I got there at 4:22 PM and it was closed already. I shouldn't give a star but the only way I can leave a review. I rush my way there from the Venetian pool which is like 7 mins away to get there and have something to eat with my family and the place was already closed at 4:22 pm. We ended up going to the sandwich place acceso them which was really good.

Poke Bowls haven't ever been my go to thing, however this place was very good. They were out of some ingredients but I was told this before placing my order which is always a good thing. I like the fact that the poke bowls come in two sizes and that the prices are reasonable. Serivice was above average. It's a good healthy type option if you just want a nice, rather quick meal. They are not open on Sundays and they close at 5pm, so make your last call right around 4:45pm or you might be out of luck. Street parking only in this area and I recommend the garage on the east side at the end of Giralda, it has reasonable rates and they have covered parking. Drink choices were poor here with basically teas and water, no fountain drinks that I was aware of. Customizable meals is a plus.

Not sure what has happened to this place! It seems that they have given up, with all the competition that was succeeded them. Lack of attention from the staff (waited for the girl to finish her text conversation, before asking if she could help me) Ingredients on the questionable side... Very disappointing.

This is my go to spot for lunch when I’m in the office. The fish is always fresh and the portions are a good size.The spicy salmon bowl is the best.

I work in the gables and live trying new restaurants on Fridays. Came in to Mana Poke with high hopes (I love poke!). I was a little disappointed wenbi went in because the topping options were pretty limited. I got the veggie bowl with spicy watermelon which was pretty good.After getting bach to my office, I checked my receipt and saw that I was charged extra for the watermelon and wakame which was supposed to be included in my bowl. I was frustrated that my lackluster bowl was now totalling $18+.I went back and was greated with excellent customer service. I was immediately acknowledged and apologized to. Not only was the extra charges refunded, but my entire bowl.What Mana Poke might have missed in options, they made up for in customer experience. I would probably go back if I wanted a simple bowl.Vegetarian options: Veggie bowl with spicy watermelon.

its a nice little place in Geralda walk where they serve sakes, Asian beers, and selective wines besides the poke bowl and bao buns.Not much of a fan of the poke bowl, I think whole food has a better bowl when it comes to freshness and taste.

The food was great, fresh and delicious! I found it via a Groupon deal (a really good deal) and tried it out and was not disappointed. Will and Yari delivered excellent customer service and listened to my likes and dislikes and built the perfect poke bowl with one scoop of tuna and one scoop of tuna with kimchi marinade on both. It was really amazing! Can't wait to go back. It's nice to support local businesses that deliver quality service. Enjoy!

Came here during lunch because I was craving a poke bowl. It's always tough choosing in the area because of all the options. Let me start off by saying the staff was very kind to me and were great with the portions they even brought me water. So going in I knew that the menu was going to be simple. I expected it to just be poke bowls but what I didn't expect was being underwhelmed by the options to put on the poke bowl. I'm not too picky with what I eat but I struggled to find 3 things to put on top. I chose the spicy salmon as my protein, it tasted fresh but not spicy enough for my taste. The bowl overall was good but too plain. The restaurant was clean and had a good amount of seating. The kitchen seemed like a waste of space though. It was a big area and they had the rices and small amount of toppings crammed into a corner so on top of their being a limited selection I could barely even see what there was. I do love poke bowls so I'll have to keep looking what's available in the area.

Ive been to many poke restaurants all over Florida and so far this is the worst. 1st the rice was hard and undercooked. 2nd the salmon tasted weird like metal I could say. The spicy mayo is off does not taste like spicy mayo. 3rd they where missing most of the ingredients every other poke usually has, no imitation crab ( she said they had some yesterday) no crab salad no diced chicken no tofu, no Edamame shredded carrots, Masago just to name a few. Overall worst poke bowl I’ve ver had. They do have great customer service though.

I love poke, but this was different. Spicy mayo tasted more like regular mayo. And fish (tuna and salmon) while both looked good and fresh, were completely tasteless. Service was great they just need to figure out the food. Sad to leave a bad review.
I love this place. I started ordering their bowls a while back ago. I feel like the way they put the sauces keeps changing? I used to get a drizzle of sauce and then some on the side. NOW, when I order the kimchi bowl they put a soup of soy at the bottom and then drizzle the kimchi on the top. My mouth is burning from the amount of sodium I am eating, but there's no time to order anything else. Check this out:

I come here religiously. Whenever you get a pokebowl from here ask for avocado!! It literally sends you to heaven. The ingredients are always fresh and amazing. The staff is so nice and helpful everytime with recommendations. My favorite is the lava bowl with avocado. See you next time ❤️!

Tip: Check in on Yelp for 10% off! My local friend warned me to stay away from Asian food in Miami. I should've listened to her, as I was very underwhelmed by my experience at Mana Poke. First of all, I'm not sure whether the name is Mana Poke or Pokebito, as the menu displays the former but sign outside the restaurant displays the latter. You can either choose from one of the preset bowls or create your own. I opted to create my own bowl. I got a small for $12.59 after the 10% Yelp check-in discount. I got my poke bowl with half white rice and half greens. Unfortunately for the greens, the only option they had was arugula. I'm used to having salad greens as an option on the west coast. They didn't have a lot of fish options, just unmarinated tuna and salmon and spicy marinated tuna and salmon. I don't eat spicy food at all, so I opted for the unmarinated salmon, even though it didn't look fresh at all. After choosing my accompaniments, I thought the worker would toss everything in my desired sauce (that's what all the poke places in California do), but all she did was drizzle the sauce over my bowl. I was very disappointed by this, as tossing the ingredients in the sauce helps distribute the flavor evenly. The poke bowl was as I expected... okay but not amazing.

I really like the place. Food is always fresh, ingredients are good and most of the stuff are amazing.my only with is that they where open longer

the raw salmon looks cooked and the portions are a bit small. Overpriced for the quality of the food
