Poke Hanoi - Poke bar in Hanoi

A hidden spot! 🤩 We all loved our Poke Bowls — fresh ingredients, good portions and a great quality/price combination. The space is very clean and neat; a few more plants would make it feel even warmer 🌿😃 But the food definitely makes up for it! 🥗✨ 🥗

My sister-in-law gave me grief for eating poke in Hanoi, but zero regrets! The fish was fresh, the flavour was unexpected in the best way, and they even serve quail eggs in their bowls. Plus, the cold-pressed watermelon juice was fantastic. It's hidden up a narrow alley staircase, but the lake-view balcony is worth the hunt (and they even gave me a blind box thing, which opened into a cute Hanoi key chain).

​This is the perfect spot for a quick, light, and healthy meal that is perfect for a ladies' lunch. It’s fresh, fast, and incredibly satisfying. ​■ How to Find It Walking along the road opposite the southern side of Hoan Kiem Lake, you’ll spot a sign that says "Poke Hanoi" at the entrance of a narrow alley. Walk down the alley for about 30 seconds, enter the building, and take the spiral staircase all the way to the top floor. ​■ Atmosphere & Service The interior is beautiful, featuring light wood furniture and plenty of green plants. Thanks to the glass ceiling and a balcony with glass doors, the space feels exceptionally bright and open. ​Note on Temperature: Because of the greenhouse effect from the glass ceiling, the AC keeps it comfortably cool rather than ice-cold. ​Service: The young staff are very friendly and can communicate in basic English. During off-peak hours, they can be a bit loud chatting among themselves, which was slightly distracting, but it was nice to see them working with such cheerful energy. ​■ How to Order (Step-by-Step) Just follow the chalkboard on the right wall: 1. ​Pick Your Base: Half brown rice + half salad is highly recommended. 2. ​Pick Your Poke: You can't go wrong with Salmon. 3. ​Pick Your Sauce: Shoyu or Goma-sesame pairs beautifully. 4. ​Pick Your Toppings: Tobico and Guacamole cost extra. Personally, I recommend asking them to add all the other toppings except those two. The staff generously packs each bowl to the brim! ​■ The Taste The brown rice is wonderfully seasoned and nutty. Even with a huge variety of ingredients in one bowl, they blend together perfectly without any single flavor overpowering the rest. It’s a flawless harmony of savory, nutty, and subtly sweet notes. I found myself saying "This is delicious!" from the first bite to the last. ​💡 Pro Tip for the Perfect Route: There is a newly opened Cafe Giang branch right nearby. Having a fresh meal here and then heading over to Cafe Giang for a rich egg coffee makes for an absolute perfect itinerary!

Recently had my first try at this place. Absolutely amazed with the overall design and the varieties of choice you can make with your poke bowl. The fish choices were only limited to salmon and tuna though - regardless they were very fresh. The hummus, falafel and cream cheese was on point also. Great restaurant, 10/10 would become a loyal customer!

I wandered up to this place after spotting the rooftop patio from the lake: through the back alley, past the kid's RC cars, and up the stairs. It felt like an adventure in itself! Once on the third floor, the staff were friendly and immediately made me feel at home. My spicy tuna poke bowl was prepared exactly to my liking; they add the toppings to the bowl as you order. Savory and fresh ingredients. Price was normal for a tourist spot : VND 198,000, but was well worth it. Hanoi beer was 30k. A pleasure to dine here.
