This is my go-to poke stop in Maryland for several reasons. 1) the staff are prompt and respectful 2) the food is fresh and the serving environment is clean. 3) they are fairly generous with rice and fish, and actually put vinegar in their sushi rice. If you like poke, this place is definitely worth a try read more

I don't know if this location is associated with the one in the Rio or not. I personally prefer the Rio location. The extra toppings and such are out for the customer to select and put on their bowls at the Rio location. I also just didn't enjoy my bowl as much this time. Maybe it was the combination I selected. All the food was fresh though and the person behind the counter was very friendly and service oriented. I also liked their Miso soup, which I got for a yelp check-in. Poki DC is definitely one of the better Poke bowl places in the area, I just prefer the vibe of the Rio one better. read more

How do you go wrong with poke? When I visited the Spot I actually intended on getting ramen, but the poke bar got my attention. An array of fresh fish and vegetables lined up of your choice. The Spot is great because you can spend a few hours and trying a little bit of sweet and savory. Poki DC made the most sense and they have locations all around the DC area so pop in for lunch or dinner! read more

Worst poke I've ever had, and I've had a lot of poke. This place doesn't claim to be authentic, and it is far from authentic. But even so, I can enjoy good Americanized poke. But this place was just awful. First problem--fish was not fresh. I didn't even eat all of it because some of it tasted very off, like it had gone bad. Even the fish that didn't taste off was definitely not fresh. Second problem--the fish portions were tiny. I ordered half salmon, half tuna. There were maybe like a few cubes left in one of them, and instead of putting what was left in the bowl and then getting a fresh batch to fill up the scoop, she just put the few cubes in the bowl. It was like, maybe three or four cubes of that fish. WTF. Third problem--the toppings weren't great either. The mango they gave me was not ripe. It was hard, and flavorless. They could've done a better job with frozen mango. Fourth problem--the portions are very small. Like she gave me very little, even of the rice (*eye roll*). I had lower expectations for a place in Rockville, but this defied even those expectations. At the very least, the fish should be fresh. read more

Pretty cool workers, made my bowls wrong and gave me the incorrect bowls too lol. The ahi tuna is a little too fishy some days but generally it's fine or I just go for salmon read more

No lines at 11:45am on Saturday! Good service, nice staff. So healthy and yummy. Decided on poke because Mian was mobbed. Did not regret it - there were no tables left inside, so went to eat at Town Center. $11.50 for 2 proteins. Drinks are canned or bottled, no fountain. Free parking lot, enter on Beall Avenue, overflow parking is in the underground lot. There is currently no gate to get in the underground lot, but that might change. Make sure you park in the sections marked Retail. read more

Solid place. Fish was fresh. Price was good too. Could use some additional add ons but everything we had was great. Wish there were more drink options too, but we were there for the food! read more

My first poke bowl ever and I loved it. The menu was well organized and guided you in ordering. By the time you select all your options, you have a rather large and substantial meal! It was actually too much for just me in one sitting. I love the customization and the portions were quite generous, hence the overflowing bowl. Thoroughly enjoyed! read more

Came here around noon on Tuesday. While walking in , I've noticed that there was a Poki DC which I was happy about. There wasn't any customers at that time so I took the chance to try it . I usually get poki in Virginia located in the block, which is really good and I was hoping that this Poki spot could exceed it since I live in the moco area, but I was highly disappointed. I ordered the two protein bowl which contained spicy tuna and salmon. As I was watching them make it, I saw how very little they gave for each thing . The amount of rice I received was less than half and the bowl itself wasn't even filled to the half line. I'm not sure if they're still in the process of training but I wasn't satisfied with my first visit with Poki DC. I guess I expected too much from them. Also for a bowl at a price of 12.19 with tax, that's pretty expensive for what I got. It wasn't very fulfilling. Two stars for that. On the positive note, the protein was very fresh and the employee recommended me a crunch topping which was pretty good when mixed together with the protein and base toppings. She was very patient as well since I was taking a bit too long. Adding an extra star for that ! Overall It was an ok experience read more

This place takes FOREVER. The food is okay as long as you're not in any kind of rush. Ordered a tempura curry bowl, which took THIRTY MINUTES to come out. People GIVE BIRTH in less time than that. After I waited the initial 20 minutes, I asked about my order. The lady told me it would be out in 2 minutes, so apparently they don't know how to tell time either. When the food finally came out, I got some excuse about how there's only one chef on duty. Uh, cool. Not my problem. For how much they charge, they could afford to hire a second chef. read more

I give this place 5 stars mostly for the unlimited amount of toppings you can add to your poke bowl. They have a lot of unique base options, including zucchini noodles and quinoa brown rice. As for protein options, I always get salmon and ahi tuna; they have both marinated or unmarinated, spicy or nonspicy. They have a ton of different toppings that, as I already mentioned, are all included (except for adding a hard boiled egg...). I've always enjoyed my poke creation, and end up having a ton of food with all the toppings I add! read more

I've been there couple times now. During my last visit, I had the chicken and shrimp as my protein and half salad half brown rice quinoa as my base. There are plenty of options on toppings and sauces. I love being able to add extra imitation crab and seaweed as topping. Definitely worth checking it out if you are looking for a quick healthy meal at the spot. read more

Had DC Poki for lunch today. I had the brown rice and quinoa. Topped it with Ahi Tuna and Shrimp. With all the toppings. Pretty darn good. The schiracha mayo could have been a little spicier. But all in all it was satisfying! read more

My daughter and I really enjoy poke, but we were really disappointed by the portion size of the protein picked....

