Poke Island earns praise for fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly staff, with many diners calling it the best poke in town and a reliable option for takeout or delivery. The menu offers extensive customization, a variety of toppings, and appealing drinks like boba and a ube latte, all set in a warm, beachy atmosphere. While most reviews celebrate consistency and value, some visits note occasional issues such as items being out of stock, substitutions needed, or variability in portions and flavor balance, including undercooked rice or a milder spicy mayo. Taken together, it feels like a standout spot for flavorful, vibrant poke bowls that satisfy different dietary preferences and budgets, with many guests eager to return.
Delivery order - approximately 600g poke bowl x 2.
First issue: you don't follow your own customization options. Ingredients were added that I did not select, seemingly just to fill the bowl. That's not how a proper BOGO offering should be handled.
As for the poke itself, nothing really stands out. The flavors don't come together - it doesn't'marry' in the mouth the way a well-made poke should.
That said, it's not the worst I've had, so I'll give it 3 stars.
Really nice atmosphere , amazing food ,
Hassan & Arima really made me feel at home , they are extremely kind & professional , they deserve raises , amazing place !!!

I tried a lot of poke's & I must say this one is the best. Everything is fresh. I also used to hate boba tea but when I tried it here I loved it! Definitely recommend if you hesitate!

Franchement, excellente surprise. Les poké bowls sont super frais, les ingrédients sont de très grande qualité & on sent que tout est préparé avec soin. Les quantités sont vraiment généreuses, on ressort rassasié sans se sentir lourd. Les saveurs sont bien équilibrées & le poisson est impeccable.

Tried this poke bowl place & it was great . The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, & everything tasted really good. There were lots of options to customize the bowl that was to me in terms of poke like the grilled chicken they also had things like takoyaki which was great & the fish was high quality & flavorful. The staff were friendly & the place was clean & welcoming. Overall, a great spot for a nice poke bowl.
This place is my guilty pleasure, it's my go-to takeout place. Best poke bowl place in town, & it isnt ridiculously expensive unlike all their competitors. Absolutely love this place!!!
