    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.

    ** Bait & Switch Pricing - Greedy out of touch owner **…read more Stopped in with my two teenage daughters for a quick snack after school. One ordered a juice, one ordered a smoothie. After taking the order, the staff said they couldn't make the juice. Fine; we agreed to one smoothie split into two cups. Instead, they overfilled two cups. At the register, the owner tried to charge me for two smoothies (nearly $12 each). I explained we only ordered one smoothie to be divided. He looked at the cups and said they were full, so I had to pay for two. That's not how ordering works. If he had half a clue, he would've investigated further instead of immediately trying to squeeze the customer. He didn't. He then took one smoothie away from my daughter, said he'd divide the other, went into the back, came out with an empty cup, handed it to me, and told me to divide it myself. After the bait-and-switch and then adding insult to injury, I finally broke down and called him an M.F.; though frankly, that's too generous he is really just a low-life POS. He responded by calling me a cheapskate and telling me to get out (in front of my kids). For the record, both daughters also bought other items in this already overpriced store. This wasn't about money. It was about refusing to be taken advantage of. Maybe this kind of conduct flies somewhere wherever he is from, but it's not how business is done in the U.S. or in Westport. And last I checked, the basic rule still applies: the customer is always right, especially when the facts are this clear. Plenty of better options nearby (GG & Joes has better smoothies!). We won't be back.

The portions are quite generous. Now for the food. We started with Moroccan Cigars; Merguez wrapped in phyllo, very yummy. I had the Eggs Sophie; crispy potato latkes, smoked salmon, top with sunny side eggs and a small salad. The Avocado Toast with sunny side eggs, feta cheese on a multigrain toast was delicious. Shakshuka ( regular or spicy) careful with the spicy, eggs, peppers, feta, cilantro with stewed tomatoes was equally delicious. The Schnitzel and waffles delicious, copious serving. No room for desert. They have a full bar. There a children's menu. Definitely will go back.

    STAY AWAY: An Insult to Israeli Cuisine and Common Sense…read moreRating: 0/5 Stars As an Executive Chef and an Israeli citizen, I am rarely speechless, but "Blondit" managed to achieve a level of stupidity beyond comprehension. Let's start with the name. In Hebrew, blondinit is often used as a derogatory shorthand for a shallow, vacuous, or "clueless" woman. It is incredibly fitting that the owners chose this name, as it perfectly reflects the restaurant's operational philosophy: total, unadulterated ignorance. The entire experience was an exercise in deception. This isn't just a bad kitchen; it's a "fake" restaurant. They have no understanding of the ingredients they are handling or the culture they claim to represent. The menu is a work of fiction. What you order is never what arrives because the kitchen staff clearly doesn't know what they are making or selling. The "Food": A Culinary Disaster * The "Cigars": The menu promised delicate Moroccan cigars in crisp phyllo dough. What arrived were heavy, leaden, grease-soaked eggrolls. * The Lamb Burger: This was a masterclass in how not to cook. The meat was over-processed to the point of having the texture of "guppy poop" and was salted so heavily it was borderline toxic. * The Halloumi Fiasco: They topped the burger with Halloumi--a squeaky, salty cheese that does not melt. Placing a cold, rubbery slab of salt on top of an already oversalted, mushy patty shows a fundamental lack of basic culinary knowledge. The Environment: A Health Hazard If the food wasn't insulting enough, the atmosphere was stomach-turning. While I was attempting to navigate the inedible mess on my plate, there were kids vomiting in the dining area. Multiple children were getting sick, and the staff acted as if it were a routine occurrence. No one cared, no one rushed to clean it properly, and no one seemed concerned about the obvious health risks. I should have taken the vomiting children as a warning sign. I left the restaurant feeling ill and ended up getting violently sick from the few bites I actually managed to swallow. This place is an embarrassment to Israeli hospitality. It is fake food run by people with zero understanding of cooking. Save your money, save your stomach, and stay far away from this disaster. I will never return.
