Would only ever go there for lunch but it’s definitely one of my favourite places to eat on my break. Friendly staff and fresh ingredients and I let the staff choose sauces which never disappointed.
Not a big fan of the atmosphere in the restaurant but again good enough for a quick lunch.
So many good things about this place. Great price for great quality food with a generous serving size. Easy to access location and good staff definitely make me want to come back again!
I love this place! It gives you full control over what you eat, from the base, right through to the sauce and seasoning. This means you can have something different everytime, and experiment with flavour combinations. Its healthy, and delicious.
Went with a friend and it was the first time I had Poké! Was really impressed with the different choices you can make, although it did take me to choose. Very tasty and generous meal, plus it is light and healthy. Will be back.
My partner and I had a bowl from here today. Love how many different choices and combos you can make and that they allow you to choose so many per bowl. Very generous serves, I couldn’t finish all of mine. Good flavours. Only complaint is that it said marinated tofu on the menu but what my boyfriend got was just plain tofu, no flavour which was a bit crap. I got the mushrooms which was a better option that the plain tofu. Forgot to take photo until I started eating 😂
This place way okay, nothing amazing. I created my own bowl, was very surprised and impressed with the amount of choices and how much I could add for $15. It filled me up nicely but wasn’t the best salmon sashimi I’ve ever had. I probably won’t go out of my way to eat here again but if your looking for a decent poke bowl that will fill you up, this isn’t a bad place to go.
My first proper poké experience was golden thanks to Poké Me. The ingredients to choose from were so numerous, and the sauces are interesting and appetizing to read. It all seemed contentedly fresh too. I guess to a point, I was lucky that my chosen combination happened to be a winner (too many things to remember now). Whatever you decide to experiment with here can probably skew your opinion one way or another about the quality of the food. So choose wisely, and come back a few more times if it doesn't turn out so great.
Ratio Decidendi: If you’ve come looking for the same sort of poke you ate copious amounts during your trip to Hawaii made possible by ridiculously cheap Jetstar fares – check your expectations at the door or you’ll be disappointed. If you’ve come looking for a tasty rice bowl on the other hand, come on down to South Yarra!
Great place for a quick meal. This is definitely an healthy alternative to other fast food. While it is more expensive (from $16), you do get a good portion of fresh salmon and a variety of fresh vegetables.
I finally got to try Poke Me and OMG it so damm tasty, so delicious. Will definitely be come back again to try different combinations because what I choose tonight was really delicious and healthy.
A nice light lunch at a reasonable price amongst a sea of heavy burgers and American food! Lots of options to customise your lunch bowl, mostly very fresh ingredients... I had the poached chicken which wasn't incredible, tasted a little on the processed side - but overall quite happy.
Stopped by the South Yarra shop today. A great healthy option for lunch on the run. Ordered four bowls - the salmon, tofu and two poached chicken to take to a casual client lunch with some local doctors - each were $16-$18 and large serves. I must say everyone was very impressed. I wouldn't choose to dine in, it's very busy with minimal seating. The girls were very helpful with explaining how the menu works. The food was great - fresh, healthy and delicious. It's definitely my thing and Id happily order from Poke Me again.
Been ordering the marinated tofu bowl from here daily. Fresh ingredients, packed to the brim. A nice wide variety of choosable vegetables and other custom stuff too. Dope as the pope.
Awesome Poke!
Me and a friend went to Poke me this afternoon and loved the Poke bowls!
I went for a green soba base, smashed avo, kimchi, radish, seaweed, and classic poke sauce. Loved every single bite of it!
The staffs were super friendly and helpful!
For $14, the portions were generous! Super filling!
Will definitely come back!
Delicious healthy poke bowls and a decent price. I love that there's two vegetarian options and the fact that they don't charge extra for the toppings. You can have as many as you want and everything if fresh and tasty. The girls were very helpful as this was our first time here. It'd be great if they had more seating.

