Holy cow that was horrific.. First and foremost, I don't leave reviews unless it is very bad. Secondly, for full disclosure purposes, I am Hawaiian and have eaten this type of food all of my life, so I have higher expectations than most. I ordered the kahlua pig w/ yakisoba noodles. The plate came w/ mac salad and slaw. Starting with the pork, it was shredded. That's the first red flag. It was also dry and tasted like it had barbecue sauce added to it while cooking. Second massive red flag. Thirdly, it was bland and I could barely taste any liquid smoke. Third red flag. Let's call this what it is: shredded pork. Was it edible? Yes. Was it worth $18? Laughable. Moving on to the yakisoba noodles: they were quite LITERALLY packaged top ramen noodles w/ a splash of teriyaki sauce for color. Yes, you read that correctly. Those little packages you get for $0.25 and boil for 2 minutes. Calling those yakisoba noodles is downright disrespectful and shameful. Lastly, the mac salad. not much here; just dry and had about 1/3 of a pound of pepper. Personally, pepper doesn't belong on mac salad. Not how we make it. But I would've been open to some pepper as I am a huge pepper fan. Now if I'm saying it had an incredible amount of pepper, that's really saying something. In conclusion, for the love of God, look elsewhere for Hawaiian food. This is perhaps the worst example of Hawaiian food I've ever experienced.

Okay, I went again, because I love poke! They gave me the wrong sauce - garlic sauce instead of sriracha aioli, and left off several of the toppings: no tempura, green onions or furikake.

Moi Poki at the Beergarden is my friends and I's most frequented spot in Eugene! For good reason too. The food is delicious, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and the assortment of drinks and fun events at the Beergarden make the vibe so fun. My favorite thing to order lately is the classic poké burrito with avocado, tempura shrimp, and hot Cheetos.

Good poke bowl , (of Which there is precious little in Eugene), but would be much better if they had more choices for ingredients/toppings!!! This is the location near UO.

We've eaten here twice and the rice was undercooked! It was very gross. Aside from that the food is overpriced for what you get. I would not recommend this place. There are much better options for Poke in town.

This is my fave spot to get a poke bowl in town! I love that it's located at the Beer Garden so that you have a large selection of drinks to choose from to go with your meal. You also have the option of inside or outside seating which is perfect in the summer time. For the bowls specifically I like that I can do brown rice instead of white. I always do half brown rice, half spring mix as my base. Makes me feel really healthy! The food has always been quick and super tasty & all the ingredients seem really fresh. I like that you can switch up your order too with the addition of toppings (like crushed hot Cheetos) or add ons (like gyoza or coconut shrimp - my go to's). The spicy tuna is definitely my favorite protein to get, definitely try it! It's a nice meal to have out that's still super good for you! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it is definitely on the pricier side of a poke bowl. I tend to pay anywhere from $18-$24 for a single bowl. I will say that they're large, I rarely finish mine! Sometimes I wish there was a smaller option available. I think they used to have different sizing options but I think it's now just a standard size. Either way they're good so I'll continue coming back for sure!

We ordered 3 poke bowls and it took 45 minutes. I wish that we had known the wait time before ordering. It didn't seem busy, so maybe they were making food for delivery apps? The bowls were ok - but I hope that our experience was just a one time event.

I was ravenous and they HOOKED me up! I had the spicy Ahi burrito with Shrimp Tempura and all sorts of other things! Go and trust them to do their thing. SO GOOD.
Diane D.
I love the poke here. Their tsunami tuna is great. Also their cali tuna is good. I like avocado and good tuna in a simple poke bowl and this is the best in Eugene.

The garlic chicken was mushy, extra salty, and overpriced at $16. If I eat here again, I will stick with poke.
I got the teriyaki plate. I really liked it! I wished the broccoli was a little less crunchy. The chicken itself was very tender and flavorful but I probably won't be back just because of the price. The place was really cool and I don't regret going, maybe I'll bring people when they come to visit and will pay for my food or something

If this place was purely based on the poke, it would get 5 stars. However they charge way too much for a bowl. The food was great, fish was good, bowl was refreshing. But $17 for a 2-protein + limited 2-3 toppings and sides (these include pickled ginger, edamame, kimchi, etc) is ridiculous (ours came out to $19 because of the +$2 for scallop being one of our proteins) - coming from the Los Angeles area, we do not even pay this much for poke bowls (not to mention they are usually unlimited toppings). If you charge this much, at least pile the fish...

Poke bowl tasted good, but I don't think it's worth the price. $15 for a small (1 scoop of fish), $17 for a medium (2 scoops), and $19 for a large (3 scoops). They have about 6-7 fish options, but many of them are an extra $2. A lot of their toppings/sides are also extra charges (masago is $1 extra). My bowl came out to be $19 for 2 small scoops of fish and a whole lot of rice.
Sara S.
I was impressed with this poke! It was a bit on the pricey side but the tuna was the most tender I've ever had in poke. There were no chewy bits or membranes in the fish. The flavors were also great.
Tyler Y.
I was a little scared to order based on the previous low ratings, but was pleasantly surprised with a heaping bowl of deliciously fresh level of spice was just right and the Sri Racha aioli added a nice kick to the rice. I haven't had many poke bowls before, but since this meal I've tried a few others and Moi Poki still stands above the rest.
