This is the best poke I've found in Louisville. I only recently discovered it, but I've already had it several times and am obsessed. The interior isn't anything special. They have some seating, but I think it's mostly carryout orders. I recommend ordering online so it's ready when you get there. My favorite bowl has been the volcano bowl. It has all my favorite things. The Ahi Poke bowl is decent too. You can build your own bowls. They have tons of varieties of ingredients and it's all very fresh. Highly recommend! read more

I've had a lot of poke bowls all over the country, but this is the best yet! The servings of fresh, tasty raw fish or plentiful. I loved the octopus so tender and fresh. I ended up having two because one was not enough and I needed to drive back to North Carolina so I decided to fill up with fabulous fish on the way. The sauces are fantastic and I loved the homemade winter melon tea. Definitely an amazing hole in the wall lunch place. Very highly recommend recommended! read more

It's good poke for Louisville, I wish the protein portions were larger or you had the option to double up.

Louisville has a great poke spot? Yes, they do this place is sweet. It's like Subway but for Poké bowls.

One of my fav places to go! Haven't got to go in a while because I moved to Lebanon junction so I never go past UofL but passed an exam today and decided I should treat myself and stopped in! Great food and great people. Haven't been in forever and he still remembered me. I know the construction that is happening near them is affecting their foot traffic so definitely stop in they deserve it and it would be a disservice to the city to lose them! read more

PokeHana - Salmon, spicy salmon, kani, avocado, edamame, seaweed salad, house sauce. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

so nice and super yummy. i hope that you come. here make sure to say hi to the person making you food. hes the best.

I had never tried this place but heard very good things, so decided to stop in for lunch with my boyfriend. We both got the fried rice bowls with poké, I got chicken and he got rice. Both were delicious! I think the portion is perfect for a lunch, and the price isn't bad either. Since it was our first time, we had a few questions and the staff was so kind and took the time to explain certain flavors to us! We were even given a sample of a sauce we were curious about, which is so sweet. I would absolutely love to come back and try more from them! read more

This was my first time here and it did not disappoint! Walked in and got it go. Delicious and fresh! Very filling.

A hole in a wall joint located by the convention center! Walkable distance to a lot of places. A great choice if you and your party want Asian food but want a large selection. You can get poke or meat. Theres crab, salmon, beef, chicken, etc. You can create your own bowl or order a pre-selected bowls. You can walk right in and walk out. There's tables you can sit to. You order first so it's a very casual spot. read more

New lunchtime splurge. A co-worker recommended this as a good spot near our office. I had a hard time choosing between the delicious-looking options. I built my own bowl with tuna and salmon. It was flavorful and fresh, and there was plenty of fish in there. I really like that they have the lettuce option too for low carbers. It's more than I like to spend for lunch, but the quality and quantity will make me go back! read more

My number 1 lunch spot, I swear I'm here at least once a week. It is so fresh & the staff are so nice! read more

PokeHana - Build Your Own Regular Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Fast, easy, inexpensive and solidly tasty. Spicy bowl (I added seaweed salad) made in front of me in about 2 minutes. If I lived or worked downtown I'd eat here on a nearly daily basis. Poke isn't hard to do well but there's plenty of room for error. Wish they had a greens and rice base option. read more

Delicious poke bowls. I got the one with mangoes, it was amazing. Definitely hope to go back soon. It's downtown so a bit of a drive but totally worth it. Will go anytime I'm near downtown. read more

Very quiet when I entered with no music and maybe three tables total to sit at? You start on one side and add toppings to your base. Not a bad price for three protein choices (11.50)! I'm sad to say that this was a disappointment as the fish was not very fresh and was tough (even though it was raw). I also found a fish bone in my yellowtail tuna...even though there was plenty of sauce, it seems like it is missing some depth of flavor. Something about this is just not cohesive. At this point, I decided I was going to toss the dish and I had effectively wasted $12.19 (includes tax). The quality of the fish was just not up to par as well as the attention to detail. read more

