    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!

    Build Your Own Ultimate Bowl
    Daryl E.

    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.

It has that wonderful "home-cooked" energy that is so rare to find. The efficiency here is simply remarkable. I dropped in for lunch and opted for the Shrimp Chow Mein, and it arrived at my table within a mere few minutes! Talk about impressive timing. The dish itself was a total triumph perfectly flavorful shrimp with just the right touch of savory richness. At approximately $12, it is an absolute steal for the quality and care put into the preparation. I am officially charmed by this spot and giving it a well-deserved 10/10.

Sushi including the sashimi plates are 50% Food: Dragon Roll: The roll was a nice size so that it could be eaten in 1 bite. Mini Sashimi Plate: The fish was fairly fresh tasting. This was included in the 50% off. Sesame Scallion Noodles: The noodles have a savory sesame scallion sauce coating it. It is very savory but also has a very heavy sesame flavor to it. Shrimp Fried Rice: They used short grain rice for the fried rice. It does have the wok char taste, but it is very oily (probably because they need more oil to prevent this type of rice from sticking together). There are nuts in it. Pan Fried Chicken Buns: This was the highlight of the dinner. These buns are handmade at the store and have a juicy chicken filling. Service: 5 Our waitress was super nice, but there was a little trouble in ordering due to the language barrier. Most of the food didn't take too long to come out besides the pan fried buns. Ambiance: 4 The restaurant is located in a quiet plaza. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant itself has a lot of booths and is fairly clean.

This place is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly. The portion size is very large. The sauces on the sauce bar are delicious.

There is also green onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and such at the sauce bar. There are many options available. The fried mushroom appetizer was good too. Great for a group or date night. It is a casual atmosphere, but a fun experience.

I haven't been inside, but I tried their take-out. The wings were okay. It honestly didn't stand out bc it tasted like the sweet Asian chili sauce in a bottle. The crisp from the wings didn't look "double fried," which Korean chicken wings are known for. The cucumber kimchi ($3) looked a little different than traditional cucumber kimchi, but still tasty and spicy. Their cabbage and radish kimchi had a nice kick to as well, and I liked the extra ginger note. The 2 Korean tacos ($8.95) can be mix and match, so I got the Bulgogi beef and Spicy Pork. The presentation was lovely and they tasted good. There was a lot of meat and paired well with kimchi. In the future, I'll have a side rice. Overall, I recommend, but wished they would add mandoo or fried dumplings as an appetizer.

Unfortunately, the other employee working with him did not seem to take my gluten allergy seriously.

He started with the crab (which is gluten-free) and then grabbed other items, cross-contaminating everything.
