    Traditional Spicy Traditional Spicy Tuna Poke plus avocado and mango

    Super fresh and delicious. Great location, in the same place as Juiceland and Gati (ice cream). Got the Traditional Spicy Poke with Ahi tuna, added avocado and mango. Very refreshing, perfect summer lunch.

    OG with Salmon 1 pound

    You can order by the half-pound or full pound instead of a small, rice-heavy bowl! I got 1 lb of ahi tuna for $19 and 1 lb of salmon for $23, which felt like a much better deal than most poke spots charging $15+ for a bowl with just a few bites of fish. If you actually want a solid portion of poke, this is a great option. What I liked: The salmon was very fresh - I ordered The OG salmon poke, and it was flavorful and well-marinated. The fish had a nice, smooth texture and absorbed the soy sauce and sesame oil well. No weird aftertaste or fishiness--just fresh, clean flavors. Portions are generous - A full pound of fish made for a very satisfying meal, which isn't always the case with poke. If you don't want rice or fillers, ordering by weight is the way to go. What I didn't love: Ahi tuna wasn't as fresh - It started off tasting fine, but as I kept eating, I noticed a slight fishy taste, especially in the middle portion. Not terrible, but not the best either. Next time, I'd skip the tuna and just get salmon if that cannot be improved. Seasoning is strong and a bit oily for me. The marinade is on the heavier side, with a lot of soy sauce and sesame oil. It's flavorful, but personally, I prefer a lighter touch so the fish itself can stand out more. If you're used to milder poke, this might be a bit much. I was just looking for a simple, no-frills poke spot, and this is a solid choice. The salmon was great, the value was good, and the flavors were bold. Not sure about service since I chose delivery.

    I lived in Hawaii for 4 years, and this is by far one of my favorite spots for poke. Fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying! Service was quick and informative. I appreciated that they gave me furikake on the side upon request, small touch, but it made a difference! Indoor seating is limited (about four tables), but they do have outdoor seating as well. Overall, a great find and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    The poke was okay but for close to $20 for one person was expecting a lot more overall. I did the half tuna half salmon which was okay but I've had better locally at a similar price point. The rice might just be a different style but it was a little too soft and almost mushy for my liking. It also took nearly ten minutes to come out which seemed a bit long when they didn't seem super busy and I would think everything is premade. It might just not be my style, but definitely not a spot I would look to come back to.

    This is a chain restaurant. Each of the Poke Poke I've been to have the same menu, great service and fresh food. There is plenty of seating inside and out!

    My wife and I had gone to Hawaii in March of this year and had some amazing poke. We were inspired to find some good poke here in Austin. Poke-Poke was VERY satisfying. I had never heard of it or even driven in this area before. Definitely a gem in this neighborhood. The ambience gave us a "vintage" feel--like it deserves to be functioning somewhere near a beach. There's not a lot of seating inside, but they do have tables outside as well. We were lucky enough not to come during a lunch rush. The woman who took our order was very kind and professional. My wife had the "Lil Poke with a brown rice base and the Aloha Poke recipe." I had the "50/50 Poke with a white rice base and the OG Recipe." Both were delicious!!! The fish was fresh, the rice was soft, and it was all super flavorful!!! We were very impressed. Portioning was also just right--I didn't leave feeling super full, or still hungry. We'll definitely be back when we want our poke fix!!

    Love coming to this spot when I'm in the area. The poke is by far the best in austin. The store is a little small but there's seating both inside and out and makes for a great lunch spot. The staff is always super friendly and have good recommendations. The price is about what you would pay at any other poke place but I find that most places will add more sides and rice than fish. Here the protein is what stands out! I recommend anyone in Austin come check this place out if you want true poke.

    I stumbled upon this hole in the wall eatery yesterday and I'm glad I did. As a native Texan who lived in LA for two years, I became very fond of all the yummy poke on the West Coast. Poke-Poke satisfied my craving for authentic and delicious poke. Their menu is a bit confusing but the staff will gladly help you out. The dining room is not open right now but there are a couple of outdoor seating options to enjoy your poke in the sunshine. I am excited to return back to this establishment and try more of their delicious poke. Maybe next time I'll try their fish on weekly special.

