“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“Love this place! The food was delicious with amazing presentation. It's very clear the chefs put careful detail into every menu item and is one of the best veggie maki rolls I've ever had from a restaurant.

“We loved all the tropical plant life at Poke Okie Cafe

It really set a relaxing mood.

I got the 3-scoop poke bowl, it was thoroughly delicious!

My hubby got the roasted duck rice bowl, good but very dry.

We both got a Hawaiian sunshine smoothie- Big Mistake!

No, seriously.

They were amazing, but very filling. We could have gotten one and shared it.

Go to Pokie Okie!

“Lunch time was not crowded. Service was fast and efficient.

Tempura battered Brussels sprouts were pretty good - light crispy exterior with light batter and interior was cooked but not mushy

Hibachi salmon x 2 - carefully plated but lacking the usual shredded cabbage, maki, small salad or miso soup that completes bento boxes, especially given the price point of $19. Even for lunch this was a bit bare. The flavors were ok, a tad salty but the broccoli 🥦 balanced it out a bit.

Special roll was served on foil 🤨 , sushi rice was not quite right , but the fish had plenty of sauce and toppings so hard to tell the quality.

Overall, not the usually Japanese set but not bad.“

All of the staff that helped us were so informative and kind! The flavor in each selection was beyond this world. It was pricey but worth every single penny. I have never had a better experience in my life. The Omakase was EIGHT COURSES. Every one being perfectly curated. I cannot wait to go back.“
