Liked the different amount of choices of poke and that you can get 2 per bowl in the BYO. Don't love that all the toppings and sauces got mixed in with the protein options prior to being added to the rice. Why marinate and have the fish in different sauces if you're going to mix it a mess up that flavor? Personal opinion there. The staff that was working when I went was less than pleasant. Acted like I was a bother even walking in the door- I was ordering 2 bowls and at each step of the process she made it a big deal that I was differentiating which bowl the add ins would go on. Maybe have a better process for multiple orders. The up charge vs what they give you for that is way off, $1 extra for the smallest amount of avocado was ridiculous. Good variety of toppings, ahi tuna and Hawaiian tuna were really good. read more

Visited Just poke at noon on a Thursday and beat the lunch time rush. They had fun toppings that I don't normally see back home like chili mandarins and turmeric daikon. You can build your own bowl or choose on of their signature bowls - no substitutions on their signature bowls though. I chose to build my own. I got a regular sized bowl and that included two protein scoops, I went with the salmon and shrimp. I also added avocado and kimchi and each were a dollar more. The amount of kimchi they added was not worth the extra money. The bowl was great and the fish was fresh. I loved the many toppings they had and I will be back. read more

Just Poké Des Moines - Regular bowl - Poke Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

I only came here since I got a last minute deal from the Too Good to Go (food app). The concept is pay $3.99 for a 'surprise' bag of food, to prevent leftovers. Shockingly, this was the worst "surprise bag" promotion offer I've paid & received. It actually takes zero effort to make a bowl of rice. Okay, maybe minimal effort to set a timer so you don't burn the rice. But at least when greeted by the friendly staff, you get a choice between white or brown rice. For those that don't have an expensive $80 rice cooker at home, this is the place to visit. A yummy plain bowl of...just rice, with no add-on's, no poké / no sushi. At least I helped prevent food waste so the dumpster raccoons wouldn't be subjected to this fine rice delicacy. I will be sure to recommend this Japanese establishment to all my friends, not really. read more

Interesting concept of poke, they let you pick your protein and mix ins, then mix the fish in it (not sure if this common but this is the first time I've seen it done). They packed my food which was nice for the price ($15.99 including $1 for Mac salad), but I wished they had told me that some sides were an additional charge.. read more

Amazing. It was so good. I got a spicy tuna bowl. I ate all of my food right away and went to bed thinking about it. Great service as well!

The decor is nice and the staff were very friendly! I've had a lot of poke in my life, but this was the first time that I found fish bones still in my poke. The salmon was cut in large pieces so I would be careful to watch for bones. Besides the bones, the food was very yummy but just slightly expensive for the portion size. read more

I absolutely love poke and often get the one in Kent, but here it's just terrible seriously, it's like mush. It completely ruins the taste of the food. I am terribly disappointed. read more

I ordered from here on door dash. The food was good and fresh. My ordered arrived on time!

Food was okay, there's not a whole lot of topping selections. The server that helped me made me feel weird about ordering greens only as a base, as if he was kind of judging me, the rest of the interaction was a bit uncomfortable and awkward because he seemed annoyed about what i was ordering. By the end of it he was nice again. read more

I love love love this place. I'm a huge seafood fan and this always hits the spot. The variety is amazing I can always choose any variety and be satisfied. The ambiance is always bright and they happened to be playing Afro beats this time around which made the whole place feel more coastal. Portions are always perfect and always happy to give more hijiki read more

Immaculately clean. Nice decor including pretty blue hydrangeas on the tables. The menu is great - I want to come back and try it all! Music is good and not too loud - that's important. My lunch was delicious, just the right size and the server did a nice job. read more

The Des Moines location just celebrated their 2 year anniversary, so I've been coming here for about that long. This is a great little poke shop. Everything is fresh and delicious and they have a lot of variations including season proteins so you can always get something different (or stick to your same favorite, that's fair too!). I like to get my poke on organic greens instead of rice or noodles to keep it keto. This is a good fresh, healthy option to get a lot of protein at a fair price (I think the regular bowl is $14.) The shop is clean and inviting and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I also like that they have a few other Hawaiian treats (like spam musubi) to try. Also, sign up for their customer loyalty program (give them a cell phone number) because they frequently text about specials. Just yesterday, we got bowls buy one get one half priced for their anniversary. read more

