Poke Alice — Restaurant in Seattle

I eat poke at least once a week and I LOVE this place! Their poke is bigger, badder, and cheaper than its competitor just a block away (Pokeworks). Both restaurants are good but Poke Alice wins my stomach! The line goes pretty quickly compared to all other poke restaurants around the area. Until I find something better, I will keep coming back here once a week. Here's what to expect. Enjoy!

Good value, fast service, decent quality ingredients. Overall great place to add to your lunch rotation.

The entrance is on 2nd Ave close to Spring St. There are a few tables inside (and outside when it's warm) if you want to eat there but most folks get their poke to-go

Things that differentiate this place from the nearby comparable options are: More protein options Fewer sauce options - mainly restricted to their house sauce and spice level (flavor-wise it's along the lines of a sweet/salty soy based sauce mixed with some hot sauce depending on your spice level) Crab salad is a little heavier on the mayo than the surrounding places Option to mix base ingredients 1/2 and 1/2 (so option for half salad half rice, etc.) Poke serving size was an exact scoop rather than a heaping scoop (but that did not bother me - it's looks small when you order but after you eat your realize you are full anyway) Spam musubi. The quality/flavor was good compared to other options in the downtown area and it will satisfy the craving, but it's not the best I've ever had. No edamame topping which is one of my favs but they do have quinoa...

This place used to be amazing and my go to poke place in Seattle (and everyone else's.. The line was always out the door and down the. Fast forward two years, there's never a line and there's a reason. They've gotten exponentially stingy with way smaller portions coupled with being more expensive. I believe it's the owner, but there's one woman who clearly has an issue with providing decent portions. She whispers in the ears of the workers and they will remove some food afterwards. If you ask for a little more mango or green onions, they give you one tiny piece. If they actually scoop you the right amount of fish, I've had them actually remove a few pieces from my bowl. It's absurd. The flavor is still good but with all the other poke places in Seattle, Pike Alice has lost my business and all my...
