We finally stopped by Poke Cafe on Old St. Augustine Rd, and it's a great spot for a fresh, and easy lunch. Ordering at the kiosk was seamless, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. While the Sushi Push Pop is definitely a cool and unique idea, we actually preferred their poke bowl--the ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious. It's easily one of our favorite local finds, and we'll absolutely be back. (Video on my TikTok & IG page: @eddynguyenrealtor) read more

Where is the poke'???? A poke' cafe with no poke'?? Where is the poke'? I have questions. Gentrification at its finest.... No hamachi poke' No spicy tuna poke' No spicy taco, for yall non islanders that's octopus Who puts cucumber and edimame in poke' Whatever yall trying to sell this is offensive to us Hawaiians... I'm just gonna go ahead and assume those who gave this place a good review you never had real poke' before and it's not you fault for not knowing due to the lack of travel and if you have been to the island you should know better that poke' cafe' is a fraud to the Hawaiian cuisine. And if the owner is Hawaiian you should be ashamed of yourself... It required me to put a star, if you could put a negative star I would have. read more

We tried Poke Cafe a few days back. We had a short lunch time hour so opted for a take out. We ordered a Hawaiian classic poke bowl, a spam + tamago musubi, Japanese fried chicken, and a hibachi beef stir fried rice. I must say that everything tasted pretty delicious. I especially love the spam / tamago musubi. I can see this being a quick meal solution when we feel like having something fresh, and won't break the bank when we do not feel like cooking. read more

This was my first visit, and parking was a breeze--likely because it was a rainy day, so the lot was mostly empty. The restaurant itself was quiet, with no other customers at the time. You can order at the kiosk or the counter, and we chose the counter. We both ordered the Supreme Poke Bowl and added a side of shrimp sauce. I'm glad we got the shrimp sauce on the side because it was heavy on mayo and not to my taste. The poke bowl was okay overall. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the crab and shrimp were flavorful. The cucumbers were fresh, and the bowl had a decent balance of ingredients. However, there was very little eel sauce, so if you like extra flavor, I'd recommend asking for more. The biggest disappointment was the spicy tuna--it tasted off and was not enjoyable. The ambiance of the interior was inviting, and the staff member we interacted with was friendly. That said, the food didn't leave much of an impression, and with so many other great poke places out there, I probably wouldn't return. read more

My Togo poke bowl I picked up last night was So good! I wish this place was closer to me b/c I would be here quite frequently. The quality and price you pay for your bowl is one hundred percent worth it. I ordered Togo "create your own bowl" with two proteins (tofu + spicy ahi tuna) with a mixed base of white rice and lettuce - phenomenal! This was quite filling. I added a little bit of soy sauce and that's all this tasty bowl needed, nothing else. Can't wait to come back and order another poke bowl. All of the ingredients were very fresh and the customer service was outstanding. read more

I would definitely be back. read more

First time, went in around dinner time and this place is empty I should've known, I looked at the menu and wanted pretty much everything on it, I decided to go for some rock n roll sushi to go, it's simple you can't mess it up, $10, I got home and there is only 6 small thin pieces, the rice was undercooked or old bc it was crunchy, 2 of pieces were unraveled, overall it was the worst sushi I've ever had, very disappointing, I'm glad I didn't pay $17 to get a bowl, I do not recommend read more

I've been on a Poke binge and this place has by far been my favorite Poke restaurant in several Months. Not only is the food great the waiter for my take away order was fabulous. I felt like I was ordering from a 5 star restaurant. As I waited for my food I heard him talking with another customer who he knew by name and his friendliness warmed my heart. I don't know what time they open tomorrow but I could have this for breakfast tomorrow! read more

The staff is always super friendly and quick with service! We always end up getting there early after placing online orders and they have never been late!

I really like poke bowl. Fast, health and delicious. I like to discovery new places and I found this spot. Nice environment. I liked the idea of the choose and create my bowl using the tablet. Everything with photos and easy. It didn't have space to dine in, but this moment, it wasn't a issue, because I ordered to go. I liked the price and the portion. Everything was delicious. Definitely I will return to eat another bowl and try the other dishes. read more

It's ok, my chicken teriyaki bowl was rather dry, I ended up taking it home and adding more sauce to it. They also use chicken breast which also lends to the dryness, I love and wish they used grilled chicken thighs! Their specialty is Poke bowls so maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Also strange set up they have going on, when you open the front door there is a table set up right there where you order from then they tell you to come back in about 15 minutes for your food, you cannot wait inside and no eating in there? read more

