Favorite spot for quick and healthy lunch!

I am so glad I gave this place another shot! My bowl was double the size it was the first time, making it totally worth the money. What on earth was the person doing the first time around I wonder! read more

drove 35 min to get here since my friend liked it but it was a complete disappointment. The iced green tea was so watery, you're better off drinking free water. I ordered 2 large bowls with 3 scoops each. I tried the tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, albacore, and the yellowtail. having all the fish and toppings on top of the rice, I couldn't get the harmony of flavors I would get from eating real sushi. The seaweed salad tasted horrible too........ never coming back read more

This place is delicious!! If I lived closer to this place I would eat here 24/7. Can't wait to go back!

This restaurant is so delicious!! If you love great customer service and wonderful flavors come here! If you want something priced so cheap for a taste so wonderful! read more

Was sooooooo excited when I heard they were finally opening a poke place in Arizona! First tried it a few months back in Cali where it's super popular now. Finally had the chance to try it w/ the hubby. He ordered he regular bowl. I ordered be half salad half white rice. It's set up like a chipotle, you choose your rice/salad, then your meat, your sauce, and finally your toppings. I ordered a green tea and he ordered the Thai tea. When we sat down to eat it.... We weren't impressed just by how it looked.. But sometimes looks are deceiving... So we started to dig in to see how it was.. Still... Not impressed ... The meat tasted fresh.. But the sauce lacked flavor.... We had to add soy sauce to make it taste a little better .... Onto the drinks. The Thai tea tasted watered down .... As did my iced green tea .... Which was not green... More of a muddy water color which was very unappetizing .... All in all ... We felt cheated .. Overpriced and not satisfying. ... Not sure if I'll be back again ... Not the same experience I had in Cali read more

Ahipoki - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

One word: AMAZING! I think I visit this restaurant about 2-3 times A WEEK. That's how much I love it. If you like sushi, then you will definitely like this place. It's basically a deconstructed sushi roll, in bowl form (similar to a chipotle choosing style.) I have tried all of the fish options and haven't found a single one that I don't like. You can mix it up or even order the same for all the scoops, either way the food is delicious. The team members that work here are also awesome. If I ask for extra of anything, they don't hesitate with the toppings. For example, I love edamame beans so when I want two (or more) giant handfuls, they are happy to do it. We've since moved, and this is one place I will truly miss. Can't wait to get back to Phoenix because this will for sure be a top spot. read more

This place is a gem. Fish tastes fresh, great options for the bowl, super fast. I also got some macaroon ice cream.

By far my favorite place to eat for lunch or dinner. If you haven't been here you are missing out on the yummy poke bowls! The staff are super friendly and helpful, it is always slammed but they are fast to get you through the line and get in and out quickly during lunch hour. Recommend getting the tuna luau with house spicey and spicey creamy mixed together. And get the crab salad! If you have a sweet tooth grab one of the macaroon ice cream sandwiches out of the freezer they are delicious!! read more

Haven't been to ahi poki in months. Not since the summer; when I walked in, I could tell the A/C was down. Workers sweating and uncomfortable. It was one of our AZ extreme heat days. All I could think was, they are serving raw fish, in an atmosphere that is way too hot to even think about eating in; not to mention the potential quality of the fish, sitting in the heated environment. ! I left. Decided to try again today. The portions of your fish have declined dramatically. The scoop used to portion the crab, ridiculously small. It's a total of 2 small bites. The fish was buried underneath the mounds and mounds of greens, and rice, possibly, so the customer can't tell that and you're getting much less quantity for the same or more, price. Also, hardly any sauce?? WTH. ..$1.50 extra is exorbitant for moextra avocado as well as .75 more for extra crab. Everything is extra, much smaller portions on the fish, which is the MAIN portion of the Dish! Ahi....means...tuna...Fish. Disappointed this restaurant is blatantly making cut backs, with less quality. Customers will realize they are paying more...for Less. And business will drop, as it appears to have. Not a way to compete. .. read more

Pump it up with some healthy protein! It's a bit like unstructured sushi...same components just in a bowl. Service was awesome! Fast and super fresh! It was busy so I knew things are turning over. I say to check it out! read more

Love this place I share with people about it all the time. The chipotle of sushi is how I explain it. Always busy but very efficient in making the line move quickly. Very fresh sushi and ingredients not to mention very filling with great portions. Hands down if I lived closer I would be here a few times a week. We need more in the Phoenix area. read more

The food is okay. Well, at least edible. My rice was crunchy, but how do you cook rice anyway right? Most memorable was my green tea. I have no concrete evidence that this was actually dishwater in a cup...but if pressed that would be my supposition. As an aside, the employees don't literally spit or curse at the customers, but it sure seems as if they'd like to. read more

OMG this literally has been the best place I've eaten since been here in AZ. IM SOOOOOO upset there isn't one on the East Coast. It is soooo fresh and I love the spicy house sauce. These bowls literally give you like 10 flavors at once. I didn't even eat the whole bowl at the place I rushed home so my boyfriend could try it that's how good it was. And surprisingly he LOVED IT too and he's not a raw fish kind of guy. Him and his friend actually walked in before but was turned away bc of the raw food but now he says he's definitely coming back. It's like a big bowl of fresh sushi but 10x better! A definite must try!! read more

