So authentic and so good! Feels like you're in Hawaii when you're here. The ginger tuna was soooo good

I am not sure how I feel about this place especially since it took me 1.5 business day to finish the poke I ordered which the majority ended up in the trash. It was missing something, on top of being so overpriced. I've been here more than once to give them a fair review. The second occasion was to get a spam musubi, the rice was mushy and besides the spam- it was bland. I also tried following the google hours (which is the same hours posted on their door) just to get there and they said they were closed. The staff however are really kind which is why I keep going back read more

Heard so many good things and I had to see what was up. Followed the instagram, and finally made some time to look for parking and check out the poke. There were many good options, a little pricey for frozen fish. I met the owner. Reminded me of an uncle back home. While the poke wasn't bad, it was clearly made to appeal to the Oregonians. I grew up with simple poke, just enough sauce for flavor and just enough seasoning for taste. I got a poke plate and I normally just put enough sauce to coat my food, I ended up receiving a heavily sauced container of fish. I got a few musubis and Hawaii snacks. For a poke plate, 2 musubis, and Hawaiian sun almost $35, I almost joked out loud and said wow must have Gold in my bag. I would come here again, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for poke in Portland, there are so many other options. read more

Was craving some fresh seafood and came across this on UberEats. Was hesitant since a lot of the reviews on there is misleading so decided to check it out on Yelp. Not a lot of reviews but the food is incredible. Everything felt so fresh, not overly salty. They said they're generous with their portion, but I can disagree there, hence the 4 star. In Portland, so far, this is the only place that I came across that has fresh seafood. Will probably have to see what else is around! read more

You also can get a poki bowl with fresh rice. I been wanting to find somewhere that sells by pound and taste like home and found it!!! Love service A + and great vibe read more

Best Poke in Portland, hands down. The fish is so so good and you can try samples. Seriously, OG Poke is just better than every other place around. The biggest size for $24 feeds two hungry humans (with a couple musubis). There's a mini heater full of spam musubi. The krab broccoli salad is so money. The kimchee cucumber is a textural blessing. I can't wait to come back. The service was counter and super friendly. There are a few small tables in the restaurant. PSU students are lucky to be so close to great foods. read more

A cute little shop under an apartment building that you could easily walk right past, this place unassuming spot is full of nice people whipping up easily the best tasting hawaiian poke in portland!

OG Poke - Tuna poke (2 flavors) and Mac salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Hawaiian style poke. Lots of marinated fish to choose from with spicy or creamy sides. I was stoked to hear about this place because none of the poke places in Portland have marinated poke, just a sauce as you like it, which means it doesn't have time to get flavored with the marinade. The inside has Hawaiian music playing and is clean, fresh, and even has a few tables to sit and eat. They also have a cooler with Hawaiian sun drinks and some Hawaiian snacks to purchase. The people are super nice and helpful if you have questions about what the ingredients are in each dish. I got the spicy aioli and the teri ginger with double rice and a side. The fish is FRESH as it can be, great texture on the ahi and really nicely flavored marinades. It was onolicious! 10/10 recommend if you want to feel like you're back home in Hawaii or just want a small reminder of what it's like there. read more

OG Poke - Inside - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

10/10 pokes! Unique flavors, all fresh. Our favorites were the Teri Ginger and Avo Furi. But honestly they're all great. I enjoyed getting a bunch of quarter pounds to try. Their sides are also delicious. Generous scoops for the bowls. Grab a bowl and have a picnic in the park block on a sunny day! read more

OG Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Good place if you're looking for a poke bowl and for around $20. There are several flavors of poke. They also have a few good dessert items. Limited seating. It's in downtown, street parking. 2 limited time parking in front of the small restaurant. read more

This place hits the spot for that authentic Hawaiian poke fix! Huge chunks of fish, lots of flavors to choose from. Service is always friendly. They got a bar and a few tables to sit at for dine in. Located near PSU so parking is a little tricky. 10/10 love this place, only place I can find delicious shoyu limu! read more

No nonsense poke shop that has really friendly staff, very Aloha spirit. The options are good. I tried the furikake poke that was well seasoned. But the taegu poke, which was a daily special, had chewy tuna for some reason. Still, it's a decent poke bowl and I was surprised by the crab broccoli salad, was very enjoyable and something I've never had in Hawaii. Unlike other poke spots in town, you only get one side along with rice, but overall this is a decent option when craving poke. read more

