HI LIFE

The 8 Best Poke Spots In Seattle

"This renovated gas station on Bainbridge Island serves raw fish that is well worth a ferry ride, WSDOT fare, and day of PTO. The ahi tuna is steeped in nutty sesame oil and packed with a rainbow of toppings like snappy seaweed salad and crunchy pickles that add a serious tang. A loaded bowl makes a particularly great lunch and is best paired with their excellent soft serve topped with matcha syrup or Suntory Toki whiskey caramel. Plus, Hi Life offers gluten-free versions of all their poke, so no one has to miss out. " - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"To do it all during a day trip to Bainbridge, you’ll need a detailed itinerary and a type-A friend to enforce it. But this poke bar located at a former gas station is where to hand that friend a highball and slow down. With stellar miso black cod, tuna poke in a thick sesame sauce, and Suntory Toki whiskey caramel-topped soft serve, it's all worth going a little rogue on your tight schedule." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Makoto Kimoto, owner of Rondo and Tamari Bar, opened Hi Life on Bainbridge island earlier this year, bringing bento boxes, poke bowls, and Suntory whiskey highballs all close to the ferry terminal. Enjoy a grab and go option like salmon sashimi or wasabi-marinated octopus while you wait for the next ferry." - Megan Hill, Mark Van Streefkerk

First time there and absolutely loved it! So easy to get to right off the ferry. Staff is so friendly, menu options are great with lots of choices including bowls, sashimi, salads and tofu for vegetarian options. Love the fun drinks and snacks options. Plenty of covered outdoor picnic table seating and open air concept. Quality seemed great. Ordered poke bowls including a special of the day. Would definitely go back!

We got clam chowder and Smoked Salmon Bento. The food smelled good and tasted really good. The food cost us like $32. Good food conveniently located near the ferry. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely return.

Fantastic food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Has a Japanese-beach vibe similar to Okinawa. We bought salmon poke bowls, edamame, and Sapporo beer. All amazing! Their ice cream is also delicious. Would love to go back soon!

ADVENTURE ⭐️ QUALITY ⭐️ LOCATION ⭐️ CONSISTENCY So beyond happy to find this little gem on Bainbridge Island, a quick five minute walk off the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. Being the first one off the ferry, there was no line by the time I got there, but the line did increase as I was enjoying my food outside. I advise you to get there early, and then then site-see the rest of the island, especially the Eagle Book Store, after eating. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. Especially Kouze, who was working in front of the house and came outside while I was eating to ensure my order was right and to my liking. Really appreciate her friendliness and personal interaction, especially as the day progressively got busier. I got the very picturesque variety tray for sashimi, which included the most delicious, fresh, tender, and tasty Japanese style seafood ever. I also ordered a bowl of their famous clam chowder, with the spicy ra sauce on top. It was so heavenly I bought a jar of the sauce to take home. Along with a side of white rice, these few options were more than enough for two people to share. The Yuzu hot Toddy or the Gin Moscow Mule were absolutely delicious. 10/10 Can't wait to come back again.

This place is truly something special. Whenever I’m in the area, I stop here. The food is phenomenal. Amazing flavors, textures, and presentation in every poke bowl. Everything tasted fresh.

Best poke I’ve ever had! Hands down! Hi quality tuna and super amazing toppings. My Favorite and most unique is the pickled eggplant!! Amazing staff. Super wonderful family. Indoor and outdoor seating just a walk off the ferry. You can always buy poke by the pound. Don’t miss this stop!

Absolute gem of a local dining establishment. Was worried it might be too kitschy or touristy due to its close proximity to the ferry terminal, but that couldn’t have been more wrong. Staff and overall environment was unique, extremely friendly, and inviting. A unique spot I hope sticks around. I will be back and recommend to others

AMAZING! Never ate Poke. Raw fish isn't my vibe. A friend wanted to go... drove 2 hours to get here. Would definitely go back!
