First time to visit, but won't be my last. Excellent flavors and quality of fish.They are a bit different from most poke places in that it's not a "build-your-own" bowl. They have specific bowls that are starters and then you can customize. I went for JT's with brown rice and really enjoyed it.Will get a photo next time.
This is the best poke in Austin. Freshest. Best tasting. Closely resembles what I had in Hawaii.They also finally opened up their dining room.
Umm not sure what all these glowing reviews are about… not only is the service HORRIBLE (it’s apparently too much to ask out of a poke spot to just be present & not be messing around with their friends) but I paid $23 for a large bowl w/ avocado added. And the avocado was an absolute joke, maybe like 4 TINY pieces….tiny…but the salmon was so over salted it was practically inedible. This place was horrific enough for me to never give it a 2nd try. It’s Malibu poke all the way for me. Unless you want to walk out with a tiny ton called a large & pay over $20 & wait over 30 minutes I suggest you go elsewhere.
The actual poke was delicious and the best I’ve found in Austin by far. But the location is really dirty, there were empty boxes stacked up next to tables, very few refrigerated drinks but cases of warm beverages stacked up on top of the cooler, and it was overall very dirty inside and in a state of disarray. Very expensive for the portion size you get but if it’s quality I’ll pay more. I’ll give it another try but I don’t want to pay more and sit in a dirty gas station-like dining room either.
Poke-Poke is clearly a failing business. Only one employee working during peak lunch hours taking care of both check-out desk and kitchen. Price discrepancy between online menu/paper menu. Great floors, dirty tables, exposed wires… On top of everything, food is not fresh and the price is very high for the portion.
Love this place. I eat here probably about once a week. Fish always taste fresh and the dishes are always very consistent. Staff is friendly and service is always great. I recommend ordering ahead through their website.
I don’t want to give them a 1 star review for this but I want to warn people: I drove out of my way to come here and arrived at 6:25pm but was told they could no longer accept orders… at 6:25 on a weekday. They close at 7pm for some reason and apparently get backed up on orders, so order online at least 40 minutes before they close to guarantee you won’t waste your time.
Very good poké, I recommend the salmon sambal, wich is awesome if you like ginger, I added seaweed salad to it. Awesome.
It is hard to find a good place in Austin that is authentic. This is a great place if you are really looking for a fresh poke, I had the ahi with the OG sauce with a base of white rice and seaweed salad, it was absolutely delicious.The reason why I took a star off is because the employee that was helping me was not very friendly, and almost all of the toppings are available at an extra charge.Overall, good poke, a bit pricey but good quality.
Fresh high grade fish prepared to perfection. Phenomenal staff and service today. Definitely the best Poke bar in Austin! We will be back.
