Just ordered from Uber eats. I decided to give these guys a chance because I was really craving poke. Really regret it. They missed more than half of my toppings, and didn’t add any sauce which makes this entire bowl basically inedible. To top it off…. they put straight up raw onion in the bowl. That wasn’t even an option on the menu nor did I want it.
TLDR; Skip this place yall.
i ordered from uber eats. the ahi tuna was almost black, smelled & tasted absolutely rancid. i also paid extra for eel sauce and didn’t get any at all. i won’t order from this location again:/ i also ate some of that tuna before realizing so i hope i don’t get food poisoning lol
I swear I go almost everyday and there is staffing there that have absolutely no sense of urgency particularly on Sunday at noon and they run out of everything always because they don’t purchase on time or take out enough

I have been going to Poke Loa for years and was one of my favorite lunch spots while working in the CBD. I was away for a while and came back to the city, longing to have my regular bowl that I missed so much. However, the quality and service have gone downhill. Out of the last three times I've had a bowl, the flavors were lacking significantly, and on the last bowl, the spicy tuna and squid salad had a rancid taste to them. I ended up eating the rice and mix ins because it is pricy to get thrown away, but I think I'm done with them.

TL;DR: An adequate poke location to curb your craving. I wouldn't go out of my way to get there or to avoid it. Sad soda experience on this trip.
A new location, sameish Poke Loa. My wife and I are used to frequenting the Old Metairie location of Poke Loa, but I was in the area for this location when I got a BOGO text. So, I gave it a go. First off, good luck parking. My best advice on this regard is to park in the grocery lot across the street (if you're fortunate). Next, the location is nice, with more space and seating than I'm used to. The service is typical for fast food members that get paid a lower than average wage. I was disappointed on two accounts--1) there were no macadamia nuts on my trip and 2) I got a soda (a once a month or so occurance for me), but the diet coke had no syrup and the rootbear was flat. The flat root beer was discovered only after I had left and, given the irregularity of my getting soda, has hugely disappointing for me. Nevertheless, this was likely an anomaly. The food was typical. The only notable less-than-standard for the food was that several fish chunks were not severed all the way through (a forgivable offense on my account). The portion of seaweed was more generous than usual and was a nice surprise for me. Everything that I noted was clean; I didn't use the restroom.

The tuna is fresh and the seafood salad is amazing! Love the build-your-own bowl—there’s a lot of toppings to add for free.
The Poke bowls were absolutely amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

The new guys sit on a mat on the floor with no shoes eating with there hands I guess it’s part of their religion but it’s unsanitary they don’t wash hands or wear hair nets

They are understaffed at lunch time in my experience. If you have an online order, do not expect to get it anywhere close to the estimated time.
Super cute and clean in there, but unfortunately the fish was not fresh.

I've ordered from this location about 10 times, and not once have they prepared my order as described. I'm genuinely not exaggerating. After giving them so many chances, I felt it was only fair to share my experience.
