I love trying different restaurants, especially ones I haven't been to before. A good friend of mine found this gem and suggested we check it out. It just so happens to be located across the street from the gym. What better way to beast in the gym and feast right afterwards? Well it certainly was a great idea for us since we are foodie gym rats. We came in with a big appetite after our workout and were seated right away. They had just started their happy hour (which by the way is from 3-6pm). Everything on the happy hour menu looked so tempting but we were there for poke bowls specifically. Once we realized that it may be awhile to make our orders, we did start with the shiitake mushroom meatballs as our appetizer. The meatballs were pretty tasty and came with a sweet dipping sauce. The poke bowl menu is more like a check off list. First you start with a base, pick your proteins, veggies, toppings and sauce. All you have to do is place a check mark next to each item on the list and hand it over to the waiter. We both got the double protein bowl with extra protein. It was half tuna and half salmon and white rice. I had corn, ginger, edamame, Cucumbers, poke sauce , spicy mayo, Japanese mayo, seaweed and scallions. Our bowls were $14.75 each. It's basically a build your own poke bowl. Certain items do cost a little extra. But you can still build a massive bowl for less than $15. I like that the bowls were pretty fulfilling and fresh and tasty. I like the wide variety of toppings, sauces, proteins, and carbs to choose from. I think this is one of the best poke bowls I've had here in central Florida so far. My friend and I were talking about coming here again for our next poke bowl fix and possibly try the other things on their menu. read more

I met my friend here for lunch and everything was so amazing! I love how you can come in and order off a screen to make sure you customize your poke bowl exactly how you want! This system takes the anxiety out of ordering! Flavor wise, everything was just as amazing and innovative. I had the half rice half greens bowl with tuna poke. It was amazing and huge! I had to take it home with me to finish it. I also want to add how clean everything was and how polite all of their staff is. Great spot! read more

Poke By Gochi - Tuna Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Truly amazing experience here. My partner and I have made it a mission to try as many poke bowl places and this has been the best one so far. The sauces are amazing and the selection as a whole is delectable. The workers were so kind and helpful even as we ran into some difficulty with payment. Ambience was so nice, honestly a very pleasant atmosphere. The only thing is that you order first and then they make the bowl, which is probably not the best way to run a poke bowl shop. Still, though, we will definitely be coming back! read more

Fast service and amazing food! The portions are just right and will keep us coming back!

Finally decided to try this place ever since we went to the Gochi sushi main restaurant. So...I had some sort of expectations but was a bit disappointed. I did the Build your own bowl and the Roxie started at $14, veggies are free but lots of options were additional prices which was def on the expensive side for a poke bowl. It tasted fine, good portion but compared to the other poke places I'm not that impressed. It was clean but there was no character to the place. You order on a computer screen and there's a guy making all the orders. He was friendly. read more

I think the staff made my bowl taste better. You can order whatever in your poke bowl, and they will assist if you don't know. Super friendly and helpful in selecting toppings and suggestions. My portion was pretty good for the price as well. Poke bowl looked good, fish was fresh, and filling. read more

Poke By Gochi - Salmon and tuna poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Poke By Gochi just opened in Winter Garden. It is owned by the same owners as Gochi Japanese Kitchen. Gochi Japanese Kitchen relocated down the street and Poke By Gochi moved into the old space. I placed a takeout order and was impressed by their new system of ordering. It's all done by a touch screen that guides you through the process and takes payment. I ordered a salmon poke bowl ($14.00) and upgraded one of my sides to avocado with a $1.00 up charge. The finished product was delicious. The salmon was fresh and adding avocado was a good choice. There was no wait and the service was helpful and friendly. I see myself returning often. read more

