Meh. Very bland flavors, very underwhelming Tofu bowl. The staff member behind counter, was not friendly or welcoming. I greeted her with a, "Hi, How are you?" and received nothing back. Would not return for lackluster food and lackluster staff member. First impressions are everything. read more

Third time ordering ! Delicious but make sure of you order for pickup you check it ... they tend to forget toppings ! read more

See all

This is my new favorite dinner. They have zoodles, zucchini noodles. That way I can have pretty much only fish and veggies. So healthy and always fresh and delicious. The girls that work there are always really nice and everything is always ready when I preorder to pick up. I like that I can customize everything. I go here at least once a week. read more

Tried this place because we were in the mood for something new. So glad we did, delicious. Food is always fresh and ingredients taste so clean. So glad we stumbled across this place. read more

I used to love this place because I live down the block and they were the only place that served octopus BUT I wouldn't recommend wasting your money here at all! There fish is NOT fresh at all , especially the tuna, it has a really fishy funky taste to it. I had to throw my bowl out ! And when I called to get another bowl, I assumed I got a bad batch, they said there's nothing they can do and that they get their fish from RESTAURANT DEPOT! that's disgusting. Go spend your money where they get their fish from Hawaii and at least serve sushi grade fish! read more

Delicious!!!! Their house recommended spicy tuna bowl was awesome. Worth the trip. Only thing is he aware portions are small.

Very fresh and delicious. Ordered through yelp for pick up. It was ready before the promised time. Great portion size and options for toppings and add-ons. Will order again! read more

My husband and I have been looking for a place that does poke bowls and my husband found this place while working one day. We decided to try it but took our food to go since it is in the smaller side for seating. Their bowls are delish! You can either order one of their bowls or make your own. We took our food home and wished we had another...it was that good! Definately going back! read more

This place was ok. Went there on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded but there was only one person working there so it did take a long time to get my order. Food was ok in general. read more

I happened to see this place yesterday for the first time and knew I wanted to try it. I ordered take-out on-line and absolutely loved it! The bowls are not very large and at first I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but honestly, it was delicious and there was a lot of fish in there. I was stuffed when I finished. I also tried the crab salad and enjoyed that as well. I will definitely be returning! read more

I've visited Poketo many times and always enjoy my poke bowls! The fish is very fresh, and I especially like their salmon and yellowtail. Salad, brown rice, white rice, and zucchini noodle base options are available. I like the yuzu and ponzu sauces best for a healthy meal. Good topping options and prices! read more

I read about this place on Newsday and was excited to try the food. I ordered a sushi burrito with ahi tuna, salmon, eel with various vegetables. It came with two sauces in which I chose the spicy mayo and house dressing. When I had my first bite I was very happy with taste. Big portion with large chunks of fish. It was a little expensive in my opinion but I do intend to go back. read more

Simple, fresh and flavorful ingredients make these bowls a fast/healthy option. Keep coming back for the endless possible combinations.

They open whenever , run out of ingredients, fish is tasteless . Long wait , I doubt they will be in business for much longer unless they add other offerings and get act together . Pretty good poke . The veggies could stand to be a little more fresh like the carrots were a bit dried out and the cucumbers slightly soggy . The salmon was very good . The sauce was also really goo read more

If you are looking for a great Poke meal, Poketo is a go-to Long Island shop. The establishment has taken rigorous safety precautions for COVID which assure your food is safe. I enjoyed my medium Chicken and Shrimp bowl. It was the perfect size for a dinner portion. The protein and the vegetables were fresh. Would recommend highly! read more

Poketo is a great option for fresh poke. All the fish I've had has been really good. I especially enjoyed the yellowtail (which most poke places don't have!) and the salmon. There are plenty of options for toppings, but the sauces are a little lacking, especially if you don't like the mayo based sauces. The prices are very fair as well. I haven't been disappointed yet, but the only negative thing I have to say is none of the options are necessarily unique. I wish they did something different from the rest of the poke restaurants I've been to in the area. But for now it's definitely the best poke option in the area. Definitely recommended! read more

I hate to disagree with my friend Paula Jean K below (because she's usually right on the money) but Poketo is close by and a no brainer for a quick light takeout dinner. Be advised...None of these local poke bowl places match up to what you get in Hawaii....but there's enough selection of stuff on the counter to find a mix that'll keep you happy. Looks like poke is the new hamburger joint. They're popping up everywhere. Give it a whirl. read more

This is my fifth time here and I must say it's fantastic. Quick lunch and super tasty. I usually build my own bowl and all the ingredients are super fresh. It's a must go. read more

Love it!!! New, clean, super fresh, open late, literally not one bad thing to say. Poke bowls are amazing, healthy, super fresh, you can create your own by choosing your own ingredients. I really hope it stays around a long time. There is nothing like it in the area. read more

This place is clean and good, it is sort of like a Asian chipotle for seafood lovers. Pick your bowl and enjoy

I placed an order for delivery and my food arrived super early and I didn't even hear the door or answer the phone because I didn't realize. After all that time the woman who delivered my food still came back to give me my food and the food was great. I am so excited to order again. Thank you! read more

Great food, and very nice employees. And a great get and go spot but I wouldn't recommend if you wanted to sit down and eat. They have table, but I never see people sitting at them. read more

Quite satisfied. Good fresh poke. It's good to see the west coast craze has come east!