I had just come out of an appointment and needed lunch so I pulled out my phone to search what's nearby. I saw this place and thought "Meh, why not?" but that quickly went away when I was ordering online. What da what???? I can add octopus and scallops to my poke bowl???? Oh this is a game changer! I through those in my bowl and got two of their spam musubi. I also got a bowl for my babe with cream cheese, tuna, and veggies. I drove up the street and pulled up to the shop. Their entire dining area is closed and they are only doing takeout. The lady helping with the orders was such a sweetheart and let me sit down inside as she saw I was using a cane. She also offered to help me take it to the car but that wasn't necessary and thanked her for her kindness. I couldn't wait to dig in when I got home but when I finally got there and got settled, it was a wrap. The octopus and scallops (bay scallops to be precise) were so fresh and delicious I cursed the fact that they weren't closer to my home. I was so satisfied. I do admit that there was a fair amount of brown rice left over as they packed it tight. My babe enjoyed his as well. The spam musubi was delicious and after not having it for a really long time, I remembered how much I love the combo of rice, spam, nori, and soy sauce together. This is definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

I checked out Poke Cafe after a day at the beach. I was really in the mood for a rice bowl and excited to try this as an option. I went onto their website, where I was able to view their entire menu and place my order online (I didn't see the option of paying online, but you can place your order and pickup at their location). They had a wide variety of items to choose from (sushi burritos, rice bowls, soup, dumplings, tea), I opted to get their $9.99 poke bowl. This bowl came with two scoops of your choice (lettuce, sushi rice, fried rice, etc.). I opted for the fried rice. Then you get to choose your proteins. They had something for everyone, whether you wanted tofu, tuna, octopus, or chicken, they had it. I went with the shrimp tempura and grilled chicken. Then you could choose up to five add-ins, like tomatoes, corn, avocados, etc. (some had up charges, but they are labeled). Then you get to choose your sauce(s), you get up to three choices and you can either get the sauces directly on your meal OR you can get them on the side. You also can choose toppings like sesame seeds, seaweed, fish eggs, etc. Once I placed the order for our group, I was given the option to choose to pick it up immediately OR choose a designated time. I choose immediately and was told based at the time of ordering it would be ready for pick up in 5-10 minutes. Poke Cafe is located in the new strip mall where Lemongrass Thai and Relish burgers reside. There is ample parking available. When I went to go pick up our meal, there were signs on Poke Cafe stating they aren't allowing anyone into their restaurant and they would be out to help you. I masked up, went outside to Poke Cafe and a woman who was masked up and also had on a face shield came to the door, I let her know our order, she ran my card, I signed it (they also had bottles of hand sanitizer outside) and she said she'd bring it out to the car when it was done. Literally five minutes later she came out, handed us our meals and we were on our way. The meal was good. I was happy with the amount of protein I received in my bowl. It was pretty generous. I also liked the sauce options I was given. Everything tasted fresh and was flavorful. Will I be back? You bet. Pros: -Variety of options to choose from -COVID 19 precautions taken (i.e. face masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, not allowing people inside their restaurant and pickup only) -Ability to order online -Good customer service -Tasty food Cons: -I wish you could pay online at the time of ordering Tips: Since they were so quick, it may be easier to order in the parking lot and just wait there while they make your food. read more

Poke Cafe is near our home so this is our go-to place for when we don't have time to cook. I have tried their Hawaiian Poké Bowl and it was good! The ingredients were fresh and very filling. Other entrees that we tried were mostly the rice bowls such as chicken and pork Katsu and chicken Teriyaki. I wanted to try beef but was surprised there was non in the menu. Hmmm I wonder why? Would've loved some Beef Teriyaki or Gyudon. They also offer Ramen which I have yet to try but with this weather, I think I'll wait till December lol. My stepson and his girlfriend are also regular customers here. They love the rice bowls and their favorite Thai Boba Tea. Great food and affordable too! Let's support local businesses during this pandemic! Poke Cafe will not disappoint! read more

It's #ThankYouThursday shout out and I am hollering at you, Poke Cafe. I have known the owner and staff for quite some time now ever since from their last business venture, a sushi shop.... whom I frequented often. I was pretty bummed when they sold that sushi shop. Then they decide to come back and pursue into a different food venture, serving Pokes and Ramen dishes...and haven't missed a beat. Seems like whatever they decide to get their hands on, they do it well. The food here is 2Legit2Quit. Top that off with a friendly, accommodating staff. What more can you ask for? #ThankYouThursday read more

