Clean, minimal décor with a thoughtful splash of hand-drawn art on the walls. It gives the space some personality while also making it feel connected to the community, its a place where regulars and visitors alike can leave a small mark. The staff was friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of fruity drinks and teas to choose from, with enough variety for just about any mood. Food-wise, the off-menu bowls were tasty, but I went with the build-your-own option. There's a deep lineup of ingredients, so it is easy to put together something that fits exactly what you want. read more

Will definitely be going back to Pa Tea & Poke! They have specials on different days of the week! (look at the photo of the chalk board or their website) I am big fan of Thai milk tea, and this did not disappoint. Note, I usually get it "less sweet" from Sencha, and I really like that at Pa, you can specify the actual percentage of sugar. I ordered mine at 25% and thought it was perfect (a little sweeter than a normal latte, if you are trying to gauge what percentage to order). We got the salmon lover bowl and the , as well as the squid salad. The bowls were good, but I am definitely glad I added double fish, because there was a lot of rice and other things and I wanted more fish. I also will probably ask for more spicy mayo next time, because it was a little bland. However, there was definitely enough food, I didn't need more to eat, and I really liked the mix-ins. The texture of the squid salad was great, and I would recommend giving it a try, I just didn't care for the sauce (no reason, just wasn't to my taste). This is a casual dining place. There are a few tables, but it's not a big space. The service was good, and everything made it into our takeout order. read more

Stopped by on a whim Friendly service , big menu Tried the strawberry cheese tea with the strawberry popping boba which was good but I guess I'm not really a fan of the "cheese" it's too creamy and supposed to be like cheesecake but the strawberry part was good at least but I wanted to try something new I would try another drink next time if in the area read more

Stopped in for a large poke bowl. I was the only customer there. It took them 10 minutes to assemble. Fine. It's actually more egregious that they're charging $20 for a bowl that's half filled. I'm literally sitting here counting the pieces of fish. I think right now, I'm totally less than 15 "cubes" total. I have way more cucumber than anything else. I called to complain and the girl just went, "oh. Ok." This is highway robbery. I'm so upset. read more

PA Tea & Poke - A "large" poke bowl with 5 cubes of salmon, 6 cubes of yellowtail, and 4 pieces of scallops. What a ripoff. - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I went to PA Tea & Poke during a snow day with my friend. We were really happy that it was open and able to get a sweet treat. We both got fruit teas and enjoyed them. They were the right amount of sweet. The restaurant is a bit small, but it seems like a lore grab and go place. Our service was quick and glad we were able to check it out! read more

I googled best poke in the NE/ Mill District and this came up. It didn't disappoint. I ordered the three protein option. It was perfect for dinner but probably go with the two for Lunch. read more

So good, the Volcano bowl was delivered by foodsby and I'm impressed. Generous portion, super fresh ingredients. It's really good.

Delicious tea, okay food. Fast service! Placed a delivery order because I was craving something fresh, so I opted for a Taro Root Bubble Tea, and the Volcano Bowl. The tea was solid, not overly sweet, and options to swap out milk & choose sugar levels. The bowl was good, but a bit mushy and about halfway through I was sick of it. There are options to swap ingredients to add more crunch, so maybe with a different selection I would have liked it more. Downtown-like street parking or SP+ parking ramp behind the building. read more

PA Tea & Poke - Volcano Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Generally I like Pa Tea & Poke! I usually build my own poke bowl (frankly it's in the image of aloha poke's crunch bowl!!) but also enjoy their taro or Thai bubble tea when I am looking for a little treat. Usually they are quite fast with the prep unless there is an unexpected long line. The only downside is that I feel like they run out of ingredients relatively often, especially spring mix! But I guess that's better than selling spring mix that's past it's prime. Would recommend for a quick takeout dinner in Northeast! Wish they had some gyoza or other tasty apps on their menu, but that's probably the ghost of pinKU speaking!! read more

