Ambiance: Spacious and bright. Service: Efficient and personable. Food: Our go to orders is two 1/4lbs of 2 different types of poke, a side of rice, and hawaiian sun and it brings me right back to Hawaii. I'm not a fan of customizable poke but the poke itself is delicious and very reminiscent of the flavors commonly found in Hawaii which is fairly rare. Overall, great place if it's the type of poke you're looking for. I've definitely been back a couple of times already! read more

Food is always great here. I love all of the options and while it's not cheap, the portions are large. Service is always nice and they are always willing to explain anything. They are patient as I decide what I want and can split the salad/rice options so you can have some of everything. My whole family enjoys going here. read more

This is such a great place for a quick poke bowl! The staff is always super nice and the food is really good! read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Build a Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great build your own poke bowls! Highly recommend the Dragon bowl too! Service was fast, and they explained everything to us first timers.

There are so many poke places popping up lately, but Pure is one of a handful of places where I could immediately tell the ingredients are good. They have a sort of formula for success going on--limited proteins, with an abundance of flavor. What I liked: They're not afraid to bring the spice. They've got fish with gochugang, sambal, and more. It's not for the California Roll crowd for sure. I tried a bowl featuring Kahunu Tuna, and I also had some poke nachos. What gives pause: I feel like everything here was made well, but too sweet for my tastes. The Kahunu sauce is tasty, but sweeter than common condiments like eel sauce and perhaps my bowl had too much. But then the chili sauce was too sweet. And even the wasabi cream in the nachos tasted like there was a little added sugar. I think service is great, it's got a decent fast casual atmosphere, and it's worth giving a try for yourself. But I've already got my shortlist of lunchtime seafood spots, and I'm not sure Pure would make the cut. read more

I had dinner here last night with a group of friends. This is an order-at-the-counter place and you get your food immediately, kind of like Chipotle. It was quiet, which made conversation easy. As for the food, I got a Poke Bowl ($12) with one scoop of chiltepin salmon ($2.50), a base of noodles, and lots of veggies on top. There are many sauces to choose from, and you can get up to three for free. All of us enjoyed the food. read more

Definitely delicious! I'll be back again for sure. Everything tasted fresh, and the staff was very kind and patient with explaining the menu to me. read more

Will not be going back. Unfortunately I disagree with a lot of people that love this place. It isn't as fresh as one would hope. I love poke and have been to all poke places in town. This place just isn't good. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Big wave bowl - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Solid poke place for being landlocked in Tucson - you can build your bowl, choosing your base, proteins, and toppings. They offer a good amount of salmon and tuna options with different sauces - my favorites are the momo salmon (mayo based dressing with a kick) and the kahuku salmon and tuna (traditional style with base of soy sauce, sesame oil, and fresh ginger). There's a nice variety of toppings with mix of fresh vegetables, salads, and crunchy items. The bowls can be pricey overall but are definitely filling. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Our favorite Poke place in Tucson! In fact, we've eaten poke all over the place, including California, Hawaii and any other state that we are visiting! I still think this is our favorite. I love that they have the wonton chips as a base. You can select multiple bases. Everyone is friendly and online ordering is very easy. We tend to eat in most often but it's so easy to get it to go to. The only area of improvement would be their soda machine. The choices are pretty boring and most of the drinks just aren't good. Otherwise, we love this place!! read more

Poke has healthy ingredients but, face it, it's pure caloric decadence. I'm decadent so poke aligns with my moral values. I have never had bad poke and I hope I never will. The assembly line ordering method here means I can up the goodness even more. Tuna or salmon? Or? How about both, please! Load up on a noodle base, vegetables, and various layers of spicy heat: I'm good to go and will be back soon. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Salmon and tuna poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I have written a review before. I have grown to enjoy this place. Fresh fish! Nice selection. I like the momo. A little spicy ... I like the smoke squid and shrimp. They offer more than just poke bowls. I would suggest checking out the menu in advance. There are many choices for toppings too! They have drinks. Beers. Island beers etc. Seating area is boring and nothing fancy at all. Too bad but hey. read more

This has quickly become a favorite lunch spot. We can get a healthy lunch here quickly and there are so many options to pick from. I had a two school bowl with pure tuna and spicy tuna, both ere great. The service was fast and workers were polite and gave good recommendations. The location is close to a lot of our favorite shopping destinations. The restaurant is very clean, comfortable and tastefully decors. read more

