I went in to this particular restaurant because they were making plant based spam musubi! I'd seen these recipes all over social media and I was eager to try them for myself. I went in to order them, and the kiosk in their store made it easier to order. The musubi was done differently than I would have envisioned but it was tasty. I have ordered food from this establishment via door dash and it was okay but not life changing. My current rating only speaks to the availability of this place as an option but not quite the option that I would jump to. I definitely think you should try it for yourself! read more

Pokeworks - Omnipork musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Mountain View, California

I was craving poke over the weekend and decided to try this place based on the reviews. I walked in and ordered at their self ordering stations. Even though they have hand sanitizer out, it would be nice if they sanitized the ordering stations more often as I noticed it wasn't super clean and you can definitely feel that when ordering at the station. The food itself was delicious. I ordered a regular poke bowl and was excited to see that I could order two scoops of crab without extra charge. The fish tasted fresh and I loved the wide variety of toppings. The seaweed salad was also included which I like because I never like spending extra for the basics that most poke places include for free. One thing that bothered me was that you can only choose one type of sauce to mix in with your poke. While you can indicate if you want more or less sauce mixed in, it was $0.75 per each extra sauce on the side. I enjoy mixing sauces together, so I felt that having one was limiting and had to spend extra to get a 2nd spicy sauce to mix in. Besides that, I had an overall pleasant experience. There's no dining in store (or even space to dine in store), but they have a lot of outdoor seating in front of the restaurant which makes up for it. read more

I wish I could give a 0. I almost never write reviews. 1sr of all they don't accept cash . 2nd of all they ask for a 15% automatically with zero service. I wanted to give 10% cash but it was 0 or 15%. So zero. My friend chose Dine In & put her table# & her food was left by the front door. And no one called our name. She waited 20mins. We saw the cashier girl serving multiple other ppl their food but not us. After waiting & waiting our food came out. Presentation was lovely . So excited to eat. 2 out of 3 of our bowls were saltyAF. Like literally tastes like my kidneys are shutting down. 2 sauces easily could have used 1/2 the salt they put in. The 3 out of 3rd bowl was so bland there was absolutely NO flavor what-so-ever. Good portions So after all that fucking salt. I went to go ask for 3 cups of water. This is thee most disgusting part. I hope the owner is reading this. I'm pretty sure this is against some health code. The dishwasher was doing his job, they asked him to move over. He moved they proceeded to fill up 2 big cups of dishwashing water and tried to hand it to me. When I asked if they have water from a filter water system. They looked @ me & acted so aggravated by a customers request. Will NEVER COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN. Probably the worst poke place I've eaten out of 100s of poke bowls in my life. Wow. Disappointing read more

TLDR; Great portion size, delicious & fresh food! This was my first time having poke, and I am now obsessed! I built my own bowl with Quinoa, Ahi Tuna, a bunch of veggies and shredded nori. I added a bunch of Jalapenos for the spice since I didn't want to use any of the sauces. They all have too much sodium for my diet, haha. I hear the Pokeworks classic and Sriracha Aioli are the top sellers though. The friend I went confirmed that. Really appreciate how their website has nutrition info, although I'm a little suspicious about the numbers there since the "Classic Salt" sauce seems to not have much sodium content in spite of having salt in it! Only negative was that they were out of Albacore Tuna and Lotus Chips too. Maybe this is because it was a Sunday afternoon, but they should probably have stocked up! My bowl was perfect though. Just the right spicy, warm quinoa, and amazingly fresh tuna. A great lunch no doubt! Can't wait to go back again soon. read more

I'd pinpoint this one at about 2.40 stars. This Pokeworks on Castro St. in Mountain View is a very small space so there's no seating whatsoever except outside where I sat and was grossed out when I saw some mice run out from under some planters! I don't think that area is necessarily under the restaurants control, but it still means you had better get To-Go. I've been to this location a couple times and have not been very impressed. There's no hamachi fish and the fish portions are small. One problem that I saw in other reviews is that they have a large menu hanging from the ceiling so when they are out of certain ingredients, you don't know until you ask. Also with some of the fancy items, you might not be sure what they are or what they look like. I prefer the Poke houses where you just see and point. For flavor, they have a good selection - including sweet chili gochu, sriracha Aioli and Umami Shoyu. I tried a blend of the Fresh Ponzu and Wasabi Aioli, which turned out on the salty side. They also have 'Signature Works' Bowls with suggested lineups of fish and ingredients. Overall, there's better places for Poke... service is minimal and you just don't feel like there's good cheer here. read more

Door Dash this place every week!! Love the food the fish always tastes fresh and delicious.