OMG AHIPOKI BOWL. I wish I could eat here every meal of every day, but the boyfriend puts up with it enough as it is. For an Asian food and seafood lover who has struggled to find fresh tasting flavors in Scottsdale, this place is a godsend. I get nearly everything in my tuna and kimchi shrimp bowl, and it's good down to the last bite. I also really enjoy the Thai iced tea- definitely a refreshing beverage to wash down the seaweedy-fish goodness you're sure to love! read more

Go to place when I'm craving something healthier and fresh after a long day from work. Staff is awesome and pleasant every time.

Aright I must say..... I'm from California and have very high standards for my poke bowls. I must swallow my poke snobbish outlook that all seafood eaten not by the ocean is bad. They've done it at AhiPoki Bowl. It's fresh, the tuna is PINK (which is how it should be!!), and the topping options are just what people look for in a poke bowl. The Tuna Luna and the plain Tuna mix well together in the bowl, but I can't wait to try the other fish options they offer! They ONLY thing I have to complain about is that when I asked for a poke bowl I didn't know there was a small and a large options and the employee didn't enlighten me on that option and just gave me a small. The small is perfect for a light lunch but I was feelin a pretty hefty dinner at the moment and wish I got the option explained to me so I could chose the larger one. Safe to say I'm coming back here again, and again, and again! (WAY better than Diego Pops sad excuse for a Poke Bowl) read more

Ahipoki - 50/50 Tuna & Tuna Luna with avocado, crab meat, jicama, cucumber, and 50/50 house sauce and sweet citrus Poke Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

See all

I wish I would have thought of this idea first, brilliant!! So so good. My favorite play is 75% lettuce, 25% rice, 1 scoop salmon, 2 scoops marinated ahi, house sauce (with a side of house sauce), edamame, cucumber, seaweed, and 2 scoops of crispy onions. My mouth is watering just writing the review! read more

I am originally from California and have been waiting for a poke place to open in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area so once I heard of this place opening I HAD to come try it!Overall, great quality of food, fresh fish, good portions. However, the ONLY thing I realized was that they are a little on the cheap end with a couple of their fish so it is a tiny bit on the pricey end but as long as the quality and freshness of the food is good then I'm good! I'll definitely be back read more

Came here for lunch with a co-worker. Excellent choices, fresh, and fun! Nice place, will be back

This is a place I visit every time I'm in the Phoenix area. The portions are very large for the price and the options are great. Well done Ahipoki! read more

I got HORRIBLE food poisoning here. I had the salmon tuna and shrimp bowl. I ate there for two nights in a row and got food poisoning on the second night. They do NOT keep the raw fish cold enough and let it stay out too warm. I got night chills and sweats, lightheadedness, dizziness, lots and LOTS of diarrhea, dehydration, and incredible fatigue. I will NEVER come here again!!! read more

I love this place - absolutely love it. The food is delicious - always fresh. I hope they build many more. I will say the employees have been very inconsistent since they opened, though. I've had multiple people serving my food that were less than friendly. Going to be honest if it weren't for the fact that this is the only place in town that serves food like this I would probably go elsewhere - the last time we went the guy scooping fish was so rude to the lady in front of us in line - it was so weird to witness. Maybe he was in a bad mood or maybe she just really pissed him off - either way I hope the owners can find some good solid employees and not have to worry about that - the place is great otherwise. read more

Basically sushi in a bowl!! Delicious, fresh and generally served with a smile (my first time there the guy seasoning the fish was a little crusty). If you go, make sure you fill out a card to get on their email list... you get 50% off your next order. My partner and I went back for our second visit and paid like $12.00 for our whole meal. I need more locations stat!!! read more

Probably won't be heading to this location again anytime soon, big reason, customer service. I was going regularly then stopped going, one big reason the service. However, I received a 50% off coupon for the a new location opening. So, heck, why not giving it another shot. I tried to use the coupon and asked the lady at check out if I could use it there. I thought I was pretty polite, but guess not. She ripped out of my hand with out a word and charged me full price. I get it, I worked in customer service for 10 years, but still a simple, "this isn't valid here" would have been fine. Most people probably wouldn't mind the service at a fast food place and I'm fine without over the top nicety, but maybe not so rude. read more

Absolutely love this place! So many options for a healthy seafood meal in a "Chipotle " like service style. Choose the size plate you want and then the base (rice or salad or both), type of raw fish and them the toppings! Yum! My favorite place in the valley! read more

Super tasty! I fell in love with poke when I was in Hawaii, but haven't really been able to get it here... Now I can and that's great!

