I enjoyed my visit to Southfin Southern Poké. The bowl was well put together, ingredients were fresh with the spicy toppings being spicy, the sweet ones being sweet, etc... I initially though a large bowl at $14.95 might be overpriced, but you definitely get bang for your buck, and it's more than enough of a portion to satisfy. The service was great, and since I pre-ordered I was able to use the drive up window to pick-up my order. I didn't really get a feel for ambiance since I took my order to-go, but they had some outdoor seating to enjoy your poké while soaking up some sun. I will definitely be returning as there are a ton of combinations that can be made between the main protein, toppings, and sauces that you won't quickly tire of poké bowls offered here. read more

My 2 scoop salmon bowl with zoodles and yuzu sauce was delicious, filling, and refreshing. This is one of the few places that has multiple meals I can eat while on the low FODMAP diet. If you are on the same diet I recommend these ingredients: salmon, seaweed salad, yuzu sauce, pineapple, radish, carrot, cucumber, zoodles, togarashi, and furikake. It is so crunchy and bright. The salmon was definitely fresh. I got a bad vibe however from the posted paper notice saying they were adding an 8% service charge to all orders due to increased costs. I'm not sure what the reason would be not to just change the menu prices on their digital board; the only conclusion I could think of was they wanted to still get people to start ordering by seeing the low prices, or that they didn't want to look like they had higher prices than other restaurants. This seems deceitful and I'm confused why they are the only raw fish-centered place I've seen doing something like this. Perhaps this is only very temporary. If there's more of an explanation I'd love to know more. read more

Southfin Southern Poké - Build your own salmon bowl and tuna bowl - Poke Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Notes: 1) been here many times 2) decent space for parking and seats 3) pretty stocked up in utensils and water Pros: 1) food is always fresh and good 2) service is always good 3) good ambiance Cons: 1) nothing really Rating: 5/5 The service is always good here. The parking and everything else is good. They are always stocked in their food and everything where getting food is quick and easy. The food is always fresh and tastes pretty good. The ambiance is good. This review is short because they usually are at the top of their game. I will say that it'll be pretty cool if they got more food options or had more deals or something but the restaurant is fine as is. read more

I love, love, love Southfin. I'd never had poké before and Southfin was the first place that I tried it years ago; I've been a fan ever since. It was my go-to spot for lunch on days when I need something quick and filling, but not too heavy. Now it's one of my must stop spots whenever I'm in town visiting family. The ingredients are always fresh and the staff is super kind and helpful. You can choose from one of the specialty bowls or build your own. No matter which option you choose, you get to pick your base (purple or white rice, mixed greens, sweet potato or zucchini noodles) and either two or three scoops of protein (tuna, salmon, shrimp, chicken, tempeh, crawfish, or octopus). My favorite is the spicy salmon salmon. It's sweet and spicy and crunchy with lots of yummy veggies (I like to add carrots and avocado when I'm feeling like a heartier meal). The honey sriracha and miso dressing work so good together and make the perfect sauce to accompany the salmon. I'm usually a sweet potato noodles type of gal, but I tried the purple rice recently and I dig it. I enjoyed that I got a better base to topping ratio with the rice; I always end up eating most of the noodles first and am left with lots of toppings. read more

Southfin Southern Poké - 2 scoop with tuna and salmon, with zoodles base. The zoodles were too skinny and I could barely even find them in my bowl - Poke Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Overall this restaurant is good but it's not as good as I'd hoped. I did order through DoorDash but that didn't affect the things that keep it from being all that and a bag of chips. First the tuna tasted fishy. Ahi tuna tasting fishy is a big no-no to me. Also, it was a little greasy tasting, The crawfish was good. The shrimp were good. But I asked for the honey wasabi mayonnaise on the side and it was right smack dab all over my food. So I can't save it for leftovers and I'm less than pleased. Not only does that make leftovers not usable but raises the calories. Grr. It's possible that that is what made the ahi taste greasy but I don't think so read more

I LOVE Southfin's Poké bowls! I ordered the Classic Poké Bowl with zoodles as my base. I then added mango, edamame, and seaweed salad--it was so good! This was my first time at this location, and it was a pretty good experience! However, they didn't look open (a bunch of chairs were stacked on top of tables in the middle of the day with only one light on), so we almost drove away. read more

