Oké Poké in Manchester

Terrible service. They’re much more focussed on serving the Deliveroo/Uber Eats drivers than the public standing in line. The drivers constantly push in front of everyone else. I wasted 10 minutes of my lunch hour waiting in a queue that didn’t move at all. The food is good when you get it but not worth waiting 20 minutes for.

Ordered a Salmon Poké on Glovo. Quantity of salmon so small that it is almost invisible. Very unfortunate because the quality is not bad and other restaurants are much more generous with salmon in their Pokés.

This place has changed a lot since the last time I came. The portions were very small for the price - significantly smaller than those of other poke bowl places I’ve been to in the past. The rice wasn’t just warm it was HOT and it still had quite a bit of starch left on the grains. The server was very passive and once I’d received my food and sat down to eat he went around the restraunt practicing karate(??) moves as though no one was there 😭😭 It was all in all a very odd experience and I don’t think I’d come back.

Tasty food and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be coming here again 🙂

Had lunch here and very much enjoyed. Made my own poke bowl and we ate in. The place itself lacked atmosphere and was ridiculously warm, needs some AC! But the food was good and fresh. I really enjoyed it. But do agree with some of the other comments about it being weird that the sushi rice is warm.

Came to Manchester originally for the xmas market and knew I'd have to also try a sushi burrito whilst here. Was quite empty when we came in but staff are lovely and even though it was quite late in the day the selection of food was amazing & tasted just as good too. If you like sushi I'd definitely recommend trying one, shall be back next time in manny!

Disappointing service today, the lady serving us was so quiet I could barely hear anything and as I was building my own bowl she informed me that the tuna wasn’t available. I said I’d wait but I was told there’s no tuna at all. How can there be none of one of the main ingredients of your dish? Awful customer service.

Food poor quality more rice than anything else disappointed.

I've walked past this place a few times and thought it didn't look particularly exciting, especially compared to junk food places. But I was so wrong, I urge you to try it!

Excellent ingredients, generous portions. Very nice place

Pretty good selection of protein and meat. I just can't understand why the sushi rice is served hot, so it cooks the fish that's supposed to be raw? I would give it a higher rating if the rice weren't hot.

Good place for lunch. I've been coming here intermittently since it opened years ago. I always build my own bowl now so I get exactly what I like to eat. I've eaten in twice and I've been the only person there, which I don't mind but others might.

It's a pretty good poke place, they're generous with the toppings and the staff are nice. A bit slow with the food being ready but otherwise it was very tasty and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Good poke bowls. Not perfect, mainly because I asked for the classic soy-sauce based sauce and noted I'd like just a little of it, but it still came saltier than most poke bowls. Lesser of an issue the avocado which I don't enjoy as much if it is super ripe - but that's definitely subjective.

Terrible experience for a lunch time break. No ingredients left, no drinks, only one staff member who didn't even acknowledge me... Very pricey too considering all the above.

£13 for a half filled bowl... had better Poke bowls double the size for less!

Turned up twice now at supposed opening times and twice it’s been closed. Wasted my time twice driving into the city centre. If you’re going to advertise opening times at least commit to them instead of wasting customers time. I will no longer be spending a penny with this business. Shambles.

Very expensive for what you get. I came to Manchester from London for work, and my normal Poké takeaway in London is £10 and you get twice the amount. This place was more expensive and you got less.... However, it did taste good and was a nutritious meal on the go!

I come here EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm in Manchester for work. The food is fresh, tasty and the owner is a wonderful friendly person always willing to help you decide on all the delicious options.

Brown rice was hard, raw and the selection of ingredient was poor. 30£ is Too expensive for 2 pokes and tap water.

The food is okay. Portion size is *small*. Guy serving couldn’t be arsed. The sushi rice is really hot which totally ruined the whole thing as the fish basically started cooking on it. This cost £10.99 for takeaway.

This place was ok. But expensive especially for extra ingredients. The cucumber was cut too big as I expected everything in the bowl to be bite size so I could mix it all together. Also the rice was served warm so started to cook my salmon as I was eating it.

Nobody answers the phone, their ordering system on UberEats does not work (some options are disabled so my order cannot go through). If you care about customer service at all, avoid.

Prefect healthy eating spot - Great options for veggie vegan. Loved that you could create your own bowl too.

The staff its horrible not engaging at all ! They never have burritos 🌯 it's not worth going trust me !

