hokey poke

wow did this place suck!, portion size, price, flavour pretty much everything was disappointing i will not be going back. if your dish is 90% rice please have well seasoned rice and i don't mean doused in soy sauce. i had two dishes, 1 the bulogi beef, bulogi is usually thin strips of short rib, this was cubes of chuck, the 2nd was the pineapple chicken, consisted of shredded dry chicken breasts the texture was like eating a weave and again no seasoning on the the rice, to charge r120 and r130 i expect a a little substance either in volume or at least in flavor, sadly neither. i would recommend you spend your money else where.

i've had hokey poke twice now, and i love how fresh and delicious it is! the first time i tried i went for a build your own, which ended up being expensive and not as nice as it should have been. my recommendation would be to stick to the suggested combos as they have clearly been well thought out for a reason. i tried the no.3 (sticky rice, avo, crispy onion, edamame beans, mango/pineapple) with salmon instead of tuna (an extra r10) the second time and was very happy with my choice - delicious and fresh and not stingy with the toppings! great for a sit down meal or a quick, healthy takeaway. so much to love!

if you love sushi, fresh flavours and textures, then this is the place for you! amazingly fresh food, quick friendly service and a laid back atmosphere provides the perfect spot to enjoy your hokey poke!

wow, one of my new favs! this cute little authentic restaurant is seriously a hidden gem. it's first come first serve and bring your own drinks (which i love). prices were good and the food was beyond my expectations. if you haven't had a poke bowl before, it is totally unique, full of flavour and a must try.

finally got a chance to try this place out and it was even better than expected!

i had a #3 (with some changes) which was delicious mix of salmon, edamame, pineapple, crispy onion avo and ginger with a sprinkle of furikake (sesame seeds) the textures and flavours came together perfectly to create an amazing lunch.

the staff were very friendly and helpful. there wasn't as much of a vibe as i've previously seen there but that was due to the odd timing of my visit.

really nice atmosphere, presentation and ambience - but i've had better poke bowls. i had a number 1, which isn't the most adventurous, but found that there were relatively few toppings compared to the rice. it was still yummy, but i'll probably try other spots before coming back.

so this review is actually for the hokey poke at mojo market...last night after training, we grabbed a build your bowl. this gives you some freedom to play around with the available ingredients they have to offer on their menu. we both opted for the medium bowl. i chose sticky rice, spring onions, salmon, corn, avo, sprouts and the ponzu dressing. so for those who don't know, the poke bowl, is based on sushi, but obviously deconstructed. the salad was great...fresh, light, crunchy and the dressing was the perfect addition. the only iffy part, is that you'll have to dig deep into your pocket, as it isn't the cheapest option at the market.

great place for dinner with a girlfriend. the staff were very friendly and attentive. food was flavorful and delicious. the medium bowl was the perfect portion size. lots of options for both meat and veggie eaters. will definitely go again!

the best atmosphere with even friendlier staff, this place is on my top 10 restaurants!! love everything about hokey poke from their super fresh ingredients to the electric ambiance. highly recommend this place!!

simply delicious! fresh, beautiful food, perfectly balanced flavours and also just great, great, great. i couldn’t have asked for a better start to first thursdays!

prices keep rising, so it’s become more of a splurge. but my goodness these bowls are delicious, super filling, and no regrets each time. my go-to choice is #5

i ate from their mojo market stall and had a pleasant experience. the lady taking my order was so eager to help me decide on what to put in my bowl and she smiled the entire time. they said it would take 10mins when in fact it took them 5mins. the poke bowl was so tasty and presented beautifully. i loved how none of the sauces were overpowering even though i had ordered two usually strong options (creamy wasabi and soya). they were generous with my toppings and my avo was cut so carefully. i really enjoyed my meal and the handy wooden fork was a nice touch to my travel pack.

the food looks great, and it tastes great, but i’m not sure if it was worth the price. i tried a medium no. 2 , which had salmon, avo, edmame beans , almonds and some other stuff with a half brown rice and half kale base. i would have liked more salmon. for r110 i think it’s a tad bit over priced. but glad i tried it out. fyi, the menu on zomato is outdated. i have attached the current menu with the new prices.

i’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, and i definitely wasn’t disappointed! the décor is quirky and japanese-inspired, although i thought the seating arrangements could be a bit more comfortable. we both ordered the no. 2, which came very quickly. it was tasty and flavourful - the salmon was fresh and i really enjoyed the hokey poke house sauce, and the addition of edamame beans. although a bit on the expensive side, the portions are generous and filling, and you are paying for high quality ingredients. service was decent, and i’ll definitely be returning to try more of their options.

i absolutely love sushi and i had seen so much hype about poke bowls over the past summer. i decided to pop in at the store in the waterfront “for the gees”.

the assistant helped me pick out one of the more popular bowls - i chose a number 3 (half baby salad, half sushi rice) and offered to sear the tuna. what they don’t tell you is that the “sear” is done in an air fryer so my tuna was dry and unpalatable. i took it back and was told “this is what you ordered”, surely the standard of something seared is a hot pan and flash fried? anyway, the rest of the bowl was delicious once i picked the tuna out.

i tried hokey poke again, but this time at the mojo market for the world cup final. i was really disappointed at the quality of ingredients that was in the bowl - the avo was brown and they put waaaay too much soy sauce even after i had asked the assistant to stop, homegirl just kept pouring.

apparently there’s a third hokey poke store - i’m willing to give them another go. i’m really keen on having one of these 5 star experiences!
