The Poki

"Disappointed by Tipping Policy at The Poki For years, I've been a loyal customer at The Poki. They consistently deliver high-quality ingredients and friendly service, especially during lunch. However, a recent experience left me concerned. During checkout, the employee discreetly covered the tip screen on the credit card processor while prompting me to add a gratuity. When I expressed my desire to tip, the employee apologetically revealed that the owner keeps all the tips. While I haven't independently verified this, the employee's statement raises concerns, as federal law protects employee tips. Many customers, like myself, choose to support local businesses and their hardworking staff. Taking employee tips raises serious ethical concerns. In the spirit of transparency, I believe Poki's patrons deserve to know about this alleged tipping policy. Unfortunately, until this is addressed, I won't be returning."

"I've gotten takeout here a few times but this time the spicy tuna was not chunked... The best way to describe it was as processed through a grinder and clumpy. It was not good. Do not order takeout, order at the counter to see the fish."

"The best place to go if I need something quick..they had spam musubi when I went there and it was also good to just grab and go! The owner is really nice too :)"

"Unfortunately this place has become extremely hit and miss at best. My last visit i purchased a small and large bowl and the portions were identical outside of the fact that the large had slightly more salmon on it. The small bowls protein literally was embarrassing. The lady scooping made hardly any effort to give the proper amount and when she misunderstood that we only wanted avocado (extra $) on one of the bowls she took the avocado from the bowl that wasn’t supposed to have it and put it on the other bowl and then promptly charged us 2x for avocado as if we asked for a double portion. The only reason i didn’t say anything was because her fish portion on my large bowl was so poor that i asked for 2 extra scoops ($2 per extra scoop) and she forgot to charge me for those. Also the “loyalty points” system is set up poorly and only gives you “1 point per transaction” and not “1 point per bowl” so make sure and pay for each bowl separately if you’re paying for more than 1."

"Best poki bowl I have ever had here. Great variety of ingredients and great value too. Honestly love this spot and recommend it to others! Spicy and they have no problem catering to any requests!"
