Unexpectedly excellent poke place! Looks like any other fast casual bowl place, but the quality of the food is very high. I think the secret is the fish already being flavored and marinated. The service was really great--super friendly and helpful staff! We were not expecting such a gem! read more

This restaurant is overblown-spends seemingly more money on tech and advertising than on their food. The poke is strange- they leave on the brown parts of the salmon which I honestly have never seen before in poke or sushi. Their sauces are not explained in their menu very well, and was honestly kinda bland. The fish was unfresh; I specifically tasted that characteristic slightly off ammonia taste on my salmon order. The tofu pockets are overpriced and kinda small for 5 dollars each. Variety was super low and choices are few. Honestly deserves a 3 but I'm putting a 2 because of my bad experience and over marketing my expectations-their rating should not be this high they are not that good. read more

My favorite poke restaurant! I come here with my mom all the time. It's on the pricier side, but I PROMISE, it's worth it! The fish is always so good! I love to get the Lei'd tuna and the Shoyu tuna. The flavors are so good and I love all the toppings. Sometimes, I will get the crispy wonton chips and pour all the poke over it. Then, you have poke nachos. Service is very good and quick. Employees are very nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's never too crowded and the restaurant has an online ordering station as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try it out! read more

NEVER WRITE REVIEWS, BUT THE WORKERS NEED TO GET LEI'D.. LEI'D OFF. Came in Saturday evening and an asian dude with glasses took my order. I ordered a bowl with two proteins and it looked like they were rationing for the apocalypse. Barely one scoop, if that. The ponzu spilled all over the bag like they'd never heard of a lid. No utensils or napkins. My sister and I had an ACTUAL SWAMP of spicy mayo at the bottom of our bowls after our meal. I work at a poke place and am genuinely horrified by the embarrassingly small portion. Disgusting. Absolute joke of a place. Wish I was making this up but poor quality seems to be a chain wide issue. Unreal. read more

Love how there are so many protein options to choose from here! Ingredients are fresh, they don't skimp on their scoops of protein/toppings, and the price is reasonable. Ordering could take awhile as you order on the iPad, so have some patience as some customers may take awhile to do this. When I come to Lei'd Poke, I usually get a regular bowl (two scoops of protein) with white sushi rice, citrus yuzu salmon, Sriracha aioli tuna, jalapeños, green onions, cucumber salad, seaweed salad, and tempura flakes. So good! While you wait for your bowl to be made, head over to Teas'N You (one of their sister restaurants) for some bubble tea to wash down your poke. read more

Lei'd Island Kitchen - My bowl. - Hawaiian Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I've probably gotten food from here at least a dozen times, and each time, the food has been fresh and tasty. I went today after receiving an email about how they added new items to their menu... but ironically enough, I only noticed that they took stuff away. I haven't been here in a few months, but I see that: 1. They raised their prices (a regular bowl used to be around $12-13, now it's $15-16) 2. They got rid of their "kids' size" portion 3. They got rid of musubi 4. Their ToastTab online order menu no longer has descriptions of the items (I don't remember what sort of sauces "Get Lei'd" or "Sea Salt Limu" is off the top of my head; it'd be nice to have a description in the menu item, which they used to. Not sure why they got rid of descriptions) 5. Their regular bowls seem smaller, now smaller than my hand! And i have small hands! #5 might not be an actual change, as it's possible I just never realized how small it was before... but in the light of 20%+ price increases, the size is more noticeable. Today is also the first time the food doesn't seem fresh. I know tuna oxidizes quickly, so the gray coloring in the photo doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but it still looks highly unappetizing. Not sure if this is the "sea salt limu" tuna or the spicy sriracha tuna (I got both in my bowl), but either way, I'm surprised a poke restaurant doesn't have the CO "gassing" technology to keep tuna looking fresh. I think the gray coloring, the menu deletions, and the high price increases make me rate this place 3 stars, even though it used to be a 5 in my book. They do have more options than other poke places in the area, but nonetheless, I can (and will) make it at home from now on. read more

Haven't been here in a while, always really good in the past. Was kinda in a hurry and had a couple minutes to grab a poke bowl. Came in and noticed they had the touch screens to order. I asked the worker behind the counter if I could just order from him. He said unfortunately no I had to order on the touchscreen. I started tapping through and realized it would take about 5 minutes to get through the customization of a simple poke bowl. I left in disappointment. read more

