Regular Bowl
Laura L.

Wow. Honestly, this spot is my new favorite spot for poke in Houston! I struggled to find a good poke place, as all of the other places were either too stingy with their portions or their fish wasn't as fresh. But Let's Poke is perfect! There's a good amount of parking outside the place with a few spots that are reserved just for the restaurant! Inside is a lot smaller than I thought, but there's still plenty of seats to eat your lunch! The walls are bright and pink which I thought added a cute vibe to the place! The lady who got my order was super lovely and nice. She took my order really fast and got to work with the scooping, and she was very generous with the portion! After I paid, she told me to be careful and stay safe because of the rain and the incoming storm, which was so sweet and thoughtful. The poke was so delicious. Their regular bowl comes with 3 proteins which honestly is a steal as most places that sell regular bowls only come with 2 proteins. I got salmon, spicy salmon, and spicy tuna for my proteins and had a bunch of different toppings and mix-ins. The total of my bowl was around $15 which is pretty good for the amount of food that was given. The fish was super fresh and succulent and it paired really well with their spicy ponzu and their spicy mayo sauce. You can get whatever toppings and mix-ins you want with no additional charge with the exception of some toppings like avocado, etc. And FYI, the large bowl comes with a whopping 5 proteins and is $3 extra from the regular, which is honestly a really good deal. Such a good poke place! I'll definitely be coming back here again as the workers are super nice, the food is so good, and it's women-owned! Come check it out and support this small local business!

This place was ok. I tried it on a whim since this place was close by to my house. I got a build my own bowl with shrimp and brown rice. I like my rice warm so didn't like that it came in cold. The shrimps themselves were tiny but they tasted fresh and the other ingredients also tasted fresh which is a plus. A lot of toppings that you can choose which is another plus.

This poke spot took over the old Aqua S, and I love poke so was happy to have this new addition. I built my own poke bowl versus going with one of their signature bowls. I got a large bowl with salmon and tuna as my proteins. They also let you add avocado and crab meat for free. It's not a huge portion, but it is included which is nice compared to the other poke spots that charge extra for it. Everything tasted fresh and there were a wide variety of ingredient to choose from. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were extremely nice and helpful. Come check them out to get your poke fix!

I had an early day, so my friend and I decided to catch up. We watched something light but filling, and delicious, so poke was it. Let's Poke did not disappoint! The ambiance was clean and pleasantly quiet. It was our first time, and our server was extremely help and patient with explaining our options. Although there are 3 offered pre-made bowls, I decided to make my own. I loved the variety of options. Though not an expert, it was fun to figure out which mixes and sauces would go well together. Our server also gave some input with my friend's order. My bowl: spicy salmon, cooked shrimp, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, brown rice, spring mix, corn, sesame seeds, furikake, spicy mayo and eel sauce. My friend's bowl: spicy salmon, spicy tuna, cooked shrimp, green onions, brown rice, lettuce, cucumbers, cabbage, eel sauce, mango habanero sauce. The bowl was extremely fresh and bursting with flavor. I really loved my combo, and I can't wait to go back! I also ordered a pomegranate house drink which was adequately fizzy, not overly sweet and refreshing. A perfect hot day meal combo! Parking was a breeze and it's in a convenient location in the heights. I could imagine living in the areas and grabbing a bowl after a Hotwire session (which is right next door)....orrr going for some tea and/or doughnuts, which are also neighboring businesses! This spot is quite small, so I encourage a grab and go or no more than a group of 3 situation.

Our first time trying Let's Poke! We both loved it and raved about it all the way home.

I've been to Let's Poke twice. It tastes amazing and the service is spectacular. They separated my rice into another bowl when i didn't want it in my regular bowl. I felt super cared for. The ambiance in quiet and clean. We sat outside to enjoy the street view. Will 1000% be returning for more amazing poke. Best in Houston.

I'm loving this new poke place. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff and cute interior and vibe. They have a few pre-set menu items or you can make your own bowl. I like to make my own. Highly recommend this place if you're in the Heights and are in the mood for poke!

