The selections for toppings is off the chart! I super appreciate when I can try something new and they had a few things I'd never heard of. Fish quality was pretty decent as well and multiple options to choose from. Great service and good portions. One of my fav poke spots in Austin! read more

Honestly one of the worst poke places I've been to in Austin. It was really expensive for the tiny bowls you receive, and the buffet-style made me question how fresh everything was. read more

Super tasty, fresh and friendly folks running this joint. Picked up some merch in proximity down south and figured since I'm coming from up north, I'd try someplace new and local. This place is great for lunch and hits the spot for tasty fresh poke! :) Will be back whenever I'm in the area! Yay south Austin! read more

Poke Austin - Super BYOB - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

My fav Poke spot in Austin. Lots of variety with the Salmon and Tuna if you are feeling adventurous. From a Krab Salad lover they also hit it out the park with regular, spicy, and Snow Crab. Heavy Handed scoops and phenomenal staff. Take my money! read more

I've been looking to give Poke a try for some time now and finally found the opportunity to stop into Poke Austin. They have a few set menu items but the place is set up so customers can build their own bowls. You start with a base (brown rice, white rice, quinoa, or spring salad mix, you can also combine two options!), then add your proteins, mix ins, and toppings. They have so many options, I couldn't name them all in this review if I tried. However, something to note is that certain selections do come with a $1 upcharge. Also, service is slightly slow, but that has more to do with customers being indecisive, or sorting through their options and less the do with the staff. The staff were extremely helpful at explaining what everything was and how ingredients compliment each other. I ended up building my owl bowl with salad, spicy scallops, yellowtail, red snapper, carrots, cucumbers, mild poke and garlic aioli dressing, ginger, kimchi, scallions, and sesame seeds. Did I mention they have SO MANY OPTIONS? My bowl was incredible. I felt satisfied, but not stuffed afterwards. I'm not sure what ingredient made my bowl as spicy as it was, but it definitely had some kick. My partner and I can't wait to come back and try some other combos! read more

Poke Austin - Strong bowl - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

Located in Sunset Valley, this is a great little restaurant. You enter the restaurant, and immediately go to the counter, where you select the size of your meal along with all the various ingredients from shrimp to tuna poky to lettuce to crab and so on. The staff fills your box with your ingredients, then you select a drink item from the refrigerator, and find a seat inside or outside. I chose the small tuna poke meal with white rice, edamame, ginger, carrots, corn,, and cucumber. It was delicious. My wife picked the crab bowl and she had a choice of salad or rice. She said it was very delicious. We've included some pictures for your enjoyment. If you're in Sunset Valley, give it a try. It's located next to mighty fine burgers. read more

I've stopped by to pick up lunch on several occasions and my experience has been consistent. Food portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Clean environment with friendly staff - I do recommend. read more

Way closer than Hawaii to cure a Texan poke fix. An abundance of options leaves a lot of room for both variety and the element of surprise -- choose your ingredients deliciously (or pick a configured menu item). Choose your own adventure! Inconsistent quality across ingredients detracts from potential: tasty toppings, fresh greens, offset by occasional misses like 'sushi rice' that was a confusing clumpy mush. read more

Poke Austin - a bowl of food on a table - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

Let's get to the point Poke Austin is not my favorite Poke. The tuna and salmon do not taste fresh and this is my second time giving them a chance. The service is good and fast. Prices are decent as well. read more

Poke Austin - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

I met up with a friend here for lunch this afternoon. It was our second choice since our original choice wasn't open on Mondays. Boo!! No worries, I had just bookmarked this place on Friday after dropping off a box at Fedex. It all worked out in the end. Upon entering you will see a list on the wall of all your options and steps to follow to create a delicious bowl. I ordered a medium bowl which comes with 3 proteins. I decided on tuna, salmon, and yellow fish on a bed of fresh greens. I added a variety of other things to make my bowl delicious to include: seaweed salad, jalapeños, pineapple, cucumbers, etc Note: if you are gluten free they do have specific sauces for that and you just have to ask them. There are also a few upcharges available to include adding avocado for an $1. Overall it's a good healthier option and it's a great place for gluten free, dairy free and vegetarians. read more

