FOB Poke Bar

Tldr; amazing food with pretty good place. First, the food at this place is especially good as it provides fresh options with still pertinent taste. Second, the atmosphere of the place is pretty cool with nice touches to the seating area, the bathroom and even the recycle bin. Third, the prices are pretty reasonable especially when you count that you can get all the toppings included in the price. Note: most people use the takeout option as the area doesn't inspire most confidence.

I’m a believer in poke bowls again after trying the poke bowl from here. It has been a couple of years since I’d last had a poke bowl since they usually all taste kinda the same, aren’t very filling and just generally aren’t so fresh. I placed a pickup order through Google and it was ready super quick. The order was ready when I got there, seamless experience. The poke bowl was mad tasty. I built my own and the best part is they don’t hold back on ingredients. Two bases and two proteins and unlimited toppings. Avocado was only $0.50 extra, which is unheard of. The salmon and seared tuna ahi were both super fresh and the mix of ingredients and combo of soft and crunch was top. 👌

Awesome selection and fair prices. Definitely a casual lunch-type location. Large restroom could be rented out as a studio apartment. Wide selection of fresh ingredients make this a unique spot for a personalized poke bowl!

Agree with other reviewers that this place is fast and tasty. Absolutely LOVE: - Free toppings (some places only let you pick like 3 and are super stingy). Here you can get as much as you want and only pay extra for premium stuff like avocado, which is expected. - Free miso soup dispenser??? I've never seen such a thing, I love it! The one downer that made it 4 instead of 5 stars was the rice. The FOB rice was dry and under-seasoned which was a huge letdown.

<UPDATE> I’ve made order through Uber eats and my order got cancelled two days in a row without any explanation from them. After the second cancellation, I made the “priority” order they picked up the order and delivered right away. If you’re planning to place an order to this place, do it as priority with paying extra money, otherwise they’ll just CANCEL without any explanation. ————————————————————— Hands down one of the best poke place in Seattle! They offer numerous options for protein (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, etc.), base (white rice, brown rice, quinoa with couscous, etc.) and other toppings. Not only they offer plenty of options, they all tasted authentic! I ordered a large poke, but compared to other poke places I’ve been to, their portion was generous. Last but not least, the price was reasonable. And I am more than willing to check there out again.

Simply delicious!! Everything fresh!! Enjoyed! Complimentary Miso !!! Too bad outside is a lot homeless people.

Many fresh toppings to choose from, probably more than needed as we eat a lot of Poke and haven’t had this kind of selection before but it’s nice to have the choice to reach different taste buds. A bit of a sketchy area to get to but once we got there it was good. We were full after for our long drive home as our poke tasted great. No stomach issues either which on the back of mind with raw fish.

YUMMY! A large portion for its price. I always get the large option that comes with three proteins. Their salmon and tuna are so fresh, and you can have a lot of toppings that perfectly complement the proteins. Do not hesitate to ask for more of the side dishes (except the proteins ;)), the staff would have no problem giving it more. Best poke bowl place I've ever been to.

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.

I came here after visiting the Amazon Spheres. It's a short walk. I was surprised by the affordable prices compared to back home. I ordered the 3 scoop for 17.99 and chose yellowtail, salmon, and izumadai. Izumadai is not on any menus at Poke restaurants in Texas, but it is basically just a fresh water tilapia. After ordering your base, protein, amd sauce, there are still many toppings to add to your bowl. As far as drinks, they are mostly canned and bottled beverages, no soda fountain. After ordering, they have a machine to dispense hot miso soup; however, it wasn't working during my visit. Overall, my bowl was filling, fresh, and tasty. What more can you ask for? I guess that is why they have 3 locations.

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!

It's very easy to get overstimulated in Seattle - a town with so many options for food. I decided to walk outside of the tourist area to this poke place woth good reviews. I thought I was walking towards the location with the contemporary setting and I ended up at the neighborhood joint that reminded me of a deli. I ordered my regular bowl with seared tuna, fob sauce and creamy lime dressing. I went pretty basic with my toppings, although, I wish I had added some extra cukes. It was delightful and fresh. Friendly service and plenty of seating was available.