Fresh and delicious…read more We were so excited to find local poke that we've already been back a second time. They do have their own app where you can earn points which is nice as well. There is parking in the back of the building and an entrance back there as well. It's nice to order online and swing by and grab for on the go. They also have seating so you can eat there too. I love that the base of your bowl can be cucumber or half cucumber. That is a unique option for those who don't eat rice. The fish options are awesome, they have rotating fish option so always ask what it is. The topping options are plentiful. The bowl is perfection, thank you local poke.

Local Poké on Washington is a perfectly fine poké spot. The food was good, the selection was about…read morewhat you would expect, and the staff did a good job. Nothing really stood out as amazing, but there also wasn't anything particularly bad about the experience. The pricing felt a little expensive for what you get, and my biggest complaint is the parking. They do have a few dedicated spots, but only two or three, and the location can be kind of a pain to get in and out of. The inside is pretty basic. They had a few games set out, which was a nice touch, but otherwise it was mostly white tables, white walls, and a pretty bland overall atmosphere. That said, I don't really expect much more when going to a poké place, so it wasn't a big issue. If you work nearby, live in the area, or happen to be walking by, it's a solid option for a quick poké bowl. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically, but overall it's a decent spot.

This place is great I enjoyed it…read more............ I did enjoy it. I didn't think I would. There are too many poke restaurants, so out of protest I stopped eating at poke restaurants. That was stupid of me. I was missing out. Btw...Try the Mango thing, it's good I think. I can't even describe it. It must have been mediocre good because I don't remember it and cannot describe it. But I finished it so maybe it was good. But you should try it so you can relate to this review, because that's normal to try something based on a mediocre review to relate to a stranger you don't know. I do it all the time.

Terrible! Let me save you some time when choosing between…read morethe multiple delicious poke restaurants in the area- Do NOT choose this one. The serving size is ridiculous. I got a signature bowl and there were 5 small cubes of tuna and the smallest scoop of rice. You can see from the photos that there is barely any food in there. Every ingredient was measured with a tiny spoon or a pinch of something- he actually went back in and took out onion slices because he deemed it "too much". I asked for Serrano peppers and he said "bowl is as-is". I reached for chop sticks after he already placed a fork on my tray, without asking me, and he told me- "it's one or the other" so I had to put back the chop sticks. Only come here if you want to overpay for a cup of rice and a tablespoon of tuna.

Spotlessly clean establishment, superb customer service and consistently scrumptious poke bowl…read more It has been awhile since I've eaten here, so I was pleasantly surprised that they added paper forms for ordering. It definitely makes it easier to see all the mix in options especially with kids.

My roommate and I were craving Poke for dinner. Usually, I like to indulge in poke at Poke in the…read moreBowl, but because I forgot my coupons, I wanted to give Seaside Poke a chance. Some pros include good service, an efficient ordering system (you can fill out a small slip of paper at the front of the restaurant), and the unique oil selection option. But unfortunately, my biggest gripe was their food. Upon receiving my order, my roommate noted how small the bowl was. While size didn't matter (initially), they gave me way more rice than protein, and by the end of my meal, I found myself having to supplement my leftover rice with my own protein. A small bowl was 3 scoops of protein (I requested 2 scoops of spicy tuna and 1 scoop of spicy yellowtail), but frankly, they were a bit stingy with their portions because it did not seem like 3 scoops. I felt that paying $14 for how much I was getting turned me off. Furthermore, my roommate and I agreed that the sauces and how the fish was seasoned were more salty than spicy. I requested 2 types of spicy raw fish and a spicy aioli sauce and still found the spice to be subtle, almost nonexistent. In addition, some premium ingredients, such as Masago and Seaweed Salad, would have been free elsewhere. Overall, I was unsatisfied with my experience and unsure if I'd return. While taste is subjective, I'd suggest improving portion sizes by fixing the rice-to-protein ratio; past reviews have expressed similar sentiments, so I know I'm not alone in feeling like the portions are absurd. Also worth mentioning is that they give free dessert (ube, matcha, and pandan rice crispies) if you leave a Google review, which I feel could skew the ratings.
