food was so good staff were really friendly overall the expiration of the food was food

I like the tofu pockets they have here - really great snack! I got the seared lobster one for $6. I also go the make your own bowl with 2 proteins, with salmon and spicy salmon. You get unlimited toppings and 2 sauces! The masago is 50 cents extra. In total it came to about $24 including the tofu pockets. I really liked the spicy mayo - it was actually spicy haha. There's a decent amount of seats, maybe like 10 in total? I'd come again! read more

Went to redeem my app points today for the Pokeworks POG and a spam musubi. The employee behind the counter made my drink right away and I surprisingly loved it! I don't usually go for a fruit drink but this one was pretty good and not too sweet at 50% sweetness. The spam Musubi was very rice dense with a small slab of spam. That was expected as I had the same spam musubi at a different Pokeworks location. Ambiance was warm and inviting with lots of seating available for lunchtime rush. read more

Solid poke bowls! A custom regular poke bowl was about $16, on par with Sweetgreen and your typical corporate bowl spots. Plenty of seating, gets kind of busy around lunchtime so don't come if you're in a rush. read more

I had a very disrespectful experience at Pokeworks. When I checked out and paid in cash, Hedda K placed my change on the counter instead of handing it to me directly. I found it rude and disrespectful. I politely asked her why she didn't hand me the money, and she said nothing in response. What made the situation worse was that after this interaction, I overheard Hedda K and another employee, Michael, talking about me behind my back. I clearly heard Michael say, "In situations like that you can win," referring to me. The entire experience made me feel highly disrespected and uncomfortable as a customer. I expect basic courtesy and professionalism when spending my money at a business, and unfortunately I did not receive that here. read more

I really like this location and the staff here. Sometimes you do get ignored upon entering but if u wait a couple minutes they come out and you can start your order. They prioritize mobile orders when they are short staffed on the assembly line but i don't like to order ahead. My order is usually the chili crisp shrimp torched with surimi and the various toppings and my sauce is that cilantro jalapeño and i must add serano peppers bro i need my bowl spiiiiicy, and this location execute it perfectly. I also like that they have brown sugar rice Krispies and bubble tea(but i've never tried the drink so i cannot say). read more

They give a lot of fish with extra fish. The tuna itself wasn't too bad but I think I will get a saltier one next time. read more

Deliciously made poke bowl. So many options to add on. You can decide rice or salad. I found it super fast and the workers are friendly. The taste was really yummy and worth it. I got the salmon pre-made one. It was a generous helping of raw salmon. I saw there was some seating, but it's best to go to union square park and enjoy it. read more

Pokeworks - Salmon poke bowl - Poke Near Me - New York, New York

I really like pokeworks restaurants in general and this location is ok, but the portions for toppings are just too weak to be worth it. Other poke shops in the area are similarly priced but much more generous with toppings. The scoop used for each topping might be less than a teaspoon full. They also charge for masago, which I don't recall seeing at other locations. My request to management would be to skimp less on the fillings. Otherwise everything was good. The location seems well maintained and clean, and the ingredients were good. read more

Pros: The staff is nice and theres a good selection of toppings to choose from. Cons: Extremely frugal with the amount of fish. Maybe 4-5 small pieces per scoop. Essentially you're just paying for $17 (after tax) for veggies and rice with sauce. Recommend Poke Bowl which is two streets down and much more generous for the same price. Won't be coming back read more

I have been coming to Pokeworks for several times in various locations. This location is one of my favorites as it is very close to the stores in union square and the service is great. The staff is friendly and it has some seating inside. I like how it is usually not crowded in the evening and my bowl is nice and fresh. The sushi that is also near the drinks are good. I definitely like the unlimited toppings too. The spicy tuna and salmon is great. One of my fav poke places in Manhattan. read more

Second time in a row that unfortunately my order was missing items. This time the sauce was included, which was the problem last time, however they didn't include any of the toppings I requested which included pineapple, mango, and orange. This is especially disappointing because the service fees for delivery are so expensive. The meal itself was $21 because I requested additional seaweed salad, but my total came out to $31 because of service fees. To receive an order missing items twice in a row after paying an expensive amount for lunch is very disheartening. I will not be ordering from this location again. Unfortunately I don't work nearby so I can't go into the store and do pick up, so I will be finding another Poke spot to order from. read more

This was my first time having poke because I thought they only had meat dishes. But they had a vegan dish and it was delicious. I got the avocado salad bowl. Highly recommend! I will definitely be back. I can also customize my order with plenty of veggies. Everything was fresh. The service was great when I called and asked questions about ingredients. Very nice and helpful staff. read more

They only give you like two tiny scoops for the regular 2 protein bowl. The rice was undercooked which was really disappointing - like rice is your base and you can't cook that right ?? The fish was seasoned well and they have a bunch of sides that don't cost extra, like seaweed salad, to make the bowl feel more hearty but compared to other poke spots I was disappointed. read more

