Had this 2 weeks ago but seeing now that they are closed?? Went for lunch & this place is super authentic - it's just the fish, sauce, onions and rice. Nothing to mix in like some other bowl places. Fish was very fresh (I got the tuna) and rice was perfectly cooked. Portions look small but are enough for a meal - just a different kind of meal that doesn't leave you way too full. Restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly when I was there. read more

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. read more

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!

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) read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is by far the best poke I have ever had. Tried out the spicy option JT's and it was amazing. The service is was quick and the person taking the order was pleasant and helped me decide on what to get. Located on South Congress, this is cute lil place opposite St. Edwards University. It offers plenty of parking spots. The only reason for 4 stars is its quite on the expensive side. The food is without a doubt of good quality but 22$ for a poke bowl with rice seemed very steep. read more

This is my go-to spot for poke in Austin. It's the closest you'll get to the authentic way of ordering like you would in Hawaii. My favorite is the Big Jim, which I always get by the pound along with a side of rice--that's the way to do it! None of the "poke bowl" extras like corn, mango, or whatever else mainland poke has turned into. The prices are fair, and while it's more of a takeout or quick lunch kind of spot, it's perfect for those who want quality, authentic poke without the fluff. The staff is always friendly and greats you with a smile. read more

They were accommodating of my gluten allergy, and still had a lot of options available to make sure my custom poke bowl was packed with different elements and flavor. Even my friend who isn't big on seafood enjoyed his order with no hesitations. It all felt very fresh, with even the wasabi giving me a nice rush.

Great taste - just be prepared to be hungry when you leave with a much lighter wallet. 4 stars for food, 2 stars for quantity, 1 star for cost. The freshness of my ahi and salmon with the spicy "JJ" sauce was very good. My wife ordered a 2-scoops salmon bowl and the preparer was flexible in making it gluten free. The menu made it hard to supplement the dish as nearly every add-on was $0.50 to $2 extra. I added nothing and my wife selected avocado ($2$ and mango (0.50). When we paid nearly $50 for these two orders (about $15 more than other places), I was surprised. When we got the order, I was stunned. It was served in a small cardboard tray about the size of a French dryer at In-n-Out...the volume was extremely disappointing. The ambiance was marginal. It's a small place with a counter and a few tables;, at 8P the 2 staff members were playing some kind of grinding metal/thrasher music and had anime on the TV. Go to Pokeworks instead. read more

Authentic poke! I was in Hawai'i a couple months ago and ate a ridiculous amount of poke. Being so far away from the coast, I was not expecting much but was so surprised how it tasted just like the poke from Hawai'i! I ordered double ahi with JT's poke. The portion was smaller than what I was used to, especially considering the higher price point. It surprisingly filled me up and had a good portion of fish that I ended up running out of the base. Water cups are available to you inside as well. The parking lot was a little small but spots were available on a Wednesday evening. Overall, this might not be my regular poke price due to the price but it will definitely be my special occasion poke place. read more

I love poke places that serve up the poke the original way, with just fish and rice. No need for the filler vegetables that take up more space than seafood in my opinion haha. At Poke-Poke they give you really good portions of seafood and rice. The employees were really helpful in helping us decide what to order. I will say the one downside is that while we dined in I noticed a restroom stench that was pretty heavy at the tables near said restroom. I tried fighting through it but it was just really off-putting for my meal lol. I ended up packing my order up and finishing in the car.

So I've usually only had poke in CA so this was my first time having it in Austin and at Poke Poke. Ordered online and went to go pick it up - this place can be easy to miss. There's a tiny lane that goes through this strip mall area which is where you can park but it's super tight. Poke Poke has a window around the front that you can now order from / pick up from. I got the traditional spicy poke bowl with ahi tuna and didn't want to change much since I was trying this place for the first time. Although the portion (small) looks tiny, it's rather filling! The Poke itself was tasty. I'll probably try another next time. The spam musubi isn't on their menu but they had a sign when I got there so I wanted to try it but unfortunately I really didn't care for it. Either way, I'll def be back for more poke! read more

From the original Sushirrito in San Francisco, to Foodland's poke fare in the islands of Hawaii - I've been there and done all the things. So I'd like to think I know what good poke tastes like: fish tasty enough to eat on its own, sauce that complements rather than overpowers, and just the right amount and flavor of toppings to bring a unique twist to each bowl. One can get a little nerdy about raw fish and I hope to submit my master's thesis one day. Customization is an integral part of the poke experience, and who am I to tell you what to order. Some people don't even put any sauce on their raw fish - and like pope Francis said "who am I to judge that person?"

What I didn't love: Ahi tuna wasn't as fresh - It started off tasting fine, but as I kept eating, I noticed a slight fishy taste, especially in the middle portion. Not terrible, but not the best either. Next time, I'd skip the tuna and just get salmon if that cannot be improved. Seasoning is strong and a bit oily for me. The marinade is on the heavier side, with a lot of soy sauce and sesame oil. It's flavorful, but personally, I prefer a lighter touch so the fish itself can stand out more. If you're used to milder poke, this might be a bit much. I was just looking for a simple, no-frills poke spot, and this is a solid choice. The salmon was great, the value was good, and the flavors were bold. Not sure about service since I chose delivery.

