Hawaiian Restaurants near Mercer Island, WA

“I'm so glad Just Poke opened a location on Mercer Island. I've been going to their location in Bellevue for the past year. While the protein portions are carefully measured their accompaniments and sides are generous. Just love it!“

“I’m a believer in poke bowls again after trying the poke bowl from here.It has been a couple of years since I’d last had a poke bowl since they usually all taste kinda the same, aren’t very filling and just generally aren’t so fresh.I placed a pickup order through Google and it was ready super quick. The order was ready when I got there, seamless experience.The poke bowl was mad tasty. I built my own and the best part is they don’t hold back on ingredients. Two bases and two proteins and unlimited toppings. Avocado was only $0.50 extra, which is unheard of. The salmon and seared tuna ahi were both super fresh and the mix of ingredients and combo of soft and crunch was top. ?“

“This place become a favorite between my husband and I when we don't feel like cooking, and want delicious Korean/Hawaiian food! The spicy pork is our favorite, but the beef bulgogi is a very close second. Everyone is always super friendly when we go in to eat or are picking up food!“

“This was like stepping into a local style restaurant back home in Hawaii. Authentic Hawaiian food, friendly ohana atmosphere and 'Aloha spirit' are served here daily, and you can tell!! The Hawaiian plate was on special when we went, so of course I had to try it with a side of poi. Everything was spot on! To finish it off, the haupia cinnamon rolls were divine. We will gladly drive to Patrick's again, to get a little taste of home.“

“We love the poke bowl here - fresh and good! We ordered the combination of Hawaiian salmon and tuna and it’s just perfect! The only downside would be we didn’t know they don’t have dining in option, so we were disappointed that we could only buy takeaway and enjoy it in the car. We would definitely like it better if we can dine in!“

“I tried Go Poke during the CID Festival & I can't stop ranting and raving about not only the food but the people who provide stellar customer service at this location. Thank you for helping me make an informed decision about my poke & for being so friendly. Not only does Go Poke have awesome poke but they also have tasty onigiri & musubi. Go Poke is the place to be! FOLLOW @eatwithjustinm on TikTok , YouTube & IG“

“Excellent chicken karaage. Sushi wasn't exactly top tier but did the trick. Corn in the mac salad... not terrible but strange. The sauces were good and more quantity than I was expecting. Great service with attentive staff. Drinks are kinda weak. Food came out hot and fast.“

“We came here after taking our kids to the VR place across the way. The staff was friendly and took our order quickly. The menu has many options, it feels like there is something for everyone (littles included!). Note that if you order a burger, it does not come with fries, you have to order them separately. After we ordered, it took quite a bit for us to get the food and there wasn't many people who ordered before us, but it seemed as if they might've been a little short staffed in the kitchen. It was worth the wait. All 3 boys finished their meals and the side of fries we got them. The food was extremely flavorful and filling. We live pretty far away from this location, but I would drive the 1+ drive it takes to eat here again. I'll be interested to see where their food truck goes, hopefully it'll come down south sometimes so we can enjoy it.Parking: This is located within a shopping center so we found parking easily.Kid-friendliness: Their kids menu has good options in case you have a picky eater that wouldn't enjoy the flavors on the regular menu.“

“I give this place a 4.7.Finally, we made it to this restaurant! When I heard who owned the restaurant, I was sold immediately! First impressions, amazed by the history, the photos of different celebrities that visited this location, and the different art that was given to the restaurant. The only downfall is the place can use some cleaning. The table we sat at has a plant next to it, and it was caked in dust. Other than that, the service was good, and the vibe was chill. Now the food, damn the food was amazing. Also, the positions....lol well let's just say, I hope you're hungry. Good size positions and flavors are to die for.Today, my girl got the Lau Lau plate, I picked the build your own Loco moco, which consisted of fried rice, spam, hamburger patty, and gravy. Omg, the banana wrapped pork was amazing. Pork was supper tender and just melts. The Loco moco was super good. The fried rice alone was supper good. For dessert, we got the guava cake and haupia cake. Omg, again, super good. The guava cake you can tell the guava spread was made fresh. The haupia cake had a nice subtle, but yet nice flavor,Overall, we love this place, and plan to visit the other location :)“

“Absolutely incredible food! The Huli Huli chicken and ribs is out of this world and so is the Kalua Pork and ribs! The coconut cream pie is to die for! The staff is so friendly and so nice and they have great recommendations if you aren't sure on what to try. The atmosphere is amazing and very inviting. Can't wait to go back and try the shrimp. If you're in the area, this gem is definitely worth stopping for!“