I ordered from the Union Sq location this afternoon 3/22 around lunch time. I was reluctant to do so because I've had a bad experience with freshness there before, but I hadn't eaten all day and thought I would give it another try. But once again, my order today was not quite right. Once I got through much of my Spicy Ahi bowl, I realized the tuna was off in color - mainly with a brownish tint to it. It wasn't any of the "sauce" because I wiped it down and it was still brownish, and not the reddishcolor greah tuna usuallt is. Now, 12 hrs later, my stomach is not feeling well at all. This location seems to have freshness issues. Again, this is the 2nd time I've had this issue with this location, but the 1st time I am reporting it. I'm a big fan of Pokeworks, but sadly I only feel confident ordering from one location - Fresh Meadows. read more

Pokeworks - The bowl that costed me $17 - Poke Near Me - New York, New York

Came here a full hour (almost exactly) before they close and the counter was completely cleared out to the point that I double checked with the worker that they were still open. She said yes but proceeded to act like I was keeping her late or just being an overall huge inconvenience to her life. Not to mention when she brought my bowl to the counter it was placed next to another one (seemingly waiting for pick up) that was easily twice as full as mine. The only conclusion I can come to is that she was having a long day and didn't particularly like me, which I can understand as I'm also currently working in service. Sorry to this girl. read more

I ordered the large 3 proteins build your own poke bowl with lobster, tuna, and salmon. The ratio of rice to proteins and toppings was disappointing since majority of the bowl was rice. The large is essentially the same standard size bowl as the regular but with 3 proteins. It's a convenient fast casual but quality/quantity has decreased from when it first opened. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Bowl Large- 3 proteins - Poke Near Me - New York, New York

I've been a loyal fan of Pokeworks for years (since 2016 when this location opened) but had a pretty disappointing experience last night. I came in at 8 PM knowing they close at 9 so was expecting to be able to order like normal. The shop was trying to close early and I wasn't the only customer who came in and said "are you open?" Because of this - it was hard to order b/c none of the food was out and I found myself rushing (I witnessed other customers doing this too) -- since it seemed like the shop was going to close at any minute. All the utensils were gone, chairs were put away, and the staff didn't ask basic questions while ordering like "what type of sauce would you like?" etc. I ended up with a sauceless bowl :( Lastly, one of the staff members was clearly sick and probably shouldn't have been working that day. I always enjoy the Pokeworks product but this in person experience wasn't the best :/ read more

I was craving for some poke bowls and i happened to come across from this on union square. So i decided to try something different. Instead of sushi rice. I did zucchini noodles [not really noodles. It's a bit on the thicker side. A bit disappointed. I actually wanted noodles] for the portion/ toppings i got spicy salmon, tuna, seaweed salad, corn, fish eggs, scallions, crispy garlic chips, red onions, mango, crispy onions, Sauce spicy mayo read more

This place definitely went down hill. The fact that there was no one on the line and not many online orders should have given me the hint. I ordered my usual bowl with two proteins. I noticed that the bowl was different. Not sure if it's because it's smaller or just different. I was sad to see the crab salad wasn't there or wasn't for free and no more wasabi mayo. Instead I got the siracha mayo and it was too spicy for me. Maybe it's because I asked for normal but there was so much sauce that it covered all the other flavors. I should mentioned that lettuce was old (stems were pink) and there was definitely less fish. Overall, the product got worse, sloppy and more expensive. I'll be searching elsewhere for poke. read more

The poke bowl was pretty good until I bit into a hard piece of black plastic which was a broken piece of a fork. Literal garbage in the bowl. Not ideal, especially at a place that's serving raw fish. read more

This is my 3rd time ordering from this location, Cindy and Daniel was very friendly. Both were busy when I came by to grab dinner. But they got my order correct and was generous. When people came in, they greeted everyone with a smile. It was a cloudy and rainy evening, and it's been a long ass day so I really appreciated the happy energy. Food has been fresh and no disappointment so far. Will be back again. read more

Great spot for a quick, fresh, and yummy takeout. Service was amazing and super nice! The only thing I think this place lacks is a little more topping variety: I would love some tomatoes, kimchi, carrots, or more veggies. All in all, great spot for some good sushi bowls :) read more

Was super excited for the reopening post covid, was disappointed by meal tho. One of my biggest pet peeve is picking up an online order and be missing stuff! My bf's order was perfectly fine. Super sad to be missing some of my favorite items in my poke bowl, the seaweed salad, masago, and wonton crisps that I love. However pokeworks is overall such a good poke option, I might just have to order in store now to make sure everything is added. read more

The 2 star is for the cleanliness of the place as you can see on the picture, I wonder if that's mold or mildew on the countertop that's located near the raw fish. For an establishment that's serving raw fish, I except this place to be pristine. I would give the food and the customer service 4 stars. I really like this place and the food is great especially the poke burrito but what I saw today just threw me off. read more

It's been years i havent been back to this place. This used to be my favourite place when i was in college. One of the first things in my to-do list when I'm back in New York is going to this place.. My natural voice is lil soft so I guess some of them couldnt hear very well. Instead of asking again politely, they showed attitude right away. The cashier was the only nice one. This just upsets me because i always loved the place and recommended to a lot of my friends. The topping is so little, they asked me extra dollars for extra sauce, which never happened before! Absolutely disappointing read more
