SeaSweets Poke

We stopped off at SeaSweets on a recent trip to Portland and hands down, they make the best poke bowls I've ever had. I am not easily impressed when it comes to seafood bowls, but SeaSweets has a very pleasant staff serving really high quality fish, delicious sauces, and fresh toppings for days. Absolutely phenomenal.

Wow, great poke! Decided to try this place when my go-to spot was closed. Ordered takeout and the servings were super big - I got a Large and it lasted almost 3 meals. I added in a bunch of sides and they were all delicious. The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that the spicy tuna was minced - my bad for not catching that detail, but I wasn't crazy about the texture. Gotta have those fat cubes!!

My husband and I love this poke shop! Great selections for seafood, and lots and lots of delicious toppings! Also their housemade lemonade is perfection! I recommend the Spicy Ahi Tuna with rice, crab salad, pickled ginger, crunchy onions and spicy mayo 😋 I always leave filled and satisfied!! A must visit in Portland!

I order from doordash regularly, and I absolutely love their food. Great portions, amazing flavor and lots of ways to make the dish. However my last say about 5 orders or so (over the course of 9 or so mo), I have never received utensils as requested. Not a huge deal, but definitely annoying.

This was everything I wanted in a lunch. A healthy option for on the go. Amazing poke bowl. I will absolutely be back.

One of my all time favorite places to have a delicious lunch! Their selection of seafood is great, and was surprisingly super fresh tasting! Will definitely come again.

The staff was sweet. The poke was overpriced and it gave us food poisoning. I paid $60 for two bowls for my partner and I. I imagine our medical bills will add to just how much that poke bowl was not worth it.

This place is so good, been here a few times for lunch and never had a bad experience. My dad and I both love Poke and go out of our way to get it here. Fish tastes fresh, great selection of toppings and customizations, and they sell top notch ginger beer if you're into that.

Our poke bowl was fresh & all topping and sauce were amazing, reminds me of being in Hawaii. Their coconut Thai milk tea is the best! Must order this. Customer service was great too, the girls at the counter were very helpful.

Great little spot for some really good poke! A regular size is plenty for one person and you'll probably have some leftover. The ladies working there were super helpful with recommendation during my first visit. I got a base with half kale salad and half rice and went on to get both types of salmon for my base- which were amazing by the way. I proceeded to add all the toppings and created the yummiest bowl! Note: their chili oil packs a punch so tread lightly!

Think Chipotle, but for poke bowls! Super customizable poke bowls, I went with 50/50 salad and white rice, with their Garlic Salmon, and all of my favorite toppings (edamame, seaweed salad, etc.). I had been craving a poke bowl for so long, and this hit the spot! Solid portion sizes- I probably could've split my bowl between two meals! Service is nice and fast due to the bowl being scooped and prepped right in front of you! They have indoor and outdoor seating which is a plus during the summer time! Nice big windows for plenty of natural light, and a variety of table sizes for seating!

Usually when I come in the portions are great. Today specifically when I went, they were lacking in portion size. I'm paying $18.95, I'd hope I'm getting a potion the if worth the price. I was disappointed coming back here even though this is my go to poke spot in Portland. My friend got the regular bowl which was also lacking in portion size. Everything was good but this is the first time it's happened to me. In my bowl, I usually get the salmon poke & the ahi tuna (half&half), crab salad, corn, spicy mayo, masago, ginger, furikake, nori, and fried onion. I enjoy the clean environment coming in and how organized everything is. I'll be coming back, but hopefully their portion size increases for the amount they are charging.

Best poke bowl I've had in pdx. Great choices, plentiful, super flavorful. Will go again!

Buyer beware! Spicy here means really spicy. I ordered a spicy tuna bowl (my usual go to with spicy Mayo on top) and it came with actual sliced red chilis. I have a pretty decent spice tolerance but could hardly eat a few bites without dying of spice. So disappointing! I wish there had been a PSA note or ability to choose lesser spice when I got the bowl. The prefixed bowl was $13.50 with one meat and a prefixed topping. Mine came with seaweed salad and imitation crab. I wish there had been more options to add in things like edamame as well.

