Poke Wave is the best poke in Arizona. You can't beat the price and quality here. The staff are friendly and give generous portions. I usually opt for 3 scoops (salmon and Hawaiian tuna are my favorites). The topping selections are excellent. I usually ask for everything from mango to pickled onion to seaweed salad to kimchi cucumber to crispy garlic and furikake. I would eat here everyday if I could. Don't forget to try their dole whip for dessert. The space is clean and handicap accessible. There's a reason they're one of the top 50 places to eat in Arizona according to Yelp in 2019. read more

Poke Wave - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Recently moved to the area from California and looking for a poké place. This is the second place I've tried in the area. After reading the reviews I had high expectations and I was quiet disappointed. It wasn't the freshest and customer service was eh. My bowl had 3 scoops of Hawaiian Tuna & 1 Ahi Tuna, the Hawaiian tuna didn't taste any different than the ahi tuna. I did like the sriracha aioli, had plenty of spice (which a lot of other places lack in their "spicy mayo"). I also had brown rice that was ok. They also charge extra for their imitation crab.... that's a first. read more

Very friendly staff! Excellent food and they are not stingy with the toppings like many similar-concept restaurants in the area. Their specialty tuna is delish! I'll be a regular here for sure. read more

So far, I've been here once. The poke was solid. I selected a pre designed bowl and it was fresh, filling, flavorful and had the perfect amount of varying textures that I hope for in my poke. The place was super clean, well decorated and the staff was pleasant. You could tell there's a passion behind their work here and that's why I recommend this place. I was disappointed that my girl and I were the only two customers there during prime dinner hours. Support this place. I think it's a great business. 4/5 because it's poke. And it was good poke, but these poke places all kind of do the same thing. Not sure I've ever been to a poke place I'd consider 5 stars. Poke Wave was one of the best I've had. read more

Poke is one of my favorite things to get when I'm not trying to cheat my diet. I am on a low carb diet and I got a salad with salmon and shrimp with spicy creamy and it was really good. read more

Quick, reasonable, fresh and a great selection of items - all the qualities I want for a poke bowl. Staff is friendly and the place is super clean to boot. read more

I've been here twice so far and tried some of their wave bowls. They're delicious, well portioned, and they satisfy my cravings for sushi in a way that is otherwise impractical on a short lunch break. It's sort of like getting a sushi bowl instead of a sushi roll, except you get to add and mix in extra toppings. I recommend getting the pickled red onion and crispy garlic on everything. I hope this place sticks around. They're fast, the staff is friendly, and the cost is reasonable. read more

Poke Wave - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sweet baby! Believe the hype. I've been looking for a poke spot because I feel like everyone has their go-to spot, I think Poke Wave will become that spot for me. You could say I'm riding the wave. They won't need to poke me to ensure I return, okay no more awful puns. I found this place on Yelp after wanting to try something different in my area (I live a mile away). After looking at the Waveritto's I knew I had to try the Honua. My lord what an explosion of flavor, this thing is perfect - I wouldn't add anything to it or take anything away from it. This gives me hope to dive in and try their actual poke, which I plan to do during my next visit. read more

I called 15 minutes closing one night and they were super nice and kept the store open until I got there. Everything was still fresh and the counters were spotless. They have a wide selection of proteins, including tako (octopus), scallop, seared albacore, and tofu. I got the salad base and chose the citrus kale salad. Loved it! The kale was crunchy and it was tart and tangy with the right amount of dressing. The owners are Korean and offer a cucumber kimchi as a topping. I loved it as well! For those wondering, kimchi is pickled vegetables. This preparation was the right amount garlicky, salty, spicy with a hint of sweet. If you like pickled veggies, put this in your bowl. Friendly customer service and good food, definitely worth trying. read more

Poke Wave - Kale citrus salad base with kimchi cucumber - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This is my favorite poke place in the East Valley. The food is fresh with a ton of options, and the owner is always there and is very nice to everyone. The restaurant is extremely bright and clean and has a calm vibe. I have also ordered from here via Grubhub, and my food is always at my house before the allotted time. This is my go-to place for poke. read more

Poke Wave hits the perfect balance between healthy while also satisfying my cravings. I love getting the half&half - a mix of sweet, sweet carbs and healthy veggies. I get the brown rice with the citrus kale salad - and let's be real - why would anyone voluntarily order kale?? But trust me on this, their citrus kale salad is sweet and mixes well with their marinades and protein options. Build Your Owns are always fun; you get a little bit of everything you want - ahi tuna, salmon, and Hawaiian tuna with their Yuzu Ponzu are my go-tos. Pile on the toppings, get a dole whip (pretty much the only place in the valley you can get one!), and you're good to go! My only gripe about this place is that they seem to add way too much sauce and the food can end up being pretty salty. I'm definitely going to come back and try some of their other citrus-based sauces, though! read more

Only would give 4 stars instead of 5 because they actually put on all large amounts of all the toppings which made the poke bowl too salty - I was unable to finish as a result. Otherwise, portion size was excellent!! Poke was fresh. Highly recommend but don't select all the ingredients like I did. I also wish there was a way to select light sauce on the google payments page. read more

This will have to be one of my favorite poke places in the chandler area! Their sushi burritos are amazing!! They don't only use fish, they have chicken and beef in their burritos as well! The staff is always so friendly and they are very nice! I always the Pele sushi burrito which has shrimp tempura, lettuce, cucumber, and their house slaw! It's usually rolled in hot Cheetos but I ask for no hot Cheetos! My boyfriend got the honu which is the beef burrito! And it is so good! Definitely worth the try! We also get their dole whip and it is really good a refreshing on a hot day! I definitely recommend this place if you're in the chandler area or not! read more

Best poke burritos ever! The service is super fast and the workers are super nice and friendly.

