I have been 3 times in the past 3 weeks and I'm in love!!!! Can't wait to go back and try something different this time. So much to choose from. read more

I've ordered lunch from them twice - I love the value I get even with the Thai Tea included, which is the best I've had in a while. It's real, not that heavy syrupy fake taste you find elsewhere. I will say they're apt to forget the avocado which can make me upset given it's a dollar up charge. I order direct delivery from their website and it's still cheaper and faster than lots of surrounding midtown restaurants, and good quality! read more

This is my favorite place for poké in Atlanta! The portion sizes are reasonable, and the fish is always buttery and tender. Whenever I am in the Atlanta area, I find time to come here for a poke bowl. The restaurant itself is simple and straightforward with very minimal decor. The vibe is similar to most fast-food restaurants. You start by filling out a menu sheet, and you hand it to their staff, and the staff will assemble your bowl for you. They do have a point system that you can sign up for if you frequent it. They also have a sign-up for you to validate your parking so that you don't have to pay for it, and restrooms are for customers only. read more

Circle Poke - Build your own - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food was good here & the salmon was very fresh. The only reason they're getting a 3 is because my order was made incorrectly, although it was a takeout. When you walk in, you fill out a sheet of paper of what you want, hand it to them at the register, then they make it & bag it while you wait. I'm used to watching while my poke is made, so this was different. Unfortunately for me, my order had things in it I didn't check & was missing one of the 2 sauces I did check. I also wish I could have asked for more sauce. The bowl is deep & they only drizzled the sauce on top. Other than those avoidable mishaps, the salmon & spicy tuna were good. read more

Circle Poke - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Circle Poke is one of those spots that keeps things simple but hits every time. The fish is fresh, portions are solid, and you can really customize your bowl exactly how you want it. The flavors are clean and balanced--not overly heavy on sauces unless you ask for it. Service is quick, and the overall vibe is casual and easy. Great option if you want something fresh, filling, and consistent without overthinking it. read more

Great poke!!! I love that you fill out a paper form to order. They must get lots of online orders because I had to wait a bit for mine, even when I was the only person in the store. Spicy tuna is very finely minced, with good flavor. Other fish were fresh. Avocado not worth the additional price. read more

Top notch poke. Fresh build your own bowl. Super fresh ingredients with good options. medium bowl was filling. Big fan.

This place is a gem. It is hard to find affordable food in downtown Atlanta, and the Poke is world class. It competes with the best of the best in terms of freshness and taste. The rice is always perfect and the food the two passionate owners make is so consistent and high quality. The ambiance is modern and meticulously clean. This is one of the few restaurants that I can say I am a regular at. Amazing. read more

Circle Poke - a plate of rice and vegetables - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

circle poke is located just off of georgia tech's west side of campus. it's a small shop that is currently only doing takeout. you write down your order on a paper menu, hand it to them, and then pay for your order after it has been assembled. they have definitely raised their prices (the sign says it's because they are closing down and need to raise them to support the business). the small create your own bowl is now $11.95 i got the spicy tuna and the salmon and then an assortment of veggies and sauces. typical toppings like seaweed salad and masago unfortunately cost extra to add on. you can choose multiple sauces and they mix it in for you. serving size was generous. the spicy tuna is finely minced which isn't my favorite but it still tasted good. rice was clumpy and a bit dry. overall a decent poke spot in midtown -- docked stars for no indoor seating, price increase, lack of premium toppings, and clumped up rice read more

I adore the poke bowls here, and I'm so glad it's so close to me. In the past 6 months, I've gone almost 10 times (confirmed this by looking at my reward card -- can't wait for the free bowl!). I appreciate their system of checking what you want on a piece of paper and passing it to them. It's pretty efficient especially when many people come in at once. Some poke places give you the smallest cubes of fish, but they don't skimp on that here. The scoops are generous, and a small bowl goes a long way. For me, it's one really hefty meal or 2 decently-sized ones (though it's hard to only eat half and save the rest for later!). Everything is always super fresh, and I love all the options that you can choose from. It didn't take me long to figure out my favorite bowl combination, and I get it nearly every time. read more

