Poke Okie — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Ordered online for pickup and their website would not allow me to complete my purchase without including a minimum 15% tip. For pickup? Who am I even tipping at that point?

They do provide a lot of variety which is a plus, but overall not the biggest fan. Seems like they are working out the kinks since...

I’m a sucker for poke bowls, so it’s awesome that they opened this spot on the NW side. The staff is very kind, the interior is full of plants which I love, and the food is delicious.
