Ordered pick up through their own website and pick up was pretty quick and friendly. I built my own bowl with spicy tuna, salmon, and scallops as protein, with purple rice and mixed greens as my base. I enjoyed it and this place will be put into regular rotation, esp as I live nearby. Looking forward to trying the ramen, too.

It's a great option if you're trying to get a balanced meal in, with plenty of protein and veggies depending on how you build it and what sauce you choose. I also appreciated how fast everything was: no line when I went on a Saturday around lunchtime, and I got my food quickly. Highly recommend adding the fried onions. They add a really nice crunch that takes the bowl up a notch. As for the fish, the quality is decent for a poke spot. It's not mind-blowing, but definitely good enough to satisfy a craving. Overall, a convenient, healthy-ish lunch spot that I'd come back to.

Mammoth Poke has become one of my regular lunch spots in West Town, and after coming here multiple…read moretimes, I can honestly say they've earned my repeat business. It's refreshing to find a place that's just as consistent on the tenth visit as it is on the first. The quality of the ingredients, the generous portions, and the friendly service keep bringing me back. My go-to order is the custom five-protein bowl, and it's one of the best values I've found for poke in Chicago. I love being able to mix and match different proteins depending on my mood, and every scoop has always tasted incredibly fresh. The fish is vibrant, tender, and well-portioned--not buried under rice or fillers like you find at some poke spots. Pair that with fresh toppings, flavorful sauces, and plenty of texture from ingredients like cucumber, avocado, crispy onions, and sesame seeds, and every bite feels balanced without being overwhelming. What also stands out is how customizable everything is. Whether I'm looking for something light and refreshing or a bowl packed with bold flavors, it's easy to build exactly what I'm craving. Even with five proteins, the ingredients stay distinct instead of blending into one another, which says a lot about the quality and preparation. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and inviting, with a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. The West Town location is convenient, and I've never had trouble finding it worth the trip. The staff has consistently been welcoming and efficient, patiently answering questions and assembling bowls with care rather than rushing through the line. That level of customer service definitely adds to the overall experience. One thing I really appreciate is the consistency. Too many poke restaurants start strong but become hit-or-miss over time. Mammoth Poke has remained dependable, with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavor every time I've visited. That's not easy to do, especially when you're serving raw fish. If you're looking for a poke spot in Chicago, Mammoth Poke absolutely deserves a visit. If it's your first time, I'd highly recommend building the five-protein bowl--it gives you the chance to sample a variety of flavors and really showcases the freshness of their ingredients. It's become one of my favorite healthy meals in the neighborhood, and I'll definitely continue coming back.

The fish is generally fresh and decent, and one thing I really like is the wide variety of toppings available. There are plenty of ways to customize your bowl, which helps keep things interesting even if you come here regularly. Overall, it's a very solid poke place and a reliable lunch choice. My only real complaint is the portion of fish. The regular bowl comes with three scoops of poke and costs around $16. At that price point, it would be nice to get a little more fish. Other than that, I've had consistently good experiences and will keep coming back.

I have ordered Poke Poke via delivery several times in the past and was always pleased with how…read morefresh everything was, so I decided to drop in for a dine-in visit after an ice skating session one day! It was very much between lunch and dinner time, so the restaurant was completely empty inside. My friend and I perused the menu board and eventually each decided to get a regular sized build-your-own bowl. In my poke bowl, I got spicy tuna, salmon, and scallop as the proteins and purple rice as the base. I really appreciate them allowing three different protein choices, variety is great! I then got an assortment of other toppings, including my favorites, fish roe and imitation crab. Everything tasted very fresh as expected, though I think in the future I'd rather get a 2nd portion of scallop instead of spicy tuna (just a personal preference). My friend dined outside the restaurant on the sidewalk since it was a nice day, and interestingly some birds came by and basically begged for food. The price is super reasonable for the quality and portions and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. More likely though, I'll order delivery again from them first!

From the moment you walk in, you get a warm Hawaiian vibe even in the middle of winter. It really makes you forget how cold it is outside. The staff member who helped us was incredibly kind and patient, especially with my sister, and I love the build-your-own bowl concept where you can customize everything to your liking. FYI everything is freshly prepared in-house. I ordered a regular bowl with rice and greens, tuna, spicy tuna, and tofu, then added toppings like kimchi, corn, carrots, ginger, cucumber, onions, and a crunchy topping. They finished it with garlic aioli and another sauce, so good! The garlic aioli was a standout. My mom ordered a similar bowl with tuna, spicy tuna, and cooked shrimp. She was pleasantly surprised by the value and kept saying how much she loved the food. The portions were generous, we even had leftovers to enjoy later. We also tried the spicy miso soup for dinner, and she loved that just as much. My baby sister kept it simple with rice and spam. She said she liked it, but true to her picky nature, she took one bite and that was it. Overall, a fantastic experience with fresh ingredients, great service, and generous portions. Highly recommend! Hope you check it out.

Granted the last time I went here was in 2019 to their old location just a few blocks up on Lincoln Avenue but it seems they got a corporate makeover after shutting down during the pandemic and rebranding. Maybe they have a new owner...? It's much more spacious and brighter with Herman Miller stool seats, a pinball machine and high ceilings. But with all of these new trendy upgrades it has lost its cozy, relaxing small business neighborhood vibe the old location had IMO. They added bubble tea and Mochi donuts to their menu. They also were playing rap & trap music and I honestly thought I had walked into the wrong place when I went in. Gone are the guys busy behind the counter. You order via an ordering kiosk (they seem to be popular with places cutting down on staff) made by one person behind the counter. My order was made quickly but I'm not really sure about the kiosk ordering system since you need to input your phone number. I ordered my favorite bowl of theirs, Jimmy's Creation. The first time I tried it in 2018 it was so good I nearly skipped out of the place and wanted to eat here everyday. It's still good but the rice is much more sticky, a little too sticky for my liking since I had to break it up into chunks with my chopsticks. The sauce was a bit too sweat also. Was it always this sweat...? A minor issue though based on preference I guess. I would probably return again but probably not go out of my way and trek through a snow storm like I did once years ago.

There's a large number of ingredients and sauces that don't always taste the best together. I did appreciate the menu with steps to orde. It helped my husband who doesn't get poke as often to decide. My 2 cents: a preset poke bowl menu and pictures might help the ordering go more smoothly. The Tuna and Salmon were good, the shrimp was miniscule. Sushi rice was delicious and overall it felt like a nice healthy and fresh meal. Poke is overall expensive so portions were on par with other locations. I think its the lack of marinating the protein or sauces that are lacking in flavor. There was a variety of texture but no saltiness or spiciness or umami flavoring to offset the blandness or the veggies and protein. Interestingly enough, the spam musubi was one of the best I've had in a while. I loved the egg addition to the 2 slices of spam and warm rice. I would return for several spam musubis and if I'm craving something lighter to eat.
