    Poke Noodle bowl, topped with lotus chips with Mandarin orange drink
    Ken H.

    Opening day! Got poke my way regular size - kale noodle bowl, scallops/ahi tuna, lots of fixings and crisp lotus roots to top it off for $10.95. Was VERY tasty and definitely didn't feel like I loaded up on a heavy lunch yet I wasn't hungry afterwards. If you're doing poke your way, I'd recommend looking at the menu at pokeworks.com first, then you don't hold up the line when it gets busy - and it will since many of you have been waiting for this place to open like forever. There's 6 steps to complete your bowl. I breezed through on their first day but it was after 3 PM. Otherwise, maybe order their signature works which is like 8 different predetermined poke bowls, until you're more familiar with their menu. If you don't want any raw fish, they've got albacore tuna, shrimp, tofu and chicken. I think the bay scallops are cooked too, but the ahi tuna and salmon are raw. If you've got some food allergies, the signature works bowls show all ingredients such as soy and gluten so you can choose the appropriate bowl or just do it your way. As with other poke chains, toppings like avocado are extra, but you can load up on all other free mix-ins, toppings and crunch if you want some added value and a few more bites, they'd probably not get upset if you asked for a bit more of this or that. If you're not careful and add extra protein for a large size bowl and pay for some toppings, you could be nearing sushi/sashimi deluxe pricing at a typical Japanese restaurant. But that's your choice and what you're in the mood for when you get in here. Important tips - if you're shorter than the sneeze guard when you're ordering, speak UP or you'd have to repeat what you just asked for. The acoustics and ambient noise can make it difficult for them to hear you, or for you to hear them! Also, when you get to the flavors - that's their sauces that are mixed into your bowl - they'll ask if you want light, medium or heavy portions of the sauce you pick that's suitable for your taste. After you pay and find that you want a bit more flavor, you can add more sesame oil, soy and siracha sauces yourself. So, Yelpers in Westport - your own poke place is finally here. It ain't Hawaii, but it's as close as you can get for these parts of Connecticut. So get in here in high volume to constantly move the fresh ingredients in and out.

    Limited options in the area and my co-worker picked this place. These poke places are popping up all over the country: some are great, some are decent and some will close within a short period of time. Similar to the cupcake craze from a few years back: everyone loves the concept, simple menu and fresh product. Like cupcakes, how many can you honestly eat in a week or every week, etc? So enter the poke place: fresh(?) fish, build your own (Chipotle line) and quick relatively healthy lunch. Food: Tuna was decent, but the spicy salmon did not taste fresh. I had the burrito, but the slice of nori is not well suited to properly make a burrito and the "Auto" rice dispenser didnt really properly apply the rice or the guy doing it is new to it. Even though I had minimal ingredients, the nori didn't fully wrap around. The taste was "ok", except for the salmon: there is no way it was fresh or the spicy marinade was off. I do not recommend getting it. Service: Pleasant with a smile and walk through the ingredients. There was more staff on hand than diners during lunch time: not a good sign. Overall: Its not the worst, but overall its just not very good. Prices are competitive, but the poke bowl place by my house back in IL, is more expensive (+$3/$4 per bowl), but has more fish, fresh and tastes better; as well as offer free miso soup with bowl. I will not be coming back here, but maybe over time this place can improve.

    Pokeworks in Westport Ct.  So delicious.

Service is also top notch. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite food item here is the Nordic roll. I have one and I'm full for the rest of the day. Its one of the best bites of sushi you can have in CT. Enjoy!

I stopped by for a quick lunch and was impressed with their fast casual hot meals. My group mentioned that the fish & chips were some of the best they've had! The lobster roll was also tasty, and it comes generously sized with plenty of lobster meat and sides of coleslaw and your choice of fries, veggies, chips, or corn. The brioche bun for the roll was also perfectly grilled and buttered up. In fact, we learned that the restaurant gets their buns fresh daily from a nearby bakery. Since we had arrived for an earlier lunch and the bread wasn't ready yet, there was actually a ~20+ min delay in getting our food. Regardless, the food was delicious, and the staff were very apologetic and offered to serve our sides while we waited. If we lived closer or brought a cooler, we'd probably bring fresh seafood back home. Would definitely love to stop by again one day!

I wouldn't recommend the Yaki Onigiri, despite reading positive reviews for it. The fried rice was way too heavy and didn't taste good. The greasiness was competing with the strong taste of the salmon. Some servers knew their job well, and greeted us at the door. A newer server wasn't as knowledgeable on gluten free options there and also didn't take away our used appetizer plates before serving us the mains. Not a huge deal, but it does make a difference in your dining experience and how the flow of your meal goes.

    "Comforting Bowls and a Cozy Izakaya Feel"…read more Haruki Ramen & Izakaya delivers a warm and inviting ramen experience that feels both relaxed and satisfying. It is the kind of place that works perfectly for a casual date night or a comforting dinner when you are craving something rich and flavorful. We started with the agedashi tofu and Sapporo, which was a great way to ease into the meal. The tofu was lightly crisp on the outside and silky inside, sitting in a savory broth that balanced sweetness and umami nicely. Paired with a cold Sapporo, it set the tone for a solid evening. My girlfriend ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, which came out steaming and fragrant. The broth was creamy and pork forward with a steady heat that built gradually without overwhelming the palate. The noodles had a nice chew and the toppings were well portioned. I went with the mazemen, which was bold and satisfying. Rich sauce coating thick noodles, topped with a perfectly jammy egg and fresh scallions for brightness. It was hearty and full of flavor, the kind of dish that leaves you full and content. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting and a laid back energy that encourages you to settle in. Service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The only reason this lands at four stars instead of five is that while everything was very good, it did not quite reach that unforgettable level. Still, it is a dependable spot for quality ramen in Norwalk.