“Arrived about 12noon on a Monday for a business lunch with a colleague. Was busy. Food quality was very good and reasonably priced. Service was friendly. The downside of the establishment is you need to be prepared to take your food somewhere else to eat if one of the handful of tables is occupied. We got lucky and a two top opened up for us after we paid so we could eat on site. But many others other food to go.“

“Super relaxed vibes, beautifully decorated space, reasonably priced food!We had the chicken katsu musubi, two drinks, and the salmon teriyaki. The chicken was good, crispy in the outside, soft on the inside, not greasy, and the sauce it came with was tasty too. The salmon was a large portion for the price -- the teriyaki glaze gave it a crisp exterior for the soft interior, and it tasted pretty fresh. The pina coladas were good too!The staff were all super nice and helpful in helping us make our picks. Service was quick and efficient.We really enjoyed our visit to Ohana and will be back!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian dishes availableDietary restrictions: Very accommodating to modifications and knowledgeable of the menuParking: There is paid and free street parking in the area but it is rather limited“

“The chicken teriyaki and the short rib teriyaki were as good as anywhere I've tried before. It's pretty affordable at around $10 for a "half" size, which is good for a respectably hearty snack before or after hitting the bars. I will definitely be back.“

“Best poke place ever! Eel is my favorite, but I did not get it every time. I ordered a bowl with eel online, but unfortunately I didn’t get the eel last time with paying extra 2 dollars online. So I started to make my order in store, but this time I didn’t notice that the eel wasn’t put in the bowl until I got home and open it. The bowl just lost its soul without the eel. How did I not notice that while I was in store lol. Sad but still taste good“

“Oh man. This food was crazy good I had the Fiesta plate which is chamoru food. I chose the brisket and BBQ chicken. Both had a nice char, great flavor, and good portions. that orange chamoru rice is just different in the best way possible. so much flavorThis was soooo good and the price is a bargain. buddy got the mochiko chicken and that was awesome as well.“

“Ohana kitchen is super good! The food is some of if not the best Hawai'ian food outside of Hawai'i. I know this because my wife and father-in-law are from there and they both said it's just like eating back at home! We got the Kaliu pig, chicken katsu and BBQ chicken plates and they did not disappoint!“

“One of the best/most authentic poke bowl restaurants in the area. No frills, just good quality fish pre-marinated with traditional hawaiian ingredients. YUM! Please open more restaurants in South King/Pierce!Parking: In a busy intersection with construction ongoing.“

“L&L is such a nostalgic and comforting place for me to grab food at. It is consistently good no matter what location I go to. The chokehold the mac salad has on me is insane. Not only is it good food for a reasonably price, but they also give you pretty big portions. I eat a lot and sometimes I can't finish an order of food in one sitting.“

“So fast! My food was ready immediately and it was delicious. It tasted fresh and flavorful. They didn't skimp on the ahi either. Great price for great food. There's a small area to eat but this is also a great place to grab and go.“

“Food was delicious! Would agree with other reviewers who call this an upscale Hawaiian food truck. Alcohol beverage offerings were decent (something for just about everyone). Spam Musubi is excellent! Shredded pork could've used some sauce of some sort. Over all great! Fish and chips were yummy with the spicy tarter option.Kid-friendliness: Even with your typical kids who stick to mac n'cheese and chicken nugs....we were able to find something for our 3 small humans 12-10 years old.“

“Had a delightful dinner at IJ Sushi Burrito! The Sumo Crunch and Dragon Ball were absolutely delicious! The ingredients were fresh, the combinations were expertly crafted, and the flavors were unforgettable. The service was attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Highly recommend it to sushi roll enthusiasts!“

“This is our go-to place for a yummy healthy meal. The food is always so fresh and well prepared. Portions are generous. You can get some Hawaiian favorites like musubi and loco moco. They have some great sauces. We will keep coming back to this friendly little place!“

“Our family stopped by on a whim and we are sooo glad we did. I wish I would've taken pics of our bowls, because they were lovely and packed with tasty, fresh salmon and tuna and crab salad and ... They also gave us some.chicken teriyaki to try and it was really delicious - gonna order it next time we stop by (on purpose).“

“I love it! This was my first time trying Hawaiian food. Their tacos were really juicy and the sauce was great. Perfect value for money. The only downside for dine in was that place is small; so I felt a bit Claustrophobic. Highly recommend trying their tofu tacos!“

