Located in the cross light between Smokey Hill and Buckley, Wanna Poke is a small but great spot for anyone who wants hearty meals with big flavors for awesome price! Came in during slow hours and was greeted right away by a nice lady, she was great and made sure to ask me how i preferred each dish when it comes to sauce/spice level/protein choice and even let me sampled their sauces all of which was great! After ordering and paying at the counter, I filled my fountain drink cup and sat down in the couple tables that they had, wait time was not bad at all and they even waited to make my poke bowl to go AFTER I finished my dine in meal which was great and I really did appreciate that! 5/5 I had siomai appetizer which was really good and the suace that came with it really complimented well! It was delicious and easy to eat that I had to fight myself from ordering a second order hehe. 5/5 The tonkatsu ramen was so delicious and the broth was so tasy, I picked spicy and the spice flavor was just right. All the ingredients complimented well and I finished the whole bowl, looks like the previous customers who came in also loved their ramen so it must be very popular! 3.5/5 I also ordered their salmon bowl to go which was decent, nothing too fancy, I think we didnt read the ingredients that well so next time we will customized it so we can enjoy it better but not bad at all. We will definetely come back for more if were ever around the area. Wanna Poke was a great spot with hearty ramen and serviced by friendly, helpful, and considerate staff! read more

First time here. The clean restaurant wasn't busy on Thursday evening so we ordered from the menus on the walls and it was fairly quick coming out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chinese pop music plays over the speakers and it's decorated with Asian artwork, a money plant and a really cool fish tank with various goldfish swimming around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The analog clock on the wall was kinda art deco and it was accurately displaying the time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll say that their spicy Tonkatsu soup base is wonderful and the noodles perfectly cooked and tasty. I'm not a fan of corn or spinach in the soup as those seem to be cheap fillers. The half eggs in our soups were hard boiled and not the normal medium-soft egg with the tasty rich yolk. :( They don't put any straw mushrooms in their soup and the shrimp I got were overcooked and not the tastiest. Hubby got the pork in his tonkatsu and it was incredible. Our fried wontons were great and the seaweed salad very good. So some things were great, others were not. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I LOVED the darling plates with cute sayings and might come back to sample the poke dishes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Loved this poke spot! Legitimately one of the best poke spots I've tried. My partner and I both built our own bowls and they have so many fresh options to pack your bowl with. There was an older woman taking our order and she was so sweet, she even let us try the sauces before we added them to our bowl. The miso soup that came complimentary had tofu and they were so soft and delicious. After we were almost done with our food, we were given some kisses by the same lady. And who doesn't love kisses hehe ( the hersheys chocolate ). Overall such a tasty and pleasant visit. read more

Wanna Poke always hits the spot. They are open every day from 11-9pm, except on Tuesdays (when they are closed). Their bowls are plentiful and come with lots of fresh ingredients. They have many signature bowls as well as build-your-own options, which is my go-to. Each bowl comes with two generous scoops of protein and miso soup. Service is quick and counter-style, where you select your ingredients as they make your bowl. You may eat at the restaurant, but I usually get mine to go since I usually pick up my food when I am doing errands in the area. read more

Came here for the unagi and it was delicious! The lady was super helpful and let me try something new before buying. (From 2024, forgot to post) read more

Add this to your list! Wanna poke is an awesome poke place, but what is special about coming here versus other poke locations is it is a local small business and they serve other food besides just poke. For instance my husband got their spicy beef bowl and loved it. They've got ramen, boba, appetizers like gyoza, and wontons and more! When I come I usually do the create your own poke bowl. They've got tons of options for toppings and the ingredients are fresh. The staff here are friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Usually it is quiet inside, the place is clean, and they've got fast service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Passing by this strip mall you would never think there was a stellar poke place but hey-o, Wanna Poke coming in hot! I've only ordered through the app and both times have been fantastic experiences. You can order before they open, they include a side of miso soup and they hook it up! The portions are huge and they have a number of add ins so the possibilities are endless! Spicy tuna is my new favorite of mine and the spicy crab salad is terrific as well. I tend to like building my own bowl vs ordering from the set ones off the menu but to each their own! I can't vouch for their ramen but if you're looking for poke in Aurora, this is your spot! read more

