This was my first time having Hawaiian FOOD! And it won't be my last!! Let me jump to the DESSERT first. I was soooooo skeptical about having shaved ice as a strawberry shortcake (minus the shortcake)!! Haha it was strawberry flavored shaved ice, strawberries, ice cream and a total AWESOMENESS supprize. Wowzers! Okay let me stay focused. The dish I selected was, heck I don't remember but Y'all go in there and just pick out what makes you happy. I had the spicy bowl and I'm not turning back. I will definitely make this a regular visit and I live like 22 miles from this location , it's worth the drive. So, if you live near get over there. (Carmel folks) The staff is so patient and kind you won't feel weird not knowing what to order, they will lead you in the right direction. It's a very cool vibe and great natural lighting. There's an entrance at the front facade and lookie lookie behold one in the rear, So if you think you have to turn around because you by-passed the location and didn't see street parking! You can pull around back and enter from parking lot. Okay! Go visit and tell them Nan sent you..

Sooooo so good, with very big portions too. The spicy is spicier than i expected but still not bad.

Regular size - tuna as the protein and house toppings

One of my most craved meals. I'm always down to order a bowl. Local owner Jasmine is very impressive and detail-oriented, as are her staff. The poke and toppings always seem incredibly fresh, and I'm in love with the menu offerings. While this was their first location, they now have a Carmel, Fishers, and Zionsville location too. (The Carmel and Zionsville locations also have authentic Hawaiian shave ice!) This location won a spot on Yelp's "top 100 restaurants in the US" in 2019 due to their perfect reviews. They were the only restaurant in Indiana that made this list. Very impressive. This time around, I ordered a regular-sized bowl via the online delivery system on their Yelp page. It came quickly and was well-packaged. I went with one scoop of marinated tuna (raw) and one scoop of spicy tuna (raw on my bowl. I'm not usually a fan of spice, but the flavor is so good that I do half and half. I always get a base of half brown rice and half lettuce, as well as the Ali'i Poke (House Version) toppings. They include edamame, cucumber, pickled ginger. seaweed salad, watermelon radish, avocado, unagi sauce, and creamy miso sauce. It's all soooooooo good. Not a raw fish fan? They also offer cooked shrimp and tofu, or you can opt out of a protein topping and load it up with fresh veggies. You'll love it no matter what!

Maui Poke Bowl (Tropical Version) - Reg
Raven B.

I can't believe I had never been to Ali'i Poke before now! I have been a huge fan of Poke Bowls in the last couple years, but I always struggle to find one that's exactly what I want. I am a fan of any place that lets me customize my bowl to the way I like, but it's safe to say that the employees at Ali'i Poke know how to add an extra touch to make it extra enjoyable. I got a bowl with white rice and spicy tuna as my base. Let me just say that they LOADED my bowl up with both rice and tuna. It's refreshing to go somewhere where they are not trying to cheat you on the most filling part of the meal. It was undeniably the best spicy tuna I've had at a poke place. For one, it was actually spicy!! Two, the texture was perfect. Not too chewy, but not too jelly-like either. It's hard to get that perfect intermediate when it comes to tuna, but they succeeded. For the toppings, I tried their pickled cucumbers, and was blown away! I also got my usual poke toppings such as avocado and green onion. One thing that really sets this place apart from others is that their vegetables are consistently chopped to about the same size. I hate when I eat a poke bowl where one piece of onion is giant and one is teeny tiny. I like the size of the vegetables to be consisted so that the taste of the bowl is consistent throughout my meal. It's safe to say that they met that quirky expectation of mine. I finished the bowl toppings with the spicy mayo, sriracha, and furikake. I am just still so blown away but how delicious my meal was. The best part was that I actually had leftovers to enjoy the next day! Price wise, I will admit that it is pricy. However, considering both the quality and quantity of food, it's right around where it needs to be. I would absolutely pay to go there again, and it's definitely my favorite poke place in Indy now! Employees were so kind. Chris J. created me and my boyfriend's bowl and answered all my questions efficiently. Him and another employee seemed to be getting a lot of mobile orders, so I am sure they're always busy. Despite that, the restaurant was pristine, and it's clear they put effort into their work. We ate on the patio and brought our dog. The vibes were so good as it was an evening on a warm day! We got to watch the sunset as we ate our dinners :)

Enjoyed a delicious poke bowl and soup. I'm a fan of sashimi and found their salmon to be fresh and the marinade had a nice flavor. The rice was decent and I lightened my bowl by getting half rice and half lettuce as a base. They offer lots of topping options. But in the end it's all about the sauces for me. The unagi/eel sauce was sweet and tangy and the spicy mayo had a really nice kick. It was cold out so soup sounded good. Glad I added a cup of the miso because it was tasty...Had a nice amount of tofu and wasn't too salty. Topped it all off with some fresh squeezed lemonade. It was very sweet but had a tartness to balance it out. Service was great! Will definitely come back to the 10th St location.

The food was amazing very flavorful and plentiful l. The service was great. We were greeted as soon as we came in. The owner was friendly and inviting. The downtown location was clean and open very nice. We will be back!

Create Your Own - Large
Dan S.

