet cozy, and the employees are always kind and accommodating to match. Highly recommend this place for an affordable, reliable meal.

    Great place that stays open late! Too many Poke places seem to close earlier than other types of restaurants. Poke Fresh is open until 1:30 AM, which is awesome! My son and I went to Poke Fresh after a Yelp search and found this place to be quite good. Parking sucks but it's like that everywhere in the U District. I did however notice the Link Light Rail Roosevelt Station is just up the street so that is a great option to avoid the parking hassle. We each got the medium sized make your own bowl which comes with 2 proteins as well as a bevy of choices for other toppings, etc. I love the variety of choices and selected the Ahi and Spicy Salmon. They allow half and half of bases like several rice varieties or greens so I got half salad greens and half brown rice. The service was great with a very nice and accommodating server. Kinda weird they played Hispanic music over the speakers for the entire restaurant but maybe the employees get their choice when working. No biggie. I'll return here one day and will likely take the light rail for convenience.

    I come here for poke once a month or so, it is conveniently located and not in the heart of U District, which I pretty much avoid. The servers are always really friendly when I come in, they take my order promptly and aren't skimpy on the portions. The food always tastes and feels fresh. I like the options of toppings and mix-ins, as well as the sauces and fish options. You really can make it whatever you want! I always go heavy on the salmon, and theirs is pretty dang good! It's not the most attractive place to sit in to eat, it's very basic, but the people watching sitting at the windows is unbeatable.

    Raw +salad half (now) and cooked +rice half (later) = a few meals out of one Small Poke

    Good quality, fast service, open late. A little pricey but good quality and portion. Been a few more times and recommended to folks in the area. It may be hard to communicate through the glass partition so be sure to speak clearly.

    God I love this place. The owner is so nice too which makes the food taste 10 x better. I love their classic Japanese curry.

    For the price they offer, the quantity and quality was worth it. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful and met my poke needs. I got the small size and it was perfect! They put so much of each ingredient you want especially the protein and I appreciated that very much. The employees there were super nice and the place was clean and welcoming.

    Fried Tofu Ginger Bowl.  Ooops, I ate about half before taking pic.  This is a small. Portions are generous!  Love spam sushi. Yummy

The bacon wrapped mochi was a tasty treat that we ended up ordering multiple of. The scallops were delicious and so was the eel and mackerel. I cannot wait to return to the restaurant. I also truly enjoyed the yuzu margarita. After waiting in line for the ice cream out front. The window closed abruptly and without any communication to the line of at least 15 people patiently waiting. Very strange and rude. Not sure it's worth waiting 30 min for ice cream to then have the line close without any notice.

My favorite spot to sit at is at one of the high tables for two on the left side of the dining room. We like to sit more towards the back so it's a bit more quiet. My hubs and I like coming here for happy hour and getting two orders of Zangi (fried chicken), two orders of the Pork Chashu Bao, and two orders of the sashimi special (which comes from their connected restaurant Secret Fort). We also like to get the iced green tea for two which comes in a big, beautiful bottle and you can see the leaves floating in it. Thanks for this rec, Gina!

We ordered only from the happy hour menu because they had a ton of good sounding options there. The yakiton came first and was really greasy and black peppery. The yakitori meat was smaller than the chicken skewers I've gotten at Southeast Asian restaurants in the Seattle area, but these ones had a softer texture like teriyaki chicken. The kalbi beef was inconsistent. One of our plates had large pieces, while the other plate was full of small pieces. The smaller kalbi was drier. The bigger kalbi was chewier. I'd stick to ordering kalbi from Korean restaurants where the meat is more tender and easier to eat. The best item we ordered was the crispy chicken wings. They really were crispy - nothing like I've had before in terms of crispiness. Next time I would try the JFC to compare. Something that I didn't like was that they put both orders of the wings on the same plate instead of splitting them up. They split up the kalbi plates, but nothing else. It was ok to combine the skewers because they're so tiny, but the wings were almost falling off the plate they were on and very close to being a bad jenga situation with how they were placed.
