Hawaiian Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“My sister and her husband were visiting and they wanted to try a local eatery, we chose Marination. The food is always consistent. Port Katsu sandwich was spectacular! The Aloha Fries with an egg on top is a perfect combination. The Street Tacos were devoured, two thumbs up from my sister and her husband. The service was great, thoroughly enjoyed talking with the bartender. The seating can be tough in the winter months. Outdoor seating has no heaters, tent shelters you from the rain. Indoor seating is limited, but the turnover is quick. Takeout from Marination is very convenient, parking for pick-ups almost at the front door.

Parking: Sometimes you get lucky and find a spot in the parking lot. If not, drive down to the boat launch and on the south side of the launch is parking. The walk to the restaurant is a couple blocks away. It's worth burning a couple calories.“

“My favorite poke place by far! The macaroni salad is not something I would have ever thought like bowls needed but it's the stuff dreams are made out of.

Parking: Looks like parking is prohibited for the month of November 2024“

“We ordered the loco moco, ginger fried chicken, and kalua pork for dining in. Everything was great except the fried chicken which was way too sweet...tasted like candy. If they would reduce the amount of sugar in the marination and batter it would be perfect. But I woud be back again for sure!!!“

“Absolutely love the 2 pack taco option! That’s always my go to for lunch break. Kahlua pork is my fave they offer. Cashier and cooks are always very friendly, fast turn around time. I think I waited less than 3 minutes for my food. Eating area is always very clean. 10/10 recommend this place for a quick bite! Will take photos next time I stop by ☝🏽“

“Amazing food! Been a ton of times and always recommend! Sadly tonight’s bartender was pretentious about food and rude. Otherwise amazing food and amazing service every other night I have been there (20+ times). Highly recommend!“

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

“It’s a warm local eatery with the Aloha vibe. Comfort mixed foods pulling from Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese and The American palette which make the Islander meals hit the spot. Warm season is coming, hit the patio. This is just like the mom and pop eateries on the islands.“

“We cannot rant and rave about Buddha Bruddah enough! They catered our wedding and from start to finish they were the best caterers.

For every coordination step along the way, Drea was a consummate professional and extremely helpful. All of the information she provided was incredibly detailed, leaving minimal additional questions or concerns on my end. They were also really easy to work with regarding allergies, we had several people with different allergies and they worked with us to accommodate them. They used tamari instead of soy sauce for our guests with gluten allergies and even made my husband his own serving of mac salad with vegan mayo since he can't eat eggs (and he seldom justifies making it).

Their head bartender Maddie was also excellent to work with. She helped us craft excellent cocktails and made really pretty garnishes to accompany them!

At our wedding, Drea and her staff went above and beyond by beautifully incorporating our leftover flowers into their displays. They even brought some of their own decor to help complete our vision and make everything look put together. All of this was unprompted by us, Drea requested information about our style before our event and took it from there.

Finally, the food was fantastic! My guests keep telling me how amazing it was, they can't stop talking about it weeks later. It’s funny to say so little about what was, arguably, the biggest part of their service; but simply put, it was delicious.

I loved them so much I think I may find an excuse to have them cater another event for me in the future.“

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

“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.“

“I should've known that if musubi is in their name and logo, to stick with the musubi through and through. Spectacular flavor all around regarding the musubi, but the poke? A slight disappointment which didn't even taste as fresh as your staples like FOB can be“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“Approachable vegetarian option menus and friendly staff. Fun music, with posters of community events. Large picnic style tables feel welcoming and inviting of coming with friends and staying a while.
The food is deliciously seasoned, while maintaining a clean taste. Difficult to do with the tofu loco moco I got! They don't skimp on the aromatics or garnish, this pepper monkey is satisfied! I can't wait to go back and support this jewel of a restaurant.“

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

“I felt so strongly that I had to leave a review, I've eaten here once, and I had the katsu burger, which has TWO KATSU PATTIES, which was awesome. I'm usually a fan of the mountain of lettuce shreds but for the price? That was so worth it.“

“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!“

“This place has such a good variety. They have build your own bowls and prebuilt ones to choose from. The staff was super friendly and answered any questions I had. They are super quick and pack everything up tightly for travel. I definitely recommend stopping in and trying a bowl.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We just stopped in for drinks, but the food looked amazing. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and cool decor.“

“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. 🤯😍🤩“
