Very convenient spot, located in downtown NB. Walkable distance from Rutgers campus. The portions here are very generous, and I leave each time so full. The poke bowls are great (I appreciate how the sauces are served on the side). I would give 5 stars if the interior was a little nicer (it's def more on the casual side). Overall, I'd recommend! read more

I opted for the signature poke bowl and was not disappointed! I thought the fish was good quality, appreciated that the sauces were on the side so you can adjust how much you want, and the quick pick up time was a plus. The decor is interesting when you go in so definitely a nice place if you are looking for something a little different. read more

Poke Nagomi - Nagomi (Salmon and Spicy Tuna) Signature Bowl - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Excellent find right in New Brunswick! These poke bowls are fresh with a good portion of protein (ahi tuna in this case). I ordered through the app and it was easy and convenient. The sauces came on the side - but I didn't end up using any sauce in the poke bowl because the flavors were delicious without any additions. I selected every available topping (except onions), on a bed of rice. Perfect quick meal! read more

Delicious. Generous portions. Easiest online ordering. Only con is parking. Highly recommend the spicy ponzu sauce.

I've ordered from here twice now and found the consistency of the fish in the poke bowls a little bit strange both times - like a little too dense/congealed. I'm not entirely sure why it's like that but it just doesn't seem fresh like the fish you usually get in sushi/sashimi/other poke bowls. Their portion sizes are generous though and the food is tasty. I tried the salmon and spicy ahi tuna. The yuzu mayo has a unique flavor. The service was quick. read more

I really can't give this place more than 3 stars at this point, and that's being generous. Reason being? My poke bowl was ok. I could've given 4 stars IF, AND ONLY IF, everything wasn't WARM. It was a hot day in July and I'm not sure if the a/c is broken or what, but I was sweating inside. And I'm pretty sure it's NOT good to have raw fish kept in those kind of temperatures. I love poke and I make it at home sometimes too with sashimi grade fish. It's just not as great when the temperature of the fish matches that of the hot air in the room. Other than that, I would go back (just not in the summer heat though unless you get that a/c fixed). Bowls are $10. read more

My favorite poke place! Generous portion size, fresh quality fish, a large selection of other ingredients, and love the flavor of the sauce! read more

This food was fresh, absolutely tasty, and the service was fantastic! This was my first poke bowl. I had the calamari with several toppings. The staff was so patient with me (there were many options to choose from and I was cautious of each choice), and also the staff provided great recommendations. The blend of the ingredients was superb. No matter your dietary preference, I recommend this place. read more

I am very impressed with the service and the taste of the food for my firsts time trying something like this. Customer service: They walked me through all of the steps on how to create my own bowl. They even gave me a discount and informed me about restaurant week. B.Y.O.B (Build Your Own Bowl): Rice was not hard or too soft. Edamame was delicious unlike some other Japanese restaurants. Salmon and tuna was fresh and had a lot of flavor to it and they were not cheap with the fishes. Sweet corn had flavor to it unlike some places that just tastes watery. Fish roe was delicious mixed in with my rice and the sauce I chose was the Yuzu Aioli. Atmosphere: The store is small but perfect for people to come grab a bite to eat and leave. Very comfortable seats and tables; it was not too hot or too cold inside. Overall: This was one of best experiences I have ever had in a long time at any restaurant. I will definitely come back to this restaurant and try some other items as well. read more

Pretty tasty poke. Good price. Really a 4.5 star review. I got takeout from here recently after having a big craving for sushi and sashimi during this pandemic. Driving there I saw college students still walking about and there were also more shady looking characters. Yep New Brunswick. There was street metered parking across the street and you do have to pay on Sundays. The salmon and tuna poke tasted pretty fresh though it comes a bit too sweet for my tastes. The additional sauces are all money though - wasabi mayo, spicy mayo and ponzu. The standard poke bowl with additional fish and tobiko was filling and satisfied the craving at a reasonable price. We also tried some Hawaiian sodas and they were delicious especially the apple flavor. read more

Phenomenal poke bowl. I eat a lot of poke because it fits into my lifestyle very well. You cannot even see ALL of the salmon and tuna under my veggies in this bowl. I have ordered twice from here so far and will continue to. It's very clean during this covid world. It's only online orders since their staff is immunocompromised which I highly value they care for their staff. Very nice staff and good food. Highly recommend. read more