“I have come here a LOT in the past year, and it is amazing every time! The food is delicious and fresh, ordering is easy as it is done on a large screen, and the staff is always friendly. In my opinion, it is worth every penny and I highly recommend it!“

“Good poke spot tucked away inside the seafood market where all the other smaller shops are. Although the poke is average in my opinion, the real reason you would want to come here is for the DOLE WHIP! Pineapple dole whip like they have in Hawaii is certainly a unique feature of this poke spot.FoodI got a poke bowl with two fish and loads of toppings. They really pile on the toppings and a decent amount of fish to really make this place worth it. They’ve got the typical flavors like spicy ahi, salmon, or tako. Poke was pretty good and average in my opinion. I would still get it again when I’m craving poke!The dole whip ice cream is one of the distinguishing items on Go Pokes menu. The pineapple soft serve is a famously well known dessert in Hawaii (yes, that Dole). It is sweet and also a little sour. But overall good and I would get again.AtmosphereThe restaurant is almost like a food stall inside the seafood market so don’t expect anything like a dinning experience. Noise level was high and lots of foot traffic. This is poke I would get to go but there are some limited number of tables.PricingPrices are reasonable and average for the poke. The dole whip was worth it since you can’t really get this anywhere in the Seattle area. Dole whip wasn’t much more expensive than any ice cream place.ServiceService was this and staff was friendly. They put the gummy bears super cute on our dole whip.OtherPlenty of parking in the market parking lot. Not a lot of seating.“

“Very tasty poke at an affordable price! I really love the protein options here, they are very fresh and consistently delicious. There are a wide variety of toppings and I appreciate how much the workers pack into one bowl. For sure one of my favorite spots for poke.“

“Update! I spoke with the manager and was convinced to give this place another try. It was great! The fish was fresh and firm and delicious! Like before, the store was clean and the service was fast. The server was really nice too! A tip: I asked to have my poke made with a new spatula, and they were happy to oblige!“

“Absolutely amazing food! Friendly service, tons of options and very reasonably priced. The Mac salad is soooo good we have to get extra scoops every time. Also, the hidden gems of this place are the sandwiches. $5 for a cheeseburger that is amazing!! Fried fish sandwhich is great too with their incredible tartar sauce! Huge portions and you won’t be disappointed.“

“The guys working on 6.6 were very cool and efficient. Did not convey that typical abrasive or disingenuous vibe that Seattle, WA has a reputation for. Was there for maybe 15 minutes, and they consistently provided good customer care to the store patrons.Kept the space clean, prep areas well-stocked, and music was decent.Tips:Those waters are a little expensive, maybe carry Smart Water or boxed water instead.Smoke behind the shop not in front.“

“Ordered the Sumo Crunch combo from IJ Sushi Burrito's app last night, and it's more cost-effective than other platforms. Sumo Crunch is my favorite burrito - it's rich in flavor with a crispy outer layer. The only downside was that the avocado had slightly darkened, likely from sitting out for the afternoon. However, after a full day of work, this meal was truly a delight. Fast service, reasonable prices - highly recommend!“

“For anybody who has allergies, this staff is here to help you. They are so thoughtful to ask about them every time and if you scoff at the price you obviously haven't seen the protein varieties or the portion sizes. As a Hawaiian missing home I've eaten at many poke places in Seattle. This is a go to stop for me anytime I'm in the city and need to grab an amazing lunch that's refreshing and nostalgic. The FOB rice is what I want everyday rice to be and their fish is so fresh every time.Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to nightshades and can't have so many poke places because of secret chili peppers. Thank you for giving me so many options on sauces.“

“Tri was amazing! 10/10 amazing service and great company. Great ambiance, good reggae music. It was our happy vibe in Washington! Will definitely stopping back here! Definitely best layover at this restaurant. If love good poke and good company then this is the “

“This is one of my favorite poké spots. Short of making it myself, this is my go-to. Delicious, high quality fish with all the fixings you could ask for. The helping of fish is ample and consistent. This place also doubles as a boba shop! Can't recommend enough for my poké fans out there. Try the house shōyu and dynamite combo for your bowl ?Parking: It's in a mall, so there is always parking right out front any time of day.Kid-friendliness: Quiet, but limited seating.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramps from the parking lot and level entrance to the restaurant.“

“This was our first time coming to this mall. We saw this spot and decided to try them out. They had a lot of yummy choices. We went with the rainbow roll bowl, and one spam musubi with tamago. The bowl was really good. The musubi was really good too. The sauce that was one it made it extra yummy.Overall, this spot was yummy. Next time we visit this mall, I would totally eat here again :)“