If you love poke and are looking for the most bang for your buck then this is the spot for you! A large comes with 3 big scoops of rice, 4 scoops of protein (recommend spicy tuna/marinated salmon) and there's no limit on the toppings you select. My wife and I typically share the large which speaks to its size, but if you order the large just for yourself then you should expect leftovers! They continue to expand to different parts of the city, so whether you're downtown or on the north side you should be able to support them! Disclaimer - Champagne sold separately... not at Ali'i Poke haha

We LOVE this place!! Went to Hawaii a few years ago and fell in love with poke' bowls. Was delighted to find this place and get a taste of the islands. Staff is super nice and helpful. Offered me low sodium options which I appreciated. You can order a specific bowl or let them know each item that you would like as you go. Not overwhelming at all, perfect amount of options. Food has always been fresh and oh my stars, SO GOOD!!! At first I didn't think it was a large portion but part way through I knew it was more than enough! They have drink options but I always get the water that has lemon-free and free refills. The price is great too and the parking is right outside the door, when construction ends it will be in front and behind.

Mango Sweet Rice
Christine W.

SOO glad to have this yummy poke addition to the downtown Indianapolis area! Their selection of raw protein is always fresh (as is their vegetables and toppings), and they also have tofu and shrimp for those who aren't a fan of raw seafood. I always order the "Create Your Own" (CYO) poke bowl where you have an option to choose limitless amount of toppings, but they also have a variety of House poke bowls which you can select from. I also highly recommend their Mango Sweet Rice for dessert or their hot Miso soup. The Miso soup is interestingly from a machine, but it tastes exactly like the miso soup at fancy Japanese restaurants - they also throw in some green onions and tofu from their toppings bar to make it perfect! They remain open for take-out and delivery during the Stay At Home order, so make a stop in and you won't regret it.

Guava Nectar and Strawberry Orange aloha drinks posed next to bowls of poke, both are the house version order!

Amazing service! First time ever having poke and it was SO TASTY! Highly recommend the Strawberry Orange Aloha Maid drink too. Nice and quiet, hanging out with my friend, wonderful place!!!

For about $12 u can have a meal for 2 days. My create your own has :Spicy Kani, spicy tuna, scallions, pineapple, avocado, sushi rice, crunchy onions, unagi sauce and spicy mayo sauce. I'm really picky and this combo scared me but it tastes so good! Service is always nice and I love that I feel healthy when I eat it haha.

Regular Poke, loaded up!
Lewis B.

Efficient crew. Clean place etc. But the poke? Top quality. Tons of ads ons at no extra charge, mango, avacado, seaweed salad, to name a few! Brown rice! I got the marinated salmon and octopus-- wonderful. My only critique/ suggestion... please add Yellow Tail. Keep up the great work!

Does this place has regular bowls and plates? Or only the single-use ones?

I've only seen single-use bowls here, I don't think they have reusable bowls.

Night 2 in Indianapolis took us to The Fountain Room, and honestly, I'd happily go back…read more We had reservations and chose to sit in the bar area, which turned out to be a great call. The restaurant itself is really well designed--traditional meets modern in a way that somehow works. Looking at the tiles and wall coverings individually, you might think, "Oh...interesting choice." But put it all together and it's actually quite harmonious. Design math, apparently. We started with drinks. I had one of their daiquiris, and it was perfect. I'm a whiskey girl, but after some enthusiastic pours the night before, the thought of more whiskey was a hard no. The daiquiri was light, refreshing, and tasty--sweet, but not obnoxiously sweet. And most importantly, it tasted absolutely nothing like whiskey. Mission accomplished. For starters, we ordered the Brie brûlée. I was a fan. The husband was...not. Here's how you do it: take a wedge of their freshly baked toasted bread, slather on some strawberry jam, dip that glorious situation into the pistachio-dusted Brie brûlée, eat, and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. I eventually had to intervene with myself. I ordered the beet and peach salad without the beets because, well...gross. The peaches could have been a little riper, but the salad was still really good. Nicely dressed, with candied pumpkin seeds and some kind of soft herbed cheese that pulled everything together. Very tasty, and thankfully no beets were harmed in the making of my dinner. Then came the meatballs. I have never in my life had meatballs that tasted like these, and I mean that as a very good thing. They were herbaceous, tender, with just a hint of sweetness. And somehow, they kept getting better as we ate them. Especially the ones at the bottom, sitting in all that sauce. DO NOT PASS THESE UP. The husband ordered the prime rib, which he rated an 8 out of 10. High praise, friends. This man does not hand out 8s like participation trophies. Service was great, the food was genuinely enjoyable, and the whole experience was exactly what we wanted on our last night in Indy.

Not gonna lie, my work group really likes coming here when we have lunch outings. My only problem?…read moreI very much dislike seafood to any capacity. Yet, I still eat here just fine. I feel like most seafood places will have vegetarian options by way of removing the fish from pasta dishes or salad, but it's also nice to know that you can get chicken as a substitute on most of these kinds of dishes, too. Granted, it's just like chicken tenders, but still good nonetheless. I really like their firecracker pasta, which is moderately spicy in my opinion. There's no particular fishy smell here, which is always a good sign that the seafood they serve here is freshly prepared. Our food always comes out quickly for lunch and we've been a group as large as 8 or 9. I do believe that ordering is mostly done online in their mass Ave location, though. I don't really seek out a place like Slapfish on my own (no offense at all, just not a seafood girlie!!), but I would assume that it's a rather popular establishment as they recently opened a fifth location in the greater Indy area. If I did like fish and such more, I'd probably be here on a more regular rotation.

Ordered from their website (could've ordered from DD & saved $5 but I'd rather order from a local business directly than give my money to DD). The website was SO easy to use, and setting up delivery was equally as easy.
