I've visited Olia Poke & Tea several times during my stay in Portland, and it has quickly become my favorite neighborhood spot for a healthy lunch. While the options for building your poke bowl are fairly standard, the execution is what truly sets this place apart. Every bowl I've had was beautifully presented with a perfect balance of flavors and textures--everything always tastes incredibly fresh and high-quality. The shop itself is bright, modern, and impeccably clean, making it a very pleasant environment. What really elevates this place, however, is the level of service. The Asian woman who takes the orders is exceptionally professional and attentive. I was genuinely impressed when she remembered my name after just one visit--a three-syllable Japanese name, no less! By my third visit, she even remembered my specific order preferences. It's rare to find that level of genuine hospitality and attention to detail. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a top-tier spot if you want a poke bowl that feels well-crafted and service that makes you feel truly welcomed. I'm back in the SF Bay Area now, but I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm in Portland again! read more

We have eaten at Olia several times, and until now it was one of our favorite pokè spots in town. While the ambiance and service were commendable, and online ordering was a breeze, one dish was disappointing to say the least. Firstly, the ambiance of the restaurant is delightful, with large glass windows letting in abundant sunlight, creating a welcoming atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal. The young server/chef was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive impression. However, we found the portion size of one of our pokè bowls to be notably smaller than the other, and it looked to be haphazardly thrown together. Every other pokè bowl we've received looked like the photos others have posted: full of beautiful ingredients and cleanly plated. But this one with creamy shrimp, cucumbers, corn, edamame, and noodles/rice looked almost half empty when we got it; see the picture and judge for yourself. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed by the time we discovered it, so we couldn't follow up to see what happened. We're inclined to write it off as a 1 time mistake, with the hopes that it doesn't happen again since we really do love this restaurant, but hopefully their quality control can be improved to prevent this kind of mistake in the future. read more

Fresh fish, ordered it three days in a row! The portion of fish could've been better hence 4 stars instead of 5. I'd advise to ask for sauces on a side because they could be overpowering :) I recommend trying it! read more

Olia Poke & Tea - 2 Proteins Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My fav poke place in PDX closed temporarily so I had to look for another restaurant and I'm glad I found Olia. I ordered their poke two days straight and every time the fish was fresh as well as all the toppings. The only reason why 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel like the portion of fish could be bigger compared to other places I've been to. read more

Olia Poke & Tea - 2 Proteins Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Food: I came into Portland for 2 days of work and this is what they ordered us for lunch the first day. I have spent a collective 4 months in Hawaii and can say the poké here is just as good. Poke Bowls: 9/10 - incredibly fresh, buttery, fish. flavorful sauces, great options for bases, toppings to build out a filling and healthy meal Service: 6/10 - felt somewhat aloof and apathetic to be there but the food was put together nicely, not quick but not slow either ambiance: 4/10 - no music, storage out in the open everywhere, not freshly bussed tables, not a fun or relaxing environment to be in. Conclusion: come for the food, leave for a better time. For sure a great place for take out if you are in the area. Considering we drove 45 minutes to get it a second time and actually experienced the place itself, I don't think we will go out of our way again, but will happily go back if we are in the area for work again read more

I love the poke bowls here, especially that Obama sauce on them. The variety is great and the flavors are delicious. The environment and atmosphere is pleasant too. I highly recommend eating here after a good walk on a nice day. The soft drinks are tasty as well and they chose a yummy assortment to choose from. There's parking, but street. Not far from there you can find a whole street of available spots too. read more

I think this place has a really good poke bowl. The ingredients always taste fresh. They serve generous portions. The owners are super friendly and service is fast! The vibe is bright, light and clean. What else can I say, I'm a big fan!!!! read more

I come here probably twice a month since I work nearby, and my coworkers love it. I typically place an order online and pick up. Parking is awful but the structure nearby has free 15-minute parking. The email confirmation usually says it will be ready within 20 minutes; I typically give them 30. It usually works out well except every time I order, I end up waiting an extra 10-15 minutes for my order. Last time I got food here, from the time I placed the order until I was handed the bag was 55 minutes. I generally don't mind good food taking a long time to prepare but if it's going to take an hour, tell me that on the confirmation email, don't tell me 20 minutes! All of that being said I know I'll be back because it's really good poke and I'm a sucker. Plus, they're really nice. read more

