    Plate lunch
    Sam L.

    Didn't expect to find this level of aloha in AZ but here we are at the 2026 best local poke winners! Nice service behind the counter and the shoyu limu took me straight back to the islands. Furikake avocado was primo too. Tons of flavor in the kalua pig. Everything was just so on point and, being in South Scottsdale, super accessible. Located in a small strip with decent parking. Order at the counter and there's a couple tables to dine in. Lunch special pricing 11-12 for the plate lunch!

    I just absolutely love how many more authentic Hawai'ian places are opening in the valley! OG Poke is located inside a strip mall, at the north end of the location. Its a small space, but they pack a lot of flavor. We were welcomed, warmly, and genuinely! Turns out, we were both from Maui so we just talked story. Aside from the true Aloha - the poke was so good and simple. The cuts of ahi were perfect. We ordered the ali'i bowl which comes with 2 scoops of poke: ours was spicy and shoyu. We also got the mochiko chicken plate lunch. Y'all- its so good! I'd love to come back and just order a pound and eat it w/ chips like when I was in college.

    Authentic Hawaiian food here, coming from a Hawaiian local. While I ate here, I realized all the workers and customers are also locals from Hawaii. The restaurant has the Hawaiian flag up with island music in the back. The workers speak pidgin which just takes me home and makes me miss it! The poke combo was so ono. You can choose two sides with the kanaka, and I chose Mac salad and cucumber kimchee. They even have spam musubis, butter mochi, ube cheesecake and all the aloha drinks to go with your meal. Seatings limited and has two tables that fit four but it's cozy. I'm coming back no doubt. I love it here!

    First time at OG Poke. We arrived at 11:30 to make sure they didn't run low on anything. The place was extremely small, with only two tables inside. Ordering was done at the counter and then you sit down if you're lucky or take it home. I got a Hawaiian Plate (off menu) plus a pound of Poke to go. After tax, it came to $63.08. Given that it was 2 1/2 meals for me helped but it was still steep. The service was outstanding and I hope everyone gets that level of service. My son in law is Hawaiian, so he bonded right away with them. The 7620 E McKellips Rd, Ste 13, Scottsdale, AZ 85257 Plate came with two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, a portion of Lau Lau, and a heaping portion of Kailua pork. It was all very well prepared, good portions and freshly made. The poke was fresh, with good portions and clever flavors.

    We got two medium bowls and the food here is heavy. We probably need one medium bowl to share next time. The fish is cut into huge and juicy pieces. There are many options of pokes and sides to choose from, creamy or zesty. They are freshly made in the back. Butter mochi cake is moist and not too sweet.

    Don't be fooled by the location. Perfect place for OG Poke off the street. Poke bowls are fulfilling and ono!!! Perfect taste just like home! Always greeted when you come in with friendly staff to serve you! The ambiance is giving ALOHA SPIRIT! Local kine grindz!! Always 10/10 recommend!!! Real poke island style!!

    I'm so excited to have a more authentic poke spot in AZ, finally! Counter-style poke is my favorite so I immediately went on a Sunday afternoon to give it a try. The staff is definitely learning still since the place is pretty new, although already bustling and busy. Although we didn't have too many people ahead of us, ordering did take some time. My husband and I both ordered medium poke bowls and were able to sub out a scoop of rice for an extra side for $3. For the quantity of food and fish I didn't find the price unreasonable. The Mac salad, rice, and seaweed salad were standard and about what I would expect. I tried out the spicy ahi poke which was mayo based and also the furikake ahi poke. The fish quality was alright --some of the fish pieces were a little bit tough while others were more or the melt-in-your-mouth consistency I prefer. There were a couple gristle bits as well and some of the cutting was a little uneven. However, the flavors were good. Since this is the only spot in AZ I think it will do well and I would return if I was in the area. Highly recommend trying it out!

    If you want mora authentic poke bowls this is the spot. Small little place make it feel mora authentic. The food is delicious and very fresh for AZ. The service is very friendly and down to earth. Will be returning to try more on the menu.

    10/10 poke bowl, tastes just like home (Hawaii) I did add my own furikake not sure if they put on when requested. I got the largest bowl, great portions. If you're ever craving a poke bowl, this is the spot to go to. Great service, they also sell other small snacks from Hawaii and juice inside.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

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 POKĒ bowls were fresh and surpassed my expectations. I was able to order one for myself using their toppings that had plenty of flavor yet was fitting to the Mediterranean diet. I did this by customizing my bowl. The other option was to order a pre-made bowl.

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