I LOVE this place. Every time I go there I always get the miso soup and I've tried one of their bowls and one it's awesome. I love how you can order and they will bring it to you. The workers are always nice. The whole place has a nice vibe over all. It gives off modern, to-go vibes read more

The worst poke iv ever had. It was very old and the fish tasted fishy! I ubereats it. It was not good. I dont recommend

Adding my second review after 2 years to say that this place is my go to every Friday and the quality + flavor is always great! Special thanks to Gustavo for preparing the bets bowls! read more

Don't mind the one-star, I actually love the poke-rittos here. I've gone to lunch here multiple times because I'm local to the area and I've also doordashed it several times! Came here Saturday night and caught some serious attitude. Pokeworks closes at 9, my friend and I walked in at 8:40. And man, did I look like a fool. I recommended my co-worker this place and was talking this place UP. And almost immediately caught some attitude. I get it, you guys close at 9. But if we're doing closing stuff at 8:40 then lock the door, lol. Don't be open... when you're closing. Two girls in front, both cleaning. I worked at a poke place in high school and I'm aware of the procedures, throw the scoops in the water basket, whatever. I do remember we should get pretty pissed management if we even did that 2 minutes before the doors were locked. So if you're doing closing procedures (wrapping food, washing scoops, using your dirty rice scoop from the sink to make our bowl) then lock the door. Turn off the lights. Turn off the open sign. My co-worked asked Miss Girl if she was having a bad day after we called her out on it. She was not having a good day. We've all worked food-service. It sucks. Her co-worker didn't even back her up. Stand up for your co-workers! Tell us that she's sorry! I don't know. Don't just stand there and let her dig herself into a hole. If you continue to work food service, that's your choice. But maybe find somewhere else to bring the attitude. I was having a great night. Now I look dumb because I'm raving about this place and they let a nepotism baby run the place. I'm assuming she must own the shop or something based on her attitude and her friend not standing up for herself. Can't believe we paid $20 for a bowl + miso soup just to catch stray bullets for no reason. New tip for pokeworks: either let your high school workers leave at 8 pm or lock the door at 8:30 since that's when you want to close so bad. I don't even want an apology. I just want people to be nice. I don't want her to lose her job or be written up. I just need her to do better. It's free to be nice. Let me know if you guys want time stamps for my photo. read more

Ordering is a bummer because it's all iPad based and you can't see the ingredients before purchasing. Fish options were pretty basic, the only marinated option was the Spicy Salmon (which actually wasn't spicy). Only one choice of sauce. There was a chicken option for those of you who go to a poke place and don't like seafood. Not sure who you are! Lol! Flavor was good but because there was only one sauce option we added the complimentary sesame oil which gave our bowls a nice roasted taste. All in all, a good quick place for poke in the area. read more

Easy to go order and very quick made poke. Kinda slow on a packed streets though. Still poke was good and still recommend it.

