They don’t do poke anymore. The food is horrible. Ramen cost $7.5 and just the Korean instant noodle (which worth less than $1) +boiled egg (and they did not mention it). Bento box portion is small and salad is start rotten. Given two stars simply because the food does not make me sick + the cashier is not rude to me.

My favorite place in Austin to get Tayaki and Bingsu ice cream (Korean shaved ice cream)! They have a second location in the Highlands area which is typically more popular, but this one is just as good. I haven’t tried their rice balls, but I’ve heard great things about them. Something I like about this location is that they don’t hold back on the filling for the Tayaki. The large Bingsu is enough to feed anyone from 1 to 6 people in my opinion, and it is filled with both ice cream and the fruit of choice. My personal preference is the strawberry. I would highly recommend for any occasion, as they have a lot of variety to choose from and it’s not too pricey! Great service as well.

Stopped in on a whim, tried the “Bingsu”, essentially Korean ice cream.. wow, so delicious. Will have to come back and try some of their Taiyaki, and Onigiri (rice balls).

This place is amazing! It is not closed it is renamed. That's why it has a huge grand opening sign. It's the same people.

It's now called snow ball rice ball

I've been coming to this place for months on my lunch break, coming in once a week. This week I walked in and was surprised to see it is now an ice cream shop??? Looks like same owners but just changed over night. New name/sign and completely different cuisine. Kinda of upset my points i've saved up will be going to waste...

the 20% off check in does not work at this location. They are super stingy as well! Most places allow half rice / half salad and they said no. Ok, ordered my order and wanted extras knowing I was going to pay extra for it, didn't allow it. OK. Checked in using yelp as it is promoted to use 20% off, they kept saying that's not their business. I pulled up their pictures/address and they still denied it. As my first time coming here, it was horrible service.

Really good place, super clean and the food is always fresh and taste good. I have been going to the other location for years but just discovered this one and im really happy with that because it’s closer to my home.

Delicious food and it has good vegetarian options too. I love the side options aside from the pokes. I tried the bacon and avocado rice balls and it was great! Service was good and place is really clean.

One of the best places to get poke. The salmon and Ahi is always is always great. They have other options but I like those the best. Don't forget that they have Roman noodles as well as other food options. The people behind the counter are always friendly
My cousin brought over poke bowls and unigiri (rice ball) from Ola Poke and since then my entire family have been craving the food we ate from there!! The salmon in my unigiri was so fresh and tasty! The other day my sister and I went back and again everything was delicious! Perfectly proportioned filling to rice ratio. Unigiri neatly packaged and easy to eat. I was surprised the restaurant was not busier and wonder if this is because it is a bit of a well-kept secret hidden out in a shopping center in northwest Austin. If it were downtown or near campus, I would guarantee there would be lines to eat this fantastic food!! For me, it was worth a drive!

This place was horrible. I don't know if we caught it on a bad night or what. The poke was not all the fresh and the overall meal was not good. The rushed customer service added to the bad experience. Never again. I only gave it 1star because I had to. Hopefully your experience is better than mine.

Great food at a reasonable price. I love Japanese food but had never had poke. Given their similarity, the shopkeeper told me all about the different offerings and he gladly let me try all kinds of different options to help me choose what I wanted. Would definitely go back.

Love this place! But I won’t be paying extra for the avocado again, as it was already oxidized (brown).

Very fresh and delicious poke. Loved the house sauce. Plus, they have spam musubi!