This is a great place for a fast casual meal! We stopped by before a show at the Crocodile and it was perfect. Food was delicious. Build-your-own was set up like Chipotle. I'd definitely recommend reading through the toppings to figure out what you want first because they try to get you through the line quickly. There's a cooler with juices and sodas at the front.

Came during a weekday and they were doing some kind of sushi bar, pay by weight lunch special. It was actually a pretty good deal even if it was sushi instead of poke. They had a decent variety and I was able to fill a tray and eat a bunch of different sushi for about $10. The servers were constantly restocking and were able to answer questions. The ambiance felt very busy and more geared for take out as there's not too many spots to eat in.

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.

I really enjoyed my build-your-own bowl from here! I ordered the 3 protein and got Sear ahi tuna, shrimp and spicy tuna mash. Loaded it up with other toppings and sauce. It was delicious and convenient. The staff had it all set for me when I got there and they had cutlery and soy sauce off to the side, which I needed since I was going back to a hotel. Easy, Fast and Delicious. What's not to love!?! There did look to be plenty of seating, but I went on to grab a boba on my way back to my hotel

Huge portions and delicious food! Seriously, this place is such a great value for what you pay. I got the medium bowl and still couldn't finish. The meat is tender and they load it up with plenty of fresh veggies and whatever other ingredients you request.

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.

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.

I went here and got to go with my sister. We built our own bowls; a large for me and regular for her. Interestingly, they came in the same size bowl, and both were packed full. Just by glancing at them, you wouldn't know which was the large and which was the regular. For my proteins, I did the salmon, scallop, and spam. The salmon and scallop both tasted nice and fresh. The spam was cubed up from the can with no seasoning and not fried. It was very off-putting, and I ended up taking it out of my bowl. Overall, it was an okay poke bowl, but I don't think I'd go back.

Great value with fresh/healthy options and large portions. You get unlimited toppings which really gives you a lot of options for customization. It's 13.99 for 2 scoops of protein with cooked protein options as well. Service is really fast and straight forward as you just go through the bar and pay at the end. It does seem like they have a lot of online orders which they go through in between the walk in customers. Trust the other reviews and definitely check this place out.

The poke bowl was fresh and delicious and portion sizes were very large. Pretty cool atmosphere and a clean environment. Service was great and very welcoming!

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.

UNLIMITED toppings poke bar!!! You can choose any of the toppings you want and add as much sauce as you want as well. I love seaweed salad in my bowl so I made sure to get plenty of that. The fish is pretty good! I recommend getting their FOB rice it's infused with coconut and green tea! It's jasmine rice. SO SO good. Cost-wise, I think it's quite affordable when you look at it for its value. The staff were very friendly as well.

Poke, fresh and simple with good portion sizes and friendly service. And complimentary miso soup! I had the large and I'm very satisfied.

They have really great poke bowls here. I think the fish here is super good, but also love to throw a little of the cook steak in as well. The house rice is also to die for, I like to blend it with half greens. I really like ordering this for to-go versus eating inside. It's more of an in and out place where you order at the counter. Online ordering suits me the most because they move sooo fast and I'm indecisive so it stressed me out a little. I prefer ordering the large bowl and splitting it with my boyfriend versus 2 small bowls, it's a little more cost effective if you like the same things.

I feel like I'm not super qualified to review poke places since I don't like raw fish but even I know there's something special about fob. First: great options: there's so much you can put in your poke bowl both authentic or inauthentic to make it however you want to make it taste. I personally appreciate this since I don't want raw fish as my protein but rather LOVE having the octopus and scallop. Proteins aside there's SO much you can throw in and on top of your bowl which brings me to - Second: the portion size is huge. I was able to make 3 entire meals out of my bowl and never got tired of it since I stuffed it full of so much different stuff that every bite was still such a great mix of so many different ingredients.

