Ran out of Item did not inform me. If I had known I would have had them put something else in. I also ordered a taro boba. It was brown, when asked about it they said it WAS taro after having a sip it turned out to be unsweet milk tea. I never like to call restaurants out but this is unacceptable.

Moving my reviews over from Yelp. This was the ROTD in St Louis on 4/16/19:
I've had Poke a few different places around the country but none have them have been in coastal areas. That said, I don't know that the sashimi-grade fish used in Poke is going to vary a lot as I believe most of it is brought in frozen. Salmon and tuna are pretty run-of-the-mill these days and the rest of the stuff offered is pre-cooked. Besides, truly magnificent fish has no business being doused in sauce, co-mingled with a dozen ingredients and then squirted with even more sauce.
I had a small bowl for $10. There were a lot of choices to be made and I started with the white sushi rice then selected the salmon & octopus for my proteins, added edamame (not listed as a protein but it is), sliced cucumbers, masago, wasabi, ginger, fake crab, fried onions, seaweed salad, a shot of eel sauce and a dash of sesame seeds to complete the dish. I wouldn't say that it had the eye appeal of a well-made plate of nigiri or sashimi but you can't get either of those for ten bucks.
What should be fresh was fresh. What should be crisp was crisp. What should be...was. Everything was competently made and the overall bowl was delicious. While Poke is really not a substitute for sushi or sashimi in my book it is a good way to enjoy some of the same ingredients and you walk away full but not stuffed.
I've yet to reach the pinnacle of Poke available in the US but I do believe that PokeDoke puts out a very respectable product at a fair price and it is better than any of the other places I've tried thus far.

Thrilled to have Taiwanese breakfast option in St. Louis. Service was a bit slow because all the food was made to order. And they were busy! They were extremely kind and food was delicious. Highly recommend.

I was excited to try the Taiwanese breakfast offered here (marketed as Papa Shih's) on Saturdays because it’s unheard of in St. Louis. I drove 30 minutes from the county for this.
The owner was super nice but the food was very bad for the price. I guess I shouldn’t have expected too much since it’s St. Louis.The beef sesame flatbread was nothing like it’s supposed to be. The flatbread was cold and there were literally two thin slices of cold beef inside for $10. It’s supposed to be hot and filled with meat, not cold. I probably should have asked them to warm it up but I didn't want to complain.
I could get more meat for $10 from Tai Ke or another restaurant. I spent $25 on 3 items and still somehow did not feel full. I thought it would be better quality since they only make it on Saturdays. Please do better as I really love Taiwanese breakfast. St. Louis Asian restaurants continue to be disappointing, unfortunately.

While my husband had surgery I took off for a quick bite. POKE DOKE was amazing. I had the KANAAGA BOWL with teriyaki mayo. I highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite.

FOOD WAS SOOO yummy and the employees were so sweet and helpful with picking out the ingredients for our bowls
Kahyrah was AMAZING! Her warmth and welcoming demeanor made me feel excited to order (even though I came in right before closing!). She walked me through the menu and gave phenomenal suggestions.
The food of course was delicious. But the service was out of this world!
Thanks Kahyrah!

Extremely mid place to eat. They charge for every little thing including sauces and veggies. Employees made it more complicated than it needed to be. I had asked to use the restroom and they had already locked it up and just told me they would not open it up for me and that they were closed.

Phenomenal! Kahyrah welcomed us with a friendly smile and demeanor from the moment we walked in (although it was only 30 minutes from close, as we found out). She helped walk us through our options for ordering and explained menus items that we were unsure of. She was kind and knowledgeable. She made the experience even better! The food was delicious and exactly what we were wanting. On its own, this restaurant is amazing, but compared to similar options, it stands out among the rest. Extremely satisfied!