Circle Poke - SMALL - Create Your Own Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We were really impressed with the poke we had at Circle Poke. It's some of the best we've tried to date, perhaps the best. All of the ingredients were fresh, the portion sizes were generous, and service was great. I'm giving these guys 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. Circle Poke opened in March 2018 on the ground level of the Arium Westside apartments at the corner of Northside Dr and 10th St near Georgia Tech and Atlantic Station. These apartments used to be called Tenside and include other restaurant tenants like Three Dollar Cafe, Five Guys, Jersey Mike's, and Sarpino's Pizzeria. Free parking is available in Arium's deck with entrances on both Northside and 10th. Circle Poke has both a back entrance from the deck and a front entrance that faces Northside Dr. This is a small restaurant that's set up pretty much like the other poke places around town. It's a stand-in-line fast-casual joint with a made-to-order poke assembly line. It's a simple, open, clean space with interior seating for about 20 customers and more seats outside on the uncovered patio. Fountain drinks, eating utensils, napkins, etc. are self-serve. You can create your own poke or order one of the signature house pokes. Custom poke bowls start at $8.95 for a small (2 proteins) to $12.95 for a large (4 proteins). The menu and servers walk you step by step through the ordering process from choosing your base and proteins to your sauces and garnishes. Some add-ons, like avocado and tamago (Japanese omelet) cost $0.50 each. There are over a half-dozen signature house pokes to choose from and they run $9.95 to $14.99 each. It's a fairly streamlined menu. We got the Original Circle House Poke ($13.99). It was excellent and I highly recommend it. By default, it comes with tuna, spicy tuna, spring mix, cucumber, seaweed salad, avocado, masago (fish eggs), crab meat, spicy mayo, ponzu, and wasabi dressing. We subbed out spicy tuna and replaced it with salmon (I'm not a fan of spicy tuna). We also added garnishes at the end - seaweed (dried slivers), fumi furikake (dried fish, seaweed, and sesame seed), nori furikake (seaweed and sesame seed), and crispy onion. Crispy tempura is the only garnish we did not get. The base options are sushi rice, brown rice, and salad mix (we got sushi rice). The poke was outstanding. The quality of all of the ingredients was good. The avocado was half an avocado which was generous. Overall, it was a fresh, flavorful, filling, and well-made bowl. We also got the Volcano ($14.99) with a sushi rice base. The Volcano consists of tuna, albacore, octopus, salmon, crab meat, onion, jalapeno, green onion, pineapple, masago, salad mix, spicy mayo, wasabi mayo, and wasabi dressing. What the menu didn't specify is several of these ingredients are put together and torched before being placed inside a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. The items that are torched are the proteins and sauce. It's neat to watch. It's similar to aburi sushi (flame-seared sushi). I guess that's why this bowl is called the Volcano. The Volcano was tasty, but we didn't like it as much as the Original. I'd rate the Original 5 stars and the Volcano 4 stars (still good). I didn't like the Volcano as much because of all the sauces. It had too much sauce for me. Towards the end, it got harder to eat because everything was drenched in mayo/dressing. Aside from that, the ingredients themselves were fresh and high quality and the amount of food was plentiful. I chose fumi furikake, nori furikake, and crispy onion as the garnishes for this one. Service was terrific. We were greeted with a smile by Sang (nice guy) and he prepared our bowls for us. Not only did the bowls taste yummy, but their presentation was beautiful too. Sang gave me a Circle Poke loyalty card (most of these poke places offer loyalty cards). If you buy 10 bowls of poke, you get 1 small bowl ($8.95 value) free. I look forward to returning. read more

Solid poke place!! You can choose from their selection of recommended bowls or do their build your own. I like that for the build-your-own bowl, you can fill out an order sheet, which is perfect for when you don't have the energy to repeat yourself to the server lol. A small poke bowl with 2 proteins is around $12 and was super filling! read more

I've been coming here since 2021. As of 2/24/23, they finally allow you to dine in. The inside is pretty small. To place your order, you build your own bowl and check off what you want on a slip of paper. You can get a small (2 protein), medium (3 protein), or large bowl (4 protein). I always get the small because I noticed that the small and medium are the same size bowl, the only difference is the amount of protein, but the difference is negligible. In my opinion, I think the small is the best option for the price and portion. The small bowl is already super filling because of all the rice. For protein, I recommend salmon and spicy tuna. Salmon is a classic, and the spicy tuna is well seasoned. If you come here often, don't forget to ask for a loyalty reward card. For every 10 bowls, you get your 11th for free (small poke bowl). My only complaint about this place is that one time I found a black plastic/material in my bowl. I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't leave a great impression. Other than that, this is a good poke place and the fish tastes relatively fresh, there are a lot of available toppings and you can create a bunch of different combinations. Combinations I've had are listed below: Poke Bowl (Small) - sushi rice, cucumber, sweet corn, edamame, green onion, salmon, spicy tuna, spicy mayo, poke ponzu, tempura crunch, crisp onion Poke Bowl (Medium) - sushi rice, carrot, onion, cucumber, cilantro, sweet corn, edamame, green onion, salmon (x2), spicy tuna, spicy mayo, poke ponzu, sesame oil, tempura crunch, crisp onion, sesame seed, fumi furikake read more

