Poke Cafe

I came to try their Bahn mi and Bubble tea today with my son. Super cute new location! I had tried their bubble tea at their last location near Target and always loved it. We happened to be nearby after a haircut and we were both craving a Bahn mi and knew this spot usually has them and thought we would see their new location. The owner is a total sweetheart! She went out of her way to welcome us and treat us with Amazing Service! The sandwiches were very fresh delicious and really filling. The tea is perfect not overly sweet but still Very flavorful. Many other flavor options available. We got the Taro milk tea an8d Honeydew smoothie. Definitely will be back to try other menu items!! We love this place!

I thought the service here was great but I have had better poke before. I think the portions are great sizes but I wished I liked their sauces more. I haven't tried anything else though.

SIX STAR REVIEW IF I COULD, THE FOOD HERE IS INCREDIBLEI absolutely adore the available selections on their menu-- all the options are displayed on a screen on the wall, and you get to watch and direct the creation of your meal, Subway-style.Everything I've tried tastes absolutely h e a v e n l y and it is WELL worth your time and money to visit. I've never yet had a bowl whose ingredients flavors and textures didn't scream "fresh, fragrant, a delicious work of culinary art." It's no overstatement to call this place one of my favorite restaurants, if not just straight up my favorite. There's a comfortable range of options in terms of both dishes and ingredients-- not as many as some restaurants, and it shows in the best way; they're extremely g o o d at what they do by specializing.They've just moved to a newer location, and the ambiance is bright, clean, and comfortable. The walls are mostly large windows, with accurate poster depictions of the food they serve wrapping along the lower half of/them-- offering ample street privacy but flooding the room with a welcoming dose of natural light.The people working here might be some of the most friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in food service-- everyone is very open and welcoming, and in my experience, eager to share a conversation and very, very sweet I feel like I really can't overstate how g o o d the food is without turning the review into something completely unintelligible. It's so, so, so delicious, I will take a bite and straight up swoon-- you know how when you eat a dish for long enough, you eventually get used to and even tired of the taste? THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. This is the only restaurant I've gone to whose food just doesn't get old-- not to throw the other places I love under the bus, but this is an experience unique to Poke Cafe for me. I don't think there's vocabulary to properly express the experience, unless you ask me to wax poetry about it, but even that can be twisted by perception, so I'll just say, for the love of god if you like Poke (or the other things they offer,) GO TO POKE CAFE.Y'all know that phrase "A Diamond in the Rough?"That's Poke Cafe. There's only one location and it kills me, as a college student leaving Seattle during the school year, every time I remember that. Holiday breaks are not for holidays, they're for coming back to Poke Cafe. Enough said.About The Pictures:- I will admit that the avocado this time was somewhat messily cut/scooped, but it still tasted D I V I N E and the look didn't mess with that so honestly, who cares - Listing the additional toppings: Crab Salad, Masago, Cucumber, Jalapeño Peppers, Cilantro, Ginger, Avocado, Edamame, Furikake, Garlic Chips-- I think that's everything?- All the toppings above are included according to your preference, except the Avocado which is a small additional charge. You can also pick between brown or white rice, salad greens, or half-and-half of the prior options for a base.- The cilantro here might just be some specific variety I've never had,,, but it's especially fragrant - I'll admit I've only had their Poke, but I've picked up a Bah Minh for a friend, and said friend is also enamored with the food

Absolutely delicious food and such a sweet family! Kim (the owner and matriarch) is amazing! Food is fresh and I love their coconut smoothie. Best part is their chicken is halal! Love that!

Love the new location. Nice and spacious inside and great customer service. The BBQ pork banh mi was delicious! I can't wait to go back.

We got the bahn mi dip, tofu vermicelli bowl and coconut smoothie. All were very delicious. The bahn mi had a nice crispy bread and plentiful with the fillings. A but too much hoisin but still tasty. Smoothie was refreshing and a nice complement to the spicy jalapeño.

This place low key has one of the best BahnMi sandwiches in the area. Nothing compares! The Poke is good too, but pretty standard (nothing wrong with that) but the bahn mi sand which is where it's at for me. This place also has Milk tea, which is a bit rare to find in Northgate, at least at the time of this review.

Okay so, I will say, at least the bubble tea I got from here a few months ago was fantastic - honestly, top tier. Possibly the best bubble tea I've had in Seattle The boba was the perfect texture and taste, the sweetness level was perfect, and the flavor was natural instead of artificial. It's hard to find this trifecta.Unfortunately, I got poke from here for the first time the other day, and every poke bowl I've tried in Seattle was better than this one. They go really light on the fish and toppings compared to other shops, and that goes for the sauce as well. The fish was sort of bland. The rice was very hot and it warmed up all the ingredients quite a bit. There were big, rubbery, sticky, overcooked rice chunks at the bottom that absorbed the majority of the sauce. The "make your own bowl" setup was pretty confusing and not well labeled, so I didn't get to nail down what I wanted in my bowl. Going forward, I'll remember that Just Poke is right down the street.I honestly feel kind of bad leaving this review, because the lady behind the counter was SO positive and friendly both times. I will come back to try their bahn mi soon - and I'll get a bubble tea when I do.

Came here for a little snack after going to target. I ordered the pho banh mi and it was decent. I dipped the banh mi in the broth and it got the bread a bit soggy. I think this is a unique approach in combining both banh mi and pho. The flavour was just okay, nothing that stands out compare to other banh mi spots I've been to. They also serve poke here too.

I got a grilled pork bahn mi here tonight and it was 1.) so juicy and delicious!! 2.) enormous!! 3.) under $8!! My partner got the tuna poke bowl and loved it.The food is delicious and the service is so friendly! I can tell this is going to be a favorite spot for us!