Poke Nagomi - Poke and salmon bowl - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

A great poke place that offers generous portions! A fabulous addition to the neighborhood. They offer to build your poke as well as signature specials. Based right on George Street in the New Brunswick city center area, this cozy joint packs a big punch with awesome & filling food. I was so happy to be able to finally make it in, and while it was right before all the COVID stuff began, limiting my options to get more in the following weeks, I can not wait until they open once more to really traverse their menu. Right off the start, I went with their Spicy Tuna Bowl that comes with jalapeños, seaweed salad, onion, corn, scallions, sesame seed, and furikake. i forwent the cucumber. The serving size was amazing, was able to enjoy it for lunch and pre-dinner meal. I will say, I could have kicked up the heat just a bit more, but it was certainly a good spice and may just ask for additional jalapenos the next time. Overall, it was savory and satisfying. Next time I'm there, I'm going with the Japanese Donburi for sure. The resultant itself is small and clean, with a grand vibe and several tables to sit at for lunch or dinner. Definitely a spot for a date night. Service was friendly a prompt, with a simple menu to order from and multiple payment options. Can't wait to go back! read more

This was my first try at Poke Bowl and it was simply AMAZING!!! The service was superb, the gentleman prearing the bowl was super nice and helpful. I got the half rice/half salad bowl with spicy tuna and shrimp. I got a little bit of all the sides except cucumbers and avocado, spicy mayo sauce and sweet soy sauce and fish crunch. It tasted so so good. Definitely did not disappoint at all. If your a sushi fan, this is the place for you. It tastes like sushi in a bowl form. Loved it!!! Will I be returning? Yes, and bringing my friends! read more

Poke Nagomi provided my first Poke bowl experience, and I'm left pondering why I haven't tried Poke earlier as I loved it! There are not many appetizers, but the Seaweed salad with Tuna spiked my interest so I decided to try it. I can gleefully report that it was scrumptious. The seaweed salad was cooling and had a delightful light crunch. Additions of red Onion, scallion, and sesame seed balanced the salad overall. Most importantly the brilliantly red tuna was fresh and firm. Note that adding some Sriracha sauce gave this salad a bit of needed heat and spice. Poke Nagomi offers no signature bowls; every bowl is a custom creation, so my bowl consisted of: 1. Base: 1/2 Rice and 1/2 Mixed salad greens - Appreciate that a 1/2 & 1/2 option is offered as some may prefer to get a taste of both. 2. Proteins: Spicy Tuna and Tofu - Tuna was very fresh. Heat/spice level was okay, but I could have used a bit more heat/spice. The tofu was a nicely soy seasoned firm tofu, but I wish a bit more was served. 3. Sides: Edamame, pickled Ginger, red Onion, Seaweed, and sweet Corn - Self explanatory on flavor, and thankfully each side was fresh. 4. Crunch: fried Onions - Really crunchy and so reminiscent in taste to a very good onion ring. All of the above was topped with a welcoming chili mayo sauce which is available tableside. I think I found one of my new favorite dishes in Poke, so expect more Poke reviews :) Note that Poke Nagomi shares restaurant seating space with Cambo Box (Cambodian restaurant), with Poke Nagomi's ordering area towards the rear. read more

I got a salmon bowl. Very good; just what I needed that evening. Arrived quickly too.

BEWARE, FOOD POISONING. Had this a poke bowl with Tuna and shrimp on Friday afternoon. Woke up vomiting the entire night with food poisoning. Ended up in the ER due to severe dehydration. Also burst a blood vessel in my right eye from the constant heaving. Needless to say, I won't be eating from here ever again. read more

First time having poke in Nj. Really good experience. The bowl had 3 times more food than the pokebowls in nyc. The flavors were really good. I had most of the toppings. The server was very nice. Every though there was a long line. She took good care of us. The price was affordable. The wasabi sauce is a winner. Overall my girlfriend and sister also had a great time. Will love to come here again for more. read more

Probably one of the best poke places in this area of NJ, the bowls are large and the ingredients all taste fresh and are well-proportioned. I got the signature bowl and really enjoyed it.