Maybe the most affordable poke in Seattle. Poke is really fresh and there are lots of toppings that you can choose. Been there two times and absolutely enjoyed it both times. Note this is not Hawaiian style poke, it's more like California poke. The lines also moves fast. Only issue is that the location isn't great. I saw couple needles on the street one block this location.

My husband and I ordered a poke bowl through Uber Eats at our hotel during our vacation in Seattle. We build our own bowl with three protein and we enjoyed it. The portion was huge and the quality of the ingredients was very good. Very satisfied of everything. Service was also super fast. Sorry I forgot to take a photo.

A "Build your own" bowl structure, a nice quick option for those looking for a yummy bite in a rush. Give your order as you go down the line and watch your bowl stack taller and taller. Food: Choose a size, Regular ($13,99 total for 2 scoops of protein) or Large ($16.99 total for 3 scoops of protein), or no protein, then choose your base, sauce, protein, and topping(s). You can choose as many toppings as you want. Hidden under my mountain of toppings are a scoop of salmon and ahi tuna. The quality of the fish is decent, nothing spectacular. Overall I was pleased with everything, and ended up having leftovers even though I only ordered a regular size. It felt like a nice healthy option. Service is quick, pay at the end of the ordering line. I would return.

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!

We had FOB delivered to our hotel via Uber Eats and we were shocked at how fast the order came and everything was correct! FOB doesn't skimp on their abundance of topping that they offer. The toppings and add ins were tasty and the fish was fresh. My only gripe was that the flavor was lacking- I picked the FOB sauce and cilantro vinaigrette and it didn't do the job. Otherwise, I'd be happy to try this place again with some better sauce options!

At FOB, the fish really does seem like it's fresh off the boat. The bowls are good size as well. I particularly like the FOB rice. There's plenty of protein choices but my favorites are the ahi tuna, salmon, and seared ahi tuna. I've had the grilled chicken, which is good if you don't like fish. The toppings are fresh and good. I think the mango, edamame, and corn are the best. You also can get crabmeat and spicy crabmeat.

Great poke spot, definitely an easy go-to when I'm craving poke in the area. Quick service with a large range of toppings. They also have some cozy seating indoors if you don't want to take it to go. I usually get the regular sized with salmon. The salmon has always been very fresh every time I've gone there. They are also quite generous with toppings, and I am guaranteed to leave on a full stomach.

This place truly does not skimp on the toppings! The amount of fish was pretty standard but the add-ins were piled on there and there was an abundance of the crabmeat and seaweed salad especially. I was impressed with the number of options they have and other places typically charge for extras like tamago so I was happy they were all free. I would've loved to give this place a 5/5 since my pickup order was also ready within 5 min but I think the flavor was a little bit lacking. I got the mango sauce and cilantro sauce but really didn't taste them. I think the flavor of my bowl was predominantly of seaweed salad, which isn't bad, but I would've liked more prominent flavors as well. The infused rice also just tasted like regular white rice, although it may have gotten masked by the other ingredients.

Best poke in town!! This is my go-to poke place - the fish is always super fresh, dash service, TONS of topping options (way more than I've ever seen before) and reasonably priced. There's a few different locations but I've only ever been to the Belltown one. The regular-sized bowl comes with 2 fish options, and large comes with three. I like to do half FOB rice, half spinach as the base, and go from there so it's a little like a salad with lots of veggies!!

This poke spot SLAPS. Honestly we weren't expecting much. My husband and his 2 younger brothers love poke, and I am generally picky, so standards be high. Visually, it didn't seem different from your average build-your-own poke joint...but bruh, their sauces are perfection. Trust that this place will not disappoint. We all agreed that this was one of the best poke we've had.

I would consider this the OG Poke spot in Seattle. All ingredients are original, simple, similar to Hawaii, nothing over complicated like many new trendy poke spots. The vibe is similar to the mom and pop poke shops you'll find in Hawaii. The line is almost always out the door at lunch rush, but they power through and get out checked out pretty quick.

