    Spicy Johnny Utah with brown rice
    Natasha W.

    So far I have never had anything bad. My favorite dish is the Spicy Johnny Utah! Yum! The service has always been impeccable. The ingredients have always been fresh down to the last bite! I love it!

    Shio Ramen with shrimp. I paid extra for additional Chasu pork
    Davlon S.

    To my knowledge the Poke Bros location on Lincoln St is the only one where you can get Ramen. I had been here several times before for lunch with my co-workers (pre-pandemic) and we always enjoyed our meals. I came this time with my 2 teenage sons who had never had real Ramen before and they enjoyed it as much as I did. They both had the Miso Ramen with shrimp and devoured every bite of it. Highly recommended if you are in the mood for Ramen.

    Da Kine with avocado
    Jules B.

    Holy moly this place is amazing. I love ahi tuna so much, especially marinated ahi tuna, so I've been interested to try a poke bowl for awhile now and today I finally accomplished this goal! Poke Bros is located in 5 Points; it is set-up Chipotle / Moe's style where you walk through a line of pre-diced foods and choose what you would like added to your bowl. I decided to use one of their predetermined recipes to start mine -- I chose the Da Kine with a salad base and added avocado. On top of scooping marinated tuna, avocado, salad greens, seasoned seaweed, masago, and sweet onion, they add these delicious sauces to this dish as well that make it so juicy and flavorful. While a bit pricey for a casual lunch at $14 including tax, this was one of the most refreshing lunches I've ever had. The flavors worked together so well and every component tasted fresh. I'll definitely return.

    Toppings you can add to your bowl

    I was really excited when I first heard that this place was opening up. Columbia would finally be getting its first Poke restaurant! However, my initial visit yesterday kinda left me disappointed. First off, the restaurant is a little hard to find. It's in a random side street off Greene Street that is after Publico, but before Cellar on Greene. For parking, there was a lot of spots in the lot behind Cellar on Greene if the street meters are full. Once you get inside, the place is pretty small and since they are a go to restaurant, there are no tables and no public bathrooms. The Food: You can either create your own bowl or order one of their preset bowls. I created my own bowl and made a Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl with Cucumber, Sweet Onions, Green Onions, Tofu, Avocado, and Sriracha Aioli Sauce topped with Sesame Seeds, Tempera Flakes, and Crispy Onions. My friend got a vegetarian Poke Bowl with Tofu, Avocado, Carrots, Cucumbers, Pineapples, and Cashew Nuts. The bowls tasted good and the fish was fresh, but my problem with them is the small portion of your "protein" that they give you which is just one small tiny scoop. To compensate, they put a lot of rice into the bowl to make it look more full. Moreover, they charge for some toppings (e.g. seaweed and masago) that are usually free at other Poke places that I've been to. The service was fine and worked pretty quickly like an assembly line. If you aren't familiar with Poke, the employees are pretty nice about it. Overall, I think they place is worth a try if you like sushi since it's the only Poke restaurant in town, but they have a lot of room for improvement.

    The Duke with extra scoop of spicy salmon
    Anna L.

    I was super excited to hear a poke place was opening up in town, and Poke Bros did not disappoint. It's tucked in the back of a building, and parking was a little confusing, because there were a lot of reserved spots in the lot. I ordered the Duke with an extra scoop of spicy salmon. Total came out to be $17.xx, but I was more than happy to pay it, because fresh fish is not cheap in these parts. I got plenty of ingredients in my poke bowl and had plenty left over to make two meals out of one bowl. Service was super quick and friendly, and I'll definitely be back. Not sure if this location does punchcards, but if so, I missed my first punch I'll definitely be back, and I hope this place stays, because I love poke.

    Rating: 4.5/5. This awesome and affordable Poke Bross. opened in April 2017. I build my own $10 poké bowl with sushi-grade salmon, warm brown rice, vegetables (fresh avocado, etc.), crushed cashew nuts, sesame seeds, homemade OG and sweet soy sauces and +$.50 masago. This casual restaurant to go ran out of pineapple. The size portion was extremely generous: It was about one serving and a quarter of other poké places I tried. The $9.50 Johnny Utah was fine. The sriracha aioli was only slightly spicy. Due to this sauce, I will probably try another Poké bowl next time. The staff was efficient and friendly. There is no seating area in this to go place. The storefront is at a bottom of a building. The storefront is perpendicular to the main street. There is ample free or metered parking nearby.

