My wife and I were in Aruba for our anniversary and decided to have dinner at Poke Ono. One of the best decisions we made all trip!!!! My wife ordered the Poke bowl and I ordered the Teriyaki Burger and let me say describing them as delicious would be an understatement! We also went on Tuesday during one of their specials which made what we paid almost feel criminal for the great food and service we received.. Along with that our server Shirley was fantastic and the entire staff was welcoming and accommodating. We're sad we weren't able to make it back for another meal but when we return Poke Ono is definitely on our list!

We had just arrived after a really long day so we wanted something nearby. I had scouted this place before we arrived and we were not disappointed. It’s a little off the beaten path inside the lobby of the newer Azure condos (the guard will wave you in.) The service was very welcoming and our server, Shirley, let us know the entire menu was 20% off on Saturdays. Although we didn’t have a cocktail, the drink menu (Polynesian influence) looked great. We couldn’t make up our mind on which bao to try, they all looked so good. We went with the Korean Beef and the Pork Belly and both were excellent as were our apps. We decided we’d come back for take out poke bowls when we were looking for a quiet, easy dinner later in the week. Everything was fresh and delicious and the service was excellent. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Came with my family to enjoy a night out with good food. Poke Ono certainly delivered!
The baos and sushi were delicious. I have had plenty sushi and baos before, but Poke Ono has fun, tasty flavour pairings that I personally haven’t seen yet. You can always pair it with a delicious cocktail; two people in my group had them and thought they were great.
The location was a bit busy - lots of foot traffic, and the occasional loud party bus passing by, so perhaps not the best for a super intimate experience. But you could hear live music from the stage a bit further on, and the service was so good that it was genuinely a really good experience.
Our waiter, Jamesson, was kind and welcoming and took great care of us. He took the time to make sure we had everything we wanted and to explain the menu. Even though it was very busy (Mondays have a dollar equals a florin action), he didn’t make us feel rushed and showed incredible patience and good humour.
Speaking of it being busy, we didn’t have to wait long before our food arrived, and when it did it looked so pretty and tasted so good that it was easy to forget that less than a handful of chefs were catering to an entire terrace of hungry clients. Very impressive!
All in all, I would definitely recommend Poke Ono.

We've been in Aruba over 4 months now and Po-Ke Ono is one of our favorite restaurants. The presentation of your meal is beautiful and the food tastes as good as it looks. The restaurant is modestly decorated and somewhat small, but don't let that influence you - the Poke Bowls and Boas are sensational. The restaurant is in the lobby of the Azure Residence property (which is stunning!!) so you need to go through a security guard to park, but it is easy and worth it. The food was reasonably priced, especially compared to many restaurants on the island. Try the Miso Salmon Poke Bowl or the Korean BBQ Beef Bao. You won't be disappointed.

Went here with friends as the restaurant came highly recommended. We got there at 7, we were told 45 min wait time, no problem. We were told to order the food ahead of sitting down, no problem. At 9:15 we still didn't have our food, when we finally received the food half didn't come and we were told the kitchen was closed and we had to leave.
Will not come back or recommend this. Terrible experience

The food was really great, more than we were expecting. Every element of the dish complimented eachother.
Also the waitress(Ann) was really attentive, everyone actually came up and asked if everything was great. A really nice experience im general!
We recommend this place a 100%!

We happened to stay at the apartment hotels nearby and saw this restaurant has a good option for dinner our first night. What a great find. The food was tasty, everyone was so friendly, especially our server Galaysh! She was cheerful and when she saw my daughter singing along to the music on the stereo, she came dancing over singing the lyrics as well.
She gave great recommendations about the menu (which was tasty) as well as about the island which we adore.
The food is not traditional sushi but the poke was fresh and flavorful and the few rolls that we had were also yummy. The Korean beef bao sandwich was melt in your mouth delicious. Galaysh made a good meal fantastic.

Specialty cocktails, poke bowls, bao, sushi rolls, short rib- each item delicious and special in its own way. The entire experience was infused with a true love for hospitality; it came through in the flavors and menu, presentation, and warm, friendly service. I can’t stop thinking about the Hawaiian spam poke, a riff on Hawaiian musubi but with the flavors and textures of a poke bowl. Many thanks to Adriana (knowledgeable, warm, attentive service!) and the rest of the team for a lovely dining experience! We are planning to return before our vacation ends.

We happened to be here at the open today and were served breakfast by Ann... And then came at closing time for a light dinner (a couple of poke bowls, sushi, drinks) and were met by smiling Ann again. They were quite busy, so we lucked into a seating by the bar, and were served by Glaysh, she was just brimming with energy, and made the dinner (and delicious beverages) a ball. Be back tomorrow.

The (Renaissance location) restaurant has a modern fresh look which was nice. The food however did not meet expectations. The price vs. quality was poor. Menu options were very limited and in all honesty the food was not tasty.

Now that I have discovered Po-ke Ono I will be regular. The tuna poke bowl is OUTSTANDING. The balance of flavors is spot-on. My friend and I paused several times during our lunch to comment on how much we loved our poke bowls. We are already planning on going back this weekend. They are located inside Azure between Eagle and Palm Beach. So glad for this addition to the Aruba food scene.

Poke ono is modern and causal restaurant with quality and fresh ingredients. They serve amazing poke bowls, drinks and I can only image their other items are amazing as well. The service is top notch. Adriana made our dinner experience even better with her attentiveness and Aruban hospitality. I would definitely recommend having lunch or dinner. Looking forward to coming back one day.

The food was amazing! Our server Ann was knowledgeable and proud of the food she was serving us. There are clearly high standards here. The meal was not only delicious and fresh but each presentation was a colorful display of talent from the kitchen. The dishes were well balanced with combinations of flavors and textures you don’t get to see everywhere you go. The meal was phenomenal from start to finish with Ann adding insight into the creation and preparation of the dishes. An absolutely inspiring meal! We will definitely go back.

The food is great, you could honestly order anything from the menu and it’ll be a safe choice. I couldn’t recommend it more. If i had to pick one thing off the menu, the “Tempura Banana” is a must try, truly decadent. But none of this would’ve been half as good if it weren’t for the amazing service. Our waitress Ilaisha was very friendly and accommodating, made sure we were enjoying ourselves and even put in the effort to remember us from our last visit weeks ago down to what we ordered. All in all; very good service and tasty, fairly priced, food.

First, the food we had (Poke Bowls, Sushi and Baos) were all excellent.
Secondly, We went to the location at the Blue Residences but had accidentally made the reservation on Open Table at the location in the Seaport Marketplace. The locations are mixed up on almost all the sites that matter (Trip Adviser, Google Maps, Open Table, Facebook, etc. )
Third, While the server (Mitchell?) was very good, he was very busy doubling as a very able bartender. Again excellent preparation.
Fourth, according to M, they were missing several things on the menu supposedly due to recent changes in menu made by the franchise.
