    Amazing attention to detail. I was flabbergasted. Once I mentioned that I had a sesame seed and sesame oil allergy, the staff was very specific about what I could choose and what I could not choose. They also double-checked items to make sure I could or could not eat it. I really appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, so rarely found anywhere. AND the food was delicious — fresh and tasty. We definitely want to come back here again.

    Mahalo iā 'oe !! Honest, down to earth and simple poké Bar dishing up super yummy grub at good value for money prices considering the location. I got a large box which had plentiful diversity, flavor and plenty of greens with fresh and vibrant tasting Spicy Ahi, Fresh Ahi and Octopus, tasted awesome and a rad dining experience. There is optimal seating outside for you to chow down underneath the beautiful tiki fire toches on an evening with a great vibe around this area. I wish they had some Gochujang or alternatives hot sauces without Mayo, also gave you the option for two premium toppings so you can get Wakame Seaweed and Miso Crab. My friend also got tofu which was so basic, no seasoning and relies on dressing, surely should be cheaper than if you were to get any of the fresh fish poke scoops. Support local businesses and Hang Low!!

    😋 Delicious Poke. Don't get me wrong I love original Hawaiian Poke. But the Poke bar is the best of both worlds. Finally Poke with some rice and greens. Not traditional style but delicious with lots of options and toppings. Fresh fish. Tasty. Will return.

    Lol, we’ve been in Waikiki for 4 days so far and have eaten at this place at least 3 times because it’s literally that good. We’ve even gone to other recommended places and been upset that we just didn’t go to Poke Bar because it’s so solid, consistent, and just such a good bang for your buck. If you’re from the mainland and want good poke while you’re in town, go here. You won’t regret it. Honestly, eat it every day and you’ll be so happy; we are!

    May 2023: Stopped by for lunch and took a poke to go. I tried the salmon and tuna poke with the house sauce. Everything was really tasty and I preferred this place vs the other one nearby that offers fried chicken as a topping. The combination was great and everything tasted very fresh 😋👍. Would definitely come back again for more delicious poke.

    Lucia Poke on the island. Be sure to visit. You will be absolutely delighted with poke. Lots of additives. If you are on a healthy diet, you can choose salad instead of rice.

    I had the three fish poke with spicy ahi and garlic shrimp. Its was very good and the price was reasonable for being down in waikiki. Thinking about going back again tomorrow.

    TL;DR: add pineapple, always add pineapple, come on, you're in Hawaii. Great food but a bit on the spendy side for the proportion you receive. Parking: resort/hotel garages or lots outside the shopping strip only. Minimal street parking if any. Atmosphere: small dining area abides to 6 foot distancing due to COVID. Like a Subway but for poké. Menu: straightforward step by step process. You have many topping options here but the price difference depends on the number of proteins you want. Service: start at the far left, choose your toppings, pay at the end, seat and water yourself. Utensils located to the right of the register and a self watering station with paper cups is on the far right. Bus your own table near the water dispenser. Start by choosing a base (brown rice, white rice, or salad. Then choose your protein(s) -- I choose 2 proteins (double salmon scoops). Then all toppings are a free for all unless marked otherwise. Below are each of the toppings I chose. White rice: typical sushi rice in my opinion. Tastes good. Salmon: not the best in my honest opinion -- it's not as tender as some other poké bars and wasn't really that cold. That being said, I did not get any digestive issues, which is a huge plus for a poké bar. Seaweed salad: really tasty and tangy! I really appreciate the fact that it was fresh and crunchy and not fishy or overly salty tasting. Totally refreshing to have with each bite. Ginger: typical pickled yellow sushi ginger. Edamame: fresh and shiny, not shriveled and dry. Furikake: total must add for that photo pizzazz and flavor! Pineapple: nice hunks that are super juicy and sweet!

    This little hole-in-the-wall restaurant was outstanding! The fish was so unbelievably fresh (sourced from the local fish market). It is sort of like a Chipotle, but for Poké! The staff was friendly and kind! The variety is unmatched!

    Definitely delicious! I'm from the northeast, and there are tons of poke bars in the city. None of them could beat this one over the freshness of the ingredients--you gotta eat the authentic poke!!

    A similar way of ordering to Subway restaurants. You can choose several toppings. The ingredients there were very fresh and well seasoned. If you come to Hawaii, I recommend you to experience it at least once.

    Fresh seafood at its best, hubby had the 3 fish combo with tuna, salmon and scallops over greens/salad. Great fresh and healthy meal to start eating our way through the island this week. We got it to go and it was a short 15 min walk back to Hilton Village.

    Part of a large international chain, you might not get the Hawaii poke experience unless you know how to put together your bowl. Sometimes having too many options isn't the best, but one thing for sure, it's fish is excellent and fresh!

  • 5/5 Flavia B. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing Poke place, serving sushi-grade ahi (tuna) and salmon/shrimps, with overall fresh ingredients and very nice dressings. You can put together your own combo with various types of fish and sides. Super kind staff. Recommended!

    In search of a satisfying poke stop near our hotel, we stumbled upon Poke Bar, a highly-rated local favorite that intrigued us with its rave reviews. Poke Bar's approach offers a comforting familiarity, particularly for those who hail from metropolitan areas in the US, where poke eateries are becoming increasingly popular. The establishment provides an array of choices, presenting an array of fish options and toppings akin to what one might find in mainland poke spots. While some may argue that the most authentic Hawaiian poke places center their attention on the quality of the fish rather than the accompaniments, Poke Bar skillfully balances both aspects, ensuring that the quality and freshness of the seafood are not overshadowed by the variety of available extras. I opted for the 3 Fish Combo Bowls, which proved to be an indulgent feast. While these bowls may not strictly adhere to the traditional blueprint of Hawaiian poke, they encapsulate all the quintessential characteristics that make poke bowls so adored - freshness, versatility, and flavor. Each bowl was brimming with freshness and the ingredients were harmoniously combined, satisfying our poke cravings. Overall, Poke Bar provides a good poke experience that's a blend of the familiar and the exotic, making it a great destination for any poke lover in town.

    The first ahi poke bowl we tried, and it was delicious! Loved the crunchy toppings and how you can add so many things on top! I got the fresh ahi bowl and added all the free toppings, soooooo good... hub got the spicy ahi.

    Unlike other poke places, you can add different ingredients here to spice up your bowl. The combination of flavors was amazing!
