Poke in this valley rarely stands alone. It shares a menu with plate lunch, laulau and kalua pork, because the Hawaiian rooms that feed the southeast valley built poke into a bigger island canon rather than a stand-alone bar. This guide covers the poke bars and the Hawaiian and Filipino rooms that carry it well, wherever in the valley they land.

Zippy's Arroyo Crossing

Spring Valley $$
7095 Badura Ave · (808) 973-0880

Zippy's carries the Honolulu chain's full plate lunch menu, poke included, in a room built for volume rather than lingering. The draw here has always been the chili and the mixed plates as much as the poke, which plays a supporting role on a long menu built around counter service and fast turns. It reads as a reliable stop, not a specialist.

Unko Frank's Hawaiian BBQ

7780 S Jones Blvd · (702) 405-8822

Unko Frank's runs a Hawaiian BBQ plate-lunch format, the kind of counter room where poke shares menu space with kalua pork and loco moco rather than headlining. It fits the valley's broader pattern: poke as one more scoop on a plate lunch tray, not a dedicated bar. Worth knowing as an all-around Hawaiian stop rather than a poke destination specifically.

Poke Poku Hawaiian Poke Bar

7460 S Rainbow Blvd · (702) 333-1900

Poke Poku is a build-your-own poke bar on Rainbow, the format most people picture when they think poke: base, protein, mix-ins, counter service, done in minutes. It is one of the few rooms on this list built around poke as the entire concept rather than a side dish on a bigger island menu. Good for a fast, customizable lunch.

Las Vegas, NV, 89148 · (702) 201-1816

Antidotelv works the same Hawaiian fast-casual lane, poke bowls built to order alongside the rest of an island-inflected counter menu. It is a straightforward stop for a quick bowl rather than a destination meal, the kind of room that earns repeat lunch traffic more than a special trip across the valley.

7435 S Eastern Ave · (702) 676-2098

Ohana Hawaiian BBQ keeps the price low and the format simple, a counter room where poke sits next to the plate lunches and the BBQ trays. It is built for a fast, cheap meal rather than a sit-down occasion, the kind of everyday room the valley's Hawaiian community relies on more than any single dish.

The pork hash is the reason regulars keep coming back to this strip-mall room, a generous, aromatic plate that has built a following on its own. Kalua pork and lau lau round out a menu that treats poke as one option among the island staples rather than the focus. Low key setting, plenty of parking, service that moves without rushing anyone.

Paina Cafe in Spring Valley built its regulars around the Garlic Chicken Bucket and the mochi donuts, which now get their own happy hour from 5 to 7. Poke bowls sit alongside those on a menu that treats the room as a hangout spot as much as a meal stop. It is a long-running local favorite, phone orders and all, not a new arrival testing the format.

Aloha Kitchen & Bar
5.2Solid
Spring Valley $$
2605 S Decatur Blvd · (702) 364-0064

Aloha Kitchen keeps its doors open late, which matters in a city that eats on shift schedules, and the pork laulau and local plate anchor a menu poke shares space on. The Sahara-corridor room draws a steady late crowd rather than a lunch rush, and the counter service holds up whether the room is nearly empty or full.

LEFTY-J’S ISLAND FAVORITES Restaurant #2

The garlic chicken is what built this room's name, a fried, sauced plate that draws comparisons across the whole valley's Filipino counter scene. Adobo and straight fried chicken round out a menu built on frying done right rather than poke, which is not the point here. A strip-mall room worth the drive for the chicken alone.

Matiki Island BBQ

3430 E Tropicana Ave, Ste 1, Las Vegas, NV 89121 · +17028660944

Matiki Island BBQ trades on its beef ribs, a genuinely large portion that built the room's social-media following before word spread the old-fashioned way. Kalua pork and grilled chicken fill out a casual, no-frills counter menu that makes no attempt at décor. The food is the entire pitch, poke and all, and it holds up without the run-down room working against it.

Frequently asked
What is the best poke near me in the Las Vegas valley?
It depends which part of the valley is near you. Poke Poku on Rainbow and Antidotelv both run dedicated poke-bar formats, while Hawaiian plate-lunch rooms like Zippy's, Unko Frank's, Ohana and Aloha Kitchen carry poke as part of a bigger island menu. Each restaurant on this guide carries an Insider Score based on its review record, and no restaurant paid to be listed.
Is poke always the main dish at these restaurants?
No. Most of the rooms on this list are Hawaiian plate-lunch or BBQ counters where poke is one item among kalua pork, laulau and loco moco. Only a couple, like Poke Poku, are built specifically around poke bowls as the entire concept.
Are these Hawaiian restaurants actually in Las Vegas?
Most are within the city of Las Vegas, but Paina Cafe sits in Spring Valley, an unincorporated community with a Las Vegas address. This guide lists each restaurant's actual municipality rather than assuming everything is in the city proper.
How were these restaurants ranked?
Each restaurant carries an Insider Score built from its public review record, covering consistency and volume of feedback over time. No restaurant pays for placement or ranking on this guide.

Danny grew up in Henderson and covers the valley people actually live in: the strip-mall kitchens off Eastern, the family rooms in Green Valley, the Filipino and Hawaiian places that have fed this side of town for two decades. He writes the south valley beat the way locals eat it, on a Tuesday, without a reservation.