Can't complain about more Poke shops opening up near me! Circle Poke is a recent addition to West Midtown along the border of Georgia Tech. Its sandwiched in the Arium Westside retail space with the likes of Smoothie King and Five Guys. Luckily they had free retail parking within the block as it's already so hard to find parking. When you walk inside, it's almost as if you entered a Paris inspired cafe. The decor is metropolitan and rather chic, an interesting take for a poke restaurant. The poke experience is pretty much the same here as well, choose the size you want (small = 2 scoops of protein, med = 3, etc.), base of rice, proteins, veggies, toppings, and sauce. I'll highlight the differences (more or less annoyances). Their selection of protein is rather nice and varied. All their protein is the same price, so you could opt for scallops and crawfish instead of the normal varieties. My biggest complaint is that the crab salad is one of the protein options, when most places give it for free as a side (I'll get into this later). Also the spicy tuna looks mushy, way more so than most places I've been to. It looks like the consistency of ice cream. They have a pretty poor selection of veggies. The usual culprits are there, but different kinds of greens and jalapenos are no where in sight. The same goes for their selection of dressings, normally more traditional sauces like shoyu. Oh man but no sides is my biggest annoyance. Why is seaweed salad extra? Literally every poke place I've been has the option of having seaweed salad as a side. Even crab salad is a side at most places. Masago (fish eggs) is extra at this place, which bugs me even more. Lastly, they don't have wasabi for some apparent reason. The only ginger they had is that convenience store sushi pink kind. As for service, the lady behind the counter didn't acknowledge my size requests at all, for example when I asked for a little bit of the furikake she had the nerves to dump a large spoonful onto my food. Also another reviewer pointed out but my bowl had a lot of juices/water at the bottom too. It was pretty annoying especially when I got to the end of my meal. read more

I've ordered from here 3 times within one week. That goes to show you how much I love this place. I order the large bowl with crawfish, shrimp, spicy tuna, salmon, avocado, spicy wasabi, crunchy tempura with brown rice. Yum! I order from ubereats and never dine in so I can't speak much on the service, but the food is exceptional. This should be on your must try list. I'll be ordering again soon. read more

Very fresh, I really like this place. We have repeatedly ordered from them for poke last 5-6x. Surprisingly I've actually never stepped foot in the restaurant itself since Ubereats was so easy. Normally I get the build your own. The amount of food you get is worth the money! read more

Circle Poke - Small Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Fast and standard poke place in Midtown. It was decent, but I felt that other poke places have a better deal on add-ons for the same base price. The scooper was not listening to me and scooped the wrong items, but I thankfully don't have any allergies. I also unfortunately found a hair in my food. While I didn't make a big fuss about it because the rest of the bowl was fine and tasted good, this along with the mediocre service makes me unlikely to want to return here. As for the poke itself, I think it tasted pretty good. The rice is firm sushi rice which I enjoy (they also have brown rice). The seafood tasted decently fresh (I got salmon and octopus). Items like seaweed salad, masago, crab salad etc cost extra, and I normally wouldn't mind, but there are other midtown spots that don't do that, and those are some of my fave items. There is a small amount of indoor seating, and while they had a lot of customers, most people took it to go. read more

This is the best poke I've ever had. I've been coming here for about 4 years and even after moving away, I always make my way back when I'm remotely close. The fish is so fresh and the bowls are meticulously made each time. The service is fast and they even have a rewards program. I will rave about this place forever. read more

The bowls were efficiently and cleanly made. The fish tastes pretty fresh, and the price is not too bad for Atlanta poke. The portion is reasonable as well! You can't sit inside now, but hopefully it will open up back soon. They also have cards to collect stamps, and if you collect a certain amount, you can get a discount or free bowl! read more

It's finally too expensive for me to justify the expense. I just spent $25 on a large bowl and a coke. That's too much for lunch.

