Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Cozy little spot in downtown Elmhurst. It’s small with limited seating, but I didn’t have trouble finding somewhere to sit. I got 3 items, with the clear star being the poke. I ordered the “Jimmy’s Creation” and was quite pleased with it, my only critique being the sheer amount of ginger throughout the bowl. I ended up having to put a good chunk of it aside. I do like ginger, but as more of a palate cleanser vs mixed in with all of my food. The sushi I wasn’t the biggest fan of, the pieces were a little too large to comfortably eat in one bite. The taste was also a little bland, which to be fair could be due to the roll I picked. The smoothie with popping boba I got was delicious though! Definitely worth another visit in the future to try their ramen!

First time trying this place. I wasn’t feeling well for seafood so, I got the veggie ramen and the veggie bowl. The food was good and fresh with huge portions. The server is very nice and the service is excellent. I would definitely recommend it. I also got boba milk tea at the end which was good too!

I just had an amazing experience at Poki Burrito in Elmhurst, and I can’t say enough good things. The owner and I have always had a great connection, but today really topped it all. I ordered two of my favorite bowls (the Jimmy's Creation with spicy tuna, half rice, half mixed greens), and he ended up giving them to me on the house just to show support for all the positive work we do in the community. It was such a generous surprise and a reminder of how awesome it is to have local businesses that really care. The food is always fresh and delicious, but the kindness and community spirit here are next level. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting them!