I order poke fairly regularly & Pa is one of my favorites! I usually build my own bowl, which can add up at other places (with some toppings costing $1+ each). At Pa, most toppings are included, which is fantastic. The bowl itself is almost $17 (at least via DoorDash), so it's a bit on the higher end, but is worth it. All in all, I highly recommend Pa & I can't wait to try it in person! read more

PA Tea & Poke - Regular Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

One of my coworkers introduced me to Poke Café, and I'm so glad they did. I had never eaten here before, but from my very first visit, it instantly became a favorite. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the flavors are vibrant, and the variety they offer is impressive. The service is always pleasant, and the ambience is so cozy and cute--it really adds to the overall experience and makes every visit enjoyable. I've loved it so much that I've introduced others to Poke Café, and I've already been back multiple times myself. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful food, great service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, this place is truly a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend! read more

We wandered over after a delicious dinner next door looking for some bubble tea so we didn't have any of their food but ordered a Mango Green Tea with lychee jellies. My ordinary go-to and it was made super fast & tasted good! read more

Best poke bowl I have had ever in Minnesota! The service is beyond my expectations! Overall, I will be back next time!

This place is great for a quick bite! The service was fast, friendly, and the food was great! I got the salmon lovers bowl with tuna added on. The ingredients all tasted fresh and seemed like a good portion size. The inside was clean and pretty minimalistic if you care about that sort of thing :) read more

PA Tea & Poke - Salmon Lover Bowl (add tuna) - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I would tentatively say this is the best poke place I've been to in the Minneapolis. The inside is small but cute and has a good amount of seating for the space. Parking is a little difficult as it's street parking in the Northeast but manageable even on a Saturday around lunchtime. Got their Hawaiian bowl and it was super easy to customize it on their site. Subbed salmon instead of shrimp and added poke sauce in addition to the mango sauce they already put on it. This bowl had soba noodles instead of rice and was a refreshing twist to the classic poke bowl. I would really recommend the poke sauce over the mango sauce (or at least add it) as I feel like it goes better with the soba noodles. The salmon was pretty fresh and overall the bowl had a lot of texture and flavor and left me wanting more. I got their Hong Kong milk tea with boba and honestly felt like it was decent but still lacking. The boba was chewier than what I would normally expect but not in a bad way. The taste was fine but nothing special if a bit watery. Would probably try something else the next time or skip the boba. read more

Located in NE Minneapolis, PA Tea & Poke looks to be a relatively new place in the former PinKU location. From reading PinKU's farewell letter, it looks to be Asian-American, women-owned so was excited to give it a try to support a local business. Came before the lunch time rush so it was quite empty besides two people working behind the counter. Menu focuses on poke and Chinese-style tea (e.g., cheese tea). Prices are a little high as many of these dishes are between $12-14. Ordered - Salmon Lover (3.5/5). It was good nonetheless, nothing too differentiating from others but filled a hungry, empty stomach during lunch. Portion was adequate but did leave some hunger. Didn't have food restrictions but would be nice to have the workers ask whether you have rice (e.g., brown vs. white) preferences or other dietary restrictions Overall this wasn't too bad and always nice to have more Asian establishments around the area. read more

PA Tea & Poke - Salmon Lover (3.5/5) - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Look ! at ! that ! color!! The idea of raw salmon cravings gross me out, but I've accepted them as a natural part of my life‍ Walking distance from me, this place is my new go to for that. Very casual, with a BYO style option, there's ways to customize each bowl to your liking (or choose one of their creations). Their teas options looked great too! read more

Pa Tea and Poke was SO tasty! I love a classic poke bowl, and especially love that they have cooked options since I don't like raw meat! I'm such a fan of the avocado and pineapple options and the boba is to die for!! The brown sugar boba was so flavorful and just the right amount of sweetness!! The service was so quick and friendly and it's a great casual little spot to get lunch with a friend! read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and got the build your own bowl. Lots of variety so you can customize what you put in your bowl. For the price, there is not a lot protein. In my opinion, not worth the price. Lots of seating and the staff was nice. Overall it was good with lots of different variety but I probably won't be back. read more