I heart poke and I heart Pokehana! Pokehana is also small, nondescript but clean and efficient. I have been here 4 or 5 times so far. I find their ingredients to be very fresh each time. I always get a poke bowl with brown rice as the base, then I go nuts w so many add-ons. My favorites so far has been the yellowtail, tuna and salmon. It's not easy to keep everything so fresh, but Pokehana manages to do it well. Their seaweed salad is a must try, too. And their spicy mayo is no joke! It stung me a bit, but it didn't stop me from eating. Pokehana is just so good and very much worth the money. One note: since they keep their rice fresh and hot in the rice cooker, it means that the raw fish will be warmed up if you have to wait to eat it. So it is best to eat it there or run back to the office quickly. read more

PokeHana - Spicy Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Super fresh yummy food. The best poke I've had outside of Hawaii. I typically get their volcano bowl and a juice.

Really quick service, very friendly staff, very economical for a larger poke bowl. The guy gave some good recommendations on what to get and mix. It was very flavorful. I am visiting from the DC area. $~11 for a large poke bowl with all the Fixins' is a steal! I recommend. I got 3 types of protein. Double avocado (at no extra charge) One of the 3 Fish I got was not as fresh as expected. But it's KY not Hawaii. Overall very good and filling. Healthy also. read more

PokeHana - Looks so good!! They don't skimp on ingredients! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Not very big so best to have for to-go but this is THE BEST poke bowl in Louisville. Period.

What a little gem! I have been wanting to try PokeHana for a long time and I finally decided to venture downtown for lunch one Tuesday. Parking was easy (thank the Lord!) at one of the many meters down the street. When I walked in, there were a couple of people dining in and a couple of people in line. The line moved fast and the gentleman making the poke bowls was incredibly friendly. This was the first time I had tried poke so I perused the menu for a few minutes before deciding on a regular bowl with white rice, spicy tuna, kani, and veggies. I got the house sauce but next time I think I'll get something spicier. The portions were generous, the tuna and veggies were fresh and flavorful, and the house sauce was nicely creamy. I will definitely be back as I know my husband will love this place! read more

So fresh and yummy!! Such a fan of this place. Could eat it every single day. Quick as well

So yummy!! Very reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly. Low key small spot. Loved everything read more

When PokeHana opened, I had never heard of poke before. But as a seafood lover and someone who likes to try new foods, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would get my fix. That it is within walking distance of my office is an even bigger draw. I have had the opportunity to visit several times now, and I am quite a fan! The first time I went, I ordered one of the bowls on the menu. The next couple times, I built my own poke bowl. I like that option so I can get my bowl over lettuce, rather than over rice. Although if you prefer rice, they have both white and brown rice. The fish I have gotten has always been fresh and tasty! I do wish that there were more veggie options to add to the bowl. That said, the seaweed salad is my favorite thing ever! I love that masago is a topping option. YUM!! And the sauces are delicious! There are enough different things to choose from, I could get a poke bowl every week and have it taste totally different just changing a couple things! And you get quite a bit of food for your $9ish dollars. If you get your poke bowl with rice, you probably have enough food for two full meals! It isn't a fancy place. You are meant to take your bowl to-go, I think. There are maybe 6-8 seats inside, and if it is nice weather another 6-8 seats outside. Not very large. You get through the line pretty quick. I really like this place, and it certainly adds variety to the lunchtime food options downtown! read more

PokeHana is the perfect place for a quick and refreshing lunch. I loved that they had a customizable menu that clearly stated allergens next to each item. That made it easy for me to create a delicious gluten-free bowl! Their house sauce is delicious, creamy, and subtle. I didn't get tired of the flavor by the end and enjoyed every fresh ingredient in my bowl. I took a photo when I had already dove in, because the flavor was so great that I knew I had to write a review. It was much more beautiful before I started eating it! read more

