Wow this is a hidden gem! We've come in a couple times recently and have been blown away with the quality (and bang for your buck) Even the small size bowls are extremely filling with freshly prepared ingredients, so we leave with leftovers for later. I love the customizable build your own option and was surprised at how many toppings you're encouraged to choose that are included in the price! The chicken karaage is my husband's favorite (he said JJ's is superior to even the higher-end Japanese places in the twin cities) and I love the vege bun which is only $4.50! Tons of free off street parking here in the lot, and the place is always very clean and tidy -- the chairs are also super comfortable. Service is quick and polite. We'll be back again soon!
Consistently good food and friendly staff! Portions are generous! I would highly suggest the build your own poke bowl
Ordered JJ's to-go. They were super fast and everything came as ordered! I have been to JJ's in Minneapolis, but not this one, and they are both great!! The fish seems pretty high quality and fresh. There is indoor seating, and it looked nice, but pretty empty other than one person. Seems like more of a take out place!
A nice bag goes a long way. I got a reusable bag with my Bento box order yesterday. That alone is worth a star. The bento box had my meal (sashimi over rice) grilled veggies, an appitizer, small dessert. Everything was good except for the tuna which was tough. the veggie tempura stayed crispy as I drove to work and the dessert was delicious and probably actually the portion size I should be eating. I have order fromt this location many times but it's the first time of going to the location instead of delivery. the chairs were comfy and the clean and tidy. If I hadn't needed to go back to work I would have eaten there.
Amazing fresh food with friendly service. I highly recommend you try the customized poke bowl. Protein and extras! The rice is sticky and soft. Excellent!!!!
I thought I'd give this food a try as I've been into Tuna Poke lately but this was just meh. "Poke" means chunk and I really wasn't expecting my tuna to be scoops of mince with the texture of pablum. The online menu is quite confusing as well, but I'm still not regularly dining in so I don't have the opportunity to ask questions. For example, I chose the large build-my-own poke; then you select protein, add-ins, etc. but each item has a +$3 or +$1 next to it - making me think I was building a super-pricey lunch - but the $19 price did not change when I went to check out. I did like the Hawaiian sauce dressing. And if you add pickled ginger you'll get A LOT of ginger! Spring rolls are a favorite of mine but I wish the menu specified they were fried and not fresh. They were just okay.
My mission to find my favorite poke in the Twin Cities continues! I was in the area, and have been meaning to try JJs. Located at the end of a strip mall shared with Cub, this is a fast casual spot to grab a poke bowl. They seem to do a lot of pickup and takeout orders, but so have a few booths if you want to dine in! Their menu includes poke - build your own or signature bowls - rice bowls, apps, and even ramen! Prices were standard, at $11-$14 per bowl. I ordered for takeout at the front counter and my order was ready in just a few minutes even though it was dinner rush and they were busy with online orders. Great service! I got the crunchy bowl and was pleasantly surprised by all the mix-ins! As a sauce gal I was glad they didn't skimp at all - dare I say a touch too much sauce? Either way, I ate it all happily! I will say at some places I can stretch a bowl to two meals, but this one seemed a bit smaller. Great quick poke spot in Edina for delivery or takeout!
I ordered takeout and arrived when stated it would be ready. I was able to pay but had to wait another 5-10 minutes. It seemed they could be short staffed unfortunately. Even though, they were very friendly and moving urgently to get the orders fulfilled. It looked like no indoor seating and the other people there were also waiting for their takeout. I ordered miso ramen and shumai. The broth was set aside and I was able to fill the bowl it came in perfectly. The ramen was very good! The shumai was basic and so so. I would recommend this place for sure!
First time having poke in MN and it was good. I was a bit thrown off by the weird staff though. They didn't say hi, they didn't ask if I had any questions. When I went up to order, halfway through my order the worker told me I'd have to fill out my order on the sheet. Wish this was conveyed to me before? As I am filling it out, the worker left. There was no one at the counter. We had to wait a bit before another gal showed up to help. Bummer they charge for water when you are eating there... The options and toppings were good and the fish tasted good. Just wish the staff didn't hate their job so much.
Really tasty poke. Employees were nice. Able to park in parking lot. Business was super busy and we waited a long time with aggravated customers to receive our food. Seemed like they were taking a lot on with in person orders, online orders, and orders with delivery apps. Really good food though.
This is a very simple concept, executed quite well. Think of a Chipotle that serves poke bowls. They have a pretty decent selection of meats, sauces, and toppings to boot. My poke bowl was seasoned tuna, spicy mayo, avocado, masago, tempura, scallion, pineapple, and white rice. It was quite good. I also tried both the gyoza and pork bun. They were both SUPER good. These were definitely the best gyoza I have ever had. Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and a nice sauce to pair. I'd definitely make another trip! Highly recommend.

