    Poke bowl
    Alexis S.

    Affordable poke in a good spot in st Pete. This is a go to for locals. When I got there there were only 1 other person in line ahead of me. When I got up to order the employee was very nice to me and ask me what I wanted. This place is like chipotle for poke! I got spicy salmon and spicy tuna which was delicious. They also have free water and nice seating. One thing I will say is to bring cash because the credit card fee is a bit expensive but that's no one's fault. Besides that I had a great experience. The inside is clean and the music isn't too loud. This is my number one when it comes to poke bowls. I've been here twice already!

    Stopped by for a poke bowl and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the food was, as well as how good their boba teas are. Some toppings that are free at other places are extras here, but the sauces and toppings were all very good. Packaging is eco friendly, which is nice to see, and the service was great. The mango green tea boba was exceptional. Not too sweet or tart, and a really nice cup. Small strip mall exterior with a great little spot.

    Friendly quick service and amazing Poke. Great selection of ingredients. Whole family enjoyed. Highly recommended!

    Such an amazing poke place! They are located in a small strip mall, so the parking situation is really easy with about 20 parking spots (usually never more than 3-5 cars parked there). The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous! All of their ingredients are insanely fresh, and I love all their different sauce choices. I wish the seaweed salad didn't cost extra, but oh well! I look forward to this being a regular place of mine.

    I've been to a few poke places in Tampa now and have been disappointed with the quality of their sushi but this location offered better quality and nice big cuts. The ingredients were fresh and they cut your avocado fresh so it's not just sitting out there for a while. The brown rice was cooked perfectly and the portion sizes are generous. This is so far my favorite poke place so far.

    Yum! I love Poke' and am so glad we found this place. Service was friendly, the food fresh and the dining area very clean. I would highly recommend. And grab a Thai iced tea while you are there. So good!

    I love poke bowls, and when my friend and I knew we were going to be in this area around lunch time, it was a no-brainer to try Poke Island. Like most of the recent poke places to spring up, you walk down the row in front of a glass counter, telling the person making your bowl if you want rice or salad as a base, then picking your protein, then the add-ons to the bowl like vegetables, avocado, crunchy onions, etc. Their food was good, and I did enjoy my bowl, but it was disappointing that some things which are included at other poke places (like masago or krab salad) were an extra fee at this place. My two protein bowl with masago was almost $15, which is a bit high. My favorite poke places are still by USF, Tampa Campus, and in Seminole Heights, but I would probably come back if I were in the area.

    Almost as yummy as the yummy sauce they offer! Affordable poke spot near Pinellas Park with plentiful toppings. Each bowl is priced depending on the protein and then all topping are included except avocado masago. They also have a selection of smoothies or iced teas for purchase. Definitely try here- you won't regret it!

    It's hard to find a GOOD poke bowl. They are always spot on and customer service is fantastic! I would give ten stars if I could. The boba drinks are sweet and delicious as well! I have been able to get all of my friends and family hooked onto Poke Island. We're all recurring customers. The ambiance is similar to fast food so you're quick to get in line and quick to get out of it to enjoy your delicious bowl.

    Why 4 stars? Because this is a solid option for poke in Pinellas Park. --- --- --- I learned about Poke Island from Yelp's Top 50 in Tampa Bay list that came out a few months ago. Anytime I see a business with a cumulative 5-star rating, I try to make it a high priority to visit. So when I was headed from St. Pete back to Tampa, I made a slide detour over to Pinellas Park. Poke Island is like most poke places and centers around the concept of building your own bowl - choosing a base, protein, veggies, toppings and sauce. I concocted a creation of all the random things I liked and figured I'd add a taro/coconut boba to the mix. The poke bowl was quite tasty. It was all quite compact in the bowl, which did make it a bit tough to fish around for various ingredients, but that was my only issue. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it! And the boba was also pretty great, I just wish the consistency was a tad thicker. If I lived nearby, this would definitely be a place I'd be visiting regularly, but since I'm about 20 miles away, I'll just have to cross my fingers that we get one of these concepts in Carrollwood one day.

