    Spicy Ahi Poke
    John D.

    I haven't told anyone this, but I want to get a jump on eating healthy. While I don't plan to become a vegan or eat anything without a single grain of sugar for the rest of my life, I figure I'd make room for more of the stuff that's apparently good for you. My craving for poke is what brought me here to Pokeworks. While it's in a shopping center just off the Gulf Freeway and Bay Area Boulevard, first-time visitors could easily miss it if they're not looking. I arrived here with the spicy ahi poke in mind. And I wasn't disappointed at all. The bowl was a nice, delicious cacophony of rice, vegetables, and of course, ahi. Freshness and consistency were the names of the game. Anyone who hasn't tried poke may think it isn't filling, but I'm here to say they're sadly mistaken. Just eat it with chopsticks. Before I end this review, allow me to sing the praises of the spam musubi. The spam was nicely cooked and the rice soft and plentiful. I enjoyed it so much that I nearly bought all what they had for sale by the cash register.

    Spicy salmon, spicy tuna, imitation crab, seaweed, edamame, all DELICIOUS. I got the burrito format,

    I came back to Pokeworks for a poke bowl and had a delightful experience! The staff was attentive and quick to build what I asked for (all types of seafood, two types of fish, and lots of random toppings)- it came out delicious and I think it would be very hard to go wrong with all the options they serve. The restaurant was clean, a couple other patrons were there but it wasn't too loud or distracting, and really for food this fresh, given the price and speed, its a fantastic find!

    Randomly craved a poke bowl and decided to go to one close to home. The inside of the restaurant smelled like straight chlorine. I guess they wanted to clean two hours before closing? It was a bit unpleasant but at least I know they so clean. I made my own custom bowl with salmon and spicy salmon and a variety of ingredients. All of their ingredients tasted very fresh and not bad! They have three levels of how much sauce can be added. I like that because it doesn't taste like I'm drowning in sauces. They even served spam musubi! My husband absolutely enjoyed it and gave high praises. All in all, I enjoy my experience there but there was just something missing from my poke bowl. Will have to come back and order more to figure out what that is!

    This is my first time at this establishment. I am usually on fence about tryin new Poke places, but I decided to try this place out. The service was great, with friendly customer service. The person who attended me answered my questions regarding the menu and catering to my dietary restrictions. Food was amazing. I really enjoyed the freshness of their fish and poultry and greens. Definitely will be coming back to try their other items. If you're around the area, definitely a good place to stop by and eat.

    Build your own poke bowl and hibiscus tea. Love stopping by for some fresh "fast food". I usually do half rice and half salad for the best of both worlds. Pokeworks is well priced and plenty of food.

    I LOVE this place! Everything is always so fresh & on point. The flavors are exactly what they should be! Thank you so much for being awesome!!

    The dude gave me a recommendation for a spicy bowl with lettuce and I loved it !

    Amazing food absolutely delicious. The service was amazing and the guy who helped me was so nice and gave me a free spam and rice thing! The ambiance was meh but I just got a togo order so it wasn't a big deal!

    Came here because I was craving poke and it's close to the area that I live in. The service was wonderful and the staff was patient with giving us little samples of the sauces they had. Everything seemed fresh and tasted nice.

    Spicy Tuna Ahi + additional toppings
    Erin Y.

    Came here to get a quick bite with my boyfriend and I can't even tell you how much he loved this place ! I swear he finished his bowl faster than the time we spent ordering ! I ordered the regular size Spicy Tuna Ahi and added a couple of other toppings from what they offered & my boyfriend created his own spicy poke bowl with spicy tuna and toppings of his choice with their spicy volcano sauce - I got a taste of the volcano sauce and it was so good I added it to my order as well ! All the toppings were fresh with a countless number of toppings to choose from ! The regular size was a generous portion size, so I suggest if you're not too hungry just order the small size !

    A very pleasant surprise. If you're looking for a quick, healthy poke bowl, Pokeworks is the place to come. I ordered the large (3 protein) bowl with greens as my base. I chose: ahi tuna, salmon, and shrimp for my protein and it did not disappoint! The topping selection is nice and they have many different sauces to choose from. I like that they have many crunchy options to top it off with too. My bowl was extremely filling and I left satisfied. *bonus that you get a free drink offer with Yelp check in. I will definitely be back!

    Organic tofu with sriracha aioli and sweet chili gochujang sauces
    Surbhi G.

