For a casual poke bowl place, this place is totally worth it. Not only did it have good portions but the quality of the fish met the price. At this place a regular bowl came with 3 scoops of protein and then unlimited toppings. read more

Poke King - Scallops, spicy tuna and salmon bowl - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The poke bowl was excellent and fresh. I ordered online and picked my pick up time and they'll bring it out to you. Will be going back.

This is now on our go to list! This is an pay, make your own bowl (kinda deli order style where you pick your options and they compile in front of you), then find a spot to eat or take it to go concept restaurant. Comes in large or regualr * pick a base rice, wonton chips or mix and match (my pick 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad greens * pick your protein (reg 3 scoops, large 5 scoops) * sauce it * and then more topping choices, crab, seaweed, cucumbers, onion shreds, etc. We loved it! And the staff was super nice too! read more

Solid 4.75! You walk into a small restaurant that looks like it could be a ice cream shop but it's a delicious Poke bar. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They made great suggestions and showed us the way of the land. Everything looked very fresh and the kitchen was clean. The seating area was tight and needs to be reworked. There're two, 6 person bench style tables, a tight window bar and a few 2 top tables against the wall plagued with too many chairs which made it a bit of a mess. We had the a regular bowl witch is about $11 and well worth it! I love that you can mix 'n match your base. I did white rice and greens. Then you pick you 3 proteins. I did tuna, yellowtail and shrimp. They mixed them together with your choice of house made sauces. I chose spicy mayo, the girl suggested adding truffle ponzu. She said it was popular. She was so right! Then came all the other toppings!!! Crabmix, scallions, seaweed salad, picked ginger, edamame and Avocado ($1 extra for the Avo, no prob). I also had sliced cucumber, but I would suggest to them chop them or Julian them, they're easier to eat that way with chopsticks. Then you can top it off with fried garlic, tobiko, fried shallots and seaweed flakes and sesame seeds, love it! Every bite was was a treat! Some how my photo didn't save so you can't see my tantalizing masterpiece. So sad. But no worries there will be a next time!!! read more

I love me some Poke. How it works - Step 1 choose a bowl - regular (3 scoops of protein, Large (5 scoops), Tofu Step 2 chose a base - rice (brown/white). Greens, wonton chips Step 3 pick- octopus, salmon, scallop, shrimp. Tofu, tuna, yellowtail Step 4 pick a sauce Step 5 pick toppings -- too many to list (see website for full listing) Dessert - macaroon ice cream sandwiches - they're premade and mass produced but the yummy! They have a frequent flyer program but I was not asked to participate. Normally, I would've asked but I was bringing dinner to my Pop and it's never a good idea to keep him waiting for food. Pops bowl was brown rice (he hates it but it's good for him) with octopus, shrimp and salmon topped with crab and the most basic veg they offered. He loved it. Ate the entire thing. Said he'd have it again. High praise from a steak and potato kinda guy. I got brown rice with tunas and octopus topped with crab, seaweed salad and veg. The poke took me back to the supermarkets in Hawaii--judge me if you like but my friend who's a local turned me on to the best ones! The only beat thing is limited seating and long lines! read more

In the land of AYCE sushi this is a great alternative that I wish I'd discovered a long time ago. Significantly cheaper than an AYCE dinner and you get a nice sized serving of raw fish without having to eat a ton of rice along with it. Not charging extra for seaweed or crab salad is nice. I had spicy tuna, salmon, octopus, shrimp, and scallops, and it was all tasty. I probably hit an AYCE sushi place once a month on average but now I'm thinking 80% of the time I'll probably hit this place up and save some money and some calories. Save the sushi for when I also want some tempura and other stuff to go with the fish. read more

I've been coming here since they opened last year, and the food is great! I'm never disappointed. However... I feel like after the first few visits, I've been having less-than-stellar service each time. I understand that there's a rush to get through the line of people, but I don't need to be yelled at while I'm ordering. Maybe a "can you repeat that for me," instead of "HUH??!" would make the environment a lot calmer to be in. 5/5 for the food, but 3/5 for the service. read more

