Poke Island Plus Vietnamese Cuisine, Sushi & Boba

Pho not good

Best spot in the area for sushi, boba and their bao buns are some of the best I've had. Everything comes packed with flavor and always fresh. I've been here 3 times this week

I originally planned to go to Fresh Kitchen, but I noticed this Poké bowl spot nearby and decided to give it a try. Big mistake.

When I walked in, there was no one at the counter — I waited a few minutes, which was fine at first. But when a staff member finally came out from the back (after grabbing a to-go order), he completely ignored me, even though I was standing right in front of him. He just went about his tasks until I had to ask, “Is this where I order?” Only then did he acknowledge me and take my order.

Now for the bowl…
I didn’t ask for extra sauce — I simply wanted my sauce on the side — but they wanted to charge me extra for that. Which I declined and had it put on the bowl and there is barely any sauce on my bowl. They also charge extra for cream cheese, yet the portion they give you is laughably small.

Overall, this place is overpriced, poorly managed, and lacks basic customer service. I won’t be back. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this place is gone the next time I head to Fresh Kitchen.

I also decided to review past reviews and see that the response on ALL the low reviews are extremely attacking. Never do they apologize or take any responsibility which speaks more about the business. i suggest you look and read yourself!

Quick service, fresh food. Lunch with my daughter. Love it...

My wife and I love coming to Poke Island. We have tried other poke spots, and none of them compare to Poke Island. The food is fresh, and authentic. We are never disappointed. Everything is delicious. The staff is friendly and we will continue to come back!

First time ordering a Poke Bowl from Poke Island Plus and all I can say is WOW the best I've had, I will for sure will be a repeat customer.

The food here is always great, there is lots of variety for toppings, and there are also several pre-made bowl options if you have trouble deciding. The boba is also great, and they make it quickly. You can sit inside or outside, or take it to go. Great option for lunch or dinner!

Excellent food! I got the poke bowl with fried chicken and everything was delicious, fresh and flavorful! 10/10

Great food, and better people! The team here are so friendly, and efficient. Even during a busy rush, they greet every customer and serve accurate orders with great quality and service. These guys know what they’re doing and I’m a returning regular who loves this place.

The poke ingredients are my go-to, but I also try their appetizers from time to time and I’m never disappointed. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

A poke bowl made in a burrito… Wow! So creative and it was delicious! I will definitely be a repeat customer here! It has a wonderful atmosphere, very clear menu and delicious ingredients. The staff was also very kind. The service was very quick, no wait for the food or boba tea. The boba tea tastes delicious as well. 5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My kids and I recently had the pleasure of dining at poke island plus a wonderful family-owned gem in our community. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm, inviting atmosphere that only comes from a place run with heart and dedication. The staff was incredibly friendly, treating us like family, and it was clear they genuinely cared about our experience.

The food was exceptional, crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that made every bite memorable. Sushi burrito, pho and my kids favorite boba tea are so delicious, with flavors that showed true care and passion. It’s clear that the family behind poke island plus takes pride in what they serve.

Supporting this restaurant doesn’t just mean enjoying a fantastic meal; it means helping a local family continue doing what they love. I highly recommend Poké island plus to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, great service, and food that leaves a lasting impression. It’s a local treasure I’m excited to support!

We stopped by for lunch on the weekend. Rainbow bowl with rice. Krab bowl on salad. Furikake with spicy mayo fries. Worth the stop. Restaurant was clean. Employees were friendly. Food was fresh!