Chicken??? Where in my order did I add chicken? Ooh, that's right, I DIDN'T!!! Nor did I add wonton strips. Completely wrong order! Super fishy taste. Sauce was salty and overpowered. Kale noodles were overcooked and didn't add any textural difference. Terrible!!! And, poke was subpar. . Beyond disappointed. Try harder PokeWorks read more

2/12/22 I'm back. To reaffirm that after 5 years from my previous review things have only gotten worse. Today, a "large" is $16.95, and the only fish that you can get raw is tuna and salmon. And a large is literally 1/2 the size of most competitors. They gave me my food in a brown bag, but when I sat down with my kid and opened it I was FLOORED. Inside was a plastic carton the size usually used for a single cupcake. That's their "large". So, while $17 is already way up there for #CaliforniaPoke, it actually is $34 if you wanna compare with other places. Utterly ridiculous. 1/5 #poke #ripoff #mountainview read more

Tried Poke Works recently, and I'm hooked! The poke bowls are bursting with freshness and flavor. The staff is friendly. If you're into poke, give this place a shot it won't disappoint! read more

During shelter in place, overall quality went from generally good to awful. This is the worst poke bowl I've ever had. The fish was fine and everything tasted good, but the portion was an absolute joke. The bowl was about 80% rice, with a sad amount of seaweed salad, barely any fish, and 3 slices of ginger. In the attached photos, it looks like I ate half of the food...but nope! That's what it came like out of the box via doordash. If you want a real portion with better tasting fish at the same price, Poke Poke Fish bar is the place. read more

I notice there are many Pokeworks around the area. I'm a big Pokebowl fan so why not try it out. I decided to order the food through DoorDash during lunch in Mountain View. I ordered the Poke Burrito Regular with 2 protein. Protein: Albacore Tuna and Salmon Sauce: Sriracha Aioli Toppings: Garlic Crisps, Shredded Nori, Green Onions, Pickled Ginger, Crab Salad Mix: Seaweed Salad, Orange Slices, Cilantro I was kind of worried the seaweed wrap would break with every bite I took, but it handled well. Great taste and one of my favorite on the menu. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Burrito Regular - Hawaiian Near Me - Mountain View, California

Gave Pokeworks another try last night and I have to say the quality definitely changed for the better. I got pretty much exactly as the first bowl I tried, regular bowl with tuna and salmon with similar toppings. - I definitely liked the quality of fish this time. It was cut in smaller chunks and it was soft and silky compared to last time. - The rice this time was a lot better too. It wasn't mashed together into one clump and was relatively fluffy and fresh. I was rather weirded out when they carried a blue bin of freshly cooked rice and closed the lid to store it underneath the rice cookers. Not sure how long it sits there or if its proper food storage but it could be the reason why my rice wasn't that great last time. Overall, I had a good experience this time and it was a solid poke bowl that I was pretty happy with. I'd definitely come back here if i'm in the area. read more

I have had better poke. I ordered via the app and one good thing is there was a $5 off promo for first time users if you signup so I got a good deal. The order was messed up a bit, they added tuna instead of spicy tuna and was missing pineapple. Hence 1 less star. Also the portion size felt less compared to other poke places for a medium sized bowl. Although I did like the poke works classic sauce! I might give them another try but would order in-store I guess read more

Very efficient system, walk in, place your order on the electronic tablet by the door and wait to pickup!! The food was delicious, the selections were great and the wait at lunchtime was minimal. The portion for a two scoop lunch/medium was reasonable. Definitely a place to keep in mind for a nice healthy lunch. read more

I was craving Poke a few months ago, did a quick internet search, and found this spot nice and close to home. Since we've recently discovered this spot, we have consistently returned as our go-to when craving Poke and fresh, easy meals. It's local fresh, quick, easy to order online and pick up. The customer service is friendly, kind & helpful. I have read the other mixed reviews, and can honestly say we haven't been disappointed with the food or the service over the past few months we've been eating here. read more

It's been a few years since coming to this location. I was disappointed by the poke bowl I was given. I wish I had read reviews before visiting. [ORDER] I got the large create your own which includes 3 scoops of fish (2 salmon, 1 tuna). I added almost all of the available, free toppings. [QUALITY] Overall the fish quality was subpar. Salmon was pale in color and had a weird consistency, similar to smoked salmon. The tuna also had an almost cooked consistency and was on the warmer side. I'm used to fish in poke bowls being slightly chilled. [QUANTITY] For a large, I expected to get more. I've gotten a similar amount when ordering a medium at other restaurants. [SERVICE] The staff was very friendly and my food came out surprisingly fast. I ordered inside instead of ordering only or in the app. My bowl came out within 5 minutes despite seeing multiple other orders in the queue. read more

Love poke works especially the kale noodle base. It's my favorite along with the sweet shoyu sauce.

