I've had my fair share of poke bowls, and this one easily ranks among my favorites in Central Florida. Tucked inside East End Market on the first floor, this walk-up counter spot keeps things simple and fresh. I ordered the 2-style poke bowl ($19) with the Lava Flow Tuna and Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon (contains nuts) over rice. After ordering, I grabbed a table in the courtyard, where there are plenty of umbrella-shaded seats that make for a relaxing place to enjoy your meal. The standout here is the freshness. Every piece of fish was thick-cut, buttery, and incredibly clean-tasting. The Lava Flow Tuna is lightly torched, adding a subtle smokiness that complements its sweet, savory glaze with just the right kick of spice. It was rich and flavorful without overpowering the tuna itself. The Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon was my favorite. It had a rich, buttery texture, while the tobiko added little bursts of texture and a subtle briny finish. Nothing felt overly sauced or heavily seasoned, allowing the quality of each ingredient to shine. At first glance, the portion looked a little small, but it ended up being the right amount to leave me satisfied without feeling overly full afterward. At around $20-ish, it is on the pricier side for a poke bowl, but considering the quality and freshness of the fish, I walked away happy. If you're already visiting East End Market, this is an easy recommendation, especially if you're looking for something fresh, flavorful, and lighter without sacrificing quality. read more

My friend recommended me to try Rion and I was not disappointed! The container may look small, but this bowl was packed with hot white rice and the most flavorful, fresh fish! I ordered the scallops and miso salmon. I went around 2pm and thankfully the line to wait wasn't that long and the people working were so kind and helpful because I didn't know what to order. The scallops are to DIE for read more

If you've ever been to Hawaii and missed the poke from Foodland then this is your chance! Fresh and delicious! Pick one scoop or two over rice... we added crab salad to one bowl and seaweed salad to the other. The service is great, but you should know... this place is inside east end market so it's tight and crowded. We did have to wait on a bit of a line but it was worth it. When we got there some flavors were sold out already but we both were happy with our selections. One more thing... if they have brown sugar banana butter mochi cake GET IT! I'm not kidding... don't sleep on it! We got the last one and OMG it is so good! Overall we loved the food and the vibe in the market. Go get a poke bowl and thank me later!! read more

After hearing rave reviews about Rion's Ocean Room, I finally decided to give it a try for myself! Overall, I enjoyed my meal but my wallet did not. My husband and I stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday, and fortunately, they still had everything we wanted available. We've heard stories of them selling out early in the past, so we were glad we came when we did. When we got there, there were only 2 parties ahead of us, but with only one employee working, it took a little while to order. The employee seemed a bit flustered trying to manage everything on his own, so I think having a second person working during lunch would make the experience much smoother and faster. We ordered the One Pound Party Pack with Spicy Yuzu Tuna, Hawaiian Tobiko Ahi, Spicy Salmon, and Miso Sesame Salmon. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful, and we loved being able to try several different varieties. That said, we would have liked a little more rice for the amount of fish included. I also think more topping options, like avocado, mango, or cream cheese, would add some variety and make the poke feel more customizable. Our meal came out to over $40 before tip, which felt a little pricey for the amount of food we received, but the quality was definitely there. I would most likely return when I'm in the mood to splurge on some really fresh poke, but for me, it's definitely more of an occasional treat than an everyday lunch spot. read more

Absolutely amazing poke! Both the salmon and the ahi I ordered were bursting with flavor. They definitely do not skimp on the ingredients. You get what you pay for. High quality fish, nice portion size, and just delicious combinations. For the short time I was there to get my food, service was great! Those working behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming. I will come back in a heartbeat! read more

Is it a great poke spot? Yes! Is it the best poke place ever? No! The ingredients are fresh, but I would prefer them evenly cubed rather than in small pieces. Some of the things are way too sweet. The ambiance is casual. And the big downside is parking. read more

Rion's Ocean Room - Poke Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Pokeworks (yes, a franchise...) used to be my favorite place for poke in Orlando after I realized the quality at Poke Hana had declined over the past few years. I think the creator of Rion's noticed the same opportunity I did: the lack of a place in Orlando serving poke with truly high-quality fish. The focus here is clearly the seafood proteins (tuna, salmon, shrimp, or scallops), which are very fresh and cut into large pieces. Each scoop comes with a fair portion. The standard bowl, in addition to the poke scoops, includes rice, ginger, scallions, rice crunches, fried garlic, and sauces. I got a bowl with volcano scallops (delicious and an amazing bang for your buck, you're getting scallops after all) and salmon with a cashew-based sauce. Both were excellent. My friend ordered the tuna options and, for just $2 more, added a side of ocean salad (how they call their seaweed salad). I hope they stay open for a long time, because this has become not only my favorite spot at East End, but also my favorite place for poke in town. read more

Rion's Ocean Room - Poke Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The best poke in Orlando! It's located inside a market with several other shops, and you can either take your poke to go or enjoy one of the outdoor seating areas. Get there right when they open because there's usually a line, and popular items can sell out. The fish is always incredibly fresh and high quality. My favorites are the Spicy Salmon, Tobiko Salmon, and the Scallops (when they're available. My favorite on the menu). The new Miso Sesame Salmon is lightly torched, giving it an amazing smoky flavor, another amazing option. You literally cannot go wrong here!! read more

I stopped at Rions today to pick up lunch. This was only my second time visiting but it was delicious. The staff were super helpful and attentive. This is counter service so pick up only.