Fresh and tasty food. Nice atmosphere

Really enjoyed it, nice food Young lad who served us was really pleasant and helpful. Not been before but talked us through it and gave good advice!

Portions are far too small for the price

The food is good but the portion was TINY, really so not get much for your money. If portions were bigger I would give much higher rating

How this place still has good reviews I’ll never know. When I first came here a few years ago I loved the food but it’s really gone down hill recently. The last few times I’ve ordered, the rice has been undercooked, the seaweed has been chewy and the portions have gone tiny. I don’t mind paying more money when it’s good quality food, but this place it really overpriced and they take forever to serve. Will not be going back again.

Quality was great, however i dont think 2 ice-cream scoops of rice is enough for a portion. Who are you rationing the rice for? Its a cheap ingredient felt hungry after and went down the road for more food. Honi poke does it better.

Small portions, way to much dressing Salmon not fresh

Food was really good! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Only issue is accessibility - building is not wheelchair accessible, but had a disabled toilet, which again was not wheelchair accessible due to the things blocking the door. The entrance had no flat entrance and had stairs going up. Luckily I am an ambulatory wheelchair user so I was able to still access but just concerned for those who have to use their wheelchairs (though I understand the building may be old or such). However staff let us store the wheelchair out of way for us which was very kind.

Food was ok. But the place was very un clean. Won’t be going back unfortunately

Customised my own pokerito and it was delicious: great choice of fillings and it all tasted very fresh. Service was quick and friendly. My only complaint is the price and portion size: my pokerito was the size of a small wrap that you'd get in a supermarket meal deal, but cost £9.99. I won't be going back unless they change the prices, start doing something like student discount, or make their portions larger unfortunately.

What a decent little find. The top geezer behind the counter was closing up for the day and he wasn’t gonna serve me because they were closed but I told him I’d been trying to visit the place for ages so he did me a solid. Great hospitality from the guy and a good conversation too. Took the food to go and ate it on the gardens. Straight up damn delicious. Fresh, tasty, light, decent portion and doesn’t cost an absolute mint. Worth a visit. Special shoutouts to the guy behind the counter. Top bloke.

Great food and drink but the prices are extremely high leaves you a bit bitter being ripped off trying to find a healthy alternative place taken advantage for being a consumer who wants to eat clean. Its not financially accesible for many - barrier to many who want to eat clean. I wouldnt even say its a treat to go, just that you cant visit regularly because you'll go through your money quick. I would only recommend if needing something healthy on the go and don't have time to find anywhere else near.

Awesome gluten-free options! The man working was super helpful about what items had cross contamination!

Made up price on card machine, undercooked rice, small portion, strange atmosphere.

Not open when they said they are 4:07

Wow this was absolutely amazing, we got the tofu tastic and a build your own, cannot recommend the tofu enough & the classic sauce!!! the rice was hot and toppings delicious, perfect lunch!!

My family and I visited as we were doing our own little food tour and we called into oke Poke. There was no one else in the restaurant and when we came to order we were told there was only the bowls available. So we went for the tuna bowl and it was absolutely delicious, it cost £10 which is expensive for lunch but the ingredients were all so fresh and tasty and an excellent portion size so I can justify the £10 price tag.

I love the poke bowls from here and would normally get one every couple of weeks as a lunch treat. It was never cheap - £8.49 (with one additional garnish) but I could justify it as it was really good. However the recent price hikes to £10.99 and now brought back down slightly to £9.99, (before any extras), is in my opinion, too expensive for what you get. I can't bring myself to pay over £10 for a lunch when even £8.50 I regarded as a treat. Not to mention they don't fill the tub up as much as they used to! If it went back to the old prices I would continue to go frequently, however I haven't been for around 6 months purely based on value for money. A stampable loyalty card for e.g. buy 5 get one free would even make me consider revisiting, I just feel as though they're pricing themselves out of a lot of business as it stands.

Really good portion size, enough for my lunch tomorrow! Very good ratio of toppings to rice and very generous with the sauce. Friendly service and all very fresh. Rice was warm but I did go in at opening so I imagine it had just been made and I don't mind it being warm if it's fresh. Would recommend!

Ragazzi se passate di qui prendete la pizza “Come una volta” capirete la differenza. L’impasto 10 e lode. Il pomodoro e la mozzarella di qualità assoluta. Spettacolare!

