    Quick stop for Poke while driving from Seattle to Olympic National Park. We had great service; they were so helpful in recommending toppings and did not skimp on the sauces. They were well knowledgeable on which ingredients were gluten-free. Overall, this as one of the best poke we have ever had! Very flavorful!

    Shared parking with other restaurants, can be a little tight and busy. Restaurant is always clean, poke and other toppings are fresh and never look (or taste) like they have been sitting too long. Lots of options, very reasonably priced. They are very generous with their portions. Friendly staff, do not rush you as you look at the options and decide which you want.

    My favorite poke spot! Nicely decorated inside and kept real clean, they even have glass between the customers and counter. I really like that they have BOTH brown rice and white rice (love the brown rice). Build your own bowl and have it just the way you want! I go for the spice with spicy salmon and spicy tuna. All the toppings you could want are also there. For a quick and fresh/healthy meal this place is hard to beat!

    My mom suggested I try this place out while I was visiting town for the holidays. She says she stops often and gets a bowl to take home. I wasn't sure what to expect since most poke places I've been to were fancy and usually sit-down and be served affairs. So I was surprised and pleased to see that this place was more of a "fast casual" place where you can order all of your ingredients at the front and take your order with you from there. I had a bowl with a wide variety of ingredients. Proteins I used were spicy salmon as well as tuna. Both very fresh and delicious! Also had a wide array of veggies and other things, including crab mix which always adds a great flavor. I feel that I got a great lunch that completely filled me up. My mom could only eat half of the bowl and took the rest home. Overall this was a great experience with great food and a great healthy choice in the area. The employees were very friendly and accommodating for me as a newbie. Lunch was just below $15 but it was all worth it. I would say this place is on par with Chipotle prices but you're getting a different and more healthier option. I would definitely return!

    Yes please!!

    Good news, this place is still spectacular and the service and wonderful. High quality fish and toppings, complete with a clean and friendly environment, I couldn't ask for anything more :)

    I loved this spot I always have . I have reviewed here many a time . But there was GLASS?!... in my husbands poke bowl He had his usual a poke bowl with double proteins , double tuna double salmon . Seaweed salad , edamame, avacado , cucumbers He said he crunched down on something hard and he spit it out and I thought it was a piece of plastic it definitely was not . It was a piece of chipped glass and then I was worried to eat my bowl only because I was scared to find glass in mine and break a tooth . I have never had this issue before but that was really alarming seeing a chunk of Glass in the food .

    Sesame seeds on the food from the poke bowl
    Rae S.

    We've been ordering from this restaurant for a while, and I always specify that I have a sesame allergy. Other sushi and Asian restaurants I've been to have successfully accommodated this allergy. The food here is delicious, and we've enjoyed it, but I've been experiencing issues and reactions. I didn't initially connect these reactions to the food because the order always comes labeled with "sesame allergy." Fortunately, my reactions don't lead to anaphylaxis and I don't need an EpiPen, just a lot of Benadryl. However, today I clearly saw sesame seeds in my order. I called and spoke with someone who initially thought I had called the wrong restaurant. I confirmed I had not. Then she asked if I could have sesame oil because the fish is marinated in it. A person with a sesame allergy cannot have anything containing sesame. She told me I needed to call ahead to inform them of the allergy, even though it's noted in the order and written by hand on the bowl. The chef then came on the line and assured me he hadn't marinated any of the fish in sesame oil. I asked about various items in my bowl and was assured there was no sesame, but there were clearly sesame seeds present. I opted to eat the spam musubi instead, but upon further inspection, I found sesame seeds in that as well. It appears that the sesame seeds are in the rice, which is likely the source of the problem. If you have food allergies, I'd suggest exercising caution here because it seems they are not aware of what allergens are present in their foods and may gaslight you.

    Went here for lunch on a whim, and it was pretty good. I had read in a review that you could get gluten free options and compared it but honestly it was just plain salmon or plain tuna. The portion size for 3 scoops was good and it was fresh. It was quick to get and everything but service left a little to be desired.

    I got a notification that my very old review was being featured so I decided it was time to update.I used to really love poke pop but I don't go here as much anymore. Like everything else since Covid prices have gone up but that's to be expected. If you're going to order from Poke Pop avoid using Door Dash because the portions are considerably smaller when using door dash than when you go in and order. After several experiences with that, I've found I don't have that problem when I order from the other poke spot in the tacoma mall. I still like Poke Pop but I just avoid them on Door Dash. I've always had very professional, and kind customer service here. The establishment is always well kept and clean.The atmosphere is nice and much better than a lot of other grab and go style places. There is a seating area but I usually get it to go.