I got here pretty close to when they close and the only poke they had left was the Hawaiian tobiko salmon, but man was it tasty! It was definitely the freshest poke I've had, and served over rice it was the perfect meal. The sauces on it were super flavorful as well. The employee was super friendly and gave us lots of information, and the prices were not bad for the quality and amount you get! There isn't any seating inside, since it's in the East End Market, but there's lot of seating outside and everything comes in a to go container. I definitely want to come back earlier in the day and try more types of poke! read more

Rion's Ocean Room - Hawaiian tobiko salmon over rice with spicy mayo, green onions, crispy garlic, & pickled ginger - Poke Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a great poke spot located in East End Market. I've tried several of their flavors, and my favorites are the Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon/Ahi Tuna and the Sweet Yuzu Salmon/Ahi Tuna. The Hawaiian Tobiko is more of a creamier flavor and the Sweet Yuzu is more of a brighter, cleaner flavor. The rice is usually chewy and well-cooked. However, there was one time I came that it was undercooked and kind of hard, but that honestly felt like a one-off. For the most part, they're pretty consistent. The staff is always friendly and smiley. Even though the lines are almost always long, they move things along quickly and are patient if you're deciding between flavors. I've always had a pleasant experience here. Outside, there's a cute seating area with picnic tables and some shaded spots, which makes for a nice place to sit and eat since Rion's is only grab and go. The only downside here is parking. It can be tough to find a spot since it's in a busy plaza with a lot of other restaurants. read more

Good poke is hard to find these days. A little taste of Hawaii here. I think the fish to rice ratio was perfect. There wasn't that long of a line on a Monday afternoon around 1 pm. The staff were so friendly as well. read more

Felt compelled to review Rion's Ocean Room again since I recently tried their two new menu items: volcano scallops & Old Bay scallops (both fully cooked). The volcano scallops have krab salad mixed in. Yum! The Old Bay scallops were tossed in a creamy sauce with Old Bay seasoning and that's the primary flavor you taste. Previously, I really enjoyed the creamy garlic shrimp but was informed by an employee they were removed for the time being potentially due to supplier inconsistencies. Initially this made me sad, however the addition of scallops completely makes up for it. I will be thinking of the volcano scallops until I can be back for more! Torched to perfection with a hint of smokiness, nestled in a decadent spicy mayo concoction. Rion's has reignited my love for scallops! I come here every Saturday and will continue doing so. read more

Rion's fish is super fresh! I tried the spicy tuna and the Hawaiian tobiko salmon in the pick 2 bowl for $18. The seaweed salad is an additional $2. Although it is very tasty, I felt the portion side was a little smaller than I'd hoped. Also I don't love that all other toppings are additional. Most other poke places included a few toppings. I did have to wait a good amount of time to order. Another person in line told me they are normally really fast, I must have just caught them on an off day. read more

The best Hawaiian style poke in Orlando. This place is inside of East End Market nestled between Gideon's and Gyukatsu Rose. Usually their selection involves poke made of either the freshest tuna, salmon, ahi, scallops, or octopus. They also have mac, seaweed, or krab salad that you could add to your bowl for a few dollars extra. Whatever they have available for the day is displayed in a glass container and you can select either 1 scoop or 2 scoops of poke. They also offer a variety of toppings, such as wasabi, pickled ginger, tobiko, fried garlic, crunchies, and green onions. Sriracha, eel sauce, and spicy mayo are also available as extra sauces to put on top. The people at the counter are very sweet and always make the best recommendations based on your tastes, but honestly, anything you get here is great. Because it's in East End Market, seating can be a bit limited, but there is outdoor seating available and you can sometimes find a few benches on the 2nd floor to eat your meal. They also have a punch card that you can redeem for a free bowl of poke after getting 10 punches. It is a bit pricey, and is definitely a bit more unique than other poke places in Orlando, but the flavor, quality of the fish, and the people more than make up for it. read more