Healthy and delicious food, served quickly in a pleasant setting. The 'make your own' bowl option ensures you get exactly what you want. Why can't these be everywhere?!

This is not good poke. Maybe I ordered wrong. The rice was hot, bland and pretty gross. The ingredients didn't seem very fresh. It was just overall pretty disappointing compared with other poke places. at £10 a bowl, I was expecting more.

Average food with fresh ingredients although notably small portions. Staff did upgrade my bowl when I complained as I felt it was disappointing for the price, so good customer service. Coffee was diabolical.

Amazing food and excellent service 👍 I go nearly every week and never been disappointed 😊

I've been here to eat with a friend and while we were eating at the table we saw a mouse running in the shop and then hiding in the kitchen. Disgusting

The food and smoothies are very nice. The only down side is that the poke bowl is a bit small considering the price

Good tasting poké with lots of options. The amount of food is rather small for the price, though (£10).

Love it. Awesome tasting healthy food, highly recommended. You’ve had poke before but was it ever this good?

We ordered takeaway. I must say that the pokeritos did not meet our expectations. We saw all these nice pics people have shared of well stuffed pokeritos and what we got was something that was lacking ingredients! Just a few tiny pieces of kimchi(couldn't even taste it), a bit too chunky pieces of not really torched zucchini and the teriyaki sauce was basically nonexistent. The ingredients were far from evenly distributed across. Everything was fresh and yummy, but for the price and the pictures seen, it was quite disappointing! Shame, I was really looking forward to it, thinking it would become a frequent customer. Might give it a chance in the distant future if things seem to have improved, but for now, not spending here!

Great food. However the prices have gone up while the portions have gone down :/

If you know your Poké bowls... you must try this wonderful little spot. The most fresh and delicious flavours. The best in Manchester!

I used to get Poke all of the time but this is the first place since moving back home where I've been able to get it local-ish. Friendly staff, large menu and an a fair price. Really good standard of hygiene. Will be back.

The guy who serves has a severe attitude problem, never had someone be so rude for no reason. Think he needs to learn customer service skills.

Popped in at a lunch time and we're really glad we did. Everything tasted really fresh and it was great to be able to build our own bowl instead of having to order solely off of the set menu! Would recommend!

Thr food is very fresh and delicious, concise menu and relativley quick service. Inside looks pretty and we had a good time.

I got takeaway from here during my lunch break and it was delicious! I had the teriyaki chicken option from the set menu. I really enjoyed eating it and it felt very healthy with lots of fresh vegetables. The black rice is a little difficult to pick up with chopsticks but that's my fault! The price is about right for what you get though the portion is definitely more like a light lunch rather than a full meal. Overall, yummy and I'm sure I'll be back

Love Poke but recent months both quality and quantity have gone down the hill

This place is just brilliant!! Food and the price. Well done guys can't wait to visit again soon.

Awesome food and very nice atmosphere. If only Bikram Yoga was still open, I'd be there all the time.

The bowls are delicious! Thanks to the quality ingredients you serve! Customer service is lovely, thanks to Alexandra, the girl from the counter! Keep it like this and you will never disappoint 👍

Terrible staff :( The food is ok... nothing special. The problem was the treatment that the staffs provided ... mainly the man who released sexism and bad attention. I will never return and I will never recommend 🤮

Yummy food, bowl packed with nutrients and filling

I have eaten at Oke Poke twice, once at the restaurant maybe 2 years ago and once on Deliveroo a few months ago. When I went there in person I was excited to try a poke place in Manchester. I'm from California and poke is very popular there. On that visit, the food was just okay. The rice was not sushi rice but was normal long grain rice which was very dry, I think at this point they had very limited options in terms of protein, sauces and toppings and only let you choose a few toppings. The portions were very small for what you paid and the actual quality of the food was fine but not amazing. I decided to give Oke Poke another try on Deliveroo a few months ago because I saw they had improved their selection and had more options for toppings and customisation. This time I wasn't able to actually finish my poke bowl because the fish tasted off. I had a salmon bowl and half of the salmon was brown coloured and was clearly not fresh. I'm not sure if sushi grade fish was used but the texture and colour of the salmon did not seem fresh. Unfortunately I don't think I will try Oke Poke again which is a shame since I would love to have a good poke place in Manchester.

