    Build Your Own Bowl 3 Proteins (before mixing)
    Tiffany T.

    Food: good and fresh Service: great! Ambiance: spacious, clean, and good seating I created my own bowl with brown rice and 3 proteins: Lao style salmon, spicy salmon, and shoyu tuna. I really liked the freshness and flavors of the fish. I thought the Lao style salmon was unique and would get it again. What's also nice about big island poke is that they don't limit you on the toppings, so it's really worth the price.

    I've been to the one on Snelling Ave in St. Paul and this one is just as good! Nice, clean and yummy! I had the Big Island Bowl, my boyfriend had the Volcano, which he found to be a little too spicy for him. My Big Island Bowl was perfect, refreshing, and tasty! A really nice portion - almost couldn't finish the whole bowl in one sitting! We were there on a Thursday evening for dinner and it got busy. I also had the Ube Boba tea, which I loved! I should have ordered 2 because I was protecting mine from my boyfriend since he thought it was delicious as well!!

    I was so excited to visit this new location! Very clean and bright inside! The staff are ready to help right away and are very friendly! I had never tried spam musubi and I highly recommend 5/5! Also some at a great price point! The food is so fresh and delicious! Very satisfying!

    My new absolute favorite poke spot!! I had heard raving reviews of Big Island Poke already and it lived up to the hype!! Everything tasted super fresh, the flavor was amazing, and portions were large. We got takeout and really loved the tuna. I'm glad I got the spam masubi to try as well, it was great! Will 100% be coming back.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday! Love that you can build your own bowl or the do have some specialty ones you can get from the menu. I usually get a white rice base, chicken for protein and whatever mix-ins i'm feeling, I usually go for everything spicy. The veggies were super fresh. Quick and easy ordering process. They have some boba tea options at this location, will definitely have to check those out sometime. Smaller space but some tables to dine in. Staff were nice and attentive.

    I've tried a lot of poke and nothing beats Big Island. Their fish tases clean and fresh, the marinate on the proteins don't over power the other ingredients where you can fully immerse the fusion of flavors. Clean environments and stations, with endless of options to choose from! Shoyu had a great linger spice to it so be aware!!!

    In town for work, swung by for a lunch while in the area and honestly I would have to say got the best Poke bowl I have ever had to date. Tasted fresh, place was very clean & inviting, the staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations when asked. Highly recommend!

    Quickly becoming a favorite for lunch. Lots of great options. I usually build my own bowl, but there are pre-built options as well. The ingredients seem fresh and there are lots to choose from! The Lao salmon is incredible! The woman who has helped me the last few times has been an absolute angel. Prices are a bit steep, but the portions are arguably generous. I've ordered to go mostly because the space is a lil too white and sterile for me.

    Spicy Shrimp Bowl

    The spicy shrimp bowl was AMAZING! Loved that you could make your own custom bowl as well. Customer service was quick and helpful! Everything looked extremely clean. Will definitely be going back! :)

    Create your own - spicy tuna, and ahi tuna

It gives the space…read moresome personality while also making it feel connected to the community, its a place where regulars and visitors alike can leave a small mark. The staff was friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of fruity drinks and teas to choose from, with enough variety for just about any mood. Food-wise, the off-menu bowls were tasty, but I went with the build-your-own option. There's a deep lineup of ingredients, so it is easy to put together something that fits exactly what you want.

    Will definitely be going back to Pa Tea & Poke! They have specials on different days of the week!…read more(look at the photo of the chalk board or their website) I am big fan of Thai milk tea, and this did not disappoint. Note, I usually get it "less sweet" from Sencha, and I really like that at Pa, you can specify the actual percentage of sugar. I ordered mine at 25% and thought it was perfect (a little sweeter than a normal latte, if you are trying to gauge what percentage to order). We got the salmon lover bowl and the , as well as the squid salad. The bowls were good, but I am definitely glad I added double fish, because there was a lot of rice and other things and I wanted more fish. I also will probably ask for more spicy mayo next time, because it was a little bland. However, there was definitely enough food, I didn't need more to eat, and I really liked the mix-ins. The texture of the squid salad was great, and I would recommend giving it a try, I just didn't care for the sauce (no reason, just wasn't to my taste). This is a casual dining place. There are a few tables, but it's not a big space. The service was good, and everything made it into our takeout order.

PROs: ++ I love that you write your order on a piece of paper. This really helps to ensure you get what you want for your dish. They have separate sheets for what you're ordering - rice bowl, poke bowl, etc... ++ My bowl was assembled FAST and everything tasted delicious! The crab salad and seaweed salad were some of the best I've had. ++ Spam Musubi. Oh yes! They have it and it is delicious. I was so excited to find that a single order contained two pieces. Yum! If you haven't tried it - you must! ++ They are offering online ordering and delivery through their website. CONs: -- The only drawback I experienced was that they are still not allowing indoor dinning. Kind of a bummer since everywhere else I had gone during my visit was back open in full-force. I did find some benches a little ways up the block to sit and enjoy my meal. I make my way to Minnesota annually for my besties birthday, and I will gladly make my way back to The Cove to get my poke fix! **Pro Tip: They also offer sushiritos, banh mi, a variety of different bowls, and more!

I think the quality is solid and the portion sizes are generous! The missing star is to account for the inconsistency. Sometimes a level 2 spice level is perfect and sometimes it's wayyyy to much. Sometimes they add lots of fish, sometimes just a few pieces. I think it just depends on who is working that day. I think they could improve on staff training to improve consistency. Despite this, I find myself coming back to this delicious spot for a quick and filling lunch! It's definitely worth going and trying out! I also think the fusion theme is awesome - they have sushiritos, banh mi, rice bowls, steam buns, sambusas, burgers, etc! It's a pretty impressive variety.