It's great to finally have a poke bowl spot close to the downtown Winter Garden area. It's something I've been waiting on for a while so I was very keen on trying Poke by Gochi as soon as I heard about it. This poke bowl restaurant is located at Gochi Sushi's old location, right next to Tijuana Flats. They did a great job remodeling the location, decor is bright and inviting. At the moment there is only signage on the door as you can still see the old Gochi Sushi sign on the building. This is a cashless biz, so you can order and pay at the station when you walk in or scan the QR code at the door and use your phone. I chose to do the latter since it was one thing less I had to touch in a public space. Also, if you want to save some time I'd recommend ordering in advance for takeout. I found the menu to be a little limited at this time but figured that might just be until they figure things out. At first impression I was taken aback by pricing. Other poke bowl locations in Orlando often offer different bowl sizes with 2+ proteins so you can choose your portion and price. Also their toppings were a bit lacking (no mango?). I found $14 for a bowl with only 1 protein to be quite expensive. At a different restaurant I could get a large bowl with 3 proteins at that price. Total check ended up being $17 with up charges, tax and tip. Might not end up being a frequent lunch spot for some folks. The bowl itself was delicious, the greens could've been a bit fresher but overall I enjoyed the flavors. I really want this place to succeed since I've been waiting so long for a spot like this to open. I look forward to trying it again once grand opening kinks have been sorted. read more

Very happy there is officially a poke place in WG! I came in to order and they were touch screens only. It was time consuming to go through each screen one by one. The food was good but not amazing. Pretty basic but optimistic it will improve in future because they are new. read more

Go here! The food is amazing. Some of the best poke I have had. My boyfriend also loves that they have non fish options. The bulgogi is delicious read more

I just stopped by here to grab lunch, and I was so disappointed as soon as I opened the box. I asked for extra eel sauce, they put a bunch of spicy mayo and almost no eel sauce at all, so it was almost too spicy to eat. The rice was hard, super chewy and hard to break apart. Fish itself has great favor, but unfortunately my mouth was burning so couldn't enjoy it too much. I will try again, just sucked to waste my lunch break on something I didn't get to enjoy. read more

I was excited to see Gochi changed their sushi restaurant into a poke bowl place. I finally had the chance to try it and it was less than mediocre. There was zero flavor and not enough toppings to choose from. I was asked for here or to go and I chose to eat there. They put it in a to go box and it was very difficult to eat out of. I hope the owners will read the reviews and take into account the things that need to be changed because they are lovely people. It was also kinda pricy for the quality. read more

First, I'm so glad to finally have a Poké place close to us. Poke by Gochi has a visible store front in the Publix shopping center next to Tijuana Flats. My fiancé and I saw it one day after making a grocery store run and decided to give it a try for dinner on a Wednesday evening. As soon as you walk up to the door, there's a QR code to scan and order online, and if you bypass that essentially you'll just use the screen they have at the counter... So it makes sense to order online. Although, one thing I typically like about Poké places is the ability to go up to the counter and see the ingredients or talk to the people assembling your bowl and that's not really an option here. But the menu is descriptive enough if you're familiar with poke. We ordered two Florida bowls and a couple sides of the Krab Rangoon. Everything came out pretty quickly and the bowls were served in large portions, however, the Krab Rangoon was super small and a little underwhelming so I would probably pass the next time around. The poke bowls themselves were good, different than what I've had in the past, but the sauces where flavorful and the ingredients in the Florida signature bowl blended together nicely. Definitely will return. read more

I was hopeful. I waited to see more reviews. I am still hopeful that it can be better. The staff was super friendly and for that, I went with 3 stars. But, it's pretty basic and if you add anything to it, well, it gets super pricey. I also gauge a sushi/poke place but level of busy they are since you have to turn over that food quickly to keep it fresh. No one else was in there that evening. My poke was okay. Nothing over the top. Nothing horrible. Just pretty basic and it wasn't a very sizeable portion. I want to love it. I want it to be better. I want it to succeed! read more

Love the food, and the vibes. They are great but sometimes short staffed but I'm always felt like I'm taken care of here.

