    This place was pretty good. They have a lot of protein options including chicken for those that don't like raw fish. My fish was fresh and the perfect thing to get on a super hot day like today. The service was wonderful. The gentleman helping me was very pleasant and helpful. I elected to eat at the restaurant and he brought me over a pineapple mango dole whip sample and it was soooooooo good. A must try!!!!

    I love me a good pokey bowl. I tried this place today and I love the fact that they have pineapple to add and sweet heat. Sweet and spicy is my go to flavor. I'd recommend. I love you can make it your own way.

    Lobster Roll

    I've been here many times since we moved to Elk Grove, and I mainly come for their Fire Poke Nachos. I'll occasionally order the Lobster Roll for my kid. The nachos come with a choice of one protein, and I always choose salmon. They're loaded with spicy tuna, spicy mayo, hot sauce, surimi crab, jalapeños, and habanero masago. I usually remind them to go light on the sauce since there's already plenty. I also like to add furikake, garlic chips, and seaweed on top. I usually order this to go and eat it at home, and it tastes just as good as when eaten fresh at the restaurant. They also offer catering. They catered my friend's husband's 40th birthday party, and the oysters were a big hit. Overall, this is a solid spot for fresh poke especially their Fire Poke Nachos.

    Large Poke Bowl (5 scoops)

    I've lessened my visits to poke establishments since I feel the price for poke bowls overall has gotten fairly high, but decided to come back here since they were offering 20% off for Elk Grove restaurant week. Place was completely empty at around 7pm on a Thursday. The guy behind the register was super welcoming, the food area was clean, and the fish looked to be of decent quality (no funky colors with the tuna). I got five proteins since it was only $2 more and made sure to keep the marinated options separate from the fresh ones so I could preserve the individual flavors. I pretty much add everything possible into my bowl, and the person helping me didn't seem to lessen the portions as I kept adding. The bowls here seem wider than other places, so my ingredients didn't seem cramped either. The facility was extremely clean, and since it's nearby I'll probably come back on the off chance I have the urge to get another poke bowl. It's only a couple more dollars than sushi rolls so I guess the price isn't really that bad.

    Hokee Pokee had their grand reopening yesterday! The outside was decorated with cute balloons and they have a pretty wall for pictures! I visited during lunch at around 12PM and it was busy. I was surprised to see that they were giving 50% off each regular poke bowl, which is why it was so popular that afternoon. I am glad there was a limit to 1 bowl per person because more people can get a change to enjoy the food and not hold up the line with a big order that takes advantage of the deal. The line was almost out the door, but it moved fast because they were well prepared with lots of great, friendly workers. The portions are okay and the fish looked fresh! I should have gotten the spicy salmon and Hawaiian tuna because the seasonings looked delicious and I watched as they restocked it. Since I already said triple scoops of regular salmon and didn't want to mess with the employee's work flow, I decided to stick with my decision. They use an ice cream scooper for the proteins. When the worker was scooping the fish, I noticed sometimes that they did not do full scoops. I'm not the type of person to say anything about it and will take what I can get. They give a good amount of sauce with their pump dispenser. I got ponzu and original shoyu. I heard from the person in front of me that it will cost extra for a third one. For my additional toppings I got edamame, crab salad, masago, cucumber, onions, mac salad, and dried seaweed. The rice was very hot and I feel like I can taste rice vinegar, but I'm not too sure if the acidity is from the ponzu sauce. Overall, the food was pretty good after I mixed everything in. It would have been even better with more salmon, because near the end of the meal all I had was some rice with sauce.

    They don't honor their Happy Hour...I got their Aloha Poke Nachos on a Wednesday at 3pm and they didn't give me the 10% off discount and charged me regular price. They also put an overwhelming amount of toppings like seaweed salad and initiation crab to hide the fact that they give you little to no fish. While the worker was slowly scooping the fish in the bowl, he said that he could actually ring me up for it first before he even started making it. Kinda sus if you asked me.... I don't think he wanted me to see him make it. I swear he took some poke out the bowl. When I got it, I tried to look for all the pieces of fish and could barely find any. The amount I got, I could count on one hand...literally only 5 pieces of fish, and I'm being so serious. The wonton chips are super crunchy, like too crunchy. It's hard and hurts to eat because it felt like it was shredding the roof of my mouth. Anyways, I don't think I'll ever come here ever again. Not worth it for the price at all.

    Place was clean , food was good and the guys working when I went were VERY nice and personable which I appreciate! I gave a 4 stars because they have avocado listed at the very end of their topping area on a sticky tab (you can't see the avocado) so I asked if I can have some and he said he needed to get it from the back, I agreed but then he closed my bowl up and acted busy for a second.. I was in hurry so didn't push the issue but come on guys, advertising avocado but then don't want to serve it up, why even list it at that point ?!

