    As a vegetarian, "poke" is essentially out of my reach but I was very pleased to see vegetarian options at this place and decided to order delivery from this place for a work lunch. I love the build-your-own option and went that route. I wanted to be "healthy" and ordered greens as my base with a bunch of veggies and edamame as toppings and finished everything off with tofu. They have a wide variety of sauces from which to choose and I was looking forward to sampling the "wasabi soy". The bowl arrived on time via uber eats. It was sizable but not what I would expect for $16. Immediately I noticed one of the pieces of lettuce was brown and rotting, see attached photo. This completely turned me off. Call me crazy, but I would expect they would want to give their customers fresh food instead of rotting ingredients but apparently not. The majority of the greens seemed to be fresh with the exception of a small pile of questionable leaves I constructed because you can be damn sure I had to inspect every forkful after my disappointing discovery. The rest of the vegetables included appeared to be fresh. The "wasabi soy" had no detectable wasabi whatsoever and was essentially just soy sauce so my bowl was vegetables dressed with soy sauce. This whole thing isn't a nonstarter, however. I do appreciate the ability to order something that isn't complete garbage and the customizable aspect so I will likely attempt to order from this place again but will go with the grains instead of the lettuce and another sauce next time.

    This place is great! Very clean, good service, and good, fresh food. Can't wait to go back. Came here for lunch time on a Thursday around 12. Not too busy. There's a lot of topping options, and it's a casual fast food place so you get to see all the toppings as they're putting your bowl together. I got a bowl with white sushi rice, veggies, and tofu with a couple of sauces. Pricing is reasonable. When you go to check out, they ask if you'd like chopsticks or a fork which I think is a nice touch. The food was delicious and I can't wait to go back.

    If you want poke or even chirashi, I would definitely recommend Atlantic Poke. With COVID times, you have to order in advance and call them when you get there so they can bring your order out to your car. But I actually prefer that so I can park my lazy butt in my car and keep my seat nice and warm in this frigid New England weather. Service was fast and friendly. Regarding their poke bowls, I was pretty put off initially by the pricing. Almost $14 just for two scoops?! I'm clearly not from up north and clearly not used to this pricing. After creeping on other Poke options around though, these prices are actually pretty competitive...darn. I'm glad I gave it a chance though because I was full after eating half my bowl, whereas when I normally pay ~$9-$10 for poke in Atlanta, I can easily finish my bowl. Quality definitely seemed good and they didn't stinge on the toppings either. Overall, if I decide I'm okay forking up money for poke, this would be my go-to spot. I would definitely recommend Atlantic Poke.

    I regret to write this but in my opinion, the poke here I did not enjoy. I really wanted to like this place. I've been to Hawaii numerous times and the poke here didn't cut it one bit. I understand that it's not really Hawaiian poke but even their bowls here just wasn't up to par. I opted for a mix bowl with brown rice/tuna/veggies, etc. The rice was dry, and the tuna didn't have much flavor to it--even with their Atlantic sauce. There just wasn't much flavor. The poke here needs a punch in order to be better. I understand the concept how this shop is "chipotle" like but the proteins just needs to be seasoned prior rather then added into a bowl and add sauce to it. Sort of what PokeWorks (franchise evil empire) does. They at least mix the proteins on the spot. That would be my suggestion to start improving. I am no way trying to criticize the business and I commend the efforts of starting the first poke shop in central MA. This is just constructive feedback. Please improve the poke here in Central MA. I'd love to hear more on other reviews to see if ownership would take any steps to improve. Cheers

    Horrible. I've been there before and it wasn't like this. The said if you want more is extra but my bowl is not even half way up. Never going back! Had to pay $38 dollars for this bs

    My most favorite, favorite place to get poke. I've had tons of poke places (even poke places outside of Worcester) and I just feel like nowhere else compares to the fresh fish that they consistently have. I always get white rice with 2 scoops of cucumber, 2 scoops of their roasted corn, scallions, cilantro, seaweed salad, 2 scoops of salmon, Masago and a little of the ginger sauce with heavy on the spicy mayo and pinko and sesame Their spicy mayo is like the cherry on top because it's ACTUALLY spicy and has a little kick to it. One thing I wish is that they had more toppings like fried onion, fried garlic, etc. but I've been told they're gluten free which is why they don't have a lot of those extra toppings available. Nonetheless, I loveeeee Atlantic poke and their fish is so fresh, everytime! This place is a little out of the way for me but it's worth every single trip

    Freshest meat I've had in a poke bowl. Limited sauces and topping though. Overall, pretty good and easy to order, but more toppings and sauces would be nice.

