The service was excellent, the food and atmosphere were good. The location is easy to find and there's plenty of parking. The only thing I wished they could improve on is the availability of their dole whip flavors. Their vanilla and pineapple ? dole whip soft serve swirl are the best, but they are not always available. Sometimes you have to wait for months for them to be available again. ? The poke bowls were great, but I would have to say the best part about this place is the friendly and helpful personnel. Every time we come, they always greet us with a smile and answer any questions we may have in a friendly manner.Parking: This is a shared plaza and the ample parking spaces for everyone.Kid-friendliness: It's located in a nice neighborhood where you can bring the whole family.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the ground level with a wheelchair accessible parking and entrance.
The service is good. Portions are great for a poke place, there’s not a limit on toppings like some of the other poke bowl spots around. It tastes good, I think the quality could be a little better. Overall it’s good, but every time I get a poke bowl I regret it a few hours later because it makes my stomach feel sick ? I eat plenty of raw sushi and am usually fine. I’ve even ate buffet sushi, but this is the only place where raw fish makes me sick.

Nothing but great things to say about this place! I have never made a review for any restaurant but I love this place so much, that I feel the need to. The food is fresh, wide variety of toppings & sauces, always delicious, and priced well. The staff always goes above and beyond to explain the ingredients and sauces, and they do it with a smile every time. I’ve gotten it for takeout and dine in and both were great, even getting a sample of dole whip when we dined in! Thanks for being one of my favorites!
Yo I’m halfway through this poke bowl and I had to put it down to write a review. This is easily the best poke I’ve had on the east coast and I stop at a lot of places because I travel for work. Great job and quick

Delightful!Food was fresh and tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was cute and clean.I was traveling home from VT with the burrito place in my GPS. When I arrived, I spotted Island Fin across the parking lot. So glad I adjusted my plans! I ordered a veggie bowl with avocado, plus treated myself to a cherry/pineapple twist Dole whip. Super, super delicious :-) Can't wait to go back!Vegetarian options: If you get no protein or get tofu as your protein, I'm pretty sure everything else is vegetarian! Most items are even vegan.

I've given this place multiple chances, and they always disappoint. At least one of the bowls my family orders is always more than half empty and items are often forgotten from the order. I even pay extra to add on extra fish, toppings, etc. and the bowls are still half empty. If you're spending $25+ a bowl it shouldn't be a tiny scoop of rice and a few pieces of fish. It might be better in person, but takeout is hugely disappointing. There's no consistency or quality control.

Food isn't fresh, the staff is rude, and the prices are way to high for mediocre food.Gave them a 2nd try. Ordered extra of fish, and they gave me HALF of what my wife has.Mine almost cost $30 and hers $20. Don't come here. Go to Atlantic Fin Poke instead.

This place was a find. I was seeking GF options besides No bun buddy! It was amazing and under $20 with a drink! Fish was fresh and toppings plenty! I hope they build one near Danvers or Newburyport soon!!
Everything about our experience here was great. 4 stars because the employees didn’t look very happy to be there. I’m concerned that they aren’t being paid enough, or that the boss is a jerk. Usually when employees look miserable, it’s a red flag ?. Might go back a few times to see if that’s a consistent thing, or just happened to be a bad day for the employees when we went. Customer service is not an easy job.

It's a strip mall poke place and if you like strip mall poke, you'll probably like island fin. It's not that different from other poke places I've tried, but it is the closest to my house so its become a regular spot. Lots of topping and sauce options and you get a pretty big bowl of food.
