Island Fin Poké Company - Lake Nona

"One of my favorite Poke places in FL. The food is always fresh and flavor full. The price is reasonable. The working staff are always great. Really like the soda on tap, forgot the name brand. You have to try this place if you like poke."

"Lake Nona, FL. Super fresh, awesome poke bowls! So the poke I grew up with in Hawai’i was raw fish cubes marinated in soy sauce with sometimes limu (seaweed) added, not much else. About 10 years ago poke (poh kay) expanded across the US and I’m lucky enough to have found Island Fin Poke here. Poke has evolved in the mainland US to mean bowls with a base of rice or salad mix with your choice of toppings and proteins, some of which are cooked. So if you order white rice, cooked chicken, and carrots on your poke bowl you have yourself a pretty mainstream American meal. Island Fin offers a mix of that plus the real deal. I love Island Fin’s concept! You can tell the owner loves Hawaii. They play Hawaiian music! Listen, that’s not always the case in Hawaiian restaurants. Some “Hawaiian” restaurants I’ve visited in the US have played Latin, pop, top 40, and Chinese pop music, which people enjoy, but I appreciate hearing local style Hawaiian music at a Hawaiian establishment. I think the Hawaiian music adds to the Hawaiian decor to round out an authentic experience. If you want to feel like you went on a mini-vacay to Hawaii, Island Fin will give you that. I had the Build Your Own Poke Bowl with a HUGE amount of food: Korean chicken (2 scoops), cooked shrimp, limu, kim chi, edamame, takuan, Japanese marinated cucumber, pineapple, mango, carrots, jalapeños, onions 3 ways, and corn on a bed of spring mix. My husband had the chicken bowl on white rice and the rice tasted like Calrose, like good rice you’d find in any Hawaiian kitchen. They make all their own sauces in house! I had the ponzu and sweet chili sauces on the side. Rounding out the meal we had Dole Whip, pineapple and orange flavors. Camille gave us and everyone excellent service!!! She was perfect, happy to answer all my questions with pride in Island Fin, and knowing when other customers wanted a curtailed experience. She showed initiative and vision in spreading Island Fin’s culture. Highly recommend!"

The food is delicious...The ingredients are fresh, flavorful, and great quality, and the portions are very generous. I usually build my own bowl and for dessert, I love the dole whip. The atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff is amazing!! They're the reason why I keep coming back! Everyone is so kind and helpful and I always feel so taken care of when I visit. Overall, I highly recommend dining here"