Poke Austin - Poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

First of all i found the service to be rather unfriendly. The server (a guy) showed no sign that he was happy to be working there or waiting on me (it's hard to find good help now, I know). But that would have been ok if the food made up for it, and sadly, it didn't. The spicy tuna was about a 1 on a 1-5 scale. The other fish (Salmon and Shrimp) was bland. None of it tasted very fresh. The toppings were ok, but i didn't particularly care for pickled veggies that seems to have lots of food coloring. I will pass on this place and try one of the many other Poke places in town. read more

Poke is slowly making its move into South Austin, and I'm a fan! I think Poke Austin is the first poke-only spot in South Atx, and I've been waiting for that. Coming from CA, it's such a big thing there...and originally from HI, I'm glad this foodie trend is shifting here. I went with the medium bowl size. Usually, I think I can get the largest size, but my eyes always end up being too greedy for my stomach. The good thing is, if you get a size too large, you can always keep it in the fridge and eat it later on or in the next day. They have a good selection of toppings like edamame, seaweed salad (SO glad it's free! Def a great selling point), kimchi (Korean-owned wassuppp), and radish, to name a few. I also love that you can get half/half different bases--for example half salad and half white rice. My friend isn't a big fan of raw fish, so she got their baked salmon. IT WAS HUGE. I would highly recommend that--and it's the same price as poke. What a deal! Poke Austin also sells mochi ice creams and cold drinks. The reason I docked off a star is because when I go to poke spots in CA, I am usually asked if I want to sample their poke. It's a nice touch to taste the poke you are considering to put into your bowl. This is just a suggestion. If you're in the mood for straight up seafood protein, healthy eats, and a Chipotle-style ordering system, come here. They also use FiveStars, so if you become a regular, you can get rewards. There's plenty of seating indoors and outside, extra sauces like sriracha, plenty of chopsticks, and friendly service. read more

Poke Austin - Medium with a green tea mochi - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

The milk tea boba (purr*fect) is PERFECT. Delicious. Poke is amazing. Loved the options. Easy to customize. Would come back! OH and staff was EXCELLENT!!! Super friendly and helpful and so much fun :). read more

Poke Austin was a great find for me on the way back to the airport. The rest of my traveling group hit up a fast food joint. I wanted fast, but not the food typically associated. Poke Austin was not only fast, but it was fresh, the people were accommodating and the flavors were good. An excellent alternative to the typical fast food. Wish we had a Poke Orlando. read more

Poke Austin - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

I do not think this place was horrible. But I do not think this would qualify as good Poke. Is it average for a White area American fast food store, yes. I'm thinking on par with McDonalds. Was it fast, no (actually took like 20 mins to get the one bowl with 4 people in front of me upon arrival). The two (teenagers... maybe) were very kind though. Would I recommend, no. But to be fair, outside of this review, I wouldn't talk about the food/experience at all. read more

I frequent a few businesses in this same shopping center, and was very excited to see a new restaurant. Simple, casual, fresh, delicious - exactly how I like my food. I have been to poké places before, and knew the drill - choose a bowl size, point to ingredients you want in your bowl, pick a dressing, and voila - fresh meal is ready. Poké bowl is like an "Asian inspired salad". They have a nice variety of salad as well as rice or quinoa for the base. Then you pile veggies and protein. It's a perfect meal for hot Austin summers. I would love to change one thing in how their bar is set up - please, separate vegetables AND tofu from fish/seafood. I do not eat animals, and have witnessed seafood dropping on top of tofu tray. Come on now! You can do better than that. Unsanitary and gross. Plus, no respect to those who are not consuming fish/meat. Otherwise, great place I have visited many times already! read more

Poke Austin - Small poke bowl was so delicious - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

I love going to this place and eating delicious pokey and I also love that they make it fresh

Poor service, quality of tuna and did not state up charge for certain toppings. $20 for a mediocre poke bowl.

