Came for the second time today. The fish was fine. The brown rice was cooked properly. The things to add to the bowl was limited to some of the other places I've been to. For the price point, I think I can find something better. read more

Ambiance feels like home, but if home was a warm town tucked away somewhere by the sea. Food was clean and I was given a free sample of a dessert First time vibes went well, thanks for the service Chris. read more

Straight flame. Service and ambiance was great, food was amaze balls. Pleasantly surprised that the spicy tuna was actually spicy. This bowl had all the right condiments, ingredients, and was packed full of flavor. Definitely delicious and would order again, straight flame five stars done the right way, woot woot. read more

Excellent Poke made to order. All options offered and most are included. The service was fantastic, even carried the poke bowls to our table and at the end offered a small taste of the pineapple mango sorbet. Really top notch. I only wish it was close to my home. read more

Island Fin Poke - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Very helpful, lots of choices We just discovered there is a new Poke Bowl place close to home, and we stopped in this evening. Poke Bowls is new concept to me, a Hawaiian dish that you have constructed similar to a burrito assembly line. Our visit to Island Fin Poke was not as impersonal as that sounded, in fact we had someone patiently helping us through the entire process, explaining everything, letting us sample stuff, providing suggestions. There are a lot of choices, but it doesn't need to be intimidating. I built a great bowl. I'm going back soon. And just to make your visit even better, they have Dole Whip. If you have had one before you know what I mean. A Dole Whip is a soft serve non-dairy frozen dessert. Island Fin Poke offers two flavors, pineapple and vanilla. I didn't know you can find these outside of Disney, and here is a place in my zip code. What a great day of discovery. read more

You get to pick toppings but the girl put a teaspoon of each topping if that. Staff clueless, food grossly overpriced, rice had no seasoning. Its a total ripoff for $15 for the small rice bowl. read more

Love this place! Such a hidden gem. When I found that there was a poke place I had to check it out. The place is wide open and there are plenty of seatings available inside. You get plenty of options for toppings. I got ahi tuna, spicy tuna and salmon for protein and whole bunch of toppings. Sauce was flavorful and each ingredients were so flavorful. If you have questions, they explain to you well. Definitely will come back for more poke. read more

Island Fin Poke - Build Your Own Bowl (3 Scoops of Protein) - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

VERY EXPENSIVE! Got one bowl and it was 17 dollars after tax!!! That is insane! The fish didn't taste fresh. Honestly the bowl didn't have much flavor. It's cool you can pick toppings but to make the masago an additional charge when the bowl is already super expensive is ridiculous. I like pacific counter in LWR better. Unfortunately I don't think I will be back. read more

Island Fin Poke - Poke bar. - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Ok, mundane, service from young guy - Hawaiian cuisine. My first time here. I don't know what to order. What mixes well with what. What I order was bland and not appetizing at all. It lacked flavor. The only decent flavor I got was the pineapple. I got a couple of sauces as side order. It was a take out order. I had to spruce up my dish in a frying pan with soy sauce. In the future I need to be prepared and I know what dishes to order instead of playing this guessing game and butchering the food. I wish to give this another chance and hope I get the wonderful customer service the reviews speak of and good selection dish. We'll see. read more

I was in the mood for a Poke bowl this evening and decided to try this place. I was very impressed. I ordered a "build your own" bowl and loved that they had a seaweed base as an Option, though there was a slight up charge for this. I preferred it to the standard rice or other carbs options. I was able to pick three proteins and went for salmon, spicy tuna and octopus. This all tasted very fresh. Lots of toppings available from mango, pineapple, pickled vegetables, and lots more. They have a large selection of sauces, and I went for the citrus soy which paired really well with the fish. I found the bowl to be fresh, flavorful and a healthy choice. It was also filling for a dinner time meal option. read more

Island Fin Poke - Build Your Own Bowl (3 Scoops of Protein) - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

A fast casual restaurant with great food, great atmosphere, and great service. We attended the pre-Grand Opening and they gave away free poke bowls. While it was buzzing with people, the place managed to service everyone in an expeditious manner. They served samples of Dole Whip while we waited in line. Amazing! Highly recommend if you want a sweet treat afterwards. Now on to the hero of the restaurant, the poke bowl. They have pre-built bowls for those intimidated by all the choices. For the more adventurous, I'd recommend building your own bowl. Now, there are so many delicious toppings that it's hard not to have a massive bowl. Oops!They don't limited the toppings (except "premium toppings" extra) so you can try a little bit of everything. All the ingredients were so fresh and full of flavor. The owner mentioned that their sauces are made in house which is a special touch. No matter what you put in your bowl, it's going to be good! read more