Food was delicious and very well seasoned. Fish was fresh. Better than some other options around Edina for Poke. read more
It's been at least 5 years since I've been here but was craving a poke bowl and was around the Southdale area. This place continues to serve fresh quality food at an affordable price. I was impressed with their updated (since I had last gone in 2020) way of ordering food, you take a slip of paper and mark down how you want to customize your poke bowl. Gone are the days of long lines of people who don't know exactly what they want and allows people to order their food at their own pace. Once I submitted my slip, I had my food prepared in under 10 minutes (5 other people were ahead of me). The dining room is very simple, they have a few tables with benches and the lighting is bright. Definitely a place I'd go back to just because the quality of the food is incredible read more

So, here I sat. Hungry, not knowing what I was in the mood for. Wanting some place new and something interesting. So I scroll the door dash app to see what my options are... this is where I find this new poke place and it's not too far away... imagine my excitement!! So I ordered a build your own type deal. Medium sized got me 2 portions of tuna, white rice, edamame, corn and cucumbers. I added the hawaiian sauce and the creamy sesame sauce and some sesame seeds on top. My time spent trolling for a new restaurant did NOT go to waste! This meal was SO yummy! I can not wait to eat here again! read more
Nice and clean. Employees were fast and friendly. Ordered a chicken rice bowl to go with miso soup in the side. Rice bowl comes with 5 toppings. I chose squid salad, crab salad, sweet corn, pineapple and avocado. Topped off with yum yum sauce. All components were tasty. The chicken was a bit dry though. Perhaps a little more sauce could have been added as I barely saw the sauce. Still would like to come back and try other bowel read more

Yum! So so happy there is a poke place in Edina! Sushi and poke is my favorite type of food so I'm so glad there's a place close to where am always doing errands to pick up a great bowl. I tried a create your own ahi tuna bowl and added lots of great toppings! The only topping I wouldn't recommend would be the "avocado" - which is basically weird tasting creamy guacamole. You also get a very very small scoop of tuna, but I guess that's what a small size gets you. I also wish the toppings were labeled so you didn't have to guess what you're ordering and pointing to I will for sure be back for more! **EDIT: Improving my review from 4 star to 5 star because I've become a regular here! Most recently, I started ordering ahead through doordash so that I don't have to wait in line and explain what I want in my bowl... it is much easier to order ahead, and faster! read more
You do the Hokey Poke!! I honestly cannot get enough of poke bowls. I have tried numerous places around the Twin Cities. I stumbled upon this place after having a horrible dinner at the cheesecake factory across the street. Sent my food back and I was still horribly hungry after a 12 person friends dinner at CC factory. I pulled up my Yelp app and typed in "poke" AH Ha a "hot and new" Poke restaurant was right across the street. Thanks yelp app. It just happened to be their grand opening. The staff working was super helpful and the food seemed very authentic. I ended up ordering their signature mango Hawaii bowl sans cucumber. It was amazing the portion was huge at only $9.95. Their sizes for the price was bigger than some other places that I have been to for Poke. They offer three sizes here. read more
Definitely preferred over The Cove, which I found inauthentic though my Irishman was a fan. Lovely bright, casual decor punctuated by a large, bold canvas of seafood art immediately captures the attention upon entering the space - or maybe that was because we both made beelines to the restrooms first? The service counter is busy at 6 pm this Thursday evening, with the phone ringing every few minutes with new orders from hungry diners looking to pick up, and Bite Squad team members in bright kelly green polo shirts take turns sitting at a tall corner table waiting as two JJ teammates prep online order after online order from a mounted tablet. Our turn comes up, and we opt to share a large 4-scoop poke bowl of albacore and shrimp for my Irishman and salmon and half/half yellowtail and scallop for me. Half/half isn't standard, but I'm glad for the exception so I was able to try all my favorites on my first visit - yay, thank you! They were either out of albacore or no longer offered it - no display or mention was made of it at the counter - so he opted for ahi instead. Even though we were sharing a single order, our server was so generous as to offer us two separate mango pudding cups to enjoy. The avocado was whipped, which disappointed us as we both enjoy taking bites of the creamy fruit. The yellowtail and scallop was dry compared to what I typically expect of the flesh in sushi and poke preparations, which I had noted visually upon ordering but wanted to try it at this new place anyway. The ahi and salmon were moist and delightful, and the toppings were plentiful, though the edamame was a bit discolored. Notably, as of January 2019 anyway, JJ's doesn't upcharge for brown rice or avocado, which all poke bowl lovers know are both often incur extra charges. Between that difference and JJ's 4-scoop bowl offering at $13.95 that easily feeds two ravenous adults (as in it's 6 pm and my 6-foot-tall Irishman hadn't eaten yet after being awake for work at 6:30 am), this place isn't just good healthy eats, it's an easy choice for regular date night rotation that's easy on the budget as well. The service has been lauded as being exceptional here, and I can definitely vouch for that. Our server, despite juggling a stream of online orders and pausing every now and again to answer yet another hungry phone call, was always pleasant and never made anyone feel rushed. Rather, he took his time with each walk-in visitor, explaining curious ingredients and offering tastings of proteins and sauces to indecisive diners - lovely background noise as we nommed away. He even exclaimed that my number was a San Francisco one when we joined the loyalty program with it, beaming as he shared that his wife was from San Francisco, so he knew the area code. Cute! While I'm still searching for a poke spot to oust my Chicago fave that I still have cravings for - I've got my eye on Hawaii Street Food next - this place is on my list of regular visits in the meantime for sure. As a branding and marketing professional, though, I would really love to see the JJ's Poke logo redesigned. It does absolutely zero in presenting the brand identity or store concept to the audience or complimenting let alone matching the brand personality upon entering the establishment. Ignore me, I've had a branding radar even as a kid. Get here. Get stuffed. Repeat at will. Om nom nom. read more
We ate dinner here after our long drive from St. Louis.. We stayed at a nearby embassy suites and we were craving for something Asian and the ramen here is what got our attention in our search. And it didn't disappoint! we arrived with quite a long line ahead of us, we got discouraged at first and even thought that they are only catering take-out (to go) orders. So when we learned we can dine in, then it was a total relief.. The place is small, we were dining with people all around us waiting for their orders and I think it's all worth it. They served the ramen with the soup in a separate container, which in a way worked for us. My son ordered their poke and you need to fill up the form found up front to check the toppings or fillings and sauce that you want in your poke. We were so hungry that day that we also ordered additional rice toppings and those are so awesome! We were so full that night and happy as we were able to satisfy our cravings! read more

