Delicious and affordable poke downtown! I had some time to kill in between apartment tours and a UMN 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. read more

I frequent JJ's Poke. The food has always been fresh and delicious. I have tried many different combos and love them all. I highly suggest signing up for the rewards program. I have saved money on my orders from the rewards I earn. When you enter there is a table with papers for you to place your order on if you are doing a customized bowl. Then you bring your order to the staff to place it. The staff is always pleasant and friendly and the place is clean every time I stop in. read more

This is my FAVORITE place to get a chicken rice bowl. There are so many customizable options!! My favorite combo always includes some teriyaki and or yum yum sauce, and avocado!! The chicken is always well cooked and the rice sticky. But, my favorite thing from here is the chicken bun. It's my favorite piece of food in the twin cities!! The chicken is so crispy, soft on the inside, balanced with the lettuce, sweet sauce, and cucumbers provides the best balance of flavors and textures!! The bun is also so soft and fresh!! The service is always so quick, whether I order in restaurant or from door dash!! It's a casual place and there's lot of room to sit down or wait!! Highly recommend this place!! read more

I ordered from the NE Mpls location through Uber Eats. This was my first time trying JJ's Poke. The pictures on the website were very inviting, however, it was misleading. I ordered the steak bowl. The flavor was ok, but that's primarily because of the added yum yum sauce. I'll admit to being a carnivore, but regardless, there was hardly any meat added. The steak pieces were very small and a bit tough. The bowl consisted mostly of rice, and I'm not a fan of that. I more than likely will not order again. read more

JJ's Poke is the best poke bowl place in Minnesota. The salmon is so fresh and chilled perfectly on top of brown or white rice, which are both delicious. When you walk in you grab a paper and fill in your order. Once done, hand that to the cashier and boom! Quick and friendly service so I would definitely recommend. I get mine to go but there are tables to sit at if you want to eat inside. Parking was full on the meters on the street and they don't have a parking lot. I parked by Burrito Loco and walked over 2 blocks. The parking was 75 cents for 15 minutes. read more

I parked across the street from JJ's Poke when I was in Dinkytown. This poke place intrigued me so much that I decided to grab lunch here. It's takeout only. It is also a family-run eatery. Mom was behind the counter and her daughter was playing at a table. I looked at the menu. It has poke bowls and ramen. That's my kind of eatery! I felt like poke, so I went with the rainbow bowl. It had salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallions, masago mix with garlic soy yuzu, seaweed salad, crab salad, cucumber, avocado, edamame, tamago, and lemon zest. I asked for mixed greens. The woman said that it would take five minutes. Wow! I paid with a credit card. I tipped. All good. Sure enough, she was done with my order in five minutes. She put my food in a paper bag with handles. I thanked her and left. I ate my food immediately in my car. I had lots of time before my parking time would expire. I also hadn't eaten in my rental car before. The poke bowl was excellent. Everything was so fresh. She was generous with all ingredients in my bowl. It was so tasty. Who knew that the Twin Cities would be a hot spot for poke? I know now. I'd love to return and check out the ramen next. However, with such a great poke experience, I may stick with it forever. This place dishes out top-notch poke in Dinkytown. There is also a location in Edina to keep in mind when I'm in that part of the city. (479) read more

Bowl was really good. I marked my sheet with a gluten allergy and only ordered gluten free things but still somehow got glutened. I'll probably try once more to see if it was just a fluke, but I am dissatisfied. read more

Their poke maybe good, but the ramen is way below average for the price they charge. $16 for kimchi ramen and the broth seems to be made with a soup powder at best. Yes, it is a "poke" place, but half of their menu features variety of ramen. Definitely will not return. read more

It's okay. We ordered delivery from jjs poke and it's okay. The packaging is great, nothing was leaked. The ramen is easily assembled where they packed the soup and ramen separately. The flavor was okay. We ordered four different kinds of ramen and the soup wasn't as flavorful as we'd like. Ramen it self is chewy and good but overall the ramen was not the best we have. We also ordered sumai and chicken karage and they are also just okay. A little disappointed because I liked their poke in the summer when we ordered from them. I might give it another try when we eat in the restaurant. read more

Although the smoothies here are on the pricier side, they are pretty large and taste good. The bowls are a good value for a decent portion with fresh ingredients! read more

