Been here several times. Decided to come at 7:25pm on a Sunday (it supposedly closes at 8:00), and they turned away every customer after us (starting at 7:30). Luckily we were unaffected, but I felt bad for the people expecting food and leaving empty-handed.

I ordered the miso chicken and Hawaiian chicken, both were kinda dry. Think I'll try out the fish protein next time. I asked for everything on the sides and the crunches, they delivered.

Lots of add ons to choose from. You can get 1, 2, or 3 protein. Only the avocado cost extra. Fresh and delicious. I would come back.

Clean, neat, filling, healthy food options, diverse options with a variety of sauces and toppings in addition to mains. Very well priced too! I would have expected my bowl to cost $20 but it only cost $15! You can't put a price on healthy eating and a low cost with ao many flavors to choose from makes this spot a rare jewel.

All I can say is fish‘s potion is so small just one small icecream scoop，but flavor tastes good，service is meh

I got the Honolulu salmon dish. It was good. I wish their was a bit more salmon. There was a little too much rice, but overall good dish.

Beware when ordering here. Ordering from here is half a surprise sometimes. The crispy rice options most of which are spicy has a massive difference in spiciness every other day. Today's order was magnitudes spicier than usual and no way to remedy the issue. Its normally a enjoyable spicy not this time.Not everyone has that level of spice tolerance. Not mala levels but way beyond the norm. Couldn't eat it much less finish it.

got a pokebowl with salmon, crispy onion, wasabi peas, and soba noodles (which cost an extra $1 — ridiculous). The bowl tasted good, but the portion was disappointing. They gave me a tiny spoonful of salmon for a “2 protein” bowl that cost $18. Pretty clear the profit margins are sky high if they’re being this stingy. Honestly feels like highway robbery. the taste was okay and the service was fast.

***3 1/2 stars*** This is a bit of an overdue review, as Poke Bowl is right next to where I work and I've frequented it a solid handful of times now. Poke Bowl always has a line of varying length when I walk by at lunchtime but the wait is never too long - they've got a good assembly line system and workers who are on their toes; any delays are caused by over-deliberating customers. And the fact that the lines exist in the first place reflects the overall high opinion that the local workplace crowd has of it - there are plenty of similar fast casual eateries nearby that are always emptier than this. I had a busy day at work yesterday so this was a good, quick option to grab a bite before heading back into the trenches. I was pretty hungry, so I opted for the three-protein bowl ($15.95) with white rice, salmon as my protein for all three choices, avocado (which is an extra $1.00), and finished it off with the chipotle aioli sauce and a smattering of tempura flakes and rice puffs. Based on what I've seen from other customers in line, this is a super simplistic order (I usually see a mild look of relief from the employees when they realize they don't have to spend a few extra minutes meticulously adding ingredient after ingredient). They have TONS of other toppings to choose from at no additional cost, but I don't need too much action with these types of bowls. The bowl itself is pretty tasty - it does the job. A few times I thought they went a little too heavy on the aioli (which makes me have to blow my nose and then give a reassuring look to fellow patrons that I don't have COVID. Always fun in NYC.), but that's ultimately on me to manage them a bit better, and I have made strides in that area. The salmon and avocado are usually very fresh. Every great once in a while the avocado looks a LITTLE brown but nothing egregious and certainly not discernable to the palate, and I've seen maybe three or four fatty/stringy pieces of salmon the entire time I've been frequenting this place. That honestly might not be avoidable (I don't know what goes into the extensive prep of a poke bowl place when it comes to their fish) and again, it's not typical. My biggest qualm with Poke Bowl is the price. It should say something that, in a city and even a specific neighborhood that's known for being expensive, multiple reviews have mentioned the cost. Even taking into account the inflationary drama going on right now, this bowl is about $5 too expensive. I used to get the exact same bowl/quality in Jersey City for about $12. The price structure with the proteins is prohibitive, in my opinion. I'm not looking to massively binge-eat at lunch (I'd guess on average I'm trying to consume about 700 calories or so to get me through the day with minimal naughtiness), but the one- and two-protein bowl options are just not very generous - you're almost forced to go with the most expensive option to avoid having to go somewhere else for a little more sustenance. The other issue (and it seems to be universal with poke establishments) is the added cost of avocado. It's a superfood, takes a little more effort to peel and cut - I get it. But I don't understand why a sushi restaurant doesn't charge extra for the inclusion of avocados in their rolls but poke bowl establishments do. Regardless, it means that a visit to Poke Bowl is always going to be about $20, which is just too much for a normal lunch that's not a formal sit-down experience with wait service. Poke Bowl is reliable and consistent, and as an aside, every person behind the counter has been friendly and accommodating. In a pinch, it's a convenient stop to grab lunch when you have no other plans and your stomach is grumbling. But based on the price point, unfortunately it's not a place I can justify going to more than two or three times a month.

I payed with coins for the poke bowl and I didn’t like the way the cashier looked at me, there was no people in the line. I said “have a good day” she didn’t answer me anything back except unpleasant eyesight

Ordered the Honolulu Salmon Poke Plenty Bowl and nearly all of the ingredients were missing. This bowl costs $17.45 and this is an unacceptable oversight

I would never eat here again. I spend $20 for a poke bowl that normally cost me $14 in the staten island mall . Everything is a extra charge when it should just come with your food mainly if you aren't getting half of the stuff that comes with the meal originally... Then server was nice

This was my first experience with poke bawl. Today I decided to try it for the first time. And this is what I got for 17$. The bowl was a quarter empty. Half empty. Yes, I ate it all, I was very hungry, but it was unpleasant to eat it, honestly. You know, it reminds me. Instagram (pictures) and reality. Complete disappointment.

Too much wasabi soy sauce. I'm usually eat whole but this place made me taste of lot sauce. Disappointed this. Please train her well. I was being refused to wash hands properly inside because I had both hands dirty. She gave me a dry pepper and I asked her put water. Sigh... I'm not coming back here again.