Phenomenal! Was in Seattle for work and our company was providing food that was less than good. So, 3 different times that week I used Uber Eats and ordered from FOB Poke. It's GREAT!!!

This Poke Bar in Belltown was really good!!! I was at the Seattle Center and this was one of the closer poke places around. When I got there, I realized that it was Hawaiian poke, so I had a feeling it would be good. All the ingredients were fresh. I went with a salmon bowl with a salad base. They were generous with the ginger and the seaweed, and the service was quick. This poke bowl was very flavorful and hit the spot. I lucked up with a parking spot right in front, so I decided to eat there. As I was finishing, the place started to fill up with people, seems like I made a good choice!!

What a great idea. We both had the regular 'two protein' bowls. $16.99/ea. Portions are huge! Very tasty, fresh, fish & veggies on top of your choice of rice or quinoa/couscous. There were so many fun add on ingredients (all part of the price) to choose from - it was hard so I chose the 'everything' selection :-) Absolutely delicious and filling. We walked down to the water and enjoyed our meal by the Sound. Oh, friendly, helpful staff.

Fresh off the bar. Build your own style poke bowl. Solid joint. I got a large bowl with tuna, salmon, and seared tuna. All three fish were high quality specimens from the sea. The extra toppings, sauce, rice, and everything else was good mix that complemented the fish. Overall, it was a solid spot that was glorious to enjoy. The only hindrance to this spot was the interior design. The aesthetics inside was a bit plain, meaning it was a good grab and go kind of spot. A little extra decor could help bring the vibe up. Most definitely recommend going to this place.

This poke smacks. Overall great experience. The food was incredible. I loved how you could Mix and match what you wanted to get a custom order. I loved having a half salad / half rice base. Can't wait to return! Quick service, clean restaurant. Added bonus is feeling safe overall walking home with the goods. Pro tip: order a large and then have half of it for lunch the next day!

I got robbed! I ordered recently off of doordash. A large 3 protein bowl with beef and salmon, it was lunch time after a busy morning and i was so hungry. I get my order and they sent me a small with almost nothing in the bowl, it was expensive too about 20 dollars. This is the 2nd time these folks have messed up my order, I used to be a a regular customer but after the 2 mess ups i won't be coming back.

Some of the best poke I've ever had anywhere. Just incredible quality, incredible freshness. Staff were very nice, there is free water which is a great touch, and a massive variety of toppings for your poke bowl. Sitting in the restaurant is also nice for a quick lunch. 100% recommend.

We went out of our way to get poke here because of the great reviews but it was disappointing. We liked that they had a variety of toppings, sauces, and protein to choose from. The fish wasn't super fresh but it was okay. Overall, it was an okay poke place, that's it. Street parking and it's hard to find.

YUMMY! A large portion for its price. I always get the large option that comes with three proteins. Their salmon and tuna are so fresh, and you can have a lot of toppings that perfectly complement the proteins. Do not hesitate to ask for more of the side dishes (except the proteins ;)), the staff would have no problem giving it more. There's also a free miso soup that compliments the bowl really well. Best poke bowl place I've ever been to. Definitely will come back!

Visiting the city of Seattle and didn't know what to eat. Saw this poke place as a top option near the Pike place market, so we decided to try it. This is hands down the best poke I have had. They have amazing toppings that I haven't seen in other poke places. There fish is super fresh and sauces were delicious. If you want some quality food for a great price, check this place out!

I found this place based on the reviews and so far they didn't disappoint. Great options to choose from for you own poke. Liked the fresh fish, especially seared tuna. Everything was tasty, we will keep this place in our list to return here again.

