I can’t believe I’ve never been here! I’ve only had Poke at 2 other places in Vegas, but this is BYFAR the freshest of the 3. Not to mention there are a ton of different flavor options. Yum yum yum! Now come to Summerlin

There are not too many good places that serve poke in the Las Vegas area, but this spot in Henderson has probably the best poke I’ve had in the two areas! SERVICE I don’t really order from Island Sushi(the restaurant poke express is in). I usually go straight to where they sell poke. Every time I have went the service has been great and the gentleman that I always see is always welcoming. ATMOSPHERE It is a very small restaurant with very few tables. It usually can get full so I recommend taking the poke to go. FOOD Salmon Poke: I love salmon and Poke Express is one of the few places that serve fresh, tasty salmon poke. It is also not drenched in the sauce already like some places but you can always ask for it to be. I like to pass on the sauce. Spicy Ahi Poke: I usually order this with my salmon poke. The spicy mayo and the smelt egg sauce is great and the tuna is fresh as well. I usually order half orders of each of these, so a pound every time I visit. The total usually comes out to be around $ 16. There are other sizes that you can choose from as well. *As a side note I recommend going during the day. Towards the late afternoon to closing they can run out of some selections.

This is a 3 part restaurant in one place. There is the sushi largest section, the poke and the grill part are in the other sections. Ordered a mini garlic chicken comes with 1 scoop of rice and mac or green salad, had the green salad, came with a vinaigrette that was good. The Poke I had the furkikake, avocado and lumi — 1⁄3 portions of each(smallest) goes on up. The furkikake was excellent could have had more onions, the avocado needed more avocado(got one small piece) and the lumi was ok. Over all good fresh poke’s but they need to add a little more of the sides i.e. onions, avocado, or seaweed. Clean and staff is friendly and fast. Made to order dishes, not under a heat lamp. Will go back for more.

When I first came here I didn’t know there was a counter in the back for poke orders. The place you’re looking for is ISLANDSUSHI then walk to the back counter to check out their poke. I’m a big salmon fan so I get salmon every time. You can get 1 – 2 scoops of rice with your poke as well. Garlic ahi poke isn’t too shabby. The ocean salad(seaweed) is nice. Get the 1⁄3 lb if you just want to try any of the other poke. I’m still trying to cycle through them and see which I like the best aside from poke. :) Definitely a promising poke place to check out for all your poke cravings.

Just like the location in North Las Vegas(my review here: ), Poke Express serves some of the freshest and most flavorful poke you’ll have on the mainland. The fact that you can get it in the middle of the desert is nothing short of a miracle. This Poke Express shares space with Island Sushi & Grill; when you enter, the grill/kitchen is to your left, the sushi restaurant is to your right, and Poke Express is the refrigerated cases straight back. Like their other storefront, the service is spectacular and you can sample to your heart’s content. You won’t be sampling long, though, since you’ll want to devour a pound of that magical fish ASAP. Order and pay immediately or you can add it to your order from the grill. Although the selection isn’t quite as large as the North Las Vegas market, this PE offers a place to sit down to scarf down the poke and the bonus of Island Sushi & Grill’s Hawaiian menu. In addition to our poke, we also shared a salmon skin bowl(yum!) and took a dozen malasadas back to our hotel to share with our family. My wife and I like to keep things simple at PE: we made two trips here last time and ordered one half-pound of the Furukake poke and a third-pound of a few others(shoyu; ahi with limu) and an order of steamed rice. It’s like making your own high-quality chirashi bowl for a fraction of the price of what you’d pay at a hotel or a restaurant. Highly recommended.

Everytime I came to Vegas, I always have to drop by and pick up some poke. We always get the furikake ahi poke and the salmon with special sauce. We eat them with the Club crackers(bought it separately at walmart). It’s so good but pricey. Almost $ 16 a lb. The salmon with special sauce is my favorite. When ordering to go, have them put the special sauce on the side. It can get salty if the salmon sits in the sauce for a period of time. Make sure its their special sauce, not shoyu. There are two locations. This one and one on Craig Rd. Service is good at both location. Try to come early because they will run out of salmon quickly.