I'm really sad that I have to give this place a 2-star rating...the poke itself is pretty solid, but I've been disappointed with the service and overall experience several times already. I'll start with the food first - the poke is great. The fish is tasty and fresh, lots of different choices for toppings (which is always nice), and ordering is made easy through self-service. My go-to protein is Ahi Tuna, paired up with a bunch of toppings - edamame, crab salad, avocado, onions, cabbage, wonton strips, and topped off with a spicy aioli! It's nice that you have the option to make it into a burrito or salad bowl if you'd like. Moving on to one of the reasons why I'm disappointed...if you order online via Yelp, they charge extra for crab salad (which is free in-store); it sucks because this place starts getting pricey as you add up the premium toppings. Every other poke place that I've been to has free crab salad. The last time I was here, they forgot half my toppings! I had noticed they left out the avocado, so I pointed it out and then kept noticing other toppings were missing too. It just seemed like they were reluctant to fix their mistake and they kept checking their copy of my order...like I was the one who forgot to order it. If I'm going to pay extra for toppings, you bet I'm going to check and make sure it's there! Anyways, it sucks that the accuracy of the orders aren't top-notch, because I'd love to come back since the food is pretty yummy and it's convenient place to grab a quick lunch. It's tiresome that I always have to triple-check to make sure everything's there and I'm not being mistakenly charged for something I didn't order. Hopefully, they can step up their game soon. read more

Great healthy food. App is super easy to use, so you can order for a simple pickup. Avocado perfect ripeness and worth the upgrade !

Horrible service! Companies do not order food from here they will cancel on you last minute... planned our company lunch here a week in advance to have it all cancelled 5 mins before they opened on the day we ordered. Then sent us a $5 coupon to accommodate what? UNPROFESSIONAL!!! Save your time and choose a different spot!! Btw my name is not JOSE ‍ read more

Service: Good Parking: street/outdoor parking lots Food: Average Average poke spot, the food is not bad, but compared to the other poke places that I've been, I think this place only deserves 3 stars for average. To be fair, I'm also basing off my review against other poke places that I've been to. Also, due to the limitation on the area, I would come go to this poke place if I'm craving for poke and if I'm in the area. Overall, the food is not bad. read more

Fast and easy order and pick up.

Solid poke spot, located downtown. Perks: pay/ order yourself at 1 of 2-3 iPad type kiosks No line Plenty of outdoor seating Parking lot located behind restaurant Fresh fish, warm rice Infused water dispenser Restroom Other options besides your typical poke spots like different varieties of seaweed and bora fish ( not my personal fav but I liked trying something new) Cons: small inside the place could be pretty tight if it got busy! Maybe a description of the sauce or more pictures Overall I would be back to try something else, it's better than the other poke place down the street(inside the grocery store) James was friendly, but word of advice Don't advertise you need a raise lol do your job, get reviews based off of the great service and food, and you should be set! Btw: they have a stamp card! YES because I love my poke bowls! read more

Pokeworks - Build your own $11 - Hawaiian Near Me - Mountain View, California

Didnt get to try a bowl, but not gonna lie it looked small AF. Got a "large" poke burrito. I think they should clarify if the size is actually larger or if its just called a large cause you get 3 proteins instead of 2. Because honestly if the size is gonna stay the same and you gotta pay like 3 bux more for just an increased variety of the fish, then i woulda just stayed at 2 proteins. It was $14.75 w/ tax and $13.5 without so its quite a bit for something that only lasts about 1.5 meals. If you go to poke bar across the street that monstrosity(the large) lasts 3-4 meals... That being said, i did like pokeworks scallops much more than any other poke place ive tried. The fish and other ingredients were comparable to other places. Overall, while i did enjoy my burrito, dont think id be back unless i was really craving it. Its overpriced in a market where the margins already seem quite high. read more