    Build-your-own bowls on sushi rice with shrimp!

    Quick, fresh, and delicious! Poke Bros is one of my favorite spots in Columbia & Lexington. I've been many times and it has never disappointed - the staff is consistently friendly, the service is quick, and the poke bowls are always fresh. The location is clean and well-maintained - wish the Five Points spot had more seating! It's a great fast casual option in the build-your-own tradition. They offer a number of high-quality protein options, including chicken and tofu, if seafood isn't really your thing. I especially love the shrimp - it's always fresh, plump, and delicious. The spicy tuna and salmon are great, too! Various vegetable toppings round out the build-your-own experience - avocado, edamame, ginger, and seaweed salad are a few of my favorites. Don't skip the OG sauce and sriracha aioli - the sauces are great additions to any bowl.

    Catherine C.

    The only poke place in Columbia. It's always a hit or miss for me because they are pretty stingy about giving only five pieces of the protein I choose (usually salmon or tuna). The prices is around 10-12 bucks which is kinda expensive for a college student but I always keep going back to this place. Would come back for my sushi fix! Update: Since Freshe Poke opened in the Vista, I have not been here since. They do not charge extra for masago, crab sticks, and seaweed salad there. But overall the pricing is the same for both of them if you were to pay for those items are poke bro. Also Poke bro always slips maybe four or five pieces of the fish itself. why pay for that when I know freshe poke can give me more? Step it up Poke Bros.

    So fresh
    Hannah S.

    I have to say that one of the best parts about this poke bowl situation is the fact that you can basically make up you're own sushi. No seaweed roll up stuff. I'm definitely a sushi lover, so don't think I'm dogging it by any means. It's like going from burrito to burrito bowl and it just feels right. I got the Hula which has shrimp, cucs, avocados, and some other great stuff. Do you shake it up like a burrito bowl, I'm not sure but it could work. No where to sit, but great lil to-go place for a fresh meal.

    Custom bowl- salmon was super fresh
    Mindea P.

    SUPER HARD TO FIND! My first time in Columbia SC, and I desperately wanted poke. It's especially difficult if you've never been in this area before. I found this place on Yelp and used the address above, and tried to read other's reviews on how to find it. I think if you use GPS, it will say that it's in the main Five Points plaza near Starbucks, but it's actually in the plaza with Andy's Deli across the street. Spent 15 mins trying to find the place. Once you get across the street, Poke Bros is all the way at the end. Once inside, it's clean and the food seems fresh. No seating inside though. FOOD: Fish is very fresh and all toppings are vibrant and crisp. I had a custom bowl: brown rice, salmon, edamame, seaweed salad (extra), green onions, ginger, sesame seeds, crispy onions, ponzu/sweet soy sauce, Sriracha on the side. My bowl was delicious, just wished I had more of it. It's definitely worth a visit. They charge for the "popular" toppings which is unheard of for me since other poke places have unlimited toppings except avocado. The portion of rice is big, but the fish for protein is cut smaller than other places. So, you end up paying more $11-14 for less fish than another place (usually $8-11) But since there aren't a lot of Poke restaurants around, it makes sense to charge more. 3 stars for location, and small amount of fish. Wish I could give 3.5 since it was quite tasty, satisfying, and healthy.

I went up to order and greeted him. He continued not to say anything to me. As I was letting know what I wanted in my bowel he was angrily scoping the ingredients in my bowl.

From the outside, it doesn't look like a whole lot, but the inside was quite meticulously kept and had plenty of space to eat in, though most of their fairly vigorous business was takeout. As Poke-type places go, this one offered a ton of options. Virtually any diet could be accommodated, vegan and gluten-free easily so but also whatever you'd want in terms of limiting carbs. They had a splendid selection of ingredients with multiple fruits, several ways to get your greens, but also some delicious crunchy things and spicy sauces. And it was a good sized bowl. It was one of the better such bowls I've had, and for the ingredient quality, the price was not bad. Having been impressed into ordering a tea, I did not like that as much. My lychee tea was not excessively sweet, but the fruitiness didn't quite make up for it. The popping boba didn't quite pop the way I'd hoped either. Maybe another drink would have been better but I preferred the food over the tea. Still given the range of options available, I really could not have expected much better of a meal than this.
