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!

I ate a sushi burrito in LA in like 2019, and then couldn't stop thinking about it for years…read more Little did I know, sushi burritos exist in Indy! My friend had been telling me about her favorite bubble tea spot for months, and when we finally went, I was so happy to see they also have custom poke and sushi burritos and delicious onigiri options. The inside is super cute and was very clean when we went. Service is quick and unfussy, so this would be a great option if you need to pick up a to go order, but it's also a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch break. It's cozy and quiet so could even be a good place to work or study if you're looking off the beaten path on Mass Ave. Aside from the onigiri, most of the food is totally custom and made to order, so you can really get whatever you want. You order on a paper menu like at a sushi restaurant, picking exactly what you like--and honestly, you can go wild here. For the base price of $11.50 (for burritos and bowls), you pick your base, protein, up to two sauces, and then add as many of the mix-ins and toppings as you want. A steal, imo! There are several ways to make this vegetarian (I got tofu), and it could be gluten free, too, if you're careful about sauces. I ordered my burrito and a peach black tea with aloe jelly.

That was my mindset when I entered The Garage Food Hall at Bottleworks. I just wanted a nourishing lunch. I found that at Poke Guru. First, I have to say: I've really done a 180 on poke bowls in the Midwest! My rule has usually been to avoid raw fish in landlocked states, but that was an ignorant mindset to have. The raw fish (at least, the raw salmon) at Poke Gurus was cold and fresh and very good. I ordered The Original, which is rice with your choice of protein (I chose salmon), plus seaweed, edamame, cucumber, avocado, green onion, Kewpie mayo and pickled red onion. It was a bowl of goodness! The salmon was marinated in soy and sesame sauce, so it was very tasty. I would probably ask for a touch less sauce next time -- I like just a whisper of sauce on my poke bowls, and this one had lots of sauce. Ordering is easy: Just make your way to the touch-screen and enter what you want, and your order is sent to the people standing a couple of feet away from you, looking at you order your food on a kiosk. The good thing is: You don't have to talk to anyone! What a time to be alive. Poke Guru is a great take-out place for introverts, or people who are all people'd-out.

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.
