This was my First time attending Poke Doke! Upon entering the staff greeted me made me aware of what was not available and when it would be which was just a few moments. Big thumbs up for communicating to your customers Effectively. I ordered a regular bowl of brown rice with three protein(tuna, salmon, and shrimp) some toppings the mild ponzu sauce eel sauce and spicy mayo, all I was missing was the avocado, but this was definitely so good to me! <3 The store did not have a stinky fish smell or any bathroom smell. The restaurant was clean the staff was nice and the food didn’t have any weird or awkward taste. The sauces have so much flavor set the bowl off. I’ll be back!

I've stopped going to other Poke Places because I enjoy the food here so much! Always fresh and always delicious.
Interesting that most of the negative reviews are from the delivery services..

I have eaten here before And this time will be the last. I generally DoorDash Today it arrived hot and the fish was green and blue with a strong odor. Called the shop they said “ ok I’ll tell the fish chef “ and then hung up on me. They offered no solutions. Thankfully I noticed it before I ate it.

This is one of my go-to places! Their food is always good and it’s cool to see them branch out and add more items to the menu. I was so excited when they added cupbap! 100% recommended!

I placed my order through DoorDash, I asked for a bowl where it specified the sauces on one side, on the contrary it seems that they did not even bother to see my specifications and they gave me a sauce that I had not even asked for, the bowl has good flavor, but they also did not bother to put napkins and chopsticks. Maybe I should not order from this place anymore, I never usually leave reviews but this one deserves it. Very bad service.

The recent changes you made are pure crap. The reason I came to this location was for the albacore. Now you don't offer it! And the new set up is so impersonal. I rather talk to the workers while they make my bowl. Now the process is longer for no reason. Also, the menu you printed out that we mark up doesn't even have all the options available. Lastly, give the young lady that worked tonight (2/22/25) more hours. She's great. Friendly and learns her customers likes and preferences. The other workers never made me feel special like this worker does.

I wasn't sure about my order so I asked them to make it better if they knew any which way, and they did and were very thoughtful leaving me a note. Very high quality fish very high quality food and nice people, like Faith who made my order. I love them.

I’ve ordered twice from this restaurant on UberEats and both times I had a horrible experience. I have issues with eating and I only order food online if I’m feeling averse to anything I can make at home so both times I’ve ordered here, it’s been because it’s my only option and I have a lot riding on getting my food. That much isn’t the restaurant’s fault but definitely made my experience more intense.
The first time I ordered from this restaurant, my mom and I ordered medium poke bowls with only mild poke sauce. When we got our order, both bowls were covered in a ridiculous amount of plain mayonnaise. My mom was able to still eat her bowl but mayonnaise is one of very few foods that is a sensory nightmare for me and I was completely unable to eat my meal. They didn’t fill our requests for two scoops of krab but that was a much lesser issue.
Today was the second time I ordered from this restaurant. I remembered this being the restaurant that covered my bowl with mayonnaise last time but I figured it was either some kind of mistake, or I had accidentally selected something on my order. I was extremely careful to read through everything and made sure I didn’t select anything but mild poke sauce. I also made notes asking for double krab and masago if it was possible and ordered a peach tea. Since the restaurant is somewhat of a drive away, I asked for them to remove the ice if possible. When I got my order, the first thing I noticed was that the tea did have ice in it. I know people often ask for no ice as a sneaky way to get more of the drink and there’s a chance they make the tea fresh to order and need ice to cool it down, so I wasn’t too surprised about that. Luckily, when I tried the tea it was still delicious, wasn’t watered down, and wasn’t too sweet. After that, I opened the bag and I’m embarrassed to say I was still shocked when I saw the same heavy layer of plain mayonnaise on my bowl. I tried to scrape it off but it was layered in between the fish and toppings so there was no way to really do that. I even tried tasting the mayonnaise and seeing if it was tolerable because nothing else sounded edible but unfortunately, I am still very averse. I genuinely cannot fathom how this wasn’t some kind of one-time mistake. I understand that online orders can probably be confusing to read, but plain mayonnaise wasn’t even listed as a sauce option and from reading other reviews online, I haven’t seen anyone mention this problem at all. I also noticed that they didn’t fulfill my request for double krab or double masago and that’s when I realized, I don’t think they read order specifications at all. 100% of the orders we have made have had special instructions that were completely ignored that every other poke place i have visited has had no issue with. I would love to try ordering again and specifying that I don’t want any mayonnaise, because it would be wonderful to have a poke place in delivery range, but I have no confidence that I would get anything different. Also, I tried to eat a few pieces of tuna that were mostly free of mayonnaise and they just weren’t very good. Nothing I wouldn’t have been able to eat but almost certainly the worst tuna i’ve received at a restaurant.
Overall, incredibly disappointed with this restaurant, at least for online orders. Both times I’ve ordered, they’ve added something that makes it inedible to me without asking and I’ve just wasted my money. I also think it’s strange that the restaurant is listed as “poke and sushi” on ubereats when the address is clearly the same. My only guess is that this restaurant doesn’t really care about ubereats orders so they haven’t put too much thought into maintaining it. either way, incredibly disappointing experience.
