I go here all the time for their custom poke bowls. Great people, great food, great price, and truly stunning delivery speeds. From ending my call if I order just one poke bowl for myself it’s often at my place (11 blocks away) in under 15 min which honestly seems impossible, but they do it.

Poke bowls are always good. I always get tofu (vegetarian), and love the half & half option for the base (I get brown rice and salad). It's always filling and flavorful but doesn't feel too heavy.

Best poke in Manhattan – so fresh and such a good price ♥️

I’ve ordered a couple times, and the poké bowls are great! The portion size is big, and selection of toppings is a good variety. The orders have been right every time and the food is so good. Will definitely be a go-to spot for me!

This simple poke business has delicious, fresh ingredients. Pick a pre-set combo, or pick your own ingredients. My fave incude salmom, sushi rice, avocado, onion spicy mayo, edamame and cruncy onions, plu a few other tasty bits. The set price inludes a generous allowance for different ingredients. Primarily a busy take-out joint, there are 3 small tables in the flouresent light kit space. Food arrives super fast.

This place is AMAZING, it was the first place I've ever tried poke and I fell in love. I try to get every person I know to come here and they love it. I go there every week or every other week. The serving size is great with the meats and the rice, I've tried other poke places and this has to be my #1

Love it!! Great poke in the area.

This place is awesome! I always get the make your own poke bowl which gets loaded up for a good price. I have yet to try their sushi but will soon

Awesome sushi and poke! The dinner bento box is a worth it deal if you’re hungry! You get an entree, appetizer, and sushi for $20 - this spot is underrated in a neighborhood amongst many Japanese places

Great option for lunch in the area. I picked up a two protein poke bowl for around 18$ (added avocado) and was satisfied with the portion and flavors. They have a full extensive menu as well with special rolls and hot food. Quick friendly service.

In an area crowded with many fantastic sushi restaurants, Kealoha manages to stand out with their extremely low prices. I ordered three different sushi options with miso soup and the entire order was still under $20. The sushi was decent, but for the price it would be unreasonable to expect more.

The sushi was so amazing, fresh, and delicious. The prices were also very affordable, but I decided to splurge and get multiple appetizers. The yellowtail jalapeno appetizer was so yummy and it melted in my mouth. The fried oysters were also very good, and they definitely did not skimp on the oyster portion. The salmon was delectable as well.

I got it delivered. It was my first pokebowl and I was not disappointed. Fresh ingredients, tasty dressings and toppings and the price is what I expected. I'll probably hit this place twice a month for lunch now that I know. Definitely recommend

The tempura is sooooo good! Love the shrimp and broccoli. Dipping sauce is also very good. Love this restaurant. Shumai is excellent! Update: Just had a cucumber avocado roll and it was sooooo good! I love the food here! Everything is so fresh and expertly prepared. Update: Absolutely the best sushi restaurant in the area. So fresh and they don't skimp! The poke bowls are so fresh and filled with ingredients of your choosing. Wonderfully friendly staff. Affordable. Update: The Bento Box is amazing! Wow! So many yummy things in one meal. Shrimp and veggie tempura, California roll, gyoza, rice and a great salad with ginger dressing. All the sauces are yummy. There was so much food i am stuffed! All for $18.00! So lucky to have this sushi/poke restaurant in the neighborhood! Always fresh tuna sashimi and i love their cucumber/avocado rolls. Thin crispy gyoza with a bright delicious dipping sauce. Yum! Very friendly staff. Super fast service. Great place all around.

I ordered the sashimi 9 piece dinner bento with fried oyster and spicy tuna roll. The sashimi tasted super fresh and the tuna roll was good, BUT the fried oyster was amazing! Did not taste frozen and two big pieces, the sauce it came with was also so yummy, will definitely return.

This is my favorite place. Their fish is fresh and cooked very quickly. It's perfect for my lunch break!

Perfect location. Kind of tucked away / hidden, sushi is fantastic, poke bowls are amazing as well. I come here often, owner is very friendly staff is great as well.

Just simply the best sushi, fastest delivery, amazing healthy poke bowl, lunch specials of unbelievable price for Manhattan, family owned! Friendliest workers!

Fantastic, fresh, and affordable sushi! Highly recommend!

Ordered the lunch, Maki D and the Red snapper fish. It was phenomenal super fresh very impressed for a small take out spot highly recommended 👌

This is hands down my favorite spot for sushi and poke bowls! Everything is always so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The sushi is perfect every time, and the poke bowls are generous with toppings and bursting with flavor. Even for takeout, the presentation is great and the quality is unbeatable. I’m always excited to order from here!