What's not to love? Great food and service. Decently priced. We ordered bahn Mi, Fresh rolls and Poke. It was all really tasty and extremely fresh. The portions were great for the price. I'm glad we finally went here. It will definitely one of the places we frequent in our neighborhood. read more

Olia Poke & Tea - 2 2 Proteins Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Poke in PDX. It's like a pokemon that I caught in the Pacific NW. I got the poke bowl with spicy tuna and the ono tuna. Fresh and delicious. I got a lot of the toppings, but I don't want to bore you with the details. The important thing is that this spot is really good. I enjoyed each bite. The quality and quantity was rock solid. I would recommend for you to visit! PS. this is bonus, but it is difficult to find parking, which mean you may need to pay. (this does not impact the review score, but just wanted to let yall know to come 5-10 minutes early to find a parking spot) read more

10/10 for the poke. Tried the 3 proteins with Ono Tuna, Creamy Sesame Shrimp, and Spicy Salmon. Plenty of topping options and they basically let you pick everything. All the ingredients were super fresh. The fish wasn't overly sauced so the different flavors plus additional sauces didn't clash at all; they even worked really wel together! I like how they seem to flavor their rice and also mix the toppings in there. Never had it like this before but I'm a fan. The fish may be on the small size but that wasn't a turn off for me. Love the texture of the shrimp as well. Totally would go back for their poke bowls. The banh mi, on the other hand, was a different story. Not sure if it's just because of the filling I picked (Ham and Pate) but it's all around pretty bland. No flavors from the pickled radish and carrot at all, I don't think there was even jalapeno peppers in there which there was in the poke bowl. 3/5 probably wouldn't try again. So, go for the poke! read more

I've become a regular thanks to their friendly service and fresh ingredients. They are my favorite restaurant in the OHSU area. The restaurant is very welcoming,and the food is all fresh and delicious. read more

Great to have such fresh & healthy food at the South Waterfront. Located on the first floor of the OHSU School of Dentistry, the restaurant is bright, modern, and immaculate! Unfortunately now that Covid hit, we can no longer dine inside but they still offer take out. They are best know for their delicious and gorgeous poke bowls. The process is similar to a subway where you pick up your base which can be any combination of brown or white rice, sea kelp or greens. Then you add a variety of proteins and toppings plus sauce. I'm not a poke fan since I don't eat raw fish, it's a texture thing that I can't get past. And I don't care for tofu for the same reason. No problem because Olia has the best Banh Mi sandwiches!!! I'm hooked in the Vietnamese ham and BBQ pork on their toasted baguette with Pate, pickled daikon & carrots, crispy cucumber and jalapeño for the perfect blend of textures, heat, salt, sweet and sour. Love! Their fresh salad rolls are wonderful! Shrimp or pork are my favorites. Rolled in rice paper with salad greens and fresh herbs, they make a great appetizer or a even meal. Satisfying without feeling stuffed. Since I have a few friends who are gluten free, I order from here frequently and everyone is happy with their choices. Parking is a bit challenging on the street, but there is a garage. Luckily I can hit this spot on my way back from a walk, picking up lunch or dinner on the way home. So grateful to my neighbor who sent an email to all of us in the building raving about Olia Poke & Tea. The owner is so sweet and friendly. The restaurant is clean and the ingredients are fresh. Love having a healthy option close by. Hope to be able to dine in again once Covid is under control. read more

Hands-down, Olia is the best place for poke in Portland. The ingredients are clearly of a higher quality than the other poke restaurants in town, and the staff are excellent & accommodating. Great atmosphere, very family friendly, and well worth the price. Highly recommend that you try them out. read more

The only place I'm aware of that does poke in the waterfront area, and also the only place I've seen that offers kelp noodles and pickled radish. I ordered for delivery, and went with the only poke option listed (2 protein servings). I usually get spicy mayo, but whenever any shop has their own sauce mix (in this case, ohana sauce), I'm obliged to try. The bowls came well packaged in recyclable containers, and the portion is definitely good enough to make 2 meals per bowl. Pricing is a bit more than some other common poke shops I've tried, but comparable to more high quality poke restaurants, and I'd say the quality lives up. I love the option of having sea kelp noodles as my base for how light it is compared to rice, and the pickled radish has the perfect flavor and crunch! read more