“Perfect spot for a quick healthy grab! Generous portions with fresh fish. My go to is always build your own with salmon and scallops though all their other proteins are just as tasty; top it off with crab salad, seaweed salad, mango, edamame and cucumber and you have a perfect meal! They have a variety of sauce options too.“

“Mentaiko seared salmon bowl.... GET IT !!! GOATED! The first time I had it for lunch... My friend and I went back to get it again that same day for dinner ?. Added on some spicy scallops. Delicious !!!Kid-friendliness: Has a chair for babies“

“Ordered online 2 bowls for pickup estimated 21mins = thought it might be busy.... k, will wait, upon arrival, just me in the store and 2 staff: 1 prep, 1 in back office, still had to wait for my bowls, what gives?.. All ingredients r fresh, sauce on side as requested, the salmon is slightly marinated, guess to keep longer. Good meals.“

“So, this was my first time trying Poke and I came away impressed. Quick, friendly service with some advice on what to get and super friendly and helpful interactions when putting my bowl together.I went for the torched Salmon which was a delight and tasted great. The added advice on what sauces and ingredients to pick helped the dish immensely. I opted for the extra Kimchi and the Wasabi on the side. That gave the dish an extra kick and great structure. Yum!This will not be my last time at this location. Super yummy!“

“Great food great service and great people! If you are looking for a good place to eat right before heading to the airport or staying at a hotel nearby this place has you covered. Healthy portion sizes will leave your belly full! Good flavor and helpful staff! I highly recommend stoping by if you are in the neighborhood!“

“I got the garlic chicken rice plate, furikake fries, and the spam fries. All to-go and ate about 40 minutes after.Garlic chicken was very solid. Maybe a tad too sweet. Considering the wait I had I'm not counting the fact it wasn't very crispy.The spam fries were super crispy and tasted pretty good. I will say though that it is very heavy and I thought the katsu sauce made that fact worse. Would be much better with a side of rice.The furikake fries were very disappointing. The fries were super pale and not fried very well. Even considering the wait time, you can taste and feel it wasn't fried enough. Also, the furikake seasoning was very weak. I was surprised how little I could taste the furikake“

“I was traveling home after my mother's passing and needed a place to hole up while waiting for my flight. I am so glad I found this place so close to my gate! My server and bartender even though I sat at a table was incredible. I think he could tell I was struggling with something but didn't know what. He was so patient and attentive...also makes good drinks! I ended up ordering the firecracker shrimp and it was delicious! I needed to use the bathroom and he said he'd watch my things as he came over and put napkins on my drink. I just think for the quality and quantity of their food coupled with good honest drinks and amazing service this place should be packed! I will be flying back to Seattle for services soon and I will be coming back for sure.“

“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!“

“Just Poke, nestled in the heart of the Microsoft campus in Redmond's Common area, is a go-to spot for poke lovers, but with a few caveats. First off, be prepared for a wait—this place is always buzzing, and the line can stretch out the door. Pro tip: order online for pickup to skip the queue.Now, the hours might throw you off a bit—they don't open on weekends or for dinner. This joint caters mainly to the Microsoft crowd, so plan accordingly. Inside, you'll find a decent amount of seating among other nearby eateries, but come lunchtime, good luck snagging a spot.When it comes to poke, they've got options galore, from build-your-own bowls to suggested combos. Toppings? They've got 'em, but watch out for those sneaky extras that'll cost you. Now, here's the scoop—the portions are a tad on the smaller side, especially considering the slightly higher price point compared to other spots in Bellevue.My advice? Go for the build-your-own option for a bigger bang for your buck. Mix and match to your heart's content—trust me, everything plays well together. Overall, Just Poke is a decent choice if you find yourself on the Microsoft campus during the week, just steer clear during the lunch rush if you're not keen on waiting.“

“It's hard to rate Poké for tastes. They are usually fresh and mildly seasoned, mimicking Sashimi with sides. This one was good, not extraordinary, in this category. For that, it should be 3-starred. I liked their ordering system: 5-step with instructions right above the choice items. That's good interfaces: multiple hints and feedbacks to make decisions easier and process smoother. They probably could increase portion sizes, just a bit.“

“I still enjoy the food, but had to reduce from five stars to four stars. Unfortunately the mochi has become inedible. I miss the old mochi they had. I'm assuming it's a cost issue. Customer service is hit or miss, but that's everywhere.Follow up - Good to know it was just a bad batch, thank you for the reply. Increased back to 5 stars.“
