I tried this place last night and was very impressed. I live in DC Ranch and eat Pok? a lot. No more trekking 16 miles back and forth to Shea and Scottsdale Road!
Koi Pok? has the most fresh fish I have ever had other than being in Hawaii. I had the yellowtail and regular tuna and it was insane good! They gave me a sample of the yellowtail on a little tasting skewer before I ordered with no sauce or seasoning on it and it melted in my mouth and tasted amazing. You know it's fresh when you can eat a piece of raw, plain fish and it tastes great.
They also gave me samples of whatever sauces they have before I ordered and I have to say it was a difficult decision because they were all great! But the Spicy Shoyu and the House were incredible
I went with the House and will try the Spicy Shoyu next time.Super friendly staff and very cool atmosphere too. By far the best Pok? place in town and I've tried them all!
OK I've now been here a few times and just tried the Hawaiian Snow Ice - Pina Colava (not a typo, but a play on words being Hawaiian and all), get it...volcano? Anyway sorry for the rant, it was delicious! Coconut flavored snow ice with coconut flakes, fresh pineapple and caramel. So so tasty.
Also, I just read a couple of these reviews that are complaining about the rice. With all due respect to my fellow yelpers, Pok? is not supposed to be served with sushi rice and every single one of the other Pok? places I have frequented for more than a decade around the world, including more recently the other places here in town do not use sushi rice. Personally I've never seen brown sushi (or sticky) rice which in and of itself proves the point. Most if not all Pok? places serve brown rice in addition to white.
To Koi management, just keep on truckin, you guys rock in my book!
The bowl I just ate before dessert which was my third here had perfect rice in terms of texture and temperature.
