Part 2 of 2 for P in current alphabet series: P is for Pokerea: I first visited on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. I had work travel to Caroline County, VA. On the way back I got a movie on my AMC A-List at AMC Potomac Mills, then walked around the mall & debated what I was going to eat for dinner, there was still traffic getting back to MD and would've been 9 before getting home, and looked at the food court and decided to try the Poke place, Pokerea. Staff was friendly, an assembly line of various ingredients to choose from like other Poke places, and I was amazed at how good this place was. This is the best Poke I've had in the DC area, and it's in a mall food court! Coincidentally, the other time I visited was a Wednesday too. My girlfriend & I were traveling back from Myrtle Beach, SC on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. We got to the mall in time to eat dinner before the movie we wanted to see with a little bit of time to spare to walk around the mall in addition to simply eating. I told her how great Pokerea was. Everything was just as great as I remembered, and she thought it was great too. If I'm back down that direction, I'd definitely be back. read more

Pokerea - Yummy. I treated myself to Komma Boba Tea in the mall too in October 2023 - Poke Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Yum Poké! The salmon was very decadent and I loved how fresh everything tasted. I am very particular with poké because bad bowls can be traumatizing but they served super fresh and yummy salmon. I will be back for more! read more

Pokerea - Create your own Poké bowl - Poke Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Really good Bowls, tried for the first time a couple months ago and was amazed by how fresh and healthy the food tasted! Service was great, got attended quick and you can see them preparing your order! Vibe/ambience was to be expected, it's a food court in the mall after all, overall definitely recommend the bowls if you're in the mood for chipotle and Korean! read more

Rating based on food court cuisine. The ramen noodles looked like the type you get in the packets at the grocery store and they were a tad undercooked. Beside that it was good. Plenty of flavor which surprised me and they didn't skimp on the bulgogi. The service was decent and it took a while to prepare and I have the feeling it was "freshly" made CC save came out piping hot. I would try it again if I'm in the mall. read more

Pokerea - Korean-Style Ramen w Bulgogi - Poke Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Pokerea is a poke and ramen eatery, located as part of the food court offerings at Potomac Mills. The hubs and I decided to give them a try after some shopping, and we ordered the Seoul Bowl - this came with a bowl of white rice, topped with bulgogi, Romaine lettuce, red onions, corn, a poached egg, sesame aiioli, sesame seeds, and crispy garlic. We also added both the spicy mayo and the gochujang aioli as the sauces, and added scallions and cucumbers as additional toppings. The bulgogi, surprisingly, had good flavor from its marinade; it was soft and tender, and there was a good serving of it in the bowl. The rice could have been prepared better, as it was more on the wet side. Definitely one of the better options at the food court. Service was quick and efficient. +signature rice bowls - try the bulgogi +efficient service +located at the food courts of Potomac Mills read more

Food Court fast food, didn't expect much. 2*Korean style Ramen with bulgogi: probably opened a bag of fast noodle package and added some hot water and meat 2*The Vine: tofu salad, the portion was very small, not enough for a filling meal. Taste was ordinary. read more

So yes I did not know a mall food court spot would be this good! But I tell you I was very surprised when I prefer off of Doordash because I was wanting some ramen. Yeah I know I could have went to the old trusty ramen we all have a pack of two in the pantry. But I wanted something more authentic and rich with flavor. So I ordered the Korean style ramen extra noodles and decided to try this sweet catch bowl. Doordash delivered but must have dropped my bag because the bowl was all smashed together and leaking out the bag. Other than that the food was very tasty. Now it coming from the food court I had to stop by today to fool inside because I wanted that bowl again. The worker who made my bowl was nice, attentive, and fast. I added some green onions to the mix and extra crispy garlic. I love me some garlic kind of wish he could have given me a little bit more. Only complaint I would have is you get a lot of rice but the protein raw salmon and tuna is a very small portion. Probably would have to pay extra for additional portions. But for $12 it's definitely worth it because it's a great way to eat a little bit healthier and get full. Next time I will do the brown rice instead of all white to get a little added fiber. But it's a win win in my opinion! read more

