Had a great Poké bowl today. The tuna and salmon were plentiful and fresh. Great lunch and I plan to return. Highly recommend. Great food, good quality, friendly service, overall a great experience! read more

As longtime Pokitrition fans, we were genuinely bummed when their Chandler location closed. We had been searching for a place that could fill that void, and we're happy to say that Poke Wave in Tempe has done exactly that. Everything was fresh--from the fish and toppings to the vegetables and sauces. The ingredients were high quality, the portions were generous, and every bite tasted like it had just been prepared. Living in Ahwatukee, we're always looking for restaurants that are worth the drive, and Poke Wave has become one of our regular stops. Friendly staff, a clean restaurant, and consistently great food keep us coming back. If you're looking for excellent poke in the East Valley, Poke Wave is an easy recommendation. read more

Had takeout from Poke Wave for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. It's a great fast-casual concept where you get a generous bowl for about $13 -- excellent value. We ordered the Aloha Premium Bowl with salmon and Hawaiian tuna plus assorted veggies, along with a build-your-own bowl. Everything tasted fresh, and the fish was solid -- about as good as you'll find in the Phoenix area for the price. Service was quick and easy, and we'd definitely go back. read more

Super friendly staff, great food, convenient location, and reasonable prices. Limited seating but clean and comfortable. What more can you ask for? Definitely worth a visit. read more

Quality of food and bowls was not bad. That is not my issue. Just curious if they use food handling gloves when gathering each item or if they use tongs or serving utensils. I purchased two large bowls through doordash today. Everything tasted well except for my son who has allergies to avocado, cucumber and mango had an allergy tack when consuming his bowl, the allergy attack was consistent with contamination to either avocado, cucumber, or mango. Neither one of our bowls contain these items concerned about food safety. read more

This place was really good! My husband brought me here after trying it himself first. There's so many options when it comes to the proteins and toppings. I do love too that they have many sauce choice but they also show popular combos on the order window and they will give you recommendations as well on what they like to mix and what works well with the proteins you chose. They do have some drinks called refreshers and it's sodas with some mix ins and I tried the lemon coke. It was really different and gave me a flashback of lemon Pepsi from years ago. We def will come back when we want that good fresh poke bowl! read more

Best poke I've ever had in arizona. Fairly priced with a good amount of topping options. Service was actually incredible. Its a little overwhelming to see everything for the first time but the guy assisting us was really patient and helped guide us through. I wasnt sure about the marinade for the salmon so he let me try it first and it did not disappoint. We also tried the spam musubi 10/10. I genuinely cant wait to go back. read more

OMG. This is my first time eating from this place, and I'm so glad I had it delivered. I devoured that poke bowl like a fat hungry baby!! It was that good. I will be ordering from here again. I have some level of self respect. read more

Was pretty disappointed here; ordered two bowls to go. Service was great and friendly, super easy to order online, my order was ready right on time. Fish and topping selection was decent and the portions were great. BUT the fish did not taste fresh. It wasn't bad, just not fresh, and did not meet my expectations based on the reviews and rating. read more

The workers were really sweet and welcomed us in! Great service, but the fish itself was just okay. For AZ, this is not as bad as other poke places but unfortunately the tuna I received was stringy and not fresh. Salmon was OK. All the toppings and and sauces were good though. Not sure I would return. read more

Portions were great, I got super full off of a BYO Bowl! I got through the line very quickly and staff were really friendly. Lots of seating inside and outside and I liked how they offered Hawaiian drinks! read more

I ordered a two protein bowl. I got salmon and Hawaii tuna on white rice. The fish was very fresh. Every bite was great. There was a good choice of mix ins. I didn't love the shoyu sauce I got. Just tasted like soy. I was really excited about the cucumber kimchi but was disappointed. The acid level was off and there was no other pickled cucumber option. I will absolutely go back because of the quality of the fish, but will try different sauces. read more

Been here twice now and I gota say this is some top tier Poke. They got really fresh/soft poke and the toppings and sauces just enhance the bowl. On top of that the service is super friendly and has a chill atmosphere. Best poke in the valley! Hands down. Highly recommend their Hawaiian style Ahi and the salmon. read more

