Build Your Own Ultimate Bowl
Daryl E.

Shared building with a few other options. Was craving pokè, and although I was skeptical, because we're in the desert here.. I was impressed. Built my own bowl (ultimate) and got the ahi nachos appetizer; both very tasty, and with delicious sauces. Only issue (Very Minor) the poke bowl comes with a pretty hefty serving of rice - could have been a better toppings/base split.

Boss Bowl with chips

In town for an archery tournament with my son. He had never had a Poke bowl so we were driving by and saw this one and stopped by. Very unique even interesting decor. Hipster type place to an old fellow like me. Orders are taken at the counter and they make it right then. Very friendly folks Poke bowls come in three sizes. We got the middle size and it was plenty for each of us. Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Parking lot in rear.

Alright! It's about time I review Poke Poke! First off I've been coming to this restaurant since it originated near the university area.... Years and years and years, I'm a fan. Now I bought a house less than a mile from this location on Comanche and Wyoming. We come here a few times a month, always order the same thing because that's my jam. After visiting Hawaii, I can't get enough raw salmon and tuna! Make me a poke bowl and you'll have yourself a new regular. If you're not feeling poke, or raw fish, they offer tacos and taco bowls which is great, because there's always that one friend that won't do sushi . I've never tried the taco bowls, but let's be real, they are probably amazing. There's a little bar area where you can snag a local beer, OR they have a bombtastic tiki lounge part of the restaurant that'll make you a tiki drink.... THESE DRINKS ARE GREAT! They'll put you right in da island vibe! I'm a fan and I'm here to stay, so come get a bowl and enjoy this atmosphere.

This is definitely a down to earth place if you want to hang out with friends and family or just want to go study with the vibe of still feeling social. They have seating downstairs and upstairs. The menu is very extensive and you can also built your own. They have many options for desserts and we got the Oreo cheesecake and it did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious and prepared or cooked to perfection depending with the dish we ordered. I have to say I finished my entire bowl and I usually have left overs but it was too good to take left overs home! Definitely will be returning again with a much bigger appetite! Thank you for being amazing Poki Poki!

Custom Poke Bowl

One of my favorite lunch pick ups, Poki Poki is always a quick and fresh lunch option relatively close to my house. I always do a build your own bowl and have for years. Kind of figured out what my personal preferences with lots of trial and error. I usually do a large bowl so I can make it into two meals but it definitely needs to be a lunch and dinner same day kind of thing. I go for the white rice base, and then a variety of meat offerings, including shrimp and salmon. You can actually request that they do a specific amount of each meet. So for a large bowl you get 5 ounces and you can request one of shrimp two of salmon and two of tuna for example. And then always request for extra sauce on the rice just because I like it saucy. I do crab meat and edamame as my toppings. Then I also add cucumber, masago, and seaweed as well. Sometimes the top it off with a little spicy mayo, but again they have so many offerings and you can customize it just about however you want. They also have a dessert offering which includes some really yummy cheesecakes, and other items. I haven't gone to sit and hang out in a really long time but they've added a lot to the space over the last couple years. I believe they also do alcoholic beverages and such. I will know the prices have gone up over the years, but I understand your food is really expensive especially here in New Mexico.

I'm always a little nervous to try a new restaurant as a family since we all have different tastes…read moreand preferences. I had been wanting to try this place since they opened, and thankfully the family was onboard with trying somewhere new. The outside of the building is nothing special, but you can't always judge a book by its cover. As we entered, we were warmly greeted by multiple staff members and seated right away. We ordered the miso soup, teriyaki chicken, bulgogi beef, and dumpling sampler. We all sampled each other's dishes, and everyone loved the food. Everything was very flavorful with just the right balance of portions and ingredients. The service was excellent. Our drinks were constantly refilled, and we never went thirsty. The building is definitely older, and where this showed most was in the bathrooms. They could use a fresh coat of paint and a few updates. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely be back.