I'd love to give them more stars. The portions are generous and the sauces are delicious. The ahi was fresh and the spicy ahi was yummy too. However.... the maguro was not. I asked for a small side of it and they mounded it on. Disappointed. It kind of ruined most of the bowl. They could do a better job of dicing the ahi too. A lot of pieces were stuck together by sinew and it made it difficult to take reasonably-sized bites. Since I had to throw half my bowl out due to the fishy maguro, I don't think I'll be back. :( read more

Poke King - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Poke King is there for me when when my wallet is telling me I can't have sushi. I've been there multiple times and it's consistently been fresh and tasted great. It's less expensive than sushi and the portions are filling. It's like deconstructed sushi you can customize. They have a variety of proteins, from scallops to salmon, and a ton of toppings. The customer service is gonna get you too. Every time I've been they're so upbeat and that's part of the reason I'll come back. My go to: white rice, salmon, sesame shoyu, spicy mayo, green onion, crab salad, seaweed salad and sesame seeds. read more

As with the popularity of sushi and ceviche, in recent years Hawaiian poke salad has made quite a splash amongst American foodies. Pronounced "pohk-eh" and meaning "to slice or cut", it has its origins as a quick fisherman's snack of trimmings from the day's catch. Becoming a favorite treat on island menus in the '70s, versions of the dish began to gain popularity on the mainland just a few years ago, with Reno restaurants adding a dish or two. However, the true mix and match custom poke bowl just made the local scene this spring with the opening of Poke King. The strip mall location is small, but they supplement the sparse indoor seating with a fair amount of patio tables. The format is pretty straight-forward and the service is efficient and friendly. First, you choose either three or five scoops of protein ($10.95 and $13.95 respectively), or you can do a tofu bowl for $8.95. Next, indicate a base of white or brown rice, mixed greens, wonton chips, or a mix of your choosing. Moving on, your selection of proteins including octopus, salmon, scallop, shrimp, tuna, yellowtail, or tofu. Sauce it up with sesame shoyu, spicy mayo, truffle ponzu, or creamy miso. Finally, top it with any combination of sweet onion, scallion, masago, tobiko, jalapeno, cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, crab salad, wasabi, pickled ginger, sesame seed, fried garlic, fried shallot, furikake, or diced avocado ($1 extra). My friend and I went with three-scoop bowls, and at first glance they seemed a bit small. Looks can definitely be deceiving, because neither of us left hungry. I'd say they were roughly equivalent to ordering a pair of sushi long rolls. Perhaps my only complaint would be that the food just barely fit in the bowl; I'd like to have more room to mix everything up a bit. Wanting some leafy goodness, I asked for mixed greens, salmon, tuna, and shrimp tossed in spicy mayo, topped with maguro--tiny fish roe--onion, ginger, shallot, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, and furikake--a Japanese seasoning blend of dried and ground fish, sesame seeds, chopped seaweed, sugar, salt, and sometimes MSG. The texture and freshness of the seafood was very good, with the cooked shrimp diced just as the fin fish. The mix of greens was very nice, and the seaweed added some tartness and crunch. The spicy mayo made for a perfect salad dressing. My friend's bowl of octopus, scallop, and yellowtail--tossed in creamy miso on white rice--was topped with wonton chips, crab salad, scallion, sweet onion, cucumber, fried garlic, and avocado. Again, the fish was perfect with the octopus a delicious standout. Very nice, savory sauce, and in general a really satisfying, filling bowl of enjoyable flavor and texture. The avocado was nice and ripe, and the crab salad was finely shredded, akin to that used to top sushi rolls. Not a ton of flavor on its own, but a nice complement to the bowl. The rice came straight from the cooker, so it was still a bit warm. A comforting touch against the refrigerated ingredients. I really appreciate a menu that is simple and straight-forward, yet allows for any number of combinations to be assembled. I'd like to taste the other sauces and mix up the seafood combinations, and with such great service and quality ingredients, I doubt it'll be long before I work my way through a few more bowls of poke delight. read more