Great poke. I usually place orders for pickup and eat in the park when I'm in the city for work. Food is always promptly made with fresh ingredients and great taste. You get much more and much better food for the same price as Pokeworks or Poke City, plus you get to support a local business. Win-win. 10/10, would recommend!

This place has been one of our go-to spots in the area of poke. The portion sizes are lovely and flavors amazing.

Love this place. Everyone is nice and the yellowtail and tuna are fire

If this place had atmosphere I'd give it 5 stars. Fantastic quality fish. More suited to takeout and delivery vs. eat in.

Amazing. One of the best sushi I ever had .bit expensive but ay what's cheap in New York?

Food is great In this place but the only downfall is no real seating or better said very limited seating. So if you planning on going with a big group your better of with to go food instead. Overall the food is great and the service was good.

Average food but good, fast service. Food - average. Not sure if people in this review has had true fresh fish (fresh fish to me is what you get in omakase) but this place uses standard grade sushi fish. Some has a stronger smell and is more mushy (fatty) than others. Portion size is good. The beef don was not bad but most of it was rice. Miso soup was good that came with the Don and dinner entree. Dinner entree with pork katsu was good. Rainbow sushi was average. Not bad but not the best. The tempura appetizer was not good; only the shrimp had flavor but all the vegetables were not seasoned. Would have given 3 stars for food. Service - nice staff. They try to work fast and is attentive. Gave extra star because hostess allow us to dine in with our small dog. Vibe - very small. 3 rows of table for dine in. Busy behind the sushi counter and one hostess. We were the only dine-in party. Small business that is worth supporting. Price - average dish is around $15-20 with lots of option. Not the cheapest but not expensive. I believe people do a lot of takeout because the price is not bad for the area. Portion size is decent for what you pay. Cleanliness - for dine in, they mostly use disposable utensils and plates. Place seemed average clean but it’s so small so you cant expect much. Works wear masks.

Got the spicy combo. Tuna, salmon, crab salad, avocado, corn, shitake. Great, but pricey for what you get.

So far I’ve had fried oyster, poke bowl, and yellowtail sushi from this place. Enjoyed each one of them immensely. Not only the food is fresh, they tasted delicious! Compared to a few places I’ve tried, price is very comparable to New York pricing. Definitely returning myself and recommending others. Easy street parking if you need to stop in and pick up. If you walk East, there’s a nice park to enjoy your meal. I don’t live in NY but I could definitely seeing this as my routine weekly stop if I do.

Super market sushi experience. Great price

Very average sushi. I feel as though some things weren't completely fresh. I think there are better places for the same price point

Ordered the Hawaiian Tuna Poke Bowl. Lots of peripheral garnishes...very LITTLE tuna...in fact, I had to search for the tuna.

With its bare-bones interior, Kealoha is probably better suited for takeout. The low price is the main draw here but don’t expect exceptional quality fish. As such, the rolls seem better than the sashimi, where you can really assess the fish. The side salad was just iceberg lettuce and a drizzle of dressing.

Good food, mopping under me while eating 30 mins before close. Used single use plastics for all items for dine in. Do a little better please.

Kealoha draws you in with the name but.. 1. There was no aloha. The staff was rude, curt and didn’t seem to care. 2. There were people sleeping in the restaurant and nobody seemed to care. 3. The fad of “poke bowl” restaurants that barely resemble poke? This is just another one of them. I asked, where’s shoyu? Spicy? They pointed to one item called the Hawaiian. It’s just another fad place that doesn’t really do Hawaiian style poke. I set the menu down and left feeling no aloha and very disappointed.

I use to like this place and would still recommend their poke food. But I will avoid cooked food or ordering from them if you have food allergies. I called for a pick-up and had requested to take out taro and sweet potato as I am allergic. And of course, they did not follow instructions and even provided extra sweet potato and taro to the order. Now I am having an allergy attack as I did not realize there was taro and sweet potato mixed with the vegetables. Requests such as these should be taken seriously as bad allergy attacks could be debilitating and even lead to serious hospitalization.

They must be scamming these good reviews. We got a delivery, inedible. Wound up throwing it away and having toast.

I am really disappointed after I had just finished my bowl. I went above and beyond to get an order from them because of the high ratings however my food was more than underwhelming. It tasted stale and old, had almost no fish nor avocado. Totally different than the first time. Really disappointed. I hope I won’t get sick as I finished it only bc I was hungry. Never again

The quality of foods was very poor everything has tuff smell, I don't recommend go to there, just one thing I liked the server she was nice and friendly
