    We ordered: 1. Salmon, Tuna, Octopus poke bowl 2. Sushi Burrito - salmon, tuna, cucumber, carrot, cilantro, green onion, rice seasoning, poke sauce, Sriracha mayo 3. Spam Musubi, Takoyaki, Ube Coconut Cupcake Very impressed with food quality overall. Fish was fresh and rice was cooked properly. I liked that the proportions in sushi Burrito wasn't too much. It makes the burrito balanced and more delicious. Spam Musubi was solid. I liked that the Takoyaki was a little firm and not totally mushy. Ube cupcake was moist and very ube-y. No issues with service. Plenty of seating inside.

    Absolutely enjoyed the ambiance, but the food was lacking an abundance of flavor. The spam musubi was very dry and had no flavor to it. It was fully packed on with a huge quantity of rice, but it was disappointing. The Ube Queso was light, airy and not too sweet - it was prob the most memorable out of everything. However, I will say that their fish is very fresh and the portions of the poke bowls were great. Overall, it was very mid and I most likely won't be revisiting.

    Poke Okie was great! The decor of the restaurant is so lovely and well done. The pink painted bathroom is a beautiful color. I might need to know the name of that paint color. The staff was soft spoken but polite and professional. We ordered the three protein poke bowls. I also ordered a smoothie. The smoothie was good but super tart. It needed slightly more sweetener. The poke bowls were very fresh ingredients and everything was very good. The fish was very fresh as well. We ordered the samoa donut and ube cookie as a dessert. $6.50 was a bit steep for a donut but I had to try it. It was worth it. Overall this would be a place we would return to.

    Very excited to have a new poke option in Avondale! Poke Okie has a Chipotle style 'make your own poke' bowls with options like salmon, tofu, and shrimp with tons of veggie and sauce options. They also have signature poke bowl like roasted duck and teriyaki mushroom plus salads and smoothies! I chose the tofu bowl and it was delicious! Service was excellent and I'm excited to have a healthy lunch option nearby. They're located near a few other recently opened Avondale businesses including Loaf Lounge and Magnifico Coffee.

    Place in my neighborhood is amazing that ordered the two scoops. Let me tell you it was more than enough to feed me. The sushi fish pieces were fresh and a big amount going back. Love the inside and I love the plants.!!

    Poke is the ultimate choose your own adventure food. This place has so many vegan options plus meat and fish for those that prefer. Everything was fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back.

    Build your own bowl: mine had tuna, spicy tuna, mango, and a few other toppings. I also had the Floral Green Tea.

    Excellent food and friendly service. The portions are generous and the fish tasted extremely fresh. I liked the variety of toppings offered, including some that I have not seen at other Poke restaurants like dried octopus, tobiko fish eggs, and spam. I enjoyed the presentation of the food, too. I ordered a medium sized build your own bowl with two different kinds of tuna. It was served in a heavy ceramic bowl- felt better to eat on than plastic. The utensils were also not plastic and the straw in my drink was reusable as well. These are small things that I appreciated and my overall dining experience here was great. I would recommend this spot to anyone craving fresh fish in the Avondale/Irving Park area.

    3 protein bowl.

    I stopped by Poke Okie and ordered a 3 protein bowl. The menu was a bit intimidating, but the staff guided me through. In the end, I had the most delicious meal! I chose shrimp, salmon & tuna which was awesome. It was full of veggies, and the sauce was on point. It's a healthier option in the area and a nice addition to the food scene here in Avondale!

    Really cute place with tasty poke and fresh fish. Great addition to Avondale/Logan Square area. Definitely recommend!

    Thrilled a poke place opened up in the neighborhood! For the price (~$14-16/bowl) you get a substantial bowl filled with toppings and sauces over either rice or greens. I really like that the bowls are customizable, where you select a number of ingredients from different sections. The choices are varied and taste fresh. The interior is cute with tables for dine-in, but the poke holds up for carry out as well.

    Best thing to hit Avondale this year! Incredibly fresh ingredients. You can build your own bowl or order a set dish. The owners/staff are super friendly and accommodating. Poke Okie is run by the owners of Sipping Turtle and the food here is as good as the drinks are there. The space is light, airy, and feels very tropical. Soooo good!!

    This is my favorite poke bowl place. Wish it was closer to me so I could come more but I stop by any time I'm around. Def recommend.

