If you are looking for poke that is actually like how it is in Hawaii, this is the perfect spot. This is a small establishment with both outdoor and indoor seating. Theres a fair amount of parking in the back which is nice. The fish tasted fresh, sauces were very flavorful, and toppings paired very nicely with the fish! It didn't take them long at all for the food to be ready. I love how it's all incorporated with the fish just like how it's done in Hawaiian style poke. I got the salmon with the yowza yuzu recipe and it was fantastic. I am definitely coming back whenever I am craving poke.

Best poke in Austin in my opinion! It's simple and you get a ton of fish, I love Hawaiian style poke like this.

Went for lunch and got one scoop of spicy tuna with avocado and scallions mixed in - amazing. My favorite poke I've tried around town - it's about $13 or so for the one scoop with rice - pretty good lunch size portion. Would def get two scoops for dinner / if you are really hungry. Service was quick / ordered online and it was ready when I came in and staff was friendly. Some indoor and outdoor seating available too! Pretty cute space inside I will def be coming back - amazing poke!!

One of my favorite poke spots (if not, my fav)!! I love the fact that you can pick between salmon or tuna, or a mix and that you can add either rice as your entire base or mix it with any of their salads (mine was an incredible cucumber salad). I absolutely loved the flavors and additions that i added (avocado and edamame). i do with that the size was maybe a little bit bigger, but i understand its straight cuts of thick raw fish, so makes sense its not a super huge portion. I will definitely keep coming back- i love how nice and friendly the staff is, and how theres inside and outdoor seating, which is perfect for this upcoming weather. Overall a super great visit with amazing poke, will DEFINITELY be back soon. (oh and there's parking)

a cute lil poke shop in austin. the people were super nice and were happy to help us since we took so long to look at the menu lol. great food i loved how fresh the fish was and the ratio of fish to rice to seaweed salad to sauce they put. i would just say the portion was smaller than i expected. if you're really hungry or looking for something to fill you up, somewhere else might be better, but for quality i think this place was pretty good!

Traditional Spicy Tuna Poke, where are the add ons??  Traditional Spicy Tuna Poke

Ordered with Uber Eats. I order edamame, cucumber, ginger & avocado add ons. I got none of these. I ordered 2 different bowls. Plain tuna and rice. Small portions. Not the first time I have been disappointed here. I won't be back. Don't bother ordering from here. They are terrible.

Ahi poke and salmon (large size)
Kara M.

Still the best, most authentic poke in the city! Pricy for the portions, but worth it if you simply want genuine poke without too many frills. I usually go for the "large" size bowl (2 scoops + a base), but recently I've felt that the 1/2 LB. of poke + 8 oz. of rice is a better deal (more filling and around the same price as a large bowl depending on what you select). Fast, casual service. Limited seating indoors and on their patio. Happy hour is daily from 4:30-6pm, with $2 off beer, wine, and sake and 10% off poke. My favorites are The OG, Big Jim, and the Yowza Yuzu. Parking is a small, private, one-way lot or street parking. Can't wait to revisit when I feel like splurging a bit on the best quality and flavor poke!

Solid spot great service! Food was great and good beer selection on draft I got a mango cart wheat Ale, stop by it's worth it

I haven't been here in ages but I went recently and it was good as the first time I've had it! I got the 50/50 Ahi & Salmon with JT Poke sauce and I really enjoyed it.

Samantha F.

There are quite a few poke places in austin, but none like poke poke. This is the only poke place I feel confident knowing I'm getting good quality raw fish. I always eat the Lil Ahi Poke JT's style, and it never disappoints. The staff is so kind and welcoming, often remembering me and my order. It's genuinely a great experience. 4 stars because of the price. I feel like every few months it gets more and more expensive. For my small bowl (one scoop of poke and one scoop of white rice) and a drink, it's $17.50 + tip. Definitely a good place to eat if you're not starving, as the portions would be too small (unless you get a pound, which would be upward of $35). But nonetheless, I always come back, the quality and service outweighs the steep pricing.