It was COLD today! I needed an inner body heater! So I headed to Poke Cafe for Udon. First off, a lovely lady in charge was so hospitable. I had Shrimp Tempura Udon, vegetable spring rolls, and iced green tea. It all was phenomenal. The tempura shrimp were large and light golden brown, flaky, and delicious. The udon was so flavorful and soul warming. Love those big fat noodles. It was perfect. The spring rolls were fresh, delicious, and the sauce with them was excellent. I added some hot pepper oil to it for a little kick. They provide everything you need to personalize any way you wish. Even the green tea was outstanding to compliment the food I really like this place. The food is always wonderful and the people nice. Always very clean as well. read more

*Visited & reviewed during Covid* I've driven past this place multiple times and it always looks so good in pictures, so I had to try it! We ordered by phone and the food was ready very quickly. For Covid, they have a table outside where they bring your food so customers don't have to go inside. The employees were very polite and wore masks and gloves. I got the Supreme Sushi Burrito, which was good. It is a big piece of seaweed wrapping rice, crab, and shrimp. Everything tasted fresh. My mom got the Hawaiian bowl, which looked beautiful. The menu items are very healthy, which I love, and great quality for the price. 4 Stars because I got food poisoning from here, but my mom really enjoyed her food and she was fine. read more

I tried the Poke Cafe for lunch and was pleased with the meal and service, though I did think the portion was a bit small. One huge plus was that one of the proteins was baby octopus. A real treat. In addition to the baby octopus, I had the spicy ahi tuna and regular tuna. Added to that, a poke bowl has rice and a variety of toppings. Poke has become quite popular and offers a healthy choice for lunch. I enjoy this new culinary trend and am happy to see more establishments opening and putting their interpretation to this great dish. read more

Pretty good, tuna was tasty and there were lots of options for toppings which was great!

Raaaammmeeennnn. The shoyu here has a light but satisfying broth with a good amount of pork. As usual, I'm not a big fan of the corn in ramen, but it's not bad in this case. I seem to dislike it more in stronger broths. Big slice of nori - check. Menma - check. Soft boiled egg (that's sliced in half and actually soft boiled) - check. Kamaboko - check. Excellent. I also ordered a classic Hawaiian poke bowl. It was delicious, with the tuna and salmon spear-heading high quality umami. The seaweed salad in it is also a delight. It seems quite fresh. Like any good rice bowl, all the ingredients complement each other, and it's not just a bowl of food that happens to have rice in it. Another five stars for one of my favorite foods. read more

Since my previous review I've tried quite a few other places with poke bowls, especially on this side of town, but I still believe Poke Cafe has the best, most fresh bowls. They always taste great and are filling. I typically go with the tuna poke, no onions or cilantros but they have lots of options, including build your own bowl. They also have ramen and rice bowls but I stick with the poke every time. Right now they're only doing takeout. Order online or over the phone, they have it ready in 5-10 minutes, bring it out to you (they always have a mask on) and you pay and are on your merry way. Can't recommend it enough. read more

Great fast online ordering that made pick up easy and on time. We created our own bowls. Some toppings included pineapple, mandarin oranges, avocado (extra cost), cucumbers, eel sauce, spicy Mayo, tempura toppings and wonton crackers over a white rice, tuna and cooked shrimp base. Pair it with a matcha boba and you've got yourself a tasty lunch. read more

So so good! Such friendly folks and absolutely delicious poke! Perfect rice to topping ratio. Sauces are amazing and you get up to 3 per bowl unlike other stingy places. Toppings are fresh and you get so many with a build your own bowl. Decent pricing among other places. Will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

The food here is very good. I appreciate that they accommodate my needs and everything taste very fresh. I typically get the Hawaiian poke bowl with a side of yum yum sauce. Recently we were at the beer place next-door, and ordered a couple of appetizers: pork dumplings and spring rolls. Yum! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I love this little place both now in times of Covid and before. Right now it's take out only which is fine with me. The poke is so good. I usually get tuna and salmon but today opted for salmon and shrimp shrimp is always a risky choice because I am sooo picky. But their shrimp is fresh and doesn't take like preservatives so hurray! I also love I can get some lettuce and some sushi rice as the base. The ponzu sauce and ginger dressings are great though I wish they had yuzu sauce. I just grabbed my bottle of TJ's at home and was good to go. Yummy unsweetened jasmine tea available too. read more