The poke bowls are so great and the people who work there are super friendly! Poke king is a great place to get something delicious, quick, and healthy!! They always load my bowl with salmon and yellow tail and its super filling. read more

I'll make this short & sweet so as not to duplicate the other reviews. 1. Do you like sushi? 2. Do you like customizing your food? 3. Do you like fresh, whole food ingredients? (Fish sourced from a very reputable local purveyor - I asked, the owner told me and then I forgot the name :/) 4. Do you like a big bowl of satisfying, relatively healthy, filling food for around $10? If yes, then this is your place! My daughter and I have been craving it ever since our visit! read more

6-12-20 I don't know why it took me this long to try this place. I'm gonna be a regular now. Fresh. Lots of options. When you want sushi but don't want all you can eat. This bowl will satisfy you. I had the crab bowl: I ate the entire thing. Yum. Yum. Yum. read more

This review is bitter sweet! I love the options of toppings at poke king but every time i go there i get sick. Maybe I eat too much but i can't help but question of their fish stays fresh enough being in an open top bin. I'm sure I'll try again sometime but for now... read more

Went with my son and niece a few times and it's always clean inside, and the staff is helpful and quick.

Wow! So great! This was my first time but it won't be my last. I loved it. Had the shrimp, crab salad, edamame, brown rice, greens and spicy mayo. The small bowl was deceiving, I was stuffed and very satisfied. Glad I'm only down the street from this place because I'll be a regular now. read more

Super impressed! I was unsure about coming here because I assumed poke is mostly fish and meat but I got the tofu bowl. Daniel, the owner even fried some tofu for me. How it works is: you choose your base (white or brown rice, greens,...), the your proteins, and sauce. And you can add toppings too. I went with the sesame shoyu and Daniel recommended some spicy mayo. I'm not a huge fan of anything spicy but boy this was amazing! He sure did know his recommendations! Some of the best fried tofu I've ever had! I'll be coming again that's for sure :) the place looks really nice too! Plenty of seating for groups as well. read more

The Reno food scene is certainly on the upswing but there is also a lot of dreck to sift through - especially at the lower (cost, atmosphere) end. Poke King stands out as a juicy, meaty, seaweed-and-edamame-topped jewel. You pick your base, your proteins, your sauce, and your toppings. It couldn't be simpler. What you get is an explosion of flavors and textures that completely make you forget you're in what looks like a remodeled Jimmy John's. The quality of everything in the bowl is fantastic. Add to this the staff, who are used to people not knowing what everything on the menu is and they're almost overly sweet in explaining everything. I'd almost pay extra to have a sorta surly mean guy make fun of me for not knowing what a Sesame Shoyu is. I don't care as long as I get my bowl of atomic whoop-ass. Really best as a quick and amazing lunch ($15 for a regular bowl with a drink), or a quick dinner before heading out. I'll be coming back here as often as I can justify. read more

On my way to third visit to Poke King. I love the small bowl. I'm going to try a different base this time, brown rice mixed with greens. Oops, got to cut this short, I'm in a hurry! I finally made it to the recycling center today so I feel like I really deserve something good to eat so here I am at Poke King again. The girl was trying to take my ororder but I could not understand a word she said because the music was so loud. Well I guess they think it was music. Anyway, when I mentioned it to her she went back and turned it off! That's what I call helpful service. I find if I get there before 5 PM I practically have a place to myself. It worked again today. read more

