Very nice Poké bowls, portions are very small but they have good variety of toppings and prices are reasonable. I liked the salmon Poké Bowl here. read more

Oké Poké - Hawaiian Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Finally remembered to check Oké Poké and finally (thanks wikipedia) understand what poké is! So I guess nothing Oké Poké sells is the most traditional Hawaiian raw fish salad (fatty tuna or octopus) but it seems that the ahi tuna version they have is sort of the modern classic. They also have lots of other variations with some really fun flavour combinations and if raw fish isn't your thing then check out the chicken/prawn/tofu options. Aside from 5 set options, there's the option to put your own together. So I have been confused about what I've heard poké's relationship to sushi and how sometimes it's like a giant sushi roll but basically the whole poké concept is very much influenced by different flavours from Asian cuisine and the normal salad version is compared to 'deconstructed sushi' (or, surely, chirashi). So basically if you want the most classic version here, go for the ahi tuna bowl which is fish salad on top of rice. This is also better if you're hungry as there is slightly more food (for £1 more). The sushi roll thing is the pokérito - so called as it is effectively a sushi burrito. It as far as I can tell is a modern fusion invention not necessarily from Hawaii at all. I gave it a go (as following all this on the day research I realised I have def already tried 'normal' poké although did not realise it at the time - ha!) and really enjoyed it. I particularly liked the wakame, sesame seeds and the nice hint of ginger in the sauce. Server was very friendly and helpful about the menu. It's a tad expensive for an everyday lunch at £6.95 for the pokerito and £7.95 for the poke bowl and while I am trying to eat less and found the portion size fine, those who prefer to feel really full may be unsatisfied. I will definitely return though. It's fun, different and healthy and for once Manchester isn't 8 years behind a food craze! read more

I was excited to hear a poke place opened in Manchester especially since I use to eat them often in California- so I had to check this place out. The place is pretty small but had a good vibe. It had a tropical "feel" with blasting music. The menu was had a couple of choices and included the customer to create their own poke bowl or roll (sushirrito). Creating your own meant you can pick your own protein (eg., salmon, tuna, prawns, chicken), vegetables, and sauces. The bowl was £7.95 and the sushiritto was £6.95. I bought a bowl with a salmon poke and a sushiritto with tuna. Overall, it was decent. It wasn't mind blowing like what I've had in California, but it was decent enough. I'd say the salmon was a bit fishy but the tuna tasted pretty fresh- no fishy taste. I think it's absolutely essential that the fish used in poke to be absolutely top notch and fresh so I wasn't too impress about their salmon. They also need to learn how to better make their sushiritto cause it wasn't wrap tight and came a part easily. Their sauce (classic) wasn't amazing either. If you've had great poke elsewhere, you might be underwhelmed. If you haven't tried poke, this is a decent enough place. read more

First time @mcrpoke but it won't be the last either. I tried out their winter menu which was light, filling and also warming to my belly as the weather turns cold. Sous vide Salmon (£8.95) was cooked perfectly, well seasoned especially with the sesame sprinkled on top, which gives a nutty taste onto the juicy and flaky salmon. This is paired with warm beetroot, which was sweet and refreshing as I tasted a hint of either lime or lemon (something citrus) along with fresh spinanch that provided a nice crunch. The only disappointment is that I didn't get any kimchi cucumber as stated on menu. Miso soup (£4.95)- This is my go to comfort food when I feel a bit down. A nice consistency of cloudy miso soup topped with nori, tofu and spring onion to complement the soup. What I didn't realise was the pleasant suprise of udon, making this a nice, warming and filling lunch. In fact, if you are looking for a healthier and filling lunch before the over indulgence of Christmas starts, I would recommend you start here. read more

The food is amazing, but their customer service is the worst! I can't even tell you how many times I walk in and just stand there watching them (no matter who's behind the counter) acting all confused over whatever it is there looking at. Ignoring the fact that someone walked in. Then when they finally do look up there's next to nothing to come out of their mouth leaving you to stumble around in telling them what you want. As they then look at you confused as if it's their first day, every day. Someone looking to open a new business should do a poke shop so I can stop going here. A smile would be all you need to improve upon what this place offers. read more

Hawaiian style street food which is essentially deconstructed sushi in either a bowl or roll form. I opted for a build it and make it your own bowl. With black rice base, salmon protein, avocado, red cabbage and Wakame (seaweed) toppings, pickled ginger and sesame garnish and classic sauce. The rice was unappetizingly dry and crispy and tasted as if it wasn't at its freshest. The rest of the bowl was ok. The fish was decent but they need to add more sauce or at least offer additional sauces that you could perhaps add at the end. The portion size was ok for lunch but I would have been left hungry if this was dinner. My partner order the pokerita but instead the lady bought over a bowl. When we mentioned it they promptly remade the order but made no mention of the extra money they had charged for the bowl! We had the Hawaiian Punch drink which in my opinion lacked any punch! Mediocre Hawaiian food but at least the staff are friendly whilst they make it for you! read more

AMAZINNNNG! I ate here a few months ago and constantly dream about going back. So many flavorful options and such a healthy choice. The owner is also so sweet and helpful! read more
