- seatingThis restaurant exceeded expectations and is undoubtedly one of the best poké places I've ever experienced. While seating is limited due to its location in a business building, the quality of the food makes it absolutely worth it.
- ambienceambience of the place
- not many seatsMy only suggestions would be to either remove the shrimp (one piece) to slightly lower the price, or to improve the shrimp quality while maintaining the current price. It's also worth noting that there are not many seats available.
- seating areaThe seating area is just a lobby with a few barstools
If youre looking for a quick pickup and appreciate a clean, pleasant atmosphere, youll likely be happy. However, if you're hoping for a comfortable dine-in experience, the very limited seating might be a dealbreaker.

Must-Order Chirashi Bowl!
My experience involved trying the chojang poke and the kudedon. The kudedon was an absolute must-order; I'm not joking when I say it's the best chirashi bowl in Seattle. The food quality was rated a 5 out of 5.

Overpriced and Low Quality Poke Bowls
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I found the poke and chirashi bowls to be very overrated. The portions were small, especially considering the price, which ranged from almost $20 to $30 per bowl.
The fish did not taste fresh, and each cut appeared to be of low quality with minimal marbling. The seating area was essentially just a lobby with a few barstools, making it more of a takeout spot. While it's convenient for a work lunch, I will not be returning due to the poor quality, insufficient portion sizes, and lack of ambience.

Amazing Poke Bowls & Vegetarian Options!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I didn't even have the chance to photograph the bowls because they were so good. I highly recommend the Chojang Poke, which is elevated by a very special Chojang sauce that takes the bowl to another level.
For vegetarians, the Black Sesame Tofu is another excellent choice. The restaurant offers ample seating with stools and couches available in the lobby, allowing you to truly enjoy your meal.
