Hello Poke Stl - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I just wanted some chicken, rice and vegetables, so this met that need. It was OK for a kind of healthy option. Chicken was cubed, so eh...

This is the first restaurant I tried at the Foundry and it was worth it! It's located in the middle of the Foundry and seems like a great healthy option compared to the surrounding restaurants. I customized my own bowl with ahi tuna, white rice, and different toppings and sauces, which were delicious together! The price was reasonable and the employee was efficient despite the line on a Saturday evening. I'll recommend this place to my friends and family and will be coming back myself (hopefully sooner than later)! read more

Hello Poke Stl - Customized Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I've been here a few times, and I thought it was a decent place at the Foundry Food Hall. It's quick, fresh, and tasty. However, on my most recent visit, I was incredibly disappointed by the experience. These bowls are not cheap, and for two scoops of protein, you will be paying over $18 plus a little more included tax. The girl who took my order was literally scraping the bottom of each container that held the proteins and toppings I ordered, and some "scoops" I got were a joke. When she was about to cover the bowl, I could see that it was almost half empty, and I had asked for various toppings too. Service was also poor. She kept asking me to repeat what I wanted while she was scraping the bottom of the containers, and it was just an awkward experience overall. After paying, I got my bowl and felt that it was super light. In the past, I was pretty satisfied with the portion size, but this time was utterly disappointing. Please refill your containers if they are empty. This was not worth more than $18. Needless to say, I am not sure if I will be back now. read more

Saw some other people with poke when visiting the foundry and decided to get my dinner here! The staff was very kind and made my bowl quickly (which turned out amazing). I did love the fact that there was a vegan protein option, but the sauces are not labeled for allergens/dietary restrictions. I asked the staff if certain sauces had meat products in them and they were not sure. They offered to check the recipe, but there was a line and I felt bad asking so played it safe and got a sauce I knew the typical ingredients of. Would love to see more labeling on the menu to make allergens, diet restrictions, and other needs a little easier. read more

Hello Poke Stl - Tofu bowl - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

It's a poke place. So, if you haven't had poke, you need to check the food out. It's a variety of protein, usually raw fish, served over rice with a selection of sauces and veggies to match your custom order. But that having been said, it's a standard run of one of this style of food, and doesn't remarkably set itself apart. I've had better and worse, and this place isn't bad... just unremarkable. It fills a need. read more

I love me some poke! So when I saw that the food hall at the City Foundry had one, I knew I had to try it out during my visit. My spouse and I arrived around lunch time on a weekday, so the line was decently long, about 8 people in front of me, but it moved pretty fast. The employees were very friendly and worked efficiently. I got a large bowl, which may be misleading, because the various bowls (regular, large, and hangry) are all the same bowl size. The only difference is the number of scoops of protein. I believe scoops are one, two, and three, respectively. The poke bowl was on the pricier side in comparison to the price, but I totally understand that rent at a new space like the City Foundry is probably pretty expensive, so I could get over the price. What I couldn't get over was the rice and the two scoops of salmon I got. The rice was hard and the salmon just seemed mediocre in quality. These are the two bases of a poke bowl, the rice and the protein, and I feel like Hello Poke unfortunately missed the mark. The other sides were good, but I felt like a lot of the toppings were "extra". Also I didn't see a wasabi topping for some reason. A pass for me on my next visit, but hopefully these are just some kinks that need to be worked out. read more

I don't know why this only has 3.8 stars. Just got a bowl from here and the fish was delicious, the rice was perfect, the sauces were amazing and unique. I would definitely eat here again ! read more

Good fresh ingredients and generous amounts in the bowl. I was hungry and didn't eat all of the bowl. Had poke tuna and shrimp and was pleased with the service, quality and taste. read more

Food was AMAZING! For a relatively decent price (~$20) you get this huge bowl that easily feeds two people! The salmon is some of the freshest that I've had, and the rest of the ingredients are incredible and compliment the fish so well! Service and ambiance were incredible, as the servers made sure that you had all of the things that you loved in your bowl, and that you enjoyed the way that it was being made. Will definitely be coming back here again soon! read more