One of my favorites! Price isn't cheap but food is high quality and delicious. Their staff is knowledgable about their product and happy to explain different options like sauces. Get the dole whip! read more

This place is pretty good. The girl that works here is very quick to rush us and did not give us the time of day. If you're going to charge $18 for 1 Poké bowl we should at least be treated well. read more

Tried this place out while visiting the Sarasota area recently. I'm a big fan of poke bowls and since my mom had never tried a poke bowl before and she looooooves sushi we decided to try it out. It was a typical build your own bowl place. White or brown rice or greens as your base. Pick your meat or tofu, toppings, sauces and crunchy sprinkled things on top for texture. It was pretty standard poke and I enjoyed it. The raw fish tasted good and fresh. They also make their own soy sauces and marinades, so make sure you try those. The thing they did a little differently was put the meat and corn/onions/edamame in a separate bowl so they could pour the marinade on and mix it up really well before adding it to the poke bowl. I really liked that and hadn't had that at other places. They also have a rewards program and on certain days give a free or discounted upcharge topping like guacamole- yum! They also have those specialty Stubborn sodas from the fountain that I love trying. Will visit again. read more

Decent poke bowl think the fish is frozen. Good selection of items to add to your bowl 3 proteins $14 not bad yet high if the fish is frozen and the pieces are pretty small. read more

The food and the hospitality is incredible. We happened to come here on "Topping Tuesday" where we received a free premium topping. I chose the crab which was delicious! Unlike chipotle, you get unlimited of the toppings you choose. Such an incredible and generous place to eat. Especially now a days. We decided to enjoy our meal in house. Great seating and they gave us free samples. I hope they open another location closer to Siesta Key soon! read more

Island Fin Poke - Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl* - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Unfortunately this was probably the worst poke I've ever had out of hundreds of places globally. I am partially to blame because I ordered online after driving 2 hrs. Had I ordered in person perhaps a better experience. I didn't see spicy mayo that every other Poke restaurant offers. In lieu I chose house sauce, and avocado and wasabi cream. I was expecting something more like a purée or aioli. It was a white cream infused with the flavor. Absolutely awful and ruined the dish. The tuna was dark in color and didn't taste good either. All in all huge fail. I threw 3/4 of it out. The price point for "3 scoops" was cheaper than usually so that should've been an indicator. Staff was friendly so that gets a star. Can't cut corners if you want to be successful in the poke game. read more

I went here for the first time ever today and I have been wanting to try it. I have to say the staff was super friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in. The man asked if I have ever been before and explained everything to me, I loved that bc I wasn't sure what exactly everything was. So I ended up doing a brown rice base and double salmon and ahi tuna for the protein and a bunch of yummy fixings and sauces. I paid like $15 but it's a huge bowl you could even share it it's so big. This place was super clean as well!! Hope this helps and enjoy. read more

Such a great spot for fresh, clean, and good food! Unlike some apple bowl spots, they have some really unique offerings that they custom make, like their Togarashi Sauce, Pickled Veggies, Mango Salsa, and even seasonal fish offerings like Cobia! The staff is super friendly and takes time to explain all the offerings. This is a frequent lunch spot for me, and it never disappoints! read more

We have been to Island Fin Poke in Sarasota twice now and both times the food was fresh, the people working were very helpful and it was very clean. We live about an hour from Sarasota but it is one of our new favs when we come to town for other appointments and shopping! read more

Great local new spot to enjoy some fresh and healthy eats! Ordering-I ordered Togo online; it was so incredibly easy and convenient. I even paid online and set the pick up time. Food-My tofu and seaweed salad bowl was delicious and filled with veggies. It was so fresh and flavorful! Restaurant-The restaurant was small, cute, and casual. It appeared clean and organized. Staff-the staff made sure the pick up was quick and easy. I'd definitely go back for a quick healthy bowl again. Suggestion: I'd recommend adding cauliflower rice as a base for those of us that are trying to limit rice. read more

Island Fin Poke - Poke Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Food. But a simple#1 bowl or #2 bowl. Too many questions. Almost left on my 10th choice

First off, very friendly staff only one person working and he was very kind and explained everything however, the food was not at all up to a true poke standard. I was expecting a white-washed place when I came and got exactly that. I found the decor overbearing and tacky for a place on bee ridge. onions left chopped by the fourth and tempura a pale white. Just very clearly unauthentic, they may succeed with some extra homework. read more

Very confused about the good reviews. This was hands down the worst poke I've ever had. Watery fish and tasted anything but fresh. Don't waste your time. read more

Fantastic. This place has incredible food. Go with one of the recommended bowls. So many different flavors swirling around your tastebuds. I HIGHLY recommend Island Fin. It's in a strip mall, but DON'T let that dissuade you! read more
