    Traditional Spicy Traditional Spicy Tuna Poke plus avocado and mango

    Super fresh and delicious. Great location, in the same place as Juiceland and Gati (ice cream). Got the Traditional Spicy Poke with Ahi tuna, added avocado and mango. Very refreshing, perfect summer lunch.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Joshua was one of the best servers I've ever had! He made the whole dinner so fun and enjoyable…read more Came for happy hour but ordered some main menu items too. Really enjoyed the Pom mule drink on happy hour. The cucumber refresher was a little too sweet for me. The spinach dumplings and barbacoa dumplings were both great! Loved the sauces that came with both. Chicken karaage was what you'd expect, would probably try something else next time just to try something new. The hira hira roll was really good! The way they presented the sauces made it slightly hard to dip your roll in it, but would still order again. My friends loved the transformer roll. Yuka-tekkan was a let down for me, just not very flavorful. Overall, would definitely come back for some rolls and the happy hour! There is better sushi on s congress but I still think this is a solid choice. Inside has really cool decor and would be a good place to bring someone to impress a date.

    Love the Classic ATX cheese burgers! I'd leave the jalapeños in there for some spicy hints but…read moreremove them when it's time to consume. 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. It's a husband and wife team, and they are the sweetest and friendliest people that you can be fast friends with. Ambulance: casual. It's a food trailer

    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.

    I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. 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.