I've been to Poke Poke at least 10-15 times now, usually as a fallback when I didn't feel like driving to better poke spots in Austin. Nearly every time, I've dealt with issues--wrong orders, missing ingredients, and staff with a consistently bad attitude. Today was the first time they actually got my order right... but then topped it off with unnecessary sarcasm and rudeness. At this point, it's not just a bad day--it's a pattern. I won't be back. There's a reason this place is usually empty. If you're looking for good poke in Austin, I'd recommend Pokeworks on Riverside or Pokeworks near North Campus--both are consistently fresh, accurate, and actually friendly.

I had never been, but it was really close to where I was at, so I gave it a try. First things first, this a beautiful location with lots of seating at the bar and throughout the restaurant. The service is A1, I sat at the bar and was very impressed with the team's chemistry back there (especially while training someone new, they were spot on). The drinks were wonderful as well, very refreshing and lots of flavor. I enjoyed a yuzu & lavender sour & a grapefruit margarita and was impressed with how flavor forward the drinks were while still having a great boozy after effect. Also, I know traditionally oysters aren't usually a thing that you enjoy during the months that don't have an R in them, but I have to say salt traders definitely defied that "rule". Hands down some of my favorite oysters I have EVER had; I enjoyed the Va Va Vooms from Maryland and the Demariscotta Oysters from Maine and still haven't been able to stop thinking about them (it's been about a week or so now & I'm already planning to go back)! I also enjoyed the torched scallop nigiri, the daily crudo, and the salmon plate (that Dijon bbq sauce was craaaazy good, I'll have to order an extra serving of the sauce on the side next time I enjoyed it so much). Lastly, this place has an amazing happy hour, which I noticed fills up fast. Highly recommend going to Salt Trader's if you haven't yet. Great spot for solo dining, with your partner in crime, or bringing a group!

Was craving some Cajun boil seafood and this place didn't disappoint. Located in a food truck lot,…read morewe ordered the dinner krab dinner. Include: (2) krab clusters, (10) shrimp, sausage, corn, egg, and potatoes. Ordered it "suicide" style which basically means all of the sauces/flavors together. Places great. Food cost was ~$45. Arrived around 2:00pm on a Saturday and food came out in like 7 minutes. Didn't skimp on spices and butter. Plenty of to fill two people up for lunch and leave the room to be able to try things either within the same food truck lot or somewhere else. We elected to grab coffee else where. The guy working was super friendly and helpful. Even took the trash bag to throw away the shells for us. We didn't ask but the one critique is to include crackers apart of the orders or simply pre crack the claws before you hand out the bag. Got creative with breaking the harder shells. Other than that, food was great, will be back if we come back to Austin.

There was another…read moretruck in the park closed and I was worried they are too because it's tucked into a corner and there aren't lights or anything, but I LOVE seafood so I got closer to check and saw the paper open sign in the window. The man cooking is incredibly sweet and came in clutch when I forgot to order seasoning. I was visiting from a region known for crab/seafood boils and was not disappointed! Crab tends to turn to shreds when it's overboiled, and I was EASILY pulling out nice, intact pieces from the shell, so no worries about that here. If you're in the area, definitely approach the truck even if it looks closed--worth it to double check!

To start we tried the sikil pak and loved it! The chips were perfect and the dip was similar to a pesto. Really enjoyed the juicy tomatoes it comes with too. For entrees and small plates we tried the fish tacos, the fried avocado tacos, barbacoa tacos, the duck tostada, and the shrimp dish. Really loved the shrimp and the barbacoa tacos. The other tacos were good but a little dry. The fish and avocado tacos are the same except for the protein inside. The duck tostada was good, not great. I did love the hot sauce that came with it and was putting it on my tacos. For dessert we got the tres leches and it was delicious! Came for a birthday dinner and they bring out a sparkler with your dessert. Overall, the vibes were great and the food was good but didn't eat anything that amazed me. Definitely want to come back for their taco happy hour!

