"This was hands down the worst Poke I’ve ever had, beyond it being wayyyyy OVERPRICED it was, $140 for 4 large poke bowls, could’ve taken the family out for sushi), it had that old fish/slimy texture extra strong fishy scent, terrible cuts that were too chewy to eat not properly cut), the staff couldn’t answer simple clear questions about their food, gave weird vibes/looks while we were waiting just odd/put out), I couldn’t even eat it, my family all agree, this was so disappointing as my family drove 45 minutes to Tacoma to get it! Don’t believe the reviews, this is a 1 star or less Tacoma WA location), anywhere else is where you should go…. half the price!!!"

While the customer service was excellent, the prices are outrageous for the portion sizes. I paid $16.99 for shrimp tempura and received very little. If you're looking to leave feeling satisfied, be cautious. Food rating: 1/5.

I did enjoy the meal, and they were having issues with most of their stuff bring it due to a convention, so these are place holder scores. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't quite meet up to my expectations. I will give them another shot!Food: 3/5

Was looking for a quick bite while checking out the glass Bridge in downtown Tacoma. I had a poke salad with lava sauce over salmon. It was delicious. My wife had a salmon wrap which was very good and filling. Fish was fresh and flavorful. I would eat here again.Food: 5/5 View menu

The food was quite good overall. I didn’t try the poke, but I did have the Kahlua Pork. I consider that a good benchmark because if a restaurant can't get that dish right, they likely struggle with other items as well. The pork was well-prepared and moist, though I would have appreciated a bit more flavor. Still, it was enjoyable. Rating: 4/5.

38 dollars before tip for two musubi and a large ahi poke which consisted of two scoops of tuna, two scoops of doughy rice not soft like hawaiian, straight dough ball), and seaweed salad mix with spring mix. The poke looked and tasted not the freshest either. The one highlight was spam fries because they were presented in a spam tin. Overall you get much more bang for your buck and a friendlier service at POKE POP in fircrest. I won't be coming here again.

Heard GREAT things about this place. I don't understand why majority of the time we come either no rice, grills are off it's ALWAYS something mind you I'm not the only one saying this multiple people who try and eat here say the same thing. Poke is losing a lot of business due to this. Please change this. L L seems like a competitor honestly I rather go to L L because they ALWAYS are available and have GREAT FOOD. whoever wants this type of food L L WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. View menu

The poke place was alright, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Aesthetically pleasing but that’s about it for me. The fish was fresh, but I was a bit disappointed that there weren't many different toppings to choose from. I'm used to having a lot of options when it comes to poke, and this place just didn't have that. No edamame, imitation crab, or really anything besides a little bit of seaweed salad and actual salad. Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out if you're in the area and you're looking for something quick and easy, but if you're a poke connoisseur, you might be a bit let down.

To make matters worse, the restroom was absolutely disgusting. I was shocked when I walked in. For a place with such high prices, I expected it to be clean and well-maintained, but instead, it felt annoyingly overpriced and dirty. I didn't even want my 6-year-old to go in there. As for the food, I ordered the spicy tuna musubi, which was okay, but the rice was undercooked. I know a thing or two about rice since it's a staple in my culture, so I can tell when it’s not prepared properly. I won’t be returning to this location, but I may try the other one in Seattle just to see if it's any better than this one in Tacoma.