Great portions, fish is always fresh, and I love the seasoning of the toppings. The price is also very reasonable. This is one of my go-to spots.

So fragrant! This is unique and exciting Poké. The side toppings were fantastic! Everything is super fresh and delicious. Lots of toppings and well balanced flavors. Great gluten-free & dairy-free options. I got mine delivered so I'm not sure on parking.

Very mediocre. I got the salmon truffle bowl. The staff wasn't the most welcoming, but not rude either. The rice was a tad mushy, even with an extra portion of fish the serving seemed small. The fish was also very bland compared to other poke spots. I won't be back and I can't recommend it.

Really like this poke place! I've been a few times over the past years and have always had a good experience. Fish tastes fresh and flavorful. Most of all, I love how each of their fish options are seasoned differently. The shoyu ahi, for example has scallion, ponzu, yuzu, and sweet onion while the truffle salmon is seasoned with things like cilantro, yuzu, and Serrano pepper. I recently ordered 1 scoop of each in a bowl with half kale, half brown rice, edamame, seaweed salad, and various toppings and sauces. Delicious and pretty good portion sizes too!

This is my first order with them, I look forward to many more. I had truffle salmon (yum!) with edamame (yum!!) and seaweed salad (perfectly yum). Next time I will do half rice and half kale, this time only brown rice which was v. good, but I love me some kale and now I know you can go halvsies. Ingredients were fresh and flavoricious. Overall satisfying and superyum:)

Super tasty ahi poke bowls, quick delivery and delicious sauces. Can't wait to try them at the restaurant next!

This place is all right. If you're looking for more of a traditional Hawaiian poke bowl you'll probably be disappointed as the poke was the worst part of the bowl. The sides and rice on the other hand were great. I thought the tofu was really delicious, although it was $2 extra for the tofu. The other adds were also very tasty. The poke, on the other hand, was the most paltry part of the bowl. The portion felt small and the fish wasn't great. I had the shoyu ahi and it felt bland and under seasoned. I was on the fence between a 3-4 but since I'm here for the poke, a 3 it was.

Best poke in PDX. Fresh & delicious always! The staff is wonderful and it's always nice to come back!

I like their tofu bowls a lot, the toppings and sauces they use are fresh tasting and work cohesively with the rice and tofu. I wish their chili oil were spicier though. The Thai tea can totally be skipped though.

The post poke I have ever had, I'm going to need to go at least a dozen more times. We were on a road trip, so I'm going to be creative and make it happen

Average poke spot. Nothing special but tasty all the same. I thought their prices were slightly above average for poke. You get one scoop of protein with a regular bowl whereas other places give you at least two scoops for around the same price. I tried the salmon with seaweed salad (no extra charge) and edamame, drizzled with miso sauce and topped with furikake all over white rice. Their rice is pretty good and I would consider myself close to a rice snob. Everything in my poke bowl was delicious and I would come back to try other combinations. I appreciated their sustainable bowls. They looked compostable. They have plastic cups with no straws but it's not like restaurants have many options to choose from for truly sustainable to go containers. Some outdoor seating along the side of the building and spaced a healthy distance away from each other. Nothing special but a great option for poke. I would come back.

One of my family's favorite Friday night dinners! So delicious, always fresh, the kids that work there are so nice and the points system is great. Definitely recommend!

The presentation of my tofu bowl was very disappointing. I was definitely surprised that it came in a mess along with missing my bean sprouts. However, I really enjoyed the flavors. Lots of sweet, sour, and savory bites. It was delicious, refreshing, and guilt-free to eat!

If I could give this a 0 I would. I used to LOVE this place, now I am thoroughly disgusted & completely enraged. It's probably good that I took my order to go, i would've lost my mind in the restaurant if I would've dined in.

This is the BEST poke in PDX. I came to PDX from Hawaii in 2018 and was grossly disappointed by the poke here. I had stopped looking. This place is SO GOOD. just perfect. Food good, portions good, and staff is so friendly and nice.