It was one of those moments were you kinda take a couple of bites, take it in...gently nod your head a couple of times, and softly say to yourself, "yep, yep, that's it". The other taco that made me feel like that was also a ribeye taco at La Buena Barra in MTY, MX. It's one of those things that changes your mood, your emotional state etc. It really was that good. Now that we have that out of the way, how was the other food? Excellent! We have four dishes and I'd would rank them: 1) catchetada 2) (tied) cochinita pibil & ceviche 4) fish tacos Both the cochinita pibil and ceviche were excellent - loved how the meat was wrapped in a banana leaf. The ceviche tasted so fresh with such interesting flavors to it. Similar to Suerte (which I loved) the tortillas are great. The 4th ranked fish tacos were fine, but didn't stand out that much ( and yes, i know, this probably isn't the joint for fish tacos) The space, both inside and out, was beautiful, the service is attentive and friendly (incl. hostess & servers), good drinks. Lastly, I have to say the value - what you get for the price ($15 taco notwithstanding) is some of the best in ATX! Este is one i can't wait to return to and would recommend and bring family / friends visiting. Can't wait to come back and try many other things as this is now one of my favorite restaurants

Completely different experience from when they first opened!…read more We had reservations but had to wait a little while before our table became available. We didn't mind, but Arielle, the Maître d', made the experience even better by offering us a complimentary beverage. It was unexpected and such a thoughtful gesture. As soon as we were seated, Johnathan took excellent care of us. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided fantastic recommendations. We tried the este ceviche, tuna tiradito, quesadilla de hongos, and pescado a la crema--every dish was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The Garden G&T was refreshing and perfectly crafted. They now offer a daily happy hour from 5-6 p.m., and on Fridays from 12-5 p.m. they feature specials on select bites, $10 margaritas, and 25% off bottles of wine. That definitely ensures I'll be back for many more visits!

During the holidays, it is especially appealing with all the Christmas decorations and lights. From the parking garage, you meander through the hotel to the casual restaurant make a left turn, which takes you through a restaurant food court that leads you to Garrison. It is almost like a treasure hunt. We ordered 7oz Texas Wagyu Petite Tender and Seremoni Black Cod*cod for dinner with the associated vegetables. While the food is very good, the portion size is small. So do not come ravenous or you will end up spending quite a lot of money. We also had a specialty desserts which components of pretzel, mouse and chocolate. Overall service was good.

A few extremely convincing photos of truffle tater tots. That alone was enough to lock us in for life. Over the years, we've celebrated milestones here and watched the restaurant evolve. Chef Jakub took a short sabbatical at one point, and while the food was still good, it just wasn't Garrison. Now that he's back, it honestly feels like he returned with even more passion than before. The kitchen is firing on all cylinders again. We recently came in for the Valentine's Day prix fixe, kids in tow, and somehow it worked beautifully. The kids loved every moment, and so did we. Favorites this time around were split between the truffle pasta (dangerously good) and the perfectly cooked rib eye, which was executed flawlessly. And then there's David, somehow always our server, and somehow always amazing. He has an incredible instinct for recommending the perfect balance of drinks, reads the table effortlessly, and isn't shy about making things right if something feels even slightly off. That kind of service is rare and makes the entire experience feel relaxed and confident. Side note: whoever the pastry chef is... you are an absolute menace (said with love). The chocolate cake, paired with ice cream and just the right crunch, has been living rent-free in my head ever since. I'm still thinking about it. Possibly dreaming about it.

We had a reservation and the host sat us down immediately and was so friendly. Our server was there right away. Her service was just perfect ... friendly and not over the top. She was knowledgeable about the dishes and gave us suggestions. We had a mockingbird mocktail and my son a soda. The drink was perfect. We ordered the whipped feta, falafel and beef Lamb kefta.

I ordered the pannacotta my son the chocolate chocolate cake. I absolutely loved mine with the sorbet on top. My son loved his cake.

I am not entirely sure what happened to the server, maybe they got distracted or got busy. But Aba is an expensive meal, and I expect more from this kind of establishment.