    2-protein poke bowls
    Kimmy L.

    My friends and I came here last week for lunch. For those who are familiar with the franchise, Just Poke, Poké Pop has basically the same fish choices and toppings. I ordered a 2-protein bowl for $13.99 with half salad and half rice and spicy ahi and spicy tuna. I got all of the free toppings and the poke sauce too. I have to say, the portion sizes, especially the amount of fish you get is pretty small for the price. Additionally, their spicy poke options were very mild and not spicy at all; I even added spicy Mayo as a topping and I couldn't taste any spice. Lastly, I was disappointed by the crab salad as it was simply just shredded surimi without any mayo mixed in with it. Service was fine and quickly put together my bowl. While it was worth a try, I think I can find better poke and more value for my buck elsewhere. Overall: 3/5 for food, 4/5 for service

    Interior

    Lovely ambience with lots of natural light from the glass windows. There is ample seating, and the tables are kept very clean. Delicious poke bowl with generous servings. The fish seems very fresh to me! The menu on the wall clearly states which toppings will incur an additional charge. The workers are very amicable and offer detailed answers to questions about the food and ingredients. I would highly recommend stopping by this fine establishment.

    Been coming back for over a year. They're consistently good and have several topping options.

    Ask the Community - Poke Pop

    Are there any gluten free options?

    You can have salad as the base for your bowl. I don't know about their sauces, but everything else is just different types of fish and veggies to top your bowl.

    Is everything raw?

    Nope!! The octopus salad uses cooked octopus and they have BBQ eel and other cooked options.

    What is poke?

    Poke is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as an entree.

We asked for a table for a party of two, and we found ourselves waiting there with no communication from them that they were working on seating us - basically they went back to chatting with each other. I had to go back and ask a few minutes later if they were planning on seating us before we got an "oh yeah, sorry one sec". Meanwhile they were joking around with each other. I truly am all for having a good time at work, but it wasn't clear that they were focused on us. I'm willing to believe they were working on it, but at the end of the day we were left guessing. - Our food took a pretty long time to get out, again compared to the fact that it was relatively slow. - Not gonna lie, the food was mid. I think I have realistic standards, but this is a relatively high-budget menu so I was expecting a little more. I'll end by saying, I'm not a serial negative reviewer. I wouldn't have left this review if the bill wasn't as pricey as it was. I believe that people are good, but the processes behind this place were rough.

I couldn't remember the name of the place, but we found it: The Fish Peddler! We must have arrived at a perfect interval because there was a table for two that had just been bussed and ready for us near the large counter in the back where food was collected by servers and presented to hungry patrons at any of the 30-40 tables. Our server was genuinely warm and delightful and guided us to the menu and the on-line beer on tap information. Drinks were ordered and delivered in minutes - just enough time for us to announce our selections: A 3-piece halibut and chips for her, and for me, the albacore tuna with spring greens and gouda cheese on sourdough with a pint of I'm Not Afraid Of Music. It had the lowest alcohol content, and since I was driving, didn't want to push my luck. When our huge white dinner plates arrived - oh - did I mention the amazing jalapeño coleslaw? - we were amazed at the size of the perfectly deep fried halibut - which, on their own, provide a good bite, making only a smitten of tartar sauce necessary because you gotta have tartar sauce with fried fish, after all, right? I picked up one my sandwich haves and removed the toothpick with too much gusto and suffered a small splinter that I couldn't remove until I got home a couple of hours later with the help of a magnifying glass, a tweezer and some masking tape. But I ignored the splinter while I enjoyed my "this is NOT your mom's - or HER mom's - Tuna melt". The perfect balance of the albacore spread with the gouda showing up gloriously in almost every bite, the pillowy and cool greens and tomato slice that balanced the heat from the albacore between the two lightly toasted sourdough was my Valentine's Day gift to my mouth. We were stuffed, but not defeated - we ordered our cheesecake to go, and I get to have the last piece of halibut for a snack later on! It was great getting re-acquainted with This cozy, fun, busy restaurant since our last (and first) visit 3 years ago. My only regret is that for some unknown but surely inexcusable reason, I had waited three years before returning. Won't happen again.
