    It was my first time here, and I'm so glad I stopped by! The new owner (she's Vietnamese) was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She even mentioned inviting me back when she gets fresh eggs from her chicken farm. I got the tofu poke bowl, which was super fresh and packed to the rim. The tea was delicious too, with a subtle hint of kumquat that made it extra refreshing (she doesn't always add kumquat). You can tell the new owner really cares about her food and customers. I'll definitely be coming back!

    At the top is a bowl I got tonight, bottom is a bowl I got a while ago. Notice the fish portion size has significantly decreased.

    Updating my review on this place. This was a *solid* 5 stars for years. My husband and I have been coming since it opened and their quality and portion size was unmatched. Sure it was a little pricey but well worth it. The last two times we've visited (including tonight) we've gotten the smallest portions of fish. The first time it happened, I thought it could be a one-off. However, this time confirms they have heavily reduced portion sizes without reducing the price. The picture I attached has a comparison of the bowl I got tonight (top) vs a bowl I got a couple years ago. I'm hoping they can make this right and go back to their original portion sizes, because this really used to be the best poke in Austin and one I recommended to everybody.

    TLDR: Sweetest owners who truly care, though the menu is limited. Service: Epic Poke is a charming mom-and-pop spot with unique hours and plenty of heart. You can order via touchscreen or directly from the owners, who are always gentle and kind. Once, I arrived for a late lunch only to find the shop closed, but an owner promptly came to the door, took our order, and in return, asked if we could take our meal to-go. On another visit, we brought our two huskies to the small patio, and the owners eagerly asked if they could have some human food. Moments later, our huskies were enjoying a meal alongside us. Food: You'll find Korean influences in Epic Poke's cuisine, such as their signature purple rice and sauces. While the options are limited (few additions/toppings, no brown rice), the owners' genuine care makes all the difference.

    Epic Poke is my go-to poke spot. I get the OG bowl which has a combination of tuna and salmon poke, shredded cabbage, sweet corn, green onion, edamame, ginger, sweet potato glass noodles (slurpy and so good!), forbidden rice, drizzled with a medium spicy red sauce, and crunchy onion and furikake topping. So delicious and super filling! There are iPad kiosks to place your order, which you can fully customize. You can also order ahead of time on their website, and your order will be waiting for you on time, as promised!

    5 stars This place has officially ruined all other poke spots for me. I truly come here every Monday! First off, the portion sizes are insanely generous. You get a mountain of fresh fish and toppings, and they never skimp, even during busy hours. I've been here multiple times now and every bowl is as loaded and delicious as the last. The consistency is what really sets them apart, same quality, same care, every single visit. The owners are amazing! super friendly, warm, and clearly passionate about what they do. They greet you with a smile, remember returning customers, and make the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's something they genuinely care about. Toppings are always fresh, the fish is high quality, and everything is perfectly balanced. Whether you're building your own bowl or picking one of their signature creations, you can't go wrong. Epic Poke lives up to its name. It's my go-to lunch spot now, and honestly, it deserves all the love and more

    A friend recommended Epic Poke to me, and as a loyal poke enthusiast, I knew I had to give it a try! I came by on a Friday at noon and there was no line. I placed my order on one of the tablets and watched them make my bowl to order and with care. Service was quick, easy, simple, and the women working behind the counter were very kind. Overall, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, crisp, bright, and flavorful. I love that glass noodles are an option - you don't get those at most poke places! It was a bit on the pricier end (starts at $17.95, and some toppings are extra), but the portion is quite generous and very filling! All in including tip, I spent $25. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, ample parking in the shopping center/office building area. - Online orders? Yes, you can order ahead online. - Vegetarian options? Yes, tofu or no protein options are available. - Indoor seating? Yes, the space is larger than it looks from the outside and has plenty of indoor seating! FOOD RATING: I ordered a build your own bowl with rice and glass noodles as my base, almost all of the veggie options, salmon and tuna, crab salad (extra $), all of the toppings, and Korean chili sauce and ponzu sauce. I added my own avocado at home! Overall, it was a heavy bowl stuffed with colorful, fresh veggies and nice, meaty chunks of fish. Great flavor from the sauces and a fair portion of protein. Worth trying if you're a poke enthusiast!

    Consistently my favorite poke in the city! Ingredients are so fresh, fish is wild caught, and I love the Korean twist! I always get the Korean chili sauce & sweet potato noodles. We easily spend $45 on just two bowls... buuut it is the best there is in Austin

    Build your own with everything as an option and salmon and ahi
    Angela M.

    I definitely enjoyed my bowl more the second time. Perhaps because I just had them load up on everything or because I did it as a Togo. I enjoyed the rice as well. Everything else was very fresh and packaged with care.

    When I moved to Austin, Epic Poke was one of the first places I had wanted to go to grab a bite to eat. But it was a Sunday, so they were closed. But then, later on in the week, I was able to order one of their poke bowls through their website. Since then, I've had the opportunity to eat here and introduce others to this establishment countless times. Their menu has changed over time, but they have stayed very consistent with their ingredients and preparation. For protein, they offer tuna and salmon, chicken and shrimp, tofu, and recently, unagi. Other than protein, each bowl comes with a healthy serving of a variety of colorful veggies and crunchy bits, glass noodles, and rice. You can also opt to add additional toppings or extra protein. The bowls have some weight to them and are filling. The owners are friendly enough to recognize you and learn your name if you come here enough. The seating area for eating in is quite cozy. A large mural of Austin adorns one of the walls, and potted plants hang out by the windows. If you're looking at this place solely for poke, their rendition of poke might not be anything particularly special compared to places specializing in creating different flavor variants of poke. But overall, the consistency in their combination of preparation of ingredients and the care used to construct their bowls, makes this place a solid option for a satisfying meal.