I was so excited to see a Poke place. I haven't had Poke since before I left Cali. Everything was great except I think it's a bit pricey for a 2 protein bowl. The counter person was friendly and helpful. Fish was fresh and it was quote yummy! read more

Poke wave coming through! This is one of my favorite pokespots in the valley. I flip back between this spot and another that is close by depending on mood. Poke wave offers a large variety of options such as various style cooked protein or raw ingredient burritos, brown or white rice bowls, and even kale or spring mix salad. To further expand your customizations they have plenty of toppings/mix-ins/add-ins to choose from. After the gym I'll have no guilt ordering a kale salad, triple protein scoop, and kimchi cucumbers with many other toppings. As for burritos I really enjoyed the baked salmon with wasabi sauce, be sure to grab extra napkins. It can get messy. If you save room at the end you can get some Dole whip-a sweet and tart treat. My previous check-in, they offered a lime and pineapple swirl option. For drinks they offer Hawaiian sun products (p.o.g.!), Ramune, and various teas or just water. read more

This was my first experience with a poke place, even though I love sushi. I came here with a work group for a birthday lunch. I was a bit overwhelmed after walking in, looking at the very large menu on the wall behind the counter. It is set up like a Subway, with a long bar of ingredients behind a little window. The menu is a bit confusing the way it is organized, and there are no descriptions for the ingredients, some of which are uncommon (at least I've never heard of some and I'm a regular sushi eater). The employees were all very nice. The dining area is small, with no tables larger than 4 seats. So our group of 7 did not get to sit together. It ultimately comes down to two main options, a poke bowl or a burrito. There are pre-designed options or build your own. The burrito is basically a sushi role with the rice on the inside of the seaweed wrap, and fillings in the middle. I chose a burrito because I was so unsure about what to get and I love burritos. I tried the kukui, which consisted of salmon baked in garlic butter with various fillings such as a crab salad, lettuce, rice, peppers, slaw, and pickled onions. I opted to add some raw Hawaiian tuna. The burrito was wrapped in paper and cut in half and then placed in a cool cylinder type of box that you tear open in the middle. It would work great for eating it on the go, but the box was unnecessary for eating in the restaurant. The burrito was decent, but not impressive tasting. It was a good size, but lacked much flavor or spice. I had to add sriracha. It was also a bit greasy on the outside of the wrap. Half of our group ordered burritos and half opted for a bowl. The bowls looked much more appealing. I tried the pineapple Dole whip soft serve after my burrito. It was good but very sweet, almost with an artificial sweetener flavor. It was also deceptive how they serve it, as they line the inner wall of the cup and then mound it on top. So it looks like you're getting more than you are (see picture). I didn't feel like the soft serve was a good value at $4, but the burrito was an average value at $13. Overall not a stellar first experience here, but I would come back to try a bowl. read more

This humble place is awesome. I am from Hawaii and you don't find Hawaiian ahi that tastes this authentic on the mainland often. They have a great selection of hard to find Hawaiian juices, nice fresh poke toppings and generous portions for the price. I recently moved back to the neighborhood it's in and was delighted to find they are still here and serving up great poke bowls. The man who helped us was very friendly and the service was great. read more

I rode the wave in after hearing that Poké Wave is one of Yelp's Best 50 places to eat in 2018. I was in a desperate search to find some Aloha spirit in AZ after my first visit to Oahu, and I finally found it here! During my first few visits I brought a couple of coworkers with me to try it out. We actually drove from Phoenix to Chandler on our lunch break just because of the great reviews on Yelp, and I am so glad we made the trip! The peeps at Poké Wave were super friendly and showed us how to order our meals during our first visit. They hooked me up with a handy dandy punch card and I have been eagerly working my way towards my first freebie with it ever since. The Oahu Classic is my go to Waveritto. It's everything. I really love it with tuna but it can also be made with salmon as well. Recently they had an amazing addition to my favorite Poké spot - the Dole Whip machine! I haven't been able to really dive in to a full serving of it yet but I promised myself I will save that for a special day. Dole Whip doesn't travel too well in the Arizona desert either so I'll have to stay put and enjoy it inside the restaurant instead. Looking forward to turning the clocks back to Hawaii time and enjoying a bit of sweet pineapple goodness in the very near future! I seriously love this place. When are we going again??? read more
