Didn't really have any expectations for this place. Surprisingly, they had a good number of seafood options, which I'm always thankful for. Their shrimp tacos were okay. They were more on the salty side. Rice and salad were standard. They had some drinks that they offer which were not on the menu so just ask if you're curious. There's parking right outside, seating indoors and outdoors, they can split the check, but I think that service could have been better because it was a bit dodgy at times. For example, they forgot to bring something my friend ordered that they asked for 10 minutes ago or so.

The meatloaf I ordered was a huge piece! Terrific small-town ambiance. Beer was cold. The bartender/owner was friendly and talkative.

Everything was delicious. I highly recommend asking for hot sauce. They make them both in-house, and they are exquisite. (The verde is great, but if you are a hot sauce enthusiast, you will really appreciate the other one.) If you live near Tuscola or if you happen to be passing through on I-57, you should stop by and enjoy this gem.

We had no prior reservations and the restaurant wasn't crowded when we arrived, we were seated immediately for a party of four. The sweetest lady took great care of us. She was actually able to remember all of our orders without writing anything down and I found that to be quite impressive. I ordered the Korean corn dog and the takoyaki balls. Both were pretty good! For my entree i personally ordered the beef bulgogi. Which was phenomenal, very delicious! It was fun to cook our own food to our liking and after each protein is cooked you get a fresh plate to cook a new dish. I think this is a great Korean bbq joint. They certainly made my first experience pleasurable. Personable employees and attentive service, I definitely would recommend!

This was our second time coming to The Poke Place, and it has been great both times. The food is…read morealways very fresh, there are a lot of good options, and the service has been excellent. Everyone has been really friendly and helpful when ordering. We've tried both the Huli Huli Hawaiian Chicken Lunch Plate and custom poke bowls, and everything we've had has been really good. The ingredients taste fresh, and portions felt fair for the price. For three of us to eat lunch, it was around $40, which felt reasonable. Seating is limited to about 6-8 counter seats, so it's definitely more of a quick stop than a sit-down restaurant. The only downside is the location--it's a little tucked away and not the easiest place to get to. Overall though, I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for fresh poke or Hawaiian-style lunch plates.