Price and portion was not bad for poke. Various marinades to choose from for the salmon and tuna; there were other proteins as well (I believe crab mix, shrimp, and maybe squid were all options). Lots of toppings to choose from and sauces as well, including cucumber! I paid an extra dollar for seaweed salad. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Squid salad bowl - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been looking for a good poke place in Tucson. I'm glad I came across Pure Poke and Prep! When you walk in, you order Chipotle-style, where you select your toppings behind the counter as they build it for you. There are various fish options, plain or without marinades. I opted for the plain tuna, a Kahuku tuna, and plain salmon in my three scoop bowl. All of the fish were excellent. Additionally, I loved their variety of toppings. Although they charge for avocado, I enjoyed the maple-soy roasted sweet potatoes and cucumber salad, which are free toppings. I had two downsides to my experience. First, I had some confusion about the sauces. I did not get enough sauce and only got a small plastic sauce container. I requested my sauce on the side but was told they charge per sauce container. I'm still confused by the sauce prices since the sauces seem to be unlimited if you get it in the bowl. Second, I thought the quantity of fish I received was small for what I paid. Although the three scoop poke bowl was enough fish to satisfy me, it was quite pricey. In poke places in California, I could be happy with a one or two scoop poke bowl due to more generous portions. Overall, Pure Poke and Prep is a decent place for poke in Tucson. I plan to return! read more

Pure Poke & Prep - a bowl of food - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This wasn't the best pokey place I've been to. But it was super clean. The price was about right and the service was outstanding. We ordered for different bowls and we're also trying to figure out something for a child. Staff there was super patient working through all the combinations and trying to find something that would work. They really bent over backwards to accommodate us and took the time necessary to listen. Sometimes fish can be hit or miss in the desert. The salmon was just fine. The tuna was a bit flavorless, but at least it didn't taste bad all in all, I would consider coming back here again. Poke was solid for Tucson but the staff is what really made a difference. read more

This place is awesome. Online ordering was super easy and convenient. I love all the different options they offer from the base of the bowl to the toppings in the build your bowl option! Pick up was quick and staff was friendly and even gave my daughter a free drink which was very generous. The bowls are LOADED! I couldn't believe the amount of food for the price and the quality of our bowls was top notch. The sea food and veggies taste fresh and look bright and boldly fresh. This is a great way to have healthy options that taste delicious. I especially loved the seaweed salad, sweet potatoes, sesame noodles and kahuka tuna. I definitely recommend Pure Poke and Prep. read more

first of all i love coming here this is my spot the food is amazing and never fails to disappoint but today i had an awful experience first i got there at 11:05 and the doors were still locked i totally understand that and i don't mind but then the second i walked in i felt so much negativity the lady that was helping me was extremely rude and impatient which is weird because every time i go the customer service is great i asked her to tell me what kind of fish it was and instead of telling me kindly she made me feel like an idiot and talked to me like i was stupid then i went up and i asked for a little more spicy mayo on my bowl and she practically poured the whole container of mayo into one spot of my bowl after that my 20$ bowl was ruined and i couldn't eat it anymore i would love to return to this place but this service rly upset me so im not sure if i will read more

Drove from Green Valley to try this place out. The servers build a "bowl" based on your choices of noodles or greens, protein, veggies and other additions and sauces. Poke in Hawaii is usually your choice of tuna, salmon or octopus with sauce and sesame seeds, so the serving in a complete bowl was new to me. At any rate, the experience was wonderful: the food totally fresh, tasty and filling. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the ambiance pleasing (a brand new building). Give it a try, you will he glad you did! read more

white rice, shrimp, regular crab, edamame, jalapeño crisps, green onion, carrots, kale, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, lemon cilantro aioli This place is amazing. Not only is all of their staff friendly...but their bowls are amazing. You can choose from their pre-made recipes or you can make your own bowl. They have a lot of protein options (including vegetarian), a lot of sauces, and a lot of toppings. Spicy and not spicy options. I cant go anywhere else! I love this place! Oh! And you can earn points from your purchases on the mobilebytes app. read more

My boyfriend and I love poke bowls, specifically customizable ones. We passed by this place a few times and finally decided to try it. We each got a one-scoop bowl with salmon. We were both disappointed in the serving size. Most poke places in town give you two scoops of fish. Pure Poke only gives you one (and at a higher base price), and it's simply not enough. After my first several bites, I had so much of my bowl left (rice, cucumber, edamame aplenty) with no fish to go with it. The topping options are solid, and I appreciate that you can get seaweed salad for no additional cost. Avocado is extra, which isn't surprising. I had never seen roasted sweet potato as a poke topping before, which sounded interesting but didn't complement the flavors of the bowl in my opinion (I'm sure some people love it, but it's not something I would put on a poke bowl again). The fish tasted great, I just wish there was more of it. The sauces were also good--we tried the spicy mayo, sesame ginger, and house sauce. All were super flavorful. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again simply due to the price point and small serving of fish, but otherwise, everything tasted high quality. read more

So happy Pure Poke and Prep is available by delivery! I'm a big seafood lover and the food here is real good. I like that you can order poke bowls and mix and match toppings and other contents. I like the salmon as well as the tuna with either the ginger soy or spicy mayo. As for toppings the crunchy garlic/onion are my faves as well as the mango and edamame. I also like that you can order "just poke" if you're not feeling like having anything with the fish. It's also a plus that they package them real well during delivery. Def recommend them for any poke fix or cravings you may have! read more