    The food overall had good taste. There was a long hair in my food and the avacado I paid extra for was old and brown. Disappointed as this was an expensive DoorDash order.

    Great poke, great service, Hawaiian Ahi done right, and they serve dole whip! There were a ton of mix ins and choices and the bowls were huge. Don't forget to add the tempura crisps. 10/10

    Came here for late lunch with my cousin wanting to explore some new places and it was good! I wouldn't say it's the best poke you could get but I would come back if I was in the area. It seemed a little pricey to me compared to other spots in the greater Sacramento area, but the fish was fresh and tastes good. I had tried the spicy tuna and it wasn't too spicy but had a nice kick. The restaurant was clean and staff were nice. We sat outside since the weather was good.

    Atmosphere is cozy and warm, have a photobooth section where you can check in as well ! A lot of FRESH topping for only $35, we have to split it out 2 meals, service is nice, the new owner, Kenneth and his staff are really friendly and passionate about this business. The remake is real and I wish them the best. Highly recommend !

    Aunt was craving for some poke after a long road trip. Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. It was a very quiet evening, but that just means no line. I had to order for everyone since they don't know what they want, 3 regulars. The fish looked fresh and the staff were very patient with our orders as they were preparing for online orders as well. Overall, it wasn't bad. If I were to do it again, I'd have them put less sauce. I was overwhelmed and eventually became too salty for my taste. The fam thought so as well. The ratio between what was given and the price, I thought it was a bit too much - from what I'm used to in LA or Hawaii. $76 for 3 regulars. We could get a nice Chinese family dinner at a restaurant. So this is a one time thing for us.

    50% off reg poke bowl at grand re-opening

    Been going here for years until one day I showed up and there was a sign on the door that said it was reopening soon under new managment. Nothing on any socials that I could find mentioned it and no hours were updated but I was willing to excuse that. The resturant has a more modern vibe to it now which made me a little sad but still no bid deal. However when i got the 50% poke bowl today at grand reopening I wasn't impressed. They used to measure their fish scoops with a scale. Now they dont and I got way less fish than i'm normally used to. Got maybe 9 edamame beans, hard nearly inedible avocado, and a couple bites of seaweed. On top of that their soda machine is still out of order, and the bottled sodas they have aren't cold either so I had to ask for a cup for ice. The rice and fish tasted alright but the shrimp they use now is tiny comparatively. They also removed yellowtail from the menu. Also kinda sad that they dont seperate the ingredients in the bowl like they used to. I think the old method gave for a nicer eating experience and presentation. Overall its just very different from the hokee poke I used to love and it didnt feel like they were grand opening ready. Ill probably swing by again in a few months to see if anything has improved.

My mom needed to eat healthier so they swapped the rice for steamed veggies on her wok/stir fry dish, and reduced the house sauce. I had the chicken lemongrass dish and I liked that the lemongrass was chopped finely. I tried the pho broth that someone else got and it was OK, but not my favorite in town. My favorite thing about this place so far is the ability to upgrade or customize. For example you can add veggies instead of or in addition to rice, and you can swap vermicelli for garlic noodles or garlic rice in your bun dish. The staff was very helpful if a bit busy. We would come back to try other dishes if we're in the area.

The servers were dressed as flight attendants. They were all well-groomed and very hospitable.

I brought my two kids for brunch before church because we actually meant to go next door to the bakery, then saw this place was open, so we decided, why not? We are so glad we did. The place is so clean and gives you the ambiance of flying on a first-class luxury plane. To get the full experience, you should order your own dish because, just like a luxury flight, everyone will get their own individual starters and drinks. The flight attendants, a.k.a. servers, were all so sweet and had great customer service. The food came out very well presented. We will definitely come here again. Great for a special occasion. And the prices are actually very reasonable. Get the Japanese bento box if you go there for brunch because it came out looking way better than the picture. In fact, it was so much better, I wouldn't have used the picture they used for their menu. Because if I saw a picture of what I actually received, then I would've ordered it immediately.

