    Love the color combination of the restaurant...clean and sleek but cozy. Tried the Spicy Tuna/Spicy Salmon bowl and was very impressed by the quality of the meat as well as the amount of food you get for the price. I loved the textures of the different vegetables- damage, sweet onions, and thinly sliced cucumbers. Enjoyed getting bites with the crunchy onions! They are very nice and service was fast. They let you customize your bowl so I added jalepenos and they had a nice kick. Everything is mixed with a sauce of your choice but I let them do what would traditionally come on this and it was evenly distributed with sweet teriyaki and spicy mayo. Added some kimchi to the side at the end....food was superb. Sushi rice was cooked perfectly. Great portions, good quality, and clean eating for a really good price. I will definitely be back to try other options...maybe a hot dish next time. Run...dont walk to try this place!!

    Sample bowl

    They lured me in with the free sample bowl. Man, all of the ingredients in that sample bowl were FRESH and super yummy. They have a huge variety of toppings and sauces that I haven't seen at other poke places in Augusta. They'll basically put whatever you want in the sample bowl for you to try, which is nice. I especially like how they put the protein, solid vegetable/fruit toppings, and sauces together in a separate tray and mix them up before placing it on top of your base. That saves me the problem I tend to run into at other poke places where my bowl is overloaded with toppings, and I have no room to mix them around to get everything I want in one bite. Portions are large. Service is solid. Got spicy salmon as my protein, and the salmon had no fishy aftertaste (which can be common in fish that have been marinating in any kind of sauce). Everything looked clean. Loved the variety of drinks and snacks/desserts they offered. Location is also fantastic since I can stop by while getting my Rx next door at Publix. Overall beautiful 5/5 will be back again!

    I have been in Augusta for six years, and this is BY FAR the best poke in the city for the best price. I was thrilled when I heard it was opening, and the place absolutely lives up to the hype. The quality of the fish and other ingredients is 10/10, and they are very generous with portions. However, the best part of this place is the owners and staff! They are absolutely wonderful and so sweet. I loved chatting with them and will definitely be back. There is ample parking and seating, and I will definitely be back!!!

    This is my favorite poke place in augusta. I stumbled upon them while going to shop at Publix. I ordered a make your own bowl with tuna and the fish tasted very fresh. I usually prefer salmon but this tuna here tasted better than the salmon. I love how they have so many toppings to choose from and a lot of sauces to pick from too. The guy making my bowl was also very nice. Price is also very reasonable for the amount of food you get!

    It's so good too

    So good! I ordered on UberEats and picked up/ate in. It was ready in under 20 minutes too

    We travel a lot, and poke places are one of our go-tos. Build Yo Poke is the best poke place we've experienced outside of Hawaii. The menu was creative and offered many options. We loved the sauce combos in the designed bowls. The build-your-own options had many different options. We were lucky to meet the owner, who is very nice and honest. You can't go wrong here!

    I've visited Augusta many times and did not see this place before. Out of all the poké places here (there isn't much) this is the best new poké place in town! Everything tastes so fresh and amazing. +My only complaint is how small the portion is for the crab. I was not expecting a mountain of crab, but as you can see in my photo the scoop size for extra crab is the same as 1 plastic spoon which is a lot less than what I expected.

    Fresh ingredients. Good price points. Had the Vegan bowl. Very tasty. Would suggest more beverage options. Not a fan of the prepackaged additional menu items. Clean restaurant.

The restaurant is aging gracefully; interiors haven't changed in some time. Servers were fast and friendly. The food is a known quantity; always good hot and tasty.

I ordered the Cali Bowl - Miso Salmon (added blackened shrimp) and fries WITH NO SALT as an APPETIZER! My buddy orders wings and a salad. His salad comes out promptly but no fries. The food comes out shortly after and he says the wings are great. Great for him! My fries finally make an appearance and are overly salty. I reminded the waitress they were requested unsalted so she took them back. By the time she'd returned with the new batch of fries, which was quite prompt, I'd mixed the ingredients of my Cali Bowl only to discover that it was lukewarm at best. The fries tasted refried, soaked with grease. The third time was a charm for the fries. I'd mentioned temperature of the bowl and although she'd offer to have it remade, it was quicker to reheat it, thus my request. It came back slightly warmer but not enough to eat. At this point, I was over it and just packed it up to take home. It wasn't the best visit but it definitely wasn't the worst. The croissants are the reason I'm sure I'll be back.

It was made of mainly green onions and not a lot of batter which is how it should be. The top and bottom was crispy. There were pieces of squid on top. It was delicious only wish they had more seafood. Sauce was great. Probably one of the best seafood pancake I've had. I'd come back just for the seafood pancake. :-) We ordered the LA galbi (short ribs). It was well marinated and tasted great! Good size portion for the price. Came with a side of lettuce with dressing. The pork bulgogi was decent portions and sweet. Meat was tender. The seafood stew has a kick. It was a bit diluted from what I'm used to with pieces of squid and couple of clams. Each of the fish came with a couple of panchans (side dishes) of fish cake, kimchi and cucumbers. Overall, great place to visit for good and fast Korean food.

The food still felt authentic and full of true Hawaiian flavor. Coming from a family with roots in the Big Island and Maui, I can appreciate when a place captures that genuine island-style taste and atmosphere. One thing that really stood out was how they start you off with fresh in-house made pork rinds, similar to how Mexican restaurants serve chips and salsa when you sit down. It was a unique and welcoming touch. We ordered the spicy poke, Spam musubis, and a mixed BBQ plate with two scoops of mac salad. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The mac salad especially had that classic island-style taste that's hard to find done right. The staff was friendly, the decor looked great, and the restaurant had a warm, inviting feel.

It soaked up every bit of flavor from the meats and tied the whole plate together. Simple, but done exactly right. The restaurant was busy, which speaks to how popular it is. The staff looked a little overwhelmed during the rush, and you could tell an extra set of hands would've helped. Even so, everyone remained friendly, worked hard, and never let the quality of the food slip. If you're willing to be a little patient during peak hours, you'll be rewarded with a meal that's absolutely worth the wait.