This place was a fun quick spot for poke! They had good variety in meals and a decent amount of fish in their bowls for the price! Service was fast and I was probably in and out within 25 min from ordering and eating my food (I was also probably fast because the bowl tasted so good). Great place to check out if you're craving pork and also want a quick bite! read more

PA Tea & Poke - 3 Poké Bowls - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place is in the previous Pinku restaurant so they have a super big shoe to fill. Special Bowl - combination of diced raw fish - salmon, tuna and yellowtail. Avocado, tomatoes and corn and seaweed salad with eel sauce. Very tasty bowl, but my complain is there is not enough fish. Lots of rice though. My biggest complain is that the bowl was served room temperature, which is a little nasty for a poke bowl. I hope they keep their raw fish at a safe temperature before serving. I feel fine so should be okay but I just prefer my bowl chilled when I eat poke bowl. Once I got home, I chilled the other bowl before eating it and it was way better with the raw fish. I also added my own wasabi and it kicked it up a notch! I really like their bubble tea. I ordered the oolong milk tea and taro milk tea. They taste good and exactly how I ordered it at 50% sweetness. The boba in their tea is da bomb! Perfect chewiness and it reminds me of boba in the true Taiwanese fashion. read more

Found out this place opened from Instagram and I was really missing poke since moving out here. The prices are extremely reasonable for poke, the location is prime for the Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood, and the food is fresh and delicious. I opted for the build your own bowl and did one scoop of salmon, and one of spicy salmon along with edamame, mango, cucumber, squid salad and a few other toppings which I can't remember. All that for under $15 is a great deal, especially out here in the Midwest where seafood can get really expensive. Both forms of salmon were great and the portions were generous. I noticed they also had a huge milk/boba tea selection which I would've definitely ordered if it wasn't so cold the day I went. I will without a doubt be coming back! read more

Best tea and Boba combos I have seen . It's really nice inside also and great friendly staff !!

This place opened in Mid January in NE Minneapols and is open 11am to 8pm daily. We thought we'd give it a try and had a variety of bowls and teas... all were excellent. They have a build-your-own bowl (think Chipotle for Poke) or a variety of dishes to choose from. Same with the Teas. Can't wait to try more variations! read more

Excellent Poke; the fish was fresh, there were a lot of options for toppings, and the portion size was great. The milk tea with brown sugar boba was also great with a very rich tea flavor. The dining area was clean and comfortable, no complaints. Overall I would highly recommend for a great Poke experience! read more

PA Tea & Poke - Regular Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Been here ~10 times now. Consistently great Poke bowls and boba tea. Go support them!

I've been missing some good poke since I left Fairfax, and this place hits the spot. Respectable size scoops of decent quality fish, a wide variety of options for make-your-own, and all for a very reasonable price. Same goes for the boba, I got a large taro boba for pretty cheap, and they were kind enough to throw in a free one too! My only complaint is that the white rice didn't taste all that fresh, which could be my fault for going right before closing (the soba noodles were refreshing and made up for it). Also, wouldn't hate it if they added a shoyu or eel sauce. I can definitely see myself swinging by at least once a week -- highly recommend! read more

amazing food! so fresh and huge portions. glad we ate in the car - we ate like wild animals! can't get enough.

Ordered on DoorDash. Was not a huge fan... I love poke and have tried all places. Rice was undercooked, tuna had a funky smell to it, and it was not very flavorful. I paid an extra dollar for extra cucumber and got 6 thinly cut pieces... so you're telling me I would've gotten only 3 thinly cut pieces if I didn't pay extra? I ordered a large and it is the smallest large I've seen compared to other poke places. Super disappointed but hopefully the owners will take this review into consideration and at least make more flavorful and fresh poke with fully cooked rice. Keep your small large bowl but at least make it good. read more