This original location of Southfin introduced me to the Hawaiian Poké Bowl! A Poké is a easy to enjoy dish that consists of a base, a protein, and veggies with sauces and seasonings on top. The bases range from rices and noodles to greens. The proteins most bowls involve are sushi grade fish, but there is also chicken for those who want something cooked instead. Then the veggies include a wide assortment of options. If this seems like too many choices, don't panic! There are a number of pre-planned options you can order like the Classic, the Luau, the Wasabi, the Chicken and the Spicy Salmon. Southfin maximizes the local ingredients. One of my favorites is the purple rice. This is a variety developed and grown here in Louisiana, and it is my favorite base. With a drink, your bowl becomes a complete meal. So drop in and try something new, light, and heathy! They are now serving Hawaiian Shaved Ices for desert, which is a very different thing than a snow cone. These magnificent desserts are like actual snow, topped with a variety of sweet things. They can certainly satisfy your sweet tooth, and cool you off as well. read more

Southfin is probably the best poke I have had in Baton Rouge. The ingredients are so fresh and delicious you really can't go wrong! When COVID began they switched to delivery or pickup only and the day after I got a personal text from the owner (got number from ordering system) thanking me for supporting local during a trying time. I have never been disappointed and LOVE the healthy zoodle option personally! I an not a zoodle person but for me, it works in poke perfectly! read more

The first time eating Poke outside my beloved California and I've got to say I was well pleased with this place. It was clean, bright, and the food was very good. This pace is off very busy street and easily missed if you're not paying attention. Decor-ship/aquatic decor with ship steering wheels and netting adorn the walls along with their merchandise for sale. They have outside patio for outdoor dining as well. Service-was good, cant say I was greeted with a smile but hey they served me my food and took my form of payment. A smile would have been nice, not gonna lie. Food-I ordered the spicy salmon with brown rice and zucchini noodle base. It was pretty good, I loved the amount of spice on salmon(I still added Sriracha). All the toppings were perfect and I specially enjoyed the mango and avocado. I will definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

disappointing and overpriced. quality is subpar. not really sure how this place has 4.5 stars. rice wasn't sticky or fresh, it was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. fish didn't taste fresh either. don't waste your money read more

This build your own bowl place has a college vibe, and is a bit less pricey than some others of its ilk. It doesn't offer quite as much either, but still certainly wasn't bad. Their website claims it combines the Hawaiian poke bowl with "traditions of the Gulf South", but I'm quite confused as to what makes it "southern". Throw me a red beans and rice poke bowl, or some fried okra or a remoulade sauce and we'll talk. What it does have, unlike the other Poke Bowl places that have sprouted up all over, is tempeh instead of tofu for its vegetarian option, which I rather like. I never have much success preparing tempeh on my own, but they did a decent job of it. A combination of purple rice with a sauce and various toppings made for a decent bowl, albeit not a large one. There are many premium toppings for an extra charge, but the basic selection was not as good as I've had elsewhere, and the atmosphere here was pretty basic as well, just a regular strip mall fast food place, unlike some of the highbrow poke bowl spots in New Orleans. So at the end of the day, it's fine enough, but didn't blow me away. read more

The food was ok. Nothing I couldn't do at home really. I have actually made seafood bowls that taste better. It wasn't worth the money honestly. read more

Southfin Southern Poké is a excellent choice if you are looking for some really fresh seafood. My go-to is the Luau Bowl. The fresh tuna is extremely tender and the shrimp give the bowl a great contrasting texture. I really enjoy the sweet mangos and crunch of the macadamia nuts but almost always add advocado for extra flavor. Since the onset of COVID, I miss going into Southfin because the restaurant has a great pacific vibe and is very clean. They also have really tasty rice crispy treat bites that I can never pass up! Southfin has a decent selection of beer and wine inside if you re interested in partaking in an adult beverage while dining. Definitely recommend popping into Southfin Southern Poké if you haven't already done so, it's a really great location in Baton Rouge. read more

I've only been here twice, but both times were really just okay. I've been to tons of poké places, and all of them in my opinion have been better than Southfin. I don't find Southfin's poké to have very much flavor and there aren't as many topping options as some of the other places I've been to. It's also a bit more expensive than other places and the last time I came here the service was absolutely horrible. The girl who was helping me was so rude and was rushing me the entire time. On top of that, the fish and vegetable toppings were prepared horribly. I had HUGE chunks of fish and onions, like they didn't even bother to chop them up at all. It makes me wish there were more places to get poké in BR because for me, Southfin doesn't hit the spot. read more