Poke King - Poke King turn me on with some raw fish! - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I am probably the last person to jump on this poke bowl bandwagon and today was the day that I ended that. Although I'm a lover of sushi, I wasn't too sure about the poke bowl just because I guess it look different. I took the plunge today walked in the Poke King after doing some research online about the place. So I kinda New what to expect when I walked in. I really appreciate how they left the menu quite simple because I could see how it would be overwhelming to have so many more choices. I should point out the way this is set up you choose a base, protein, a sauce, and your toppings. The smaller version bowl comes with a choice of three different proteins while the larger option has five. So with this being said you get to choose either three or five different proteins which I didn't get that from the research I did. You can also mix sauces which I took the recommendation of the girl who was working. There were so many toppings to choose from and you could easily go overboard on these but for me more simple the better and it turned out to be a lot of food, even the smaller bowl. So for my bowl today I chose a white rice base with salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna for my proteins. For my sauce I mixed spicy mayo with truffle ponzu sauce. My toppings included cucumber, tobiko, crab salad, seaweed salad, and edamame. It was so good I wanted to eat the whole thing but my stomach is in that bag so I had to split it up and save half for later. So even the small ball is filling. I'm so glad I took the chance to try a new food today because I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

Okay... So I'm just going to say this... THANK GOD FOR POKE KING! WELCOME TO RENO! PLEASE OPEN LIKE 10 MORE LOCATIONS! Also... if you would like to move into my house and feed me like a princess then I promise to be your BFF for EVA!!! But for reals... if you are a sushi lover, stop what you are doing and get your butt over to this place. I had the 3 scoops of protein bowl for $10.95. I got tuna, salmon and scallops and they toss that with delicious sauces. You have the option to put it on rice/salad or nothing with wonton chips on the side (thats what I went with). Then you move down and get unlimited toppings piled high on your bowl... mmmm... I'm getting hungry just writing this review! I will be back... and back again... and back again! Why are you still reading this? You should be on your way already :) read more

Specifically this location is the worst. The workers are lazy and rude. Went in and asked for a regular bowl with spicy Mayo and house sauce. The spicy Mayo ran out while she was pouring it and instead of getting a new one and finishing it she decided to just leave my bowl without. When I asked for a little more she DRENCHED it in spicy Mayo! Really got me back on that one!! I'd go anywhere else that serves poke if you want what you came for! Food was inedible.... solid waste of $25. read more

Holy smokes we were so impressed with this place!!! Delicious and fresh! The flavors were off the hook good. Friendly staff and clean environment as well. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Poke King - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Ever since I tried my first poke bowl in San Diego, I have been hoping for the day that it would come to Reno. At last, my prayers have been answered! If you don't know what a poke bowl is, think deconstructed sushi... it's fabulous and you don't get the feeling like you want to die after eating too much all you can eat sushi, so that's also a bonus ;) The shop is small, located in Northwest Reno, and offers indoor and outdoor seating. The set-up is almost like Qdoba, where there are different stations. You choose your bowl size first: regular bowl gives three scoops of fish while the large gives 5. I opted for the regular. As a base to the bowl you can choose mixed greens, rice (white or brown) or wonton chips. You can even do a mix, which is what I did- it was great, but I might recommend mostly spring greens with just a scoop of rice. They also threw in a side of wonton chips on the house, which was sweet. They offer a great variety of fresh delicious fish and all the toppings you could hope for! The most difficult part was choosing the sauce... they have 4 different kinds, and i'm sure they are all delicious. I was a bit frustrated because I was on the fence about which one to try and the girl working there wasn't much help. Then, I hear the group behind me facing the same quandary, and their worker offered them tasters of each. Wish I could've had that option. I guess I will just have to go back and try them all :) The food was delicious and the service was good overall. I'll definitely be back. read more

Loved this place! I'm from Boston, and was shocked that the Poke was better than back home (I'm a snob). The preparers were so sweet, and the fish was super fresh (how? They're not on a coast). There are a multitude of options to add to the bowl, and it tasted amazing! read more

