Southfin Southern Poké

We rolled into town after traveling all day. I’ve never been to Baton Rouge. I was pleasantly surprised to see Southfin Southern Poke was an option nearby. We’ve never had the pleasure. We were greeted by two friendly smiles from the sweetest gals. Our meals were clearly made with heart and they were absolutely scrumptious! If we’re ever back in the area we will stop in again without a doubt! Thank you ladies! If we could give you more than five ⭐️‘s we would.

I travel often for work and am a huge poké eater. It’s my #1 favorite food and I make a point to always find a poké restaurant wherever I visit. That being said, this is easily top 10 poké places I’ve ever been to! I am a regular customer here and will continue to frequent this location.

The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because of their rice. In my opinion it’s the only thing holding them back from being top 3 to me. It’s hard and has the texture of day old refrigerated rice. It’s not the freshly cooked, warm, fluffy rice you’d expect in sushi and poké.

With that out of the way, everything else is amazing! The restaurant is super clean, staff is incredible friendly and knowledgeable about poké, and the ingredients (other than the rice) are fresh and delicious. Multiple staff members have suggested new things for me to try based on what I said I like, and every time their suggestions have been spot on.

Their mushrooms specifically are an amazing topping that I’ve not seen at any other poké place.

Ingredients seem fresh, but they have the saddest zoodles. The zoodles were very skinny and wet. I almost couldn't even find them in my bowl! I got the two scoop protein with raw tuna and salmon and those were fresh. If only the zoodles had more life to them.

Southfin is probably the best poke I have had in Baton Rouge. The ingredients are so fresh and delicious you really can't go wrong! When COVID began they switched to delivery or pickup only and the day after I got a personal text from the owner (got number from ordering system) thanking me for supporting local during a trying time.

I have never been disappointed and LOVE the healthy zoodle option personally! I an not a zoodle person but for me it works in poke perfectly!