OG Poke - Medium poke bowl with two kinds of tuna poke. Pleasantly surprised by the crab broccoli salad. - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Excellent flavors, poke cube sizes on point, just like home (foodland, IYKYK). My tummy is smiling ear to ear right now with pure satisfaction and excitement for my future visits! Now this place is bomb! Go support your local 808 fam and try their poke out. Service was so friendly and they also give out samples to try (again, like foodland). Order by the lb, or get a poke bowl with rice and a side. Place is quaint, with welcoming island jams, and some seating if you wanna enjoy it there. Mahalo OG poke fam! Finally a place I can confidently say tastes like home. No need go back read more

Kanaka bowl which is 3 poke scoops -- 2 sides & 2 rice scoops. I got twice the mac salad. It wasn't exactly put on nicely, but who cares I was hungry lol. Furikake ahi tuna, spicy aioli tuna & spicy garlic shrimp. For $24, it is quite pricey! But it was also a lot of food. I actually had to split with my husband. The flavors seemed as fresh as it could be, and closely the same as what I'd get in Hawaii! Delicious and spicy, yum! Glad there's a great poké spot in PDX! Place is unassuming. More like a grab and go spot since it's a small shop with temp parking right in front. read more

OG Poke is a cute first-story restaurant. It's small inside but nicely decorated. I ordered the Medium size Poke Bowl for $20. It was a very delicious meal and a fair price given the 2 scoops of Poke. The spicy avocado was my favorite! I thought the rice was tasty and the edamame was a good side. Both flavors of Poke were delicious! I will absolutely return. Our server was nice and helpful. She was the only one working on a late Monday afternoon and did a great job balancing it read more

Came in from Washington for the weekend and tried the special of the day: Inari Poke and it didn't disappoint. The flavor was very good, tuna was firm and not mushy. The service from the front counter lady was pleasant. The restaurant had one other customer so it was not crowded. Tables were clean and music was good read more

Was searching for Hawaiian spots in Portland, and though there were a few popular ones recommended, we happened to stumble upon this hidden gem -- and I mean literally hidden. Let me tell you, parking was surprisingly easy! They've got a small lot right next to the restaurant. It's tucked away on a one-way street (like most of Portland), so it's easy to miss -- but don't make that mistake... turn that ass around! Service was super friendly and straight to the point. The musubi was sitting warm in a heating tray -- fire. Only thing missing was a little sprinkle of furikake. Music was pleasant, the vibe was chill, and it was perfect -- nice and cool inside, not stuffy at all despite it being a small space. & the star of the show -- the fish. Super fresh, thick cuts, and generously portioned. The marinades were flavorful and distinct -- we got ginger, shoyu, and spicy aioli. Each one was seasoned beautifully and balanced. None were overpowering or repetitive; every flavor had its own identity but still blended well together in a single bite. The tako (octopus) was tender and immaculate. The mac salad was okay -- texture was good, but mid at best. And that Mochi Butter Cake? So good. If you're Filipino, it'll remind you of cassava cake but with a soft, chewy sapin-sapin texture. Definitely a must-try if you like mochi-style desserts. Wish y'all were in LA -- this place was delicious, fresh, and spot on. Well done, OG Poke! read more

Many different kinds of poke to choose from. Personally I like my poke bowls to have a lot of toppings which they don't really do here. With the medium bowl you get 2 scoops of poke & only 1 side. Sides includes Mac salad. Broccoli slaw salad, seaweed salad, or edamame. Also they could use some tap water, which they don't have. read more

Visiting Portland for the weekend and stopped into OG Poke hoping for a quick and yummy lunch. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of Poke and the authentic flavors. We got the large bowl with two scoops of the spicy and one scoop of the chili pepper hawaiian. The fish quality was to die for. Perfect texture and generous chunks coated in the most delicious marinades and aiolis. Mac salad was also killer. Service was very friendly and efficient, made us feel extremely welcomed! read more

OG Poke - 3 scoop Kanaka Poke Bowl (Large) - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As my usual search method, I used Yelp and found this location. They sell various types of poke by the pound but they also offer poke bowls. I went with the 2 scoops bowl which is 2 scoops of rice, 2 scoops of poke, and a side. I went with the teriyaki and another one that was savory with seaweed. For my side I chose the mac salad. I really liked the teriyaki poke for it was a little on the sweeter side. The savory one had a more ocean taste because of the seaweed. The mac salad was yummy too. read more