I got my Uber eats order. Everything was correct and tasted good. There are other poke places that offer more add in options. There was plenty of fish which was nice. I think the order thing was kind of a scam. They advertised this MEGA bowl ($43 value) free with $20 purchase so I got that. Reality was I got a small $20 bowl and a free large bowl. It definitely isn't a $43 value. My total was still a wopping $45 with the high taxes and fees due to this inflated estimated value. read more

Ordered delivery from UberEats a couple of times and loved the poke bowls every time. Limu tuna is a good flavor. Will definitely be ordering delivery more. read more

Conclusion: only place that has ever made me order a second bowl in a single sitting. It was good. I was glad I finally came here to try this place. Delicious. A bit slow in making the dish, but they are making a good bowl of food and it was piled on. I didn't feel like I was cheated on the dish because the amount of food was good. The flavor has it going for it and I can see why this place has a lot of good ratings. If you're in the area, it's a good try. They are owned by the same group as the other high rated places in the area. They all have their own unique spin. read more

Located in a little shopping complex between the mall and the Marriott. Parking was plentiful for a Saturday lunch time with open seating inside the restaurant. You order off a tablet located right in front of where they are preparing the bowls so they can easily accessible if you have any questions. The portions and hearty and the sauces were on point. The taro chips and fresh avocado smash were perfect compliments to the bowl. The extra chips are tasty topped with and dipped in to the bowl. Overall wonderful experience, priced just above average (after all the additions was a $20 bowl), hearty portions, and fast friendly smiling service! Highly recommend and enjoy! read more

This was a legit place to eat Poké in Nova!!!! My favorite thing about this place was the Poké nachos they have here. The chips are very good and make all difference. It's almost like a wonton chip type of things, it's very flaky and crisp and you can tell they it make it fresh. Another really cool thing about is they give you a lot of food. You're definitely not gonna leave this place hungry. I like the vibe in the restaurant, right on Leesburg so it's convenient and the workers do a good job. The flavors were ok, I'll be honest I wasn't in love with any of the sauces I've tried but the fish is very very fresh and really good. Solid choice if you're in the area read more

Poke ~ it's what's for lunch! My son adores this place and prefers it over our 2 min away Poke spot in The Block (shhhhh don't tell them lol), granted this is only 10 minutes away it's not a big deal at all when you're going for what you love. They are part of the Happy Endings Hospitality Group which also owns Roll Play, Tea's n You, & Chasin' Tails. Such a great group & love their fun play on their names. I enjoyed the many different options on my "make your own bowl" that I was like a kid in a Poke candy shop hahaha. Their bowls are delicious & more traditional to what Poke should be and I love the sushi rice option. They also have nachos, which we have not tried... yet! ;) Great food & great service! read more

I normally really enjoy coming to Lei'd, but my past few orders with them have been a bit disappointing. I placed a pick up order about 1-2 weeks ago, everything was fine except that they forgot my drink and I didn't realize until I was at home. Thankfully, they refunded me for my drink. With my most recent visit, also a pick up order, I made sure to double check that my drink was in the bag, but unfortunately I wouldn't realize until I got home that the side avocado smash I ordered was not in the bag and that the taro chips that came with it were in the bag, were stale and soggy. A huge letdown for a meal you were looking forward to eating. I called the restaurant and the woman who I had spoken with said that she would refund me, but I've yet to receive that. I of course can understand forgetting things every once and awhile, I just wish they had a better habit of double checking their orders and not charging people for items they didn't receive. read more

I came for the sushi bake, but now they only have a poke bowl line up like a chipotle and you order at the kiosk. I could be wrong but it wasn't shown on the screens or their paper menus but they don't sell sushi bakes anymore. Petition to bring it back! The bowl I got was nicely packed however, and they give you up to 7 options for adding stuff besides the rice and protein. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a lot of seating which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

You order here on a touch screen. The poke bowl was good, what you would expect. They have a lot of free toppings but they were out of masago and the crab salad was an additional charge. The dining area was a bit messy and seemed like it needed more frequent cleanings. There were also extra chairs and things stacked around that made the dining area less inviting. There is a small parking lot out front which makes it convenient to visit here. read more