Overall: This is an excellent addition to the Chinese food in Albuquerque. The service is great,…read moreand the food is decent. Sushi including the sashimi plates are 50% Food: Dragon Roll: The roll was a nice size so that it could be eaten in 1 bite. Mini Sashimi Plate: The fish was fairly fresh tasting. This was included in the 50% off. Sesame Scallion Noodles: The noodles have a savory sesame scallion sauce coating it. It is very savory but also has a very heavy sesame flavor to it. Shrimp Fried Rice: They used short grain rice for the fried rice. It does have the wok char taste, but it is very oily (probably because they need more oil to prevent this type of rice from sticking together). There are nuts in it. Pan Fried Chicken Buns: This was the highlight of the dinner. These buns are handmade at the store and have a juicy chicken filling. Service: 5 Our waitress was super nice, but there was a little trouble in ordering due to the language barrier. Most of the food didn't take too long to come out besides the pan fried buns. Ambiance: 4 The restaurant is located in a quiet plaza. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant itself has a lot of booths and is fairly clean.

My husband got the miso soup and I wanted to try the egg drop chicken and corn soup. I enjoyed the egg, drop chicken corn soup it was like campbell's chicken noodle soup with some corn. My husband said his miso soup was ok. For main dishes my husband had sushi and I had the classic spicy pad thai. My pad thai was good and very reasonably priced I could not finish it and took home half. The sushi on the other hand was a bit expensive smaller portion and took a while for them to prepare it. My husband said it was mediocre and has had better sushi at other places in town and probably won't get sushi here next time. We heard that this place is closing so we hope to give it another try before they permanently close.

And sometimes when there's limited choice here I'll make do with what is available. Fortunately this place is great. You can order a single broth or a split pot. I usually go with the taiwan spicyy broth and one of the others. It's always good, regardless of what ingredients you order they'll pile the plate high. They offer tons of condiments and ice cream for desert. I've also ordered this as delivery which I thought was impossible. But they make it work. You order your broth (single flavor uless you get two orders of broth). You also order your ingredients and whatevder sides you want. I usually get beef, pork and meatballs. Rather than cooking yourself they come cooked in a container with a little brother and you add them at your leisure. I usually get the spicy chicken nuggets as a side and they are delicious. It's a huge portion of food and I almost always have leftovers. Great place!

First the food. It was absolutely fabulous. The appetizers were perfectly crispy and the sauce was not overpowering - they let the chicken do the talking. The broth was spicy but a little oily tasting. I was sweating the whole time which was awesome! The veggies, meats and mushrooms all had great flavor. This place was obviously using fresh ingredients. I'm sharing a copy of my bill so you can see that they itemize for things like the sauce/ ice cream bar as well as the cc fee. I like when restaurants do this because it means that they don't make everyone pay for things if they don't want those things. It means that this restaurant is going the extra mile to provide a good value. We were impressed and we'll be back for more awesome food and excellent service!

He went to the back to get a clean cutting board and knife and changed his gloves, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the other employee working with him did not seem to take my gluten allergy seriously. As my order was being prepared, he reached in front of the other employee and used his gloved hands instead of the serving spoons to grab items. He started with the crab (which is gluten-free) and then grabbed other items, cross-contaminating everything. When I noticed this, I asked that my food not be taken from those containers due to cross contamination. The employee preparing my food was very kind and went to get fresh containers. I watched my meal being made and felt comfortable eating it. Everything seemed safe, and the food was really good! I was just disappointed that one employee did not take cross contamination seriously. Since the menu is clearly marked with gluten-free items, I would expect staff to be properly educated on cross contamination.

At least a couple of times a month our family gets take out from here. My daughter loves the Sunny Cali roll with Tobiko and my wife usually joins me in the Nanchos. We usually do without the Salmon and double up on the Yellow Tail Tuna. The staff is always friendly and attentive and the restaurant has a very casual ambiance. Best for takeout or a quick meal on the go! For anyone looking to satisfy that sushi cravings on a budget, I highly recommend Sushi Freak!