Poke has been on my food bucket list for a bit now. Happily, that has now been crossed off, and I'm excited to go back and try more. PokeHana has a counter a la Subway or Qdoba where you choose the items for your rice bowl, but at PokeHana you choose from rice or lettuce, vegetables, protein choices (including sushi-grade fish, steak, chicken, or tofu), toppings and homemade sauces. I'm a fan of trying new things, but I was a bit hesitant about the raw fish. I asked the lady behind the counter what she recommends; she directed me to the salmon. I'm not normally a fan of raw salmon, but I thought I'd give it a try and got it with shrimp. I'm so happy I did! The chunks of raw salmon didn't have the texture I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. They tasted fresh and light. Along with white rice, avocado, salmon, shrimp and ginger, I got the ponzu (citrus soy) sauce on top. This made for a good portion of food that tasted refreshing. I left feeling fed but not weighed down by my lunch. The servers moved everyone through quickly. Most customers took their bowls to go, but there are a few tables if you want to eat in. The restaurant was clean and bright. I'm excited to try more combinations. This is my new spot for an easy, quick, healthy lunch downtown. read more

Wonderful food is 10/10 fabulous good welcoming sweet energy!! I would definitely recommend!

Best poke in town. They have lots of options, including cooked meats like steak and shrimp if raw fish isn't your thing. It's always fast and on time, staff is friendly. My only complaint is that it's not open during regular dinner hours or on the weekend. Makes sense given that it's located in the center of downtown, but which the hours were e read more

Great food, quick and polite service, convenient location. I purchased the spicy bowl today and greatly enjoyed it. Next time I'm downtown for work around lunchtime, I will certainly be back. I recommend this spot to others, you won't be disappointed! read more

This is one of my new favorites. I finally decided to try them today and I was very impressed with the taste and quality of the food. I want to go back tomorrow lol. If you like poke bowls then I highly recommend it. The guy who made my bowl was very helpful and nice. He also gave me great information about what all they had read more

Awwww yeah. Poke not on a coast? Always a gamble tbh. BUT this place is pure fire y'all. Fireeee. What's poke? Well, my version of Webster will tell you it's absolutely delicious. It's raw fish (think sushi!) over a bed of rice and has vegetables on top with some sauce (terriyaki, chili sauce, it's your time to be you here). This place is pretty small, maybe 2-3 tables and some high chair seating. It's a busy place during lunch. For about $9, you get to pick two types of fish, a grain (or lettuce) and vegetables. I got spicy tuna and smoked salmon. I highly highly highly recommend it. They give you a sizeable portion! I definitely did not leave hungry. For a few dollars more, you can get 3 types of fish too! I love that they didn't charge me extra for avo like dang you know I already love u if you're gonna hook me up with that magic. What to try: poke bowl with spicy tuna and poke sauce Water rating: no tap water available, had to buy bottled. Only disappointment there! read more

PokeHana - Poke bowl with tuna and salmon O M G yum - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I think this is a great addition to the Louisville food scene! There aren't many places to get a poke bowl and these are definitely worth the trip downtown. I went with two of my friends and there was a very short line that moved quickly. The woman who checked us out was the sweetest lady! I was a little disappointed they did not have real or imitation crab to add to the poke bowl but I settled with the bul-gogi bowl. You can add any additional vegetables to the bowls at no cost! I added some cucumbers. The bowl had really great flavors but not enough sauce for me, so I asked for an additional Korean Chili on the side. I loved it with a little more sauce and there was a perfect amount of food; I could finish it but did not feel overstuffed. If you are looking for a quick meal and are downtown, I highly suggest trying this place. read more

The sign outside the restaurant perfectly describes the food..."custom Asian sushi bowls." I did the create your own bowl and I didn't mess it up! It was delicious and spicy, due to the jalapeños and Korean chili. I really enjoyed the shrimp (served cold). Next time I will try the tuna. Fast and friendly service as well. read more

