    Medium poke bowl
    Kimberly P.

    Coming from California, I have yet to have good poke in Arizona....until I had Koi Poke. The fish tasted very fresh and there were a number of different toppings to add on top. Seaweed salad and the avocado were a must for me! This was absolutely delicious and I cannot believe this is available in Arizona. I wish it was closer to where I lived but I will visit again when I'm in the area. What an incredible gem!

    So good!! Loved this place. Everything was so fresh, savory, crunchy and full of deliciousness. So good that I will go and get several bowls for my meal prep lunches. This will definitely be on my weekly rotation.

    The vibes here are immaculate. The workers are so nice and so helpful. The ingredients are so fresh and so tasty. I'm definitely going to be coming back here for fresh poke bowls next time I'm in Scottsdale.

    I waited 9 months to enjoy poke again and Koi helped satisfy that craving! I had never been to this location and stopped by for the first time. They have a bar inside, lots of seating and have a nice outdoor patio as well. I love how spacious and clean this location is. The fish and other toppings are fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful!! The young man making my bowl was generous with the portions. This happy mama can't wait to be back.

    Stopped by on a Tuesday around 1 p.m. plenty of parking, & only two workers. I order a medium bowl. 1/2 spring mix, 1/2 brown rice, 2 scoops spicy tuna, 1 scoop shrimp, edamame, crab, avocado, dry toppings with their different sauces. It was tasty & fresh. Only thing wrong was the $2 1/2 hard avocado. Thought it would've come smashed & mixed in but it wasn't. Was too hard to mix it in my bowl. I ended up taking it home to make guacamole. Next door looks like a fitness class got out so there was a line forming. Which was right next to the table I choose to sit at. The bar area had a tv to watch but subtitles were on. $18.84

    Salmon, shrimp, white rice + more!!

    First time here and it was amazing! From the service to the menu items. The seating was nice and spacious, not overcrowded like the other places. Highly recommend!

    Being a visitor from out of town we rely on recommendations from the locals. In this case the locals being the concierge at our resort who provided us a list of eats that the resort staff have personally eaten at. This was our golf getaway but we'd yet played golf due to adverse weather. We wanted something light for dinner. Being Asian we will gravitate toward Asian influenced food which is relatively light compared to other cuisines. We settled on poke. I read the Yelp reviews and decided it fit the bill. Located in a strip mall we made our way over. This is a very informal place. There are several steps you need to undertake in order to come up with a personalized poke bowl. What size bowl? What type of rice? White or brown? Or greens instead. From there you select your protein. Then your toppings, Then your sauce. And finally your garnishes. We did a lot of aah and hmm. But hubby and I each got a crafted poke bowl by the time we hit the cashier. We did a grab n go, and went back to our resort to enjoy. The fish was fresh. I got the Hawaiian tuna and yellowtail. I went with the ponzu sauce. Each scoop was on the smaller portion size but enough to satisfy the palate. Hubby got the Hawaiian tuna, salmon, and octopus. Spicy shoyu sauce. Plenty of parking in the strip mall. Overall 3.5 stars.

    Bella is awesome. Always smiling and knows our orders from heart. If you see Bella working - you've got a GREAT person assisting you on delicious poke!

    Tip: There are other Koibito Poke in town and they have the same logo as well. But I've found out that this Koi Poke has separated from the other one and operate individually. This location hands down has the best quality when it comes to poke. The other locations are not bad, but definitely not five stars worthy. They go by different rewards systems too. This location's rewards program is through their app, and it has been easy to use. Rewards are pretty good, you can cumulate enough points for a free bowl and I don't think the points expires. I've been coming here for a year or two now and the quality has always been consistent. Even dining close to their close time, the quality never suffered. I've tried plenty poke places in the valley but nothing beats Koi poke.

    It's the "kitchen sink" poke bowl and this is their SMALL!

    I've been to a lot of poke restaurants, but this is the best!!!! They have the best service, the best variety of toppings, the most generous toppings, the best toppings ever and the freshest toppings. OMG! We cannot wait to go back. The only downside is that they don't have a location in Peoria where we live. We love the original floors. So creative and theme goes perfectly for a poke restaurant.

    Are you open during Corona Virus closures in some restaurants?

    Yes

    Is this the best poke in the middle of a desert? Would anyone here know if it's actually good? Scottsdale food is bad in general.