My favorite spot to get poke in Tucson! The ingredients are always fresh. The staff are always friendly and helpful with any questions. Every time I've been here, the place is very clean. Great spot for a quick lunch! The dragon bowl is my favorite, spicy enough to get a good burn, but you can still enjoy the bowl. read more

Experience: We were looking for a quick bite to eat and came across this place. We visited during lunch hours and we were able to get our food fairly quickly. If you had never been to these kind of places, it is basically a chipotle but with poke/ seafood. Parking: There was a significant large parking lot that multiple businesses shared. We went there during lunch time and we had no difficulties trying to find parking. A lot of spaces available. Worth: If you are in the area, this is definitely worth the visit. The staff was very friendly, professional, and very helpful. The amount they give us was more than enough in the Poke Bowl (As pictured below). The drinks they also offer were really good (Taro and Thai), which we never saw before! Overall, if you are in the area, this place is a great option to go to for lunch/ dinner. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Custom Poke Bowl Bubble Milk Tea (Boba Drink - Taro 12oz Can and Boba Drink - Thai Tea 12oz Can) - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Fresh, easy and voluminous. You come in, are greeted, get pleasant assistance with your order if you desire (I sure did), can load up on veggies and then have a couple meals out of a huge poke bowl. Ordered house ahi and spicy salmon. The first was simple with flavor and allowed for some fun with the dipping sauces. The latter was not too much mayo but close - the flavor melts with the fish however. You can mix your base so I had brown rice (cooked perfectly), noodles (tasty and as oily as it looked) and salad (healthy mixed greens). I added seaweed for a buck and that was worth it but not a must. For the veggies I went for it all and glad I did for later making variations of bites. Not one thing was stale or off-putting. You have a bunch of sauce choices and can get them on the side if desired. If you are going for light, even if you want to eat a lot, this is a great option to venture. read more

Pure Poke & Prep - Everything to compliment house ahi and spicy salmon. Tasty indeed. - Poke Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food is refreshing, especially during the summertime. I always get the sesame noodles. I highly recommend the Kahuku salmon and Haole Tuna. Although sometimes the sauces can lean too sweet. The only downside would have to be the parking lot. It's not the largest and will fill up come lunchtime, so just plan ahead. read more

Food was great the two guys working were very helpful and answered any questions I had while they were preparing my food will definitely be back! read more

The food was very very fresh. The servings are generous so the price is fair if it takes you a couple sittings to eat! This restaurant does not try to be pretentious. It's good food served deli style and it's worth the trip read more

I love poke! I am an avid fan of pure poke I just don't live over here on this side of town anymore but when I am I try to stop by! They have bigger fish cuts than other poke places. They also have different marinades for the fish which is nice! They are really good and they have craft sake and beer! Which is like super awesome considering most poke places don't! I also like their spicy Mayo because it's actually spicy with flavor not just hot burn your mouth. Also their atmosphere is nice and calm with very chill music so it's a nice place to sit and eat. I highly recommend coming here for some yummy quality poke! read more

Fresh well prepared fish and a ton of different toppings for your bowl. Love that you've got multiple options for your bowl base and can do 1/2 and 1/2. Pricing is a bit high compared to other sushi places. read more

I was very disappointed to learn that spicy mayo is usually just mayonnaise and sriracha. Mostly because I've been so captivated by its flavor I was really hoping it was more complicated, but turns out I'm just a simpleton. Dang. Anyways, the spicy mayo they have on tap here is probably my favorite in town. Not to mention their seafood always tastes fresh never frozen and they have mucho options for toppings. I'll admit, I'm surprised to enjoy this place as much as I do. I half expected this to be a mediocre shopping center poke place, but despite the odds I find myself craving it often. But also, the sign out front sort of looks like it says "puke" which, come on guys. Really shooting yourself in the foot, there. read more

We ordered take out on the first day they opened. The place was very clean, the fish was fresh and the service was very friendly and polite. The food was mostly bland though. I got a custom bowl with their noodles, a scoop of tuna and a scoop of yellowtail with their "spicy" sauce. The taste just wasn't there. Same thing with most toppings. The only redeeming things in the plate were the raw jalapeno slices. I really wanted to like this place and become a regular, but I wasn't blown away. Pure Poke will remain an economic alternative to the slightly pricier Chriashi bowl at other sushi restaurants. read more

Recently tried Pure Poke and it was great. We both built our own bowls. I got the Kahuku Salmon bowl with all my fixings on half brown rice half greens. We also did a bowl with tuna and salmon on white rice, then went heavy on the toppings. I really enjoyed their pure delicious sauce which is a citrus soy type. They have quite a few different sauces. We got a side of delicious wonton chips as well and I would definitely recommend those if you don't wanna commit to poke nachos. read more

I will for sure be back! read more
