    Island Fin Poke offers a straightforward and enjoyable experience. When you walk in, there is a wide selection of options to customize your bowl, which makes the process feel personal rather than rushed. The ingredients were fresh and well prepared, which is essential for a place built around poke. Service was quick and efficient, making it an easy stop without sacrificing quality.

    Build Your Own Bowl (3 Scoops)
    Emily D.

    Island Fin Poké bowls have great portions, somewhat making up for its price. It's a bit difficult to order because there are special names for some ingredients, but no description on the boards/signs. I also tried to order on the online browser, but it would not accept my order. Maybe try ordering through the app instead? I'm knocking down one star just for simplicity. The service was straightforward-- the person working there was accommodating and answered any questions we asked. The atmosphere was also very straightforward. It has decorations and a theme going.

    Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl

    This is my go-to poke place, they never disappoint! I'm not gonna lie and act like I've tried a bunch of their items on the menu because I haven't, I stick to the Korean bbq chicken bowl each time because it's that's good. The ingredients taste so fresh each time and always well made. The service is very quick and I've never had a long wait for my food. The restaurant itself is very clean and the staff is friendly. Zero complaints from me!

    I've been going here for a while now, I really like the build your own bowl and even got my parents hooked on it. The service is awesome and the place itself has good vibes and a colorful color pallet. Nice place to sit and eat but also great to go.

    Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl. Wasn't bad.

    Solid place for build your own poke. We have ate at many authentic Hawaiian poke places throughout the country (including HI) and this place suffices for Central MA. They have ample parking, online ordering, and dole whip if you're into that. If you decide to visit during weekday lunch hour, parking gets pretty busy--so watch out. There's a Starbucks nearby so watch out for the crazy coffee hunters screaming through the parking lot. There's a Chipotle in the same plaza too so watch out for those DoorDashers and college kids tearing up the streets. There's a daycare within the plaza too so folks, please take it easy. Yes, going on a rant a bit but wanted to emphasize those items there. We always go with spicy tuna and it meets the needs of hunger. If you're into brown rice, they do it right at Island Fin. Many other places, brown rice tends to be dry as the Sahara. But you'll be good here. Dining in during lunch is chill enough. Good seating. Eat by yourself if you like and stare at your phone (although I don't recommend just staring at your phone). Enjoy reality a bit. Just enjoy your poke bowl and be safe... seriously.

    Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl*

    I had never tried a poke bowl before this but now the standards are quite high! The freshness of every ingredient was simply unforgettable and the size was enough for two meals! I ordered it as takeout but I was still impressed with the service (how well it was packed and prepared). I can't wait to try more bowls!

    The best poke bowls anywhere! Just spent 9 months in Hawaii and these are better. Always fresh ingredients and piled high, consistently delicious. Outstanding service and cleanliness. Owners make you feel valued and welcomed everytime. Come experience it for yourself you'll love it.

    Good quick meal. I got the 3 protein bowl ahi, salmon spicy Tuna on top of greens. High protein.

    Dole Soft Serve
    Lein And Bein N.

    Island Fin Poke is always so consistent! The fish always tastes fresh and the ingredients are abundant. Also, the bowl portions are quite generous. The flavor of the dole soft serve changes each time we go so it's great being able to try a new flavor each time. The staff is also great about accommodating for my sesame allergy. 5/5.

    I tried this place for the first time and I really liked it! They had a good amount of options, the staff is extremely friendly and on top of that they have dole whip! The protein selection is fresh and they have many different topping and sauces to pick from. I've had the dole whip from Disney Land and I have to say, this place dole Whip isn't like Disney but it's pretty damn close! This place is a must try!

    Build Your Own Bowl Pokebowl with an Orange Dole Whip Cup.
    Vu T.

    I was looking for a place that I can order ahead, set a pickup time, and quickly get food within a small window for a work meeting. Island Fin Poke was very convenient with the online ordering on their website. It was my first time here and I was excited to try it out. I chose to build my own Spicy Tuna Pokebowl and the online selections made it very easy. There were also a variety of add-on options to compliment the entree. I chose white rice and spring mix, spicy tuna, furikaki, corn, OG sauce, cucumber, togarashi, sesame seed, chili flake, sea salt, crispy onion, roasted garlic, and Nori strip. Keep in mind that all bowls come with 3 scoops of protein of your choice. I couldn't leave the order without also getting a Dole Whip Cup! I got the Orange flavor to try out. I drove to the location and the store was nestled inside a nice plaza with large parking lot. I was able to park right up front. I went inside to pick up my food at my selected time of 12:00 pm. They were just finishing up dispensing the Dole Whip into the cup. They were right on time! Note: you can specify curbsideside pickup on their website or even call when you arrive and they'll bring it to your car. The pokebowl turned out to be absolutely delicious and filling! I like a little heat/spice, so the Spicy Tuna Poke was perfect. The Orange Dole Whip was a great way to end the meal. I definitely recommend ordering from here with the order ahead option and selecting the most convenient pickup time for you. The food will be most likely be prepared closer to your time to remain fresh. Enjoy!

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile and finally got a chance to today! Masks are required and there are four outdoors tables. You pick your base and protein and toppings in sort of an assembly line fashion. We went at the lunch hour so they were working on online orders in between in-person customers. It looks like they are doing great business during the pandemic. The owner explained what different flavor each of the sauces were since my "poke artist" was a little newer. Everything tasted super fresh... I liked this place better than Atlantic Poke in Shrewsbury. There are so many choices that anyone is bound to be happy with the final product. I would definitely come back!

    I've been to many poke places and this one is bar far the best. I was a little apprehensive when I…read morewas driving there as the neighborhood is really rough and sort of scary, but this place is very clean, offers high quality fish and food and does a great job of providing delicious poke options at a great price! I loved the taro tea and the poke bowl. The only thing I would say that was negative is they don't give enough raw fish in the two (2) scoops it comes with (they're tiny), so I was forced to pay for an extra scoop of raw fish to make it plentiful. Also, avocado shouldn't be an extra $1-$1.50 charge as it's supposed to be a core component of a poke bowl. Holy Poke should consider that it's competitors all offer a larger quantity of raw fish and avocado for free, which gives other a leg up on them. That said, the customer service was great, the place was very clean and nice looking and everything was fresh and incredibly delicious!!!

    Food: I've always order their poke bowls and it's been pretty solid, super filling, which this…read moretime, it was to the brim. Loads of different options and topping to customize your bowl. Sometimes, it can be inconsistent depending on who was packing up the order but I still enjoy it nonetheless. I do like their span misubi, its not too saly but I think the spam is like a little thin for the portion of rice. I have tried thier other appetizers like the gyoza, tsunami fries which are good when they're freshly made but perhaps a little dry at other times. Milk teas are okay, I think it's because it's powder flavor tea, its not my favorite. Service: Staff is friendly and quick on getting your order together. Ambiance: It's a much smaller place with perhaps 6 seatings? It's cute inside but I wouldn't hang out for too long. It's more like you go inside, grab your food and head out kind of place Location accommodation: Very limited parking on the street side, and it's in front of a interesting intersection.

However, a lot of "spices". I ended up requesting more ginger beer and lime to cut it. That helped. But overall good quality drink. The Atlantic salmon crudo was very interesting. Nothing close to what I expected. It was gross. Really thick salmon over globs of a black garlic aioli. The ratio was so off. It was so pasty. I am shocked they haven't reviewed that item on their menu. Usually crudos are so nice and light. This was not. The wild Spanish octopus was the better of the three dishes. Just needed some more salt. Or more of the chorizo would have sufficed. I was surprised that this place was nothing like it used to be. Will not be back :(