The biggest takeaway from this place and why I don't think it can be replicated, is because each individual item is heavily seasoned. I feel like I could nix the spicy tuna (but I NEVER would) as my protein and still be completely satisfied with just a mix of all of their sides. My fave side is the seaweed salad but the texture isn't for everyone. It has a sweetness that I think balances the rest of the poke super nicely. I also appreciate the option to get 1/2 rice 1/2 kale salad cause health. My second fave is the crunchy fried onion. Who would have though that this would be so perfect and a damn necessity. The remaining sides are all incredible and add such flavor and texture: Kimchee Corn, Li-Hing Cabbage Slaw, Hijiki Edamame (faveee), Lemon Pepper Krab (fave fave) But-- House Pickled Bean Sprouts (never got and wouldn't get lmao. No hate, just wouldn't waste a side choice on it) Anyways, then you mix the spicy albacore (cont: minced tuna, scallion, sesame oil, shoyu, house fried chili oil, & spicy mayo) in the bowl and you have a perfect blend of sweet, salt, fat, & heat. You also have the option to top it with house fried chili oil which is sooooo bomb but can really make it spicy af 〰I watched a cooking show once and they said in order to convince people to eat raw fish in poke, they needed to make it taste good. And damn did sea sweets succeed〰

Was craving poke for lunch and saw how popular their truffle salmon is. Really flavorful and perfect size portion. I got mine with the Spicy mayo sauce and added more sriracha.

I'd say this was a 2.5 star meal to be precise. Ordered the Salmon Poke Bowl on a bed of Kale Salad with Hijiki Edamame, Kimchi Corn, Egg, and Crab Salad. I appreciate the unique add-ons that they offer and the bowl did look very delicious! I was very excited to see big chunks of fresh salmon. Unfortunately, the look was deceiving...All the elements tasted off. They were either bland or too salty; there was no balance. The Salmon poke itself didn't stand out and none of the components came together. I'd say that I enjoyed the egg the most out of everything. My search for a good Poke spot in Portland continues.

I had a craving and it was late....so I ordered a massive bowl of poke - three scoops of fish (truffle salmon and shoyu ahi tuna), two sides (seaweed salad and lemon pepper krab (yes krab)), many toppings. It was super tasty. I forgot to ask for chopsticks but that's fine. I ordered a lemonade, too, which tasted more like fountain fruit punch mixed w a little lemonade (I wouldn't order again). The fish was all yummy and fresh (I always worry about a near-closing order), the salads were great, sides too..maybe too much fried onion and jalapenos (I swear I didn't click the latter but I just picked them out). Would definitely order the bowl again. Nice amount of fish.

My favorite poke spot in PDX hands down! My partner and I always come here when we want something easy and love the topping choices like krab salad, chili oil and wasabi Mayo. I like the new garlic salmon poke and the staff is always really friendly!

Some of the best poke I've had in a long time. Ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture. Would recommend this to any poke lover.

This was not poke. The rice was plain, cold white rice. It was not sticky rice. I think they forgot the ponzu. Bland, flavorless, cold, white rice. We ordered off GrubHub (where I dont think it says no subs or exceptions. Could be wrong.) and asked for no lime with the shrimp. Instead of canceling the item from the order or contacting us to ask what to do, they just replaced the shrimp with salmon and left a note in the bag. A great attempt to be thoughtful and avoid an allergy, but the wrong decision. They were quick, it was busy, but I'll never be going back here. I made my own sauces and doctored it when I got home. The friend who got the shrimp and received salmon left their bowl with me and we went to a different restaurant to get them food. I just can't get over the rice. Poke is meant to be warm, sticky rice. The ponzu poured over the rice adds flavor. This was some weird, white-washed idea of poke. The app warned to take Covid into consideration before posting a bad review. Covid has nothing to do with this particular situation. The food was bad and the order was changed without checking in.