We went around 7:15pm on a Sunday and they were out of all rice and noodle bases so we were left with salad or nachos. Apparently they ran out and it was too close to closing time to make more. Then we found out they were out of several options of seasoned salmon and tuna. When it got time to pick toppings, they were also out of at least 4 items... we should have just left but had already committed at this point. When they started constructing this sad bowl, we stared in confusion as they started scooping everything with gloved hands. No spoon, no tongs... just hands, including the fish. At least they replaced the soiled glove after each scoop, but how wasteful. They probably went through 4 pairs of gloves for one large bowl. Although they wore gloves, it was pretty gross to watch. The portions were also pretty stingy as some other reviewers have commented on. What a disappointment! read more

You can add multiple toppings and sauces to your bowl. I did a mobile order, and the order was quickly prepared. The salmon portions are a little small compared to the amount of rice and toppings there are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are multiple tables inside for dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tried ordering from this restaurant off of uber eats and was confused why they were pricing everything so high only to make it 50% off.... Poke bowls are priced at $40 but you get a discount to make it $20 and get a free ($40 value) bowl. Got to checkout and realized why- the service fee is a percentage of your total before discounts, I understood why they are pricing all of their items 2x. Made me not want to order from them as this is deceiving read more

Utilizing a Yelp Elite discount on the new baked bowl, I ordered the Salomón bake w/o siracha curbside pick up on a rainy day. Ordering was super easy. They texted directions about pickup. Could not have been easier. They also texted when it was ready. Pickup was fast. He was wearing a mask when he handed me my bag. The food was warm and smelled good. The bag was heavy! It also came with a plastic fork although website said it would not unless you asked. The portion was generous. (This will be more than one meal for me!). The food itself was delicious. Lots of flavor. Good ratio of ingredients. And ingredients evenly spread out. Lots of salmon. I will definitely come back. read more

My wife's favorite poke place in Northern Virginia. Situated close to the side entrance of Tysons Corner Mall, sits Lei'd Poke. It belongs to the happy eatery food group and is tucked away on the side of a small shopping/business center. The store itself is relatively small with one main order counter and seating for up to about ~25-30. The selection is extremely expansive and the fish tasted very fresh. The price is albeit a little on the higher end but they do not skimp on portion. The bowl was absolutely packed and more than enough to fill you up for a meal. There were many different options for fish marinade (as well as an option for no marinade) which gave way to many potential flavor combinations. Overall a great place for a poke bowl day or night. read more

My assessment? SOO GOOD. I walked into a clean establishment with friendly staff, and a good variety of fish and toppings. What more could you ask for? Actually, I have that answer. Generous portion! And this place didn't disappoint. I had a hard time finishing my large bowl because it was a lot. This is also the only Poke place I've been too that offers fresh wonton style chips as a base. They're soooo light and crispy! Loved those. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're nearby. read more

Stopped by for the first time today to try out their new poke bakes and I was not disappointed! Lei'd is currently only doing pick-up, curbside pick-up, and delivery. There are currently no dine in orders. When you first walk in, you will be directed to an order Kiosk. You can also order online ahead of time on the Toast app. I ordered the salmon poke bake thanks to Yelp and this was a hefty meal. For $16.50, you get a LOAD of salmon and crab and toppings on top of a bed of their sushi rice. I only managed to eat half of the box during lunch so it's definitely a filling meal. These are new to the fall menu and quite delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it is served hot. The salmon is also cooked in this poke bake so it's a great option if you're not a fan of eating raw fish. It is a pretty delicious box, but I almost wish there was something acidic to cut through the heaviness. It was also slightly over salted. Nevertheless, this was cool dish to try and I can't wait to return to try the California poke bake or their regular poke that everyone raves about! read more

