    Amazing fresh fish and very fast service, they have such good prices for the amount of food they give you, and the block itself is such a wonderful place to go with your friends. So sad it's closing end of August :(

    We're been coming to the Block for years. Great food and good vibes ! Sooo sad they're closing end of August

    This poke is sooo delicious! I can be particular about my poke (as I previously lived in California and have had some of the best in Hawaii as well) - and I love this place. Highlights: - Fast service (did an order for pick up, was ready when it said it would be) - Large portion size!!! Hell ya!!! - Fresh tasting fish and ingredients in general I can't wait to return for more - and my partner wanted it again the very next day after we tried it, lol.

    I really like their bowls. However it is without fail they will forget a sauce. I have since ordered at least a dozen more times and I want to say every single time they forget one or both sauces. It's ridiculous. Bad service and they also sometimes give attitude if you ask for the sauces. It's unacceptable.

    This should be a 4 or 5 star review, but this isn't about the food. The food is great. The ordering process isn't that bad! God forbid you order two of something, they will only make one and then NOT PICK UP THE PHONE. Shouldn't be that hard to answer the phone to straighten these things out, but they don't. And they don't return calls. So if you're going to order, do it IN PERSON.

    Little salad and almost no fish salad bowl (missing mango, edamame, sweet onions and kale)

    Honestly it's embarrassing leaving bad reviews, because it looks like you are whining and complaining for something so little, but the quality of the bowls and the whole "pick-up" order system, clearly is not working. 3 orders in a row have been served mediocre. First order (3 weeks ago): - No toppings on my husband's Poke Bowl with rice (only the corn and edamame). - They did not pack the sauces. Ended up making some homemade teriyaki sauce for our bowls. 2nd order (last week): - Served my husband's rice bowl in a salad? (I usually order the salad) - Gave us a randomize button bowl: chicken and shrimp rice bowl???? (I'm pescatarian) so have to gave this one to my husband and I ate his spicy salmon only (he ordered both spicy tuna and salmon). Both these orders were placed through Uber Eats (1st one was a Store Pick-Up and the 2nd one a Delivery). Yesterday, we decided to have a poke again, because we enjoy the freshness of the fish, quality of the toppings and the creative sauces. I ordered through their mobile app/website for pick-up, trusting they will do it fine, yet another disappointment, after seeing they did not make my order right again... missed the edamame, kale/sweet onions, mango, little lettuce (had to chop some Romain lettuce and add some leftover canned tuna to pack it more). I'm glad I requested another sauce, since they usually forget about them... I will recommend for this location, to order to go in store, and watch intently how they craft your order so they don't miss horribly like they do when they are making the "online" order. 4 for Food quality and flavor 2.5 for Online Service You guys are not doing me a favor, I'm paying for an okay meal... I should not be adding to my bowl stuff at home because it takes the whole purpose of "ordering in because I don't want to cook".

    This was an awkward experience. The method you must order is a bit complicated if you don't want one of their premade bowls. The kids working here have W aura. They really helped me understand the menu. It's in a food hall, so be prepared to question your decision to order here, as there seems to be plenty of cool spots within the same room. I got mine to go. The edamame Isa's a bit hard. The tuna was under-marinated. But it was still pretty good value as the price wasn't overly-expensive. Probably would have to try a few other spots in the food hall before I'd say whether I'd go back or not.

    I like the food here, kind of regular here but the service is alright. I guess cos all the kids working here so they dont really care about service. Some day I got there the worker dont even say a word to me during our transaction.

    On a summer Friday night, we decided to go to the local food hall. It's a great vibe: live DJ, a bar, and a few food outlets, including Pokeworks. It's your typical poke setup, with signature items or a BYO: I always do a BYO. Great selection. Friendly employees. Quick service. Definitely worth a return!

    I recently discovered poke and it doesn't have to have raw salmon or tuna. I was able to order online to pick up. It wasn't bad but I just didn't like the flavors. Pick up was quick and easy. My only other issue was I ordered Musubi and it wasn't with my order. The receipt said cancelled but the staff could've made me aware so that I could've potentially ordered something else as it was for my kids.

    Just ordered delivery through the app and was ripped off. Ordered a large poke bowl and a garlic spam musubi. Spent $20 on a small portioned "large" poke bowl and a missing garlic spam musubi. Had to pay an extra $6 for service and fees on an order that took more than an hour long. Tried to call the place multiple times to see if I could get a refund and was sent to voicemail because their "phone line was down." Also tried to see if Pokeworks customer support had a phone number to call, but they don't have a phone line either.

    Great poke bowls, fresh rice, fresh ingredients, generous servings, fast and friendly service. Been here several times and I keep coming back! The dinning area is shared with other restaurants in what's called The Block; a food court concept. It's great food in a nice communal setting.

    I haven't been for a bit and they were running a Mother's Day special, 20% off...who doesn't love that! As always, they never disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. The Block was busy and it wasn't even noon yet. Food was fresh and kept well until the next day.

Plenty of specialty rolls and kitchen food! The spicy pork belly is delicious but it'll fill you up if you don't have a group with you. I think the best thing to do is to come with 4 or more who love to eat and everyone order in agreement and eat a little of every roll and kitchen food. It's just too much for 2 people. The servers are extremely helpful in suggesting what are their best dishes. But make sure you get the premium nigiri... the rest is just filler.

It should be noted the menu is a little pricey but well worth it especially if you are celebrating a big occasion. We were very impressed with the menu offering and absolutely had to get the Kobe Beef because there are only a handful of places you can get Kobe beef served with this type of quality. They present the certificate of authenticity which really adds to the experience. The beef was cooked delicately with a light sear and served medium rare which goes the perfect buttery bite. Highly recommend. We also got the pork jowl and the kurobuta pork belly. Normally the pork belly is a bit but it was pretty average so I'll probably pass next time. The pork jowl was really tasty and had a nice bite. You can just eat meat if you want to get the full experience. We highly recommend the steamed egg as well as the tuna with taro chips for the perfect balanced meal. Can't say enough great things about this place... looking forward to coming again!

If I were to compare them with clothing brands, the top tier restaurants would be akin to Hermès: impeccable, yes, but you're refinancing your apartment just to sit at the counter. Takumi is Ted Baker: genuinely refined, quietly stylish, and doesn't require a second mortgage to appreciate. The fish is flown in fresh daily. There is no cream cheese within a 50-foot radius of this kitchen. No yum yum sauce. No roll named after a questionable life decision. Just pristine fish doing pristine fish things. The menu is tight -- bento boxes, focused apps, nothing that needs a paragraph of explanation. The fried oysters and squid tentacles are mandatory. Non-negotiable. Do not test me on this. Then the subtle flex begins: yuzu, truffle, shiso placed with quiet confidence, mango puree that sounds wrong and tastes right, an Old Bay finish that would make Maryland weep with pride, and a Kalamata olive that has absolutely zero business being this good on a sushi menu -- and yet. This is a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing and doesn't need your validation. For top tier sushi in Falls Church, go with Takumi if you skew towards traditional, go to Yume if you prefer modern more creative options.