    JT's poke
    Aude L.

    I was craving traditional poke - not the kind with all the toppings and barely any fish. This hits the spot if you're looking for quality Hawaiian-style poke. The restaurant itself is very casual and you can definitely tell most of its business is to-go orders. We ordered JT's poke and the Yowza Yuzu. Both amazing. The sauces add flavor without completely overpowering the fish. We will for sure be back.

The moistness was what struck me as different and more delicious compared to other barbecued meats I've had. They did keep the meat wrapped in foil until presented to the customer, which must help. The brisket is only seasoned with salt and pepper so the flavor of the meat and smoke comes through. The ribs are also finished lightly with bbq sauce, still preserving the meat flavor. They do offer four different barbecue sauces that are quite delicious. Bread and pickles are free, as are ice and water. Line wait data point: Went on a Tuesday (they are closed on Mondays) got there at 12:20 PM and it took just 80 minutes to get through the line. Left just after 2pm and there was no line - and few if any meats left.

I was genuinely excited to check this spot out and left severely underwhelmed. The good? Well, our server was attentive and nice. 10/10. The drinks were pretty on point for a tiki bar. The ambiance is primo, and it's genuinely a great place for a date to have drinks. The bad? The food was very lackluster. We ordered the following: Snow Crab Musubi: I honestly don't understand how you mess this up. The menu claims it comes with kewpie mayo (my favorite) and chives, but the quenelle of crab that was put on top of the rice was bone dry, falling apart, didn't appear to have any chives, and was served with a haggard lemon wedge. There was zero fat to coat the tongue, and it legitimately tasted like unseasoned crab with sushi rice that didn't even have a hint of acidity to it. As someone who takes pride in his work as a chef, at the $14 price point, this sort of rubbed me the wrong way. As a matter of fact, it felt borderline pretentious. This is coming from a guy whose mentor was the R&D chef of the best restaurant in the entire world. And no, I'm not being hyperbolic. I simply take pride in my work. This restaurant group actually has an R&D kitchen, and the best thing they can muster up is this half-baked dish? Do a light cold smoke on the crab, make a nice Knorr-based soy mayo for some umami, and top that f*cker with something to brighten it up. Preferably something that has synergy with... I don't know, Hawaiian BBQ. I felt like I was eating a lackluster Asian version of a Crab Louie Salad. It was absolutely bonkers. Slingin Shrimp: This honestly wasn't that bad, but the presentation and portion size could use a little love. The shrimp submarine makes it a bit awkward to eat. Butterfly the shrimp. It will sit nicely on top of the rice and give it more appeal. As mentioned before, the sushi rice had zero acidity to it and simply not well seasoned. Li'l Octo Karaage: It tasted great, but the guys in the kitchen need to know how to cook squid. It was far too chewy, which is unpleasant. This is a quality issue that could easily be remedied. I will also say the fryer oil appeared a little old because the fry itself had a fairly dark appearance. The drinks and ambiance were the only highlights. It has really cool decor and a cozy vibe to it. If you're looking to get a couple of nice drinks after dining out or you're pregaming? This is a solid spot. If you're looking to impress a date or a friend from out of town? That's going to be a nope from me, dawg. Admittedly, that crab musubi just irked me. So boring. No love. Just unfiltered nonsense that only the uninitiated would be impressed by. I actually applied to work at their R&D spot a few years back, and from the looks of it, they could use a guy like me. Again, I was very excited to finally dine at this spot. Their ramen establishments tend to be fairly on point. Their dashis are great. No idea what's going on at their tiki spot.

I ordered my burger without jalapenos and without mayonnaise. I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was delicious. You could taste the char from the grill and it was cooked perfectly. Most of the other ingredients were fresh. The pineapple added a sweet flavor while the ham gave it a slight saltines. The cheese was melted to the burger. My burger could have used a few more small onions and some crisper pickles. The onion rings were really good. They were super crispy on the outside with a good sized onion inside. I usually eat my onion rings with ketchup but I didn't need any. The onion rings were tasty on their own. Overall this food truck had delicious burgers and onion rings. The service was good despite the online ordering system not working. It was a very filling and tasty dinner.
