Would have been nice if hours were updated on Yelp before I drove an hour to find out they were closed until September.

Nice, friendly staff

Place went super cheap. Change of ownership cut portions. Me and my friend was supposed to get 3 scoops of protein, and the server insisted he gave us 3 even though he gave us 2 scoops and a single cube. He shrugged and said "that's business". They cheapened the place so much that they don't even use lids anymore, they just plastic wrap the bowl... My friend asked what the reason was, and apparently it's for the environment? I mean I guess, but I need my food secured for to-go. I usually don't yelp but I had to for this place. I've spent at least $400 at this place for its Poke since it opened. It used to be really good and good portions. Now even the fish look sad, and they're freaking dead. Additionally, the place used to give out loyalty stamp cards. Every 10 stamps = 1 free bowl. Now, they don't even do that anymore. I guess giving out one free bowl for every $100 spent is too much money loss? What's even worse is that with these cut portions and plastic wrapped bowls, prices went up. Two medium bowls were previously around $24, and now they are $28. Me and my friend are out of here for real. Ever since it opened we have only seen it go downhill. If you want Poke in IV, go to PokeCeviche. If you are willing to go a little further out to PokeMee, do that too. Don't support this place and it's cheap owner.

The service is really good here really friendly staff! However, I feel the ahi shoyu was not very fresh it looked like it was set out for a too long of a time. Also the portions of proteins are smaller compared to other locations. Still one of the best poke places!

I like that they have different size options, but the fish portion and quality was not the best. The shoyu sauce also wasn't very flavorful.

Great Poke! I think they have the best Poke in IV - generous portions and friendly staff! I usually dont Yelp, but when I do, it's to commend the great job done and not to complain. Great Job Pokirito!

Went here today for maybe the 3rd time. I don't know how or why but my card declined with plenty of money left. Kinda embarrassing but the workers comped the rest of my total!! People might not like the food (I like it or else I wouldn't go right) but the service was great. It was busy and they were both working hard and not getting flustered!! Give these kids a raise! :)

The old PokiRito was f****** amazing. Easily my favorite restaurant in IV. Delicious, nutritious. However, for some reason, they have a new owner who is the human embodiment of Mr. Krabs. They completely gyp you on the proteins now. You literally get half of what you used to and it costs a dollar more. They also just stopped taking punch cards. Like wtf. I went in there today super excited to complete my card and they just cancelled it. This is all the owner's doing. I've seen this happen multiple times. The employees don't want things to be this way. I saw the pain in the eyes of the guy serving me my bowl today. He didn't want to do this but Mr. Krabs made him. PokiRito went from the best restaurant in IV to the shittiest. The bowl I just ate was actually 98% rice. I am irate. I am characteristically way too lazy to ever open yelp and write a review, but I am so flabbergasted and devastated by this utter tragedy that I re-downloaded the app just to write this. I long for a time where the old PokiRito comes back. I miss you

New manager is super cheap and is no longer accepting punch cards. Also, where there was previously 3 workers there is now 1 at times and service is slower. Miss the old pokirito! Will not be returning.

PokiRito has impressively good poke for the price. The fish is always fresh and tender. In my humble opinion, it blows PokeCeviche out of the water in terms of ingredient quality. The only reason that I am not giving PokiRito five stars is that the service is very inconsistent. I go about once a week, and sometimes the service is great. Other times, when I ask for only a little bit of green onions, they dump multiple spoonfuls on. They also only ask if you would like your bowl mixed occasionally. One time, I actually asked the employee to mix my bowl for me which they did not. The white rice is also super hot sometimes -- which can be a weird mix with cold raw fish. With all of this in mind, I do believe that PokiRito is a very delicious Poke place. Though the service is not amazing, I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy option.

Great Poki and the serving is quit large. It was fresh and delicious. Place is really clean and the kids are pretty attentive. Selections are great. Def a 5!

Not really a fan of Poke but my friend urged me to try it here. I actually really enjoyed it. When I've tried Poke before, the place had soggy looking fish. It was also hard to eat (chewy). Here is was tender and flavorful. Definitely try this place out