What can I say? It's basically sushi in a bowl with either rice or a salad...Quick, healthy, inexpensive, and delicious! What else can you ask for? read more

I've had poke bowls in California and I was afraid these wouldn't taste as good, but I was wrong! The poke bowls here are pretty good, just a little expensive for the portion. read more

Ahipoki - My poke after I brought it home! Really yummy - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Great food, tastes fresh. Gets very busy during lunch. Easy menu to follow the tuna tasted excellent. Getting through the line is pretty fast, but sometimes the line is out the door. Restaurant is clean. I'll come here again for sure. Generally I like to spend about $10 for lunch, so this is a little more, but definately good for once per week. read more

Ahipoki - First time here, looks fresh. Let's see how it tastes... - Seafood Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

No pictures today because I couldn't wait to dig right in. I had to bring Mom for her first time and she loves it! Sorry I missed seeing Jason today, but glad to hear y'all are opening in Chandler soon! Congratulations on the expansion! I look forward to doing business with your locations very soon. My contact information is the same. God bless on your continued success. Very fresh, filling, and affordable! The staff is always bright and cheerful! #BringAhipokeBowlToTucson read more

The only reason I'm even giving ahipoke two stars is because what I think was the manager. I have never been before and the only person who has, talked about this place got sick that night, from what I'm assuming, fish sitting too long. I also don't believe everything I hear and I love fish. Today I went in super excited to try a fast pace, healthy restaurant. Its extremely hard to find anything like that in the scottsdale area. My friend walked up ordered with the manager, gave us options helped us understand what sauces goes with what fish. Let us try mini samples, seeing some fish we haven't tried raw before. Next was me, I waited for him to come back around, not a big deal the next employee came to help with the line. He looks directly at me and goes on to the next person in line like i didn't even exist... all is fine, everyone has weird days. Then the next employee, I asked if I could try a mini sample, and she looked at me like we don't do that here... ok wait? what happened to my friend getting to try... I never ever post on yelp unless it positive... I have never felt more uncomfortable in my life then when I was leaving. Checking out was even awkward, looked like she didn't even want to be there. I wasn't rude to you, I never even interrupted you when the employees were talking to each other... Why do I get the cold shoulder when I go through the line but my friend have a completely different experience. Food was great, manager was so helpful... his employees need help in the customer service department. I feel like I'm hated there and all I wanted was a salad. I have worked in restaurants since I was 16, even at the sandwich shop I worked at we made sure we continued a conversation with customers. Even when we were having a bad day... we would joke about it with customers. I now think you don't like me because I asked you simple questions...which is what I'm assuming you were trained to do. I apologize for being rude, but I'm not getting paid to write this... 15 bucks.. I could have spent at a restaurant, tipped someone who wants to see me and needs the money. read more

Easily my favorite go-to spot for a quick and healthy dinner. Everything is always fresh tastes amazing.

I love this place! We've been going since they first opened. The portions are huge, the food is fresh and the taste is phenomenal. The employees are nice and your food is prepared super fast. It's a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your delicious and healthy food. read more

It's basically a Chipotle-like poke bowl place. You can find more Ahipoki Bowl opening up which is good because it's much better than most fast food joints for your health. Don't pass up on their avocado for some added good fats. read more

I do not recommend. It's okay. The customer service was off putting. It's a line where you ask what you want, like chipotle. The woman who first served me seemed impatient, the next woman who asked my sauce seemed like she had an attitude, the next woman who served me was in training and the woman who trained her was my teller and was busy talking to other people while she swiped my card. Overall, just lack of customer service. No interaction and it seemed like I was a nuisance more than I was a customer. read more

Really weird here. Never did get to eat here because they wouldn't let me alter my meal . I ordered a special salmon plate the would have allowed me three scoops of salmon. A bit weird in itself so I asked if I may exchange a scoop of salmon for a scoop of avocado. They said no. I pointed out to them that the pictured item showed the dish containing the avocado and they told me they haven't had a chance to change the board and that an added scoop of avocado would be 1.50 extra. I tried to reason with these people and they asked other managers if they could and the manager refused also. I mean really a scoop of avocado cannot be any more expensive than a scoop of what the counter guy said was wild salmon. So then why not make the change and satisfy me. The guy said I should try to work with him and I explained that I was the customer and he should try to work with me. They wouldn't. Enough said. Never again. read more

I have been a huge fan of ahipoke since they opened the first one in Scottsdale. I would say the food is great but they need to improve their customer service at the Tempe location. read more

I Love their food! The biggest one I have been in so far. The service is always on point and Kila and CT are always greeting me as I come in. They make it a great experience read more

Yum! I'm not usually a fan of add-your-own-topping style places, especially when there aren't any chef-designed and defined options available. I like to think someone with more culinary chops than me is setting the course. BUT, whatever the hell they threw in this bowl at my suggestion turned out really good. Trust me, you can't mess this up. You order how many scoops of protein you want, choose your base (rice/etc) and then add fresh toppings of your choice. I ordered three different scoops of tuna - spicy, unfettered, and Luau -added their house spicy sauce, avocado, jalapeño, and some other fresh veggie toppings, along with some crab, and the result was out of this world. Service ranged from so-so to shoulder-shrugging f' off pleas, but efficient. Place was clean and doing brisk business. Definitely will be back when I'm back in town. read more
