I didn't have time to break for lunch today so when my friend offered to pick something up, I let…read morehim make the choice. And, oh boy what a choice. First off, I do love poke. Fresh, tasty, plenty yummy! Today's bowl of salmon was perfect. Tons of different textures with crunch, julienned cucumber, firm edamame, soft rice and lots and lots of salmon. No question, a filling and satisfying meal. Looking for something yummy? Hawaii Poke all the way! [Review 20465 overall - 121 in Minnesota - 1445 of 2023.]

Very convenient location near the lake with plenty of parking and other things to check out nearby…read more Upon entering, it was very bright and welcoming. It was a little confusing at first but glancing at the large menu of options to build your perfect poke bowl, it was a little easier to maneuver. You pick your rice or greens base, protein(s), veggies, sauce, and other fresh toppings that I'm sure will not disappoint. The service was great and with my many questions, they were willing to answer them. There is plenty of space to sit inside by yourself or in a group. I had a salad with tuna and all the veggies and it was reasonably priced for all I got. Depending on how hungry (or generous lol) you are, this would easily be shared with another person.

Delicious and affordable poke downtown! I had some time to kill in between apartment tours and a…read moreUMN admitted students event when I came across JJ's Poke. I got a medium bowl (2 proteins) for $14. That price is the cheapest I've had for poke both here and in CA! Love that they have slips to indicate the items you want in the bowl. Luckily it wasn't busy when I was there but I'm sure filling out the slips are helpful during peak hours. I got my bowl a few mins after ordering and the employee appreciated my business. Like many poke places, JJ's has a rewards program I signed up for. If I go to UMN, I'm sure I will be a regular as poke is often my go-to meal when I'm out and don't have time to stop at home.

Got the rainbow bowl who's had 3 different fish so that was fun to try. It was a food first bowl to try. You can choose different bases and the quinoa was well cooked.

I don't know how to rate this place. I came here for a healthier option but I just couldn't get…read moreover the texture and taste. The seafood/fishy taste did not mesh well with me for some reason and I don't mind seafood at all. I got the dragon bowl: the eel sauce was overpowering and the bowl was mushy. I do like the idea you can create your own bowl and they do have chicken as an option. It is a big portion of food. I also tried the blueberry blast smoothie and it was disappointing. It tasted like an old mushy banana. Service and parking and seating is easy.

Note, I usually get it "less sweet" from Sencha, and I really like that at Pa, you can specify the actual percentage of sugar. I ordered mine at 25% and thought it was perfect (a little sweeter than a normal latte, if you are trying to gauge what percentage to order). We got the salmon lover bowl and the , as well as the squid salad. The bowls were good, but I am definitely glad I added double fish, because there was a lot of rice and other things and I wanted more fish. I also will probably ask for more spicy mayo next time, because it was a little bland. However, there was definitely enough food, I didn't need more to eat, and I really liked the mix-ins. The texture of the squid salad was great, and I would recommend giving it a try, I just didn't care for the sauce (no reason, just wasn't to my taste). This is a casual dining place. There are a few tables, but it's not a big space. The service was good, and everything made it into our takeout order.

The store said they opened at 11am but doors weren't actually unlocked until 11:20am which in the cold winter weather seemed longer than that. When the store opened, I ordered a Thai tea bubble tea and built my own poke bowl with 2 proteins- unagi (eel) and spicy poke. Both were pretty good. The eel melted in my mouth and the spicy tuna was tasty but I was expecting chunks of tuna rather than ground tuna that was served.

PROs: ++ I love that you write your order on a piece of paper. This really helps to ensure you get what you want for your dish. They have separate sheets for what you're ordering - rice bowl, poke bowl, etc... ++ My bowl was assembled FAST and everything tasted delicious! The crab salad and seaweed salad were some of the best I've had. ++ Spam Musubi. Oh yes! They have it and it is delicious. I was so excited to find that a single order contained two pieces. Yum! If you haven't tried it - you must! ++ They are offering online ordering and delivery through their website. CONs: -- The only drawback I experienced was that they are still not allowing indoor dinning. Kind of a bummer since everywhere else I had gone during my visit was back open in full-force. I did find some benches a little ways up the block to sit and enjoy my meal. I make my way to Minnesota annually for my besties birthday, and I will gladly make my way back to The Cove to get my poke fix! **Pro Tip: They also offer sushiritos, banh mi, a variety of different bowls, and more!

I think the quality is solid and the portion sizes are generous! The missing star is to account for the inconsistency. Sometimes a level 2 spice level is perfect and sometimes it's wayyyy to much. Sometimes they add lots of fish, sometimes just a few pieces. I think it just depends on who is working that day. I think they could improve on staff training to improve consistency. Despite this, I find myself coming back to this delicious spot for a quick and filling lunch! It's definitely worth going and trying out! I also think the fusion theme is awesome - they have sushiritos, banh mi, rice bowls, steam buns, sambusas, burgers, etc! It's a pretty impressive variety.

I was impressed with their updated (since I had last gone in 2020) way of ordering food, you take a slip of paper and mark down how you want to customize your poke bowl. Gone are the days of long lines of people who don't know exactly what they want and allows people to order their food at their own pace. Once I submitted my slip, I had my food prepared in under 10 minutes (5 other people were ahead of me). The dining room is very simple, they have a few tables with benches and the lighting is bright. Definitely a place I'd go back to just because the quality of the food is incredible