Poke on the ninth island doesn’t get any better than this. It’s dangerous how close my current rotation is to Poke Express, I come here just about ever week. Poke Express is located in Island Sushi towards the back of the restaurant. The restaurant has changed over the years, they now are open later and offer more of a variety of poke. I remember when they ran out of a certain flavor, they would be out for the day and I was forced to come early for what I wanted. Now, if they are running low of a certain kind of poke, they will gladly make you one to order! That’s the biggest plus to me! Now I can get Spicy Masago and Mayo anytime I want! Another thing that’s great about the guys at Poke Express is how hospitable they are. Sometimes the lines can get long, but they take their time and makes sure everyone leaves happy. They offer samples if you can’t decide which one to choose. My favorites beside the spicy masago and mayo include spicy avocado ahi and furikake ahi. Prices are by the pound. Most items are priced around $ 16/lb. They have different sizes of containers depending on your need, I like that you don’t have to order a full pound, you can get a third or half pound if you are looking to try different kinds or just want a smaller portion. I always grab my poke to go, but you can dine in and they also offer rice if you want to make it a poke bowl.

I basically flew all the way from LA to LV to try this place because my friends who live in vegas raved about poke express… however they went to the other location. Anyway, I was craving poke and really wanted to try this one even though it’s inside another store. You can sample the different options! I wanted to order the spicy ahi with avocado but there was only a little bit left and wasn’t sure if it was still fresh. I opted for the 1/3lb furikake ahi. The ahi tuna itself is delicious — definitely some of the freshest I’ve had but I wished I sampled it first because it ended up being really salty and I didn’t bother ordering rice. I’m not sure if it was worth the price($ 15.95/lb) but at least I got to satisfy my poke craving. I wish they offered salmon!

A little poke deli. There are around 6 different kinds for $ 15.99/lb. They offer samples, which is great to taste before ordering. I got 3 flavors, 1⁄3 lb each to share as a snack. Doesn’t look like a lot per container, but def filling. There are almost no poke delis in Seattle(where I’m from), so this place is pretty dang awesome to me! I’d come back if I was in town! Very reasonable pricing too!

Good poke but the ratio to price is a bit steep! I tried the combo spicy ahi which had avocados, imitation crab and other garnishes combined with the ahi and spicy mayo. The flavor was very fresh and it was quite enjoyable. The portions were not very big which I guess is what happens when eating poke in the desert. I only ordered a ½ pound which was a great side to the rest of the food I ordered but I will definitely get a whole pound next time! The ambiance is very casual and the service for the POKEBAR specifically was excellent. The guy behind the counter even allowed toothpick taste tests. Glad to know there’s a poke spot such as this in Vegas!

This is the best place to get Hawai’ian Poke in Vegas! What is Poke? It’s a Hawai’ian appetizer made of fresh fish or any other edible items from the sea. There are a variety of options here from Ahi(tuna), mussels, Tako(octopus), seaweed salad, edamame, etc. Great prices, you pay by weight. The container sizes are: small = ¼ pound medium = ½ pound large = 1 full pound … which are displayed on the counter above the poke. My family and I come here often. My faves are: — Kim Chee Mussels Poke — Spicy Ahi Poke with Masago & Mayo — Kim Chee Imitation Crab — the cucumbers — the Taegu — oh… and I almost forgot the Seasoned Edamame!(my bad, silly me) The Ahi Limu is pretty good too. Oh yeah… Trust me and try the seasoned edamame! Tastes buttery(it’s probably sesame oil & shoyu) & it has a good amount of spice(red pepper), not too hot. I have not tried everything there, but I will be back often to accomplish that! The guys at the counter always have the«aloha spirit» on. They are friendly and helpful. If you would like to sample any of the selections, just ask! And I love that they all have the pidgin accent. Makes me feel at home and ho brah, the pidgin is contagious! Every time I go here, I feel like I’m back home in Hawai’i. This place is at the top of my fave list for Hawai’ian food in Vegas. The quality and service are on point, a well deserved 5 stars. Note: sometimes they run out especially if it’s towards closing time, so come early if can for best selection!

The fact that there are three restaurants under one roof is genius. This place does some awesome fresh poke. The Island plate counter has loco moco and other hawaiian goodies, and to the right there is a sushi restaurant that was popping. Soooo Many options! I want it all and then some. It was almost like a festive potluck once we brought all the food together on the table. Speaking of which this would be awesome to pick up stuff to make a picnic :) Why are there no good hawaiian places in LA? I want the whole combo of roasted pork loco moco and fresh poke… Soo good… If yall are going, bring me back some ya here.