Built my own bowl for takeout here and it wasn't the best one I've ever had but also not the worst. Ambiance: N/A - i ordered doordash so I wouldn't know Price: 3/5 - $16 for a bowl with tuna and bulgogi beef but an extra $1 for seaweed salad felt unnecessary Food: 2/5 - the bowl had way too much spicy mayo and their ahi tuna felt like it was old and not fresh at all. I didn't get rice in the bowl opting for lettuce instead but I feel like that was a mistake. Service: N/A - ordered doordash so hard to rate the service since i didn't eat in. Overall, it's a pricey spot for old ingredients and they charge for everything. read more

Good size portion. Price is like $12 something. Food is pretty good. Not the best, but maybe 7/10. I would def come back and try the chicken. Which looked very good, but I was told that the beef bulgogi was the popular option. read more

I tried the Seoul Bowl as described; actually, I asked for a few more shakes of garlic. It was tasty! The trend to scoop the meat without "juice/gravy" if you want some more flavor ask for it. You may have to speak up through your mask. The poached eggs are not runny. You may need to request one that has not been lounging in warm water. The yolk was firm. My niece customized her bowl. I didn't get a picture, but she reported the chicken was delicious. My son tried the Golden morning bowl, and the same as my niece, I was unable to secure a picture before the devastation. read more

Tried it for the first time today and absolutely love it! They have the poke bowls, ramen, and some other things. I got the poke bowl!

I cannot say anything the service but foot is very average. We ordered delivery. They did not put all the ingredients. Sweet catch is: 1 spoon of tune, one spoon of salmon, one spoon of Costco avocado paste, one spoon seaweed and half pound of rice. The Seoul Bowl: two spoons of meet, one spoon of salad and half pound of rice (they forgot half of ingredients). Even if you like rice, their rice is dry and no souse. Too pricey for this type and quality of food. Not ordering again. read more

I was able to order lunch through work and I was craving poke. I wanted to like this so bad but it was just not good. My poke bowl was drenched with so much sauce I couldn't even eat it. The cilantro tasted gross and I love cilantro. The dumplings were okay. read more

I felt so cheated. I paid $10+ for their Korean Ramen to find out that they serve you the $1.57 package of Nongshim Shin instant ramen that you can get at your local Walmart or Asian market. I saw the guy opened the package and seasoning and put it in the pot. Is this even legal to resell like that? read more

Great food & service! Quick quality authentic food! Stumbled across this place at the food court & it was just what I was looking for. Ingredients were fresh & it's a good way to get quality food fast. A better option than getting fast food. read more

Poke bowls with a nice korean twist. Ordered the Burning Love, Seoul Bowl, the Sweet Catch, and a Tonkotsu Ramen. The ingredient combinations of the bowls were tasty and flavorful, and the ramen was warm and filling, especially well-fitting for this cold season! read more

Such a disappointment. I love Poke, just NOT here. Their salmon was too hot to be raw and had a pale color to it. Not the bright color it's supposed to have. Their red onion wasn't cut all the way and their portion size was way too small. I was so excited for a poke place to open up in the mall but it saddens me that it was pretty disgusting. I know they just opened up but they should've made sure everything was 100% before they did. I won't be coming back. Sorry. I hope the poke place outside of the mall that's opening up soon doesn't have these same problems. read more

Firstly, the name of the establishment is fun; it just rolls off your tongue and the fact that they sell Korean food and ramen on top of the poke bowls is a unique plus. Secondly, the food was fresh and tasty. My wife and I came here on a Monday afternoon for lunch. We both ordered poke bowls with salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it. The customer service was good too. The owners seem to be a Korean married couple and they were very pleasant to the both of us. Lastly, I felt like the pricing was reasonable for the amount of food you get. A price range you would expect from an establishment like this. They have a lot of toppings and sauces you can choose from. Not the most dynamic of choices but enough to satisfy. Overall first impressions I give it 4 stars. I knocked off 1 star because of the limited choices of toppings. I have been to other poke bowl places that offered a great deal more for the same price. Other then that we really enjoyed our lunch and look forward to coming back to try other dishes and flavors. read more

