    Finally making a review on this place because I visit pretty often when around Thayer street. Pokework has been around for a while, and it's always consistently good. I always get the 2-3 protein and the service is always kind and prompt. They are so kind and offer free items when they have too many sides which I've had the pleasure of getting and trying out the extra new menu sides. I can't say it's outstanding but if you're craving some poke bowls, this is my favorite location! There's always plenty seating, never too busy, and clean. They have bathrooms and plenty of utensils and napkins in the side station of the counter.

    Rating: 4.0 Have been here few times but decided to review today. It's a poke bowl restaurant chain that has been open in Providence Thayer street for a while. Recently they have been adding more options such as spam musubi and some sides. Parking is only street parking. Usually the place is not too busy and there are plenty of seatings available. I usually get 2 or 3 protein poke bowl with spicy salmon and shrimp with toppings. Food is pretty consistent and its pretty good. I can't say it's out of the ordinary though. Service is usually pretty good. Overall the place is good. Definitely a one of the better poke bowl option around the area. They also have app/royalty program that offer points that can be used for rewards

    Spicy ahi Poke Bowl (Regular)

    I was starving after a 7 mile run and this place hit the spot. I got the spicy ahi bowl which is the most popular bowl and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients. Free avocado scoop because it was late. Nice little searing area and great people watching spot at the corner of waterman. Get in here, you won't be let down.

    Pokeworks is one of the few, easily accessible Poke places in Providence. This time, I got spicy salmon and tuna, with spicy aioli sauce. The fish was decently fresh and they put the right amount of sauce on, but it was quite spicier than I expected, even considering that my spice tolerance is relatively high. I would stop by here if you're craving poke and want to get it quickly, but would otherwise think about ordering somewhere else for better poke!

    Pokeworks is a great spot to stop by and load up on some healthy ishh! I am definitely a regular and have a meal or two here almost every week. My preference is to get the salad bowl, load it up with lots of veggies, sauces and don't forget that avocado with some crunchy toppings like the crispy garlic, onions and wontons. You also have your options of proteins, whether it be 2 or 3 and I normally go for the tofu and shrimp. All the ingredients smell and taste fresh! The staff are always pleasant and helpful. The only downside to the restaurant may be the location on a busy day. Thayer street can be pretty packed at times and you may have to take a few loops around the block before finding a spot. The bowls I get are usually around $17 which isn't exactly cheap, but it's also not breaking the bank and it's so loaded with delicious food! Try this spot out and let me know what you think :-) -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

    ordered in person for takeaway. servers were kind and generous with toppings. establishment is clean and has been every time i have come in. the fish is reliable here. i have not had a bad experience with the freshness. it's a consistent college town poke spot. nothing extravagant or to write home about but always there when you need it.

    Very fresh. My only complaint is I would like to see a smaller bowl at a more reasonable cost. It was like 35.00 for two for lunch .The kids options don't allow for any variety. But it was super tasty

    Get your poke fix at Pokeworks: Imagine deconstructed sushi in a bowl. Or as a salad. Maybe with noodles? How about burrito form? Yes, nachos - definitely nachos. The choices are endless and the protein options are fresh. Sad for others, but I'm fortunate to say this location guarantees quality poke. I created my own sushi bowl consisting of sushi rice and two proteins - tuna and salmon. Mix-ins featured are edamame, jalapeños, cucumber, and diced mango. For my flavor, I went with the sweet chili gochujang sauce. Caution, it's spicy! I topped the bowl with avocado (for additional cost), sesame seeds, wonton crisps, shredded nori, masago, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger. As you can tell, I love to max out my poke game! Gotta catch em' all. It was my first time trying out the poke nachos. The same drill - choose your proteins, mix-ins, etc. This time, I went for shrimp, tuna, cucumber, mango, jalapeño, and avocado in the Pokeworks classic sauce. The crab salad was good! The Providence location on Thayer St is small but clean. You'll be in and out before you know it. Parking can be difficult, but it's of walking distance from neighboring restaurants, shops, and cafes near Brown University. Although on the pricier side, it's worth the visit and experience - especially for your first (or returning) visit for poke!

    Is this a take-out pizza place, or what?…read more OR WHAT! It really is so much more - we did not order pizza. :) Part of a larger order, I will review my meal (family has not arrived yet for the rest!). This is our first order from Vasilio's although we've been temped by their mail-delivered menus for a long time. Although we do not order out much, this will NOT be our last order with them! I ordered the cheeseburger dinner and a cheese cake wedge for dessert. The burger dinner included an enormous serving of crispy, hot french fries (which was so plentiful I set aside for the other meals), just-creamy-enough tasty cole slaw, and a beautiful burger. I mean picture-perfect. So sorry - I was halfway through before I realized it was photo perfect! Well-cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, the vegetables were fresh (curly full-leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onion, with ketchup, mayo, and cheese - I declined pickles) the burger was large and satisfying. Cut in half, it still took two hands to handle properly. The cheese cake is served with no topping. With all due respect, none is needed! The graham cracker crust in this particular pie slice is thick and buttery moist, fresh, not crumbly or soggy. The filling is piled high, creamy, rich yet light and just sweet enough. I was shocked at the delicious rich flavor and quality! Serving size? Just over 2 inches at its widest and about 5 inches long to the wedge point. Could only eat half, although my taste buds wanted to eat more, ha! After I had my fill (having leftovers), family still hadn't arrived, so I put their sandwiches in a warming area. Sandwiches were still warm! This was an excellent experience. Many thanks, Vasilio's! Delicious meal on such a stormy night. Even the delivery driver, Yolanda, was a joy!

We started out with my husband's newfound favorite, the clam cakes. I appreciated the herbiness of the breadcrumbs they were fried in. My husband got the crab roll for his entree, and I did like the bite I was able to sneak of it. I really wanted the lobster roll but that $42 price tag turned me away quickly. Instead I got the fish and chips with pollock for my entree. I am always complaining about portion sizes. Not here, I was only able to finish around 1/3 of it. It is substantial! Not only was it a generous portion, but it was really nicely fried, and I loved the flaky salt on it. My one complaint is the sauces that you pay extra for. I got some piri-piri mayo and garlic aioli. Both of these were absolutely not worth it, grossly lacking in flavor. Don't waste your money on these and stick with ketchup. The staff was friendly, helpful, and as attentive as they could be from inside the food truck. The locale is super cute with a bunch of picnic tables out on a patio. The parking is super limited though so beware. Would definitely recommend!

Perfectly crispy and meaty Heirloom Tomato Salad (4/5): Nice and refreshing to have a veggie dish, though it leaned a little on the salty side.
