I recently ordered the hibachi steak with lo mein and gyoza as an appetizer from Poki Cafe on Owen Drive. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations.
Upon opening the container, the presentation immediately felt underwhelming. The noodles resembled standard spaghetti rather than traditional lo mein, which set the tone for the meal. Visually and texturally, they did not align with what one would expect from a hibachi-style dish.
The lo mein itself lacked flavor and depth. Instead of the rich, savory profile typical of this dish, the noodles tasted similar to plain boiled spaghetti. They were also slightly undercooked, resulting in a firmer texture than expected. The sauce provided minimal enhancement and lacked the bold, balanced seasoning typically associated with hibachi cuisine. I found myself needing to add two full cups of teriyaki sauce just to bring the meal up to a satisfactory flavor level.
The steak was somewhat chewy and did not stand out in terms of seasoning or quality. It was serviceable but not memorable. The vegetables were inconsistently cooked — zucchini was overdone and soft, carrots were noticeably undercooked, and the broccoli fell somewhere in between, creating an uneven texture throughout the dish.
The portion size was generous and arguably the strongest aspect of the meal, offering good quantity for the price. However, quantity could not compensate for the lack of flavor and execution.
Service also left something to be desired. The atmosphere felt rushed, with minimal engagement from staff — more transactional than welcoming.
Overall, the experience did not justify a return visit. While the portions were decent, the lack of flavor, inconsistent cooking, and uninviting service resulted in an overall rating of 3 out of 10.

Great customer service! Food was also delicious and came out rather quick.
We ordered:
Spam musubi, Philly roll and Alaska roll, chicken bowl, and chicken wings. It was my fault for not double checking, but the Alaska roll had raw salmon and I was looking for cooked or smoked rolls as I am pregnant and the lady was more than accommodating and informed me which rolls are cooked and was willing to make me a new roll free of charge. My husband is the wing fanatic and he devoured his whole order, and they came out steaming hot and fresh. Will absolutely be back! Thank you for a great dinner!

My first time here today. Order a smoked salmon Poki bowl go to check my order and the salmon was raw. I immediately asked if they could cook my salmon please and they did charged me a 1.00 to cook my food. Over all the food was good wish I could have had more salmon in my bowl more rice than any thing. But the food was very flavorful.

The ONLY poke spot I will go to in Fayetteville. I lived in San Diego for 12 years and this place hits. The fish is always so good and the toppings are generous! Aside from the bowls, there are SO many other yummy things you can order. Customer service is consistently amazing here and I’ll continue to come back as long as I’m in the area.

Edit- 2nd experience today. I ordered take out and had to wait forever which is fine but when i pay that much for food that i have to wait on AND i find a frreaking FINGER NAIL in my drink-no more. This place is seriously overpriced especially for everything to come premade in plastic bags.
Also noted-The inside was nasty. The floors and tables were a sticky mess. I probably would not of given such a high rating the first time had i gone in instead of sending a kid in. Now that I think about it-the dude at the front making rolls, bowls, and Boba drinks wore the same pair of plastic gloves after handling raw fish, vegetables, going in-between the back and the front, taking orders and money, and combining ingredients for the Boba drinks including ice. I’m gonna now.
A frigging chewed off nail that looked like it had brown fingernail polish on it.
Someone check the Taro mix!

The food was exceptional! We had the 3 for $28 deal on rolls and the steak hibachi. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Stumbled across this cute place on my way to therapy. Smelled so good & I had some time to kill before my appointment & was meeting my daughter for lunch between her rounds. so I said why not.
I ordered the & general tso’s chicken bowl for my daughter & Mongolian beef bowl for myself.
They were both really flavorful, brown rice was perfect. I got her a brown sugar milk tea. She wasn’t a fan but i thought it was good. I ordered the taro milk & paid extra for 3x boba (wasn’t even a 1/4 of the bottom tho.) The taro is delicious, the boba was a little on the gummy side, so i wasn’t too upset for not getting all that I thought I would.
Over all we both enjoyed it & she said she’ll definitely be a frequent visitor for lunch.
I didn’t think to take pix of the bowls as was just a quick lunch date & we both tore it up from the first bite. But trust, the presentation, aroma, portion & flavor were all there.