I've been ordering pokè bowls from Deliveroo since a couple of months now, in my 4 years using Deliveroo almost every week, I can't think of any restaurants in Manchester with the same service, the quality of the food is incredible, the tuna and the salmon are simply amazing, also what you get for the price you pay is literally unbelievable. I'm sure I will be a Oke Pokè customer for very long!

The tofu bowl was delicious. Would've prefered hard corn tacos instead of the wrap that fell apart though.

The staff was the absolute best!

Very nice Poké bowls, portions are very small but they have good variety in terms of toppings.

Found this place from the Cob n Friends vid!! Its amazing here 💖

Lovely service and delicious food. Very flavoursome and great portion size.

Amazing! So fresh and super tasty! Made my own "magic bowl" and can't wait to have it again! 👌👌

Amazing poké, friendly staff. I loved that they had recycled napkins, only give you straws when you specifically ask for them and have water bottles from a company that sends nothing to landfill. Great to see companies making an effort!

De cuatro pedidos, dos estaban mal. Eramos los unicos clientes del local en ese momento. Salvo el responsable, el personal poco educado y todavia menos cualificado. Pese a todo los pokes son buenos.

The food is amazing, but their customer service is the worst! I can't even tell you how many times I walk in and just stand there watching them (no matter who's behind the counter) acting all confused over whatever it is there looking at. Ignoring the fact that someone walked in. Then when they finally do look up there's next to nothing to come out of their mouth leaving you to stumble around in telling them what you want. As they then look at you confused as if it's their first day, every day. Someone looking to open a new business should do a poke shop so I can stop going here. A smile would be all you need to improve upon what this place offers.

Really tasty food! Loved that I could build my own poke bowl. Definitely a good place for vegetarians too.

Fantastic food. All fresh. One of the best places in an area full of great food.

Good healthy food presented well and very tasty. Lots of options for vegetarians and pescetarians. Portions are small to medium in size.

I love getting a poké bowl from this place! It tastes amazing and you can build your own bowl (pick your ingredients). Maybe a tiny bit in the pricey side but it's worth it!

The Teriyaki Bowl is great. One drawback is the food is not very filling. More expensive to sit in (that's not Oke) so would recommend takeaway and having something to eat before ordering

Been here a few times and the food is lovely, fresh and healthy. Brilliant lovely staff and it is actually not as expensive as you would think. Love the decor inside and perfect for a nice, relaxing place to eat

Good fresh food but expensive to eat in for a small bowl of poke

They serve some fantastic poke bowls. Super healthy and very fresh - I will be coming to Oke Poke again!

What a fail...so two people, Thursday night and the place is empty, wanted to try something fresh and different, I found a very very poor cousin to Wagamama’ don’t expect the fusion and taste to really capture you. We arrived, no explanation, what or how does this place work’ it doesn’t. Two medium sized bowls if you imagine cupping your hands’ 2/3 filled with food and two medium sized cups of juices’ £27, yup £27. I am robbed, I counted my salmon pieces’ 8 into tiny chunks’ I want my money back.

Little gem! Food is fresh & great service. Kimchi soup was amazing. Very filling. Lovely staff treated us to some mochi balls. Definitely will be back.

Good food and very friendly service!

Really enjoyed my first poke bowl. Delicious

I had my first ever Poke bowl recently on a trip to London and have been dying to find somewhere locally that does them also. After a quick Google search, this is the only place I could find in the Manchester area that did them so I visited over the weekend and was pleased to find a great selection on the menu with ready made dishes or a build your own option too. A little on the expensive side (I paid more here than I did for the one in London) but a nice treat from a quirky NQ find.

Fast, kind staff, food that makes you not only feel full but immediately refreshed. The lady who owns the place is really sweet as well.

Excellent food. Very fresh . Friendly staff in a nice area. A must try ! I usually let the staff order for me as they know what taste best and i was never deceive !

Amazing food! Try their Build Your Own Poké Bowl with IKIKI and WASABI sauces with some Longboard or Big wave!

Not London experience but still quite good

The food tasted healthy and fresh. The lady who served me was warm and friendly. Thumbs up.

Great food! Expensive though! £15 for a bowl and a drink! 😬

Well-priced, fast, convenient, and really great food. Reasonably sized portions of everything, even the avocado and raw fish - which I had wrongly presumed there would be little of. So delicious. Love it, would return often.

Nice staff, nice food, free water. The shop looks so nice inside. The food was fresh and delicious.

Lovely staff, helped me when I was newbie to the ordering system
