Hawaiian Restaurants near Bellevue, WA

“Do not sleep on this amazing gem! ☆☆☆☆☆ Amazing service, staff, food & ambiance. My 13 year old son and I needed a refreshing place to escape the heat and get a late lunch/ early dinner. This is such a happy, vibrant, peaceful place to get some grindz and relax. Will be back again & again!“

“Amazing food and vast serving !!! I totally enjoyed the experience.“

“Ordered my short ribs which came with the Mac salad. The food was amazing and the Mac salad was great! Highly recommend this place and will surely be back.“

“Good stuff!“

“My wife and I have been coming here for years and it’s our favorite poke spot. The fish is almost always spot on and the one time it wasn’t, they made sure to remediate the situation without any hassle. Most of the staff are friendly, but special kudos to Leo for going above and beyond with his customer service!“

“I had the evergreen bowl and it was wonderful!“

“visited for the first time with my boyfriend yesterday and we were very surprised with the flavor and quality!! the tuna and salmon were delicious and the young man making our bowls was very nice! would come here again, as the price is very reasonable compared to other poke shops!“

“Seattle you have no business having Laulau this good. Some of the best I've ever had. Tender, buttery, juicy, salty. Rice was tender, little soft but solid Mac salad. Great portion size. I only wish they had some fire water soy sauce.

Place was Completely packed on a Saturday lunch. Help a business out and bring CASH if you can.“

“After spending time in Hawaii and trying musubi I’ve been wanting to try it again. There aren’t any places on the east coast that sells this dish so to our surprise when we stumbled upon this, we had to stop in. A simple musubi with just the nori, rice and spam was $5. Thankfully they were served warm. They taste just like they did in Hawaii but yes, very salty. Glad we got to have it again.“

“The food is very good And they give you very good service but they are doing something very wrong with the employees. I have friends who work there and say that the tips left by customers are not given to the workers. If customers leave tips, they would have to make sure where the money they make with that money goes. They would have to talk to industrial labor so that they report that they do not want to give them that money. some do not speak for fear of losing their job but it is not fair what they do in that place with the workers“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“Five stars just for having a website with a menu with photos, descriptions, and prices. I went in and knew exactly what I wanted to order. I got a 2 slider combo ($13 as of October, 2025) with kālua pork and pocket tots. The sliders were delicious, the kālua pork was tender and the signature slaw was fresh and flavorful.“

“We ordered the huli chicken & short rib combo plate, which was enough for my husband and me. The place was nearly empty and the food came out really fast. First bite and my feet started tapping on the floor happily 😊 10 outta 10 will be back!“

“Buddha Brudda has been my initial and favorite Hawaiian food experience. I'm in love with the macaroni salad, I always want extra. The servings are large and worth coming back to later for another meal. The food tastes so good. I'll be getting it again soon for sure.“

“Marination catered our wedding rehearsal dinner and we couldn’t be happier! They were so easy to work with, arrived right on time, and the food was fantastic. We had so many compliments from our guests, and their catering options made planning simple and stress-free. Highly recommend!“

“We always enjoy L&L. Would recommend to anyone that enjoys something new and a good old hamburger.“

“Up until now, the only authentic poke spot that I found in WA was Ono Poke in Edmonds. I was born and raised in Hawaii so I don’t enjoy any of the inauthentic build-your-own poke type places. I was pleasantly surprised by this spot and would definitely eat here again!

The poke plate was $22 so after tax and couple bucks tip you’re looking at like $27. It seemed expensive until I started eating and noticed how much poke there was. Very fresh, seasoned well, so good. Unfortunately their Hawaiian poke had no limu which honestly sucks. And it was super heavy on the onions, which was a plus for me. There’s major construction in the parking lot right now but it was still easy to pull in and park. Come support this local business and keep authentic poke in WA!“

“Amazing food and vast serving !!! I totally enjoyed the experience.“

“I cannot even begin to explain how excited I was for this meal. I may or may not have had a little wine and a gummy (as one does), so the vibes were already high. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Homemade Hamburger Steak with Gravy, and let me tell you—both were absurdly good. Like, offensively delicious. I usually roll my eyes when people say “amazing” too much, but here? Yeah. Worth it.
Let’s talk katsu. Instead of breast, it’s made with thigh meat—an absolute revelation. Juicy, flavorful, life-changing. I had to sit down (and yes, I was already sitting). But here’s the kicker: the leftovers. I reheated the curry-soaked katsu in the air fryer and it became next-level. The sauce seeps into the breading, then the air fryer brings back the crisp like magic.
And honestly? The real move is to fry it again after the curry hits. Re-fry. Trust me. The sauce-infused breading turns into this glorious crunch-meets-savoriness situation that’s borderline unfair. I would order this dish again just for the leftovers. Delicious the first time around, but the remix? Absolute perfection. 10/10, would air fry again.“

“Very good poke. Fresh and they had all the things I like to add in. We will go back.“

“I like this place. Really good place to go if your really hungry and tired. The food is super fast. You will maybe have to wait a few minutes at the most as they make it in front of you. You will have to wait until there is a place for you to sit and eat it as there is no seating inside to enjoy your meal. There is a nice square outside if its not raining that might be a good place to eat. The poke itself was very good. The ingredients tasted very fresh and they also have miso soup which I appreciate alot since I love miso soup. Definitely check this place out if your in need of a quick bite to eat but want something healthy“

“Our goto special burger place“

“This is a great place to get good, reasonably priced, Hawaiian food in the Uwajimaya food court. We are quite fond of the Kalua Pork, Mac salad, and Loco Moco. The katsu and teriyaki are also good, as well as the burger and fries. In fact. Everything we have had here is good, and we would get it again.

