Another fantastic experience here. Great quality tuna and masago. Spicy mayo does taste different than what I'm used to but it doesn't taste bad at all. Very clean inside as well, however be warned there is minimal seating. read more

This place has great prices for a large amount of food, and tastes very high quality too! I went with the classic poke bowl, which has a good variety of fish & toppings, and was very filling! The service was super quick and the inside of the store is very clean and nice, though I took mine to go. I'll definitely be back to try one of the sushi burritos next time! read more

POKE FUSION BOWL - Classic Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This is my FAVORITE place to get poke bowls. Their food is always so fresh and the portions are extremely generous. I always get a large bowl and get two full meals out of it. For the high-quality ingredients, the prices are also extremely reasonable. Everyone there is also extremely friendly which is a plus as well. I tell everyone I know to come here if they're looking for a really good but quick meal! My go to order is: sushi rice, spicy tuna, corn, pineapple, krab salad, seaweed salad, eel sauce, tempura crunch, cilantro, cucumber, red onions, carrot, spicy mayo, scallions, furikake read more

POKE FUSION BOWL - Large poke bowl. Protein: spicy tuna - Poke Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I decided to pop in here for an early dinner as I was craving some poke and boba. I have seen great reviews on this business and wanted to check it out for myself. Since it was around 5pm, there was no one inside so I did receive pretty quick service. The employee was very helpful as it was my first time there. I went with the coconut milk with boba and she started making that first before my poke bowl. For the bowl, I wanted to do a BYOB so I could make my own creation. I went with a small bowl which it's a lot smaller than other place however I was still satisfied with the portions. My base was half rice and half spring mix. For my protein, I wanted the spicy tuna but it's chopped up so I went with regular tuna that was cut into cubes. My mix ins were cucumber, jalapenos, mango, and red onions. I added seaweed salad and paid extra for avocado. My toppings were furikake and I went with the spicy mayo sauce. Overall, the boba tea was pretty good. It was a little sweeter than what I'm use to but I really enjoyed it especially with this Florida heat. The poke bowl was very balanced with the perfect amount of toppings and mix ins as they mix everything together in the bowl prior to plating. Initially, I assumed the small bowl was too small but honestly, it was very filling. The tuna was fresh and did not taste fishy at all. The quality in general was very good. I'm looking forward to trying that sushi burrito and grabbing another boba tea in the near future. read more

Delicious and fresh bowls , polite service also . Clean restaurant with relaxing seating area. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This place is great. Eveything is high quality, fresh. They make poke bowls the right way. I wanted so badly to give this place 5 stars, but it misses that mark due to the fish portions being unusually small for a poke bowl. Just give customers the food. Otherwise, an excellent choice for some healthy food. read more

We love this place! We stopped by for a lunch date and both did create your own bowls. They are tons of topping options. I chose the medium which is 2 proteins, my bf did large which was 3. Good pricing for a solid amount of food. The ingredients were fresh, restaurant was clean and the staff was so friendly! They asked us how our food was as we were headed out. We will be back! read more

The service was amazing. When entering, everyone felt approachable, kind, welcoming, and friendly. They were extremely patient. The place had a warm and comfortable feeling to it. The food was hands down amazing. The salmon was perfectly soft and melted in my mouth. Rice was amazing- everything was so good. I got an iced mango tea to drink & it was also perfectly sweet- not too much and not too little. I've actually been back since, and I'm planning on going again :) read more

POKE FUSION BOWL - Custom 8. Build Your Own Large Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Hey Gainesville Yelp Community! So surprised to get the first to review on this one! I traveled to Gainesville and upon leaving the airport, en route to the hotel, I was on the hunt for some lunch. After striking out trying to find parking down by the university (partially my fault--the rental car place was out of all cars and so I had to drive a pickup and was nervous by the small parking spaces down there), I headed toward my hotel in the hopes of finding some place along the way. I spied the strip mall (with nice, big parking spaces) where Poke Fusion Bowl lives and pulled in. There's a few eateries in this strip mall but a bowl and boba sounded like just the thing! I ordered their tofu garden bowl which is bursting with flavorful freshness. Packed with veggies, mango, avocado, tofu, and seaweed salad--it was a perfect veggie packed lunch. I also ordered a taro milk boba tea, which was great! The service was fast and friendly. They have free wifi and a few tables for dining in. The atmosphere is very fast casual so easy and just as good to take it to-go. A great first experience with this spot! If you're able to drop by and give it a try--would love to hear what you think! Get to it! read more

