Poke Restaurant · Downtown-Penn Quarter-Chinatown · 22 tips and reviews

AmbAmb: Ahi tuna (unmarinated) is fresh! Get the sriracha aioli, sweet shoyu, or wasabi shoyu for classic spicy mayo, soy sauce, or wasabi-soy sauce flavors. Seafood salad is too fishy and underseasoned.

Peter C.Peter Centofante: Pricey, but delicious!

Polina W.Polina Weitz: Delicious poke! They have great fish quality and I love the customizable bowls. Highly recommended