I've been really eager to get over here to try Southfin in person, and it certainly did not disappoint! The atmosphere is bright and light, carefree much like the Hawaii islands. I was craving poke, and they certainly know how to make it well. I went back and forth on building my own bowl, but I decided to try one of theirs. I chose the spicy salmon with purple rice base. Thinking back, i would get the zucchini noodles instead, but next time, it's a go! The regular bowl was very filling and satisfying. The spiciness is there, and honestly, there was just a little too much sauce in there that it overpowered the salmon. I would have liked the salmon flavor to be a little more prevalent. The staff was super friendly and made recommendations. The line moved quickly. They even have a delightful craft beer selection. I can't wait to go back and try something else, maybe even throw together my own creation! This poke is okay! (get it....see what I did there!?) Just go get some! read more

Southfin Southern Poké - Spicy salmon bowl with a side of Holy Roller - Poke Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Officially my new go-to in Baton Rouge. I had this placed bookmarked for a little while, and I was trying to figure out what to eat last Saturday. I was scrolling through restaurants on Yelp and Southfin popped up, and I decided to hop over and check the place out. Boy, am I glad I went for it. I got the classic during my first visit and it was very tasty. I pulled up the menu on the website while I sat outside enjoying the weather and my poke, and plotted my future visits. I think I'm just going to try going down the list of menu items until I run out of options, and then I'll do repeats or build my own. This place is also very close to where I stay when I'm in BR so I am very, very excited. :) read more

Southfin Southern Poké - The classic - Poke Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

So excited about this new place! Saw all the great reviews and pics from people I know and finally convinced my coworkers to join me for lunch today. Luckily, we got there shortly after they opened because when we left at 12:30, the line was literally out the door! So to start with, this place has immediate appeal from the exterior. Just has a clean and fun look to it. Simple logo that definitely reminds you of the ocean or Hawaii for that matter. It's even cuter on the inside. Very simple design but just a crisp and clean feel to it. I absolutely love the table with the planter box along the middle! I also love that they have a bar menu to go along with the simple food menu. The service was great too. A worker met us at the door to go over the menu and welcome us. Very helpful since I'd never had poke before and had no clue what I was walking into! My favorite part is probably just that this is another place that prepares the food right in front of you. Think Subway or Izzo's Illegal burrito but with super fresh seafood and other fun ingredients like mango and macadamia nuts - a couple of my favorites. It's basically a food bowl that you can design your own or order one of the specialty ones (like the delicious Luau that I tried today). The menu is laid out really well, which makes it easy to decide and not overwhelming as the concept may sound. Overall, I cannot wait to return. Southfin is owned by the same group that owns the local City Pork locations, so that should tell you something about how great it is! I also hope that means that it'll stick around and perhaps one day open another location close to my end of Baton Rouge. I didn't even get to taste or review any of the yummy drinks they offered. More reasons to return! Spread the word and come check it out if you haven't yet! read more

(Former employee) I worked at Southfin sporadically between 2017-2020 the coworkers were always amazing. I made friends forever there. The owner cares about his community. The food is great, the people are great and if ur looking for a healthy restaurant in Baton Rouge this is the top of the slim pickings. If you're a regular you're family and if you're new to the place anyone will treat you as a regular. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks. They do have a secret former "bowl of the month menu" ask about it! 10/10 would recommend. read more

I was in the middle of planning a meeting with some ladies when they suggested we come here. Well, since I'm not a fan of raw fish, I quickly became nervous but decided to go with it. Well, wasnt I surprised! They have cooked food! I ordered the chicken poke bowl and was seriously impressed. I was actually so impressed I came back twice in two weeks. I then even started adding crawfish to my chicken poke bowls which made them even better. I love the decor of the restaurant too. It's so...beachy? Bright and airy. Pretty good food choice here except it's a little pricey. Lunch for one, plus a drink can easily run you about $15... read more

