Finally a poke spot that is convenient to West Midtown. When I say convenient I mean not having to deal with the traffic of Midtown and...parking! Circle Poke is situated below 10 Side apartments on Northside Dr, next to Smoothie King and Jersey Mikes. There is plenty of parking in the parking deck behind the place. This operates as most make your own poke bowl places. Choose your base, meat, and toppings. They offer three different sizes a small 8.95, medium 10.95, and large 12.95. I appreciate this because the small is great for lunch or for smaller appetites. Poke leftovers just don't do it for me. My 4 star rating come because it they are nit picky with the menu. They have crab salad as a meat option not a topping, and some of the add ons that are offered as a standard add on at other poke places are $1 per add on (seaweed salad, masago, tamago). I ordered a small bowl with brown rice base, spicy tuna, crab salad, and ALL the veggies. I missed my seaweed salad, but not paying the extra buck. I spent that on the avocado. Everything was very fresh and the portion was just right. The servers were very nice and were helpful with others there that were new to the poke scene : ) Great lunch spot! read more

This is a great place I have been meaning to come here for a long time. Im glad I finally made it. When I walked in there was only two customers ahead of me. Since Covid you have to fill out what you want as you walk in which is very simple to do and the guy who made my pokey bowl he made it like he was making art he made sure everything was nice and neat. I can't wait to eat it. All the food looked fresh and when he was done he put the cover back on the food. Great place. read more

Circle Poke - Large Poke bowl. - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place is a very solid poke spot, I was impressed with the quality and taste for Atlanta but I was a bit hungry afterwards and spent $16 here for lunch. That is why I am giving it four stars instead of five. I have very high expectations for poke having had it in Hawaii and Los Angeles. I created my own bowl and had double scoops of tuna and salmon as my proteins. I added avocado and seaweed salad as additional cost add ons, and used the Wasabi mayo and poke ponzu sauce. It was delicious! The employees were very diligent in assembling the poke bowl and it looked beautiful as a result. However, I worry about how long it would take to assemble one bowl if they got busier. read more

They close earlier than the posted times. Moving forward I will discontinue ordering from them. As a weekly customer who has promoted this establishment to others since they opened EVEN DURING COVID, I feel disrespected and I'm disappointed. read more

Best poke I have had around midtown area. But they are always close on Saturday, which is not updated on Google Map

Closest poke restaurant to Georgia Tech's campus with the highlights of fresh fish and large portion size. Circle Poke follows the formula of most poke restaurants - pick your size (small = 2 protein scoops, medium = 3 protein scoops, large = 4 protein scoops), choose rice or salad, add veggies, add sauce, then pick add-ons for 50 cents each and your garnishes. There are a reasonable number of signature house poke bowls - which will give you the benefit of not needing not to decide what goes into your bowl and add-ons included with the bowl price. A decent amount of dine-in seating is located inside the restaurant. Location/Parking: The restaurant is located in the strip of stores/restaurants at the intersection of 10th and Northside. Street parking is scarce but fortunately, you can park in the adjoining parking deck for free. The entrance is on Tenth Street on the right. The entrance to Circle Poke next to the parking garage is for employees only, so walk around the building to Northside to access the front of the restaurant. Ordering Experience: A bit slower than at other "chain" poke restaurants like Poke City and Poke Bar, but there hasn't been that many customers the several times I've been there. Service is polite - nothing to complain about. What I Tried: Large Poke Bowl ($12.95): For my large poke bowl, I chose brown rice, salmon, tuna, albacore tuna, all of the free veggies, wasabi mayo, and a dash of furikake at the end. My poke bowl was assembled such that the salad was mixed with sauce on the bottom, the fish was mixed with sauce on the top, and the rice was placed aside separately with the furikake seasoning. The fish came in medium sized chunks, was fresh, and not chewy - good quality. Vegetables were okay - I think the vegetable selections at other poke places go together better. By the proportions and the layout, I felt more like I was eating sashimi on top of an iceberg lettuce salad with rice on the side. The wasabi mayo was also okay, but it didn't seem like a great standalone sauce. I would have preferred the mayo to be richer and the wasabi to a bit stronger. Next time, I'd mix in one of their other sauces to give the bowl a fuller flavor. Portion size is great though - I'd say that Circle Poke serves one of the bigger "large" bowls around the Atlanta area. Verdict: Good portion size and a much needed food option for the West Midtown/Georgia Tech area. While the vegetables and sauces are tastier at other poke restaurants, the fish quality is very good and the free covered parking is a plus. I would recommend if you live/work in the area. read more