I came in for a late lunch/early dinner on a Saturday around 3:40pm. The place was completely empty, but apparently this place is fairly new so it was to be expected. I was greeted by a friendly girl who quickly helped me select my Poke bowl and was very helpful when asked questions. The portions here are quite big, and definitely more Han enough to fill you up. The fish and all the other toppings were very fresh and tasty. I'd come back again! Great first experience. :) read more

This is my favorite poke place!! Prices are pretty standard for poke, food is delicious and great quality fish, and portions are large so I think it's definitely worth the price. The staff are SO friendly and kind I always love coming in here. My only small complaint is their hours, I wish they were open a little later. read more

Fantastic! It was my first time having Poke and I will definitely be back. Super fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly too!

I've been to a few poke places and I can honestly say this one has been the best one yet! It is hidden in a shopping center in Chandler. They have a variety of bowls and burritos and then a pick your own. I went with the build your own and it was so much! So many great choices! The price was definitely cheaper then other poke places when you consider how much food you get. The staff was amazing! I'm not sure if we were dealing with the manager or owner, but he was everything you would want in an owner. Friendly, nice, and helpful. I was surprised at lunch time that it wasn't packed. It's because it's a hidden gem! I look forward to going back to try their burrito rolls. Overall 5 star for cleanliness, menu, staff and delicious food. read more

I got the Kau Wela Sushi Burrito, with spicy tuna and jalapenos. It was totally fresh and totally excellent. The place was clean, and the staff was friendly. The infused iced tea was great. I will totally come here again to build my own poke bowl. I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

Poke Wave - Spicy Ahi Bowl. With some extras - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Rather pricey but sooo good. Ingredients are always fresh and delicious. I like that they will make each bowl to request!

Good food friendly staff good presentation clean place good selection prices can be better for a non restaurant place.

Everyone is always so kind and always smiling. Service is always great. I really appreciate the size bowl you get. Every other place I've tried gives you like 1 cube of salmon and 3 grains of rice and charges $20. It's by far my favorite poke place not just because of portion or service, but because of cost and flavor as well. read more

Love the food especially the sauces. My favorite is the Pele waverrito and the sirachioli sauce. Also the staffs are always super friendly. Overall I recommend this family owned restaurant. read more

Poke Wave - Pineapple DOLE Whip - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've been hearing about these majestic monster burritos for a whole and hadn't gotten around to actually trying one out. I went yesterday to pick up my takeout order and ordered the original sushi burrito with the hot cheetos around the exterior. DELICIOUS. The burrito was fresh and refreshing and amazingly delicious. The employee who helped me was also very lovely!! I understand the hype behind the burritos now :) read more

I love this place a little more every time i come back. They have amazing customer service. The owner called me by name when I walk in that's so awesome that you would remember that with all the people that come in. The Citrus kale salad hands down by far is my favorite item and what sets them apart from every other poke Bowl place. Everything is always so fresh tasting and the portions are huge I get at least two meals out of it. They even comped my drink, I got the pineapple coconut tea. Oh my God let me tell you it is amazing. read more

Poke Wave - Citrus kale salad with Hawaiian tuna, crab meat, spicy tuna with garlic soy sauce and lime ponzu. Yummy! - Poke Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Customer service is AMAZING. The poke was pretty good as well. I would have liked to have more sauce choices (spicy miso) an the option to get a smaller bowl/plate. read more

I am a huge fan of Poke so I tried Poke Wave on a whim. These guys do not disappoint. The ingredients that they have is different from many other poke places. I'd recommend the citrus kale as your base as opposed to a normal salad. They offer the normal ingredients that you'd find in most poke places but some that I found unique as well. The staff is amazingly accommodating and very happy to answer any questions and make recommendations. read more

I used to go here all the time for lunch when I attended the high school nearby. I go back occasionally and the food is still as good as I remembered :) read more

You guys, this little poke spot is my jam. Do you know what I love so much about Poke Wave? Besides the obvious, it's the consistency. The consistency of the food and service. It's family owned and boy does it show! They take so much pride in their business and it's appealing! For dinner I ordered Hawaiian tuna and salmon as my protein on top of spring mix because I like to pick and choose where I eat my carbs. Of course you get brown or white rice or half rice/ half salad. I pick all the toppings leaving little out, the more colorful the better and extra sauce please! My sauce of choice is the sriracha aioli but other times I've gone in I order my favorite: wasabi aioli, I needed a switch up this go around. I ordered the MISO soup for the first time but NOT my last, it was perfect. Super hot and super flavorful. The toppings are perfectly paired together and none overpower one another, I love the Nori and fresh fruit options available. The review is long overdue and deserves all 5 stars!! Thank you for taking quality care of your customers! read more

I am not sure why my review was filtered, I went back recently and it is still the freshest poke place around my neighborhood. Here is the review that was filtered last year: I think I have found my new favorite poke place! The fish and other ingredients seem fresher than others in the area. They have a better variety of toppings like mango, pineapple, and corn. The service was warm and friendly, the restaurant was exceptionally clean, and the prices were reasonable. I will be back! read more