Ordered through DoorDash and got the Seated Salmon Poke Bowl, so delicious and fresh! Was served very fast and packaged well to keep quality. Loved it recommend this bowl too if it's your first time trying poke here! read more

First time here - got takeout and was pretty disappointed. Some of the salmon was cut into huge pieces, like the size of my fist. I read a different review that someone found fish bones in their huge pieces of salmon, so glad I threw these chunks out. Both bowls I purchased had zero flavor. Not sure if they forgot the sauce or the sauce (house shoyu) is flavorless but both my bowls were completely dry. Won't be coming back. read more

These Just Poke places are popping up all over the Puget Sound region. It's nice that they have a spot in Des Moines right off Pac Hwy. It's also within walking distance from Highline College located in a multi development below the Highline student dorms. I built my own bowl. Everything tasted fresh. I was going to get the mac salad but it looked crusty. I dunno...maybe they need to cover it with a lid. It's nice they have dedicated parking spots. I bet during campus hours those students will try to find parking spots anywhere and everywhere. Plus I'm sure once the Kent/Des Moines Light Rail Station is up and running people might try parking there too. Really friendly employees working here. Glad to have this restaurant in the area. read more

Ordered from grubhub so maybe that's the difference but my bowl was only half filled-- I'm saying only 3-4 cubes of each (3 kinds of poke) for the "large bowl." Even the other sides like corn and edamame were just bits and pieces. The taste was good but definitely not worth the price for the portion. read more

The food here is amazing and the customer service is really great and such a cute restaurant. read more

Just Poké Des Moines - Poke Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

This is really good poke with tons of flavors and options. However, we got food poisoning here. I'm not sure if it was from poor food handling, temperature of the food, or what. We will try this place again since the food was so tasty. We tried a poke bowl that was delicious and an eel donburri that was melt in your mouth. Parking is limited, but if you don't go during a peak time, it's not bad. Food: 5/5 (but because of the food poisoning 1/5) Staff: 4/5 Location: 1/5 (not a nice part of town. They do have a security patrol I saw in the parking lot, but many cars get broken into or catalytic converters go missing here often) read more

Excellent poké, clean establishment, and great selection. Servers need to be a bit patient with first-time or new customers as the process can be confusing. Prices are excellent as well. read more

First off, this place is sparkling clean wow! Staff is super friendly. Food was amazing! Presentation is perfection, so many pretty colors in my bowl of torched salmon. I added eel and had to try a Spam Musubi. A whole bunch of Hawaiin style drinks I have never tried before was an added bonus. My only complaint is I didn't have room in my stomach for one of their gorgeous acai bowls, however, there is always lunch plans for tomorrow. This would be a great place to take a lunch date, the contrast between they grey skies outside and all the fun colors and decor inside was quite nice. read more

So delicious, so fresh and so many options! I was very pleased and impressed with Just Poke. They have a sign up saying they're still doing their soft opening and to please be patient while they learn, but they operated like a well oiled machine. I loved that there were so many topping options and being able to choose between white rice, brown rice, salad greens and zucchini noodles is cool too. Bonus facts- good sized parking lot, super clean bathrooms (both shared with Sharetea). I didn't expect either of those from a Pac Hwy business but I was pleasantly surprised! read more

Quite decent, I like the build your own and the additions you can make with the goodies lined up like a froyo bar. And when you're there, you can grab a spam musubi as well! read more

I had the Hawaiian plate, and I will say it was really good. I definitely will be back in the near future.

Very good poke. Very unfriendly staff... I will also say that it's a little overpriced for the amount you get.

I absolutely love Poke. I'm in search of the best Poke on the planet (and Bloody Mary, but thats a different story!) This Poke is the best I have had so far. Its better than Poke I have had in Hawaii and Tahiti. Try it .. I will be curious if you think I'm right read more

It's great having a poke place in Des Moines. Everything is fresh and there are many different combinations you can make.

Great to have one here! It was a go to when at Kent Station. Keep getting the spicy Ahi. We have to expand and try something new next time.

we came about 30 before close. And they rejected us saying that they were closing up. We we asked about it still being 30 minutes from closing they pretty much told us off. read more

Love this place. Our first visit was going to set the standard for all their other locations. Friendly employees, good portion, clean seating and serving area and their sauces were delicious! read more