I live nearby and finally tried Circle Poke recently, having now come back two more times since. Every time I've ordered a vegetarian option (no fish); the ingredients have been fresh, and the portions very generous. The customer service is great as well - everyone is super friendly and helpful. The bowls have been delicious, and it's even evident that the workers put a lot of 'TLC' into how they construct each bowl. The only downside so far - the offerings are a bit confusing for vegetarian/vegan options. There is a "Vegan Salad" on the menu, which comes with all of the veggies, and some add-ons, in a bowl of greens; there is also the option to get a standard bowl, just with tofu as the protein. Unfortunately, that means things like avocado are charged as an add-on, which isn't the case with the salad. It ends up as a confusing exchange and different charge each time. If they can make the vegetarian option(s) a bit more clear and consistent, I would bump this up to 5 stars; it's great to have something in the neighborhood that's fresher and healthier than some of the other local spots, as well as more affordable. read more

Amazing attention to detail by all staff and owners while preparing your order. Consistently served with fresh ingredients and great service. read more

Hands down my fav poke place in the city. Normally get the Volcano Bowl. Only place where I've seen them blowtorch your food to get it extra crispy. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Always been a huge sushi fan. I was ecstatic when first coming across this place. I was intrigued instantly upon walking in this establishment. I could tell by the decorum of the newness and cleanliness of the restaurant. Fresh and healthy ingredients were in clear sight. Now when it comes to the menu, you are given a choice of either rice or salad along with an assortment of proteins. Quick and great service included. Certainly plan on making another trip here soon. read more

Unfortunately I used to love this place but now their unsafe, unsanitary practices will keep me away. Communal unsanitized pens must be used to order. They refuse to take an order verbally. I would imagine this practice would also fall afoul of the ADA compliance as well. I won't be back. read more

The food is decent quality, but AWFUL value for your money. They stingily dole out a few small pieces of fish per serving. They don't even fill up the tiny little scooper they use for the fish. $13 and leaving just as hungry as when I got there? Never again. Atlanta has much better poke places. read more

90% of the time this place is on point and I make it point of my weekly eating routine. There are usually two sushi chef guys that appear to run the place and they always are super nice and provide exceptional quality and service. However, the other 10% of the time it's a different experience. They have apparently hired some young girls that sometimes work without the supervision of the sushi chefs and I'm not sure they are properly prepping the food and cleaning up after themselves. Last couple of times I went, these girls were working and I got a very sore stomach that led to me being a little sick after. Beware of this particular staff.... Whenever I go And they are working, I turn around and eat somewhere else now. Good luck read more

I have to give this place a well deserved 5 Star rating! I go to Atlanta at least once a week and I always find myself in the area so it is a must to stop by and have Poke. The owner is super nice and very accommodating of my choices. Place is clean, they take pride in maintaining a welcoming ambiance, and it shows... Poke menu is very much your typical place with a variety of fresh ingredients. Prices are VERY affordable, considering you end up paying $14 in most places. Bowls start at less than $9 for 2 protein choices. Point is, prices are better than most I have been to. Only issue here is probably parking, you have to park in the back but so far it hasn't been a problem for me getting a parking spot. Only other issue is they NEVER have Mango and I really love it with Poke, plus they have it listed as a topping. So please get Mangoes read more

I usually go to Poke City for poke, but I think Circle Poke will be my new go-to place. Food: I got their house tuna and salmon poke bowl, which was quite good. I definitely like their seasoned sushi rice over Poke City's plain white rice. Try their fumi furikake topping, it's delicious. Also I like their ponzu sauce more than Poke City's. It tasted more citrusy, almost like oranges. They don't premix your protein and veggies like they do at Poke City. Pricing: The prices were similar to Poke City but slightly more expensive. It costs $8.95 for a small make-your-own bowl. The tuna and salmon bowl was $9.95, but it has avocado. At Poke City, they also charge you $1 for avocado. However, you seem to get slightly less protein at Circle Poke. Also, masago costs $0.50 as an add-on, and seaweed salad is extra too, while they're both free at Poke City. Seating: Seating is very limited. I think I counted about 20 total. Parking: There is free garage parking next door. read more

Circle Poke - I had been waiting for this spot to open, and now it fonally has and I finally got to hit it up. Poke bowl was on point! - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Stopped in for a quick bite and to check out this new poke spot, and I have to say it was delicious. The guy that handled my bowl was very friendly, and took the time (but not too slow), to make my bowl look pretty. They were not stingy with their ingredients either, which is always a plus. I ordered their spicy tuna poke bowl with brown rice and really enjoyed it. They have a good amount of seating inside as well as some outdoor seating. I will most likely will be back again for lunch sometime. read more