We tried a regular-sized order of spicy tuna poke (with seaweed salad and hijiki edamame as sides) and a large order of salmon poke (with sides of pickled bean sprouts and hijiki edamame). The spicy tuna was minced so fine it was more of a gluey mash, and since it came with sesame oil, shoyu, house fried chili oil, and spicy mayo, the dish was somewhat thick and lumpy. The amount of spicy tuna was less like a topping than it was a small scoop of something placed on the side of the bowl. The salmon poke, which came with cilantro, sweet onion, serrano, yuzu, tobikko, truffle oil, and house ponzu, was better than the spicy tuna. Still, $16 for a large bowl is pricey. Really made us miss Poke Mon. Our take: what you're really getting at SeaSweets is a bowl of rice and two sides with a minimal amount of fish unless you want to pay four more dollars. The shop was crowded with people in line selecting items for their bowls, assembly line style. Our carry-our order was ready when we got there. Fast pick-up service, but not a place we'll frequent.

I tried their tuna poke for take out, and I asked the employee for a bunch of toppings including spicy mayo. I don't know what happened that day, but they put so many layers of spicy mayo, I couldn't enjoy the bowl. Spicy mayo isn't usually very spicy, but it was so much, I couldn't taste anything else. I ate about 1/3 of the bowl before I ended up tossing it. Good ingredients, but disappointing experience this time. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for being kind, and try it again without the spicy mayo.

This is hands down the best poke bowl I have ever had! I got the garlic salmon, shrimp and crab. The toppings were all fresh and flavorful. I wish we had this good of poke in San Diego! The service was very friendly and I can't wait to go back again when I visit Portland.

$20 large (2 scoops) + extra scoop: Pricey? A little bit, yes. But the flavor was INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of the best poke places that I have been to. The fish was very fresh, not fishy at all, and deliciously seasoned. The toppings were also very tasty. Got a side of the cabbage coleslaw, and it was so delicious. A little sweet, and perfectly matched the rest of the bowl. The imitation crab was also pretty good. The house made chili oil was legit and the rest of the sauces were also very delicious. Didn't have the sickening, "confused" flavor that often develops as one finishes a subpar poke bowl. Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be back!

We stopped by for lunch and grabbed two regular size poke bowls. I went for the shoyu tuna poke with white rice, seaweed salad, cabbage salad, sesame dressing, masago and fried onions. My sweetie got pretty much the same combo but went with pickled bean sprouts. Both bowls were super yummy and you got a ton of food. We probably could have split one regular bowl and still been super stoked. The flavors of the poke combined with the side salads are super tasty. The ginger pickled bean sprouts are so yummy with the rice and poke and all the flavors combined like a firework show for your tastebuds. We will definitely be back for lunch soon. Great value for the quality and flavor offered at this establishment

So disappointed that my experience was unlike the rest. I ordered my food and when it arrived, it was missing items. Additionally the poke bowl... ugh. The tuna on there tasted warm and old. It had a fishy smell, which you know your fish shouldn't smell like. The spicy tuna itself is mushy and minced. Not very appetizing. The bowl is mostly rice, small scoop of protein and sides. Way overpriced for that... Over all so sad as I am a huge poke fan but will pass on this.

The fish are all seasoned nicely and they have a good variety of toppings as well. The portion is great and they do not skimp at all! A regular size keeps me full and I always have leftovers. This has been my spot for years! I highly recommend it.

SeaSweets serves high quality customizable poke bowls, highly recommend! We had SeaSweets delivered to us on a Sunday night and it did not disappoint. I really appreciated the staff for following my instructions to put my sauce on the side. You have a choice from so many toppings including nori, Edamame, Kimchi corn, etc. and fish including spicy tuna, salmon, cooked shrimp, etc. I really enjoyed the kale salad, which was light and refreshing. The 1 scoop bowl was plenty for 1 person. Although it is pricey, it is definitely worth it!

I came here when they first opened few years back and I loved it. Then they opened a spot in Beaverton which was a little more convenient so I went there couple times and also loved it! I was in the area (and hungry) so I decided to stop by for a poke bowl. Parking is all street parking so it was a struggle on a rainy day. No biggie. I walked in and was greeted. I ordered the regular bowl which came with one scoop of poke. When I saw the person scoop the poke, I had to think about if I wanted to order a second scoop because it looked a little small. But I decided to just go with the one scoop that comes on the regular. Annnnd good thing I went with that because it was just the right amount of poke to rice ratio! My partner ordered large which was more rice and two scoops of poke and that was the right amount for him as well. They used to use bowl shaped bowls but this time they used the square take out paper containers instead. I hope they bring the bowls back soon!

