Reviews for Ali'i Poke Carmel in Carmel, IN

We came in to try the shaved ice, and seriously loved our experience! The man who helped us was the friendliest person I've seen... at a restaurant in a long time. I was under the impression he's the owner and was wearing glasses, super nice guy. I ordered abuild your own shaved ice with matcha and strawberry flavor, and my husband got the pineapple mango signature flavor. We ateoutside at their tables which were nice and clean. We both loved what we got! We got regular size but next time we couldprobably spilt one since it took us about 30 minutes to eat. The owner came out and checked on us to make sure the shaved icewas made properly which was really nice. I'll definitely be back again for dessert!! Read more

Like their Downtown and Fishers locations, the recent Carmel location delivers on some great Poke. You don't get nickled and... dimed on the toppings, the sauces are great, and the seafood is quality. The large is enough for two people if you get all rice- I opt for one scoop of rice and the rest salad. And let's talk about the rice - the unsung hero. Many places overlook theirrice - too wet, mushy, or dry. Ali'i always has great rice - plump, separate grains. It really makes a difference and shows thecare they put into the product. Read more

The staff was so friendly and the options were really good! I really enjoyed the food and the service they provided. The options... they provided were beyond expectations. I got the marinated salmon, the flavor of the salmon was good however it didn?t tastemarinated. The toppings available were great quality and I found out they make most of their sauces are made in house. Overallthe poke was really good! The shaved ice was also amazing. I got the classic and would totally recommend getting this, verylarge portions and the quality of the ingredients also delicious. Read more

Wow. What a great surprise. I don't think of sushi as a meal and I heard that Poke was like a deconstructed sushi roll, so I... never gave it a chance. My loss. This was really good. But the description I was given, nails the flavor. I tried mine withoctopus which I never tried in sushi, but I enjoyed it. There are several "proteins" to choose from, but all are seafood. These go over a bed of rice or lettuce (or a mix of both). Then a variety of veggies and sauces. It all came togethernicely. For dessert they have HUGE bowls of saved ice with sauce and fruit. We had the strawberry and it was very refreshing. Read more

I was already a huge fan of this place since I had gone to their downtown location many times already. I made my own poke bowl... with spicy tuna and brown rice as the base. Of course, I got all of the toppings. All of the flavors and textures came togetherperfectly. I got the miso soup on the side, plus the matcha shaved ice. I expected the shaved ice to be an afterthought of adish, but it was also a hit! The matcha had such great flavor on the shaved ice and it was topped with chewy balls similar toboba. The most surprising thing about the shaved ice was the little scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of the shaved ice.I can?t wait for summer to pick up another one. Read more

The food is so good and the people are super friendly! I got the marinated salmon and it was incredibly good. When the weather... warms up, I definitely want to try their shaved ice too! I would post pictures but I ate my food too quickly lol. Edit: camefor lunch again, took a photo this time! Read more

We love Ali poke and were really happy when they opened one close to home. Fresh poke, great service, clean and spacious... restaurant. The store here also sells Hawaiian shaved ice which my kids enjoyed! Read more

Holy cow. Run don?t walk to get this Hawaiian shaved ice. The bowl was amazing too but holy cow. This tropical bowl with... whatever the snowcap cream sauce was. 10/10. We are obsessed now. What I?m assuming was the manager or owner was SO sweet aswell. Letting me try all the new things. This will be my new go to. Read more