PokeHana - Large Poke with tuna, salmon, smoked salmon - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Love this place for lunch. Very fast, assembled like like a sandwich shop Fresh ingredients and generous portions for the price I usually always get the 3 scoops of fish option, but 2 is enough to fill you up Have been here several times already and will certainly repeat more read more

I love PokeHana and wish there was one somewhere else besides downtown. When I worked in the downtown area, I would go once a week, now I go when I get in the area. They have several options on their menu but I get the same thing all the time because why mess with perfection? I get the regular bowl with white rice dould the spicy tuna, all the toppings but onions (allergy), and the poke sauce, all for $10.60, including tax. It is fast counter service where you tell them what you want as you go down the line and pay at the end. I have never waiting in line long and the place is almost always busy. There is inside seating, but not much, so I get it to go and find a nice place to eat downtown. My only complaint is I want one closer to home. read more

Underrated downtown Louisville restaurant! It's a quick-service sushi bowl place with wonderful food, high quality fish, fresh vegetables, and delicious sauces. Their bowls are totally crave-able! read more

What to get: salmon poke on brown rice with avocado and seaweed salad Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: Take out, fast, order at the counter Wait: 0 mins (Thursday 4:45PM for 2) Parking: Street and metered parking The Experience: This is a rare dish to come by out in Louisville. If there is an adjective to describe poke, it's "fresh." The place comes packed with options for people who are vegetarian or don't like raw fish. The possibilities are what make it fun. I tried both the salmon and tuna on my bowl, which I think I liked the salmon much better in all honesty. An easy choice for 'American sushi' taste. Creamy avocado chunks with slightly pickled cucumbers adds texture and color. The seaweed salad is a must in poke bowls to relate back to its Hawaiian and Japanese origins. The tricky part is the sauce. There's so many and although they have descriptions posted, I had no real way of telling which ones would taste good. Not sure if they'd let you do a sampling of a few, but I went safe with the "poke sauce." This is a quick meal type of place and a bowl is enough to fill one up for lunch. Since the ingredients need to be fresh, you won't feel heavy with a food coma after eating this. Poke bowls are something fun to try, so it's worth it to check out PokeHana at least once. read more

PokeHana - Large poke bowl: 2 scoops of salmon, 1 of tuna, brown rice base, cucumbers, avocado, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, and poke sauce. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I don't get downtown too often, but I was passing through to take some pics and was craving Ahi Poke, BAD. ( which is normal for me ) I usually make it at home. After struggling through the Hellacious effort of parking mid day WITH construction going on basically everywhere around the building, I finally park 5 blocks away and start hoofing it. It was very well worth the hoofing! I just got the standard Ahi Bowl. It was very well balanced in flavor and tasted great. It was all hooked up with everything from fish roe to sesame marinated cucumber, even seaweed salad wrapped around the rice. Legit. It's a small place with limited seating, but it seemed like most were just getting it to go. I ate there though. In this fancy white chair that matched nothing else in the interior. Lol! Good times. The service was kind of " whatever " ... oh well. It's not fine dining. Just a get it and bone out type of place. The only thing I was upset about was there weren't many Asian drink options if any at all that I saw. I was really wanting some iced green tea. All good though. The prices are actually very fair for what you get. I've paid waaaaaay more for an Ahi bowl than 9.25! I'll definitely be back. Check this spot out for a quick lunch for sure. Cheers y'all. read more

PokeHana - Ahi Poke Bowl. Very good. Love that it has seaweed salad on it. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Finally got a day off during the week to visit this restaurant, and I'm so pleased. If you're unfamiliar with Poke, they will walk you through it without making you feel like uncultured swine. I'm looking at you- chalky baby boomers It's very clean, the poke bowl was excellent, and the price is exactly right. A super plus is that the containers are absolutely reusable for packing lunches in the fUtUrE. If you're super picky or haven't worked up the nerve to try seaweed salad yet, you can customize your bowl but the Ahi bowl exactly the way it's presented on the menu is perfect- you should just go for it. read more