Delicious poke, please open more locations in the Portland metro area.

Delicious! Ever since I moved back from Hawaii I was looking for a good Poke place and this place is perfect! Will return

I think SeaSweets Poke has the most authentic fish flavor in Portland! It's hard to find decent poke with ingredients like ogo and tamari outside of hawaii, so I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavors of the fish. I do wish they would add more fish than toppings, since the edamame and wakame salad overpowered the overall bowl. I like to keep my poke bowls simple, but I did wish I added some type of sauce since the texture without it was a bit dry, so a tip for next time! Overall I would definitely recommend coming here to try at least once!

The day was hot, and the bellies were grumbling, so when we walked past this place we thought, why not? SO glad we stopped in. The wife and I shared a large poke bowl which came with 4 half scoops of poke, a generous bed of rice and kale salad, and the most delicious toppings. Crunchy onions...yum! It was a huge bowl of food and more than satisfied us both for lunch. I love that you can have them load up on the toppings, and that they patiently and generously allowed us to try all the various flavors of poke before we made our choice. If we lived in Portland, we would eat here often.

The best poke place in Portland. Trust me (I'm from Hawaii), their poke is legit. I love them so much that I successfully converted everyone in my office to The Church of Poke (even the people who don't really like fish!), and now we have "Poke Day" scheduled on our calendars every week. Sea Sweets Poke has several things going for them that make them hard to beat: 1) Great poke. Lots of different flavors, all good. I particularly like their salmon poke, and I LOVE their seasonal steelhead poke. A lot of places seem to think that you can just chop up raw fish, throw it on rice, and call it "poke." No way! It shouldn't be drowning in sauce, but it does need to be seasoned. 2) Lots of free toppings. You have a choice of two sides (all good; I'm partial to the lemon pepper krab salad, seaweed salad, and the hijiki edamame), around 9 toppings (masago, fried onions, furikake, and more), and several sauces (I always go for the wasabi mayo). They have additional paid toppings like the sambal guacamole and sous vide egg. 3) Great kale salad. Seriously, I don't think I ever had good kale before trying the kale salad at Sea Sweets. It's not tough and dry -- I think they must season and massage it or something, because their kale is sweet, soft, but still fresh and springy. Sea Sweets actually inspired me to start making my own kale salads, no joke. Poke on a good kale salad is miles better than other poke places that just toss the fish on mixed greens and call it a day. 4) Good prices and sizes. Their regular poke bowl is $11 (most poke bowls from elsewhere in Portland are around $13-15). The bowls are filling. They don't skimp on the fish, and the many toppings ensure that you won't be hungry after. 5) Quick delivery. If you use food delivery apps like Postmates or Caviar (they're available on pretty much every app), Sea Sweets delivery is fast. Their location is in Hawthorne, and we were able to receive our poke bowls way out east on Division in less than half an hour. Their shop is also clean, bright, and very cute. Thanks Sea Sweets! Keep up the good work! (And bring back the steelhead!)

The last time I had a great and good poke bowl was Chicago! Wow--- this definitely met my expectation and more! Love the unlimited toppings I can get. Staff is great, friendly, and attentive. The salmon was delicious! Great decor and fresh ingredients!

I love poke. Coming from southern California, I've had a bunch of great poke. SeaSweets offers some unique choices, and it tastes amazing! I got the ahi and salmon over a bed of kale salad. Seaweed salad, edamame, masago, pickled ginger, nori, and furikake topped the bowl. It was so good! I love how they don't oversauce the bowl. In fact, I didn't even get any additional sauce other than what the fish was marinated in and I thought the flavors were very well-balanced. Other poke places should take note! Parking around this area is rough, but service in the shop is really friendly. The only reason for the 4-star instead of 5 is because of the price. It might be good for the area, but I still think it's a little much. That being said, I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Portland! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seasweets-poke-portland?select=kwYLleWa2LFQOAaihGiHXQ&userid=97Dj5h5CQUsWZrEWj3wWOg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seasweets-poke-portland?select=ZeIevcohh1SvKc9ArhG3aw&userid=97Dj5h5CQUsWZrEWj3wWOg

