My beautiful wife and I came here for a late lunch on Thursday. Wow. What a great place. It was after the lunch rush so it was a fast run thru the ordering process. Similar to chipotle's ordering process. Both my wife and I had amazing bowls. Definitely go for the larger size 3 scoops of protein. Everything was fresh and so delicious. This place is going to be huge! Get here while most people don't know about it. read more

Ahipoki - Menu - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink): 1 star: Never again. 2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back. 3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad. 4 stars: Very good, would definitely return. 5 stars: A favorite, one of the best. Trying to get on board with this place but don't quite understand the rave reviews. This is like no poke that I've ever had, and not in a good way. Where the best poke relies on fresh fish marinated in its sauce with flavors typically more complex than just soy sauce (see Ono Seafood review if you want), this place misses the mark. It is poke, to some extent. But if you're calling it poke, it was one of the most underwhelming pokes I've had. It's not bad, at all. Otherwise it'd get less than three stars. The fish seems quite fresh, as do the rest of the the ingredients. It's the execution and end-product. Got a salad base, spicy tuna, yellowtail, house sauce. Maybe I'll ask to reduce the amount of sauce, or perhaps try a rice base, but it was overly salty. Way too salty. So much so, that mixing it with the yellowtail, killed the flavor of the yellowtail. The spicy tuna was pretty far from spicy. The marginal kick in it also couldn't overcome the saltiness of the house sauce. I do appreciate the toppings that include masago and seaweed salad. They definitely add value to the bowl. But mix it all up (or eating each separate component together) and I end up with a glorified salad - not a poke dish. They also serve Brick macaron ice cream sandwiches. Ordered the green tea flavor. This isn't on Ahipoki since it's not their product, but I'll have to try it again before I give it a ringing endorsement. First, let it thaw a little. It is, literally, a brick when it comes out of the freezer. The texture of the macaron was actually pretty good, had the chewiness that you would expect with a crisp outer layer. The green tea ice cream lacked green tea flavor. A lot of it. Willing to give these guys another try since I love macarons, and ice cream, and ice cream sandwiches. So this place is not bad. It is meh. For poke lovers, don't expect poke. Just expect a salad or a rice bowl with good, fresh, fish on it. read more

Right next door to a Chipotle, you can expect very similar concept of what to do, but with raw fish and sushi toppings. Love the spicy tuna and salmon the most. The sauces to me were mediocre. I think Pokinometry (in Cali) is the best for poki; however, Ahipoki Bowl will have to suffice for now here in AZ. The workers on Sunday were a bit rude when I went (the 3 boys at the station of giving rice, fish, and sauce). I'm not sure if they couldn't hear me through the tall glass separations, or just flat out didn't want to be there at work, but I didn't feel like they were helpful or concerned about the bowl they were assembling. A quick slap of rice, slaps of fish and quick squirts of sauce. There wasn't anybody behind me...so why the rush? Since I got the larger bowl, I get three choice of fish. I asked for spicy tuna, and the other two to be salmon... But the second scoop didn't even look full. I was pretty sad since I love salmon! Not to mention...they didn't toss it in the metal bowl for me. I had to do it myself with all the toppings on top. It was a challenge as there were barely any space for me to mix it myself. Overall... I felt like the workers just didn't wanna be there on a Sunday before July 4...but still... It kind of ruined my first time experience with Ahipoki. I'll be back here when I'm in town to give it another try since I love poki, but we'll see if they'll improve their customer service. read more

Ahipoki - Poki is life (you can tell that the fish aren't mixed at the bottom of everything) - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

A little fishy (no pun intended) seeing all the top 5 star reviews being elite '16. This place at best is 3 stars. I ordered a regular bowl with white rice, avocado, luau tuna, and salmon spicy cream sauce, and seaweed salad. Being my first time there I didn't really know how to order. First issue is after ordering I looked at my receipt and saw an extra dollar charge for avocado. No where in the online menu or store board does it say add a dollar for avocado and neither did the worker tell me there will be a dollar extra. I'm normally ok with paying the extra dollar as long as I'm told before. After taking the first bite into the bowl I first noticed the undercooked rice which ruined the whole bowl for me. The fish itself were fresh and decent size chunks but seeing how the rice was undercooked, I couldn't enjoy my meal. The spicy creamy sauce also had no flavor or any heat to it, to which I had to add a squirt of siracha. I'm willing to take another shot of this place as I didn't know to add all the other sides with the bowl, sich as crab meat, sprouts, etc. But as it stands it's not looking so good. read more

I think by now you all know how poke bowls work right? If you don't, you're completely missing out! Imagine fresh fish, chirashi, over rice or salad or both. Top it off with delectable, savory, treats and you got yourself a healthy low carb or carb-free meal. And I'm not sure why but Ahipoki Bowl does it better than the other places. read more

