Cheeky Poke - Bracken Ridge Australia

Fresh, healthy and quick – three things I look for when I’m on the run! Cheeky Poke provided just that. . I stopped by the Cheeky Poke Bar in West End in Brisbane for a quick bite with a friend. It’s a gorgeous setting with gardens, lights in the evening and a cool atmosphere.

Came here for lunch last weekend for a quick bite ordered their Wonton tacos with Chicken and creamy Asian sauce and they were sooo good! I only ordered the one though which was my mistake, definitely could’ve gone for another really nice ambience with outdoor seating too. Service was top notch and super friendly! I’ll be back again soon

4.5/5<br/ Welcome to my pilgrimage to eat allll the poke in Brisbane. So far this is the best I’ve had outside Hawaii. ‘Your best self in a bowl’ is Cheeky’s slogan and there’s no humble brag about it: I was goood. <br/ <br/ Menu <br/ Great range of signature build your own poke bowls w combos to suit everyone. Tacos, soups, shared plates sides have an Asian nod fit nicely in the vein of the fresh poke spirit.<br/ <br/ Food <br/ Signature tuna bowl had plenty of bouncy, fresh Mooloolaba tuna the regular size was easily shared between two. Liked that the separate components weren’t all mixed together when served. 64 degree egg was a new inclusion for us a clever one (yoink: stealing that idea for our homemade bowls). <br/ From the shared plates, red curry scallops w beetroot hummus avo were beautifully seared although the curry flavour could have been dialled up a notch. This dish singlehandedly gave Cino’s Dad hope that not all avo is boring. Respeck.<br/ <br/ Venue <br/ One of a few parkside shipping container eateries in gorgeous West End Village. Big communal feels. <br/ <br/ Staff <br/ Lovely crew.<br/ <br/ Style <br/ Meals branding have loads of visual appeal. Commendably eco conscious. <br/ <br/ Bonus <br/ OMG licensed. OMG Butterbings.<br/ <br/ Highly recommend<br/ I’m returning to try Steve’s bowl (a cute tribute to a super loyal customer) the fish tacos. Oh okay the taro chips...<br/ <br/ Thanks Cheeky!

We were invited to dine at Cheeky Poke West End and from start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. We started with a kingfish wonton taco and my only negative was that we'd only ordered one. It was PACKED full of flavour and I loved the combination of all the accompaniments with the beautiful fish and crispy taco shell. Definite flavour winner and probably my favourite dish of the day.<br/ <br/ Next we had the tuna poke bowl and pork gyoza poke bowl. The tuna was my favourite, it was wonderful and fresh and my husband absolutely loved it. There are a few rich flavours on the dish so I think a small bowl was enough. I really enjoyed the pork gyoza bowl too, so fresh and everything was so well prepared. Great spicy kimchi too, loved it! I thought the aioli was a bit of an odd sauce to go with the gyoza however for the rest of the dish it was perfect.<br/ <br/ We had two of the Cheeky Newstead collaboration beers and as with all Newstead beers, they were both great.<br/ <br/ Service was very friendly and quick, I love the idea of the mini food court location and the beautiful gardens out the front of this terrific spot in a great location. Highly recommended, I have no doubt we will be back to try more poke bowls and DEFINITELY more tacos! I don't dish out 5 star reviews very often but this place really deserves it it's my kind of food! Thank you so much to the team for having us.

We visited Cheeky Poke on a weekend for an early lunch. The place wasn’t busy, and we were placed our orders quickly. Opted for the tuna poke bowl $20.9 , while my wife ordered the pork gyoza $18.9 and we had a side of taro chips $8.9 to share.<br/ <br/ Portions were very substantial, thought I would quickly wolf my bowl down- but ended up feeling full afterwards. Food also tasted fresh and crisp, exactly what you would want in your poke bowl. Taro chips were a winner, I can easily eat a whole bag of these on my own! Service was polite, cheerful and friendly something not a lot of restaurants train their staff on I noticed! , a welcome addition to our dining experience.