I wasn't sure if I should write an updated review for Wanna Poke since it hasn't changed. But I do want Yelpers to know... it still is THE BEST! I've had poke all around this area of Aurora and Wanna Poke not only offers the best price and toppings... each bowl also comes with a miso soup!! Happiness... I genuinely will crave it and go out of my way to get it. Choose exactly which proteins and toppings you want by building your own bowl!! There's no extra charge for avocado (the way they do at some poke spots, especially in CA) and the creamy sesame sauce brings it all home!! Definitely try it out! It's never very busy or has a long line... I'm always in and out! read more

Wanna Poke - The best poke around! - Poke Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

Finally got to try Wanna Poke after no longer being pregnant and being back to work. I'm definitely trying to make up for lost time when it comes to sushi/poke! Wanna Poke had some great suggested bowl options as well as build your own (which is what I did). The service was quick and friendly, all the ingredients felt fresh, and there was a lot of ingredients to choose from. My only real knock is it didn't feel like I got much of any of the ingredients other than rice... everything else I could have used a bit more of! read more

Amazing food and super friendly staff. The spicy miso ramen was delicious with healthy ingredients and was perfectly spaced with good fish cake and eggs. Will definitely come back! read more

Wanna Poke is definitely the place to get delicious poke bowls in the area! The fish tasted so fresh, and the staff is so friendly! With every poke bowl, it comes with a piping hot miso soup. They have a wide range of sides/toppings such as crab salad, seaweed salad, edamame, tempura to just name a few. Prices are very reasonable, and if you are not feeling poke, they also offered ramen!! read more

Amazing food, Amazing service and wonderful employees. The lady working today treated my daughter like family and we very much enjoyed our food. The portions are MASSIVE and incredible quality read more

A fast, casual, healthy, Japanese Poke & Ramen place, where ingredients are displayed for your choosing! Nick and I were originally expecting a busy establishment with plenty of seating available and a rush! Upon arriving, there was a total of 5 dine in tables, but it was like super empty! Only one other patron and his partner where there! We had been greeted by friendly smiles! The young lady (name Casey?) was very patient with my questions about building my very own poke bowl! I was happy that all bowls comes with Miso Soup; Come with 2 Scoops of Protein; *+$2.00 Extra Scoop of Protein; Pick Your Base + Pick Your Mix Ins + Pick Your Sauce + Pick Your Toppings (Up to 6, $0.50 Each Extra) + Pick Your Sprinkles! I was still unsure of what to choose, because all the toppings were displayed in front of me. The young lady recommended the Spicy Combo Bowl: the bowl included Tuna, Spicy Salmon, Tofu, Green Onion. They were delicious! There was zesty Seaweed, Fish Egg, Spicy Crab Salad, Egg. Cucumber, Carrot, Jalapenos, Pickled Ginger. Mango, Choice of Sauce. Chili Powder, Poke Seasoning and Fish Flakes. The mango was delicious and complimented the crab and seaweed salad soooo well! It was my favorite. Nick received the Rainbow Bowl! I almost wanted to change my order to this one! This bowl was indeed colorful! The bowl included Tuna, Salmon, Tofu, Green Onion, Seæweed. Fish Egg, Crab Salad, Egg, Cucumber, Carrot. Edamame. Tomato. Choice of Sauce, Poke Seasoning, Fish Flakes, Dry Seaweed Both our bowls were $12.35 each! read more

My absolute favorite and go to ramen spot. The ladies that usually run the store are fantastic and so so sweet. I get the tonkatsu ramen extra spicy with extra pork every time and every time it's like the first time I ate it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute smaller restaurant but very clean and intimate inside:)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

11/4/23-Good food for a good price. Like the miso soup was included and that is one of the main things I use to judge the value quality of a poke place. The lady was super helpful, made suggestions and let us try different sauces. I highly recommend the creamy sesame one. read more

We found this place during Covid. We would order ahead and pick-up. They have been accurate with their orders and the ramen is really great!! They have a crab salad that I love. I get it every time we place an order. The price is right too. Good portion size. We order about once every two weeks. read more

