You can order by the half-pound or full pound instead of a small, rice-heavy bowl! I got 1 lb of ahi tuna for $19 and 1 lb of salmon for $23, which felt like a much better deal than most poke spots charging $15+ for a bowl with just a few bites of fish. If you actually want a solid portion of poke, this is a great option. What I liked: The salmon was very fresh - I ordered The OG salmon poke, and it was flavorful and well-marinated. The fish had a nice, smooth texture and absorbed the soy sauce and sesame oil well. No weird aftertaste or fishiness--just fresh, clean flavors. Portions are generous - A full pound of fish made for a very satisfying meal, which isn't always the case with poke. If you don't want rice or fillers, ordering by weight is the way to go. 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. read more

I lived in Hawaii for 4 years, and this is by far one of my favorite spots for poke. Fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying! Service was quick and informative. 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! read more

Poke-Poke - Traditional Spicy Tuna Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love Poke Poke! Always fresh, fast, and delicious. The Big Jim is my favorite! so good every time. Highly recommend!

Was craving a poke bowl and this place was nearby. They have more Hawaiian style poke than others which was great! I got a big bowl with rice and toppings and it was very reasonably priced and more filling than I had imagined as the container looked smaller than I thought it would be. Service was great as they showed me their options for premade bowls and different sizes. The place is small and cozy and a little hard to find at first located on a corner behind a gas station. read more

The poke was okay but for close to $20 for one person was expecting a lot more overall. I did the half tuna half salmon which was okay but I've had better locally at a similar price point. The rice might just be a different style but it was a little too soft and almost mushy for my liking. It also took nearly ten minutes to come out which seemed a bit long when they didn't seem super busy and I would think everything is premade. It might just not be my style, but definitely not a spot I would look to come back to. read more

Tasty, fresh, and fast. Much more healthful than most other lunch options. I haven't found another Poke place in Austin that compares.

Great poke and great service, affordable sushi with good sized portions and very convenient location too.

This is a chain restaurant. Each of the Poke Poke I've been to have the same menu, great service and fresh food. There is plenty of seating inside and out! read more

My wife and I had gone to Hawaii in March of this year and had some amazing poke. We were inspired to find some good poke here in Austin. Poke-Poke was VERY satisfying. I had never heard of it or even driven in this area before. Definitely a gem in this neighborhood. The ambience gave us a "vintage" feel--like it deserves to be functioning somewhere near a beach. There's not a lot of seating inside, but they do have tables outside as well. We were lucky enough not to come during a lunch rush. The woman who took our order was very kind and professional. My wife had the "Lil Poke with a brown rice base and the Aloha Poke recipe." I had the "50/50 Poke with a white rice base and the OG Recipe." Both were delicious!!! The fish was fresh, the rice was soft, and it was all super flavorful!!! We were very impressed. Portioning was also just right--I didn't leave feeling super full, or still hungry. We'll definitely be back when we want our poke fix!! read more

Love coming to this spot when I'm in the area. The poke is by far the best in austin. The store is a little small but there's seating both inside and out and makes for a great lunch spot. The staff is always super friendly and have good recommendations. The price is about what you would pay at any other poke place but I find that most places will add more sides and rice than fish. Here the protein is what stands out! I recommend anyone in Austin come check this place out if you want true poke. read more

Do NOT order from here. I don't really write reviews, and certainly don't like to say anything negative.. but in this case, I have to share my experience. I'm floored by what I received. Ordered the Yuzu Tuna poke and a Salmon Poke bowl. Tuna was rotten and had white mucus on it and then some of the pieces were crusty and a dark brown. Added seaweed salad which was also rotten and literally a yellow-y brownish color. Salmon was horrific. I can't believe they would serve food that is clearly rotten and of this poor quality to the public. read more

This is probably going to be as close to authentic Hawaiian poke as you'll find here in Austin. I will say that I'm not a huge fan of authentic poke--I find that it to be too salty, and I usually only like the creamier poke options. I got the cucumber/avocado salad, shoyu poke, and the creamy poke. Everything was really fresh and well seasoned with lots of onions and sauce. I think it's just a bit too salty for me, but I can still tell that it's a good option for you if you're a huge fan of traditional Hawaiian poke. read more

This is an extremely handy, utterly unpretentious little place with consistently fresh tuna and salmon and a ton of add-ons; nice workers, very fast service. The one thing I wish is that they would get curtains to keep the afternoon sun out -- and get a new air conditioner. I would stay to eat there in the summer, but it's too hot. I just do take-out until the weather cools down. read more

I stumbled upon this hole in the wall eatery yesterday and I'm glad I did. As a native Texan who lived in LA for two years, I became very fond of all the yummy poke on the West Coast. Poke-Poke satisfied my craving for authentic and delicious poke. Their menu is a bit confusing but the staff will gladly help you out. The dining room is not open right now but there are a couple of outdoor seating options to enjoy your poke in the sunshine. I am excited to return back to this establishment and try more of their delicious poke. Maybe next time I'll try their fish on weekly special. read more

