    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!

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    Hawaiian Ahi Large & Miso soup. Sriracha Aioli & Sweet Chili Gochujang

    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!!

    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 :)

    Intro: After checking out two bars in Clear Lake, we were looking to complete the trifecta. A quick…read moreYelp search revealed that there was a tiki bar 10 minutes away. I'm all about tropical vibes so we made our way over for a nightcap. Located in a shopping center, parking won't be a problem. We were there pretty late on a Thursday night. Ambiance (4/5): Tiki bars are all about ambiance. Hawaii vibes. What's cool about The Great Kanakas Atomic Tiki Bar, outside of their excellent name, is that they're indoors but the bar makes you feel like you're actually outside. I liked the concept. Relaxed with the vibes you would expect at a tiki bar. Service (4.5/5): We sat at the bar and our bartender was attentive and friendly. She even recommended an off-the-menu drink that other folks like which was a nice touch. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet so I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (4/5): When you're at a tiki bar, you're looking for a creative mix of flavors with a nice presentation. I went with a cocktail with such a cool name that I couldn't say no. You'll know it when you see the menu. It's a long name, sounds very Hawaiian, and you'll have difficulty pronouncing it. You'll get a kick out of it. While the drink were solid, I've seen more elaborate tiki drinks elsewhere. I'm talking the type where fire is evolved or fancy garnishes. Overall: Clear Lake surprisingly has quite a few cool bars. This is one of them.

There was very little…read more"tiki" about the place other than the drink menu and the "hut" over the bar -- certainly not the music, which was pretty typical modern, and overall I just had the impression of a dingy bar. We tried a couple of drinks, and they were fine, and the bartender was patient and helpful. Perhaps it gets more interesting when it gets busier later at night, and sitting on the patio might be nice when the weather is cooler. This is just not what we're looking for in a cocktail bar, but YMMV..

For starters, their HRW dinner menu sits at the low end price wise with a $40 option. Sure you can upgrade to a better steak but you can land a filet mignon on the $40 menu. Appetizers offered include a salad, a queso with sausage and chips and a boudin link. We sampled all. And because I love pork belly added their sticky pork belly appetizer to the table. First off, they don't skimp on the HRW portions. The waitress was clear that the boudin only had one link but it's was more than enough with the seasoned crackers, pickled onions and stone mustard. The queso features beef sausage and homemade chips. And the pig cubes are magic. Sticky and perfectly cooked. Mains too are well executed and plentiful. The steak eaters smiled big and those of us who opted for the triple bbq option were floored by the big ribs and the two additional meats that filled the plate. And than add 2 sides (bring an empty belly and plan on leftovers. Dessert is stunning as well. The cheesecake was light and fresh and the pecan cobbler an artistic delight. Shout out to the management who stopped at the table to discuss allergy precautions staff would take to protect a member of our party and to our super waitress Malaysia who handled our party with humor and kindness.
