Poke Cafe - North Charleston

Hubby has been craving Ramen for weeks, and we wanted a treat on this chilly winter night, so we got delivery via Ubereats. He was so worried his meat would be overcooked but was willing to take the risk. I wanted sushi and a poke bowl because I am a pig, so I got the A1 combo and felt no shame. The Korean Spicy Ramen with pork belly arrived deconstructed to avoid the issue of overcooking, which pleased hubby immensely. The broth was rich and loaded with spices. The pork was tender and flavorful. He said it was spicy and delicious. The egg was the biggest surprise, and he said it really made the dish special. My GMC roll was surprisingly spicy, with a chili heat from somewhere. So spicy, in fact, that I used the wasabi heat to counter the chili heat. The Taro milk tea was the perfect relief: sweet, cool, and creamy, with no Boba. Hubby always orders his Boba tea without the Boba, so he was happy to share some sips. It cooled his spicy tongue as well. The Rainbow poke bowl had krispies, which were unexpected because apparently I didn't read the menu very closely. Good tuna, a little fishier than I prefer, and delicious salmon. Masago is always appreciated, and mango brought sweetness and freshness while avocado added creamy richness. Eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce were served on the side so I could make it the way I like. I wanted the Volcano poke bowl, but it comes on greens and not rice. I didn't think to see if you can swap it out, but I bet you can. But I am glad I didn't get it this time because the Rainbow bowl was a nice cooling foil to my spicy roll. Volcano bowl on rice will wait til next time. It probably won't be long!

I have been to Poke Cafe a few times now, and have enjoyed the food and atmosphere there. The One Piece themed walls are adorable and fun, and add to the unique decor. The staff is very nice as well. The food here has been very fresh, including the lettuce and especially the fish. A lot of times places that serve poke charge an arm and a leg, but at Poke Cafe there's a rewards program that is fairly easy to use and sign up for. You just plug in your phone number on the tablet whenever you come in (it has saved me a lot). I hope this place continues to do well. It's tucked away and delicious one of my favorite places to go to.

This place was good, but I had a few problems. To start, the atmosphere in there was fantastic. They had One Piece playing on the TV and decor on the walls. The edamame was cold, but some people like it that way. The tonkotsu chicken ramen was good, but the chicken was not very good and felt frozen. One of my bamboo shoots was hard, but the rest were cooked very nicely. The price was a bit much for what we got. Overall good, but not the best. I'll come back to see if it was a one off.

The Ramen is really good. It's served with the contents of the bowl in a separate part over the hot broth. I got the Korean spicy pork belly Ramen and it was really good.

Came in for a quick lunch. Pricey but good. Everything tasted fresh. The boba teas were. Poke bowls good. Need more topping options tho. 8/10
