“ Like their Downtown and Fishers locations, the recent Carmel location delivers on some great Poke. You don't get nickled and dimed on the toppings, the sauces are great, and the seafood is quality. The large is enough for two people if you get all rice - I opt for one scoop of rice and the rest salad. And let's talk about the rice - the unsung hero. Many places overlook their rice - too wet, mushy, or dry. Ali'i always has great rice - plump, separate grains. It really makes a difference and shows the care they put into the product. ”
“ We have to confess that Poke is our favorite food!! But @alipoke is on another level, their hawaiian flavors, freshness and quality of ingredients are the BOMB! They’ve always been friendly and helpful to us when we’ve visited Fishers & Carmel’s location. If you stop by please give their cucumber and lemon water a try! ”
“ We came in to try the shaved ice, and seriously loved our experience! The man who helped us was the friendliest person I've seen at a restaurant in a long time. I was under the impression he's the owner and was wearing glasses, super nice guy. I ordered a build your own shaved ice with matcha and strawberry flavor, and my husband got the pineapple mango signature flavor. We ate outside at their tables which were nice and clean. We both loved what we got! We got regular size but next time we could probably spilt one since it took us about 30 minutes to eat. The owner came out and checked on us to make sure the shaved ice was made properly which was really nice. I'll definitely be back again for dessert!! ”
“ The food everytime makes me happy when I get it, nowhere else in town where you can get as quite fresh poke than here. Great owners here authentically from Hawaii. Support this place! You won’t regret. ”
“ Wow. What a great surprise. I don't think of sushi as a meal and I heard that Poke was like a deconstructed sushi roll, so I never gave it a chance. My loss. This was really good. But the description I was given, nails the flavor. I tried mine with octopus which I never tried in sushi, but I enjoyed it. There are several "proteins" to choose from, but all are seafood. These go over a bed of rice or lettuce (or a mix of both). Then a variety of veggies and sauces. It all came together nicely. For dessert they have HUGE bowls of saved ice with sauce and fruit. We had the strawberry and it was very refreshing. ”
“ I grabbed a quick lunch here while my car was charging across the street, and was pleased with the quick and extremely friendly service! I had a small Create Your Own salmon bowl, which was quite tasty, and a bottled drink from the cooler, and my total came to around 15. This location is convenient to Meijer and other businesses, so it's a great place to grab a bite while running errands. I was in and out of the restaurant quickly, though I did pause outside to eat. (There are a few tables on the sidewalk out front during the warmer months, and in the afternoon they are in shade. It's a nice place to take a break for a few minutes.) ”
“ The staff was so friendly and the options were really good! I really enjoyed the food and the service they provided. The options they provided were beyond expectations. I got the marinated salmon, the flavor of the salmon was good however it didn’t taste marinated. The toppings available were great quality and I found out they make most of their sauces are made in house. Overall the poke was really good! The shaved ice was also amazing. I got the classic and would totally recommend getting this, very large portions and the quality of the ingredients also delicious. ”
“ We love Ali poke and were really happy when they opened one close to home. Fresh poke, great service, clean and spacious restaurant. The store here also sells Hawaiian shaved ice which my kids enjoyed! ”