    Ramen Wasabi will always have me at a chokehold. Probably by far the best ramen spot in Chicago,…read moreand that is saying a lot since I've been to many different ramen restaurants in the city. Ramen Wasabi has no reservations. The wait times vary, but sometimes there are seats readily available. There are bar seats available and a large middle table that you share with other parties. Service has always been good for us, and we're known as regulars there now Karaage - Fried Chicken Nuggets: An absolute must for any craving. Plenty to share with friends and the togarashi mayo dip is super delicious with it. Juicy bites with crispy batter, making everything about this appetizer perfect. Signature Tonkotsu (with Spice Umami): the noodles are sooo bouncy. I love how rich the broth is and how easy it is to bite into the Char Siu. It is so filling and honestly reminds me of my time in Japan. Tokyo Classic Shoyu (with Spice Umami): lighter broth compared to the tonkotsu, but just as delicious. This is another must-try! Ramen Wasabi will always remain as my top ramen shop in Chicago. Never had a miss with this. I would love to try their other dishes (donburi) when I have the chance...but their ramen is too good to not order

    Food was decent. I went for dinner and I was impressed with the salad, wings and ramen. Everything…read morehad some spice to it but it wasn't overpowering. Service was good.

    LOVE this place! Booked us a reservation for our special day and we had the kindest server. Love…read morethe food and the experience we had. They have an express lunch deal if you're not looking at the main menu on the weekday, and it's affordable! Can't wait to come back when we're in Chicago!

    genuinely one of the worst service experiences i've had in chicago…read more my friends and i were seeing each other for the first time in almost a year, so we came in excited and talkative. somehow, this was interpreted as us being excessively intoxicated. we weren't. the alcohol itself was NEVER the issue. restaurants should refuse service when someone is visibly intoxicated. the issue was an assumption about our table becoming a game of telephone among the staff. there appeared to be a staff or shift change, and whatever concern existed about our supposed "intoxication" was passed along rather than independently assessed. we were told we needed to get "food in us" before ordering drinks. we ate, asked again, and ultimately had to ask at least THREE times before being served. even then, our server made a pointed comment about how we finally had "food in us." i've eaten at sushi-san before and ordered drinks before food without ANY issue, so the contrast was jarring. then, when my friend finally received her drink, she was specifically told, "it wasn't you." if it wasn't her, who exactly at our table had been designated the problem, and based on what? apparently there was plenty of communication ABOUT us, just none WITH us. meanwhile, patrons who appeared FAR more intoxicated continued to be served normally. i also experienced an explicitly racist interaction with another patron in the bathroom who appeared considerably more intoxicated than anyone at our table. obviously sushi-san cannot control another customer's behavior, but the contrast was hard to ignore. they eventually brought us a sake bomb to make amends, but it was delivered with such visible reluctance that the gesture felt almost insulting. by that point, we ordered considerably less than planned because we wanted to leave. if someone is genuinely too intoxicated to serve, address them directly and respectfully. don't pass assumptions between employees, make a table repeatedly ask for drinks after meeting your "food in us" requirement, and tell one person "it wasn't you" while leaving everyone else to wonder who had been singled out. we came in excited to see each other after almost a year apart and left early because of the service. for a restaurant at this price point, the way this was handled was embarrassingly unprofessional.

    now *this* is great okonomiyaki…read more coming from seattle and very recently having a disastrous experience at the only okonomiyaki spot in our area (you can read my past reviews for that), my two friends, my partner, and i were looking forward to having great okonomiyaki. thankfully, gaijin delivered! we came by on a friday night, and it was fairly busy. we wouldn't have been surprised if we were turned away since we didn't have a reservation. they ended up making space for us thankfully and we didn't even have to wait long at all. the inside of the place isn't that big, but it's not so tiny that it's cramped. when you sit down, if you are in a large enough party, you sit down in front of a flat stovetop to keep your okonomiyaki warm when the waiter brings it out to you. we started with some drinks. they were all very good - next time i'm trying that espresso goma-tini! i did get a lychee martini though, and it was a little strong of a pour but i still really enjoyed it. onto the okonomiyaki. we all ordered different ones so we could try them. every single one of them were delicious. i got the tofu osaka-style, my partner got the beef osaka-style, one of my friends got the fried shrimp osaka-style, and my other friend got the traditional hiroshima-style. each okonomiyaki is prepared perfectly, not too thick and not overly saucy (so it doesn't get soggy). the flavours are quite rich but also really nicely umami. sometimes, too rich of a sauce kind of overwhelms me, but the ratios are well-balanced. overall, truly recommend this place. probably some of the best okonomiyaki i've had. next time i'm in chicago, i'd love to go again. there's so many options to choose from and i want to try them all!

    I've been wanting to try Okonomiyaki for a long time, so when I saw that they had it I had to stop…read moreby! It's really cool in here because you can watch them make the Okonomiyaki in front of you! They had like a set meal going on which included soup and okonomiyaki and dessert, which was mochi donuts. The soup was pretty good, standard. The Okonomiyaki was such a big portion. I loved the little tempura bits on top and they were generous with the amount of shrimp. It's like a yummy savory pancake. I will say I didn't really enjoy the mochi donuts but I was so full I couldn't eat them until later so it may have been because they weren't as fresh and got hard. If you've been wanting to try Okonomiyaki you should check this place out!