    It's one of my favorite poke places. I imagine Scottsdale food could be better, or your lack of sun… 

    Is the snow ice dairy free?

    Not sure

Located in a shopping center they share with several other businesses, free parking was a breeze. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much your run-of-the-mill fast casual restaurant. A little small but clean and comfortable. Not remarkable in any way but does the job. Partially a sit-down place and partially a grab-and-go type place. Service (4/5): You order at the counter and they make your bowl right then and there. The guy working was friendly, maybe even a tad bit too friendly. He was trying to start conversations constantly while we were more interested in just ordering our food. Another nice touch is that they had free books you could leave with. I'm not sure if there's a connection to the owner, but either way, I snagged one. We were still eating when they closed, so they ended up kicking us out a few minutes later. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice for a little cushion as they were cleaning. Drinks (4/5): No alcoholic beverages, but they do have better than your run-of-the-mill soft drinks. Tractor sodas plus fresh juices/lemonades (with three to choose from). Exactly what I hope for at places like this. Food (4.5/5): I created my own bowl (they have preset ones if that's more your style). You choose your size (basically with each size upgrade, you get an extra scoop of protein). I went with three scoops (two Hawaiian ahi tuna and one Asian chicken). The Asian chicken is cooked (one of the few options here that is). Which gives an option for those that aren't into raw food. And it's also one of the few non-seafood options. The chicken was well marinated. On the flip side, I'm a big fan of tuna. I've been to Hawaii which perhaps has the best tuna in the world. The sweet marinade here worked perfectly with the flavorful tuna. The proteins were a hit. For my base, I went with brown rice (white rice is also an option). I added a bunch of toppings including edamame, cucumber, furikake, crispy onions, cucumber salad, black sesame seeds, and corn. I went with their signature sauce and also got their yuzu ponzu and teriyaki on the side. The first two were delicious. The teriyaki, while good, was a little sweeter than your typical teriyaki (I like the classic version). A filling meal and a pretty affordable one.

The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

I went on Saturday lunch so I suggest maybe going for dinner or mid afternoon so you dont get stuck with eating leftover rice from the night before. Or just dont get rice on your order. Also after eating the whole thing i left still hungry. They could stand to make their burritos a little bigger. Also I got a tuna burrito and it had hot and cold toppings mixed in which made the fish lukewarm when it reaches your mouth which was super unappetizing. The sauce was put on the fish so the toppings like vegetables all get mushed into one spot with no sauce while the fish is soaked with sauce so you have to take a small bite out of each side to get a good combo of sauce. But the toppings were SO dry it was hard to eat. They really should put all the toppings in one bowl and mix it all so everything is mixed well before putting it on rice which further dries out your mouth when you take a bite of the dry toppings. They also dont cover their toppings so the fish is just left in open air all day. Considering fish attracts flies there would be no doubt a fly could have landed on the fish you are eating! I get not covering the toppings, but leaving fish out like that is kind of disgusting. One thing I did appreciate was whoever did the hiring hired 2 workers who altho looked like they didnt want to be there (but who really wants to work at a place like this on the weekend), they were still kind, helpful, and answered questions, as this was my first time here. It was smart to have a camera facing the line so they could go in the back to be on their phone rather than some fast food places where you can see them just sitting on their phones behind the counter. When a customer came in they immediately came out to help them. It was nice to see. Also they have a sign in there that states "local, healthy, raw" which i find misleading as theres no way their ingredients could be locally sourced as theres no body of water for fish to grow in arizona so they would have had to source the fish out of state, making it not local. And the fish does not taste very fresh. If it were local fish it would taste way better than wherever they get their fish from! So i found it odd they would claim to be local. Also the only raw thing in this burrito is the fish and a few of their vegetable toppings. And after all the fried toppings, hot cheetos, and sauces i dont know how healthy this is. Certainly less "healthy" than a normal sushi restaurant. But i guess if you compared it to McDonald's i guess it would be healthy. There are signs in here saying they are part of best of phoenix in 2017 and 2019. I cant imagine a place like this being the "best" in the city as the food was just not good. It must have tasted better back then because today the food was bad. So im assuming they cut costs a lot the last few years to the point of ruining the foods taste. Id come back for the service if all their workers were like this. So ill give a star for that. But I dont think ill come back for the food. The rice really ruined the whole burrito as every bite contained the inedible hard pieces of rice. The food is mediocre at best. I left hungry too.