Circle Poke - Poke Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Poké is definitely one of the food trends that has landed on Atlanta to almost be needing to be reported to the CDC for how fast it's spread. That being said, amidst all the poké joints that are sprouting up in every corner of the metro area, for every good place you find, there are like three that are either overpriced, questionable in quality, completely forgettable or all of the above. At the glowing recommendation of a friend, we went to Circle Poke, with claims that it was definitely one of the ones and not one of the threes. Circle Poke is located at pretty much the corner of 10th and Northside Drive, right at the edge of Georgia Tech grounds. It's on the ground level of a mixed-use apartment complex, and it's right next to a Jimmy John's and a Five Guys; needless to say, it's a hard sell to get me to go to any place next to a Five Guys without choosing to go the Five Guys instead. There is some free parking available on in the parking garage attached to the complex, but be sure to stay within the spots labeled for retail, or know someone who lives there to vouch for you. The interior is small, but clean and well-lit. Maybe 15-20 people could dine inside tops. The staff is friendly and eager to serve, and there are little things like how consistent the proteins and veggies are chopped that show a lot of care and attention go into their food prep. Ordering can be done a la carte in which you choose your base/rice, proteins, and a variety of add-ons, but because I don't like to think too hard about making the perfect mixture, I opted to go with one of their signature combinations Circle House Poke, which was a combination of tuna, spicy tuna and crab salad, on top of (brown) rice. At first, I thought $13.99 was a little high, but when I saw how much protein went into it with stuff like avocados and the sheer size of the portion, I think it was definitely reasonably priced, for what I got. There are cheaper options available, and it's all about mixing and matching to find what you like for how much you want to pay. Again, watching them assemble the order, it's clear there is a lot of care and attention that goes into it. Even for what looks like a glorified bowl, they're very meticulous about separating things and making sure sauces aren't mixing and things that shouldn't be touching aren't and so forth. And as a whole, everything tasted fantastic. The tuna wasn't fishy, the spicy tuna had some really delayed heat that kicks in late. The seaweed in the salad didn't feel slimy or have that odd consistency, and the lettuce or avocado had no hints of brown anywhere. There are many poke joints that have opened up throughout the city that fall into one or more of these particular demerits, but Circle Poke avoids them all. Overall, I have nothing negative to say or any reasons to give them anything other than a five. The location is centralized and easy to get to, free parking near the heart of the city, a clean relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and superb quality food for a fair price. In an ever-growing crowd of competition in the Poke race, Circle Poke stands out, and I highly recommend them to anyone who already likes Poke, or wants to get into Poke and needs to have some high quality product to get their feet wet with. read more

Tried this place the other day and it was good! We went on a Saturday night and there were a few people that came in and out while we were there but definitely not packed yet. The offerings are pretty standard except for the fact that you pay extra for some toppings (seaweed salad, masago, crab salad, etc.) The original menu said these were each $1 extra but they had since reduced this to 50 cents each. The guy that prepared our bowls was super friendly and gave suggestions and also gave us small bowls of the miso soup to taste on the house (it was average). I had a small bowl with half brown rice and half salad mix. I had salmon and spicy tuna and my fish with a mix of ponzu and the wasabi dressing. It was really tasty and fresh. Overall the food was very good, I just think the value isn't as good as other poke places because they charge extra for those toppings. I'm definitely glad to have one so close in the neighborhood though! read more

This place is really cute! It's clean and the decor is really nice. The owner makes each meal with such love and care (versus other chain places that just rushes through your order). It's a little on the pricey side but it's worth it for the quality of the food. Parking is easy (there's a lot behind the place). read more

Best poke in atl, decent prices too. I live nearby and go there at least once a week. The rice is great and the fish is fresh!!

Love sushi but this was my first Poke Bowl....aaaaamazing!! My daughter made her own bowl and I had the spicy tuna. We loved it! Presentation was beautiful, perfect proportions, and spot on unique combination of ingredients! Unbelievable value as I honestly considered contacting the owner to tell him to increase his pricing. Clean environment and friendly service. This would be on our regular 'eats' if I lived in Atlanta for sure!! Can't wait to return for more:) read more

Delicious poke, fast service, clean environment, generous portion! 10/10! Will definitely be back!

Me and the wife stopped here on a road trip and didn't really know what to expect, but let me tell you this is the best poké that has ever graced my lips. The freshest fish this side of the globe and every grain of rice is like god himself hand-stitched it. They cater to your every whim and request. The vegetables are always fresh and the people who work there are always nice and ready to serve you. The restaurant isn't that spacious but is very clean and trash always is handled. The outside area of the restaurant is very nice to sit at in the summer and enjoy some great poké! We love the entire crew and they even give you a poké card that after ordering enough bowls they give you a free medium bowl. Love this place and what more could you want ! read more

Service was really kind and excellent. That's about it. Prices are higher than other poke places nearby, and seaweed salad, masago or crab was extra; not typical of other poke places in the area. The sauce selection was minimal and the proportions of rice to everything else was not right, wayyyy too much rice. I will definitely not be coming back here when there's lots of other options that are better poke for lower prices read more

I love this place so much and the staff is so friendly. I like the option of creating my very own bowl where I get to choose my vegetables and proteins. Their sauces also taste amazing and they taste different in the better sense than other places. The owners also allow you to bring your own Tupperware containers which is great because this allows me to practice the zero waste life a bit more. I now have a set of Tupperware dedicated to this place now. read more

Food was phenomenal service was good and the price is crazy. I would reconnect this place to anyone who loves poke. Also the atmosphere was super clean I would definitely be back read more