Best poké I've tried! I haven't been to too many poké places but this is definitely my favorite. It's located near Georgia tech and has a free parking garage in the back. The inside is pretty small but there's seating. I always make my own small bowl but I've heard good things about the bowls on the menu. I think I like this place because they tend to use more sauce for the bowls than other places which in turn makes it more flavorful. The employees are always very nice. I've eaten here about 10 times and I've never gotten sick from the food. I'm normally pretty full from eating a bowl here, but people with larger appetites might want to try getting more rice in their bowl as well. Getting a medium bowl only adds another protein so it's not that much more filling than the small. If it's your first time trying poké then I think the ponzu and spicy mayo sauce combination is always a good idea. I normally get salmon and octopus for my protein which are both always fresh and tasty. Some toppings cost extra though which is a downside but I can usually live without them. read more

It's a great place overall. Service is great, there's usually one lady getting food for customers, and she's helpful and nice. Small but bright place, I went there only during lunch hours, so a lot of ppl come grab work lunch here, since it's fast and convenient. What's the best about this place is the fish. Salmon is the best. I love it. It's so fresh, so buttery, omg it's my go to salmon place if I have some sashimi craving. And it's very healthy too, high protein, low fat, bunch of veggies, fresh taste, crunchy sides, they are all good. It's just totally worth the price. I usually get very full on a small bowl, and the fish is really fresh for a 10$ bowl. Spicy mayo and ponzu are my fav. And I always have wasabi mayo on the side for my fish. Do try the SALMON if you are a raw fish lover. read more

No complaints here. I come often because prices are reasonable, and there are just so many options. I normally build my own bowl. A small bowl is more than enough food for me, but if I'm extra hungry the medium bowl (the only difference is the additional protein) is my go to. If you're unsure of what to get, ask the staff, or even a patron. Everyone's extremely friendly. Stop by and try it out if you're ever in the city! read more

Circle Poke - A medium poke build: all veggies, 3 proteins, avacado. Topped with all the free toppings and sauces. - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Great customer service and the food is really healthy. Great for getting the extra protein.

Used to be fantastic. I've been going here since 2020 and it's always been great. More recently, their hours online have not matched what's on their door which resulted in me showing up multiple times when it said they were open, but they were closed. I get staffing issues and all that but it would be nice to keep them updated online. Then, it seems they are finally open all week again! But the new workers do not know what they are doing. I didn't even get the right proteins (I didn't check salmon but got it), I was missing veggies, she forgot to put 2 of my sauces, and the bowl was like half the size I normally get here! There was hardly any rice at all. I really hope they get this sorted out because this was the best poke spot in midtown. read more

5 stars to the service at this one! The gal working was a-dor-a-ble and so sweet/professional. She really put a lot of care into making our bowls. She made it an art! She also had great suggestions when my boyfriend didn't know which sauces to get. 5 stars to the food! The bowls were top notch! Very fresh ingredients and I felt like they had a few extra options that other poke places don't usually carry (like jalapeños). It was a bit odd that the crab salad was considered a protein rather than an add on but not a big deal at all--especially when they had delicious CRAB STICKS as add ons! Aye-ohhhh! It did feel a bit pricey compared to other spots (cost me $30 for 2 medium bowls (with add ons and 2 drinks)) BUT I do not mind paying more when the food and service is high quality. The restaurant was also very clean which is always a good sign. We will be back! This I can guarantee! read more

Been visiting multiple poke spots around Atlanta and this one is by far the best. The portion is twice the size than others, great flavors and basically unlimited toppings/veggies. I can't even finish the small size in one sitting as it's already a huge portion, and for only $12, which is extremely good for what you get. Don't usually write reviews but this place is so good it deserves to stay! Straight to the point place, fill out a sheet and hand it over. They also have a rewards card. Only con is that I wish it was open til later at night read more

Ordered from here during Covid via Uber Eats and was pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality of my bowl.