I am sad to even be writing this review. This used to be my favorite poke place (as you can see from my previous review), but now I'm not sure that I will come back. Everything that made this poke place unique from all the other options now seems to be gone. I understand that COVID has had a huge impact on restaurants, but I used to go out of my way to travel here and now I will just go to the place down the street. What has changed? - Prices have risen for less food, 2 bowls without any extras is now $32. - You used to get unlimited toppings and there were so many more options of toppings/sauces. Now you are limited to a certain amount and there are way less options. Several things now have an upcharge. - There is no longer a kids option that has 1 choice of fish - The regular option they have is much smaller than it used to be. It's probably actually the kids bowl size that they used to use. - No more musubi or Hawaiian sun drinks - You order at a machine instead of with the people who are working. They used these machines during COVID, so I get that they should continue using them, especially as it allows them to make orders faster, but I noticed the other recent reviews mention how this makes it less personal and I can see that. - 4.5% restaurant recovery charge added. They have a sign in all their locations with a QR code to view a letter from the CEO, but the link doesn't work. They must have taken the letter off their website. I completely understand the need for this but the higher prices, this charge and less options with less food make me not want to drive out of my way to get here. This is really sad. This was our favorite poke place. read more

I really did not like the poke I got here. 1. Food: taste was decent but so little tuna or actual protein and way too much chips and wasn't an actual meal especially considering I paid $17. 2. Service: pleasant and fast. 3. Order process: Hated I had to touch their device instead of just telling the person what I wanna order. Also, the ordering process was so complicated. I think it will be so easy for people who has eaten there a lot and know what they want but very unfriendly for people who never had to use their device to order. It also adds things I didn't want to get and was very unintuitive and made me quite irritated. read more

I recently participated in the Yelp Elite event for a discount on Lei'd's new poke bake. First things first, this is one of my go-to poke spots in Northern Virginia. Great selection of proteins, toppings, rice and greens bases--basically everything you could ask for. And I'll usually also grab a sweet treat or a boba at Teas N You in the same shopping center. So for me, the Yelp Event was a chance to try a new dish at a place I already really like. The poke bake is a great option for people who aren't eating raw fish but want something with the poke spirit. It was a very generously sized portion of rice topped with baked fish (I got spicy tuna) and furikake, nori, tempura crunchies, and creamy sauce drizzles. The tuna was totally cooked, so more like canned tuna consistency than seared/raw. I love the poke, so that's going to remain my go-to dish. I applaud Lei'd for introducing a new, cooked option. I will definitely try the other baked options in the future. Also the Mac salad and butter mochi sound delightful, so those are on my list for future orders, too. read more

Lei'd continues to impress! Tried their latest concoctions...poke bake. Covid times: order using toast site for curbside pickup or delivery. You park in front and call them when you get there to let them know along with your car make, model, and color. It's pretty organized and quick though the phone directory takes a while to listen through. I was little bit like omg because I was so hungry...if you're there for curbside pickup, skip ahead with "3." You're welcome! What did I get? The spicy tuna poke bake and added an extra scoop of salmon. I also couldn't resist and got the coconut dessert. I was looking for musubi but they were out. I was happy to try out something new though and to support them since I was already headed there. Verdict: Full of flavor and great portions for the price. I'll be honest that it's been a while since I've been to Lei'd after covid hit. A mix of being very careful and just work being super busy. I've been venturing out more and I'm reminded to come here more! The bake was great though I might be more of a regular poke bowl kind of girl in general. The coconut desserr was tasty too. It has a solid mochi texture and very much has coconut taste with the shreds. It was fun to try. read more

Lei'd Poke knocked my first experience with them out of the park! I ordered their new menu item: the salmon poke bake. The poke bake is phenomenal and an excellent option for anyone who might not like raw fish or if you just want a comforting, warm meal! I ordered the entree as is, without substitutions, and it was delightful. A few others said the poke bowl is light so I also ordered the miso soup as I was very hungry. Turns out the poke bake was more than enough, it was honestly quite filling. Final thoughts: I appreciated the option for curbside pickup. I just had to call and announce my arrival then an employee (who was appropriately masked and gloved) promptly brought my order out to me. read more

I've driven by this location several times but never realized how great this bowl of poke would be. Food 4.5/5 - I think the baby bowl is really quite filling and with the half and half with Nacho Chips and the rice, it has a great difference texture that made it all the more delightful. I was satisfied with how much protein (tuna - get lei'd) it provided too. Their macaroni salad I would rate a 4. Service 4/5 - The curbside was pretty seamless, but when they tell you to mention if you need cutlery, they really mean it. You won't get forks or spoons otherwise. I will also note that the online menu is quite accessible and easy to figure out compared to menus where you're too overwhelmed with options. Cleanliness 4.5/5 - The place is only open for takeout and keeping themselves quite socially distanced. Ambiance 4/5 - A quick place for a meal. The way to exit is a bit inconvenient but the overall location is close to many places. read more