OG Poke - Limu and teriyaki - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was craving poke today and had a great meal, but I am not surprised. This place gives you a good portion size fur what you get and the flavor in every bite, it shows. The service was nice too. They have a version of nacho poke that was interesting. I liked it and it's a unique take on the nacho stack. I would definitely try this place if you haven't and anything on the menu would be a choice without disappointment. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place when I was in the area! It was 90 degrees out and poke was the perfect thing to eat on this hot day! Small little shop near PSU. I love that they had different options to choose from as far as poke and flavors. They also had musubi, desserts and li hing candy you could purchase. Customer service was great. They were so friendly and allowed us to have a couple different samples because we weren't sure which ones we wanted. Everything we sampled was sooo good! They gave good sized portions and the poke and the sides were packed with flavor. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is the best! Guy working there was super nice and such a vibe. The whole establishment was such a Awsome vibe going on with sweet music and flags on the walls. The sizes are huge and the fish was so flavorful with tones of rices to top it off. Even in Oregon you can still taste the islands. Would definitely recommend! read more

OG Poke - AliI Poke Bowl (Medium) - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Poke done right! That's all I have to say. Heard about this place from a friend and we are definitely picky about our poke because nothing beats the stuff from HI so we were pleasantly surprised! PARKING: We parked on the street but there were plenty of spots when we came on a Sunday for lunch. SERVICE: Friendly staff! They even offered to let us sample any of their poke before we decided. AMBIANCE: Island vibes for sure in downtown PDX. Enjoyed the music while we ate inside. There are a couple tables to sit. They also have some Hawaiian snacks for sale. FOOD: They have several options for poke including selling it a la carte or in a bowl! There's different sizes with different numbers of scoops of their poke. They also have a nacho option. I got the medium bowl which came with my choice of 2 scoops of their poke, 2 scoops of rice, and 1 side. My husband got their poke nachos! Let me tell you the fish was fresh, and the flavours were on point. I got the limu ahi poke and the spicy avo. I love me some limu! It was fresh and salty and perfect. The spicy avo was delicious as well and the fish was not overpowered by the sauce. Mac salad was not overly loaded with mayonnaise and it was seasoned well. They have musubi as well which I didn't get to try but I know it's good because they wrap the entire musubi with seaweed which is how it should be done! PRICE: Honestly I'll pay whatever for good poke. They have large portions and I think everything was reasonably priced on their menu. OVERALL: We will definitely be back for seconds. We also wanna try their desserts! They have a lilikoi cake and a guava cake that looked so yummy. Come here if you want a taste of Hawaii in the city for authentic and well done poke. read more

We are new in town and we stumbled across this restaurant. It looked like a little hole on the wall in the best way. The girls working were really friendly and gave us great recommendations on what was popular and what they liked. You could see them cutting the fresh fish & honestly it was so cool to watch. The poke bowl was AMAZING, their krab salad was mixed with broccoli which was kinda surprising but tastes so freaking good. I'm going to be wanting to go back very soon read more

I feel like the hubby and I have been back every week since we've been here. And it's seriously "home" vibes in here. The staff is always cheerful and have that lowkey vibe- nothing is wrong type of attitude. We've tried more of the flavors and hits the spot all the time! We even tried their BlueFin sashimi when they had it- reminds us when our neighbors would leave for morning catch and we would buy it fresh. Soooo good. They also started selling some Hawaiian desserts like coco puffs and cakes (guava chiffon, chocolate chantilly) which were alll so good. The most original you can get to flavor profile from back home and freshness of the fish. read more

Discovered OG Poke on our 1st day in Portland and met Kevin, the OG himself. He shared his story with us and we knew right away the poke was made with love. We went with 1/2 lb of the daily special (looks like shoyu limu) and he added extra limu to our bowl, 1/2 lb of the avo poke, 1/2 lb of kim chee cabbage, spam musubi, side rice and side wonton chips. We dined in for the full experience and omigosh!!! The poke was SO GOOD ... hand cut ahi not too big and not square, with flavors that hit up all our taste buds. It had the best mouthfeel! Sprinkled chili water all over the rice and on the musubi... it was over. Love that chili water. Then, we tried the kim chee cabbage and it was next level kohala. Like you know how good kohala is and try to imagine it better. Kevin said they make everything fresh daily and we gave him high praise. We tried to convince him to open up a shop in SoCal because good poke is so hard to find there. We dined here one more time before heading back to SoCal and this time we jet Jastin (with an A) and Alexa. Super friendly. Jastin has big passion for local foods and we playfully suggested he try making lomi lomi ahi. We ordered the same exact as last time minus the musubi. Sprinkled chili water all over the rice again and we were completely content. Everything was yum! This ranks as one of the best poke shops period. Tip: pick the Strawberry Lillikoi. It goes perfectly with poke. read more