Poke King - First timers & we will be coming back! It's like Genghis Grill meets sushi.Worth the trip from Sparks! Now, open one in Sparks! - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is the only poke place that opened in Reno! To my surprise I wasn't a big fan of it but my boyfriend was. This place gets pretty busy. The line was literally out the door. As for the poke, I got a the small (regular) size and it was $11. So it was pretty pricey for the size you get. I guess I can't complain much since it did fill me up. The reason why I didn't like this place all that much is because the salmon. I'm a big salmon fan and I know when a salmon isn't good.. first it was too soft which I don't like. It was warm (I think the rice may have something to do with it) but I just didn't like that. The last thing was the skin. The salmon had something brown attached to it. I think it was the skin. The last thing was the rice. They pack the bowl with rice and not enough sauce and fish. Towards the end I had so much rice left. read more

Best poke place in town! Generous portions in their bowls, excellent fresh seafood, delicious sauces, and awesome toppings! Love the options of greens for the base to keep it lower carb and calorie! Great fast, friendly service even when busy! Can't get enough of this place! read more

Living in North Sparks, I really hadn't heard of this place yet. A friend suggested it for lunch today and couldn't have been happier with the choice. Walking in, I really wasn't even sure what to expect. It seems a little cramped inside, but seating seemed appropriate. My order taker gave me the low down on how to order and gave me a few seconds to create my perfect bowl. I went with brown rice, tuna, yellow tail and scallops for my protein with sesame sauce to season it. I topped it off with cucumber, seaweed salad, red cabbage and edamame. The flavors all went very well together and made quite pleasant to the taste buds. The fish seemed very fresh. We arrived a little after 11:30 am. While seated and enjoying our lunch, I had noticed that quite quickly the line began to wrap around inside the smaller space and made it difficult for new patrons to enter. I would definitely suggest getting there a little earlier to avoid the typical lunch rush. I usually go a little lighter on lunch and found the regular size bowl to be more than enough for my lunch appetite. If you work south of town or on the east side as I, I still think its worth the drive to make it over! :) read more

This has become a staple in our family. It's the closest to thing to the poke we enjoyed in Hawaii. First timer? Don't be intimidated the staff is super helpful and accommodating to meet your individual likes. I skip the rice and lettuce, opting for a seaweed salad base then add a mix of salmon and tuna. The fish is super fresh and very tasty, perfectly sized to allow the ultimate bite with whatever combination of toppings you'd like to incorporate. We have visited for both lunch and dinner. It can be busy around the noon hour with a line out the door and limited seating. Don't fret, staff are super efficient and the cafeteria-style line will move very quickly. One of my favorite places to grab lunch, especially during these 100+ degree days. Start with something in your comfort zone, but don't be afraid to come back and venture out with some more exotic choices. Enjoy! read more

Poke King - Poke Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Out of all the Poke pop up places that I've been to, this location by far has been a bang for your buck! They don't skimp out on your toppings and there is a variety to choose from! My bowl is ALWAYS overflowing and the fish doesn't taste like it's been sitting out for 5 days. I can never finish my bowl sometimes because it is just JAMMED-PACKED!!! (Which is always a plus!) The staff are super friendly and nice! And I like the fact that they don't charge you extra for seaweed salad or crab salad as a topping. They do charge the normal avocado but that's fine. Definitely check them out! read more

This is by far my favorite poke place in Reno. Every time I go into Poke King the employees greet me when I walk in and are super friendly throughout the experience! I had never tried Poke until my roommates brought me to Poke King and I fell in love! I have been back many times because it's always refreshing and hits the spot! They have a great variety of fish and toppings which is great if you are picky! I will definitely keep going back seeing at it is not only delicious, but a reasonably good price for the amount of food you are given! Love this place for sure!! read more