I really never write reviews but I'm so upset about this. My bf and I have eaten here many times in the past, always getting takeout. There literally has never been anything wrong with the food, it's standard reliable poke. We wanted poke tn and haven't ordered from this place in a while, so this is what we decided on. We both got our normal orders (salmon bowls) and I saw that they added a vegetable tempura bao bun to their menu and wanted to try it. When the food was delivered I opened the bao bun first. Immediately upon inspecting it, there was a hair sticking right out of the bun. I figured it was just a small piece of hair on top of something, but when I went to pull it off it was literally inside of the tempura vegetable, as if the piece of hair had been fried into it it was such a long piece of hair we literally could not even pull it out, and obviously just ended up tossing it in the trash. The second thing I'll say is that while my poke bowl wasn't terrible, it wasn't great either. Not good enough for me to finish it. I got a base of greens with marinated salmon, avocado, edamame, cucumber, sauces, and various toppings. The edamame was so pale green it was almost a yellow color, which I don't believe to be normal. It also was not flavorful and kind of just mushy, not like how edamame texture should be. Overall even though I'm very displeased, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. We have had good experiences with this place in the past and since the most recent reviews are 4-5 stars, I'm just going to assume they were having a bad night. Even so I probably will not order from here again. read more

Incredibly fresh poke bowls, made with great attention to detail. I always create my own bowl - Ahi Tuna, Yellowtail, etc. their poke is as fresh and as good or better than anything I've had in Hawaii. Their sauces and toppings and mix-in's. Whether you dine in or take out, service is extremely friendly. The atmosphere and ambiance is inviting, and they treat each guest like they were guests in their home! read more

I ordered using Uber eats and got the gyugon beef bowl It beef was very stringy and about 75% fat it was inedible I believe it was 17$ Very nasty stuff the regular beef bowl is delicious If you don't want a bowl of stringy fat get that instead read more

JJ’S Poke - Fat from my poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love JJs poke and decided to join their rewards program this time because you get 5% off every bowl. I love all their options and think the price is reasonable for poke. Their ingredients taste fresh and flavorful. There isn't a ton of seating since they closed off half the restaurant, so I recommend doing take out. The inside is a bit cramped. I love that you don't have to hover over all the ingredients and that it's in the kitchen. All you have to do is fill out a form and they get it to you super quickly. They also are happy to answer any questions that you have about the ingredients. Parking is a pain but parking in Dinkytown is always a pain. read more

I can't believe I had to discover this amazing poke bowl place through Bite Squad but I am so glad I did! For those who don't know Dinkytown area- this place is located on the same block as the Target (it is a bit hidden). I'm only had the poke bowls here so I can't speak for the ramen. The poke bowls are amazinggg- for the amount and portions you get the price is reasonable. Everything also taste very fresh! Personally I usually get salmon or spicy salmon as my portion and almost a bit of every veggie. As for the sauce I love spicy mayo. On the positive note- the staff is also friendly and not annoyed when I asked a million questions! I'm ready to go back! read more

This is some damn good poke. That's it. That's the review. Okay, but seriously - great addition to the Dinkytown area. Thank god this place wasn't around when I was a student because I would have been an even more broke ass student if I had this temptation around for lunch. If you're a newcomer to poke, they have signature bowls, but I personally like to customize it. Portions are pretty reasonable, although they recently raised their prices to more like $17 for a large bowl. I'm a tuna lover, so I always order the ahi tuna, which comes in these HUGE chunks that taste pretty damn fresh. They've got a million sauces to choose from, but I highly recommend their garlic soy yuzu - it's bomb. Eat it. Thank me later. Service is speedy, and whenever I order online, it's less than 10 minutes for it to be ready. Right now due to COVID, they're not dining indoors, so it is pickup only. Parking is a hassle (it's Dinkytown, lower your expectations) but there's metered parking a block or two around the corner if you can't find anything right in front of the store. read more

I am so impressed with this place. Found this poke bowl by accident when I dined in Lepot next door. They have 3 sizes for custom bowls with reasonable prices. They also gives you at least 2 scoops for the protein in Signature Bowls, now that is a good deal. The portion is big as well and we barely finished our bowls. I love how they have different and unique toppings such as massage, tamago, and my favorite Seaweed Salad! The sauce is also tasty and they let you try it first! After you finished, they gave us complimentary desserts. Place is clean and service is friendly! I would recommend the place and definitely come back. read more

If the tofu was cooked, (not just cold mush) or if you could order and not pick a protein, this tofu poke bowl would be perfect.

Worst poke bowl I ever had. No flavor and they didn't add all the ingredients I paid for!