I typically don't drive out to Scottsdale for sushi, but I would for Ahipoki! The fish is fresh and they even have yellowtail (MY FAVORITE!) as an option. I ordered a salmon and yellowtail half/half bowl with brown rice and salad and they are GENEROUS with these portions! I loaded up on the crab mix, seaweed salad, dried seaweed, and avocado with the house spicy sauce. The sauce was SUPER oily and it completely drowned my salad but I feel the rice would soak it up just fine. Taste-wise, the sauce was just okay, nothing too special in my opinion, but I do want to try the other flavors. The workers looked a bit tired and wasn't really smiley but with how busy this place got, I'm not surprised. I did get a bit of an eyeroll from a worker when I asked for more seaweed salad which wasn't the coolest but whatever. Overall, a great place to get poke! PS. Extra $1 for yellowtail and $1 for avocado. If anything costs extra, it will be displayed! read more

It's like Chipotle but with sushi ingredients! Why hasn't this been done sooner?! You design your own bowl depending on what type of base you wanted such as white or brown rice etc. Then you get to choose the protein and sauce that it gets tossed in, and lastly you get to choose the toppings such as edamame or seaweed salad. I went with a half rice, half mixed greens with salmon and tuna on their house sauce. The fish and sauce were good although it was a touch too sweet for my liking. The toppings in my opinion are what puts it over the top, the crispy onions with some seaweed and green onion give it a really nice crunchy aspect that mixes it up from the soft fish and rice. Great place and concept that provides good food, quick! read more

I ordered ahi bowls to go from here. Two scoops of spicy tuna and one regular tuna. I thought the spicy was much better, more flavorful. 3 scoops was too much for me but would be perfect if you are really hungry. I didn't like the house sauce but I liked the spicy creamy sauce. It reminds me of a chipotle but for poke bowls. Love it. Quick and easy. read more

Disappointing. Stopped in here because it was nearby. We're from Southern California so we have high expectations. 1) the portions are incredibly small. 2) it's pricy for what you get. 3) it's absolutely not fresh nor is it quality fish. Service was good but I would not come back here. The salmon had a weird, metallic taste to it. Spicy Mayo sauce was flavorless and not any type of heat or kick to it. Ugh, very unsatisfactory visit. read more

Do you ever put off going to a new spot in town because you know as soon as you do the instant addiction will hit and you'll be forever thinking about Poke bowls? No? Just me? Ok. Well, that was my predicament and I held out as long as I could and then finally in late June gave in and made my first trip to Ahipoke Bowl and they are everything I imagined them to be. I've now been 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Addiction is real. You walk in and are greeted by the Chipotle-style menu board and line, your eyes widen as you realize all the choices and topping and awesomeness that awaits you. Go for the regular bowl to kick things off, but you'll quickly graduate to the large bowl for only $2 more. The difference is 2 scoops of seafood or 3 - choices like salmon, tuna, spicy tuna and scallops. I've now perfected my order of 1/3 brown rice 2/3 salad in the large bowl, with house spicy sauce on my 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of spicy tuna. Then I just go all in on the toppings - things like edamame, jicama, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, wasabi, ginger, fish eggs, krab salad and you can also add avocado for $1 more. Tried the green tea last time and wasn't too impressed, I'll just stick to water and make the bowl my main focus as it should be. Its all delicious and I want it everyday now - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, late-night. I'm starting a support group, see you guys there at 11am daily for lunch. And then again for dinner. As far as addictions go, this isn't a bad one to have, right? See you there :) read more

Ahipoki - Large bowl with tuna, salmon, and spicy salmon with Thai iced tea - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Don't tell anyone but I've never had a poke bowl before visiting this place. I had the two scoop with tuna and salmon on 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 salad. The flavors were very vibrant and the portion was just right. The next time I'll skip the wasabi as that really hit me hard and blew open my sinus cavity! They were out of regular iced tea but gave me a green tea which I wasn't really wild about as a substitute. read more

My bf wanted to get chicken teriyaki with half rice and half salad. They refused aggressively like he was wrong. My bf has ordered it like this in the past with no problems. They said that salmon teriyaki comes with rice and salad but chicken teriyaki only comes with rice. Which to me that makes zero sense. He asked if they could simply make that adjustment for the time being but they refused to. read more

I have no idea what the deal is with this store. I have been coming here since they opened. It used to be a good place where they would accommodate you with your order. Now, they won't even give me a large square plastic container instead of the bowl for my order. They seem to continue to skimp on the size of the order and how much they put in. I was there last night and asked for the square container and the woman behind the counter said they're not allowed to to do that anymore. What the hell kind of garbage is that? I want that container because it's easier to mix the food before I eat it. When I just have the bowl with the short little sides on it it goes all over the table when I try to mix it. The store on 7th ave has no issues with giving me the other container. It looks too me like greed has set in with these people. I won't be going back to this location. read more