I wish this place was in Los Angeles! Located in a strip mall, there’s tons of easy parking. Three restaurants in one place means you can get some sushi, poke, hawaiian, and yummy desserts too. There are tables & chairs, and I think you can order grill items from the poke counter too. We had lunch here before we hit the road to drive back home, & I literally did not need to eat til the next day.(Ok, well except some of the leftovers haha) Everything was GREAT: Poke — sold by the weight, they had like a dozen different choices, as well as kimchi cucumbers, seaweed salad, and whole garlic cloves Loco Moco — mmmm, fatty pork, short grain rice, runny eggs & a meaty gravy Tres Leches cake with guava Guava layer cake Malasadas filled with custard, coconut or chocolate cream Butter mochi The sushi restaurant that’s attached also does ayce. In LA, there are a lot of great poke places, but I don’t know where to get loco moco with slices of fatty pork instead of the hamburger. So the next time I come here, I’d get the poke again, but the loco moco would be what I’d make the special trip for!

Poke express inside is freaking amazing. Fish has no tendon, and was pre marinated first. When poke done right, it’s like rolling around the clouds. They will let you sample their food and if they are out of something, you can ask them to make it for you on the spot. Very friendly and hands down the best poke around.

Authentic & great tasting poke, if you’re craving something from the islands. Many different combinations but my top 3 are the ahi spicy mayo, kimchi w raw tako, & ahi with Hawaiian sea salt, shoyu, & limu.

Don’t get frustrated looking for this hole in the wall. This is a poke counter within a restaurant, so look for signs for Island Sushi & Grill. This joint is tiny and tight, but so worth it. Arguably, this place can easily survive in Hawaii. Yes, it’s previously frozen fish and prices are a bit high at about $ 16/lb, but you will agree this is a good fix for good poke. Heavily seasoned, I still enjoy the avocado ahi and tako kimichi. With a quick appetizer, that leaves plenty of room for me to enjoy their awesome kalua pig w/cabbage or even a mini chicken katsu curry. This place reminds me of Hawaii and it’s so nice to see some folks originally from the Motherland dining here to validate the aloha here. My only beef is their malasada was a sorry excuse. We got it fresh and it just permeated of alcohol and the first bite was, gag! I was upset, because I found a hair on my malasada and they replaced it with a non-fresh one. I got over it, learned my lesson and will never order it again. Other than that, this place is a solid 4 stars for me. Pay $ 2 for the frequent customer loyalty card. After you spend $ 250, they credit $ 25 for food here.(This card is not good for the poke counter, just for the kitchen food and sushi from the restaurant)

Really great poke! I dislike like poke spots that over sauce the fish, but it’s perfect here! The guys behind the counter are so nice. Super fresh fish+ great taste We got salmon poke, tako(octopus) with limo?, octopus with wasabi, and ahi tuna Hawaiian style. Def recommend stopping by!

As a big fan of Poke this is the best place in Vegas for Poke. It is Hawaiian style and remind me of Ono Seafood in Waikiki. They have several to chose from which can make it tough to choose. I got the spicy Avocado Ahi which was fresh and delicious. The spicy Ahi with masago and mayo was perfection. The taste was to die for and the Ahi just melted in your mouth. We got a ¼ pound of the seasoned dry skipjack tuna which was also amazing. We got the seasoned garlic bulbs which were not overpowering at all. I really enjoyed their unique flavor. We also got the Kimchee cucumbers and imitation crab which were both a tasty treat. The staff is excellent and helpful. They had run out of the spicy Ahi but they quickly made us a fresh batch. This was my 2nd visit and I will definitely be back. The quality of their Poke s truly amazing. The freshness made me think I was in Hawaii!

I truly love Poke Express. Even when they are super busy they try to work as fast as they can to help everyone. They are always helpful and willing to tell you about the different pokes. My favorite poke is the Salmon which comes with a special sauce.(I always ask for the special sauce with all my poke.) Since the Salmon is so tasty of course all the people know it! So if you want it to you better get there early in the day. My other favorite Poke is the Hawiian or the Ahi Shoyu. Both of those have such flavor. Poke is great! Such a healthy meal! It tastes good, is full of protein and low in carbs. Score!

There are two locations and this one is located inside Island Sushi. It’s smaller and they don’t offer as many items as the Craig Road location. However, they offer the same quality of Poke. I ordered the Furikake Poke and Salmon Poke and both were delicious. Their fish is fresh and very flavorful. This definitely satisifed my Poke craving while I was in Vegas. Since it’s located inside Island Sushi, you can also order a local plate or some Malasadas for dessert.