Nowadays, Melbournians are looking for something fast and healthy food. "Poke Me" comes to provide healthy life food to Melbournian. The restaurant is situated in the prime suburb, great location and reachable by public transport (train / tram). It's literaly 5 min walking distance from South Yarra Station.
The concept is pretty simple, you need to choose your protein (marinated tofu / kingfish / poached chicken / tuna / salmon), base (pink rice / purple mixed grain rice / green base / green tea soba noodles with sesame mayo), toppings (avocado / quinoa / mushrooms / pickled radish / pickled cabbage / edamame / zucchini pasta with sesame mayo / kim chi / pickled cucumber / seaweed salad / ginger / pickled carrot / pickled jalapenos), garnish "lil sumpin’ sumpin’" (charcoal salt / coconut / crushed wasabi peas / wasabi sesame / japanese seven / black sesame / wasabi caviar) and dressing (jalapeno mayo / japanese 7 spice mayo / sesame mayo / classic poke sauce / wasabi cream / citrus sauce / sriracha soy).
We ordered :
* Protein : poached chicken* Base : green tea soba noodles with sesame mayo* Toppings : quinoa, pickled cucumber, pickled radish, pickled carrot and edamame* Garnish : wasabi cream
It was $16.00, which was average price for a meal. The garnish served was really fresh and the soba noodle was cooked well *not too soft; unfortunately the poached chicken was really dry but the taste was good.
Yay : Fresh and healthy food with good value of money
Nay : Poached chicken was little bit dry
Service : 4.0
Taste : 3.5
Price : 3.0
Location : 180 Toorak Road, South Yarra, Victoria

Excellent service. I had no idea how to order a poke bowl but the girl happily talked me through it. It was delicious and super quick!
The kindness to other customers was also noticed as I sat and enjoyed my meal.
> Salmon poke bowl with green tea soba noodles with sesame mayo, avocado, edamame, seaweed salad, quinoa, carrot, cucumber <
After the hype died down, we had to give this poké bowl a try! The bowl looks so beautiful with all the different colours 🌈 The flavours are so distinct and very healthy. It was a little plain and there could have been larger portions of the toppings, however, it was a very tasty bowl and we would definitely order it again

The best poke bowls in Melbourne- easily. So big ,so filling, so healthy. Although there can sometimes be a bit of a line , this place is fantastic. It's also great for uber eats.
Ordered via UberEats as I was after a healthy option. I have to say I was pretty impressed. My order came within 25 mins and was fresh and delicious. Will happily order again. Thanks!
This was a really nice meal! Popped in for a Saturday lunch, wasn't busy at that time. My friend had been to the one in the city so helped me with the choices. I gotta say, it's a really good, healthy option for lunch! $15 will get you basically all the options on offer. I went with the salmon w pink rice, ginger, zucchini, cucumber, carrot, beetroot and edamame, yes, the edamame was a brilliant choice! chose the soy dressing to finish. ingredients were fresh and tasty. loved it all. The colours! look at that bowl
Super tasty and healthy. I highly recommend getting the pink rice/soba noodle base with kimchi, seaweed salad, carrot and cucumber and marinated tidy, topped with sriracha soy. Amazing!

