I am only giving four stars because the food is fantastic when it is made correctly. I was so sad to see the Nob Hill location closed because the Wyoming Location does not make orders accurately for whatever reason. We never had a single issue at the Nob Hill location. We have had 2 in person orders and at least four online orders screwed up at the Wyoming location. We pay extra for things and don't receive them. We also received unwanted ingredients that were clearly requested (by box) to be removed. These occurred through Web order through the website and also through DoorDash. We will probably keep coming here because we love the food, but it is extremely frustrating. Hopefully they can iron these issues out.
This is definitely a down to earth place if you want to hang out with friends and family or just want to go study with the vibe of still feeling social. They have seating downstairs and upstairs. The menu is very extensive and you can also built your own. They have many options for desserts and we got the Oreo cheesecake and it did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious and prepared or cooked to perfection depending with the dish we ordered. I have to say I finished my entire bowl and I usually have left overs but it was too good to take left overs home! Definitely will be returning again with a much bigger appetite! Thank you for being amazing Poki Poki!
I went there today, for the 1st time. Had lunch by myself . I give it A+ , 5 stars... My cocktail was awesome, the food was so good , very good service. I will be going back with my husband . soon. He will love it .
In town for an archery tournament with my son. He had never had a Poke bowl so we were driving by and saw this one and stopped by. Very unique even interesting decor. Hipster type place to an old fellow like me. Orders are taken at the counter and they make it right then. Very friendly folks Poke bowls come in three sizes. We got the middle size and it was plenty for each of us. Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Parking lot in rear.
The food is very good. The only thing that I would comment on is that the hot tacos suffer just a bit from the time they get off the grill and our served. Not as warm as they could be. This has stood out to me because we often eat at pokey pokey, and Nob Hill and they race those tacos from the grill to our table and they're always piping hot when we get them. I love their Poki bowls the Boss bowl is my favorite. Tried the Hawaii bowl once, beautifully prepared, but the flavors were not really to my liking. The staff is friendly, attentive and contribute to our overall experience as we usually sit at the bar, either the front bar or the back bar. The place is always clean and has a nice, casual, urban vibe.
Venturing into Poki Poki for lunch on a dreary, rainy day was an absolute delight. Perfectly situated next to Sweet Cup, it's a haven for those craving a culinary treat followed by a sweet indulgence. Poki Poki impresses with its immaculately clean restrooms and exceptional service, offering a unique dining experience spread across two inviting sections, each featuring its own bar and an enchanting second floor. The Tiki Tiki-themed atmosphere adds a vibrant touch, creating a cozy yet adventurous setting. Their drink selection is noteworthy, boasting a fountain of sodas and juices, ensuring a refreshing complement to any meal. Not to be missed is the little dessert corner, courtesy of Sweet Cup, showcasing an irresistible array of sweets from tiramisu to tres leches that promises to end your meal on a high note. As a beer aficionado, I opted for a Topo Chico, finding it a refreshing departure from my usual. The highlight of my visit was the Boss Bowl - a masterful blend of white rice, corn tortilla chips, spicy and Ahi tuna, salmon, topped with fusion mayo and spicy Poki, avocado, Krab, edamame, and jalapeno corn. This bowl not only satisfied my hunger but also tantalized my taste buds with its exquisite flavors and textures. Poki Poki has undoubtedly set a high bar for a dining experience that's as delightful as it is memorable. A must-visit for anyone looking to elevate their lunch plans, it earns a well-deserved five stars from me.
We had two six-star experiences within one week here! #1- my daughter and i had our order doordashed to our hotel, tuna nachos, the Boss bowl and Spicy bowl. All generously portioned with rice, edamame, krab, salmon and tuna, etc- flavors were perfect, we were VERY full afterwards and ate the rest for breakfast the next day- still delish ! Went again for time #2 with my husband yesterday, I had the nachos again because they were that good :) They're really great about not over-saucing things so you get all of the flavors mixed together- YUMMY! Since we were onsite I also got a view of their comprehensive menu and there's a ton of delicious choices if you wanted to make your own bowl. My husband loved his, our lunch wtih a 20% tip was $48. They have a ton of boba tea options also, yummy! So excited about this new find for us, we are in ABQ a few times a year and always looking for a great find- this is that!
Alright! It's about time I review Poke Poke! First off I've been coming to this restaurant since it originated near the university area.... Years and years and years, I'm a fan. Now I bought a house less than a mile from this location on Comanche and Wyoming. We come here a few times a month, always order the same thing because that's my jam. After visiting Hawaii, I can't get enough raw salmon and tuna! Make me a poke bowl and you'll have yourself a new regular. If you're not feeling poke, or raw fish, they offer tacos and taco bowls which is great, because there's always that one friend that won't do sushi . I've never tried the taco bowls, but let's be real, they are probably amazing. There's a little bar area where you can snag a local beer, OR they have a bombtastic tiki lounge part of the restaurant that'll make you a tiki drink.... THESE DRINKS ARE GREAT! They'll put you right in da island vibe! I'm a fan and I'm here to stay, so come get a bowl and enjoy this atmosphere.
