    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.

    my shrimp salad order
    Amanda W.

    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).

    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.

    Salmon poke bowl
    Polly H.

    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.

    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.

    Poke Bowl Large

    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.

    Avocado salad bowl
    Kai W.

    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.

    Snack bowl with noodles, spicy ahi, mushrooms, radish, sesame ginger sauce, teriyaki and topped with tempura crunchiness.
    Mike M.

    Delicous little snack bowl ! The staff was really nice and FAST! Got to choose and eat within minutes and it was delicious and fresh. The place is a fast food place setup so I'd say it's a great place to eat a quick bite with anyone in a cafeteria style eating space.

    The bowl that costed me $17
    Kelly E.

    This is such a late update, but Pokeworks did reach out to me and offer me a free meal at this location. I'm a loyal customer of Pokeworks now and visit several of their locations

    Tuna
    Mike L.

    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.

    Poke Bowl Large- 3 proteins
    Lila L.

    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.

    Helen M.

    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

I always passed by here and liked the trendy, bright beach interiors. The food is delish - simple healthy classics with lots of fresh ingredients and delicious flavors! I ordered the fire egg wrap and couldn't have the spicy sauce so the server, Bryan, brought 2 other sauces (pura vida and Caesar) for me to enjoy. The pure vida sauce was a herby green with mustard that was so good. There's lots of seating space with clean bathrooms and polite and prompt service throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and time here.

The chicken is…read morejust WOW and I am SO picky about chicken...perfectly cooked - crispy but still tender - deliciously seasoned throughout, not just on top. I got the spicy and it is low spice level - packed full of flavour, spaghetti squash is tomatoey and delicious, all the veggies I had were perfectly cooked and seasoned - I also tried the cauliflower and broccoli (not pictured) which were great. This is one of the few truly healthy takeout options that isn't packed full of salt sugar and additives - it tastes fresh, delicious and light. Though the portion looks quite small, it is actually very satisfying (and I can eat a lot) They get super busy (good for them as a small business!) so be aware of this when ordering at peak times in terms of wait time - my only complaint is, it is pricy - the steak in particular is quite a significant add-on. That being said, I paid for it twice in one day, so it is clearly worth it, but if I wasn't visiting - and this was a regular go-to - I would like to see prices a little more competitive.
