    This was my first time here. I've been wanting to try it for a while now, but I'm usually in the Plaza on Sundays, when they're closed. I got the Poke burrito with 2 proteins: spicy salmon & tempura shrimp. I added spicy mayo, eel sauce, edamame, carrots, cucumber, cream cheese, sesame seeds & crispy wontons. There was no additional charge for any of my toppings, but the easy-to-read menu informs you if anything you want to add comes with an additional fee, so there's no surprises. Every item looked and tasted extremely fresh & delicious! Inside there are several tables with condiments on them, and there is free iced lemon water near the entrance. Outside there are 2 small tables. The gentleman who helped me came to check on me several times, as I dined inside. He even offered to bring me extra sauces. I will definitely be back. Great experience, all around!

    Bumping up to five stars since my original review over a year ago. Poké Island Plus is one of my go-to places, and favorite poké spot in Tampa. Reliability and consistency, fresh quality ingredients, friendly staff with great service inside or to go, plus allergy friendly. I switch hit the 2 Scoop protein and 3 Scoop protein bowls with slightly different toppings combinations. Depends on whether or not I can pick just two. Both are hefty portions for me so I'm getting leftovers either way. The leftovers fare well. I'm kind of addicted to spicy mayo, so I can't vouch for the other sauces. I'll probably try them someday though. They still don't serve gluten-free soy and/or tamari, so I use my own. I learned there is additional parking behind the plaza, which is clutch since the front is a busy takeout scene.

    wow, five stars with over 100 reviews! Let me add to that. My first time trying poke, I am definitely a fan, I'd describe it as deconstructed sushi. But it's so fresh and healthy, the restaurant itself is super clean and friendly, give it a try!

    What a POKE BOWL! We have enjoyed Poke Island Plus since they opened and then when they temporarily suspended operation due to COVID last year we were so sad. But fear not! They are back and better than ever! The place is kept immaculate and feels so bright & cheery AND the staff matches that vibe. Every visit they thank you and are genuinely pleased to provide great service. The options for bowls are fantastic and every flavor is fresh. Next time I will take photos of the food. Yesterday I was starving and started eating right away.

    By far one of the best pho bowls and pokè bowls you can get in the Pinellas County area. Pokè Island Plus not only provides delicious food and drinks but their friendly hospitality definitely shines along with their outstanding customer service. Mark this place in your bookmarks to come here for lunch/ dinner.

    I have only had the Poké and boba drinks here so this is my review on what I had. They do offer Viet cuisine, but I haven't had it yet. I really like the style and cleanliness of this establishment. I also like the friendliness of the staff. I think I usually pick great toppings so my poke bowls have been good. My biggest issues: - not many protein options - not many veggie and topping options - too many toppings are considered premium - to get everything you want in a bowl it gets close to $20 for 1 person - the boba is okay and so far the best I've had in the immediate area... I get the best Boba drinks in East Tampa - all the competition in the area for poke bowls have much more toppings and is less expensive - I don't like that the sauce is only a topping and they don't mix the poke with the sauce beforehand - no marinated ahí Due to price I won't be coming back very often because I have one closer to my house that has all the toppings that I want and aren't charging me a premium for them. Since my favorite Vietnamese restaurant isn't very far I don't for see myself ordering Viet food from here but who knows. If you're OK with only one crunchy topping available no seaweed, no mango and paying a premium for toppings then this place is for you.

    Great poke, but the extra cost for certain add ons get expensive. There are a couple things I've noticed as I eat my way around Tampa Bay's poke places. Usually there is an option of two or three protein scoops, this place gives the option for one as well. This place charges extra for masago and seaweed salad and doesn't offer krab salad as a topping. I love my masago, seaweed salad, and krab salad toppings, which is why I'll probably stick with Poke Falls. I thought maybe because they charge extra for those toppings their bowls are cheaper. Not the case, their two scoop is about fifty cents more expensive than Poke Falls. Other than the upcharges, this place is good! Unlike other poke places, it offers a variety of other foods. My husband will appreciate this, because he doesn't like raw fish. I also really liked the Yummy Sauce. It's like the white sauce you get at hibachi restaurants. It made my bowl taste creamy and a little more decadent. I got two scoops of salmon on a salad bowl with edamame, red onions, pineapple, crispy wonton, masago, and cilantro. I haven't met a poke bowl I dislike and this was no exception. If I'm going somewhere to eat with people who don't like poke and that's what I'm craving, I'd go here. Otherwise, I'm going places that don't charge for masago, seaweed salad, and krab salad.

    4.5 stars restaurant. Not yet 5 stars to my book. This restaurant has plus at back of the name. This mean they beyond just poke only. The restaurant also has the Vietnamese cuisine. So you can get poke and cook meal. I got best of both worlds. I start with mixed poke. I got the base as rice and protein as tuna. They are generous for one scoop of protein. This is why they have 5 stars. I got all the mixed in ingredients and topping that have have no up charge. The sauce are poke sauce, eel and special ask for sesame oil. It was really good for mixed in. I would pre them to do mixed in ingredients and protein separately than added into the base then add topping. But they don't have this procedure. They do put the sauce over base then on top of mixed in ingredients. This area they can improve. We also got the combination pho and grilled pork bun. Their Vietnamese side food also delicious. The grilled pork is well marinated and their pho is deep with herb smell.

    A great fresh tasting poke bowl spot! I took a bike ride to Oldsmar from Carrollwood so I was really hungry but wanted something light so I could continue my bike ride back to carrollwood! I love me a poke bowl and so I was excited to try this place. I had the Poke salad bowl with 2 scoops of protein. With tip it came out to just under $15. Not excessively expensive but not cheap either. Poke salad Bowl- I created my own with fried chicken & spicy tuna. It was topped with all the free vegetables, all the free toppings except cream cheese and wasabi and it was topped with their original spice sauce and wasabi mayo sauce. The original spice sauce was reminiscent of kimchi with a spiciness to it. The wasabi mayo wasn't overpowered with wasabi and nor was it as thick as you would expect a mayo to be- which is what I like, a looser sauce! The fried chicken is prepared when ordered so you have a freshly fried chicken! As for the picture tuna, I wasn't the biggest fan because I don't like minced tuna. I like bigger chunks- like they had the spicy salmon in bigger chunks. You taste the freshness better! The bowl itself was pretty filling. 4/5

    Yes this is the real deal. Flavorful, fresh and fantastic. I had the bowl with spicy tuna, tempura shrimp and Krab with almost every other topping. Yum! My husband had the Pork Bao (steam buns) & steamed gyoza and was very happy. Clean, fresh ingredients and very nice owners. We'll be back:)

    Do the boba teas have milk? If so, can almond milk be substituted?

You order at a kiosk right as you walk in, which admittedly was the only negative here as it just backed up the entry way when you had two large groups trying to order at once. But there was ample seating beyond the entry for both small and large groups I ended up doing the build your own poke bowl, opting for tuna, salmon, onions, cucumbers, scallions, seaweed, and poke sauce. Everything was nice and fresh, and the portion size was about what I'd expect for the price. My friend got the classic ramen which she said was quite tasty, plus one of the boba teas. We both agreed that we'd easily come back to this place! If you can't find parking in front, there's actually a fairly large lot behind the building that still has plenty of spaces even with the busier Mother's Day rush.

The restaurant is a simple setup with tables and booths, nothing fancy but functional. There's no one taking your food order; it's all done by the tablet when you walk in, as a self-service. Good option when you need a noodle bowl fix!