For the love of ANYTHING consumable, DO NOT eat the fish from here. I got the Sweet Catch poke bowl and it was not good. The farthest thing from fresh. read more

I got the chicken ramen. It's pretty tasty for food court cuisine... the ramen was nice and chewy and the chicken broth was rich and flavorful. It was topped with teriyaki chicken, 1/2 seasoned egg, kamaboko, and green onions. The teriyaki chicken was a bit too sweet for me and some marinated bamboo shoots would totally be on point. If only I had a larger soup spoon to drink all the broth... read more

What a refreshing change to Potomac Mills Mall. There is a new restaurant called Pokerea which is a build a bowl that is trending in America. This restaurant offers your own build, signature bowls and Ramen. Large variety of toppings for all items and the owner and worker is super friendly.

I've been a loyal customer to Kokee Tea for years, so when I found out they opened a poké kiosk in the food court I knew I had to try it! My first impression was given by the workers-- so friendly and inviting. The food here is extremely affordable, especially compared to other ramen and poké places in the NoVA region. My food was filling and delicious, and I would definitely recommend going here! read more

Not gonna lie, I wanted to give this a higher rating because I love poke, but this places was a disappointment. They over-do it with the sauces. The fish had a smell to it that wasn't really fresh. The lettuce mix I had had browns spots cause it was going bad. And it's way too expensive for how little you get. And when I say little, I mean very very little. I had ordered two bowled, one with white rice and one with brown rice. Tell me why the white rice bowl came out with a normal portion of rice and the brown rice bowl had literally half a portion of rice. Though the bowls were the same size, the contents in the brown rice bowl was half the size of the other bowl. Despite them both having the same ingredients minus the type of rice!!!!! What the heck? Lord Jesus I won't be coming back. read more

Lunch time go to I honestly feel like a ramenjunkie how many time I grab lunch from there. Fantastic!!!

One of my new favorite places to get a quick meal. I always get their Sweet Catch and add Sriracha mayo. Portions are not huge but are just right. Fair pricing too! A bowl of poke is less than $10 read more

First time customer and made a delivery order. I took a chance and I'm glad I did! Purchased the Spicy Beef w/Bulgogi. My order arrived hot and it was incredibly tasty. You could taste the quality in the food and the presentation was spot on. Definitely glad I made the decision to purchase from this establishment and will most definitely become a regular customer! read more

This is a pretty good place. My two favorite dishes are the Soul Bowl and the Sweet Catch. The staffs are friendly and fast. My only complaint is their portions. Somedays, it a good amount. On other days, it less. I wish they can make it consistent. read more

1/10 I got ramen doesn't look like the picture on the broad I didn't think I was gonna get a real ramen bowl ... But I thought it would be better than instant ramen. broth is salty, pork has zero flavor, they didn't put seaweed in the bowl (not that would save the dish), lackluster read more

Poke was pretty nasty... hot rice, rare salmon... yuck. Haven't tried the other food.

Worst soup I ever test, couldn't eat the soup. I ask for chicken Ramen, unfortunately instead chicken I test synthetic fish soup.on top of that overpriced for what you really get. SORRY. I thought you can't go wrong with ramen soup, they prove me other wais. read more

I loved this place! In Woodbridge, there aren't many Poke places. But this one, appealed to my liking. I got the Salmon with Tuna and the meat was just right. Not too mushy not too fishy. It was fresh! The owner was very friendly, asking if our food was good and making sure my experience was great. Would for sure, come back! read more

Soup was really good, and the signature bowls were also really good. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the rice. It wasn't all that great but the other condiments on the bowl helped out the rice. Overall the food was really good and I'll definitely recommended it. read more

The beef dumplings are awesome! Andrew is very customer focused and remembers me and my order every time, even if I haven't been by for a minute. I appreciate the friendly service! Keep up the good work Andrew! read more

I ordered the same thing every time, but for some reason the store "Pokerea" decided to up-charge me more than 30% afterward. I didn't know I was up charged until I checked my email later on. This is a bad business practice, because of this, I will never eat at this place again. read more