I was hesitant to try poki, but I am happy that my first time was at Ahipoki. They have a great selection of fish which they do a great job of pairing different sauces with (Lava sauce is my favorite)!! The portions are a good size and the staff is very nice and friendly. Practically all the toppings are unlimited!! The food here is filling and I've been a regular ever since I've tried it. I've tried poki at other places, they just can't compare to ahi poki!! read more

SO GOOD!!!! Yummy, fresh, and you can order it exactly how you want it. The service was fast and friendly, the price was right, and the location was good for us (right by our hotel) It looks like they offer specials on different days (we got 30% off because we had baseball tickets to the game, other days were BOGO 50%) read more

Fresh, tasty & heathy! What else can you name a good restaurant and food? This might not be a traditional Poki Bowl, but it's very good! I had brown rice and salad half half, with tuna & salmon, dressing with the sweet citrus, and topping with everything but onion and green onion. The rice and salad combination is one of my dreaming base for dinner, but I do not find many restaurant serve like this. Dressing is a bit lack of flavor. (My husband had house spicy, and it tastes pretty much the same as mine.) Maybe try the topping selectively, because the combination over 10 types of food makes the whole dish too complicated. Very long waisting line... It took us almost 15 mins to get our food... As a fast food setting, this is too far from the 'fast'. read more

I was a little hesitant and intimidated with the set-up. I've always had poke bowls that's already pre-made. So I asked Kevin to order for the both of us and boy, did we have good choices: from the rice, to the scoops, sauces (we tried the house sauce) and unlimited toppings. I thought the server would just throw in all the ingredients into the bowl, but I was surprised at the delicate way she placed each topping pleasantly beside each other. They all looked happy together in that bowl! The place was clean and inviting. We will be regulars whenever we are in town. read more

I give this place a lot of business and the food is delicious, but I must say I'm constantly disappointed with the pathetic serving size of spring mix that you get with a salad. Whether it be a regular or large you get a tiny serving of lettuce. I only order here when I have spring mix at home that I can add to my order when I get home. The most upsetting part about it is when you go to ask for more lettuce they advise it will be an additional $3.. I could buy an entire bag of lettuce for that price. I'm baffled by this every time I visit. read more

Acceptable place for a quick fish fix! Obviously, this isn't super fresh fish, but it's definitely decent by Arizona standards. Quick and fast Chipotle-like service, but the line gets SUPER DUPER LONG during weekday lunch hours. My go-to spot for a quick lunch out with co-workers or dinner takeout on the way to the ASU Tempe campus for night classes. Their topping selection is great too--they have Masago which is my favorite! read more

Ahipoki has been my lifesaver!!! Needing to loose just a little bit of flab and turn it into fab, this place is getting me on the right track. my favorite combo is half/half, scoop of spicy tuna and salmon. I add all the extra toppings on it except for the jimaica and sprouts with a little of seasame and creamy spicy sauce. Nom nom nom. I've even gotten my sister on the poki bowl kick too and she was happy to find one by her house in Chandler. read more

Good food fast. This visit is our first. I order a rice bowl with 1 scoop of spicy tuna & 1 scoop of regular tuna; added to it are seaweed salad, & 1 scoop of imitation crab. The ingredients of my poke bowl seem fresh & taste good. My wife selects a garden salad with tuna, which she likes since it too tastes good & fresh. The service at this store is standard fast food restaurant. All dishes are served in disposal plastic bowls or boxes. Given a choice, I rather choose this type of food over burgers & fries. Whenever I am in the neighborhood, I will stop by for other fish dishes. read more

Finally a place where you can build your own poke bowl opens up in AZ. I love poke bowls!! It's located in the plaza on Thomas and Scottsdale Rd. You start by choosing your base of white & brown rice, salad mix or half and half. Then you choose your fish like tuna, yellowtail , salmon etc. you pick your sauce ( they offer 4 different sauces), then you finish off your bowl with the different toppings they have. You can either get a regular which comes with two scoops of fish or a large which comes with three scoops of fish. The staff was friendly but they seemed a little flustered and all over the place. But it's only the second day and they will get the groove of things. Also the iced green tea was disappointing because it wasn't green tea. It was jasmine tea! Overall I enjoyed the food, service was good and I will definitely be coming back! read more

