Craving poke but didn't want to drive to my usual South Bay spot, so I checked Yelp and decided to try this place. They have a great selection of marinated protein choices, sides, mix-ins, sauces, and toppings to customize your bowl. I love that you can mix & match your base for extra variety! They even offer poke nachos, which is a fun option. Our bowls were fresh and absolutely delicious! Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service was excellent. Plus, you get a free Yakult with every purchase. I'm thinkin' this might just be my new go-to spot!
Nice little poke shop with friendly staff that was helpful with questions we had about the menu. This shop is really small so our group of 6 took up most of the sitting area. The poke itself was good and fresh. Sad they ran out of hamachi when we went so will have to go back and try it again. Good spot to try if you are craving poke and in the area.
First time trying Local Poke and overall, it was an excellent experience! Located in a strip mall near the freeway, it was easy to access and there was plenty of parking at the lunch hour. Definitely more of a to go place which was fine. I was warmly greeted and the written instructions were easy to follow, and the person helping answered any remaining questions about the ingredient options for building my poke bowl. There was a good range of seafood protein choices and went with a large bowl to try 4 different ones. All were good, but I think I liked the volcanic ahi and customized ponzu hamachi the best, while the shoyu ahi and spicy salmon or excellent as well. There were also plenty of good toppings, and they were very generous with the mix of both rice and salad greens. I also appreciated the chance to have three different types of tobiko on top. Overall, a tasty and filling poke bowl and I look forward to coming back again soon!
The quality of the poke was fresh and the sauce was perfectly balanced. The service was fast since it's more of a to-go vibe where you pick and choose which items you want. The ambiance is more like mom and pop hawaiian restaurant vibe. This place was recommended by my friend bc I was visiting Dublin area for work and overall really good recommendation for a poke fix!
Hands down the best poke place in town. I highly recommend the marinated flavors as you can't get these anywhere else!
