Hawaiian Restaurants near Kenmore, WA

“Wow! Wow! Wow! This place did not disappoint. Loco moco is a fave, with its delicious gravy over a thick grilled burger patty. Gingery cole slaw, Mac salad, rice and a perfectly runny egg completed this dish. We also tried the garlic shrimp, full of roasted garlic cloves and amazing flavor. It was a little on the spicy side but not overdone. This is a small place but clean and tidy. Staff is friendly and efficient. We will be back!“

“Absolutely the best poke on the mainland, and the nicest people!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“This is my favorite poke place. Clean, easy to choose, and yummy. I like it here a lot“

“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.“

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

“Our goto special burger place“

“Love the poke bowls and the rose wall. Service was extremely nice. Amazingly affordable prices.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I stopped in here on the way home from an appointment. It was delicious. I did like that they let you order the kids bowl that has less fish and around the same amount of toppings. I could’ve used a little more time to explore the toppings because I think I got one less that I was supposed to. Everything looks fresh and there’s more selection than you find at a regular poke place. There was also other food items to get if you weren’t feeling poke or wanted to make it a more well-rounded meal.“

“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.“

“Excellent sushi. Great and fast staff with easy menu on app ordering.“

“This place is great. I don’t get the negative reviews. I enjoyed the poke I got here. The fish was fresh and most importantly the food was tasty.

The portions aren’t huge but I wasn’t left hungry. Honestly the price seemed like a value to me.

The service has a tinge of the Gen Z stare, but it’s fine. Just deal with it, go outside and enjoy some delicious, inexpensive food.“

“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.“

“I love 💘 the food 😋 I will go back again 😋 and get yellow shot 💛 😋“

“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.)“

“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!“

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

“It's a little heavy on the sauce but that's how I like it. A bit expensive but worth going to at least once for the decor choice. Don't spoil it for yourself if you don't know.

Vegetarian options: I wouldn't come here for a solo vegetarian meal but there was an option for a bowl with tofu.“

“I absolutely loved it, I was totally shocked at how high-quality the food was and how generous the portions were, especially at a mall food court. The prices were also very competitive, which is unexpected in such an expensive city.“

“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.“

“Nestled in the heart of Fremont, directly across from my office and tauntingly visible from my gym’s elliptical, lies a poké haven that’s been my go-to for years. This spot offers a build-your-own bowl extravaganza, featuring sustainably sourced fish and a kaleidoscope of fresh toppings. The Spam Musubi is a must-try, a delightful nod to Hawaiian comfort food. The ambiance is a minimalist’s dream—clean, efficient, and unpretentious—perfect for a quick lunch that doesn’t skimp on quality. Service is brisk yet friendly, ensuring you’re in and out before your boss notices you’re missing. Plus, with DIY Tea Lab sharing the space, your bubble tea cravings are covered. Just remember, staring at this place from the gym won’t burn calories, but indulging is worth every bite.“

“I got the poke bowl, and it was pretty good! The portion size for the protein was generous. Admittedly I was confused about how the bowl pricing worked so I got two proteins (also assuming the scoops were going to be half the size they ended up being) and ended up buying a really expensive bowl lol, but entirely at my own fault! I wish they had more sauce options than just the spicy mayo or eel sauce, but it’s a pretty good option in this food court when you’re opting for more “fresh” fast food! :)“

“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.“