Wow I'm so impressed! The owners are so friendly, encouraged us to try anything we'd like before we commit (they do have a lot of different pokes!) everything is made in house and fresh. We got a 3 scoop poke + 2 rice + 2 sides to share and it was plenty of food. We enjoyed everything we tried (inari, chili, garlic shrimp, krab salad, Mac salad, kimchi, and kimchi crab). We also got all the desserts mochi, ube cheesecake, macadamia nut cake. Man, go there and get your poke on right now! read more

Best poke I've had in Oregon. We had the daily special which was oyster sauce with dried shrimp, and the chili pepper Hawaiian. Both were WINNAZ. The employees were super sweet helpful. Space was cozy and clean. Makes this local girl wish she were at home! read more

Fantastic poke! I would be here every week if I went to PSU or worked in the area. The menu is simple - you can get a small, medium or large poke bowl. You can see all of the pokes in the deli style case at the counter and the friendly staff offered samples as well. The favorite of our group was the avocado one, but they were all great and well marinated. They also offer butter mochi and have a couple tables to eat at if you're not taking it to go. read more

This is easily the best poke i've had. We went an hour before closing and they had two options left: tako and spicy aoli tuna. We got both and they were so delicious and fresh! The owner was also so kind. I recommend going closer to when they open so there are more options to try. Will 10000% be going back! read more

Absolutely delicious. If you like poke, you'll love this place. Lots of options, friendly, helpful staff. Small seating area. Easily a 10/10. read more

OG Poke - The selection of poke and sides. - Hawaiian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

OG Poke has officially ruined me for all other poke spots in Portland -- it's that good. The freshness of the fish here is on another level. Every bite of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail tastes like it was caught that morning -- buttery, tender, and never fishy. You can tell they take pride in quality and sourcing. The portion sizes are generous without being over the top -- it's the perfect balance of protein, rice, and toppings. I got the OG Bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, and every ingredient was vibrant and crisp. The toppings are fresh, the sauces are balanced (not drowning your bowl), and the texture combo is perfection. For the price, the value is unbeatable. You're getting sushi-grade fish and high-end quality at casual lunch prices. It's one of those rare places where you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. The staff are super friendly and quick, and the whole vibe feels clean, modern, and relaxed -- perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. If you're a poke lover (or even if you think you're not), OG Poke is a must-try. Portland has plenty of poke spots, but OG truly lives up to its name -- it's the original and still the best. read more

This is one of the best authentic hawaiian poke spots i've had on the mainland! Fresh, flavorful, and the quantity is very filling. They also have various hawaiian snacks, and yummy butter mochi.

Can't wait to come back and try the poke nachos. read more

I have to deduct a Star from this place, because I feel that they give you too much rice (two big scoops) and will not let you swap one of the scoops of rice for a different side. I also feel that the cuts of Poke are too large for my liking. Since after being at OG Poke, I discovered a new restaurant serving Poke called: "Husubis' Poke Shop" in Vancouver, Washington. The Poke taste even better and fresher than OG Poke! (No, I am not affiliated with this new restaurant) I am only giving my honest opinion. Husubis' Poke Shop on Main Street serves some of the best Poke I have ever had outside of Hawaii! Their flavors are very tasty! The cuts of Poke are smaller than OG Poke, which makes it tastier to the palate. It does not have that strange "off taste" that I felt OG Poke left in my mouth and stomach. It's definitely worth the drive to the 'Couve! Don't take my word for it...Just try it yourself and write a review! ;-) read more

This new spot in downtown Portland has been open 7 weeks! Service is friendly and there are a couple seats to sit at- they were pretty much full and said it's been like this since they opened! One of the first things we noticed when we walked in was the beautiful huge chunk of tuna that was being cubed up! My husband immediately started drooling when we were looking at all the flavors. It was hard to choose but they allow samples of their tasty poke- we ended up getting a large ($24, it was quite large!) poke bowl with spicy avocado furikake, daily special (taegu), and chili pepper, with a 1/4 lb of limu on the side. The spicy avocado furikake was amazing and our definite favorite!! We had some pockets of sun come through and for a minute it felt like we were in Hawaii enjoying some good poke! read more