    It's been a hot second since I've been here, but I've been here at least twice now! The first time…read morewas at least around the pandemic time. This time I came with my mom. I remembered the kapoon being generously sized and delicious, and the nam khao also being solid. My mom hadn't had these dishes before, so we decided to order these. My mom also hadn't had stuffed wings before, and I hadn't had it here before, so we also got that. To start, service here was exceptional. The young gentleman greeted us when we came in, and he was great at communication. There were times he was busy as it was the lunch hour, but he made sure to let us know that he didn't forget about us. We had asked for more time to look over the menu, but he had to get stuff for another table, and he basically told us he would be right with us. I haven't seen this basic communication at other places in a while, and definitely noticed. He was also very attentive and asked us preemptively if we were sharing the kapoon and that they could split it up into two bowls for us, instead of having us split it ourselves. Dishes we had: - Kapoon: Despite it being split into two bowls, it was still generously sized. Lots of chicken pieces, lots of noodles. The soup was flavorful on it's own. There's also quail eggs. They give you a side of lime, mint, bean sprouts, and shredded cabbage. - Nam Khao: Slightly on the saltier side, but it was still good. Great texture. It comes with cucumbers and a couple leaves of lettuce. Wished there was a bit more lettuce to wrap the nam khao in, and also a bit of lime on the side. We used our leftover lime for this dish. You can get fermented pork on the side, which the server quickly asked and I almost didn't process what he said, but I said yes to it. It was a packaged stick of fermented pork with a chili that you can cut with scissors and gloves they provide to you. The gloves might not be necessary if you cut the packaging and then cut the fermented pork stick straight from the packaging (trying to save the business some expenses!) - Stuffed wing: Delicious! Very flavorful. You can taste the lime leaf flavor in there. It tastes amazing with the sweet chili sauce. They can also give you another sauce on the side (didn't catch it), but it adds a bit of moisture and extra flavor with the sauce. The chicken skin had a nice slight crisp and chew to it. It comes with pickled veggies. They do have a lunch specials version of this that comes with rice, and I think rice on the side would be nice with this. It's $1 for the rice on the side with other extra things to the lunch special. The rest of the menu has definitely expanded since the pandemic to include soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, ice cream, happy hour and lunch specials. I am curious about their sandwiches and some of their other soups, and would love to come back soon!

Those were probably the best parts of the meal and what I enjoyed the most. The Beef Larb was a little too tough for my liking. It felt slightly overcooked and just wasn't the texture I was expecting. The Chow Fun noodles were also way too soft for my preference. I like my noodles with a little more texture, so these didn't really do it for me. Overall: 3/5 For what we ordered, $80 felt pretty expensive, especially considering the food was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but for that price, I expected to be more impressed. Would I go back? Probably not anytime soon. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but based on this experience, it just wasn't worth the $80 for me.

The food isn't like mind blowing, but definitely a great choice if you want something kinda quick, good, and affordable.

    I had their food when I was with my family at the filipino festival in Elk Grove on Saturday. We…read morehad the short ribs over rice, chicken katsu over rice, pancit, and 2 orders of lumpia. The food was delicious! Our favorite was the short ribs. Would definitely order again.

    Food was decent overall…read more Pancit was decent. No complaints. It had a light flavor. I liked that it wasn't overly oily. Shrimp was plain. The chicken was a bit dry. Lumpia was delicious. Chicken skewer over rice - the broccoli needs some sort of seasoning. Or just steam. It was just too dry. Chicken was okay. Rice was rice. A little pricey for what you get. My biggest complaint would be the service. It was at a nearby business. And there were postings 11am to 2pm. Got there at 11. They weren't ready. The guy said come back in 20 or so minutes. Came back and he was starting to get ready. But while he's cooking and preparing, there's no one else to take orders. So it just stalls. That's probably my biggest problem is the poor planning. I appreciate the attempt to serve us all and being nice and friendly, but it impacts the experience. And I typically give food trucks a lot of grace.

    Saigon Oi is located in the heart of South Sac's Little Saigon district…read more Parking can be tight so what hubby did was drop us off while he circled the complex. It's a pretty popular restaurant so joining the waitlist on Yelp helps to get in the queue. When we got there, we were already on the Yelp waitlist so our wait wasn't really long. For this visit, we had the following: Dishes - Ribeye steak and Vietnamese shaking beef, Crispy Fish Sauce chicken wings both served with red rice. Drinks - Kumquat lemongrass tea and coconut coffee Their food is really good, reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and friendly, definitely provided great service. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Simply decorated. There's a small space for waiting customers. Definitely highly recommended when you're in this area but be prepared for the wait especially on a high peak day like the weekends. August 2026

    Taste was good, service was fine, I think they were having family about 1 hour before close…read more Only bad thing was my steak was very undercooked, I asked for medium rare and it was blue. I let the waiter know and I figured they would just make a new one, but they came back with the exact steak (I've cut them as I thought it might have been just some pieces that were blue.) but it was the exact steak just thrown on the fire for longer then returned back to me. Weird choice by the chef.
