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 pokebowlbefore, it is totally unique, full of flavour and a must try.

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

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 mybowland she smiled the entire time. they said it would take 10mins when in fact it took them 5mins. the pokebowlwas 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.

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 thebowlwas 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 thebowl- 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!

super average poke bowl. it was so small and expensive. i have had pokebowlfrom many places in cape town and this wasn’t great compared to the other places i’ve been. portions are tiny and simply wasn’t that tasty.

i'm a bit disappointed with myself for not having tried out this spot considering it has been open for some time now. it was well worth the wait as i absolutely loved everything about this spot. the ambiance is very cool and laid back with the pink neon lights that add to the whole cool and hip mood this place gives off. the staff are very friendly and explain any questions you might have about the menu thoroughly. the food itself is amazing, the fusion of fresh ingredients just work perfectly. there's a medium and large sizebowland for me personally unless you're super hungry i'm glad i went with the mediumbowlbecause the portions are very generous. great value for money and defintely a place i'll be visiting frequently.

tried these poke bowls at the mojo market stall today. i had the no 5 special which was absolutely delicious! what a generous amount of salmon, beetroot, edamame beans and all topped off with crispy salmon skin. liked the spicy (sesame?) sauce on the sticky rice too. really delicious and freshbowlof yummyness! my vegan friend went for their no 3, swapped the tuna for tofu and asked them to remove the mayo sauce and also really enjoyed it. we both went back for seconds!! the service here is really quick, efficient and the staff are able to answer questions so they are well versed in the menu. really love the concept and will be back many more times!

so i had my first pokebowlat the hout bay market last month and it really did rock my socks off. ever since i have been wanting to try hokey poke and finally the day came. this time, not only were my socks rocked off but so was everything else. i had the number two with a base of kale slaw and a kombucha to drink and the whole experience was just fantastic. the combination of flavors and textures were truly on point. the only thing i could suggest is to be a little more generous with the salmon (yes i know it is expensive). i left feeling perfectly full, healthy, happy and extremely satisfied.

my first hokey pokebowlwas from the mojo market- it was absolutely yummy! i had the #5 special-the crispy salmon skin absolutely made the dish for me and less sticky rice would have been nice. will definitively be trying some other bowls..

i love hokey poke with its fresh tasty colourful poke bowls! absolutely delicious and nutritious! highly recommend thebowlwith salad and almonds in and with a base of half rice and half kale slaw ❤️💛💚💙💜

quietly tucked away at the bottom of church street, hokey poke offers a variety of unique pokebowlmenu items, as well as a 'create your own option', which i opted for.

i had tofu as my protein with a brown rice base, pear and chili.

the combination worked well. i particularly enjoyed the salty flavour of the pear.

i had a matcha green tea cappuccino to drink (if i see that a restaurant offers it, i'll always order it) which was creamy and delicious.

the decor is very trendy, with low key lighting and all in a 'millennial pink' colour.

i will definitely come back here.

my first time at hokey poke and i was very impressed. the food was delish, the location is great and the vibe is amazing.

we chose to have both the broth options and the number 6 pokebowlfor main courses, as well as the almonds and edamame beans for starters.

the broths were amazing, perfect for a winter's night. really warm and tasty and packed with veggies, chicken, noodles and all the other good stuff.

the pokebowlwas good, too. it was jam-packed with flavour, and had an array of veggies and beef.

overall, it's a great little spot that serves health, authentic food that speaks to your soul. we will definitely be back!

this place should definitely be on your go to restaurant list!

they specialize exclusively in poké bowls, so only visit if you know everyone in your party would enjoy poké!

i'm such a fan, the fish is super fresh and the flavour combinations of the set bowls are incredible, there is also the option to choose the ingredients and make up your own pokébowlthough.

the meal goes perfectly with brew kombucha.

i went for lunch, but have heard the vibe is great at night. can't wait to be back! they also have a small store at the mojo market.

built my ownbowland it was divine. my boyfriend opted for the hot 4 with vegetarian tofu. would definitely recommend this restaurant. it's a gem.

went to the hokey poke in the new market mojo centre in sea point. was very excited to try it out as i really enjoy poke bowls. good concept and topping options, but off the bat i was disappointed with the service - they clearly had some teething problems with faulty computer system (taking forever to process our order).

opted for the original 1 tunabowl- and other in the group ordered the no. 5 salmon bowl. overall, everyone thought it was good and tasty - but i'm not completely bowled over (excuse the pun) - it was okay, have had better poke elsewhere. also, it felt expensive for what you are getting.

maybe will try a 'make my own' next time.
