Poke Men

Let's get the bad out of the way. No matter what map app you use it'll take you to the back of the AMC movie theater where you'll see a bunch of kids smoking out back. Kindly keep driving and turn into the shopping center to find a parking spot.Now we can get to the fun part! Wonderful and upbeat service. I was greeted as soon as I stepped in and while the dining space is fairly small, the ceiling makes it feel expansive.I ordered a spicy ramen that showed up on their menu as Spicy Donkotsu Ramen. Traditionally its spelled Tonkatsu and I definitely couldn't spot any difference. The ramen came out decently hot paired with kamaboko, seaweed, bean sprouts and a half soft boiled egg. Taste, temperature and texture were all present. If I had anymore room I would've ordered more so that only warrants another trip here.Before I left I also ordered a Thai tea and red ben taiyaki. The Thai tea came out a bit sweet and as of this review I'm letting the ice cubes sweat a bit before drinking more. Otherwise it's definitely tasty. The taiyaki came out super filled and glad they left some of the edges on there because that is the best part!Since their namesake has poke in it I will have to return. I can say with confidence the ramen is great and I would like to try their bulgogi bowls as well. What a wonderful Sunday late lunch treat!

I just love poke. So when I found myself hungry post mani pedi, I knew just the place. Away I went to Poke Men, to nosh on all the poke deliciousness!THE SPACE: Poke Men is located in Southlands Mall, to the west of the AMC movie theater. There's plenty of parking nearby. They offer a couple of tables outside to enjoy when the weather is nice and inside they have a variety of seating options including community styles tables and a couple small tables. I really like the glass accent wall that they decorate based on the season. The various stuffed fish had Santa hats for Christmas - so fun!THE EATS: I love that instead of standing at the counter and building your bowl as you tell them what you'd like, you fill out an order sheet ahead of time, and they construct your bowl to your preference. I opted for their regular poke bowl with 2 proteins (ahi tuna and salmon), on white rice, with onion, edamame, spicy shoyu sauce, spicy mayo, crab salad, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, avocado, garlic crisp, and nori. YUM! Everything was so fresh, filling, and delicious. They do offer up ramen and sushi burritos in addition to their poke bowls, but I'm so hooked on the poke, it's going to be hard to switch it up and try anything else!THE SIPS: I'm a sucker for Thai tea. So naturally that is my drink of choice when a poke joint is out of my favorite Hawaiian Sun juices. Darn, COVID supply chain issues. The Thai tea is perfectly creamy and sweet. Make sure to request no boba if you don't want it - they add it automatically. Sometimes I just want my milk teas straight up with no frills, so I wish I knew this ahead of time. THE SERVICE: After a couple visits now, it's safe to say that all the staff is very friendly. During one of my visits, they were clearly understaffed, but they handled their customers well and took care of every one. I don't see my love of poke fading anytime soon, so I know I'll be stopping by Poke Men again. #cantstopwontstop

This was my first time trying a Poke bowl, so I didn't know exactly what to expect going in. This is a make your own bowl place, which was interesting. You could check off what you wanted in your bowl to give to the bowl maker, which is a nice touch to make sure nothing is missed. We got two bowls and a dessert to share. The bowls were a little pricier then expected for this level of dining (fast dining on par with chipotle, with option to eat in or take out) but they get a pass given it's fresh fish. For what we got, we were just underwhelmed. My wife has poke a couple times a month and she agreed that it was just an average experience, with better poke out there in the area. The dessert looked good and was tasty, but not enough to bring us back for just that. If you're nearby and craving poke, this would work but might be better to try around.

Good options for Boba & best in Southlands. They have popping Boba too! The owner is very nice & friendly.

Nice quiet little place to grab a poke bowl. My go to is poke burrito, wrapped in seaweed. It's handheld poke goodness

Back to a 4. I called the owner and she apologized for what happened. She asked what she needed to do to make things right. I asked for further training for her staff. She also had me come back to get my correct order. 5 stars for the owner. 4 stars for overall experience.

Can't go wrong with any bowl combinations, or at least I haven't had a bad one yet. Fun toppings like hot Cheetos, fish is fresh and all the sauces are awesome. Milk tea drinks are also great. Hopefully one day I'll eat slower to be able to take some pictures.

It was delicious and place was clean. There was Nice variety of items for the poke bowl.

I ordered take out yesterday and they messed up my order. i paid for two proteins and they just gave me one. I never got the crab salad. they added something way too spicy also to mine. today almost 24 hours after eating it I have been in and out of the bathroom. I probably won't be eating here again. not sure they are holding food properly if I am feeling sick.

Food is awesome just moved from Hawaii and the best poke we've found in the Denver area!