Poké Me!!! While I had no idea what I was in for, I've subsequently gone back four times in two weeks after work to get it again - if that's not a good indication of how I feel about poké now, I don't know what is.
Starting by choosing your 'protein'; one of a selection of traditional fish bases including salmon, tuna and kingfish, there are also alternatives for those less fishy like tofu and chicken. You then move onto your carb base; I've been going with pink rice because quite frankly, the novelty hasn't worn off yet. Grains and kale are other options, but next time I'm trying the green tea soba noodle which by all reports tastes delicious.
The rest is up to you. Quinoa, Edamame, Avocado, Radish, Kim Chi and more are all at your fingertips and as the price is based on your protein you can choose as much flavour as you like. Charcoal salt, wasabi and coconut to top it off can really add some extra flavour. Last but not least, select from an array of sauces from mild right through to tangy and damn hot.
Not only are poké bowls gorgeous to look at (a blogger's dream), depending on what you choose to fill them with, they're also reasonably healthy. If you're not on board yet, I'd recommend giving one of the many places serving them up around Melbourne a go. If you're in South Yarra, I guarantee Poké Me as a great place to pop your cherry.
Full (and probably funnier) review is live on the blog now, link in bio :)
To celebrate UberEATS first year in Melbourne, UberEATS threw the food party of the year with a rooftop food festival at St Jeromes featuring some of Melbourne's favourite restaurants. . Our top pick from the night was the sushi donuts from Poke Me. Beautifully fresh fish atop a donut shaped sushi rice laden with seawood and other delicious things.
Fresh, delicious and healthy food. The sauce was to die for. Vegetarian options are wonderful as well. There is limited seating and it is a popular place. Pick your time. ( Update: Quality keeps falling, the service is appalling. They don't give a damn)
ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOVED IT HERE!! Super fresh and healthy ingredients. Highly recommend for a quick, easy and cheap dinner options. BIG servings too so it 100% fills you up 😍👌🏻🍒🍏🍉🍅🍤 Pokeme
Amazing! So fresh and super delicious and incredibly healthy to boot! The serving sizes are very generous and the staff were so lovely. Can't wait to come back with some friends next time. So excited to have found this place!!!
My new obsession. Where else can you get stunningly fresh, tasty and healthy sashimi bowls for $15? And the portions are incredibly hearty, I can eat my fair share and I just get through my serving. Green tea soba noodles, kimchi, edamame, seaweed salad, kingfish...it really is all good! Could eat it every damn day. 😀
A great place for healthy lunch bowls with heaps of different options to choose from in order to please even the fussiest of eaters. Although small inside, I do think this place has come a long way as service is much more efficient, although I think they could guide you through the new menu a little more as it can be quite confusing when confronted with the numerous new menu items on offer. I recall vividly when it took a shocking 30+ min wait to get served as UberEats orders were prioritised when this place first opened.
I do like the idea that the menu is more flexible with a variety of options but has lost its identity as 'the place that does good poké'.
Before you visit, also remember to bring your card as they do not accept cash (which needs to change).
What's not to like? A quick, healthy, nutritious eat that keeps you full for ages. This is real food at a reasonable price and it's quality is top notch. I just arrived back from Hawaii and this would probably be better than any Poké which I experienced there. The creative flair and abundance of options allow you to want to go back again and again. I would recommend the wasbi cream for something truely delish and a bit different!
Hands down our favourite restaurant at the moment. We love the soba noodles topped with sesame mayonnaise, tofu and the classic poke’ sauce. We love how poke gives you the ability to customise the bowls. Its a must try restaurant in South Yarra that we cant rave enough about!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! So generous with the servings and the toppings. The toppings are high quality ingredients and are actually healthy (not tossed or drowned in dressing etc). SOO good that they're open til 10, makes dinner so much more exciting. Really can't rate it higher,
Had the tuna bowl with soba noodles. Was very delicious and tasted fresh. For sides I chose kimchi, cabbage, avocado and zucchini pasta. Everything was delicious except for the cabbage which was ok, although that may be my personal preference. Anyway, will definitely order from here again!
I have bee on the hunt for a poke place in Melbourne for so long till I finally found this place only to find out people don't really like it here. I personally found the food to be fresh and the decor quite welcoming and clean. I've only tried poke bowls in the US and Poké Me did not disappoint neither did it live up the my standard. It was overall very average in taste but it's the closest I have tried in the past.
Full marks to Poké Me for educating people on eating healthy simple tasty food made fast. No complex ingredients. Just what mother nature has to offer. Fish veggies dressings all tossed up in a bowl to satisfy all taste buds and dietary requirements. Best healthy lunch you can buy!
Ate here tonight after seeing the healthy menu and how busy the store was, completely loved every month full, all ingredients were delicious and fresh especially the Poké sauce which was the icing on the cake. Will be back soon!
My wife & I are hooked. Fresh, healthy, delicious & prompt preparation time. Highly recommended!
I download the zomato app. just so I could write this review.
Brilliant work guys!! Cheers, Hayden
Poké (Pronounced Poh-kay). Unless you have been living under the rock for the past year, then you would have by now tried at least one Poké (Poh-kay) bowl by now. Poké Me is the newest Poke joint that recently opened in South Yarra. It is easily accessible via South Yarra Station.

Man! So damn tasty! Seems super healthy too! Pretty impressed with how simple and clean the menu is. Staff were friendly and service was quick.
Pokes good here. Unlike the ones you can get from Kona, Hawaii but one of the best you can get here in Melbourne. But creamy to my liking but there’s a good variety of ingredients in the bowl. You also have the option to build your poke bowl here. Yeah it’s healthier than your typical fast food joints. Pricing like the other reviews, is on the higher side. If I really crave poke and if I’m in the area, I’d come here.
The poké is good and healthy, but definitely on the pricey side. The ordering process is also quite cumbersome if you're a newbie!

I had my first takeaway poke bowl there few days ago. The protein, veggies and sauce are delicious except the mixed grain rice was a bit under cook. The staff is nice and helpful.
It's a little bit pricey, but the food is really solid. You can get a mixture of yummy veggies, rice or noodles, and proteins like tuna or chicken. You combine the ingredients to make your own perfect bowl. It's very filling - I ordered a large and couldn't get through it, ended up taking a large part home for later.
The best poke in town! I have been to many places searching for poke bowls and this one is my favourite so far. The bases, the toppings are deliciousss along with the protein you choose. You get a lot for an affordable price. I would highly recommend you check out poke me!