I went here with a coworker for lunch yesterday. While the taste is okay, I've definitely been to other Poke shops in the DMV area, and you don't really get that much for what you're paying. While not bad, there wasn't really anything outstanding about Poki DC. read more

I'll preface my review with the fact that I've been to the Rio location in Gaithersburg, and loved it. This weekend, I ate at their Rockville location with a friend. Your experience seems to depend on the person serving you. The guy scooping my fish and toppings clearly couldn't hear me, and was scooping items seemingly at random (before I had even named them). He was also stingy with the fish (maybe 3-4 pieces per scoop). My friend, on the other hand, had someone else serving her, and her scoops were much more generous. Sadly, it was the most disappointing poki experience I've had in the area (other than Nalley Fresh, which doesn't specialize in poki, so they're off the hook). The flavors were on point, but the service left much to be desired. I will say that Poki DC responded to my review on Square, and offered to make it up to me, so good on them for their response to my less than satisfactory experience. Hopefully my return visit will be more positive! read more

They had 2 ppl in their booth but it took forever for them to make dishes. I seriously never been to any of places that takes this much long time to make poke.. i mean *put the ingredients into the bowl* read more

To be frank, Poki DC was mediocre at best... I am a huge poke fan and I have had my fair share of poke from all over the place. This place is not comparable to some of the better poke places I've been to. The portion was not worth the price and the ingredients weren't amazing. Considering it's a "food hall" type of location, I didn't give it any less than 2 stars since my expectation wasn't that high to begin with. I do hope that they will improve since it hadn't been opened for very long when I visited. read more

Everything was great!! But you forgot to pack the miso soup that I paid extra. Thanks.

The quality and freshness of the ingredients is poor. The bowl is not worth the money. My radish was either oxidized or even rotten. They shouldn't be serving food that might be rotten and could cause people to be sick. Overall the poke bowls are over rated. read more

Love coming here, food is always amazing and fresh. Note a huge fan of raw fish but it is really good here

Don't bother with the other pokes around town. I've had them and they don't compare to the selection this one has. Tiny food court like set up but yet much better than the stand alones elsewhere. read more

Great spot for lunch, dinner, and/or snack. Open until 11pm on weekdays and 12am on weekends. Super fast service and fresh fish. Lots of toppings to pick from. I love getting half zucchini noodles and half sushi rice. If you come with someone else, since this is located inside the food hall, you can get poke and they can get hand pulled noddles. read more

Took over 20 minutes to make 2 bowls. Sat and watched them standing around walking around behind with 7 people working. Making our food with the same gloves he touches his personal phone with and the register. Would never go back. read more

Loved this new option in the Rio. The place was nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the ingredients were fresh and colorful. The fact that I could run in quick, pick out my ingredients and have a nice refreshing meal was a wonderful part to my day! read more

Food was good, concept is great (love the free unlimited veggies). But a big issue for me--management uses Square for credit card purchases. Square = unwanted spam e-mails :( Think about it management, do you personally like getting spam e-mails? It's even worse to get them when the only possible "consent" you could have given was swiping your card with the intent to purchase a product (not agree to marketing spam). A proper response isn't, "you can click unsubscribe after the first time we bug you." Square doesn't respect opt-out filters in their program and I'm already annoyed at wasting my time with a business I already gave money to. Square, Constant Contact, and other auto-spam marketing companies aren't necessary to thrive. You'll earn a better reputation by always making "opt-out" a customer's default instead of automatically opting them in. Yelpers--this doesn't have to be our "new normal". I hope you'll join me in asking businesses (and credit cards) to stop this auto-spamming trend! read more

Not many poke places to choose from in the Rockville area, so while it's not the best I've had, it's pretty good. Lots of options to choose from and ingredients are fresh. read more

First time trying poke and it wasn't too spectacular. I came in on a Friday night before the dinner rush and the staff seemed unhappy to be working there. The food was alright, but definitely overpriced. The protein options were underwhelming and some had run out when I came up to order. Overall, a mediocre experience, would eat again if I was hungry enough. read more

Poki DC is really good and I like coming to this location because its fast and easy, and there's generally seating available. My favorite is adding salmon, mango, & jalapeno (might sound weird but it's a delicious combo). They do charge extra for avocado but it seems like that's just standard. I usually get 2 proteins and it comes out to maybe around $12. read more

This is probably the best Poki place in town! Food was super fresh! I basically eat here EVERYDAY now. Staff is super, it felt like I've known them forever!! One thing tho cheers cut is where it's at(: read more

Disappointing experience at this place. Staff was rude and obviously did not want to be there. Small portions. Fish tasted funky. I spent over $20 on food for my kids and they would not give me a cup of tap water. Wanted me to buy the $4 bottle. There are much better options close by. read more

We initially went because it was the only place without a line but did not regret it - delicious poke with raw and cooked options.

Good concept with the seafood and toppings and other goodies that you can have put in your bowl. Yummy. However, no napkins. When I asked why the attendant/cashier just giggled. Maybe they simply ran out. Hopefully keep more in stock for next time. We always need a napkin like we need a fork. :) read more
