    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.

    Ordered the Hawaiian Poke Bowl and it was fresh and delicious. The shop is very bright and the staff is super friendly. Excited to explore their menu!

    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)

    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.

    Very disappointed with this spot and was rudely accused of not paying the bill!…read more Came here extremely excited to try out their birthday cake tiramisu and check out the restaurant in general since it had been on my list for a while. While the place is pretty cute aesthetically, the service was awful. I had made a reservation since that's what's recommended by the establishment and everyone we interacted with was pretty unpleasant. In addition, the cake tasted old and so freezer burnt that we had one bite and discarded the rest. Nothing about it was appealing. Worst of all no one seemed to want to wait on us so we spent the whole time trying to flag someone down so we left cash on the table for everything and left. Dispute all this we decided to still tip 30% since our order was so small and we wanted to be courteous. 15 mins later I get an extremely rude phone call from the restaurant immediately accusing me of leaving without paying! They didn't even have the decency to check the table without immediately assuming and being unbelievable disrespectful. Still in disbelief about the entire experience, would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

    Have had the pleasure of dining at La Cantine a few times now and can definitely say I have never…read morebeen disappointed by anything ordered. The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

It's clean, the guy working when I went in was blazed out of his mind. So no true interaction just a glazed over stare and then movement. I'd try it out again.

Being Angelenos, it's VERY hard to find ANYTHING that is open IN-STORE after 10 or 11pm...even on the weekend!! We were so happy to find this establishment while walking between bars and starting to feel very hungry! Also, it doesn't hurt that the pizza here is also EXCELLENT! 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!