Visiting Gainsville and was looking to have a Poke bowl for dinner. The food was great which is why I decided to write a review. The sushi was fresh and they aren't stingy with packing your bowl up. We also got a crepe which was delicious. Workers were friendly as well. read more

The food was small in comparison to other Poke Bowl locations. I personally did not like how cold the sushi rice felt in comparison to the rest of the already cold food. I usually like the warm bed with the cold servings that followed. My partner and I did not enjoy the chicken. However, the salmon and tuna were good selections. The service was great, and I enjoyed how quick it was to receive our food as we went down the line. However, there was no regular drinks available so all that was available was a glass tank of water. This water level got so low that I had to tip over the tank to fill my cup. Overall, nice location, but few things to improve on. read more

I got a sudden craving for a poke bowl on a Saturday night so I stopped by Poke Fusion Bowl on 34th Street. I went with the Sakura bowl, one of the signature bowls. It included sushi rice, spring mix, tuna and spicy tuna, cucumber, red onion, mango, cilantro, eel sauce, spicy crab salad, sweet corn, scallions, masago, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and tempura crunch. This was an incredible flavor sensation of sweet, sour, salty, savory, bitter, crunchy, chewy, and smooth. Half of the included items I have never tried before, making every bite a new experience. The speed of the service was adequate and the staff was friendly. There are tables if you want to eat there or they will pack it for you to go if you're on the move. I am looking forward to trying more of their signature bowls and maybe crafting some of my own. Not to mention their dessert crepes. There is plenty to try at Poke Fusion Bowl. read more

Amazing I love this place best sushi burrito ever!! They are also so nice and the fish tastes rlly good

Decided we wanted to try a new poke spot and I would probably say this is one of my more favorable places to go for Poke Bowls here in Gainesville. Ordering is very simple as you pay for the size of your bowl and any additional charges first, then you build it afterwards. The selection was nice and had a decent amount of things to choose from. They had krab salad as a topping which was very notable for me as I am a huge fan of it and that was the first I've seen it as an option at a poke bowl place! They also had boba which is something we always enjoy. We got the Thai tea and the peach milk tea, both were very delicious! Overall everything was very good and i think we found our new go-to poke bowl spot here in Gainesville! read more

Poke Fusion Bowl is formerly J-Petal, with a new name and location. I've waited with bated breath for their reopening, and have been able to get my fix several times. My husband and I were longtime customers of J-Petal, and the transition to the new location hasn't affected the quality of the food. We typically get takeout, so I can't comment on the ambience of the new location, but the service is good (the owner is lovely, and has always been friendly and welcoming when we pick up food. The menu has remained the same as it was, and the ingredients used for the poke bowls are excellent quality; I've never seen questionable fish or produce that wasn't good quality for the custom bowls. You also have a lot of options for ingredients--more than I've seen at other places. I pretty much always get the build-your-own bowl, and the portions are generous; even the small bowl is plenty of food for a couple of meals, especially if you pair it with one of the sweet crepes for dessert. The sweet crepes are also really good--you can add on additional toppings for a charge, and the portion is generous. A lot of the sweet crepes do have banana as a base ingredient, which would be my one criticism--it would be nice to see a few more options without them. The boba tea is quite tasty, however, typically on the sweeter side. The green apple tea is a perennial favorite. The grapefruit fruit tea is the less sweet, so if you want something less sweet (they can't do a half-sweet), then that is your best bet, and them know you prefer less sweet (I think that may be the flavor they add a bit of additional sweetener to, but don't hold me to that). For the milk fruit teas, the honeydew is amazing. I'm addition to the usual tapioca bubbles, they have a lot of other different bubbles, (the popping bubbles were new to me). read more

The only down side of moving to High Springs is being farther away Poke Fusion Bowl! Formerly known as JPetal and Poke, moved to a new bigger location in the plaza on 34th where Crunch Fitness is, expanded menu, expanded hours, I can't say enough about these people. This family run business is incredible. The husband and wife are the sweetest people, the food is always fresh and delicious, if you haven't tried it, please go!!! read more