    As far as poke goes it was too pricey for what it was. There wasn't that much fish, and the amount of food you got was subpar. I thought the actual sauces were also very watery. Would not come here again.

    I am beyond excited that this place opened! Always having to travel far for good poke, now it's only about a 15 min drive to get some. When I walked in here, the staff had greeted me, super friendly and explained the process. Although I already knew how it worked, I just like to see how staff handle having to explain the process over and the patience they have with customers to rate their customer service skills. I have to say definitely passed with flying colors! They have pre suggested poke bowls as well as a make it yourself option. The price I have to say is pretty reasonable for the portion of food. The toppings and sashimi pieces are definitely fresh. I have no idea what kind of soy sauce dressing they use but it is amazing! It makes the poke bowl phenomenal for sure! Definitely going to be a go to place for me to enjoy!

    The bowls are great but definitely a little over priced, online ordering is kind of a disaster and this is the only way you can order currently because of covid (the website absolutely needs work) or come up with an app. However i spoke to the manager on the phone who helped me get my order in and accommodated us for the issue so that was appreciated. They're pretty cheap with their avacado so i'd order extra but expect to pay more for extra anything here. Overpriced in general but i'd still go back

    Atlantic Poke is aptly named; it's not Hawaiian poke, and it's great for what it is. From what I understand, more Atlantic flavors are coming. Cool! Environment: Apple meets sashimi Menu: Simple once you figure it out Flavors: Clean, bright and light. A+ Freshness: On point Service: Friendly and helpful. Parking: Abundant Seating: Outdoor and indoor Prices: $28/$29 for 2 people with 3 scoops of protein. It seems a tad high given the size of the scoops, but considering where it is, I'm sure the rent is obscene. I felt like I mostly got my money's worth, though would have preferred 10-15% lower price or slightly more protein - either one. I'm confident that with the feedback solicited, there will be adjustments to portion sizes and/or pricing as they go. Not worth losing a star for, though. I really enjoyed the meal. Overall, I was really happy and I'll be back. The owner came by to say hello and ask how they did. Day 9 of a new business and things going this well is a great sign of a strong future. It's a simple business with a great product in a clean, modern environment. Great job you guys - keep it up and keep listening to your customers! Best of luck for big success.

    First time back to MA, first time eating poke in the east coast. Mind you I'm from SF, California, we're very serious about some good poke and Atlantic poke did not disappoint! Fish was very fresh, Mike who is the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. He let us sample other sauces depending on our taste buds and his staff was great too. I would totally come back here again for my poke needs. Keep up the great service and food!

A few high tops are located along one wall in a hallway toward the back. We found one larger table in a small alcove nearby the high-tops and then there is an open area at the front that hold about twenty tables or so. A microbrewery is attached to the market too.