Not a good value, around $15 for smallest skinny portion Poke. Salmon and tuna here is not very good quality, service is lacking here. Better Poke options in Austin. read more

It was definitely a miss in my book. I was cravvvving poke bowls so went in to try this place out for the first time! I was sadly disappointed. The quality of food was just "eh" to me. The rice was kind of hard, the fish seemed not very fresh, there wasn't enough sauce on it (we got it to go so I should have asked for extra on the side) and it just left me totally not satisfied. THEN the most bizarre thing happened to me AND my boyfriend......we had like a smoky/cigarette aftertaste in our mouth. I LOVE fish, I LOVE poke bowls and I have NEVER had this taste. I will not be going back as it was too many "misses" all around for me. read more

I USED to love Poke Austin so much. I go here Atleast once a week in the middle of the day and I think I usually get the owners to make my food. (Not sure if they're the owners, but they seem to know the people around & how to navigate the restaurant) AND THEYRE PRETTY GREAT. They greet me and they're super friendly! I even saw a kid once helping his dad clean the one of the tables. Pretty awesome. BUT the past month, I've been ordering through Uber eats and usually order around 7pm after work. And this happened 3 times already, staff are not friendly and most of the time they seem clueless on what to do / or if I want to order something else they'll have poker face or will look annoyed. And no thank you either. I also think the quality and amount of the food is not as good as it used to be. I ordered "super"-- doesn't look like super anymore. I ordered boba, tapioca was over cooked, the texture almost felt like paste. And the ice was probably 80% of the cup. And I know that establishments put a lot of ice so they stay cold but theirs is pretty much just ice. So sad that this is happening. read more

This is my favorite poke place! It's always clean and it's always good. My favorite is a small with half brown rice and half salad greens. Then I get spicy tuna as my protein, add some veggies, for the sauce I get mild poke mixed with spice mayo, and top it off with some fresh avocado. I have never once been disappointed here. Be sure to check out their daily specials and sign up for rewards when you check out to get free stuff! read more

Ordered today for the third time. Drink was missing, many of the ingredients in my bowls were missing and THEY CLOSED A FLY INTO MY TAKEOUT BOX!! I can't believe how careless and gross that is. I wish I could attach a video. Done here for ever ever. read more

Solid poke place in south Austin! They have an extensive array of toppings and they are generous with them. Service is friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and clean interior- what's not to love? read more

Just OK. Maybe they were having an off night? Ingredients seemed of decent quality but the guy making my bowl was very stingy. For $16 I expect to not be starving after finishing my meal. At least fill it up with the cheaper filler toppings? Also, the tuna in my bowl was definitely half frozen. This is an acceptable healthy to go option in a pinch but I definitely won't come running back for more. read more

Poke Austin - Half empty bowl for $16 - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

Fish was good, didn't get much for the price. Customer service was horrible. I walked in at a time where there was no one. The girl didn't greet me until she saw me standing staring at the menu. It was my first time there so I was looking for more than a minute and she started explaining it to me. Love a good poke bowl, and this spot sufficed. I would be back but not with the customer service experience she gave. Maybe act like you like your job one bit? read more

This was my poke spot since it opened! It's been a couple months but today we went back and it's completely changed. The portions are much smaller (price is the same of course). The seared salmon appears to have been torched for an hour, terribly overcooked. Also, multiple toppings were missing. What was put in the bowl doesn't even taste the same, and it's not just the overcooked salmon rocks. This is the saddest poke bowl I've had. Save your money. This is no longer the spot. read more