I appreciated that they gave me furikake on the side upon request, small touch, but it made a difference! Indoor seating is limited (about four tables), but they do have outdoor seating as well. Overall, a great find and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

The bowl was a generous size, but the portion of fish was noticeably small. For the base, we chose sweet potato noodles and mixed greens--the noodles were well-seasoned and had a great texture. For protein, we picked ahi tuna and salmon, both of which were fresh and tasty. However, the fish-to-toppings ratio felt off, with much more filler than fish. We added all the mix-ins and paid an extra $2.95 for avocado, which was fresh, ripe, and delicious. We also selected all the toppings. For dressing, we went with mango aloha and wasabi mayo--surprisingly, they paired well together. We also paid $2.75 for an extra side of spicy teriyaki dressing, which came in a large container and had a solid kick. Overall, the poke bowl was delicious, but the light hand on the fish made it feel a bit overpriced.

They were about to close, so I didn't get to get anything to eat BUT I can't wait to go back and eat there. ALL my friends love it and eat there A LOT. Oh, and the claw machines? With licensed characters, like Pokémon and Bluey, hello kitty... nice stuffed animals. So you think it would be impossible to win... YALL. I. WON. 5. TIMES! My day was not the best before I stumbled into this place, lookin for a win. And win I did! While I was playing, I introduced myself to the person working inside, Gia, who was so so incredibly welcoming and just seems like a genuinely kind and caring person -- she was so happy for me that I won so many! Hot tip: you can use your credit card at the machine so you don't even have to have a spare change. And If you're even remotely good at claw machine/crane prize games you are a high likelihood of winning something here. They're not all stuck down there or rigged at all. And that's the way it SHOULD be! Highly recommend! Go to try it out!

The tuna was really tough and I ended up throwing most of it away because of the texture. (It took me several minutes of aggressive chewing to get through each bite). The shrimp was ok. I ordered it spicy and it was a little too spicy for my liking (and I love spice). When I am panting like a dog, it's a problem lol. I wish more sauce was added as well (at least include a soy sauce). I didn't receive any silverware with my meal as well. Thankfully I had a spare set of utensils in office.

Bonus points for being gluten-free friendly, just give them a heads-up before ordering. We ordered from the signature bowls menu. I got the Pololi, and my husband had the Volcano Bowl. They were both packed with fresh protein and tons of flavor. Portions were generous too! Great experience overall and I'm looking forward to our next visit!

I visited on a whim but was so impressed by the fresh ingredient choices, customer service, and customizable bowl pricing. FAST FACTS: * Parking - located in a shopping center with a large parking lot * Online ordering - available for pickup on their website * Nutrition information - available on their website * Weekly specials - check their website or social media for updates * Rewards program - join for free and earn points to redeem for free bowls PRICING - The total was $32.45 after tax ($2.47) but before tip for 2 regular poke bowls (2 scoops of protein each). I think the pricing is reasonable for the quality of ingredients and portion size. Veggie bowl: $9.99 Small (1 scoop of protein): $12.49 Regular (2 scoops of protein): $14.99 Large (3 scoops of protein): $17.49 ORDERING - Place an order online for pick up or walk up to the counter to build your own bowl. You choose a base (white rice, brown rice, salad, half and half, seaweed wrap, or hot Cheetos wrap), pick a protein (number of scoops determines the size), choose a sauce, add as many mix-ins as you want, and then add toppings. PROTEINS - Choices include classic ahi tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, shrimp, tofu, and the weekly special. All of the proteins we tried were fresh and the scoops are about 2 ounces each. SAUCES - Choices include house, spicy house, Korean chili, soy ponzu, garlic miso, sweet ginger, sesame shoyu, and citrus. Descriptions and nutrition information for each can be found on their website. MIX-INS - Choices include corn, cilantro, crab, cucumber, edamame, jalapeños, onion, pineapple, red cabbage, scallions, and seaweed salad. Avocado is an extra $1.50 but you can choose any or all of the others listed included with the price of your bowl. TOPPINGS - Choices include chili flakes, furikake, garlic crisps, ginger, onion flakes, sesame seeds, shredded nori, tempura crisps, spicy mayo, wasabi aioli, and wasabi. You can choose any or all of the toppings included with the price of your bowl. I absolutely LOVE how customizable the bowls are! A lot of poke restaurants limit the number of toppings or charge extra for a majority of the items but this was pretty much all-inclusive. I was able to make my perfect bowl for one set price and left feeling full and satisfied! I randomly stopped here for dinner after searching on the map for a healthy and quick dinner option but it's now one of my favorite places! It can be hard to find nutrition information for a lot of restaurants so I absolutely love that they have it available online. If you love poke, it doesn't get much better than Poke House! Highly recommend!

I really like all the fun toppings, seasonings, and sauces that they have. There is no limit to the amount of normal toppings you can get. My friend tried the miso soup. It came out of a machine, almost like how fruit juice comes out of those machines at the hotel continental breakfast. The soup had no flavor and barely any tofu or green onion. We were tempted to add our own salt or soy sauce to make it palatable.I don't know how they make them, but it doesn't seem like they're using enough miso paste.
