I came in to order to-go today, and it was my first experience at the restaurant. The staff were very friendly, and everything looked neat and clean. It is really hard, in my opinion, to find a lot of moderately-priced options to eat fresh fish in Arlington. Since I have trouble digesting red meats, having different protein options is super helpful -- and this place perfectly fills a dietary void Id been struggling with lately! The portion size was just where I like it, personally -- fair and not Murica-sized. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and the toppings were delicious. It was incredibly convenient to order; they assemble the bowls in front of you (like Subway, so to speak). I was in and out in less than ten minutes with two bowls. I got a regular bowl with hamachi and hawaiian ahi tuna (splitting the base with white rice and salad). I topped it with masago, avocado, ginger, seaweed salad, and cucumber -- then added their house soy sauce, spicy mayo, and sesame seeds. It left me incredibly full but without the heavy feeling associated with eating a lot of oily foods. I literally ran, like ... three more errands afterwards. (They also had fried onions and wasabi available on the condiments island. Just FYI.) I appreciate that theyve chosen to close on Sundays in order to maintain the freshness of their fish (due to their delivery schedule). Also, while some may complain about the limited choice in toppings, I am perfectly content with the ten items they offer and would prefer that they keep it that way. More toppings means that product could sit longer on the line and age (or spoil and have to be throw away), so I hope they maintain their selection. Also, if their portion sizes used to be larger, Im glad thats changed, as well. Id rather they were making a profit and staying in business rather than trying to compete with oversized portions. For what I ate today, $9 was exceedingly fair. So long as they maintain the quality that I experienced on my first visit, I will continue coming to eat here!

If you havent been to Ahi Poke yet I dont know what you are doing with your life, I really dont! First of all my wife is a Japanese local from Honolulu so I know Poke. I also know food and its hard to get good quality and variety in Arlington tx without being a big sushi restaurant. I was pleased to find the quality of freshness of the fish. It was on par with a good Texas sushi establishment! Setup, think chipotle but with fish instead. Step 1. You pick white or brown rice. Step 2 . your choice of poke- cubed raw fish (think sashimi cubed, thats poke) such as shoyu ahi (tuna marinated in soy sauce) salmon, marlin, octopus, yellow tail, tofu even fried salmon for the trepidacious. Step 3. Toppings, up to five! Generous! Crabmeat, cucumber, masago fisheggs, ginger, jalapeño, green onion, seaweed salad, avocado. Cant double up on options dont be greedy, be adventurous! Add a shoyu sauce, spicy mayo like at sushi places or spicy sauce. Sooo good! They sell fruit sodas you can only find on the island so try the guava or lilikoi or passionfruita. ofcourse they have coconut water and soda and water. Poke in texas? Sign me up. It didnt taste like it was from texas! Was great, filling. And guilty free in terms of health, brown rice helps the carb content, else its perfect! Try it. Youll love it if youre a sushi fan :)

The options for fish here are pretty good. I liked that they had several kinds of tuna, as well as popcorn shrimp and tofu. Those are two I havent seen at any other poke place in DFW. When it came time to order my protein, I ordered my first, not seeing that there was three pieces of that particular fish left. The man scooped what was left and put it on my bowl. I thought maybe this was a normal portion, so I didnt say anything. I ordered my second protein only to see the difference in portions. Then as we waited for toppings, more of the fish I had ordered first came out. I had hoped they would put a little more, but perhaps they had added more of the second fish as compensation. There are an array of options for toppings, leaving me wishing for a few more options. I looked for Furikake but didnt see it as an option anywhere. That being said, I thought I heard someone in line order some. So maybe ask. The ambiance is that of a casual local establishment. Theres Hawaiian music, a painted mural of a shark, and the people will typically welcome you with an aloha. The taste was good, the fish were fresh. I enjoyed the sauces as well. Would like to come back for another review.

I ate here today for lunch while waiting for my tire to be repaired after having a flat. The food here is delicious. It is well worth eating here for lunch because it is affordable, clean, and inviting. I knocked it down a star because of slow service. Even though it was lunch hour, it was bogged down quite a bit. I ordered a large poke bowl with hamachi, Hawaiian salmon, and spicy ahi tuna. The fish was delicious and fresh. I would go here for the food and cost alone. I definitely recommend this place!

Ive been wanting to try this place since it opened & finally made the time to check it out. What more can I say, except that I wish I wouldve ate here sooner!!! I have been eating sashimi for over a decade & I know high grade fish...I am truly impressed with the quality of the products here. Its been 3 days & Im craving another ahi-poke bowl! Its definitely my new favorite place for a quick, healthy & delicious meal!

Sad to say I really loved this place but the quantity they give has drastically lowered (Quality still good) But the poke portions have decreased significantly from when they opened To now I spoke to the guys on the line and even someone came from the back and all they could say is thats the scoop I gave you a whole scoop Guess they changed your scoop sizes Rant or not I wont come back for such a small portion

We were driving around and were hungry and spotted this place. We heard of Po-kay when we visited Hawaii but we didnt try it. I can say, we certainly regret not having Poke in Hawaii, because this food was absolutely amazing! Just make sure that you are hungry when you order the large, because its a lot of food! It really doesnt matter if Im hungry or not, I always order the large, I just cant get enough of it!

My niece was in town and brought me to try Poke for the first time and I loved it! The food was fresh, the staff was very helpful and kind. It was really cool that Johnny walked over and answered our questions about Poke and its history! Even my picky eater kids loved Poke. The prices are also very affordable! I was very impressed and will be back. Mahalo for bringing Poke to Arlington

The only thing missing from this was the Hawaiian sun and the smell of the ocean. So freaking delicious and the customer service there was the best service I have ever received at a restaurant. The Hawaiian poke was exactly the same as the islands and the spicy poke was just perfect. My daughter loves the place as well. Just the atmosphere alone had me saying Mahalo out the door.