Poke Nagomi - Nagomi Poke Bowl (Salmon Poke & Spicy Tuna Poke) - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Coming from the city where poke places are all the hype and little shops popping up left and right, I've grown to have quite high expectations of what makes a good poke bowl. This place definitely has a smaller selection than places I've visited in the city, but quality over quantity! The rice was not too hard nor too soft, and they did not overwhelm the bowl with rice like other places do. They were extremely generous with the protein portion, which is pre-seasoned unlike lots of other poke places. The fish selection was also insanely fresh, as were the toppings which are unlimited! I actually got my food to go and they were so generous with the portions that I couldn't even finish it all in one sitting, but I had it for dinner a couple hours later and everything still tasted great! For approximately $10 a bowl, you really get your money's worth. The service here was really friendly but still efficient. The place itself is really clean, with wiped tables, plenty of seating and cute insta-worthy walls. I would come eat here again! read more

Poke Nagomi - Build your own bowls (9.95 each!) - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

It costed around $10 for a protein bowl. I was very surprised because they actually give you a lot of protein compared to other places. Each bowl is 2 protein. and each serving of protein is 2 scoops! So 2 proteins is actually 4 scoops of fish, which was pretty awesome because I got a lot of fish. I got 2 servings of salmon, and it was nice because the fish was also in some sauce with a great scent of sesame oil as well. The toppings were good and they position it nicely on your bowl, and gives large heapings of it. I was really surprised at how much masago they gave me, because other places usually give you a sprinkle. The atmosphere is chic, with a cool neon sign in the store. There are several seats around, but probably not good for large groups. There is also free water and other side sauces available. Will definitely be back to get more poke bowls from here! read more

Poke Nagomi - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

A solid poke place! I can't really compare it to any other poke place since there are none in the area. Poke Nagomi is a build your own bowl style, kind of like Chipotle, priced around ~$10 for a bowl. There was a huge variety of toppings to cater to everyone's taste. The fish tasted fresh and they give a moderate amount. They share a space with Cambo Box, so everyone in your party can take their pick depending on their craving that day! I do like this place, but I wish it had the same Japanese chill vibes as Ramen Nagomi. The green leaf and neon sign display is cool, obvs good for the insta or Yelp profile pictures ;) and it is generally comfortable, but I wish they did a little more in terms of decor. Also, the day I went they played the music really loud and we had to move away from the speakers. read more

Poke Nagomi is okay. The staff is very friendly and service oriented. The food wasn't good however. There was a freshness missing in their poke from the fish to the various accoutrements. I was particularly disappointed with their salmon and spicy rump which were slimy. Not the texture I wanna be eating for raw fish. I think they have a okay start and will need to improve on the the quality of the food they serve in order to have sustained success. read more

One of the best newer eateries in New Brunswick, as the place is modern and the food is SO good. I recommend building your poke bowl, where you can choose two types of protein, and then essentially choose unlimited toppings and dressing (similar to chipotle). Getting the food is fast and it'll definitely fill you up (plus it's also so aesthetically pleasing!). I'm looking forward to continue eating here while I live in the area!! read more

Poke Nagomi - Poke Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

I discovered this place because of Cambo Box and what a pleasant surprise! Really enjoyed both of them and will definitely be coming back. Thrilled that New Brunswick has another poke spot. SERVICE - Friendly staff and manager, who graciously welcomed our feedback as the place just opened up a few weeks ago. DECOR/AMBIENCE - Very casual and chill with simple and clean decor. The place is not huge but has a few tables and bar style seatings along the wall. Great for a quick lunch or takeout. FOOD - Fresh ingredients with nice chunks of fish. They do not have a pre-set menu (yet) so you're making your own bowl. The only downside is that they do not offer brown rice which is my usual go-to. Still delicious nonetheless! The fiance (who's a poke enthusiast) loved it. PRICING - $10 a bowl with 2 proteins and unlimited toppings (some with additional cost) read more