This is one of my favorite poke places in the cities and definitely my go-to whenever I'm in the UMN area! The poke is extremely affordable at $10 for a medium bowl (2 scoops) and the ingredients are high quality. I really like the salmon and marinated tuna in particular. You also get 5 toppings (which can include avocado or seaweed salad at no extra charge). I usually like to make my own bowls but I've also tried the signature rainbow bowl, which was really nicely put together. I have yet to try the ramen but have heard good things about that as well. They also have a reward points system which basically gets you 50 cents off each purchase :) read more

JJ's is the best poke place i've been to! You get to make your own poke bowl. I appreciate that they are not light with how much sauce they put on it.

Deliciously fresh poke bowls with tons of options and sauces. Their bowls come in three sizes. I always get the medium sized bowl and it is enough for a meal. I'm partial to the spicy tuna as well as the crab salad. I add the crunchy toppings to finish is off! Love it! And will definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

I used to only get poke from this place but I think I'm a bigger fan of their buns. Tried the chicken, pork, and eel (forgot to take a pic of the pork one TT) and they were all super good. A bit pricy for their size but would probably order again if I'm craving something extra. read more

Good poke, awesome staff and cute, clean and spacious interior! This is probably going to be my go to poke place. There are 3 different sizes to choose from and you can pick your choice of toppings, protein, mix ins, sauce and add ons. I ordered the create your own large poke bowl which comes with 4 scoops of protein. I chose the salmon, ahi tuna, and spicy salmon along with rice, veggies and the garlic and spicy mayo sauce. Overall great flavor and the price is reasonable ($13.95 for large). They also serve their own signature bowls, rice bowls, variety of appetizers and ramen which I'm interested in trying in the future! They also have a rewards/loyalty program, for every $1 you spend you earn 5 cents and it can be redeemed on future purchases and it doesn't expire. Definitely worth asking about if you're a regular :) Enjoyed my meal and the staff was very pleasant. Good experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

My favorite poke place in Minnesota hands down. You can get a medium poke bowl with 2 meats, 5 toppings, crunchies, and sauce for under $10! The toppings are high quality - avocado, seaweed salad, edamame, spicy crab salad, and more at no extra cost. The garlic soy yuzu sauce is amazing and the fish quality is as good as you'll get here in the midwest. Convenient location, friendly staff, sizeable portions, and great rewards program. I've eaten here countless times, even got delivery through bite squad, and JJ's never disappoints! read more

This place was alright but not outstanding. I ordered a custom small bowl and it was not the best poke I have had, may be the available options without customizing may be better? The seating area was pretty spacious, well lit and clean, which I appreciate. The price is reasonable and overall a good choice for a healthy meal. The location is in Dinkytown so convenient for us college students. 4/5 read more

Went for the first time today with friends for lunch and I really enjoyed it. The service was great, staff was friendly, and there were so many options of toppings, fish and sauces to choose from.

JJ’S Poke - Rainbow bowl delivered - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

So what is this food trend, anyway -- and what's the appeal? It's all CUSTOMIZABLE!!! Make it a poke bowl with rice or a poke salad! Poke means "to slice or cut" in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw, marinated fish -- usually tuna -- which is then tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and umami-packed sauces. This place not only has tuna, it has yellowtail tuna, salmon, scallop, octopus, shrimp, tofu, and a fresh array of vegetable options. They also have rice bowls with cooked meats such as steak, chicken, grilled shrimp & scallop, & bbq eel for the not so daring! Not in the mood for poke? Have at their 6 hot ramen soup dishes! A new, fresh, healthy favorite! Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program too (free)! read more

I've heard a lot of good things about JJ'S Poke after it open, and was excited to try it. So I went, staff was very friendly! Environment was very nice.....but the food was meh... I ordered a poke bowl and an appetizer of Takoyaki. The poke bowl was average, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. If I was to rated it I would give it a 3.5. Takoyaki was the thing I look forward to, but it was a huge disappointment. The Inside of the takoyaki was very sticky, Gooy and some of them didn't even have octopus in it. The taste was bland too. read more

Been on the road for weeks and this was a happy, healthy surprise. Nice to have the option of white rice, brown rice, or leafy greens as the basis for our poke bowls. Mildly annoying was the fact that I ordered 4 scoops of seafood compared to Pamela who ordered one scoop, and even though I paid twice as much for my dinner, both entrees were the same size. No knocks on the quality or flavors, though. Tasted great, including the dressings. read more

Their ramen is actually pretty decent. I used to work at a Japanese Ramen spot which only sold ramen so I can say I have pretty high standard on ramen. However JJ's ramen didnt let me down even tho their focus is Poke bowls. Ive never seen any ramen with this huge chasu in it. Its crazy big..which I love. However, when I was their two African American guys came in and started to ask us to take them home. I told them no because I dont know him, and he called other dude in and start bothering other customers. Other than that it was great experience! read more