I was not happy at all. Hard compare it to another poke restaurants by different brands. Taste very plain, only a few toppings included. Even Masago is an extra cost, everything other than carrots, corn, mango, pineapple, cucumber will be extra. Other places provide way better options and more topping are included. For the small toppings is the same story, you can add only 2 free of charge. Common that's greed, very poor quality and variations. Sushi rice was pretty warm which is unacceptable for sushi rice, it has to be cold. I did not order white rice, I needed cold sushi rice. Cucumber was diced as well as mango, feels that it was a Mexican dish not Hawaiian poke bowl. And corn?! Seriously? It doesn't work out with the other flavors at all. Why are you offering it? Probably cause it's the cheapest ingredient?! Overall, a very little amount fish, lots of rice and not many toppings. I won't be coming back. Also, I did order edamame but they never put it in my poke bowl, ever it was so slow and I was the only customer in the restaurant read more

Surprisingly good. Fresh ingredients. Large choice of ingredients and sauces. The raw Sushi like seafood were excellent! Pleasant staff were very helpful in putting together my Poke Bowl. I will be back for more. read more

Such a great hidden secret! We love the poke and fried tofu. If you aren't a poke fan, the grilled chicken is also really delicious. I can't pick a favorite. The employees are so nice. Quiet restaurant to eat there or wonderful to go. read more

best poke place but service isn't the same. few months ago, the 2 regular workers were amazing. Current kids/workers seem lazy, a bit rude, things not prepared, and twice, out of white rice. how is a poke place out of white rice? bring back the old crew!!! read more

This is my absolute FAVORITE place to get a poke bowl. I've tried a handful of other places and Poke By Gochi is by far the best. The food is amazing and good quality. They have a wide variety of op for everything. The place is super cute as well, love the colors and atmosphere. Service is always quick and well done. Highly highly recommend!!! read more

what poke bowl place closes at 5?? the poke is good but sometimes the rice is too hard. I don't like how it closes at 5.

I love this place. Excellent fresh, healthy food. I eat here at least once a week and the custom bowls have enough options to keep it interesting! read more

I have to contribute this positive review of Poke by Goshi. I've only had poke a few times in my life, as it hasn't become popular in the east as on the west coast, but enough times to know what bad poke is, and this is good! Fresh and well balanced ingredients, good portion, friendly staff, and great location. I wish I took a picture of my Hawaiian bowl, but I didn't know I'd need to write this review until it was gone! If they maintain consistency, this will be an awesome addition to our options in Winter Garden. Spread the word so we can keep this new gem in Winter Garden!! read more

This was my first visit to Poke By Gochi. I decided on a tuna & salmon bowl with 1/2 white rice & half greens. The greens were completely brown and inedible. I was really disappointed, considering how fresh the other ingredients were. If I ever return, I know NOT to get the greens. Yuck! read more

Great new find in the original location of Gochi Sushi. Same great service, very modern look. Basically a self check out kiosk to build your bowl. Our cook "Nails" was very friendly and coached us through the interface. We split a bowl and he split prepared two separate bowls for us. Will be back read more

Took a chance on a new place and so happy I did! I ordered online which was simple and convenient. When I got to the store the staff seemed busy keeping the place spotless and doing some food prep. My meal wasn't done but I honestly wasn't upset I got to the shop quick was told it would be five minutes. Told the young man I would be in the car and come back in. Before I could even settle in to wait the man walked my food out with a very kind (masked) smile and apology for the wait. The meal is much larger than I had expected I got tuna with extra krab. All the veggies and sauces I could possibly pile on to the meal plus avocado. Besides wishing I could eat this every meal I do wish the pineapple was cut smaller and maybe a bit more to be proportional to the other toppings. But that's nit picking and would never stop me from getting that topping again. Definitely happy this is so close and will be adding it to my regular dinner treats! read more

Very good poke! The employee working was great and the food was awesome! I used to drive to winter park for poke, I no longer have to!

Love the food! Such great costumer service, a pleasure to dine in every time.!!!!!! Cant wait to come back.

I have been here twice since this place opened up recently and both times it has been amazing food and service. The fish, both tuna and salmon, was extremely fresh. They cook the rice so it's nice and warm when you receive it. Our server, Jeff, was extremely polite and went out of his way to make sure our experience was great. One of the items on the menu I ordered was not in stock, so instead of saying that they didn't have it, one of the employees went out and brought the snack. I was very impressed by the service and I will definitely be coming back soon. read more
