Malibu Poke
Malibu Poke is my favorite poke in Austin because the bowls are perfectly seasoned and the fish and shrimp are always fresh. I also love that they use ingredients like massaged kale, cauliflower rice, coconut curry, and bonito flakes.
Draft beer, sale, wine, and lower sugar cocktails are also available at Malibu Poke.

Pokeworks
Pokeworks is a national chain but this one is franchised by a local sweet couple in Austin from Brazil. Of all the spots on this best poke in Austin list, Pokeworks is the only one that makes poke burritos!
They just opened so they didn’t have their musubi yet but I want to go back and try it. I also loved their miso soup and line of organic teas.
What to order: Hawaiian ahi classic, Sriracha shrimp in a poke burrito, garlic spam musubi, and miso soup.
