I LOVE this place. I could eat it every day. Even if you aren't a fan of raw fish, they have cooked options, endless combinations and killer boba! It's such a versatile, light yet filling meal. I can't ask for more than that!

It's always so clean and the food is such a refreshing change from everything else offered in the area. My biggest hesitation was if they had options that weren't fish because I'm not a big fan of fish. They have chicken and spam! If you haven't given this place a try, stop in! Their milk tea is so good, too!

Pokemoto in Derby is awesome! The bowls are super fresh, packed with flavor, and you can customize them just how you like. The boba tea is a must-try too—so good!
The staff is friendly and helpful, and the whole vibe is chill. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving something light, tasty, and different.

The poke was delicious, and they had lots of toppings to choose from. The service was top notch! They took their time to explain everything, gave recommendations, and even let you sample toppings and sauces.

I’ve been to a lot of poke places, but Pokemoto stands out as the best I’ve tried so far. They offer more selections than any other poke spot I’ve visited—tons of protein options, mix-ins, toppings, and sauces that let you customize your bowl exactly how you like it. Whether you’re a first-timer or a poke pro, you’ll appreciate the variety.
What really impressed me was the portion size. You get a generous amount of food and protein for the price, which makes it a great value. You definitely won’t leave hungry!
Be sure to try the Aloha sauce—it’s a game-changer. Just the right balance of sweet and savory, and it pulls everything together perfectly. The staff will also allow you to sample sauces or other ingredients before choosing, which was a nice touch.
Speaking of staff, the customer service is top notch. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, happy to explain the ingredients and offer suggestions. It didn’t feel rushed at all, and you could tell they genuinely care about your experience.
If you’re craving poke, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back!

I got curious about Pokémoto after a suggestion was made to try the food…DAMN I’M GLAD I WENT!!! Walking into this place, immediately greeted and was asked if this was a first time visit. I said yes and was given a tour on how they prepared there Poké bowls and was also offered samples too! Never been in a restaurant that did that before! The owner helping me was fantastic; super nice, looks and acts like they enjoy what they do! Place was cute walking in and smelled amazing! Food looks fantastic! The food and drink I ordered was amazing! The service was fantastic!!! The atmosphere is cute and simple! Definitely eating food here often!
The place is really cute and clean! Immediately walking in we were greeted by the owner who walked us through the process and menu options, he let us try samples and was incredibly friendly! As someone who eats plant based it can be a struggle to find options, not here! This place had so much to choose from, and the food was delicious! Also, the milk tea is AMAZING!! I 100% recommend this place!

The food is really good and the customer service is wonderful. But the derby location doesn’t open until 12 making it difficult to get lunch here.

Not very good. First time I tried this place I didn’t care for it but figured it might have been a fluke. Second time trying it was today and won’t go back. Didn’t taste fresh either time - seaweed salad was funky as well as the tuna and salmon. The staff was friendly though and the place was clean. Just not my cup of tea.

I was so excited to try Pokemoto! Although I'm unfamiliar with the many ingredients that went into making my bowl even my drink, I was overwhelmed with delight and will definitely be back to experiment with more combinations.
Good food good service.