Poke Austin - Really depressing bowl - Poke Near Me - Sunset Valley, Texas

Not a bad place to satisfy some poke cravings. It's bright and clean and has a variety of things that you can add to your bowl. I did take a look at all of their special bowls - but didn't find that I liked any of the combinations. Luckily you can create your own, and depending on the size of your bowl you can add different proteins (even cooked stuff for the squeamish). Most the other fixings are free to add, so go ahead and get a nice combo together (you can even mix sauces). I wouldn't go overboard though since it'll become a crazy mix of flavors - I'd go with things that are a bit more complimentary. Since they do mix the everything for you, it does take a little bit of time - so when they're busy you will need to wait a little bit. I'll definitely be back here at some point. read more

It always smells fresh and the food feels and tastes fresh. They are always quick and easy to order or pick up.

Poke is not really my thing so can't comment on the food. However, I did get their soft serve which was very good. The person, that I assume was the owner, was very nice. She gave my girls free cookies. Nice local business that I recommend! read more

Found a hair all up in my rice in my bowl. Told the man at the counter and he offered to remake it but nothing else. He walked over to tell his boss (which looked like the owner maybe?) and all she did was shrug and shake her head. I wasn't offered a refund.. only another bowl from the same food that had a hair in it?? Ew. Wish I had taken a pic read more

Not bad. Lots of different protein selections and flavors. The fish was just ok and can not really confirm the freshness or quality. The staff could use a pep in their step, too as the ambience seemed to be lacking any energy. I'd say give them a shot if you're in the area but will say the other place, a little more south is far more impressive. read more

My husband and I literally eat here at least once a week. We love this place! He sometimes splurges and gets the spam, but I get the same healthy, fresh bowl every time (boring I know) but it always hits the spot. They have water bowls outside for pups which we appreciate and their weekly deals are awesome. They ONLY downside is that they run out of the coconut mochi pretty regularly - which seems to be everyone's favorite! All in all a great place. read more

Portions are insanely small!! Their tuna looked extremely low quality too. Maybe I'm spoiled from going to Pokeworks on east riverside, but I would not recommend this place whatsoever. Gf and I were super bummed! read more

My first time trying a Poke place in Texas and it was good but I was not wowed. We tried the "Ouch That's Hot" and the Seared salmon bowl and to be honest I love hot, but this bowl was way hotter than I anticipated, like uncomfortable hot. The seared salmon was a lot better. Everything looked really fresh and because they have quite a few different options, I will definitely give them another try. One last thing, although on Google it says they are open to order from inside, they are not. Although the doors are open, I was told I had to go back to my car to place the order online and even though I was annoyed, my order was ready earlier than the 35 minutes quoted. read more

My new FAVE place! Best place around for Poke/sushi! Choices are awesome: build your own bowl or select from their options. Everything was fresh and delicious! An absolute go-to if you love sushi/poke, eating healthy, and getting exactly what you want! Highly recommend, and hope like crazy this place sticks around! Please give this place patronage!!! read more

People behind the doors making food not wearing masks. The cashier's mask was below her nose and even though there is a sign to wear masks they let people hang out in the store waiting maskless. The owner did reach out and help us handle a refund promptly. They do have yummy food though.. wish we felt safe ordering from them. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience. The spot is located in Sunset Valley behind the FedEx and across from Mighty Fine. If you are new to Poke they make it pretty easy for you to put a bowl together. First you pick your filler which is typically white rice, brown rice, quinoa or salad mix. Then you choose your protein - they have all types of delicious things to pick from. Next you choose your mix ins and dressing. Last you top it off with a handful of toppings and crunch. If you are unsure what to pick the employees working can probably suggest something tasty. I noticed that they did for several people when we were there. I had a salmon bowl with white rice. I added pineapple, cucumber, carrots, red onions and mixed it with the mild poke dressing. I topped mine off with ginger, seaweed , masago and fried onions for a nice crunch. It was delicious! I got the small which was plenty big for me too. My husband did a completely different combination and opted for the large bowl with the salad mix. He said his bowl was great! I would absolutely come back here and I am glad we have a good poke place down south now! Definitely a fan here! read more