    Vegetarian Review: I can say I'm on the path to becoming a poke enthusiast! I thought I wouldn't like it much because it'd be a cold flavorless mess with tofu but the sushi rice underneath was warm and the sauces complemented everything nicely. My parents even liked it so that says a lot in itself. I chose to make my own bowl instead of getting the signature sweet chilli tofu- glad I did, more bang for my buck & allowed me to decide what I do and don't like so I can make the perfect burrito next time. The staff here was generous and accommodated us with sampling the sauces and a few toppings before we added it to the entire meal. - The extra for avocado is definitely worth it - There's soft tofu available in addition to the organic tofu base for everyone trying to get that extra boost of protein - I recommend mixing the Sriracha Aioli & the Sweet Chilli Gochujang sauces but honestly I feel like so many combinations can go well here - Would like to try brown rice/quinoa next time but man the sushi rice was just so good. Wouldn't ever get the kale noodles on their own- tasted decent but didn't soak up the flavors enough to complete the meal as much as the rice did. Overall great place to come to if you have yet to try poke!

    Spicy ahi sub for salmon
    Farrah A.

    Pokeworks takes a lot of my money. The Spicy Ahi (sub in salmon) with kale noodles gives me life! And the small/regular size is perfect - almost too much food - for me. I always end up with leftover for a late-day snack. This particular location was clean - all their locations are - staff was friendly despite our group popping in right before closing. They have a rewards system, too. BTW, the kale noodles are not GF. And they're rather high in cal compared to the quinoa, salad/greens or rice, but they're really good. :)

    Best poke I've ever had. We went for the grand opening b/c they had a BOGO deal. Around 8 PM the line was literally out the door. Interior is brand new, clean, bright, and spacious. Ingredients were restocked constantly and were fresh. Patrons in line were respectful and moved as efficiently as they could. We ordered the Hawaiian classic, shrimp & scallop (though they were out of scallop, we replaced it with chicken), and made our own bowls. Ordered size large ($2 price difference), and I only finished half. Per recommendation of a friend, for my make-your-own bowls, I ordered the kale noodles as a base. So yummy. Would prefer this over rice or quinoa. I like the ahi tuna & the salmon as proteins. If you order a normal size, you pick 2 proteins. For a large, you'll pick 3. I also requested every topping that didn't cost extra. Lotus chips are a must. We missed out on the free coconuts they were giving out earlier in the day but didn't mind. We downloaded the Pokeworks app and got $5 credit, so we got 2 large bowls for a little under $10. Some improvements would be the staff. Many were incredibly patient with our orders, which we tremendously appreciated, but there were a few who kept persistently discouraging that our $5 app credit wouldn't work (it did, lol). Other than that, great food and a strong grand opening. Wishing this business continued success. We will be back for sure :)

    Don't bother getting the avocado salad. I received one small scoop of avocado and it was brown. It's way overpriced for what you get

    This place was so yummy, and I'll definitely be coming back. The poke bowl was about $13.50 for 2…read moreproteins, and I got ahi tuna and cooked shrimps. Both proteins were 10/10, and the quantity I got in the bowl was perfect. You get unlimited mix-ins with the regular bowl, so I got almost every single one. I also got truffle shoyu sauce to go in the mix-ins and in the rice and topped it all off with ginger, wasabi, masago, etc. The service was great as my bowl was made fast once I was at the front of the line, and they were getting through the long line of people fast. The ambiance is pretty chill with a few tables, but it is a smaller place, and most people were getting the poke to-go, which is what I did too.

    This spot was great with lots of protein and topping options! I got the regular size, 2-protein…read morebowl, with tuna and hamachi. There are very few places I know that have hamachi as a protein option, so I was super excited to see it here! They are generous with their portions and you get unlimited toppings (as you can see with my bowl). The only topping I wouldn't get is the avocado (which is an additional $2, and I didn't see the sign that said it was extra). The avocado was peculiar.... it tasted normal until the after taste was a bit fizzy.... indicating the avocado had either been left out for too long and fermented - it definitely went bad and they were still serving it. The avocado wasn't brown but seemed like there was an additive they added to keep it from visually spoiling. It kind of ruined the experience of the bowl, but I just separated it from the rest of my bowl.

There's decent space inside, but not suited for large gatherings. The location is a little difficult to find. Komeya is crammed into a small business strip next to a busy street. Parking may be difficult. Their menu is 90% sushi, but they have other dishes. Their ramen and rice bowls are excellent. Every day, Komeya has a different special of the day, food they don't typically serve on their menu like Korean fried chicken wings or fried mochi with banana for example. Prices aren't too bad. I wouldn't recommend the green curry ramen. It didn't remind me of Asian curry and it lacked flavor, though the chicken in my green curry ramen was seasoned and cooked to perfection. My big brother and his wife are sushi fanatics. They would love to come by here!

The menu is big, tons of sushi to choose from. We started with calamari as a starter. It was hot, crispy, and came with a chili dipping sauce. I ordered a Thai tea, but they were out.
