Big Island Poke

Yassssss this is some good poke! Big hand-cut chunks of ahi in their Hawaiian sauce had me gobbling down my bowl. I added some extra spicy krab and seaweed salad. The krab was ok but the seaweed salad was delicious. I will probably get double the seaweed next time. The brown rice was perfectly cooked as well I was the only in-store customer at the time but Doordash orders were flying out the door. Employee was super helpful and very easygoing. Made me feel very welcome. They don't have as many crazy toppings as the chain stores but the poke is so dang good that they don't need all that stuff. Definitely worth a stop.The only reason I talk to them a point was because the poke gave me explosive diarrhea! X/

Y'all this poke is so tasty! While it's more on the expensive side, this one is worth it. You have to pay additional for sides but the quality of the fish is fresh and you get good chunks! When I was there they had just chopped onions so my eyes were crying lol!! But it just showed how fresh the sides were too! The person who was making my bowl was friendly and she was not stingy with the portions. They had some good music playing and a constant flow of customers, even with the construction going on outside.

Stopped by this place at around 2pm on a Saturday. The place is quiet and the parking lot looks kinda empty, but it was in fact open! The girls serving us were very kind to explain their system and serving sizes. I got a bowl which includes one very generous sized scoop of fish. You are able to get half scoops in order to maximize the flavors for your bowl. I would say that one half scoop is comparable to other full sized scoops at chain poke restaurants in the Seattle area. They do charge $1 extra for sides. My bowl came out to be about $18. I got white rice, half salmon, half spicy ahi, crab salad, seaweed salad, and spicy aioli. The fish is pre-marinated, Hawaiian style. The flavor was good, not too salty or spicy, but the fish could be a bit fresher. There are not too many toppings so the fish is the main focus. Overall, still a nice local spot to grab poke in Renton!

I was very excited to try this place because people were raving about it. We got the birria noodles, sushi fries, spicy tuna and the pink passion fruit drink. ( I think that's what it's called ) The birria noodles had ZERO flavor. I asked the girl about the broth and she said next time she'll add extra chicken bouillon in it lmao. Yeah no. The drink was extremely sweet we could not drink it. Spicy tuna was a hit. If you don't like spicy don't get it. The fries were okay a little on the dry side but not bad. We came back just for the fries and requested if they could add more sauce on the fries before the crabmeat. The guy did not add the sauce. Not sure if he didn't hear us or what lol Definitely don't recommend. This place is very pricey. You can get better food for cheaper somewhere else.

New city, new state, gotta find new spots. So we're here Big Island Poke, gave them a shot and it was good. The quality of poke (fish) was very clean and tasty. Only issue that I was use to back in SoCal is that the sides are included, here some of the sides are a dollar per side. Overall the poke was good and I would come back. Also had to wash it all down with a POG drink

Week 20/52 in my endeavor to try one new (to me) local spot per week! I'm one of those people who is ALWAYS craving sushi and or poké. I could eat either (or both) every single day. I've had Big Island in my bookmarks forever, and when I was visiting my mom nearby, I decided a lunch stop was essential! For as small as this place is, they've got a nice big parking lot. There's one or two tables outdoor for dining, and a couple spots inside, but it's really not meant for you to sit and linger. Eat and go, or eat in your car! I went with the Spicy Ahi Tuna special - tuna, masago, chili oil, sriracha garlic aioli, and green onions. I also added avocado and crab. The additions made my lunch a little spendy, but it was worth it.Everything about this bowl was delicious! Great flavor, and each ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. I love spicy poké bowls, and the Spicy Ahi Tuna was exactly what I had been craving. Great spot for lunch in the Renton area!

I love Big Island Poke! The food is so tasty. the poke is great quality and this family owned business is such a local favorite. I love the owners and appreciate their strong work ethic and kind hearts. the service is always immaculate and the vibe they bring is definitely ohana.

Not an easy location to get into, especially with all the construction going on in the area.I thought it was over priced for what you got. I got the plate with ahi and kimchi tako. The ahi had no flavor. I ended up not eating the kimchi tako because it tasted like someone dumped bag of salt in it as well as having this funky taste like it was going bad. I got the spicy cucumber and the plain cucumber. The spicy cucumber was not spicy at all but really vinegary and the plain cucumber was really bitter and not edible. And I can't believe they charged me a $1 for a small bite of the seaweed salad.There are so many other Poke places that I feel are much better and will be going there instead.

I wanted to take time out of my day to say how great this restaurant is. I've been coming here for years, and I've tried poké spots all over the country, including Hawaii, and this is some of the best poke bowls I've ever had. The proportions are generous, and the poke is fresh and amazing. I live 45 mins south and will go out of my way to stop by! Please open another location south in puyallup/tacoma!!

I love coming here. Their food is always tasty. The servers are always nice to me and the atmosphere is welcoming and clean. It's notClose to where I live so whenever I'm in that area I try to stop by. I have not had a bad experience with them yet so I highly recommend.