Rion's Ocean Room is inside East End Market. So you see the poke through a glass kind of like how you see seafood and meat in a glass in a Publix. They have no inside seating here. Just line up and order and eat outside. I ate upstairs inside The Neighbors which was nice. I only wanted a small serving since I was having dinner a few hours later. I ordered a fourth a pound each of macaroni salad and Hawaiian tobiko tuna. Both were so good. I really loved both of them and would want to go back asap. I want to try the sweet yuzu poke next time. I've tried Hawaiian macaroni salad many times and it's one of my faves, but everyone makes it so different. This one was definitely a great one! read more

I love Poke and have been wanting to try this place for a while now! I came here on the weekend for lunch. The girl at the counter was so nice and gave me recommendations on what to get. I love that you can see everything that they serve right in front of you in the case. I got Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon & Ahi Tuna with seaweed salad and mac salad. I also got a Passionfruit guava juice which was amazing. I was really blown away how fresh the fish tasted. The Mac salad and seaweed salad were perfect too! This place is a bit pricey but it's so good. I would definitely come back here! You should try this place out if you love Poke or Sushi. read more

I've been to Hawaii, and this is one of the few places that actually reminds me of the poke I had there, it tastes very authentic! The POG juice was also SO good and paired perfectly with the meal.

Rion's Ocean Room - Poke Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Rion's Ocean Room lived up to the hype. As someone who loves poke and anything fish, this was an excellent meal that didn't disappoint. Rion's is a small counter service stall located in the East End Market, so keep in mind that on busy days you might encounter a line and have difficulty finding a seat. The food is absolutely worth the wait, though. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the selection of flavors and sauces gives you plenty of options to customize your bowl. The spice levels are dialed in just right, providing enough heat to feel it without overpowering the dish. We ordered the Party Pack for two people and got a solid amount of food. It was filling for two adults. If I had one note, I'd say they could include a bit more rice with the Party Pack, but that's a minor point. The meal was enjoyable and the execution is solid. If you're a poke lover or someone who appreciates fresh fish done well, Rion's is worth seeking out. I'll definitely be back. read more

Rion's Ocean Room was born out of Sonny Nyguen's love for Hawaiian Poke. This spot has a counter with a large variety of poke to choose from. I ordered mine served over rice and it was so delicious. The Maui Onion Chips and Hawaiian Soda really gives you the feeling that you are on the Main Street in Waikiki where fresh poke sold by the pound is easily found in the grocery stores! The Poke is cold and served over warm rice. This is one of the many restaurants of the Domu Dynasty. read more

We visited Rion's Ocean Room on a Sunday around 3pm. They had no line (lucky us) so we ordered immediately. I got the shoyu tuna with some seaweed salad and fresh wasabi. My companion got the garlic shrimp with some crab salad. We also ordered some Maui onion chips. The ahi was honestly so good. It tasted like I was back in Hawaii, and it was very fresh. I love that this place does by the pound and will likely get some for my next gathering. The seaweed salad was very good too, it was really well balanced. The garlic shrimp was actually very tasty too, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce was awesome, nice and heavy on the garlic. So, obviously I was pretty happy with the food, so why 4 stars? Our total came out to over 40 bucks before tip. Now I know that sushi grade fish is expensive, so I actually think this is totally reasonable for the serving of ahi that I got, but it doesn't make quite as much sense for the shrimp. Especially when you realize that by the pound the shrimp is 7.50 cheaper than the ahi, it doesn't make sense to charge the same amount for it over rice. I was also a little disappointed that the Maui sweet onion chips were deep River instead of a Hawaiian brand. I'll absolutely be going back to Rion's, and I'm excited to try their other flavors like the Hawaiian Tobiko and the Lava Flow. read more

I came here on Valentine's Day to grab lunch to go before my class. This place and Gideon's were busy, but the line was moving. I ordered the 1 poke bowl and chose a Sweet Ahi option. To be honest, the flavor didn't hit. I've had some other options before and they were delicious, but this one was bland. I was disappointed. The base should carry on its own without the additional sauces and toppings, but this one needed it. Other than that service was great and the vibes are always great there too. read more

Located in the East End Market, this casual poke eatery is a great spot to grab a taste of Hawaii. I stopped in pretty late around 4:30p on Saturday, and pretty much everything was gone except the Shoyu Ahi. The employee at the front counter explained the flavor profile difference between the Hawaiian Tobiko vs Shoyu and informed me it has more of a soy/sesame flavor profile and is savory. She was super informative and gave great energy as we discussed the menu offerings. I ordered the 1 poke over rice option with ocean salad ($2 upcharge) spicy mayo drizzle, fried garlic, pickled ginger, tobiko, and scallions. My total was $19 after taxes - and I did sell them out! Since it was a pretty nice day out, I decided to eat outside. The first bite of ahi was fresh and flavorful. Immediately you can taste the soy but it's not overpowering. I do like that the cubed pieces are pretty good in size and are firm. The tip is bring your own seaweed sheets or you can purchase them at the counter, along with their Maui Onion flavored chips. Everything from the ocean salad to the topping in addition to the spicy mayo drizzle was delicious. I loved how bright and fresh everything was. Also for the $19 I spent on this bowl, I can say it's money well spent. I need to come back to try the Hawaiian Tobiko and Lava Flow per the recommendation of the staff. read more