I can't imagine how Poke could be any better than this. Fresh ingredients meticulously prepared with skill and care. I have eaten here at least 20 times and every time my order comes out the exact same - a testament to their attention to detail. The price is also a steal compared to other poke places in Atlanta. I get the "small" and can rarely finish it, and I eat a lot. I have been coming here for 4 years and will definitely continue to stop by anytime I'm in Atlanta. read more

I went to Circle Poke with a couple of friends on a Friday afternoon for lunch. It had just opened up and I was stoked that a new poke place close to midtown/campus had opened. Poke prices were pretty much as expected from any other poke places. Small was around $8.95, medium was $10.95 and a large was an extra $2 on top of that (I think). From what I can remember, there were three bases you could choose from: white rice, brown, salad mix. I thought it was kinda weird to include salad mix when you could order salad as one of your sides lol. For your meats, you had salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, scallops. P standard meats. I ended up getting salmon and tuna to test out the waters. They also offered lots of condiments from seaweed to imitation crab and also a few sauces to top it all off. Portion size was aighttttt. I eat a lot so it didn't exactly fill me up but compared to other poke places, it was a lil bit on the smaller size. Cashier was super nice and give us a lil tip on how to get a discount! Also for those of you reading this and don't know what poke is, think about Chipotle except with fish and more Asian-inspired ingredients read more

Circle Poké is pretty comparable to other poké places in the Atlanta area. When I went, the place had been open for about 2 weeks so the service was a little slow. The place itself is small, but the seating area is very nice. The employee who made my poké bowl that day was very nice and helpful on what I needed. I got a small bowl so just two proteins. There's a wide selection of vegetables and garnishes you can choose from and they're unlimited. The food was well presented in the bowl. The food was really good too, being tasty and filling. I will say that the bowl took longer than I expected to make, but I attribute it to how new the place was when I went. Overall, I think this is a pretty standard poke place. With the improvement of speed of assembly of food, I think this place could be great. read more

Circle Poke! Another poke spot I can finally cross off my list. I came in with a close friend of mine with the intention of exploring a new restaurant together. And I gotta say, this place is a solid, reasonable poke spot in West Midtown. It is one among several restaurants located on the street level of Arium Westside apartments on Northside Drive. There is a parking garage for patrons (Level 1-2) and residents (Level 3+). When we first walked in, we were greeted by a vibrant staff member behind the counter. Her energy got me even more hyped for the food lol. Anyways, we opted to make our own poke bowl. Pricing: Super reasonable for the portions I received. Small ($8.95): 2 proteins Medium ($10.95): 3 proteins Large ($12.95): 4 proteins Our order below... Size: Medium Base: Brown Rice Proteins: Shrimp, Salmon and Ahi Tuna Veggies: Edamame, Cucumber, Green Onions Sauces: Poke Ponzu and Spicy Mayo Garnish: Furikake and Crispy Onions The fish was fresh and the portions were generous. I thought everything was very tasty. However, I believe she gave us too much brown rice. Service was great though. We had no issues when asking for some extra sauce. The interior is clean, well-lit and organized. One thing to mention though is they charge $0.50 extra for add-ons which include seaweed salad, avocado, crab salad, masago and tamago. I have not encountered a poke spot that charged for masago before. So that was a slight turn-off. And because of this, I would probably go to Fish Bowl Poke or Poke City (both are also more convenient for me vs. Circle Poke). Those places don't charge for crab salad, masago or seaweed salad. And avocado is free at Fish Bowl. Buuuuuut, this doesn't mean Circle Poke isn't a good place to satisfy your poke cravings. read more

This place is new and still just kicking off but they are doing a phenomenal job! Like many poke places, you have the option to make your own or chose from a menu of bowls. I went with the octopus and spicy tuna. Yum! I also got to sample the crawfish which is marinated in spicy mayo. I'm a huge fan of crawfish and I love a good Cajun/old bay seasoning but this spicy mayo crawfish was surprisingly tasty. Staff: Extraordinarily sweet! The staff was super helpful and friendly. They made the experience more pleasant and the owner is a treat! He even gave us complimentary miso soup because it was on of their first days serving it. It's only 1.45 a bowl. Worth it. We were planning to order it anyway. Location: Cute place. Not a whole lot goin on, but the decor is simple and nice. They keep the place clean. I even noticed a 100A for their health check score. Yay! Wouldn't expect any less for a place serving raw fish. Parking: Parking garage right around back. Plenty of space! Pricing: The pricing is average. Most poke places seem to be on the same page as far as cost. I posted some pictures of the menu for all your options, but just for an idea - a small bowl is 8.95 and add ons are 50¢ each. I believe my bowl came out to 10.50, but I loaded up on the toppings. :) I highly recommend this place for people who like poke or are looking for the right place to give poke a try!