Like the poke bowl! Healthy and delicious. Also possible to choose all my favourite ingredients

Fob poke bar has been a restaurant I've visited many many times, and has become somewhat of a staple for me. The most notable thing that really sets fob poke bar apart from the competition is their rice. They serve a "FOB" rice, which is really just green tea rice. Every time I come here I look forwards to it, which is packed with flavor, giving it an edge over boring normal rice :P Another thing that has had me coming back are the free Toppings. At most places I've been to, crab salad and seaweed salad cost extra, but I am pleased to say that they are free here! Nothing better than free. Overall, FOB poke bar is probably one of my top go to places to eat out around Belltown. It's fast, reasonably priced for the huge sizes, and is tasty!

Hands down my favorite poke spot! I need my fix probably at least once a week! I have some friends who are fans of "just fish and rice" but my other half of friends including myself - LOVE ALL THE TOPPINGS to choose from. I'm a huge believer of "get the most for your money" so I choose my protein options and pack in all the toppings that I enjoy to make the most of it! I usually get salmon and scallop (sometimes switch it up with spicy tuna, tako/octopus). Each time, the proteins have always been super fresh! My husband asked me why I like FOB poke the best compared to anywhere else and aside from the toppings, the zesty mango sauce is what puts me over! I'm absolutely obsessed with anything and everything to do with mangos! So you betcha I'm going to order the mango! Also, the tamago yaki (: I love tamago! I always save it for the last bite, almost like dessert! The edamame and roasted corn.... UGGG!! So good! I just had one yesterday but while writing this review, I want another one now!! I used to order in person for takeout when I first discovered FOB poke but I just dread the parking usually so I've been ordering through Doordash, but the customer service has always been friendly in person! Overall, I've been definitely telling everyone about FOB poke to the point my friends already know how obsessed I am!

I came during lunch and the place was busy! They were processing so many orders and had 5 people working together like a true assembly line. Regardless, they move fast and ordering is quick. I got a regular which comes with two scoops of protein. I got the seared ahi tuna and salmon along with the recommended fob rice (which has hints to coconut). Overall this place offers good value, fresh poke, and super quick service. You can add as many toppings as you like, and this can really lead the bowl to become overfilled. No complaints, however - I'd come again!

Good poke on the go! A friend and I visited on a Tuesday for lunch at around 12:30 and the line was long. We thankfully came in with only 5 people including us in line because minutes later people started piling in and the line looped around the inside of the store. The line goes significantly fast though, so the approximate max wait time, depending on how many people are in front of you, is about 1 minutes per person. So for us, it was about a 5 minute wait. I ordered a regular poke (2 scoops) with FOB rice as my base (white rice with a bit of seaweed bits on top), jalapeños as my mix in (adds a good kick), salmon and scallops as my protein (scallops were a bit raw, no char. Salmon wasnt dry), and wasabi aioli (a bitter mix to coat the jalapeños a bit). It was so filling, i had to take the rest of it home. Staff was working quick to get everyone out as soon as possible. Appreciate them for getting tbe long line out without being rude to their customers. Tables will be available despite how long the line is. Most people leave to eat someplace else than dine in and stay. Overall, i will come back here again. Probably one of the better pokes i have had in a while.

I ordered one dish with my friend because we were full. I really wanted to eat salmon because I heard salmon is very famous in Seattle. So I tried double salmon protein and I was really good. but I couldn't feel any special taste about salmon. Just great.

Great poke place near Belltown area! We did the build your own poke bowls and the portions were big (split it into 2 meals) and good value for the price! Compared to other poke places in the Seattle/Eastside area, I thought they had more toppings and variety! My bowl was delicious and I'll be coming back whenever I'm craving poke in the area. Service was also great and the line moved fast! There are also tables inside you can eat at

Love this spot. They're super stingy with the scoops of meat - it's always half a scoop but whatever they load it with other stuff. It's located in the worst part of town so beware, but service is quick so do 3 minute loading and run in to pick up. Everything tastes very fresh.

Pretty decent poke. Pricing is decent and a two scoop is pretty filling. I got the tuna and salmon and they were both pretty fresh and good. They have a bunch of toppings so I kind of got everything I wanted and it all mixed pretty well. The bowl also stores pretty well overnight and tasted pretty similar the next morning.