I was on a trip for business in the area and came across JJ's Poke. It was a casual establishment with build your own option as well as a variety of custom bowls. I had a great experience as a first-timer. Their service was quick and helpful. They had a great variety of ingredients, toppings, and sauces to choose from. I felt it was fairly priced for both the quantity and quality of your dish- which can be hard to find at poke places. Their menu items were clearly labeled and I was able to easily follow the build your own instructions as a first time guest. It wasn't an explosion of flavor like some of the other poke places I've been to before, but all ingredients seemed freshly prepared. This is a place I would certainly come back to again. read more

Omg!!! Omg!! Omg!! Am I allowed to cuss on here?!? I have never enjoyed a meal so much!! This place is my new go to for eating out. I was skeptical at first. My son wanted to come here for ramen and convinced me to join him the first time. Today I dragged him here. Simple ingredients. Full of flavor. If you've never been here, it is worth the try. I doubt anyone would be disappointed. Keep in mind the seating area is very small. We do takeout. read more

I've been working 3 miles away from this place for 5 years, I don't know how long it's been there but I wish I would have found it way sooner!! Clean, quaint little place serving poke bowls as the name states but also serving RAMEN!! Legit, authentic ramen and not just a spin off cheap version. Finally ramen that I don't have to go downtown for!! They have 4-5 ramen offerings. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with double pork chashu. I ordered double because usually the pork pieces aren't that big but these were huge! Nice thick slices and the fat just melted. Perfectly charred and not burned. The broth was fatty, flavorful and not too salty (even for a ramen broth). Portions of all the ingredients was spot on. They only give you a half of a soft boiled egg. It's common to get a whole egg split but not a deal breaker. Noodles were great too! Poke options looked great as well so I will have to go back and give that a try. It's setup like Subway but with poke ingredients. Will def be back here!! read more

Ordered the chicken ramen and spring rolls. Both were great. The environment in there was weird though. No greeting when I entered. Cashier was on her phone. When I ordered, she didn't ask if it was to-go or for here, but then gave me the food to-go, in a brown paper bag, when the receipt said "Dine-in". The cashier didn't appear to make my food,and I heard other people that I could not see, so I figured they were employees and would make my food. The cashier made my food once someone else came in to order. read more