Super friendly people that run Wanna Poke. However the taste just isn't there. The spicy mayo is spicy but otherwise feels like it came out of a bottle from the store. To their credit the fish is super fresh and so are all the other add-ons you can throw in the bowl. You get a generous portion for the medium bowl but it's just not filling. Maybe make a bowl here and leave the sauces out until you get home to add something you like? I don't know. So many poke places and unfortunately this is one I would not recommend it. read more

Great poke place. I got the build your own poke bowl and unagi bowl. Both were delicious and fresh. The sauce was good. For build your own bowl, I got ponzu, spicy mayo, and spicy sesame sauce. Price was reasonable too (about $13-$14/bowl). This will be my to go poke place whenever I'm in the area. read more

I've been here on multiple occasions since now. Pretty good poke place. Service: They will usually get your food out in less than 10 minutes. Hot or cold. Good service nonetheless. Food: It's good for what it is. Experiment with combos and you might end up with something extraordinary. Stuff is fresh and the ramen is absolutely filling. My favorite poke bowl would be the spicy tuna. Price: It's worth the price considering the food's fresh and delicious. Kind of neat that poke bowls come with some miso too. Warms you up. Cleanliness: No problems I've seen. Vibe/Charm: It feels pretty generic to be here. There's the basic indoor furnishings of a restaurant but there could be more. Overall, it's a good place to get food. read more

Salmon poke bowl was delish/very flavorful and customer service was great. I would highly recommend read more

This is definitely one of my favorite ramen places I've experienced in Denver. I'm also insanely glad to see how heavily chicken broth is used for their options, rather than everything having pork like some other establishment I checked out around here. I got the creamy ramen with chicken, my wife got the spicy creamy ramen with beef. They came out at a pretty good time and man, just from the first bite to the last, it was fulfilling. The broth was on point, the meat was delicious. I tasted some of the beef and enjoyed that more than the chicken but they were both good. I'll probably do beef and a different type of ramen broth next time The presentation of the bowls were great, and the speed of service and friendly staff was great. This is definitely going to be a regular ramen spot for me. read more

I love this place! The poke is so good! The service is always very fast even for a walk in, they also have yummy drinks!

Good place for a health alternative meal, generous portions, staff is nice BUT they don't read or pay attention to instructions for online orders. I placed an online order and specifically said "no seaweed salad" and replace with another option and they failed to do this. It was on the receipt and on the order when I watched the lady prepare my order and they totally missed this. read more

Wanna poke is kind of an adorable family-owned poke shop that sells quite a bit more. Ramen is on the menu and so are some delicious sounding appetizers (crab and cheese wontons, gyoza) they sell boba too. Basically a little one-stop Asian shop. I dig it - something a little different from the other poke spots in town. The boyfriend and I decided to try them out one Friday night. Service was really friendly and warm and the food itself was pretty good. I made my own bowl, as per usual, and chose tuna and salmon for my proteins. Their fish was fresh and they had a decent amount of toppings plus a great deal of sauce options to mix and match. It may just have been my choice of sauce combo, but it wasn't my favorite tasting poke bowl ever. I did appreciate the option of topping your bowl with an Asian style hard-boiled eggs which I've never seen before, so you know I had to get in on this. This shop is a great option for poke without having to go into the city, and I definitely want to come back in to try their ramen. read more

My absolute favorite place to eat! I always have a weird order and they are always kind enough to help every time. I can't count the amount of times I've eaten here. Food is delicious, place is clean, and service is impeccable. Highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for fresh, delicious sushi and/or ramen with quality service...U Must visit Wanna Poke!!! They're closed on Tuesday so enjoy any other day of the week. #8 Rainbow is my favorite. I always add scallops, steamed rice, and mix 3 special sauces, spicy mayo, spicy shoyo, and sesame (teriyaki) and Miso soup. Yum yum to the tum tum. read more

Ok, so this was day one, literally. The fryer seemed to be giving them some trouble, and the tv menus were not operational, but the food was pretty good. I got a salad based poke bowl with salmon, spicy mayo, and some spicy tuna with all the fixins'. It was very decent. My companion got the unagi, and she thought it could have been cooked longer. All in all, we will wait a bit, and go back. I'm still excited to see this place in full swing. read more