My poke bowl (salmon) was on the road to perfection, however, they messed up the sides on my orders (accidentally switched the sides on my two orders). My friend and I ordered two bowls with vastly different tastes and preferences and unfortunately mine came with one of her sides + ginger, and hers came with all her sides + my seaweed and my sauce. My bowl missed out on my crab salad side (I got corn instead) which I am sad about - I did try some of hers and I would recommend it - it is delicious! + 1 for the compostable and eco-friendly bowls that SeaSweets Poke serves in. Also + 1 for the friendly and quick service and bathroom availability during pick-up. ++ 1 for the supportive and inclusive messages posted on their storefront advocating for racial equality and justice.

Okay. I have never left a meh review for a place. Especially for a restaurant that I have really worked at to create a "please get it right this time" situation but here I am, a year later at my wits end. First of all, if you'd be ever been IN Sea Sweets and watched them fulfill a take out order then you probably know to never order take out from this over stressed staff with tiny counter space. It's completely unfair that they have reams of paper, filled with modifications from take out customers, and they're also expected to fill socially distanced customers in front of them as well. I learned my lesson the hard way after ordering take out from Sea Sweets no less than THREE times and getting the wrong order. I'm not talking like they forgot the furikake, I'm talking like I paid for a scoop of salmon and a scoop of tuna and I'm looking at a bowl of tofu. So then I switched my approach. I started to go in person and order take out. Then I got to see a behind the scenes perspective that I almost wish I didn't know. How much food you get depends on who fills your order. It's ridiculous. It has happened before and it's clear that some follow the rules and others don't and kudos to those that don't bc it's clear the "portion rules" are pathetic. But tonight after about 4 months of ordering in person and always being exhausted by the outcome I'm done. This poor person. It was clearly their first day. Probably provided each bowl with a quarter of the food that usually goes in there. I'm not mad bc the scale was right in front of him but no one told him to use it and I just spent $40+tip on a 1/4 bowl of rice and 1/4 a bowl of kale salad with maybe a table spoon of fish? Maybe? Idk I'm not the one with the scale...they are. This isn't against the staff, they're young and clearly few guilty that whoever owns the place allows for the most depressing portions but that creates even more inconsistency in the experience. Will I get a meal that fills me up or will I get a 1/4 cup of kale and a tablespoon of tuna? Will I get the food I ordered online or will a young bebe tell me that they "like, don't get those orders from the website" Who knows! All I know is I don't have time for Sea Sweets anymore.

Bad fish - they mask it by adding spice or jalapeno. There are a ton of better poke places in the area.

This is still my favorite place to get poke whenever I have a craving! I love the salad base with its crunchy texture. I always get half salad/half brown rice for the base, salmon for the poke and kimchi corn and krab salad for my two sides! I love their corn and have yet to see it anywhere else. If you're not sure what kind of poke to get, you can ask for samples! There is outdoor and indoor seating and I have thankfully missed the rush every visit. There are a lot more people working so they are ready for when it gets busy. The pricing has increased a bit since their first opening but you can't really blame inflation costs. Portions are still about the same, I definitely leave full and satisfied!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: PEOPLE, This is the subway of Poké. Great price point and super tasty! - You can do half / half of rice and kale salad - Half / Half of two different pokes At $10 to fully load your bowl and with the option to split your poke choice (you can get half of each poke), at NO ADDITIONAL COST IS A KILLER DEAL! It's almost criminal and I feel a slight tinge of gluttony guilt as I tell the employee to just scoop me one of everything. All the poke options were super fresh and well seasoned. The crab salad and seaweed salad compliment everything else. - Kimchi corn is a must - Wasabi mayo is delicious I think I've found my new place for quick, clean, and lazy eats! The place is spacious and well lit, super clean, this is how poke should be done.

I'd eat this poke every day if that were a financial possibility. They'll give you a half and half base if you ask which is lovely. They have a small army of regular sides and just as many crunchy bits and sauce options. It's just really nice and really portable. Their prices have gone up a bit, but whose haven't? I appreciate that it's still under $30 for 2 which is getting harder to facilitate now.