The employees are friendly and helpful, and very accommodating to any requests. Overall, I highly recommend this place!“

“I've been a weekly customer since this location opened a few years ago, so I'm long overdue for this review. I can confidently say that this is the best Just Poke in the greater Seattle metro area. First and foremost, the staff are extremely friendly and courteous. Their lunch rush occurs in the heart of the biggest corporate building in Seattle, and they always handle it with kindness and efficiency. I usually order the build-your-own bowl, and I can't recall a single time I've had issues with my order as they were making it. The portions are more than enough for a filling lunch. The ingredients always taste fresh, and I can tell that the staff take extra care to maintain a clean kitchen, reflected in the food quality. Compared to other Just Poke locations in Seattle, the Columbia Tower location is just a step above. I've got no complaints, and I look forward to continue being a loyal customer for years to come!“

“The platform I placed my order through had cancelled my order while I was on my way to pick it up (the store confirmed they had even opened/accepted the order on their end). They still made my order even though it had been refunded.

I will definitely be coming here to spend my money directly in the future to avoid any mishaps like that.“

“Great poke, perfect size for a filling lunch. Good variety of toppings and proteins and sauces. The owner is very kind as well. It’s just barely pricier than a typical poke place but worth the price. Can be busy during lunch so I’d avoid the lunch rush if you can.“

“I went once so far to get two spicy salmon sandwich and two rolls but one get one free.

The sandwich was tasty but requires being heated in a toaster oven at home, the sandwich is grilled but served cold. It’s whatever. But the sushi I got had mushy gross rice that seemed to have been stuck to the bottom of the rice container. Not regular calrose rice but some other sticker variant. Almost like Rice paper rice. Very bad fed to my dog. The ingredients I could not waste. Very tasty! Will try again.“

“The best Poke in the city. Excellent service. There food is amazing❤️ every Seattlite needs to check this place out, good size portions with amazing quality and freshness😊they also do delivery and take out. 😃The best I’ve ever had. 🤯😍🤩“

“My first visit was pleasant. Easy to use self order and pay stations. The poke bowl I ordered had plenty of food and was made with delicious ingredients. I will be visiting again.“

“This place is awesome!!! I ordered online, and when I arrived my food was all ready to go and packaged nicely! The staff are friendly and professional. Good atmosphere; they play music which is nice. The food is good too; great quality ingredients for a relatively affordable price (when it comes to poké.)“

“Real beef and chicken pieces. Enough for two meals. Perfect sauce and perfect salad dressing.“

“The pike place bowl did it for me and then some!! I had half of my bowl in the restaurant where I got to people watch, then picked up up target ordered upstairs and finished the rest of my bowl on a bench in the park just north of the plaza. I have absolutely no complaints about the bowl. If the service was a little better I would've rated this bowl a 5.“

“Just Poke is a chain of poke bowl fast food locations meant for order and go meals. Their menu isn't that large, but they have many ingredients where you can customize your bowl in many ways. This location is across the street from Olive 8 in the triangle right past 8th. It's very small with limited parking outside, so most people walk to it. There's no tables outside and inside there's seating for maybe 6 people total with a bench for waiting. It's very busy at lunch everyday, but ordering there will get you food faster than ordering pickup through something like DoorDash. Pricing is a bit high for the portion size compared to other poke chains but their quality is quite good. The service is fine, the employees here are really nice but there's only room behind the counter for maybe 3 workers so it's tough to keep up with all the lunch orders. Overall a good spot for lunch if your budget is a bit higher and you want quality over quantity.“

“Yummy poke place with a large selection of toppings. I have tried several poke places and this one is in my top 3. They have a bunch of base options from 3 different rices, veggie based, or even quinoa and couscous (which I got). They also have fob sauce which is so yummy. I love their toppings especially the spicy crab salad. Their pricing is also really good I paid only 17 for a two protein bowl. I definitely recommend stopping in for take out or dine in if you’re in the area.“

“I always like the burrito and i get to make it how i was fresh every time!“

“Always GREAT food!! High quality!“

“Delicious poke for a great price, staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free options and very friendly and helpful!

Dietary restrictions: All dietary restrictions were clearly marked on the sauce menu, staff was very knowledgable about which things were gluten free and made sure to keep gluten items away from our food“

“Food is decent, good for the price. However, the last time we went to dine in, we walked in about an hour before closing. The dining area was already cleaned with tables put up, and we were told we needed to take out. Instead, we left and dined elsewhere. The experience put us off a bit, but helped us discover a different poke place so now we know we have options if it's 6:55 pm and we'd like to sit for dinner.“

“The staff was friendly and attentive!! Be advised, they didn't have chop sticks.“
