Terrible experience here. I ordered a large bowl are and the portions were extremely small 2 spoon fulls on veggies for a vegan!!!! But very liberal in the brown rice!!! I am extremely frustrated. I had to even ask for more of an item only to get a little bit more of an amount. 1 more spoon full to be exact!!! The employee looked at me like stop asking for more! I will never come back here. I would much rather order two separate bowls from pokey Brothers on 86 street that give three times the portion sizes as this store. I would avoid this place. The employees were not that friendly either. This place was also a very generic poke place can definitely tell they don’t have high standards for quality food!!!! Seems like a chain. This is because it tasted like it was just prepared with no effort!!!!! Downtowns poke bowl places are superb in flavor in originality.
Interesting that you say that the only bad experience was that one lol. Many people have have bad experiences but choose not to write sometimes! Such as myself. That definitely wasn’t me if that’s what you think this review is about that gentlemen. The staff female that handled my order was very rude not by word choice but by attitude. She just had this energy that she wanted me to hurry up and get my order over with because I had asked for more than a tbsp one EDAMAME. I told her I would pay extra. She gave me one more Tbsp. I’m really sorry but this was a poor reply. I will not take my review down and stand by my decision after. Perhaps this is an issue with vegans. I had no animal protein with my order and so all my veggie portions were about two spoon fulls max on the most expensive bowl! I didn’t say anything rude to the employees as I was already so surprised by the service. I didn’t...
Read moreI ordered catering for 70 people from Ali'i Poke Fishers for my backyard wedding celebration. Our wedding guests absolutely loved the food. It was one of the highlights of the evening! It was very fresh and tasty. Because it is a build-your-own-bowl style, it was customizable so those with dietary restrictions only picked up food they could eat. It made catering for 70 people very easy.
We were impressed with the professionalism and service the Ali'i Poke team provided especially with setting up the food for the buffet. We appreciate the high quality utensils and containers they provided. Overall, it was an exceptional experience.
The original caterer I was working with stopped responding and could not confirm the order. So, 4 days before my wedding, I was panicking about the food situation. I'm so thankful that Nef, Manager at Ali'i Poke Fishers was willing to accept the catering order with eagerness, providing prompt communication immediately. Everything was confirmed within 24 hours. On the day of, the Ali'i Poke team delivered the food early and set it all up - with perfect timing - for the dinner buffet to be opened. The food table looked spectacular. Nef and his team provided exceptional service which allowed me to not have to worry about the food situation for my...
Read moreI am Japanese and have relatives in Hawaii, and I often travel between Japan, Hawaii, and Indiana. I had just returned from Hawaii recently, and the poke I had there was so delicious that I found myself craving it again. While looking for a place to satisfy that craving, I came across this restaurant.
I was torn between the marinated salmon and marinated tuna, but they kindly let me sample both. I ended up choosing the marinated salmon, though both were absolutely delicious.
The fish had no unpleasant smell and was incredibly fresh. I highly recommend pairing it with sushi rice. I chose marinated salmon and octopus as my proteins, and added sushi rice with spicy seasoning. Be sure not to forget wasabi, soy sauce, and seaweed at the end—it really completes the bowl.
Good octopus is hard to find, so I was especially happy with how tasty it was. My husband chose crab and marinated tuna, and the crab was real—not imitation—which was a nice surprise.
We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be...