Update: it's been less than 24 hours and I already went back for lunch. My pants don't fit anymore but it's fine. So good. So good. I've been meaning to come here since I heard about it and I am now kicking myself for not coming sooner. I want to live here. I ordered a large bowl. I saw the guy before me's regular made and that alone was more than enough food, but I really wanted 5 different proteins. Holy cow this place is amazing. I got spicy tuna, shrimp, scallops, salmon and octopus. It was mixed with spicy mayo and sesame shoyu, as well as green onion and little fishie eggs. The portion was almost big enough to fill the "regular" size bowl, and that's WITHOUT any toppings or base. The girl who made it actually offered to put the chips in a different bowl, so that they didn't get soggy, which made it really easy for me to pig out on their toppings. Which I am currently doing. This review is taking me forever to write because I just can't put the bowl down. Anyway. They have a HUGE list of toppings. I picked a bunch but it's no where near all of them. I got cucumber, jalapeno, fried garlic, furikake, edamame, seaweed salad, crab salad, sesame seeds, and then I smothered it in sriracha. And all of that comes included in the price, they don't charge extra for your extras! Except avocado I think. They have little takeout cups for sriracha and soy sauce packets for the glutton on the go. This was more than I could eat at all you can eat sushi, AND I get to take it home and eat it in bed AND I don't have to leave the place hating myself like I usually do at AYCE sushi. I'm so happy. I'm sad that they're so far away from my downtown home but I will gladly make the trip. read more

Sampled a bowl from this place from someone and I was hooked. The 3 protein bowls are simply amazing no matter which proteins you choose. The fish is very fresh and tasty as well as the sauces which are super yummy. Especially the sweet unagi sauce. The regular bowl with 3 proteins is definitely enough for one person. Prices aren't bad either, ranging from $11-$15. The staff are young girls mainly and are friendly and serve the food quite quickly. We will go here anytime for a quick sushi dinner bowl. read more

By far my favorite poke in Reno. Fish and toppings are always fresh and flavorful, and the menu is not stagnant as they have added new options, mango! yum! I have been so many times and never been dissapointed. read more

I really enjoyed the food! The rice was warm (i was expecting more like sushi rice, and cold), but all the ingrediants were very fresh including the wasabi! Ordering was a little strange at first, but the really nice staff walked me through it. I also ordered a side bowl of fried wanton which was excellent. I only wish they had like egg rolls or tempura shrimp or something, but that might not be the typical appetizer with this? Masubi perhaps? Anyways, i would definitely come back. read more

Fast, fresh, great ingredients, generous portions at a fair price. I love lunch here!

Great concept. But hard to like the quality when I am used to eating poke bowls daily when in Hawaii. If they can find a way to get FRESH fish it would be 5 stars for sure. read more

So we have been customers since they opened and up until our last two visits have been very happy with the food quality and friendly service. Sadly the last two walk in visits were quite underwhelming on the service side (made us feel like they were bothered and doing us a favor by serving us) and the last and likely final visit the shrimp protein was smelling quite funky (reason for the two stars). We could get over the one time shrimp issue but on the service side at least act as though I am valued as a customer. I hope my last two experiences were an anomaly and wish all small business owners success. read more

I finally was able to try this new place out....a bit of a trek from the south side of Reno, but worth it. Similar to places I've tried in Southern Cal., you build your own bowls here. They have two size bowls - regular and large. I opted for the regular bowl, which comes with 3 scoops of protein. Then comes putting together the bowl, first you choose your base - I got the brown rice and greens, then comes the protein - I chose 2 scoops of salmon and A scoop of the tuna. Then you pick the sauces - I had the sesame shoyu and truffle shoyu. Finally comes all the toppings - You can choose to add all the toppings available or pick a few. I asked for cucumbers, crab meat, cilantro, edamame, ginger, fried garlic/shallots, furikake, and seaweed. I realized when I took the picture of my bowl that they missed adding the cilantro and seaweed. But I think it was because the cashier had jumped in asking if I was part of their reward program before the guy adding my toppings was done with my bowl. So one advise I would give them is to give time for customers to finish ordering before asking for their information for their rewards program. Other than that, the poke' bowl was fresh, tasty and filling. read more