    There are so many poke place pop up lately. This is second poke island I have seen. I like it particularly is their choices of the protein. They have something that other poke place do not offer. The protein has eel, Tempura shrimp, tomago, squid. These items is not normally serve. They have served a Yummy sauce which is spicy sesame is lovely. Mixed it with eel and poke sauce will make this perfect. I would said one part of yummy and poke sauce and two part of eel sauce is the way I like it. It you don't want it sweet, just use one part of eel sauce. I like the way they have the sauce on the rice first then pile all ingredients and sauce on the top. To make better, I would suggest sauce and ingredients mixed and put over rice. Then topping. This will increase the best taste. Price is good. But more protein did not mean you get more food. I would suggest that more protein with more food.

    Poke 3 Scoop Salad Bowl--so good.

    This place was SO GOOD. I've been driving past this nondescript sushi spot for years and I had the biggest craving for some Poke so I decided to randomly pop in. After having lived in Asia for half a decade and traveling up and down the West coast, I've become something of a Poke snob. I was pleasantly surprised! The tuna and salmon both tasted super fresh and the spicy tuna was just as well seasoned as you'd expect from a Poke spot in LA or SF. They also had tons of toppings and serving size was massive. I also ordered the crab wontons. They weren't anything special but if you have that very specific craving for crab wontons they get the job done. I will definitely be back for the next time my poke craving hits!

    The staff members are super nice and polite, and the inside of the restaurant is super clean. I love the portion size and everything is always delicious and fresh!

    What does the avocado boba taste like? Is it sweet? Does it have the jelly or bursting boba in it? Thank you :)

    I haven't had the avocado one but the boba they use is the typical brown sugar tapioca pearls! The bubble tea there is in more a of smoothie form.

    They had their grand re-opening last Tuesday and we went Thursday as they are back open after 7…read morelong months! They were victim to a fire but are back full speed ahead with impeccable service, food, & drinks as ever. The staff is both friendly and genuinely wants you to have a good experience. They have mastered both the Thai and Japanese aspects of the menu (obviously in the name but a lot of places are strong in only certain categories). Everything we tried was insane. The Krab Rangoons really stood out to me as those are a dish everyone loves and wants to order at each place and they do theirs spring roll style so you get a bite of everything in every single bite - it's not all in the middle or barely filled. The Thai teas blew us away. We couldn't get enough. The rolls WOWWW was so hard to decide but our server, Kyle hooked it up with the recs. Same with the Thai side of the menu - the fried rice AND the pad kee mao were FIRE. I really wanted to try the curry but will definitely get next time as we could only order/eat so much! Can't wait to go back!!! What we ordered: - Krab rangoons (served in spring roll form - best form imo) - Garlic edamame - Basil fried rice w/ chicken - Pad kee mao w/ beef - TST roll - Angry bird roll - Volcano roll - Dragon roll - Salmon nigiri - Thai tea (og) - Thai green tea (matcha)

Really crispy exterior and delicious inside! Had 2 different sushi rolls - tuna roll and deep fried roll. The tuna was better but only due to personal preference and I didn't realize that I wouldn't like the texture after deep frying. Love the interior and glad they rebuilt after the fire!

The servers are always warm, friendly, and attentive. The galbi is a little expensive, but it is absolutely worth the price because of its exceptional quality and flavor. The Seafood Soft Tofu Stew and Beef Soft Tofu Stew are the best soondubu dishes we have ever had anywhere in the United States. The Seafood Pancake is also perfectly crispy and incredibly delicious. We have been loyal customers for about four years, and every time we visit, the owner's family welcomes us warmly and asks how we've been. They truly make us feel like part of the family.

On this evening visit, my friend and I shared the Galbi and kimchi soup, and it was plenty of food for two. The Galbi was perfectly seasoned, served sizzling on a hot platter with rice, and absolutely delicious. The banchan was fresh, flavorful, and complemented the meal perfectly. The prices have gone up over the years, but the portions are large and the quality remains excellent, so I still think it's well worth it.