    I was expecting better quality food before coming here. As a self-proclaimed poke connoisseur myself, this did not meet my standards. The salmon didn't taste very fresh (the shrimp was delicious though). The toppings and sauces weren't very flavorful either. Overall, a decent, uninteresting experience for my taste buds. Service was decent--not much employee interaction and they don't bring the food to you if you dine in either. The best part of the experience was the ambiance. Very peaceful atmosphere!

    Was on the hunt for a good poke spot since I recently moved to Austin and saw a lot of good reviews about this place. Food was good but a little overpriced in my opinion. I wish they would have added more salmon and sauce to my bowl. Service was great though!

    Keanna M.

    If you are from California like me, this is just okay poke. It's not bad, but nothing to rave about in my opinion. I was visiting Austin on a work trip, was trying to keep it light, and this was a quick drive from the office. The fish was okay (I wish there was more), the sauces were okay (I should have gotten extra), and the rice was not sushi rice? Interesting. It was good/okay. So that's why I gave it 3 stars. I don't really know what else to say about it.

    See all

    Let's get this straight: I absolutely love all things sushi & poke. When it comes to marinated fish…read moreatop rice, greens, and other accoutrements, I'd like to think I've sampled a hallowed range of poke in my time. From the original Sushirrito in San Francisco, to Foodland's poke fare in the islands of Hawaii - I've been there and done all the things. So I'd like to think I know what good poke tastes like: fish tasty enough to eat on its own, sauce that complements rather than overpowers, and just the right amount and flavor of toppings to bring a unique twist to each bowl. One can get a little nerdy about raw fish and I hope to submit my master's thesis one day. Customization is an integral part of the poke experience, and who am I to tell you what to order. Some people don't even put any sauce on their raw fish - and like pope Francis said "who am I to judge that person?" But I simply could not, in good conscience, leave without suggesting this absolute banger, slap my knee, mmh mmh mmmmh, finger lickin good, ask the host for the recipe, delicious poke burrito. It's seriously the best poke item I have eaten in I can't even remember how long. Regular pokerrito Hot Cheetos seaweed wrap Classic ahi tuna + salmon Sweet ginger sauce Edamame, red cabbage, half portion of seaweed salad, mango Drizzle of wasabi Aioli Furikake, tempura crisps 5/5 I'd go out of my way to visit this establishment again

Poke (pronounced poh kay) is a traditional Hawaiian dish made with cubed raw fish, usually tuna or salmon, served over rice or greens and topped with sauces and fresh mixed ingredients. The word poke means to cut or to slice in Hawaiian, which describes how the fish is prepared. At Poke House, the build your own bowl format allows customers to fully customize their meal. You choose a base such as white rice, brown rice, salad greens, or a mixed combination, then add proteins like ahi tuna, salmon, shrimp, or tofu, followed by sauces and toppings such as seaweed salad, avocado, edamame, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo. This customization makes poke approachable for new and experienced poke connoisseurs. Poke House Austin's strengths are its freshness and quality. The restaurant has high quality fish with generous portions. For new poke fans, salmon is always a good starter for new poke fans. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, making it pleasant to linger. Poke House Austin was a great place to try poke or enjoy it on a regular basis.

I got 1 lb of…read moreahi tuna for $19 and 1 lb of salmon for $23, which felt like a much better deal than most poke spots charging $15+ for a bowl with just a few bites of fish. If you actually want a solid portion of poke, this is a great option. What I liked: The salmon was very fresh - I ordered The OG salmon poke, and it was flavorful and well-marinated. The fish had a nice, smooth texture and absorbed the soy sauce and sesame oil well. No weird aftertaste or fishiness--just fresh, clean flavors. Portions are generous - A full pound of fish made for a very satisfying meal, which isn't always the case with poke. If you don't want rice or fillers, ordering by weight is the way to go. What I didn't love: Ahi tuna wasn't as fresh - It started off tasting fine, but as I kept eating, I noticed a slight fishy taste, especially in the middle portion. Not terrible, but not the best either. Next time, I'd skip the tuna and just get salmon if that cannot be improved. Seasoning is strong and a bit oily for me. The marinade is on the heavier side, with a lot of soy sauce and sesame oil. It's flavorful, but personally, I prefer a lighter touch so the fish itself can stand out more. If you're used to milder poke, this might be a bit much. I was just looking for a simple, no-frills poke spot, and this is a solid choice. The salmon was great, the value was good, and the flavors were bold. Not sure about service since I chose delivery.

FAST FACTS: * Parking - located in a shopping center with a large parking lot * Online ordering - available for pickup on their website * Nutrition information - available on their website * Weekly specials - check their website or social media for updates * Rewards program - join for free and earn points to redeem for free bowls PRICING - The total was $32.45 after tax ($2.47) but before tip for 2 regular poke bowls (2 scoops of protein each).

SAUCES - Choices include house, spicy house, Korean chili, soy ponzu, garlic miso, sweet ginger, sesame shoyu, and citrus. Descriptions and nutrition information for each can be found on their website. MIX-INS - Choices include corn, cilantro, crab, cucumber, edamame, jalapeños, onion, pineapple, red cabbage, scallions, and seaweed salad.

You can choose any or all of the toppings included with the price of your bowl. I absolutely LOVE how customizable the bowls are!