I first found this place at Smorgasburg pre-pandemic, and I fell in love. I went religiously. Traveled half an hour for, paid ridiculous amount of money to UberEats when I didn't want to make the trip. But then everything changed literally 10 minutes ago when I found out they revamped their menu. This quickly went from being the best poke place in NOVA, to just another poke place that exists selling basic dishes you can get wherever nowadays. They got rid of the items that made Lei'd stand out from the rest--wonton nachos and poke bakes. :( It's still good, but it's just another shop now. RIP, poke nachos. I loved you. read more

This was my first time trying Lei'd Poke and it was so yummy!!! I order the Spicy Tuna Bake and ate the whole thing by myself! They said that this can be shared with 2 people but that wasn't the case for me lol. I didn't know what to expect since I had poke before but not a baked one and it did not disappoint me! I told myself I would eat half of it and then I ate the whole thing lol...the flavors and the spiciness were perfect! They are located right off of route 7 next to Tyson's mall. They have surface parking and curb side pick up right in front of the their store. Ordering online was so easy and simple. When I pulled up, I called their phone number listed and they came right to my car to bring my order. They were friendly, helpful and courteous.

This review is for a special event. Participated in the yelp elite event hosted by Leid Poke. It was held to showcase their new warm poke bake. I ordered the Sriracha Shrimp bake with Sriracha aoli shrimp on layers of rice, nori and crab salad topped with mango, eel sauce, sriracha drizzle, furikaki, shredded nori and hot Cheetos. I also ordered a side of Hawaiian macaroni salad. I was a little disappointed in the bake, it seemed to be more rice and and not a lot of the toppings! They also left out the Hot Cheetos. The macaroni salad lacked flavor and was a small portion for the price. The saving grace for the meal was the bake, it was very flavorful. I will definitely give them another try, being that I've frequented Leid Poke before and was always happy with my meal. read more

I'm always a fan of food from the concepts of Happy Endings Hospitality. I've never had food from Lei'd Poke though until recently. Using a Yelp Elite discount, I ordered "The California" Bake, one of their poke bakes, without sriracha drizzle. "The California" Bake was well balanced and flavorful. The portion size was great considering the container was stuffed to the max. I even had enough leftover for the next day and simply popped it into my toaster. The ordering and pick-up system was easy to understand and complete. Since it is a concept of Happy Endings Hospitality, you can earn rewards with your order. Its location is convenient if you want to walk to the other side of the building for its sister store, Teas'n You, for some bubble tea to go with your meal. I've read reviews prior to COVID that stated parking could be extremely hard to get as it shares a limited amount of parking with a few other businesses. However, that doesn't seem to be a problem right now. read more

Tried their new poke bake! They were giving out a special offer for their poke bake so I wanted to try it. I just want to say that I believe their poke BOWLS are better and have a more authentic taste to it. However, you do get a lot in the poke bake. It's really filling. I was deciding between the Spicy Tuna and the Sriracha Shrimp. Ended up choosing the latter, and it was pretty ok! The portion size is average for the price point. The only thing I had a problem with is the saltiness of the poke bake, which makes it hard to eat it after a while. I wish they put a little bit more of the tuna but I understand about the profitability of raw fish. Just lay off the sauce and it'll be easier to eat. I would be willing to try the sriracha shrimp to see if there's a spicy flavor to it. I love Lei'd overall, and love their poke bowls. read more

Tried one of the Fall Warm Bowls. I wasn't sure I would like it, bc I don't like warm sushi, but it was really good. The eel sauce and sriracha gave the warm salmon great flavor. The base was rice, but then there was a layer of crab salad and nori below the salmon. It was very filling. The panko and nori on top gave it a nice crunch. If you crave sushi on a cold day, you should try it. It was little disappointing that they forgot to put the rice puffs on top, as their menu showed. Wonder if that would have added anything. Also not sure it's worth $16.50, but there was plenty of salmon and crab salad. Curbside pickup was easy and fast. read more