Something you should maybe know about me--if I could only ever have one type of food ever again in my life, I'd choose poke bowls. ...So imagine my joy when I discovered that a poke place opened up super super close to where I work!!! (Well, joy for my tastebuds--not so much for my wallet.) This is the most reasonably priced poke in the area that I've found thus far, which definitely makes me happy! There are tons of different toppings and sauces that you can choose from, and you get a good amount of protein for the price that you pay. It comes to about 10 bucks for 2 different proteins and unlimited toppings (unless you opt for the premium toppings). I went with a half & half mixed greens and rice base with salmon + spicy tuna, seaweed, cucumber, edamame, corn, ginger, scallions, topped with ponzu sauce, furikake and crispy onions. Worth it. The staff is friendly and service is pretty quick! They share the same space as Cambo Box, which my friend has ordered from multiple times (she's on a mission to try everything on the menu). read more

Update! They now have these noodles you can get as a base that are low on the glycemic index and perfect for someone like me who has to watch their sugar//carb intake! The ingredients continue to be fresh and the staff continue to be super friendly and great at making the bowls! read more

Easily some of the best poke in NJ but also around. One of the few places I order the spicy crab because it's fresh. Great portions and the staff is always nice. Their specials are always tasty and they're beyond reasonable. My go to is usually tuna and salmon (both very fresh). read more

Absolutely the best poke in the area- we order take out from here at least twice a month. Usually the Nagomi Signature Poke Bowl (salmon & spicy tuna) and the Omega Signature Poke Bowl (double salmon). The fish and ingredients are always fresh and the portions are super generous. Definitely one of the more healthful fast/casual dining options around. Ordering is quick and easy at pokenagomi.us and it remembers my prior orders so reordering is a snap. We get notifications when our order is received and when it's ready for pickup. Our orders are always ready on time and always complete. Parking is a challenge though cuz downtown New Brunswick has closed a good portion of George Street for outdoor dining, which means little to no parking on the street in that area. I usually go with someone- one to run in and pickup the order while the other stops at a hydrant. Well worth the effort! read more

Rice is very hard. Like rock hard. I went because Ramen Nagomi was closed earlier for something. Otherwise I would have eaten at Ramen Nagomi. It's very hard to enjoy your poke bowl when everything is overly salted while your rice is rock hard. This isn't sushi rice. The rice tasted like I was chewing on raw rice. Ramen Nagomi's way better. Their rice bowls taste fresh! read more

I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken Rice Bowl, Calpico Lychee, and Cookies & Cream Pocky Sticks. Loved everything!

Wish I could have tried the Lemongrass Beef Rice Bowl and Thai Iced Tea but they ran out; maybe next time when I'm in the area again. Highly recommended eatery, thanks. read more

Masago on top is really good! Unlimited toppings. Do I need to say more?! Just go! Go now! read more

Charged me 3.5 for smashed packaged avocado. Why be extra money when it's not even fresh.

Poke Nagomi can battle with the best of them.. at great prices. Option of buying real grated wasabi is super appreciated (though I'm pretty sure it's still the pre frozen kind?) and is a unique bonus, but the real treasure is that everything about the bowl was tasty and fresh... In fact so tasty that ordering the spicy aioli and the ponzu on top was a mistake on my part. Fish being pre marinated yet super fresh and lively, (same goes for the toppings) you really CAN get too much of an overpowered bowl here. As I lamented my mistake, I realized that underneath all the noise, I still heard the chorus of angels, resounding deep with every bite. After the flavor explosion subsided I was presented by our most gracious and charming pokehost, with a cooling rice pudding + mango chunks + coconut cream dessert (experimental item). Despite its unique combination of complementing flavors, its clever layering lacked a certain punch yet still worked as a soothing end... Like a soft snowfall when you were raring to go for a snowball fight. Poke Nagomi you have done right by me. Excelsior! read more

Yeah it's good. Fresh ingredients, good variety of toppings, generous quantities, efficient counter service, tastes are spot on. Location is a visible spot on George, but they could use a larger sign considering it's really two restaurants (other being Cambo Box) in one. Compares favorably to Okie Pokie in Highland Park in my opinion. Misses? They need to pipe in some air conditioning to this place. Even ventless units would help. My hope? Once this place establishes a larger clientele, that they open up a Nagomi restaurant somewhere in town...a visible, more upscale location to replace the current Ramen Nagomi and offer ramen, poke, sushi all in one spot. Keep this location for quick, cheaper lunches. read more