Insanely fresh and delicious poke fish! I got a 1 Poke Over Rice (with the sweet yuzu ahi) while my boyfriend splurged on getting a 1 Pound Party Pack (4 different proteins that came packaged in a little Lunchable looking thing) all for himself. We forgot to take pictures of our food before chowing down because the fish was just THAT GOOD (or maybe we were just too hungry to let Yelp eat first today hehe). Pro tip: get the pack of roasted seaweed. It was an absolute game changer to use the roasted seaweed to make little hand rolls/ poke tacos. If you don't know about this area, Rion's is located inside East End Market. This is one of my absolute favorite places to indulge in some good drinks and eats since there is such a variety here, but I will say the parking fills up quick! There are typically lines for most of the good food options here, and Rion's was definitely worth the wait. The staff were so patient and nice with our one million questions we asked them. I would definitely come back as the flavors of my lunch were dancing on my palette! read more

First time trying this place out. The tuna was so fresh and flavorful.

We visited Rion's Ocean Room, where we shared a poke bowl between two people. We tried the Sweet Yuzu Ahi and the Lava Flow Ahi, with my favorite being the Yuzu. The Lava Flow was very tasty, but can be a bit spicy if you are sensitive to spice! Overall, the flavors of the poke bowl were very tasty, and portion sizes were decent (not huge, but decent for good quality fish). Sharing one bowl between two people did not fill us up, but it provided us the opportunity to try other food spots in the East End Market! As for seating, there is no indoor seating, but thankfully all seating outdoors was under shade! It's a very nice spot to sit and enjoy a meal with family or friends. read more

Still one of the best poke places. Although prices are high the poke and amount you receive is absolutely worth it. Service was spectacular last time we went. He recommended the Lava flow for the tuna or salmon and it was a treat for us. I also have to say their rice is absolutely delicious. Although the ordering spot is a bit on the tighter end they seem to have a system that flows everyone through. The place itself is inside East End Market. Which is already an amazing vibe.

I've been missing Hawaii lately so I decided it was time to stop by Rion's Ocean Room. Knowing they're a super popular spot at East End Market, we tried to come for an early lunch around 11am (keyword: tried. Highly recommended coming early on weekend as spots fill up quickly in the parking lot of East End Market). The line looked longer than it is because it wraps around the counter and out the side door, but it moved very quickly. The staff were all extremely friendly, and I was pleasantly surprised that they treated me as if I was a life long friend. Everyone was super knowledgeable on the different offerings as well. Growing up as a frequent visitor to Hawaii, I tried not to have too high of expectations but again I was surprised with the taste of the poke. It was marinated perfectly and tasted so fresh atop the bed of warm rice. My only regret was that I wish I had gotten my own bowl instead of splitting with my boyfriend! Rion's Ocean Room has easily become one of my favorite spots at East End Market and I will definitely be back for more fresh poke! read more

This place is addicting. Holy smokes. I honestly do not know a better poke bowl in town. My friends from Queens got me hooked and I've been several times since. I have tried about 5 of the proteins and each one is them are fresh and flavorful. Even the plain salmon is great. The product is high quality. The only thing I wish I had was an online update that warned you they were sold out for the day. My husband and I love to meet up for lunch during the work day for a treat. An absolute must try!! read more

Love Rion's freshness and selection. I have tried almost all of their poke options with all the toppings. I highly recommend their tofu pockets for a variation of a few different kinds in one visit. I do wish they had more on hand throughout their day and continued making poke until later. However, every time I visit the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I'm not the biggest poke fan (had it a few times before in other places), but everything here was so good. I got rice with 2 scoops (miso salmon + volcano tuna I think), both were sooooo good.

East End Market is always a fun time, and it's great to see them here! read more

Came here on the weekend right when they opened at 11:30am, and there were already about 5 people in line! The line moved quickly, but it definitely didn't slow down after we arrived. The service was super friendly and helpful too. Their booth is inside East End market! We both went with the 1 Poke over Rice option ($16) and added the Krab Salad ($2). The options all looked amazing, making it hard to choose, but I went with the Hawaiian ahi tuna and it was AMAZING! So fresh, so flavorful - I understand the hype now. The poke was perfection, and the krab salad added a nice touch. This place definitely lives up to its reputation. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and quick service. I'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend if you're craving poke or just want to try something fresh and delicious. read more
