    Honestly wish I could remember what I ordered they have quite the extensive menu and you can even make your own bowls! Service was so fast we barely sat down for even 5 minutes before we were getting called. They have inside and outside seating as well as bar seating in a separate area. The atmosphere was fairly nice maybe just a little loud for certain people but they have plenty of seating you can choose a quieter area to be in. Over all the food was delicious and I will definitely be eating there again!

    Should you go? Yes, if you're looking for for high quality and low price poki in Albuquerque! I loved the customizable bowl experience + service at the bar!

    We were just at Poki Poki the other day and I saw an advertisement for a chicken teriyaki bowl, which looked really good so I figured I would stop in and grab it today. The staff there is very helpful and friendly. I got a small build a bowl with shrimp ceviche, kimchi, cabbage, roasted red pepper, and jalapeño sauce as like a salad dressing. I decided to change it up and get the crispy salmon strips.. couple problems with the appetizer number one they use the same sweet-and-sour sauce to use for the chicken dumplings and I thought they originally used a different sauce but anyways it didn't go and they tasted just a little too fishy for my liking. As for the chicken teriyaki bowl, there is a good amount of rice and veggies. The chicken was a bit dry and I next time get extra teriyaki sauce.. I'm sorry about the same. It's a kid review but you know I'm a seafood lover, but anything that's fishy to me just doesn't cut it and it looked good. It looked great actually as a matter of fact.. Hoping next time is better.

    Shared building with a few other options. Was craving pokè, and although I was skeptical, because we're in the desert here.. I was impressed. Built my own bowl (ultimate) and got the ahi nachos appetizer; both very tasty, and with delicious sauces. Only issue (Very Minor) the poke bowl comes with a pretty hefty serving of rice - could have been a better toppings/base split.

    In town for an archery tournament with my son. He had never had a Poke bowl so we were driving by and saw this one and stopped by. Very unique even interesting decor. Hipster type place to an old fellow like me. Orders are taken at the counter and they make it right then. Very friendly folks Poke bowls come in three sizes. We got the middle size and it was plenty for each of us. Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Parking lot in rear.

    Alright! It's about time I review Poke Poke! First off I've been coming to this restaurant since it originated near the university area.... Years and years and years, I'm a fan. Now I bought a house less than a mile from this location on Comanche and Wyoming. We come here a few times a month, always order the same thing because that's my jam. After visiting Hawaii, I can't get enough raw salmon and tuna! Make me a poke bowl and you'll have yourself a new regular. If you're not feeling poke, or raw fish, they offer tacos and taco bowls which is great, because there's always that one friend that won't do sushi . I've never tried the taco bowls, but let's be real, they are probably amazing. There's a little bar area where you can snag a local beer, OR they have a bombtastic tiki lounge part of the restaurant that'll make you a tiki drink.... THESE DRINKS ARE GREAT! They'll put you right in da island vibe! I'm a fan and I'm here to stay, so come get a bowl and enjoy this atmosphere.

    This is definitely a down to earth place if you want to hang out with friends and family or just want to go study with the vibe of still feeling social. They have seating downstairs and upstairs. The menu is very extensive and you can also built your own. They have many options for desserts and we got the Oreo cheesecake and it did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious and prepared or cooked to perfection depending with the dish we ordered. I have to say I finished my entire bowl and I usually have left overs but it was too good to take left overs home! Definitely will be returning again with a much bigger appetite! Thank you for being amazing Poki Poki!

    Custom Poke Bowl
    Destiny L.

    One of my favorite lunch pick ups, Poki Poki is always a quick and fresh lunch option relatively close to my house. I always do a build your own bowl and have for years. Kind of figured out what my personal preferences with lots of trial and error. I usually do a large bowl so I can make it into two meals but it definitely needs to be a lunch and dinner same day kind of thing. I go for the white rice base, and then a variety of meat offerings, including shrimp and salmon. You can actually request that they do a specific amount of each meet. So for a large bowl you get 5 ounces and you can request one of shrimp two of salmon and two of tuna for example. And then always request for extra sauce on the rice just because I like it saucy. I do crab meat and edamame as my toppings. Then I also add cucumber, masago, and seaweed as well. Sometimes the top it off with a little spicy mayo, but again they have so many offerings and you can customize it just about however you want. They also have a dessert offering which includes some really yummy cheesecakes, and other items. I haven't gone to sit and hang out in a really long time but they've added a lot to the space over the last couple years. I believe they also do alcoholic beverages and such. I will know the prices have gone up over the years, but I understand your food is really expensive especially here in New Mexico.

Xuan Asian is a clean little shop with some indoor seating and a front counter to order. We were seated immediately and served our waters. Menu doesn't seem like they had any Korean food; mainly Japanese. We got the Black Tonkotsu ramen and Combo Seafood Tempura bento box. Food came out pretty quick. I was blown away by how aromatic the garlic in the ramen was. -0.5 points for not having any black truffle oil though. Overall ramen is some of the best I've had in Abq. Bento box was a pretty large portion with tempura being super light and crispy. Yum! I'm very impressed with the quality of food and can't wait to try out the rest of their menu!

He went to the back to get a clean cutting board and knife and changed his gloves, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the other employee working with him did not seem to take my gluten allergy seriously. As my order was being prepared, he reached in front of the other employee and used his gloved hands instead of the serving spoons to grab items. He started with the crab (which is gluten-free) and then grabbed other items, cross-contaminating everything. When I noticed this, I asked that my food not be taken from those containers due to cross contamination. The employee preparing my food was very kind and went to get fresh containers. I watched my meal being made and felt comfortable eating it. Everything seemed safe, and the food was really good! I was just disappointed that one employee did not take cross contamination seriously. Since the menu is clearly marked with gluten-free items, I would expect staff to be properly educated on cross contamination.

For 30.00 you can order whatever you want from the large sushi menu. You have to eat it all and you have a two hour time limit. It kind of reminded me of Meat Beard the food challenge Tuber who eats gigantic food challenges except that you don't get a free meal if you eat everything. It's okay sushi. I find that sushi here in ABQ tends to be the sweet sauce kind and that's no exception here. I had a few nigiris a few special rolls and an eel hand roll. I liked the eel roll except I thought I'd left cream cheese on sushi back in Seattle where I used to live. I've given up on super fresh fish here in ABQ, mainly because I get that we are in the desert so any sushi is welcome. But the nigiris were all fresh tasting with bouncy flesh. The surf clams was the best of those. The place is a little tatty with a half assed attempt at paper flower decorations on a few walls. It's clean but looks old and worn. The staff were nice and friendly and didn't make you work hard to re-order. So the answer to my question is Yes, being able to eat a lot of mediocre food for free is a nice treat. This is better than a lot of the other sushi joints in town and more betterer because you can eat a ton if you want

I have to say the young man helping me out felt bad and threw in an extra key lime pie. The place had many tables occupied but it was comfy atmosphere. Received white rice but ordered fried.
