Andrea FerreyrosFebruary 5, 2016I had the most delicious meal here! I created my own brown rice bowl and added a mix of ahi tuna and salmon. They have a lot complimentary add ons. Get ready to wait bc there's always a lengthy line!
Fee OApril 18, 2016Totally worth every penny, you can choose from 2 protein selections with a regular which is more than enough, And endless tasty toppings. Wasabi aoili sauce was great, ponzu as well.
- Yelimar RodriguezMay 22, 2016Omg I made my poke burrito with ahi tuna, shrimp, cucumber, mango, hijiki, fish roe, cilantro, ginger, and Ponzu. Holy Heavens it was so good!!!
- I make my own bowl because it's free toppings! So good. It gets busy and there is such limited seating, so if you get food here, be prepared to eat it elsewhere
Michael KauffmanMarch 29, 2016Fresh and tasty. Skip the burrito (seaweed wrap a bit tough to bite through) and opt for a bowl. Spicy Ahi burrito pictured:
Staff PicksJanuary 21, 2016Trending this week is a taste of Hawaii in the concrete jungle. Pokēworks offers the island's raw fish salad specialty in a variety of combinations. You can also get your poke in burrito form. Read more
Mai TaJanuary 17, 2016The salmon and tuna are fresh. Huge selection of toppings, which are also very good. They let you choose between, I think, 6 different sauces so that's always good.
Ashley SpechtMarch 20, 20162 hour wait. Like most I was forced to reevaluate my life choices in line. Totally worth it. No seating inside, so walk a few blocks to Bryant Park and enjoy that good life decision. No shame in 2nds.
TomApril 3, 2016Not authentic, but fresh and surprisingly delicious. Seaweed was a little tough, bowl over burrito. Worth a short wait (<15min), skip if there's more than 5 people waiting outside.
Eric TsaiApril 18, 2016Create your own bowl and get as many mixins, toppings, and crunches as you want. Can be overwhelming but honestly it's hard to go wrong when the fish is this fresh
Amanda SchaeferNovember 11, 2016It's like chipotle but with sushi ingredients, delicious and filling! Not too pricey either. There's not too many spots to sit inside, so plan to take to go
Lillian CheungFebruary 4, 2016Beware of long lines but they let you add in as many mix-ons and toppings (get the crunches) that you like!
Sushi burrito is what draws people in but the rice bowls and salads are good too. Tuna,salmon and lots of toppings to choose from.
Jeff WooFebruary 1, 2016The salmon shiso and umami classic are 2 great options. I prefer the bowl to the burrito, which gets a bit messy.
Jay LJanuary 31, 2016Salmon shiso and tuna bowl were so good, huge portions and lots of tasty add-ons.
Nick AndlingerJanuary 26, 2016Not authentic by any means but the fish was fresh and the poke was delicious. Solid midtown lunch option.
Kevin O'NeillJune 9, 2016Come to grips with the need to eat lunch at 11am or 2pm and avoid the long lines because it is good poke.
Ryan AmbsJanuary 21, 2016The amount of choices can be intimidating, but the quality of the ingredients probably means you won't mess it up. The real trick though, will be eating it slowly enough to savor the freshness.
Go Find AliceJuly 23, 2017Pretty good poke with make your own bowl options. Good quality fish but the portion sizes are pretty small for the price charged
Rebecca MazzaApril 13, 2016Worth the 30 minute wait. Fresh ingredients and helpful staff despite the commotion
C DaleyJanuary 27, 2016Super fresh, amazing service, delicious tuna umami and salmon bowls. Went back 3 days in a row
Helen KangMarch 6, 2016Never had Poké before but it was pretty good! I had the tuna burrito, about $11 totally worth it.
Nancy LoDecember 24, 2016Ordered a poke bowl as opposed to the famous poke burrito. It was great but the portions were smaller than I expected.
- Twinkle DenoyoJanuary 26, 2017Tiny little spot for reaaally good poke, very affordable too. Loved the spicy ahi tuna
Beth KDecember 19, 2015Super fresh, yummy and fast! A taste of hawaii. Try the poke burrito, genius idea.
LillianJanuary 18, 2016Got the Hawaiian classic but asked to mix tuna with salmon. Looking forward to trying more.
Andrew 👀 WongFebruary 4, 2016No "fast food" place is good enough for a 1-hour wait. All that time wasted for a mediocre fish/rice/salad mix served up in Chipotle fashion, not even half as good as real Hawaiian poke. Never again.
Colin LeeSeptember 24, 2016Hawaiian classic. You can customize the order however way you want..limited seating here though (5 seats)
Raquelle JessieMay 18, 2016ahi tuna+tobiko+brown rice+sriracha aoli+mango+cucumber+avocado+lotus chips+spicy sriracha + sesame sauce = shangri la
Tea HoMay 28, 2016The bowls are delicious but the lines are always too long because the staff is incredibly disorganized. I shouldn't have to repeat my order to 5 different people in order to get something made.
Food is really good! But they need to work on their operations...
HankJanuary 10, 2016In deconstructing poke, the authenticity is gone. Now anyone can do it "subway" style. Still.. Better than no poke.
Nitzan BMay 13, 2016Huge line at lunch time. Pick ups are available only if you order 24 hours in advance!
Jackie LhoApril 20, 2016Ridiculously long line to get some very average poke. I wanted to try it based on all the hype, but Sons of Thunder is far superior, cleaner, and worth your time.
Not bad for Subway/Chipotle-style poke! The umami classic is a safe choice.- JT ReddickApril 27, 2016CO treated Tuna, unfresh Salmon, fake food toppings like crab meat and green seaweed salad........... Avoid for your health.
Monica KingFebruary 11, 2016Rice was undercooked... Otherwise it was great to finally have some poké in NYC!
Mat BrownMay 30, 2016Come for the unnecessarily customizable poké; stay because you’re still waiting on line.
Long line, but very worth it. Make your own bowl!
