I really enjoy their Poke bowls but yeah, they pile on the rice and I've had some indifferent servers. For the prices they charge, I don't need 2/3 bowl of rice. I laughed at Sarah K's "You could feel the death stare." Sometimes it seems like the servers think it's a bread line and they better hold back for next 1000 people. Other times, it's a balanced bowl. I'm not suggesting they measure and weigh each topping, just don't be stingy like it's coming out of your personal refrigerator and you have to feed the neighborhood. I really like the High Tide and Hula. I also feel like I'm eating better - fresh food, tasty, healthy. The place is spacious and clean. I'm sure to return, but I will speak up about the overabundance of rice! read more

Would give zero stars if possible. So rude to my 70 year old mother. Felt like we were being called into a prison. We would try to be nice but she was so mean to us. As for the food, not particularly good. In the poor side of poke places we've been to around the city. Would not come back. read more

My fiancé and I came here after work today. I was absolutely starving after a busy shift and we were completely satisfied and full. The food is fresh, easy to order, and the workers were nice. The menu is listed with what options HAVE gluten (which isn't many; so lots of choose from if you are GF). Think of a Chipotle style poke bowl place. There are a ton of options to choose from. The sushi rice was great (it's just the white rice with their added vinegar) We will definitely be back! I'm so happy they have a great poke place nearby. read more

Been there for a lunch with my teammate. The hotel is 2 mins away from the Shure office. They have a variety of sea food options for salad. The meal is very filling and worth every penny. Highly recommend this place for a lunch. read more

Fresh toppings and poke! They also gave a lot for the bowl which is nice since poke is usually a bit more pricey. Also love the inside decor! read more

Poke Bros - Hawaiian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

This place is garbage. The lady is racist and gives very little portions. I would suggest trying your food before walking out the door. Horrible service, horrible attitude and does not put on gloves when dealing with food. read more

Very nice clean place to dine in Highly recommend One of the best poke bowls in this neighborhood read more

Poke was ok. Had better in Lakeview and Evanston.Too bad as we were hoping to find a place in our weekly shopping area. I'm writing more because of the lack of friendliness from both staff employees on 1/17/2022 evening. The woman looked particularly annoyed to be there. We swear she sneered when asked a question. No need to go back. Buh-bye! read more

I ordered online and did the build your own bowl. Online ordering was easy and there were lots of options . When I walked in there was not a soul in the entire restaurant including a visible worker. If I hadn't already paid for my order I would've just walked out as it was my first time going there and there are plenty of other lunch options very nearby. It only took about a minute or less and a woman came out. She wasn't smiling and didn't greet me, she was pretty indifferent and didn't seem to want to work there, not overly rude or anything just very passive. She just asked "online order" and handed me a bag without asking my name so I must've been the only customer ordering , she did mumble "thank you " as I took my bag so there's that. The bowl was very good when I ate it though. Ingredients tasted fresh and there was a decent amount of each ingredient. Despite the lackluster attitude of the woman worker, it wouldn't be enough to detour me and I'd be willing to order from there again if in the area and in the mood for that type of cuisine read more

really good! workers were social and not quiet. I don't understand why people are giving one star. just because that sign is up doesn't mean the food isn't good read more

The service was blah- there was a women taking the orders and she was so stingy with the portions. I bought about 4 bowls to go and each was about $15 with Almost no protein. She worked so hard to make sure there was less than the measured spoon in the bowl. I had their food about 2 months ago and loved it but this time it had no flavor. It is a very clean and now looking place but man they have to work on the portions . read more

Went here for the first time and it did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly to help you out with choosing your options, a lot of diversity in their poke options. read more

Restaurant ambience was extremely clean and lovely. The portion sizes are great and awesome for a quick lunch or dinner. Vivian is the sweetest read more

1 star that this place was clean, 0 stars for service. The bowl was 90% rice and she was so rude and stingy with toppings. We added 4 toppings and asked for sesame seeds after she put the lid on. You could feel the death stare. She put one shake, 5 seeds may have trickled out. Now I know why we were the only customers at the time. Maybe if they were more friendly people would come back read more

Updating my previous review to still give 1 star. I hate to do this because the younger guy that works there is always amazing and so friendly, he is the only reason I keep coming back. We cross our fingers every time we go hoping to see him and not the other lady. The bowls are good but there is a woman working there with a DISGUSTING attitude and it's the same lady that's been there since they opened. She is extremely rude and unwelcoming. I work right next door and many of my coworkers refuse to go there because of her. Hope she is not an owner or something because she will drive herself out of business. read more

Ratio of rice to fish could use some work, otherwise it was decent for $15.00 with added toppings. There was too much rice. My husband I chose eel and half and half of spicy salmon and spicy tuna. read more

Poke Bros - Hawaiian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

This is my 4th time coming here to this location. I always order Da Kine and it never disappoints. The only disappointing part is the female server. She seems aloof - not friendly at all. We asked how she's doing and she had this look as if we asked her a weird question to which she replied, "Good, everyday is good." The guy, on the other hand is great; good at customer service. I still recommend this place, though. At the end of the day, I asked myself if she was mean because she's going through something in her life, or she just had a bad day. read more

Great food good service has fresh tuna, salmon 10/10 would eat there again clean place

First time ordering here, I got the jimmy Utah and it was gooooood. Best local place that has the freshest

Food is delicious and the service is fast, ordering takes a little getting use to but once figured it out it's a breeze to get what you want. read more

Highly recommend! Food was fresh and tasty. The staff was friendly and the store was extremely clean. You will be satisfied with any item You order. A wonderful experience. Jim read more

Closed early. Came here at 8:30pm and the lady locked the door and started cleaning up. The signs says they are open until 9PM. What kind of service is this?! read more

Owner not so friendly Food is so so but not so bad though. The place has a promise it only needs good service. Ambiance can be improved. That's it. read more

Very generous owner! The spicy salmon was really fresh and all the ingredients were all so yummy! I would definitely come back for more!

