    My Rice Bowl with Variety of Mixed-In Ingredients & Toppings
    Lonnie K.

    Conveniently located by the L train like a block away. They seem to have good business and I do see crowds gathering outside from Pokeworks during lunchtime. Fast service from friendly and helpful staff. It's a smaller space compared to the one in Herald Square, but there're still 5 seats on the side and 4 towards the front. You can either choose to make a sushi burrito or a bowl with white rice, salad, ramen noodles ($1.50 more) or brown rice. Sushi burrito can only be made with white rice by the way. There's also the option of making a bowl with only one protein (kid version) upon request from customers. You've the choice of getting pre-made options or creating your own regular (2 proteins) or large (3 proteins). Choice of proteins are: bang bang chicken, regular chicken, plain tofu cubes, spicy salmon sashimi cubes, regular salmon sashimi cubes, spicy ahi tuna sashimi cubes, and shrimps. Can get unlimited mixed-ins (variety of pickled fruits, veggies, and herbs) and selections of dipping sauces in the bowl or on the side. Customers can get unlimited toppings without any extra charge. Cards and cash are both accepted. Additionally, pressed sushi and side dishes of miso soup and garlic spam musubi are being sold on the menu. Customers can take it to go or dine in. Ice, water, and plastic cups are provided by self service next to the handcrafted lemonade drinks ($2.75). Don't start looking for a restroom because there isn't one. There's an automatic sensor hand sanitizer by the door. Utensils of forks, chopsticks, and spoons are neatly stacked alongside with napkins and straws. There're two outlets in the wall, so you can charge your phone while eating. I usually choose to create my own bowl because I like to add in a little bit of each toppings and mixed-in ingredients to get my money more worth it. Two proteins are already pretty fulfilling and definitely enough for me since three proteins would be way too full. Love how fresh and tender the raw fish usually tastes....just like love in every bite! White rice is fluffier in texture compared to brown rice as it tends to be harder.

    I order Spicy Ahi for delivery. Tuna is fresh, sauce is good, nice combination. I try custom poke bowl before and somehow it just didn't come out right so this time I just decided to pick one that they already create and it is one of their popular menu.

    Fresh tasting poke was made to order. Staff was friendly and available to answer questions for us 1st timers. Brightly lit and clean inside. Good for lunch. Easy to find off L train line.

    When I was working in Williamsburg, I ordered from here several times (through the app and in person) and it's been great. The portion size is great. The fish is fresh and nicely cut. The staff has always been efficient and friendly. There is plenty of space to sit and eat (though may not be the most comfortable). I normally get the poké bowl with shrimp and salmon as my proteins. You can't go wrong with both of those. The sauces are flavorful and you can go with however much you want (though 2 might be enough). The variety of different mix-ins and flakes is more than plenty. In one meal, you'll be satiated. Also, recommend getting the Pokeworks app so you can earn rewards and random discounts.

    Ambiance-- warm lighting and very clean.

    Favorite poke spot in Willyb and I suppose, all of Brooklyn! Always friendly staff, clean and tidy environment. Fresh tuna & salmon. Great bowl every time.

    Love this poke place!!! Poke is basically raw fish but cut into little chunks. You basically create your own custom poke bowl. I got a poke bowl with 2 proteins (I picked salmon) and then you can pick from a bunch of toppings. I got edamame, seaweed, seaweed, etc. Then I got the spicy aioli sauce (note there is a good kick to this). Everything was so fresh and delicious!!! Portion size is decent, I was full but not super full. I ordered via Uber Eats and my food was delivery fast and fresh! I wish I lived closer to this. There are multiple locations. I would def come back!

    Pokeworks is my go-to poke place in Williamsburg. The portion sizes are healthy, the fish is always fresh, and the staff have always been great. I've ordered in store and via delivery and it's always super consistent, which is really nice. I also really like that they have a lot of sauce options and they allow you to choose your sauce level, which isn't the case at a lot of poke places.

    Poke burrito: seared salmon

    Poke burrito: loose, falling apart; unevenly distributed toppings Cucumber: limp, slimy Avocado: very little, only in two spots Rice: slightly stale; plain, not sweet/acidic (not a con, just a note)

    Leemor Y.

    Very solid poke place. You can still go in and order during COVID, though there is no outdoor seating. My favorite is just creating my own custom bowl. I'll typically do a bowl with salmon, shrimp and/or tuna, and layer on lots of the toppings (don't miss the yellow radishes!). Definitely get some poke and sauce as well. I usually combine it with the spicy ponzu.

    I've been back here a few times since my review in June 2024. The service and the food has…read moredeclined over time since then. This time I had the mushroom and onion hummus, which was a little watery and only came with one small piece of pita for a large bowl. I also got the fries, which are still actually pretty good. The reason for the steep downgrade aside from the dwindling food quality and the so-so drinks, is the service this time was just ATROCIOUS. Bushwick service has gotten kinda cruddy overall these days because so many places have this transplant hipster vibe where they just can't be bothered, but this guy acted annoyed and put out to even be there. It was not great last time, but this time was astonishingly bad. He took my order and as soon as my food came out, he disappeared behind a screen and didn't come back out unless someone came in the door (which was only a couple times). Never checked on me. Never asked if I wanted another drink (my mint julep was awful, so moot point I guess). I had to wait for him to emerge when a to go order came in for me to flag him down for the check. Probably the last time I come back here.

    Restaurant was decorated and music was kinda loud so it was hard to hear someone across from me…read more They later dimmed the lights and had candles which was nice. Staff were nice and attentive. The hummus and falafel plate was good. I really liked the rice and veggies - the flavors paired well. Maybe too much hummus for the portion ratio? Decent price for what you're getting, maybe $40 including tax/tip(?) for two of these plates.

It was a busy day but my food still came out within 10 minutes. And good thing too because I was starving. I got the pollo arepa and pollo empanada. Looovveee how soft the pollo empanada is... it's so dang fluffy. That was my first time having an empanada with that kind of dough. I have to say that I prefer it. Wish Filipinos used that dough when we make our empanadas. lol. The pollo arepa was everything!!! I had never had an arepa until the day I had one here. The meat was seasoned so nicely in their tomato based sauce. And the actual arepa... soft yet had a bit of a crunch. It was the perfect textures for me. I also enjoyed their soursop juice. It paired perfectly with my meal. My friend got the pernil arepa and was impressed by the taste and the green sauce. I didn't get much information out of him other than it was hitting the spot lol. Definitely a solid place to go in the area. It's kind of medium sized in there but there is plenty of seating if you're with a party no bigger than 3 or 4 people. I think most people come in here for a grab and go situation. But it's cool to hang around to watch the kitchen at work and hear the music.

Having visited L'Industrie earlier in the week, which I absolutely LOVED, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the pizza slices here to be quite comparable in taste, quality, and size. It's also a very bright, open, warm, and welcoming space within. Service was prompt and efficient, if not a tad bit curt...although I give them grace...considering the fact we were visiting late at night around 2am. Anyways...if it was THAT good when we went in the middle of the night...I feel I can confidently recommend this spot as great for grabbing pizza slices. It's definitely worth a visit, in my book!