If you're in the aerial tram/hospital area, you need to come here for poke! On a rainy night, this place had low lighting and beautiful plants that created a relaxing setting to enjoy fresh fish. I'd recommend the yuzu shoyu sauce for sure. The rice is really well-seasoned. Not as many topping selections as some other poke places, but everything I tried was perfect (especially the seaweed salad). It's very close to a MAX station, too. read more

If you're looking for legit poke, Olia is the best. I ordered the two protein poke bowl with salmon & creamy shrimp with rice and kelp noodles. The fish was fresh and the taste was amazing. Olia is the next best thing to eating poke from Hawaii. The service was also outstanding and friendly. Loved it! I can't wait to go back and try the banh mi sandwiches. read more

This poke, Banh mi, salad rolls & tea shop is located where the OHSU school of dentistry is at. It's really modern, hip & sleek. Unfortunately there's no dine in right now, but they are still serving food. There's a limited amount of parking on the side street but there is a parking garage right next to it. I ordered a two proteins poke bowl with ono tuna and the salmon. I really enjoyed the marinade in the ono tuna. I do wish the fish portions were a tad bit bigger (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars). However, there's a good amount of mix-ins to choose from. I added in red onion, green onion, cucumber, crab salad, seaweed salad, ginger,edamame, corn mixed with the ohana sauce. Topped it off with some pickled radish, Masago, crispy onion & furikake. I've never seen pickled radish as an option before but it was a great addition. Overall this poke bowl was delicious. The portion size is decent and I'll definitely be making the trip back here again when I'm craving poke. read more

Olia Poke & Tea - 2 Proteins Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I don't often have poke bowls but I always enjoy them when I do and this was no exception. They're structured like a Subway's- only it's fresher, tastier, and healthier! For the base you choose your base, your proteins, add-ins, sauce, and toppings. Each category has a variety of option to pick from. I went with mixed green and kelp noodles for the base. I had no idea what kelp noodles are so they let me sample it (they're kind of like fat, crunchy cellophane noodles?). I tried the plain salmon and creamy shrimp, both were very good and tasted fresh. Fyi, their spicy ohana sauce has a good kick! The service was good. Like I said they let me sample the noodles. Also they put up with my scarily indecisive self so A+ for them! They space is nicely designed and minimalistic. Additionally the prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion of food. $12-something for the two protein bowl. They also have bahn mi's, which is a sort of odd combination with the poke but I love bahn mi's so I won't complain. I didn't get a look at these but quite anges people ordered them to go while I was eating so I have a suspicion they're good. read more

Olia Poke & Tea - Poke Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I used to live within 5 minutes of Olia Poke & Tea so I used to eat here pretty often. I've moved out of the area, but still eat here about once a month because it's one of the better restaurants in Portland to get a poke bowl. Their fish is good and the ingredient options are abundant. However, my last few visits have been disappointing solely because of extremely long wait times. One time to try to avoid a long wait, I made a pickup order through Yelp, which is operated through GrubHub. I never did this again because not only did I still have to wait when I got there, but the prices are more expensive when you order this way. So the next time I went there in person to avoid the GrubHub surcharge and had to wait 45 minutes for two poke bowls. The time after that I placed my order directly on their website and was given instructions to arrive in 30 minutes, which I did. When I got there I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. I'm not sure why their wait times have gone up significantly over the past few months or why it takes 45 minutes to make a poke bowl, but hopefully they can work out the kinks. And if you're someone who is planning to come here on your lunch break, plan ahead!! read more

Happened to be at OHSU with time to kill, so I went outside and came across this beautiful restaurant, all windows with sparkly lighting and adorable children drawing inside. I slowly circled my way around to the front door where I was met with the usual COVID take out set up - table blocking the door, register, menu and a very friendly man. It looked like it was being run by a husband/wife team with their cutie pie kids unexpectedly drawing in customers like me. To my surprise, it was poke and tea! I don't really like cooked fish but I love it raw. Tea: they use Steven Smith teas and while they don't make boba/bubble tea, they do have a few iced milk tea options. I got a matcha milk tea with soy milk. I peeked over the take out table and saw the woman delicately making my matcha milk tea. OMG, I loved the tea! It's nothing like matcha milk bubble tea. There was a nice light foam on top, great matcha flavor and minimal sweetness. It was perfect. Poke bowI: I decided to order a poke bowl after seeing how much care she put into my drink. The man put just as much care assembling my poke bowl. The fish portion was the same as the other toppings. However, you can add basically ALL the toppings for no extra charge and the portions are quite generous. So it makes up for having equal portions of fish to toppings. - I've been to places where fish was more prominent (but no one does it like Uwajimaya, except Uwajimaya doesn't offer toppings). Many sauces are gluten free (some mayo based) and the sweet sesame sauce is vegan and has no garlic (no stomach troubles after eating). The restaurant is beautiful - high key casual dining. They even decorated for the holidays despite not being able to host customers inside. I wanted to go inside so badly, it was so sparkly and pretty. I might volunteer to go to OHSU more often now! read more