Unfriendly service. Also, the portion size is small for what it costs. Anyway, I didn't have a good experience, so I won't be going back. And I wouldn't recommend to anyone I know. read more

Actually pretty darn good! Staff was bit unfriendly and I hate the fact that they use plastic bowels. I know it's fast food, but there are more environmentally friendly options they should consider using. read more

So happy this place opened up near my place! Nice clean space and food was pretty good! Will come again for sure! read more

Poke Bros - 4. The Duke Poke Bowl (i think? Can't remember) with addon: crispy fried onions and tempura flakes - Hawaiian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

See all

I've been searching for a local poke place and this is the first place I tried. Poke was good, but I would solely not go back because of the customer service. The guy working clearly did not want to be there, and I felt some sort of guilt asking simple questions because it was some sort of inconvenience. I just don't understand why people can't act pleasant! read more

Poke Bros - Hawaiian Near Me - Niles, Illinois

A fantastic experience. Tasty food choices paired with a broad selection of drinks. In and out service, or dine in. Prime location for such amazing food. read more

I would have to agree with some of the other comments. Customer service is not friendly and it name of the store Rice Bros. as that is 3/4 of the meal compared to other Poke meal's I've eaten. Very sparse on the toppings. Convenient location but will seek other out other poke restaurants for better service and value. read more

Poke Bros. in Niles is a very clean fresh seafood spot that hits the mark. Awesome service staff, excellent seafood and fair prices. It is my go to spot for lunch or a healthy dinner. Easy parking ample dining room that is always looking impressive! You will not be disappointed! read more

Portion was very small. Keep in mind I paid $20. Service was rude when I asked for little more vegetable, rice, crunchy onions. Spoons weren't even half full and the attitude was making me feel bad and put on the spot with the dirty looks. I love poke, but I would recommend other restaurants. Not this one. read more

Made my own bowl, the service was very good I had a great time talking to the staff. The store was very clean and well lit. Will visit again soon. read more

My wife and I (both avid sushi-lovers) visited Poke Bros for the first time, and we were sorely disappointed. We both had salmon and tuna bowls, and it was obvious that both of the fish used were NOT fresh. We had two bowls, and it was nearly $50 for our lunch. For that price, one would at least expect fresher fish. We've visited dozens and dozens of Chicago-area sushi restaurants, but this was the first time we both walked away shaking our heads and thinking we truly just wasted our time and money. Our poke bowl preparer was also not the nicest nor patient. Someone needs to tell her that not all customers have been here before or know where to order--directional signage is small and useless. Someone else on one of the more recent reviews mentioned it "felt like we were being called into a prison." Um, not far off. In the end...extremely disappointing and feeling ripped off. read more

I am a delivery driver with Doordash and was picking up an order for a customer here and was greeted with a ridiculous sign that said delivery drivers could not use the bathroom, only customers. I was already on a long shift and really needed to use the bathroom but they wouldn't let me even though I'm doing a service that helps their business. I was forced to go use the bathroom across the street at Chik Fil A that was more than welcome to let me use it. Delivery drivers are people and hardworking people who do not deserve this kind of treatment. I will be boycotting this place and telling everyone I know to avoid it like the plague read more

Hey I eat here every week and the food's delicious. Great service with a smile every time I come!

Fresh and Healthy food fast and at a reasonble price. The ownership at the Skokie, Toughy location is freindly always welcoming.

It was my first visit, it was my last visit. I found the Asian woman to be quite impatient and somewhat rude at my lack of complete understanding of all my options for putting together a bowl. She eventually just walked away and went into the back area behind the curtains. The younger man ended up finishing my order. He was much more polite and took some time to explain some of the options to me. He pointed out the that eggs were $.50 extra if I chose those. He neglected to tell me that many of the other toppings were $1 extra. In fact, as he put it, I could "have as much of the toppings as I wanted." I ended up choosing many of the extra cost items as he was not forthcoming about the pricing. You might think that he would point out that almost every topping I chose cost more money but silence ensued. What I ended up with was a $35 bill for two bowls. My wife was already seated and had begun eating hers so I was locked in. $35 for two people will get you a much better meal in many places. What I ate was NOT worth that money. I felt that I was taken advantage of. I most certainly will not be returning. The bowls at Mariano's are much better, have twice the amount of fish and only cost $20. What prompted my actual review here is that when I asked for a couple of cups of water, I was refused and told I must purchase the water! I just spent $35 and I can't get any water? NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

The service was amazing. The people there are so kind and humble. The place itself is so cool and full of color; such a great area to chill and socialize with friends while eating together. The food especially is exquisite, I go three times a week now! The lady there is one of the most wonderful there. Everyone go there asap you need to give it a try!!!!!!! read more
