    Worst poke bowl I've had in a long time! Stodgy rice, old tuna, lacking sauce, and underwhelming overall presentation.
    Sara G.

    I'm so disappointed! I've come to this location specifically for months straight because I was confident it was the best location in town- always so friendly, fresh and clean... but suddenly the quality of service, freshness of fish, and overall cleanliness of the restaurant have decreased substantially! The manager had his paperwork sprawled out all over one of the tables, he was yelling across the restaurant at four new hires who were more concerned with their own conversation than the customer in front of them, and the food stations were unkept - everything mixed together and bits and pieces between the separated sections. I usually eat at the location quietly, but I felt the need to say something to the team about how uncomfortable they were making their customers. Instead of owning up to their poor quality of service, they teamed up against me and bullied me out of the restaurant, honestly they should all be fired! They need to get their shit together!! Never going back :(

    $27 for this??

    Just paid $27 for the smallest poke bowl I've ever seen. I got salad as the base and they're being stingy on lettuce??? I used to order from here all of the time, but clearly they're gone down hill. Save your money -and order go somewhere else.

    5 Star ***** Service "SHOUT OUT" to Christian for helping me put together my first poke bowl at Pokeworks! I was craving sushi for lunch and decided to try this place. When I first walked in...I can't lie, I was intimated looking all the choices...LOL Anyway, I asked about the bowls and how to put one together and Christian explained the setup what to add etc. He even let me taste the spicy tuna which I loved!! Nice change from the usual lunch suspects. I'll be back to try another bowl to see if I can top the deliciousness I just experienced today. Support local and let's keep their place alive and well.

    The best poke place in town!

    The staff is nice and the food is fresh. The large leaves me really full so the regular should be fine. I always make my own and throw in everything that's not fried. The torch option is nice for people who are scared of raw fish. Poké places have popped up all over town and have come and gone in the last few years, but this is my happiest poké find.

    Eh good but not as good as the Yale location. Food tasted fine even though I was a bit reluctant to eat it. I tried not to eat the half part of my bowl where the guys shirt kept sweeping over my food. It grossed me out thinking it's the same shirt he goes to the bathroom with. Yuck touching my food.. when he grabs the toppings or items that's further away he reaches over on a way that his shirt sweeps over part of my bowl and touches the food. I kept staring at his shirt but I don't think he even noticed that it sweeped over and touched the food multiple times:( the drink options here aren't as good as then other location. Their bathroom door is also not fixed and has a sign that says to knock since the lock isn't working properly...

    A coworker recommended this place and was excited to try it. When I got there the place was nice and it had a good amount of people which game me hopes. Once I got my food and began to eat it, all the hopes disappeared. The food was bland and very sticky. The rice would clump and soak any flavor the bowl had. I wasn't able to enjoy even half of it with any good bites. It was since to try but probably won't come back

    I honestly love all Pokeworks locations. This one has plenty of room, very clean and very bright inside. I always love their options for the poke bowls. I normally get regular size with sushi rice and that comes with 2 meats...it's very filling. They have several sauces to choose from, toppings, and extras. Most are free, except for avocado is extra. Service was good, employees were friendly... Great either option for "fast" food.

    LOVEEEEEE the poke here!!…read more At Okome Don, they give you the option to pick from 3 different proteins (I usually get salmon, shrimp, and crab meat) for only like 11 bucks bro!!! There is a larger one with like 5 scoops, but I usually just get the 3 scoop :D They have a variety of different sides that you can add into your poke like edamame, avocado, corn, green onion, fried onion, etc etc! Every poke order (or order in general idk) comes with a complimentary miso soup, which is such a nice touch with the poke! All of the times that I have gotten poke here, was amazing! The quality is fresh and always tastes great! Always has me wanting more LOL!!! Every time I've come here as well, there was almost always no line at all so I was able to order fairly quickly and get my food fast!

The protein portions felt very small, especially when compared to the amount of rice provided. I definitely wish the protein-to-rice ratio was a bit more balanced. The miso soup fell a bit flat--it was on the saltier side and lacked overall depth of flavor. A great spot if you want a clean environment and quick service with fresh ingredients, but don't expect heavy portions on the protein.

Some pros include good service, an efficient ordering system (you can fill out a small slip of paper at the front of the restaurant), and the unique oil selection option. But unfortunately, my biggest gripe was their food. Upon receiving my order, my roommate noted how small the bowl was. While size didn't matter (initially), they gave me way more rice than protein, and by the end of my meal, I found myself having to supplement my leftover rice with my own protein. A small bowl was 3 scoops of protein (I requested 2 scoops of spicy tuna and 1 scoop of spicy yellowtail), but frankly, they were a bit stingy with their portions because it did not seem like 3 scoops. I felt that paying $14 for how much I was getting turned me off. Furthermore, my roommate and I agreed that the sauces and how the fish was seasoned were more salty than spicy. I requested 2 types of spicy raw fish and a spicy aioli sauce and still found the spice to be subtle, almost nonexistent. In addition, some premium ingredients, such as Masago and Seaweed Salad, would have been free elsewhere. Overall, I was unsatisfied with my experience and unsure if I'd return. While taste is subjective, I'd suggest improving portion sizes by fixing the rice-to-protein ratio; past reviews have expressed similar sentiments, so I know I'm not alone in feeling like the portions are absurd. Also worth mentioning is that they give free dessert (ube, matcha, and pandan rice crispies) if you leave a Google review, which I feel could skew the ratings.