Poke bowl was average in quality and amount. The milk tea was extremely sweet yet watered down. I had high hopes for the food but was disappointed. read more

Man, this place use to be the best spot in Portland, but I just paid 26$ for a poke bowl and got 6 pieces of tuna. Base bowl price *2 proteins, + seaweed salad, +crab salad +1 more tuna protein. While it is still so fresh and delicious, the price point and absurdly small portion size is insane to me. 3.50 up charge for tuna and there is definitely not even 1 serving size worth of tuna in my bowl. I am unlikely to return. There are significantly cheaper options that come close to the delicious factor that olia has. I'll sacrifice a tiny bit of flavor for what comes out to about 12 dollars less per bowl and WAY more protein in my bowl. So disappointing. read more

Best poke in the pdx area by far. Quality ingredients, great sauce options. Would go again

Come here if you have all the time in the world to wait for what's supposed to be a quick-grab lunch. Most poke spots are "chipotle" style right, where you walk up and recite your order/toppings as you walk along the bar. This one makes you place your order off of a sheet of paper at the register (slow).. then prioritizes online orders over walk-ins (even slower). The owner lady is also off an addy and needs to chill. She kinda rude. read more

I picked out this place for dinner on the way back to our hotel, and the whole family loved it. The serving sizes are very generous and everything tastes fantastic.

Three words. Wow. And Wow. This place has the most amazing poke. Even better than some restaurants I've visited in Hawaii and I have a very sophisticated pallete. The spring rolls are exceptional and the size of a hot dog. The ingredients are super fresh and the lettuce has a nice crunch. They make their own peanut sauce but make sure you ask for the chili paste. It has an out-of-this-world zing! They need to sell this stuff. I had the 2-protein bowl and asked them to put "everything on it." For my base, I asked for sea kelp only because I need to watch my weight. Best decision ever. The sea kelp looks and tastes like glass noodles but 100 times better and healthier. I give this place my best rating. read more

First impression: beautiful, airy, spotless restaurant. Food: sushi grade fish, nicely cut cubes. My pet peeve is when my fish looks like scrap parts. I had small size which comes with 2 servings of protein. I picked tuna and ono tuna (marinated tuna). The tuna was firm and fresh. My combination was spicy sauce with edamame, masago, pickle daikon with sprinkles of crispy onion, sesame, chili and dried seaweed on a bed of mixed salad. Drink: must try the iced tea!! I was told they will have boba in the near future Service: awesome. Everyone was so sweet! Last impression: will come back!! read more

Great new place at the first level of the Knight Cancer Research! I believe they just opened, as they currently offer a 10% off opening deal on your purchase! I got a poke bowl for $12.95 (without the discount) and got two proteins. It is $14.95 for 3 proteins. The serving size is very generous and worth the money. I received four scoops of rice! There are unlimited toppings and a good variety of options! Avocado is an extra $1, but I don't mind because I am allergic. Currently, they only have Thai iced tea, but again it's because they just opened! I'll be back to check what other options they'll have in the future. They also sell banh mi and goi cuon! Yum! Plenty of seating and very nicely decorated as well! The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Must try:) read more

Yay for good poke!! You definitely want to eat here. They have both marinated poke and build your own poke and tons of good toppings. The owner is very nice and gave great recommendations on things to try and combinations to build. The serving was a good size, the fish was high quality, the sea kelp noodles were new and tasty, the sauces were delicious (and the fish well seasoned with the sauces), and there was a nice variety of toppings and there was no limit on how many you can get! My only regret is that I rarely come to South Waterfront...but that will have to change. I'll cross the river for this poke bowl. read more
