AMAZING. Best poke bowls around, hands down. The portions were generous, ingredients were fresh, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I love that you can pick 3 scoops of protein - the spicy and ahi tuna were phenomenal. And no extra charge for toppings such as avocado was out of the norm but very appreciated. Can't wait to come back here. read more

Looking for a light dinner while traveling & came across Poki Bowl. It's quick service so order at the counter & choose your bowl toppings. It's not a fancy place. There's several tables for dine in but at that time of day, I noticed that most of the orders were take out. My bowl was very generous & tasty. The ingredient were all very fresh. Great choice for a lighter meal when you're near the hospital area. read more

Poki Bowl - Large Bowl with salmon, spicy tuna & yellowtail - Poke Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I had one last Attractions Book coupon to use for here and was craving poki, so I ran over for lunch. I had the three scoop protein bowl with salmon. Everything tasted great, and the young lady who made my bowl did an awesome job with the sauce- some places put only a little sauce on your bowl, which means by the bottom of the bowl, there's no sauce left. She put on a generous amount so that by the time I was at the bottom, my food still had sauce on it! read more

I wanted to check this place out and a friend agreed to go with me. We both enjoyed our "choose your own" bowls. The servers were patient and explained our options. There was a special for the medium size bowls, and we were more than satisfied with the portions. This isn't a place you go for ambiance, but the weather was nice so we sat outside. read more

Poki Bowl - Med. bowl, 1/2 lettuce, 1/2 rice, tuna + too many toppings to list! Delicious! Cold coffee w/brown sugar bobba, not bad, but not my favorite - Poke Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

The menu tells you the steps on how to order. You'd get to choose 3 different proteins and have unlimited toppings. There are a side of Carolina style kettle chips for an additional price as well as boba smoothies and macarons from Mon Macaron in Raleigh. Boba ingredients are from Bossen and their mayo sauce uses Japanese Kewpie mayo. I ordered a coffee boba smoothie, espresso macaron, and a regular size bowl with half brown rice and half greens with yellowtail, salmon, shrimp, cucumber, onions, and all the toppings (green onions, avocado, crap, Masago, Wasabi, ginger, edamame, seaweed salad, seaweed mix, sesame seeds) with a mild sauce and a Poki spicy sauce. Everything was great and fresh but I was still a little hungry after so guess I will have to do the large size next time. Only downside is that it is pricey. The service was great and we enjoyed chatting with the owner Mike. Indoor seating only. read more

I ordered a Regular Bowl (3 Scoops) -- spicy tuna, salmon, octopus-- 1/2 brown rice, 1/2 mixed greens -- spicy sauce to mix with protein, onion, cucumbers -- Unlimited toppings!! I picked mango, edamame, 1/2 of a perfect avocado, ginger, masago, green onion, spicy poki sauce, fried onion, and dried seaweed seasoning -- there were a TON of other toppings as well. The rice was perfect! All of the proteins -- perfect! Sooo excited to see OCTOPUS!! Everything was so fresh, especially singling out the mango, avocado, and mixed greens. I also ordered a mango milk tea with tapioca boba -- totally hit the spot. This place is a gem. I don't come here often because I try not to eat out a lot BUT absolutely no guilt eating here -- unlike the other alternatives on the way home from work. It might be a little pricy BUT the ingredients are pricy -- seafood and produce. This huge bowl took a while to eat with my chopsticks, which is great for digestion -- I am not hovering my food. I savored every bite...and I was FULL!!! Love this place!! Please don't go anywhere...unless you want to expand to Oak Island/Southport!! read more

What a nice surprise to find that a Poki Bowl opened up in Wilmington! I'm originally from the Bay Area, so I'm super familiar with their original location (and it's one of my favorite spots to get a poke bowl!). If you're not familiar with poke, it's cubed sashimi that is traditionally mixed with onions, cucumber & sauce. Hawaiian poke has many styles, but usually come pre-mixed which is one of the reasons why I love this spot bc you can create your own bowls (think chipotle). My favorite bowl usually includes ahi tuna & hamachi but I mixed it up recently and did ahi tuna and salmon. The sauce options are the bomb here. The spicy option is like a soy/ponzu situation and the heat level is perfect (a little less hot than hot Cheetos). The toppings are the best, and i love that they are all included, so you can really make your bowl your own. I will definitely be back and I'm stoked for this addition to the ILM foodie scene. read more

Went jn for a bowl Sunday afternoon. The girl at the counter was friendly but busy for a few so I had to wait which is fine. I noticed the sashimi didn't look fresh and not well kept so I politely walked out. No hate towards the business just hopefully they improve read more

So delicious! The half rice half greens option is great, healthy and very filling. Love that avo is included!

Very nice and helpful staff who walked us through the process of building our bowl. Food was fresh and delicious, the poki sauce was a nice touch. The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere and was very modern and clean. I will definitely be back read more

I was hoping for a better bowl. Fish was very fresh. Lacking in toppings. Bowl had unseasoned sushi rice and had some heat but no flavor at all. Hopefully a learning curve because I love the location!!! read more

I was hoping for a much better meal here, today. I came with my son and friend. Being the poke lover that I am, I was looking forward to trying to new poke place in town. It is located in the Henry's shopping center and has a giant flag sign out front to let you know that it is there. Upon entering, there is a large dining area and we were greeted immediately. The General Manager took her time to explain every detail and every step of the process. She was awesome! I was very impressed with the whole system and the options that were available. They had many more fish options than I was used to seeing at a poke place. They had yellowtail, spicy tuna, salmon, octopus, ahi tuna, shrimp, and tofu. The prices were great and I was so ready to dive in. You can choose a base from brown or white rice, chips (nachos), or mixed greens. I loved this option and chose to do the brown rice and spring mix. I tried ahi tuna, salmon, octopus and yellowtail. You can make it mild to very spicy with an oil they mix it with. I chose spicy. Then comes the toppings. I absolutely loved how the toppings included avocado , seaweed salad and masago for free. That is definitely a plus!! At the end you can get their miso sauce or spicy Mayo and sriracha. My bowl was HUGE and I couldn't wait to dig in. At this point, With the service, cleanliness of the restaurant, price, and choices, I am thinking this will be my new go to restaurant. Well, that's when things got worse. The taste was not good. None of us thought so. The rice was warm and that didn't mix well with the lettuce and lukewarm fish. The fish was not fresh tasting. It really had no taste. It was very bland altogether other than the heat from the oil. I wish they had more sauce choices to choose from and that the temperature was consistent. The fish were way to warm. My friend said the shrimp tasted frozen and reheated. We all that is was just average and that other poke places in town blow this out of the park. The GM came over and asked how it was and I told her that I loved how the toppings were free. I really wish ANY of us liked it more. The amount of rice/fish ratio was underwhelming. And I even had a half portion of rice. I think people will like it here and I think that it will do well. This was just not the place for me. I prefer sashimi to be full of taste and for more fresh spices on the food - like cilantro. Nothing seems fresh at all. read more
