    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 :)

    Sesame seeds on the food from the poke bowl

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    Devora L.

    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.

    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.

But then once you tell them you're there for the bar or to sit down and eat they let you in through a little magical side door (think speakeasy ish). It's so cute and decorated with vintage and classic tiki items. They know what they're doing when it comes to true tiki culture. The bar is stocked with all the best rums (Appleton Estate, Planteray etc) and other libations. They have fun non-alchocholic options, too! The bartender was so nice and friendly and welcoming. We got the zombie (with alcohol) and the Cinderella which is non-alchoholic. Both were delicious and really took us on an escapism getaway to paradise. They do have food however as vegetarians our options were limited. They have fries and veggie Lumpia, beyond that it's all meat. If that's your thing they do offer little meat samples when you sit down. Cannot wait to go back and try more drinks... and would love to try dinner if they expand their vegetarian/vegan options.

We were ignored, treated rudely and given the run around to get a menu while everyone else had them and the bar itself did also to create issues.

Absolutely divine. To top it all off, they brought us peeled orange slices at the end, and it was the perfect, refreshing finish to the meal. Came in for a quick lunch, left very full and very happy. Will definitely be back if we are ever in Seattle again.

The food was amazing but definitely recommend eating it as soon as possible as the fries, fried fish, hot wings, and banana pudding was pretty soggy when we arrived home. But besides that, the food was good but as someone who hates soggy texture, definitely will be eating it right after I get it. This is also where I first tried a Faygo and I was hooked as it complimented the meal so well, I got the red pop flavor. The service here during when I arrived was friendly. They seemed to be busy too so they were trying to get orders going and out, not much conversation. Although understandably so as they seem to be a local favorite and have many regulars coming in. As for the ambiance, it is just a small restaurant that is primarily take out but they do have a small table and also a counter to put on hot sauce(s) or seasoning salt. They also have a bunch of community posters and pictures of current events and community people throughout the restaurant. It's clear that they love the community and the community loves them in return.

We arrived around 9pm-ish on a Saturday where they had live music playing at the bar. We asked to be seated away from the bar as we wanted to have conversations and felt the music was too loud to do that and our hostess was more than happy to accommodate that. Our server Wizz was absolutely the highlight of our visit as he ensured everything we ordered was brought out, checked in us at appropriate times and had a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, they were out of the pink crowns which seems like it is a popular choice as our server shared they only had the yellow and blue one. My brother got the sausage pasta, my boyfriend got their beef fried rice, my mom and I shared the Just the Basics seafood boil, and we got onion rings to share. I know last time I did the birthday package, I was only allowed to use from the alcohol options of a margherita or a Blue Hawaiian but I prefer fruity drinks and the Blue Hawaiian is a slushie drink. Luckily it seems you can choose a Roy Roger or Shirley Temple (used to be for kids' birthdays) and I went with the Shirley Temple. It was okay, I feel like it was more Sprite tasting and not much of the grenadine. The food arrived and everything tasted great. We were really impressed with the seafood boil and everyone got to try it out even though it is suited for one person. The yum yum sauce that comes with the fried rice is heavenly and my boyfriend who doesn't use too much sauce doused his fried rice with it but it was absolutely the best. My brother enjoyed his sausage pasta as well. We got our ice cream which was refreshing after all the food we devoured. They even brought out the magic candle which they say is reserved for parties of 6 and more but it just shows that Wizz wanted to make my birthday memorable. Two employees came over with Wizz to sing me happy birthday which felt genuine and not forced like at other restaurants. We got our photo which also came in this cute green frame to take home, that's a huge set up as I was just given the photo when I last celebrated my birthday. Definitely looking forward to come back to use the $10 gift certificate and for an amazing time.

The wings lived up to the expectations and we will definitely be back to have wings here again. Also ordered a feeling crabby, seafood boil with snow, crab, head, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes in the house special sauce, and it was very good. Almost as good as Captain crab. And the crab here was done perfectly. Definitely coming back to try more things on the menu Our total with two drinks, appetizer platter and feeling crabby with tax and tip for 3 people was $110 (& we did have some leftovers) Was so busy eating that I forgot to take pictures (next time)