Two had a half stars really.... I really hate writing this review. I had such high hopes for Poke Café. It is only a few blocks from work so I wanted this to be a regular place to go for lunch. However I am saddened to say I was disappointed with just about each aspect of the restaurant. I came in on a Friday around lunch and it wasn't too busy, there was one family ahead of me and one or two people behind me. I looked over the menu and decided on a poke bowl. I chose to have white rice with spicy tuna, tuna, spicy mayo, cucumber, pineapple and avocado. Not too much..... I waited about 10 minutes for my bowl to be made, they made mine before the family so mine was first to come out. The assembler of the items really just took no care in putting it together and was very slow. It felt very disorganized. When I got back to work, I started eating my bowl. The first thing I noticed was that there was no avocado. I called and they said the forgot and next time I came in, I could get extra for free but not just get avocado and not be charged...odd..... The tuna was good, it tasted fresh. The spicy tuna was not spicy and tasted very fishy which from my experience means it's getting a bit older. I had that bad fishy taste in my mouth for quite a while. The cucumber was cut in large slices and still had the skin on the cucumber which wasn't entirely pleasant. The pineapple was fine. There wasn't enough rice for the bowl either. I ran out of rice with still having toppings left. I will probably return once more and try it again, but this will not be a new place for me and probably won't be a regular place for me. Kazu Sushi Burrito is just 10 minutes up the road and a heck of a lot better. They also let you see your items as its being made. One more tiny piece of criticism... This Poke Café felt a lot like a cheap Chinese restaurant. They event provide the horribly cheap soy sauce made with caramel color and corn syrup. Quality is not a number 1 priority. read more

Well, I'll be! This new Poké spot is legit and the Poké is DELISH! (Ooh, that rhymed!) Seeing that it was "hot and new" on Yelp (and I've been craving Poké upon finding that they took it off the menu at Bonefish the other day), I stopped in for lunch. It's definitely off the beaten path for me, but I... "Will Drive for Pokè!" The owner was super sweet and awesome in helping me hone in on my order when EVERYTHING looked good! I almost even went for the Ramen and had to refocus my thoughts-- No! Poké, I'm here for Poké! I landed on the Hawaiian Poké (salmon and tuna, since I couldn't decide)-- add your sauces and BAM! -- Heaven in a Poké bowl. My chopsticks forced me to eat with a bit of class, although I truly wanted to shovel it all down -- but just you wait until I get these leftovers home! (lol) They don't have iced tea yet, and I had to settle for a fountain drink. They also didn't have brown rice available for the Poké (and said it would take 40 minutes for it to be ready--yeesh). But being that this restaurant is a whopping TWO days old, I'll give them a pass. Great first visit, and I'll be back for Ramen real soon! Geez... and the number of times I said "Poké" in this review is insane! (Sorry!) read more

Finally, a poké cafe near my work. I had a slow day at work so walked in for a little lunch and wanted to try out this place. The interior was nicely done and it was clean. The menus are on the wall so it was nice to see it. Many great healthy selections and you can also make your own meal however you like. I got the Hawaiian Poké bowl and it consisted of tuna, salmon, cucumbers, onions, avocado, edamame, seaweed salad, green onions, fish eggs, furikake (dry japanese seasoning), and house poké. It was a great blend of fresh fish and ingredients. The flavor was great except one little thing they can maybe change. They can maybe chop the white onion slightly smaller as the large chunks can be overwhelming at each scoop. But, other than that, everything else was tasteful and presentation was great. The staff were very nice and attentive. The have a beverage dispenser and water cups. I would definitely come back during lunch. read more

I was super stoked to have a Ramen place opened near my house. The plaza is new so the furnitures are new as well so that's a plus. The owner was very nice and friendly. The inside is modern and street style, it's more of a quick bite decor than a dine in restaurant though. It's quite crammed so we pretty much heard the whole conversation of the people that sat right next to us. The ramen tasted pretty fresh and the broth was good but they need to include more meat. I had the Tonkotsu and hubby had the Miso. Our soup cooled down pretty fast since they serve it in a plastic container with plastic spoons. I wish they will use regular bowls in the future because I would much rather enjoy my ramen instead of rushing through it. Each bowl costs $11.50 so it's on the higher end. I also had a taro milk tea, and it was pretty good. Not too sweet, $3.50 not including boba. My over all experience was ok, I would come back to try other items on the menu but probably not the Ramen again because they were just mediocre. read more
