This is by far the WORST poke I’ve ever had. Maybe the ratings are decent here bc most the people eating it have never had poke that was legit, or poke that actually tasted delicious… but this place ain’t it!!! What a waste of money. I have tried it two times now and I won’t ever go back, I couldn’t even eat more than a few bites of the poke bowl or soup bc it is trash. They loaded the bowl with tons of rice (that was overcooked), tuna is obviously not fresh, plus they gave very little of it, I paid extra for avocado and there was only two small pieces of it, they don’t put sufficient sauce & mix it in the bowls well so it was dry, & most the ingredients are not fresh or well balanced in bowl. It was mostly rice and some greens and very little else. Oh and the Thai soup was AWFUL too. No thank you…. It’s tragic this is the primary place for poke in NOLA

Clean and modern. I had miso ramen, off the printed menu. It was okay, not great.

Called today at 1:52 pm on Jan 3rd and politely informed them there is no way to order ramen on chow chow, ramen nola, or through any of their online websites. They told me I need to order it through uber eats. I told them that I did not need to pay those extra fees with uber eats as I live right next door. They refused to let me order through the phone (Last week they let me order through the phone but this week they would not allow it) Terrible customer service. I would have paid through the phone but it is okay I am going to Gyu-Kaku the next block over since their food and customer service is so much better

Loved this poke place! The seaweed salad was made with wakame (so a little different than some other places) which was fantastic. Nice selection of toppings, including roe for no extra charge. They had interesting specialty drinks, too. This was great!

I hoped that the food was better and more fresh. The crew was pretty much not organized.

Poke loa is a great place to visit if your looking for good poke! The service is good. It's a make-to-order setup so you can pick what you want. The tuna is usually fresh along with the rice and add ins. Recently they stopped carrying chili paste, which is a bummer because that added the right amount of heat without overpowering the dish. Now, you can use chili oil instead, but I haven't quite figured out the exact right amount of that. It's a good problem to work on! Enjoy your poke!

This was my second or third time having a Poke here, and the only disappointing thing was the wait. It was not the fault of the staff, rather of the indecisive Becky who had a triple order for her voracious extra-everything boyfriend back at the loft to fill--by text, and FaceTime in real time. The poke, on the other hand, was fresh and delicious as always and the staff very courteous and patient. Y bonus, los empleados son hispanohablantes.

Clean place with a relaxed vibe. Food was great with nice portion sizes, definitely worth the price considering you’re getting fresh seafood and produce.
Fabulous! Yellow fin tuna, ginger, wasabi aioli, edamame and avocado! Loved every bite. And when we needed a coke to go he was nice enough to comp it!

Absolutely delicious! The poke is great, but also the ramen is fantastic. It's always tough deciding what to get because I just want everything.

My wife and I travel the country a lot and we always try to find Hawaiian inspired places whichever city we're in. Poke Loa has some of the best Poke we've had! Amazing flavors, friendly staff, and in a cool clean environment. They even have a tiki bar which is a neat touch! Fresh food is at its pinnacle here!
