My go-to spot for a delicious bowl of poke. The food is always fresh and flavorful. There are a good number of options for toppings and bases. The portions are always generous. The regular size is quite a meal so I would try that one before attempting a large bowl. They do charge extra for additional avocado and additional proteins, however the other toppings and sauces they do not. This is really important because they provide quite a bit of rice that can be a bit dry without extra sauce. They are always generous with the sauce if you ask. The staff is incredibly kind and polite and professional. The girls working tonight in particular were very nice and very helpful to me and my husband. the restaurant itself is very very clean. I never have any doubt about the sanitation or cleanliness when I go here. Even the outside is always kept neat and orderly. The price is quite affordable. For 2 regular bowls plus additional avocado we paid $34. This is cheaper than some fast food places nowadays, definitely cheaper than the Panera right down the road and I feel like I get way more nutrients and quality ingredients at poki poki.

This food could be hardly named poke. Their fish (previously frozen) was not that bad, but had a bit lack of taste. The real issue was they didn’t have many sides, literally nothing to choose from. Another issue were marinades. The stuff doesn’t even understand how to mix fish and marinade well. So the food in my box was a very strange mix, partially over spicy, partially just plain fish. Don’t recommend this place, unfortunately.

Owner is very unprofessional with his employees and disrespectful has no morals or sympathy. It is illegal to not give breaks to your employees. let alone having them do overtime. i think it’s rude and unfair for them. Owner goes around being ‘friendly’ talking about others instead of being a direct “grown” man..very childish. I do not recommend this place of negativity and unprofessionalism. These workers need a raise !

I ordered take out and my SEARED ahi was frozen. I called the shop and the girl on the phone said, "oh yeah. That happens sometimes. The chef doesn't take it out long enough to defrost." Ummm... IT'S SEARED. I asked, "how are you going to fix this? My food is frozen." Her answer... again... "well that happens." I am usually not that customer but REALLY. I paid alot of money for food I really enjoy and I got frozen food with crap customer service. Thanks but no thanks. 👎👎👎👎👎