Hello Poke Stl - Hangry bowl (white rice, salmon, cucumber, green onion, sweet onion, furikake, spicy mayo, eel sauce, onion crisps) - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I've eaten here two times. Both experiences good; however, it's worth noting that my second experience was better than the first. This is because the amount of toppings you get can fluctuate depending on who's serving you. The first time, I didn't get much fish even though I ordered the large portion. This wasn't ideal considering it's about $24 after tip (20% tip and I added seaweed salad which was an additional charge). The second time, the fish and toppings were notably more generous! I appreciated this because the large portion was filling (as expected). The ingredients are fresh, sauces are good, and selection is nice. But I wish the serving size didn't fluctuate. read more

First time trying out hello poke, I wasn't impressed. I had the salmon poke bowl with lettuce, seasoning, cucumber and spicy mayo. This was the most bland poke bowl I have ever had, maybe it was based on my own toppings selections. I felt rushed during the ordering process, and I didn't have time to closely select my toppings considering it was my first time there. read more

Ate here while on a work outing at the foundry and it was just okay. Im not the biggest fish girl, but I got the teriyaki bowl and it was pretty dry and plain. I've definitely had better elsewhere, but then again I wasn't getting what they are known for. They were quick to make the found though so that was nice! read more

The guy behind the counter did it up right! He loaded us up with hearty bowls and made us laugh while we waited. The tuna was good quality and the veggies all seemed super fresh. Got some matcha mochi to finish it off. Perfect addition to the foundry food court. They really have it all! read more

Hello Poke Stl - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I ordered the double protein bowl with tofu and salmon. Fish was pretty fresh. Not a whole bunch of toppings. Guy doused my bowl in sauce so it was super salty and soggy. At the end I asked for seaweed topping and he replied that I already had seaweed in my bowl. Yeah I had the wet seaweed salad but that's not the same as the dried seaweed. Like just put it on my bowl man, it's not that serious. read more

Everything tasted fresh, but the rice was too fresh - it literally just came out of a rice cooker, so it was warm rice with everything else which really brought the taste down. They were busy, but you'd think you'd have enough backup rice to avoid having to dish out warm rice to people. read more

Hello Poke Stl - Hangry bowl: White rice w/ tuna, salmon, eel sauce, edamame, mango, green onions, and fried onions. - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Stopped here for lunch today, it was my first time at the Foundry and honestly my first time trying a Poke bowl. I love sushi so I was expecting to love this. It didn't disappoint. I went for a lighter bowl and used mixed salad greens as my base. I got shrimp and salmon, a variety of fresh toppings. I asked the nice lady working for recommendations on sauces, she hooked me up. Super happy with my lunch, service was great, and the venue of the foundry was so unique. Would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

While perusing Facebook I came across The-Stl post about the City Foundry food hall. Being foodies my husband and I made it an immediate destination. We love the foundry roots in the architectural touches. Once inside we frankly beelined for Hello Poke. We love poke and we love vacationing to Hawaii. We are absolutely delighted with the price point, the quality of their fish, tasty sauces and toppings as well as the excellent service. We enjoyed a beer from The Kitchen bar as we savored the poke. Delighted to have this as a great food destination. read more

If you want a QUALITY poke bowl, please come here!! The salmon and ahi tuna are superb and the other available ingredients are fresh and taste great! I especially love that they will mix everything in your chosen sauce before topping it onto the rice. I have had poke at several other places and can definitely say Hello Poke is my favorite. With the Foundry being brand new and just under two weeks since opening, this place is BUSY and most of the booths have extremely long lines or occasionally run out of items until they can prep more. They are all working so hard to keep up with the demand despite also having few hands to run them. Please be patient with the teams running each booth, they are doing the absolute best they can! read more

Hello Poke Stl - White rice, ahi tuna, cucumbers, edamame, spicy mayo and shoyu sauce, topped with crab salad, crispy onions, avocado, and furikake. - Poke Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Extremely bland. Spicy mayo has no flavor. Portion size is tiny for the price. Would not recommend.

Very slow moving line. The portions are really small...there is no difference in bowl sizes, basically just how many scoops of fish you want in the small bowl. My bowl ended up being $19 and it was tiny. The worst part was I think I got mild food poisoning from the spicy tuna. I don't recommend. read more

I am a big Poke Bowl fan, and was happy to see a new place to try added to the food hall at The Foundry. Unfortunately my excitement was quickly reduced when I saw how limited the menu was. I ordered, then before my first bite, disappointment set in. The rice was so gluey that as I tried to stir it together, I broke my fork. Once I started eating, it was just so uneven. The spicy topping was spicy, but the rest of everything was crazy bland. I wouldn't recommend giving this place a try at this point in time. Hopefully they made some adjustments in the future. read more

Excellent service! The employees are very accommodating, and the food was amazing! Will be returning!