I was craving traditional poke - not the kind with all the toppings and barely any fish. This hits the spot if you're looking for quality Hawaiian-style poke. The restaurant itself is very casual and you can definitely tell most of its business is to-go orders. We ordered JT's poke and the Yowza Yuzu. Both amazing. The sauces add flavor without completely overpowering the fish. We will for sure be back. read more

Love this place only draw back is sometimes the rice isn't made right. Today is one of those days. The rice is a little under cooked so has a tough crunch to it. With that being said the flavors are always amazing and the service is super welcoming. I love this place being so close for my lunch breaks. read more

I've been here a few times. It is a traditional poke spot. I love both types of formats here though. You get a great amount of food and it's fresh and melt in your mouth. Not too many menu choices so it's not overwhelming. Very friendly people working there to help you navigate the menu also. Not super cheap, but honestly why would you want that with marinated fish! read more

This is a cute local poke place that really gives off authentic Hawaiian poke vibes. You can tell that it's different from other chains partly because of its simplicity. The owner was super friendly and was very happy to answer any questions we had! There are 2 portion sizes, but honestly they don't seem like too big of a difference? But I could be wrong. The small portion size fed me and kept me somewhat satisfied. I heard the tuna was excellent, but the salmon for me was okay; it wasn't the freshest type of salmon that melts in your mouth. Considering we're in Austin, which is land locked, I think it was pretty good! I would like to try the tuna the next time I come here. read more

Never in my life have I been so happy to have forgotten to make my lunch and need to grab something to eat. Since starting my new job, I have been bringing my lunch, however I have been very curious about this poke place I see everyday l. I forgot lunch today and decided to try it. Ordered online. Super easy to do. Got the cucumber tomato avocado salad and the spicy tuna poke with carrots, cucumber and ginger. Added one scoop of ahi tuna. Pick up was very easy. They had it ready and in the cooler in a bag. Since it was first time trying it, I didn't realize this protocol however staff was super sweet and kindly guided this newbie. So sweet and very friendly. And now to the best part... the food. Blown away. I started with the salad. The flavor is unique. Its crunchy but tender. And during such a crazy heat wave- this salad is refreshing and satisfying. On to the poke. Wow my mind is blown. Flavor is out of this world good. Ingredients fresh, juicy, tender. I was never expecting to get such fresh, soft ahi in a million year being land locked. This ahi made me feel like I was on the coast again. The extra scoop of ahi means an EXTRA ton of ahi tuna. Sooo much. I literally can't believe how incredible this poke is. Slightly spicy, tender, fresh. I just kept stuffing my face. Even with all that, I have leftovers for tomorrow! I WILL be back. Between small location, local vibe. The incredible food and killer staff- found a new favorite!!! Thankfully I am in walking distance so I dont get toooo fat with this yummy food. read more

LOVE THIS SPOT. Best poke in Austin. My go-to's are the Big Jim and Aloha bowls.

They have a promo code in their website (EATWELL but may change) so be sure to add that plus a little more towards their tips bc they are working hard!! read more

Came here on a Sunday night an hour before they closed. Keep in mind they get a little low on fish later in the day and will not sell full pounds of poke. The restaurant was a cute little place with a to-go window to order from (lobby was closed). I got a half pound of the spicy tuna poke with tobiko, jalapeño, cucumber, and carrots. My boyfriend got a half pound of the aloha tuna poke with pineapple, edamame, and carrots. We took it home and ate it with our own rice and their to-go packets of soy sauce. Both dishes were fresh and delicious! A great price for a solid amount of tuna. I enjoy a good poke bowl but sometimes I just want some more poke and this was a great option. Would come again to try other flavors and the salmon! read more

I walked over to Poke-Poke for lunch last week with a friend that lives in the area. We ordered ahead on Toast (easy), and it was ready on time when we arrived. The menu is simple, which I appreciated since a lot of poke menus have about 100 options and are more filler than fish! Poke-Poke is all about the fish! I tried the OG (Ahi tuna, shoyu, sesame oil, white and green onion, and sesame seeds), which was really simple and delicious. They have several base options, and I chose to do half white rice and half edamame. I loved the option, because it was extra protein and veggies! My only complaint is the rice was a little dried out, kind of stuck in a clump that I had to break apart with chopsticks. It was a good, simple, delicious, and pretty healthy meal. I'm jealous of my friend who lives right by it! read more

I've been coming to Poke-Poke on and off since before the pandemic. But lately, I've become addicted to their O.G. salmon poke and Hawaiian Sun drinks. I swallowed a piece of scale on Tuesday, but they comped my drink when I told them two days later. They said to call them immediately the next time it happens. Their poke is reminiscent of the poke I've had in Hawaii. Delicious and addictive! read more