First off, it's about time Phoenix opened a poki bowl joint! The build your own bowl line style is pretty similar to a lot of other poke places I've been to in California. I was not overly impressed but I would still come back to eat when the mood strikes. The bugged negative is the portion size and balance of ingredients. It seemed I got way too much rice and salad and not enough of the fish and toppings. I would have preferred each bite to have a nice balance of all toppings for the flavor profile that a poki bowl should be. This could possibly be improved by using bowls instead of huge square to go containers and training the line to better portion out toppings. The fish was decent and my "hot creamy sauce" tasted good. The staff was friendly and the interior was easy and fun. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I've had poké in Hawaii and California, and this is as close as you're going to get in Arizona. The seafood tastes fresh and clean, and I appreciate the assortment of topping options. My favorite combination is a regular size half brown rice and half salad with salmon and luau tuna. I go for all the toppings (seaweed, jicama, masago, etc), but make sure to ask for the wasabi on the side. My husband made the error of confusing a mound of wasabi for a piece of avocado (rookie mistake) and inadvertently cleared his sinuses in a quickness. LOL. They also offer a military discount, which pleases this Army wife. Hooah! As far as the fountain drinks, skip the green tea and go for the Thai iced tea. It tastes better. I wish they would sell mochi for dessert. That would be the perfect sweet ending to my meal. I live in Gilbert, and can't wait for the Chandler location to open. I'll use all the money I save on gas to buy more poké bowls! Delicious!!! read more

I ordered a 3 scoop with all of the extras on it. My three scoops according to some friend's advice: Marinated Tuna, Salmon, Octopus. All were good choices because you could noticeably taste the fish. I wish I chose something else besides octopus. Some people didn't like the spicy tuna because it wasn't very flavorful. I tasted some from my friend's plate and agreed. The cubed fish pieces are much more attractive and it feels more satisfying. I had brown rice and salad (half and half) though I think if you like white rice go for it. It probably absorbs much more of the flavor. While getting every sauce and every topping, some things get clouded into obscurity and some things shine. Here's the menu for reference. Things I've noticed: The Spicy Creamy - Very good spicy sauce that gives a great mouthfeel to the dish The House Sauce - Standard sweet soy sauce. It's pretty good. The minced crab - It's a nice texture but I would debate if it was worth the added $0.75 cents The seaweed salad (highly recommended) - Gives a unique, fresh and slimy texture found in tradititonal poke (according to my friend). The crunchy onions - Gives a great texture if you're into fried stuff on salads. The avocado - I'd say it's the equivalent of adding avocado to your Chiptole burrito. It's nice but not necessary. The Ginger (gari) - Noticeable due to the acidic and ginery taste. I love eating gari in sushi. If you don't eat gari, don't get this. Things I regret noticing: Wasabi -When you mix stuff up and take a big biute of wasabi, your head starts to hurt. I would honestly ask this on the side. Jicama - Like water chestnuts but a bit more pair like. I don't like water chestnuts because they're flavorless and ruin a dish ment to have a soft texture. Almost the same with kicama. If you like texture in your dish, get it. If not then stay away. Masago - the little roe stuff was unnoticeable in my mound of stuff. If you like it, order it. If you don't care for it, don't. Things I didn't care for: Cucumber - It's good filler at least Daikon Sprouts - It's also good filler at least Green Onion - Why not? Roasted Seaweed - apparently it's tradition but I couldn't taste it. Better with less flavors probably. The Citrus Sauce - Good but overshadowed by too much toppings. Probably best to eat alone Chili flakes - Not significant. But at least there's siracha near by. A bowl (two scoops) is about $8.00 and a box (three scoops) is $10.50. There are certain items that are extra and I would honestly only recommend the seaweed salad as the extra ($0.75). My total dish with EVERYTHING was about $13.00s so that's a good range to think about. Poke is getting popular and it's very advantageous for a place like this around Phoenix at this time. If you want something healthy and fresh and are willing to spend a little more on quality, Ahi Poke is for you. read more

Ahipoki - So yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Simple, fresh and just delicious. I really dreamed of the day i would go back to Carlsbad to get a fresh tuna poki bowl from a mom and pop shop. But I'm glad that i will now be able to just drive 30 minutes to get one (yes it is really worth the drive). The concept i awesome: a chipotle style restaurant where you pick what you want. The food is fresh. Since it was my first time i opted for the 3 scoops +1 extra scoop. My choices: tuna, salmon, spicy tuna and octopus. I love octopus but I wouldn't recommend it, it was extremely chewy. The other selections in the other hand were just so good, as if you were eating sashimi and sushi restaurant style spicy tuna. Im trying to limit my carbs so i asked for very little rice and the rest salad. Let me tell you, theres no need for rice, the salad makes you feel less guilty and you never miss the rice. I went for the spicy house sauce. And for toppings it was everything except for the crab mix(i hate Mayo). I got a green tea but would absolutely skip it,very watered down. Overall it was amazingly good. I cant wait until the next time i come back. I just hope they open one soon in the west valley. read more
