Just Poke Issaquah

I'm a fan of Just Poke, and it's great to see this business doing well and expanding to other locations throughout the area, including this one in Issaquah where I work at sometimes. So of course when my colleague and I learned that it was International Poke Day, we had to come here for lunch, which was solid. Just Poke in Issaquah is located along Gilman in the shopping complex where REI and Safeway is located. We came here during a weekday for lunch and the place was pretty busy, but the line went by fast, due to the many employees working here. This location had some seating inside, which was spacious enough. As always, I usually build my own bowl and get a large size, which comes with three scoops of protein. Of all the fish, I liked the Hawaiian ahi tuna the best as it was already marinated with the sauce and seasonings. Everything here will be satisfying for any raw fish lover though, and I just love how healthy, fresh and light the poke bowls from Just Poke are. It's great to know there's one in Issaquah where I find myself often.

Really weak on amount of protein you get. Shrimp Tempura add on is one small piece and don't even see the avocado I paid extra for.

Let's face it, this past year has been tough - for sooo many reasons (and way too many to list here). But one of the good things that's happened has been discovering so many wonderful new places for takeout. And one of my faves is Just Poké. In fact, they've pretty much become a weekly habit.First, Just Poké is fresh. I've never had a poke bowl there that didn't taste perfectly fresh. And when you're eating a bowl full of raw fish - well, freshness is pretty important. My fave is the ahi (tuna) and spicy ahi, and my daughter loves their salmon. Next, their selection of toppings, sauces and add-ons is second to none. They're like the Subway of poké! My fave add-ons are the avocado ($1 extra, but it's a generous portion) and the crab salad (no extra charge). I also love their crunchy onion and furikake toppings. And I've never had a sauce there that wasn't delicious.I also need to give a shoutout to their spam musubi...I always order two, because they make a great snack the next day.Recently they also added "torched" (aka seared) options to their menu. I've only tried the torched ahi, but it was quite good. I wish the torched items were available as a regular protein option (along with, say, spicy ahi), but if there's a way to order my bowl with torched as one of my proteins I haven't figured it out yet (at least not using their online ordering).I recently learned this chain in locally-based, which makes me love it even more. Thanks Just Poké for helping me get through 2020 (and beyond) with your delish poké.

We love poke and have tried just about every place we've discovered. Outside of Hawaii, Just Poke is one of our favorites. There's some real variation between one poke place and the next, but Just Poke found the sweet spot for me with the fresh fish and topping options. Some places it seems you pay a lot and get a smaller bowl, but their pricing seems pretty fair. If you like poke or have just been considering giving it a try, this is a good place to start.

Can't go wrong with Just Poke! Friendly staff, great fresh fish and toppings, and a decent value! Most recent visits were togo orders (doordash, and takeout) and really enjoyed it.

Craving for Poke bowls and Acai Bowls while in Washington? Just Poke is the place to go! Several varieties of poke available. For the base you can pick white or brown rice as well as salad amongst the many options and toppings galore at no additional cost! Love the spicy crab topping! Their Acai bowls are almost as good as ones found back in Hawaii. We had the OG bowl. I think if they added some other tropical fruit like mango and some drizzle of honey it would be just like the ones I'm used to eating back home in Hawaii. Spam Musubis also available if you are craving those too! The store is tastefully decorated. I would have loved to be able to savor my bowls inside amongst the cute and whimsical decor if not for COVID-19 restrictions.

I can't believe I haven't visited this place sooner. That have very yummy vegan options. Everything is fresh, flavorful and healthy for you. The restaurant itself is very clean and just has this good aura about it. Staff are very nice too. I'll be back soon!

I've passed it multiple times whenever I went to REI or BECU and I finally went to this place for a quick meal.I was greeted as I walked in. I decided on the eel bowl with white rice.It was seasoned well and cooked well keeping it moist and tender.I don't think this restaurant will be in business too long since I was the only one in the restaurant at 6:00 on a Thursday night. Two orders to go were processed during my hour in the place.Here's some negatives about the place:The staff is nice, however they tend to talk really fast. Granted they know the menu and ingredients well, but they need to make sure the customer can understand them.Also, if they are going to use Japanese words, management needs to teach them the correct pronunciation. There were three workers in the restaurant. Two were busy taking care of me and the take out orders. A third worker just kind of hung out by the soup warmer, not doing anything. The chairs were made of metal and was extremely noise whenever I moved it. Wood chairs are just as durable and quieter.Overall it was a decent meal, but not exceptional. Would I eat there again? Yes, but mainly to see if the service level and the food is the same as my first visit.

The service at Just Poke is always great. They have a friendly staff and the food is awesome! I love that they have so many choices salmon, tuna, shrimp, etc. My favorite is the shrimp tempura! The restaurant is welcoming and cozy and they play great music.

Definitely my favorite. Very fresh fish and great options to add in. I stop by every chance I get. Price point seems right for high quality fish and amount of food you get.
