Big Fin Poké - South Portland

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big Fin Poke is easily one of the best poke spots around! Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. The torched salmon bowl is my absolute favorite — such a unique twist and loaded with delicious flavor, especially when you add extra salmon. Every bite tastes high-quality and perfectly balanced. You can tell they really care about what they serve. Definitely a go-to spot for anyone who loves amazing poke!

I guess I'll be the odd one out on reviews. Service was great, and the establishment is nice and clean, which is a huge plus. But for the price, I left still hungry and that's frustrating. I'm a small girl too, and it just wasn't filling. I got the chicken build your own, and the chicken was dry... I got two sauces which even when tossed into the chicken, it was less than flavorful and chicken was still dry. I do appreciate them mentioning upcharges (like avocado). Pricey for what you get. I've been wanting to try this place for weeks, and I'm overall just not crazy satisfied. Guess I'll need a second dinner tonight.

Tldr: great raw tuna bowls with balanced veggies and fish. Fast and efficient service. We got the spicy tuna and shoyu bowl. Both were delicious and had good combinations of sides and veggies. They didn't load the bowl full of rice either which was good. We also got the ika karaage (deep fired squid) which was good but was too small. Overall great place for a quick healthy bite.

The food is really good. They have good combinations but it easy to build your own meal by saying what you want as you move down the line. They have the ingredients listed on the wall and right on the window in front of you, so the process is easy. I've always gotten a rice bowl and more than half the dish will be rice so the price does feel high especially since there is an added cost for multiple items. The shoyu sauce is yummy, but with the amount of rice I never feel like there is enough sauce. So order extra if you like things more coated! Plenty of parking and fast service.

This place is great. I love the build your own bowl so you can get exactly what you want. It's sort of like a subway restaurant in that you go down a line and you choose size, sauce, protein, mixins and toppings. Prices are fair in the food is fresh and delicious. Really interesting drink selection too.
