    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.

    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)

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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

Did not disappoint. Me and my work compadre showed up and they handed him a sign that said last person standing, that means no more brisket after us and to let others that follow us know. Kind of sad to be the ones to let the others know. But man we lucked out! They run out every afternoon. They still had most of the other meats but we were there mainly for the brisket. We split 1 lb of brisket and 1 lb of pork ribs. Potato salad, coleslaw along with the complimentary pickles shed onions you serve yourself. Absolutely delicious. Best brisket and ribs I've ever had and I smoke a lot of meat myself including brisket. Mines good but not this good. Last time I was here an elderly gentleman leaned over and said the slices of bread you don't eat are great to use as napkins. He was right! Unconventional but it works better than paper napkins. Service is fantastic and everyone seems to love working there. They have a lot of swag too. I bought a t shirt. Place is super busy and a lot of non stop activity. The decor is cool too. Each time I wondered if a table would be available when we needed one and both times there were. We sat at a table with others that had room and they invited us to sit down before we asked. Texas hospitality! There are a few outdoor tables too. Hopefully I'll be back next year.

The pro being the line was super short and the con being brisket was the only meat option available. We were blown away with how perfectly tender the brisket was. We could have used a plastic fork to cut it because it just melted in your mouth. We also got each of their sides and all were perfect! Franklin Barbecue is a must visit while in Austin. I'll be thinking about this place for a while, it was that good.

They have…read morea few seats that are swing benches and if I had a plus one would have totally snagged one. Sat at the sushi bar and for a Thursday night was pretty quiet. There were four chefs and sitting at the sushi bar you got to see the goodies as they were made. Austyn was the person who took care of me and they were wonderful. Very polite and provided great recommendations for the night. Got the sake flight and all three I'd get again. Started with the Barbacoa dumplings....ummmm amazing, soooo flavorful. Next up was the Brussels sprouts and y'all those left with the bowl empty. The only rec I gave Austyn was to tell peeps to stir them to get all the sauce goodness mixed in. Didn't realize there was a sauce until the end soooo that would have probably made me lick the bowl! Also got the Toro fig and I'm not gonna lie I was shocked. Never thought pairing fig with tuna would be good, again rec I gave was to give a spoon so you could sip all that sauce goodness!!! Last on my dining journey was the Prime Market Nigiri Moriawase. This was the chefs choice of five nigiri pieces and they again were delicious. The downside was the omakase was for 2 people, portion size sooo I need to find a plus one, any takers?! I'd go back to try other items and get a few of the same.

    Food: My partner and I shared some Brussels Sprouts, a Robot Ramen, and a Pork Chashu Fried Rice…read more The Brussels Sprouts were fine--the marinade was nice, but would have preferred the sprouts to be a bit crispier. The Robot Ramen was light, yet rich, the meat was succulent (and not too thin, at the risk of being dry) and the noodles were al dente--both were cooked nicely. Lastly, the Pork Chashu Fried Rice was a burst of umami flavor, from the shoyu glazed pork rib to the shiitake mushroom lying underneath. Solid dish--no notes! Service: No complaints! We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon walking in. Our waiter was attentive. Ambiance: Casual, modern. A vibrant experience, to say the least, from the flora draping from the ceiling, to the warm colors permeating throughout. Parking: Street parking available. Pay note of parking signs!

Otherwise, it's too spicy unless you are a jalapeño with seeds lover. I also tried the Mañanera, which my partner praised. It's got an egg and bacon in it. A bit too much for me. The Mexicana with jack cheese and guacamole is not bad. You've got to try the fried cheese curds if you feel like splurging on your diet more! The service is excellent.

    4.5 Downtown Burger Food Truck came to our neighborhood. My husband got a notification through…read moreFacebook from our neighborhood group. He was given a link where he could place an order. We filled it out and chose our pickup time. We saw the truck in a parking lot, we parked and walked up to the ordering/pickup window. We told the person at the window that we placed an order online and she let us know that it wasn't working. So she asked if she could take our order. We agreed, placed our order, and paid. She let us know that it would take about 10-15 minutes as there were orders in front of ours. It wasn't a problem. We just walked around a little bit and before we knew it our food was ready so we took our bag of food and went home to eat. Initially I intended to order the Mañanera Burger but it was not available. So I decided to order the Hawaiian Burger which comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, jack cheese, pineapple, ham, jalapenos, mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup. I ordered my burger without jalapenos and without mayonnaise. I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was delicious. You could taste the char from the grill and it was cooked perfectly. Most of the other ingredients were fresh. The pineapple added a sweet flavor while the ham gave it a slight saltines. The cheese was melted to the burger. My burger could have used a few more small onions and some crisper pickles. The onion rings were really good. They were super crispy on the outside with a good sized onion inside. I usually eat my onion rings with ketchup but I didn't need any. The onion rings were tasty on their own. Overall this food truck had delicious burgers and onion rings. The service was good despite the online ordering system not working. It was a very filling and tasty dinner.

Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
