Big Island Poke x Mochinut: Fresh Poke Bowls & Irresistible Mochi Donuts in St Paul

I got some food to go,, and it was great. The location is apparently new, and the food was fresh. I got two poke bowls, fried shrimp and fried octopus. It was very good. The place looked reasonably clean, and the service was great. I am definitely coming back.

Very clean store and friendly staff. Super reasonable prices for what you get! Everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back! The only thing was the wasn't a baby changing table in the bathroom so anyone with kids should be aware.

A trip to Big Island Poke is always a must when looking for a poke experience in St Paul. While there is limited parking outside and table seating inside, the store is very clean, and our service was exceptional, with our chef helping craft the perfect lunch experience. I wasn't traveling alone for the experience: I ordered a build-your-own shrimp & chicken bowl while my coworker ordered the volcano bowl. The flavors and freshness of the ingredients were exceptional, the pricing was very reasonable, and overall an experience worth returning for again and again.

I have visited several times and each time the service has been great! During one visit I had the pleasure of meeting Jenii the owner and Hailey her business partner. I went back the next day to get more mochinuts because the Dubai chocolate one is irresistible. That time I bought a six pack of the one flavor and met Jenii’s husband who was working and also offered great customer service. Hailey stated she decided on doing the Dubai chocolate flavor and I'm so glad she did! I brought the Dubai chocolate mochinuts to share with others and all wonderful feedback - they are a hit. Jenny stated every Friday they change the flavors they have available for the week. Flavors do come back - as I have seen repeats. I have also tried a few of the Hawaiian plates, poke bowl, bubble teas and the Korean hot dogs. The poke bowl is very delicious and fresh! And the Korean dogs I get have the cheese and can't go wrong with them and the amazing cheese pull. The teas are refreshing and taro is always my favorite.

Service was excellent, and the fish was fresh. The price was okay but about what you would expect for a bowl of poke. Would recommend.

My go to spot everytime I'm craving lunch thats fresh, light, and filling! Bright interior and great music. I was met with kind and patient employees. Usually takes no more than 5 minutes to get my food. Highly recommend!

Overall, love this place! I had been here previously about six weeks prior with my family. I love that the restaurant is minority owned and has friendly customer service. The restaurant is clean, bright and sunny with sufficient seating (although it look like at least half their orders were takeout or DoorDash). We got the Big Island bowl which was delicious. I liked how the rice was warm when served (which is a bit different from The Poke House off of Snelling and Randolph Ave). The tuna and salmon tasted great and seemed very fresh. There were lots of options (from avocado to jalapeños to different sauces. The wonton chips were a surprisingly delicious addition for texture, btw (I normally don’t get fried toppings like that). The added bonus? Having mochi donut options right there also. The first time I went, there were only a few donuts left, and they didn’t feel as fresh. This time there were six full shelves of donuts and they were delicious. Two thumbs up from this Asian and will definitely be back. P. S. There is parking right in front and also right on the street in the neighborhood.

Yum! Yum! This place is very clean with great lighting. Parking isn't the greatest but there's not much they can do about that. Food was yummy! I'm on a somewhat keto diet and they had a variety of choices for me to make a satisfyingly full meal. I did not try their teas, mochi donuts, or original hotdogs/mozzarella due to my diet but my nieces REALLY liked them. Service was efficient, knowledgable, and pleasant.