One time there was a fly in my bowl, they didn't seem too surprised about it. Another time they charged me for double protein because I said I didn't want too much rice, I never mentioned wanting extra of anything. Not worth it. read more

Amazing poke bowls! I always go here. It's affordable and everybody who works there is always super nice. I highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious, I got spicy tuna and crab with mango and cucumber! Very fresh and clean! Can do any substitutions too. Will definitely be back. read more

Poketo - Japanese Near Me - Merrick, New York

I really enjoyed my poke bowl from Poketo. There are many options to personalize and customize a bowl to your liking. You have the ability to choose from many different types of Proteins, sauces, veggies and garnishes. I went with brown rice in my bowl, but plan to try the zucchini next time for a lower carb option. Yummy, tasty, and filled me up. I will def go back! read more

Love this place. Everything is very fresh and the place is spotless. I highly recommend

Best Poke spot on Long Island! Fresh fish and veggies. Generous portions! Clean and also has a very friendly staff!

I order from here all the time. Really fresh and you get a good amount of food. It's always consistent which is why I keep going back. I only ate inside once but it was also a good experience. Highly recommend. read more

Restaurant seemed new and clean. I ordered the large pokeb bowl with salmon, tuna and eel with house dressing. When I tried the salad the fish had no taste. Ive had poke many times before elsewhere and it always was flavorable and the fish always tastes fresh. To make matters worse later on that evening I began to feel sick in my stomach. read more

I decided to try this new place out while visiting some friends on Long Island. We tried a pokebowl with Tuna and Salmon with the house dressing on top. Well, it looked great but unfortunately both me and my wife got really sick and it wasn't pretty! It's a shame, because I really wanted to like this place but I don't think the fish that I had was fresh. read more

I loved this place so much, I've already ordered from here 3 or 4x. Sadly, they've already gone down hill. So soon?!?! Last night, I got a couple bites of tuna that tasted off. Never been so sick from food in my life. read more

Finally got to eating at Poketo today. I was surprised on how good the food tasted. The small bowl gives you two proteins along with rice for $10.95 and a lot of different options. I had the spicy tuna and spicy salmon with white rice and a bunch of different things. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. The only thing I would do different in this place is have some tables. I am not a fan of the seating arrangements in Poketo. read more

This place may be edible ... but for how they treat their employees..... disgraceful. I saw the owner pocket all the tips and the hardworking high school students looked so disappointed. A business rating in my opinion is connected to how they treat their employees. I was horrified at how this person spoke to their employees and how they acted towards their staff as a whole. This place doesn't deserve your business .... so unfortunate. JM read more

A perfect quick lunch! Great variety of fresh fish and toppings. Not sure why so empty on a Saturday at lunch. My son loved it after the ACT's read more

Food is great. Prefer the Large bowl and the portion is much bigger. Eel is excellent along with the salmon. Great choice of healthy mixins. Please continue to improve on the efficiency of the service and train the staff, as I would like to see this place last. read more

I was so excited for this to open and I've been waiting to eat here since the sign went up. Tonight I went with my friend and we both got different combinations but we each got sick within an hour of eating. I should've read the reviews before walking in because someone else posted that they got sick after eating here earlier today. Very disappointed! read more

Was just waiting an hour for delivery and called to check on the status. Spoke with an associate who didn't speak English very well and informed me that their website was broken so they didn't receive the order. Awful service -- if your website is broken, take it down or call customers to alert them their order is not processed so they are not waiting for delivery. Now to just deal with getting the refund... read more

I've been waiting for a Poke restaurant to open up. A change from our sushi ordering. My husband and I ordered online from Poketo on a regular Thursday night. After one full hour I called to ask where the food was. The girl was giggling on the phone...odd. She verified what my order was and then said "sorry we only have two people working tonight". NOT MY PROBLEM. I asked how much longer until the order got to our home. She said 10 minutes. Well another 25 minutes went by until she showed up AFTER the place closed...10:15pm she rang my doorbell. We refused the order at this point. Disgraceful. Too bad because I wanted to try it out, though, after reading some of the other reviews, seems like the food is mediocre at best. read more