Not the best poke I've had, but definitely not the worst. The big downside was that there was only one worker doing everything, and customers that, despite waiting in a long line before ordering, still didn't know what they wanted when it was finally their turn to order. (Ugh.) When I finally got to the front of the line, I told the worker that she was amazing that she was able to do everything by herself. She cracked a grateful smile. I ordered a large with ahi tuna and salmon, paid the extra $1 for the crab add-in, and didn't go too crazy with all the crunchies and veggies. Hello Poke didn't have as many choices as other poke places I've been to. No wonton noodles, no brown rice, no soba noodles, no pineapple. She mixed everything up with a gloved hand (and gloves were changed for each order) and placed it atop the white rice in the same sized bowl as a regular. Huh? With tip, my bowl was $21. So, a little pricey for me, particularly since other poke places I've been to don't charge extra for the shredded crab AND I didn't have any leftovers, when I usually do. Flavor was just okay. Poke Doke is a better choice. read more

I have never left a review ever before. So this is really something. Was excited about the foundry And more excited to try this place out. And the service .... was just .. wow. I came and read these reviews and was comforted knowing it didn't just happen to me. The one girl gave off the impression she was bothered by me ordering. That I was inconveniencing her... it was very confusing read more

I was excited when I saw there was a poke place at the foundry, but from that initial excitement my experience only went downhill. First off, the woman who helped me was really unpleasant and rude. Just based on looking at the options they have out, their tofu appeared to be fresh out of the box, unseasoned, unmarinated and uncooked. The shrimp is minced, which is honestly just so weird to me. Who does that. The mango obviously came out of a can, which is pretty nasty imo. The tuna didn't look like it was ever alive and they don't have any vinegar. The lack of vinegar really did them in for me. Eating plain rice and substandard fish and veggies really just isn't worth the $15 dollars they charge. I got salmon in my bowl and it was okay, but not great. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with self respect or prior experience eating actual poke; you will be disappointed and out $15-$20 bucks afterwards, depending on whether they have small bills to give you change if you pay in cash like we did. So basically; bad food, high prices, rude employees and no vinegar all add up to a place I won't be returning to. Tighten up, hello poke. read more

food was pretty good. the portions were a little small but not really too bad for the price. however, the staff member who helped us was really really rude and honestly almost made me cry. she seemed to act overly inconvenienced and mad because i wanted to order. as someone who works in food and does something similar to her, i totally understand getting upset or being off, because i have been there too. however, especially given how overly nice i was being to compensate, she continued to be rude. i don't want her to get fired or lose her pay in any way, she doesn't deserve to lose her money or her livelihood, but honestly it's just bad for business to have an emplacements like that. to her, i hope your day got better, i'm sorry about whatever made you that upset. read more

i'm a vendor at the pride market at the city foundry and my wife and i were SO excited to try this poke place! i wish the menu/service was a little more comprehensive in terms of ordering but i have anxiety so i of course looked at the menu before going lol. we absolutely loved their poke! will definitely be getting it again and coming back to the foundry just to have a poke date. i also wish that we would've had just a smidge more rice. i absolutely loved that they mixed your protein, sauces and toppings together whereas other poke places just kind of throw everything on top. the person making our bowls was so kind and asked if we wanted toppings mixed in or on the side- so thoughtful! if you're looking for good poke at a super awesome location stop by hello poke :) read more

What a great place. The Poke bowl was fresh and good portions. The tuna was good including all the mix ins and sauces. Will be back for more yum read more

I was super excited to try the new poke place at City Foundry and they did not disappoint! I got the salmon bowl, my go-to for poke, and it was everything I would expect a quality bowl to be! Everything was fresh and so tasty, especially with the furikake seasoning on top! I will be going back! read more

I wanted to really like them, as a new offering in a new venue. Unfortunately I was disappointed. At only 5 pm on Saturday they were already out of several choices. Taking and processing orders was slow, resulting in a slow moving line. And the portions are small--it's almost comical to see them work to fish out just a few pieces of the various choices for ingredients. A number of things that still need to be worked out--hopefully they will improve as they get more experience, but for now I won't be in a rush to return. read more
