| - I was browsing Las Vegas Yelp, when I saw "Poke Express" at the top of my restaurant list. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised to find a poke shop in Vegas (okay North Las Vegas), much less on Yelp!
Since I was leaving for LA, I decided to stop by and get a snack for the road. I managed to get there one minute before they closed. One of their employees was outside having a smoke, and I guess he could tell that I was there for the poke, because when I got out of the car he said "you here for da poke?" I nodded and he said "you have one minute!"
Inside, Poke Express has the standard refrigerated deli case filled with different varieties of poke, and a fridge stocked with Hawaiian Sun and other goodies. All of the tuna poke had already been sold, but they offered to make some to order and let me try some of the tako poke while I waited.
I had the ahi limu poke, the spicy ahi poke and the kimchee tako poke. In theory, I was only going to eat one of them on my ride home, and had the rest packed on ice. But in reality, it was all so good, that I had eaten all of them (3/4 pound total) before I hit the stateline.
Edit: Oh, the fish quality was a bit mushy. I'm not sure if this was because this was the end of the day, or if their fish is frozen. I didn't have enough time to ask the provenance of their fish. That being said, it was still delicious, and I'm not going to knock them for that.