However, last weekend we decided to give it a try because some times we need to give the benefit of the doubt to some places and judge them by ourselves. Well, to our surprise we had a very pleasant first experience at this place. Starting with the ambience, the restaurant has a nice sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. Everything was very clean and organized in an elegant way, which caused a very good first impression. Continuing with the food, there is a variety of options in the menu, mainly Chinese (of course) but also a Japanese section (sushi and other items). We ordered from the Chinese options...For appetizers we ordered the Thai Spring Rolls, the Scallion Pancakes, and the Boneless Ribs, all of them very delicious. The Scallion Pancakes have been the best in terms of texture that we have tried in the area. Our only recommendation would be to add more scallions to the dough so they can taste more to scallion. The flavor of the Boneless Ribs was very tasty and their texture was tender, not chewy as we have tried in other places. The Thai Spring Rolls were interesting, flavor was good as well as the texture. As main entree, we ordered the Orange Crispy Beef and the Sesame Chichen and found both very delicious. The crispy beef was the first time we tried something like that in the area. The amount of sauce that they used in both dishes was not too excessive and the tenderness of both the beef and the chicken was very good. Regarding drinks, we ordered a Piña Colada and a Polynesian cocktail, both with very balanced flavors. The only recommendation for the Piña Colada is to try making it more frozen and not with too many ice cubes. The flavor was pretty similar to an authentic Piña Colada (we are from Puerto Rico, the place where this drink was born and have to admit that the flavor was good); making it more frozen would give the final touch to make it more authentic, in our opinion. The desserts menu was not extensive at all, only one option available which was the fried ice cream. We decided to try it anyway and found it very good. In terms of the service, it was acceptable. Our server did a great job taking the order and not missing any item as well as serving our table on time and accurate. He wasn't smiling all the time, but he was respectful and polite, enough for us. I would say that if you are in the area, you can give it a try. For 5 years we avoided this place, and unless they changed something recently I have to say that we like the experience and are planning to go back. We don't do late dinner regularly, so we went there around 5:30 pm, which we don't know if that could have made any difference in everything.

Decent amount of mushrooms and tofu, without much variety. -- Egg Roll: Crisp outside, moist inside. Mostly cabbage, with some gray pebbles of pork.

White rice would make more sense (and maybe even more flavor). -- Pork Fried Rice (full order): I ordered an extra to go, to see how it compared against the lunch special rice that wasn't that special. Still light and a little lacking in flavor, but an improvement with the pork and other additions. Fairly average.

    had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the ambience…read morestood out -- warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced between cozy and upscale. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed but still excited for the meal ahead. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. As for the food, I ordered the quarter pound lobster roll, and it was absolutely outstanding. The lobster was fresh, tender, and generously portioned, with flavors that were rich yet beautifully balanced. Every bite was satisfying. Overall, this restaurant delivers on all fronts: atmosphere, service, and quality. I'd happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal!

    So disappointing :( first time coming back in 7 years since moving out of state. Used to come here…read moreall the time in college. Here is the breakdown. The lobster bisque was RICH and thick. Honestly very heavy and was glad I split the one size they had with a friend. It would have been too much. There was a little layer of oil on top too. The Faux Fiz mocktail I got was good. However, a lot of "spices". I ended up requesting more ginger beer and lime to cut it. That helped. But overall good quality drink. The Atlantic salmon crudo was very interesting. Nothing close to what I expected. It was gross. Really thick salmon over globs of a black garlic aioli. The ratio was so off. It was so pasty. I am shocked they haven't reviewed that item on their menu. Usually crudos are so nice and light. This was not. The wild Spanish octopus was the better of the three dishes. Just needed some more salt. Or more of the chorizo would have sufficed. I was surprised that this place was nothing like it used to be. Will not be back :(

    This is my college town favorite for sushi. Came back here for the first time since 2018! I was…read morehappy to see it's still doing well and the food still is the same quality. We got a yellowtail appetizer to start. The slices were thicker than I'm used to for a crudo. I felt something was missing. The sushi and the oyster shooter however were really good! Got two of my favorite rolls - Godzilla and Celtic roll. Along with a couple basic rolls. The Godzilla has a slight sweetness from the banana but it does not take away from the savory flavor profiles. The Celtic roll is a great balance of crunch and smoothness from the avocado. By far- the oyster shooter is my favorite menu item. I got two. Could have had 8 more! I love baba! Hope they continue to stay in business and keep the quality and service consistent as it has always been!

    Came in before the New Year's Eve rush. They had a lot of takeout orders. Made a prior reservation…read moreand food came out pretty efficiently. Sashimi deluxe with rainbow maki- quality of the sashimi was excellent! Thick cut and freshness in color and taste. Rainbow maki was great too! Spicy hamachi and tiger eye maki were soooo good! Salmon roe nigiri are so good! The only complaint is the spider maki. The soft shell crab tempura was stale and tasted awful! The special maki from the season special was excellent! Good balance of the texture and well balanced taste! Excellent presentation and great balanced of rice flavor!!!