My first poké experience was a good one! We stopped in for dinner one night. I'll start by saying that the decor and feel of the place is super cool. I love that they had boat cleats as their cabinet handles. Lots of cute nautical but modern touches. The ordering was efficient and the workers super friendly. I got a spicy salmon bowl. I asked to hold the mango because I'm not a fan, and they actually let you substitute other things for it which is nice. I got some seaweed salad instead. My husband built his own bowl. He was wary about the whole poké concept but he really enjoyed his bowl. The bowls don't seem as huge as they actually are! It was a ton of food, but it was so fresh that it didn't feel overwhelming. Both of our bowls were delicious. I was also tempted to try one of their cocktails, and the Coco Mojito was really refreshing. Now that they are serving boba drinks, I'll have to return very soon! read more

I still stick to what I believe in my old review, but this is pertaining to my recent visit to try their newly added boba drinks. They are offering Thai tea, taro, matcha, and a satsuma flavored milk tea with tapioca balls. Not trying to hate, but the new boba drinks for $3.50 for the size I bought was a little ridic. It could also be that I had an extremely high ice to taro drink ratio (see picture). I finished the drink before I even got to the red light down the street at Acadian.. Never in my entire life have I seen boba for that price for the amount given. Quite frankly I felt a little ripped off comparing this boba to the other several places in town. To my surprise, I thought the drinks would be made to order, but it's already been pre-made and sitting there. Overall it had a good taste and the boba was nice and chewy, but it's not worth the price. read more

Staff was super vibrant and friendly. The food looked super fresh. Seafood is local they also have alcohol- so they make their own drinks- Ima have to try one. I did a build my own bowl with salad mix. Tuna and shrimp. Cucumber carrots and red cabbage I think. Then I did a special topping of mango and crab salad- they could do a little better with their crab salad or their portion of the avocado. Then I did crispy shallots. I forgot what sauces I got it was a mix the guy recommended and it was pretty good. I would 100% come back! read more

I'm so happy the poke scene has made it to Baton Rouge ! It is my favorite thing to eat currently, so I hope it keeps expanding, and by the amount of people there was eating here I bet it will. I love poke and have had many a poke bowls, and I liked my bowl here but I didn't love it. I never pick a menu item when I eat poke bowls, usually I do build your own. This time I decided to try the spicy salmon bowl, safe to say I won't be ordering it again. The bowls here are also the most expensive poke bowls I have ever bought it was over $17 dollars with tax and tip plus the $1 up charge for krab salad (which I think is ridiculous) Just like any poke place you pick your base, I got white rice. It tastes old and it was hard. I don't know how because we got there a few minutes after opening. It must have been from the night before though. I did sample the purple rice and that definitely is not for me in a poke bowl either. The only thing I truly enjoyed in my bowl was the salmon, the Krab salad which was awesome, and the spicy mayo I got on the side. The sauce that came with the bowl was really sweet and I didn't enjoy it. Why 4 Stars then? The fish was fresh and they gave a decent amount, and I know I could go there and build a bowl I like if they fix their rice. The staff was super friendly, and the location is great for a stop after my weekly shopping trip to Trader Joe's down the road. read more

Service wasn't the greatest with the girl that was creating our bowl, also overcharged an unexpected service fee (8%). Also the girl charged for a 3 scoop bowl when stated that I ordered a 2 scoop bowl. They were out of salmon when i went so that was a bummer but I understand things happen. I've been before and had a great experience it was just today service was not there! read more

Wow... this review just went from a 3 star to a 1. I decided to give this place a second chance after they mixed like 5 sauces together in my poke bowl (first pics; obviously for a to go order you put the sauce on the side... duh) making it all soggy and soupy. Now they put the sauces in containers like I asked.... IN the Poké container. Who the hell is this place hiring? Just put the sauces in containers and place them in the bag... I know they don't require an astrophysics degree to work here but come on guys. If you want sauce with your poke get ready to either be eating soggy mush or have less food and containers that have been touched by employees touching your food (less poke for you)... do better Southfin... read more

We wanted poke so my brother in law who was in town said he would drive to go get some for us. He accidentally went to the Perkins location instead of the Siegen location... what a mistake. I forget that this location doesn't prioritize rice and it always tastes like it was left in the refrigerator over night. Old, cold rice is the just the worst when it comes to a poke bowl. I know restaurants are hurting during covid, but if you can't serve good rice, don't serve poke bowls. I've been to the Perkins location several times and seem to always be disappointed, but I will say that the new Siegen location has been great! read more
