Location: Salinas, Ca. It was good while it lasted but it looks like this place has shut down. Looking at the parent website, it seems like Island Fin Poke is no longer available in all of California.

Best poke bowl ? ever! I do highly recommend this delicious place. They have awesome gluten free/dairy free yogurt. Stop by and try it yourself ?.

I didn't eat the food so I can't comment on the food. I was in town and some friends I recommended that I stop by this place. I went in with a group of eight And there were two workers who got us in and out within 10 minutes! (Amazing) I got the mango and strawberry dole whip and my boyfriend got the watermelon and pineapple one. You can mix and match which two flavors you want to get it but the two that I mentioned to came into a swirl. I guess there's also a cherry flavor but they didn't have it that day. Anyways tastes just like a little piece of Hawaii. Absolutely the perfect amount of sweetness as well! Can't wait to go back and try the food.

Fantastic customer service from the girl working there. Gave my review an extra star for her. Overall, decent poke and I'll be back for more Dole whips.

First of all, having this business around is a fresh addition to the food choices. The poke bowls and the choices are plentiful. The protein and veggies choices are fresh.. it's really a great value for the bowls. I'm from Hawaii and I was stunned to see they have a Dole whipped soft serve machine! What?!!!! Mango and pineapple combo is my favorite. Overall, I like the friendly customer service and the tasty poke bowls. Love the island vibe. Broke da mouth for sure!

By far the best Poke I’ve had. Fresh & delicious! The restaurant is always very clean. It’s too bad they’re 2 hours away. So when I’m in town it’s always a must! Friendly staff too! Highly recommend.

I found this place advertised on Facebook and was immediately drawn to it due to my love for poke and the fact that they have dole whip. I've been to several poke places and really liked how I felt at home here; it provides a traditional Hawaiian atmosphere complete with Hawaiian themed music and decor. The girls here are super nice and knowledgeable, especially about the unique marinating sauces. I absolutely love their unique take on options, especially dole whip which comes in four flavors and can be swirled (pineapple and cherry or mango and strawberry). They also have all kinds of Stubborn soda which is a big plus. Definitely a cute and unique place to try!
I'm so glad they brought something so different to Salinas. The poke bowls are so good, fresh 10 out of 10. There customer service is top notch, they are so friendly and nice, I had never had a poke bowl before and they explained everything they had and what everything is will definitely be going back to take my mom so she can try there great food. They gave us some samples of there dole whip... so good we got a couple of them my favorite was the pineapple, no matter what flavor you get they are all good. So glad to have something we have never had in Salinas before.

This was our first time going to this place. We had a coupon for BOGO free Poke bowl. We never had one but love trying new things. As soon as we walk in, the service was incredible. Super friendly they deserve 10 stars to be honest. Beside the service being above and beyond the food was delicious. You can add so much to your bowl and the bowl is well worth it too. Both my boyfriend and I couldn't finish our bowl. Which is great for us cause we have left overs for later. One of the ladies even gave us both a sample of the Dole Whip, of course after tasting we both had to get the full size. I had the half and half (strawberry & Mango) and my boyfriend got the all Mango. If you go it's a MUST get either flavor they are both DELICIOUS. We are super happy with this little restaurant and most definitely will be going back. The both of us highly recommend.

The service was great. She explained the menu and flavors of the different sauces. They offer a wide array of toppings and the poke was delicious.

Great poke bowls and you could taste how fresh the fish is! & gotta love that they serve Dole whip! Clean restaurant and incredibly friendly staff in a casual environment.

This was my first time trying this Poke Bowl restaurant! The food was pretty good and they have a decent amount of options. For those who are vegan, they do have vegan options that are just as tasty! What really made this place stand out was the service I received! The employees were very kind, approachable, and informative.