My husband and my usual go-to poke place has been undergoing construction for months, so we finally decided that it's time to venture out and explore a new option. While scrolling through the Yelp page, we came across this establishment and decided to give it a try since it was close enough to where we were and had amazing ratings! We ordered the JT's Poke and a small salmon poke with sriracha aioli and edamame. We were first struck by how "lil" it was, but I think the small size was pretty filling enough for a light lunch. But what we were more surprised by, was how flavorful the poke was! It's definitely a traditional, Hawaiian poke, and I highly recommend you to order from the preset menu because their combination of condiments to fish to veggies is spot on. Even though we are more used to the "Chipotle-style", salad-like pokes, we definitely enjoyed our authentic pokes and look forward to visiting again. read more

Hands down the best poke place ever! The fish was fresh and their flavor combinations are delicious. It's a small cozy shop, you can eat indoors or outside. The service was great and I received my food pretty quick. I highly recommend this place for a delicious lunch! read more

If your looking for a more authentic poke experience with big chunks of tuna this is your go to. The other spots in town are following more of chipotle or subway model and here you just have your classic poke and few other ones but basically it's shoyu, onions, green onion, sesame seeds, and chilis of varying amounts. They have varying sizes too and you can opt with or without rice. They are fairly quick and attentive and you won't be waiting too long to try this poke. It's located in a small retail area right next to a gas station and there are a few parking spots out front. read more

First time here today and it was pretty perfect. The customer service was good too. Will be back again. This place is super cute in the rosedale neighborhood. read more

Delicious and fresh. I definitely stop here when ever I am in the area. The season ahi are always a hit. Sauce variations are great too.

I don't like being wrong, but in this case, I'm so glad I was. I usually make my own poké bowl, but for some reason, I was drawn to trying a signature bowl. I didn't think a signature bowl was going to be as satisfying as making my own, but like I said before, I'm glad I was proven wrong! I tried the Shiso Salmon Poke, which perfectly brought the whole bowl together. I LOVE the marination of this poke, which includes sesame oil, shoyu, rice wine vinegar, and sambal. read more

Driven by this place never knowing it was there. Not anymore. Wanted poke. Like, 10 minutes ago. So I find Poke Poke on the map and think how did I miss this place all these years.

Amazing and super fresh fish. Having celiac disease, I often worry about cross contamination but they do so well here. When you mention you need gluten free, they take it seriously and offer either coco aminos or tamari & use a clean bowl. read more

It is hard to find a good place in Austin that is authentic. This is a great place if you are really looking for a fresh poke, I had the ahi with the OG sauce with a base of white rice and seaweed salad, it was absolutely delicious. The reason why I took a star off is because the employee that was helping me was not very friendly, and almost all of the toppings are available at an extra charge. Overall, good poke, a bit pricey but good quality. read more

This is the best poke Ive bad outside Hawaii. The fact you can buy it by the half pound or the full pound makes it even better. Take it home and munch on the poke by itself, in your own salad, or make poke nachos! Price is very reasonable as well, under 20 dollars for a pound of fish. The best poke in Austin. Currently its takeout only (better for me since I can make my own poke nachos with HEB tortilla chips). read more

I'm so glad this place is in my neighborhood. The poke is so good I won't even deduct a star for not having the açai bowls any longer. Seaweed salad, it's great. This place fits the bill for something special or just a regular good meal. Currently there's no eating inside and it's extremely pandemic safe. So far it's a success with every friend we shared it with. And yes, I'm headed over there in a few minutes to pick some up! read more

If you are looking for Hawaiian style poke, this is it! The fish was tasted fresh and was perfectly seasoned. My favorite was the traditional spicy ahi.

Finally made it to the second location of Poke Poke. It's very unassuming but don't worry, the Poke is out of this world! I like that the menu is pretty self explanatory and not overwhelming. Choose your size, then your rice, then which bowl you want and if you want any add-ons. And then enjoy! I wasn't quite sure if I should have ordered the little or big, so I asked the staff. He said he typically gets the little unless he's skipped breakfast. He's also 6'3" and if he advised me to go with the litttle, I'll listen :) I got the spicy bowl with brown rice and added seaweed salad. Mmmmmmmm, it was a true delight. Sat outside and enjoyed it with a friend who got the Aloha bowl with salmon. Both of us were satisfied and I can't wait to go back! They're doing it right here. From the staff, to the high quality fish, and a great place to get your fix of Poke, you can't go wrong! read more

"It's Poke. It's Great. Just Go" ^^^^ That really pretty much sez. it all. If you need more, well, the owner is friendly, as is the staff, the poke is stellar (don't get the brown rice tho'. seriously. why would you inflict that on yourself?), and there are various canned/bottled things to drink. It's a brilliant place for lunch - the service is fast, and the food excellent. Couple of tips though 1. As with most things poke, the simpler the better 2. Don't get the brown rice 3. The wasabi-poke now has a lot less wasabi in it - if you want it the old way, ask for it (or for a side of wasabi!) read more
