    Takoyaki ball 5/5
    Dove Y.

    The beef bowl tastes great! It just that the girl service me that day seem to be impatient and unfriendly.

    So I was unaware that this is a chain but apparently it is. I got the soba noodles with a bunch of fixings, they allowed 25 additional toppings that you can add to your pokebowl. It was a cold noodle bowl that felt refreshing on this hot summer afternoon. Not overly spicy and perfect for the heat.

    Definitely among the better, if not the best, places I've been to in D.C. for a poke bowl, given the wide variety of offerings. I built my own bowl with marinated salmon, marinated shrimp and tuna, which is among the 10 or so protein options. I had toppings of pineapple, mango, Masago, imitation crab and tempura, along with yuzu jalapeño and spicy ponzu sauces. There are about a dozen additional toppings and sauces to choose from and my bowl was about $20.

    ordered the 3 protein bowl with pepper tuna, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, and added extra marinated tuna. The fish was fresh, tender, and generously portioned. The pepper tuna had just the right kick, the spicy tuna was perfectly balanced, and the marinated tuna was fire. I got it over soba noodles and it was refreshing, satisfying, and packed with protein without feeling heavy. They don't skimp on toppings either, and everything tasted super clean and high quality. It was super flavorful and high protein meal.

    I had never tried Poki DC but when I was looking for a poke restaurant, it stood out to me. And let me tell you, it was so good! What really called to me was the zucchini noodles they offer as a base, I love rice in a poke bowl but I was really excited for something a little lighter. And unlike many poke places, Poki DC allowed for unlimited toppings, which is what you hope for when you get poke. The serving size was LARGE for two scoops of protein, which was so filling. I will definitely order from Poki DC again, it was delicious.

    Pick Poke Bowl with 2 Proteins

    Poki DC is such a great place! I went when I was in DC at least twice a week! It is not only fresh, but the options are phenomenal. I always get the two pick protein bowl and it does not disappoint. The salmon and tuna are great and the choice for toppings are also a highlight. Everytime I went I got different toppings to mix it up. It wouldn't be complete without the seaweed salad and crab salad toppings though. If you are in the mood for Poke in DC then Poki DC is the place to go! It also has lots of seating inside in case you want to eat it there and not take it to go.

    Came here with a friend on a very hot spring afternoon. We were about to eat outside but since it was 80°F already outside, we decided to stay and eat here. The air was comfortable and there was a good amount of seating inside. I also loved the fact that they had Blackpink music on repeat. The service was super fast. The only confusing part was where the lines started and ended during the lunch hour rush, especially since they share the space with Gong Cha. It's also nice that they leave out paper bags, chopsticks and napkins out for you to easily grab and go. The price was a little high (DC prices for you), but they do give alot of food (more toppings and base than protein, but that's usually how it goes with poke places). There's a good variety of bases, toppings, and proteins and sauces to choose from. I particularly liked the yuzu jalapeno sauce and the sriracha mayo (the batch I had felt extra spicy!) Loved the seaweed topping and the zoodles and sushi rice base as half and half. The bonito flakes were cool since not many places offer that. Not so sure how I felt about the hijiki salad as it added a strange element in my bowl. All in all, high price, good atmosphere, and good food. I'll only be back if any of my good friends invite me into DC again!

    I visited with a group of 10+ students. The employees were all so accommodating of our large party; they had extra hands helping out to speed up the process, and they were sure to double check our order so we weren't overcharged. A lot of our students never had poke, and they kindly explained everything to them. I ordered a poke bowl with spicy salmon and various toppings. I was most impressed by the huge portions that they give you. If I wasn't super hungry from walking around the city all day, I definitely could have split the meal into two substantial meals. For the price and portion size, I think this spot beats out a lot of its competitors in the area!

    Poke Bowl with 3 Proteins
    Tyra S.

    Order delivery through Ubereats since there was a special BOGO deal. I was pleasantly surprised at how good and full the bowl was. I usually order three scoops of protein at pokè places bc they always skimp on the fish. Here, the spicy tuna scoops were full. Easily could have filled up with just 2 scoops. Would love an option for wonton chips as a side/bowl base but food was still good. Perfect amount of sauce, toppings, balance. Would come back/order again for sure.

    Good spot for a quick lunch. I'm a fan of the zoodle and mixed greens base, but would choose one or the other and mix in rice next time to better hold the dressing. Unlimited standard toppings which all tasted fresh. $2 upcharge for avocado, but guess that's DC pricing

    The best poke in DC!! Some places give too much rice and not enough fish, but the portions here are solid. Love the range of toppings too!

    Fresh fish, good value. I like the marinated tuna. Hijiki sea weed is also good. Like the sushi rice.

    Crowded spot, dirty tables, was very humid and smelling on the inside that I walked out after getting in line.

    It's fresh, fast and doesn't overcharge you for extras. Great spot. And now I need 85 characters.

    Taste good but not cheap for the amount Fast service off…read morepeak hour (5PM) But food has hair in it.

    It's going to pain me to write this review. As someone who has lived on the west coast and has…read moreplenty of L&L chains to visit, this one has got to be one of the most disappointing. I put in an order on the app at 11 on the dot and ordered two items- a mix plate, and a katsu/chicken bbq plate. It's now almost an hour in and it's still not done... I am questioning how service can actually operate when it takes this long for two plates to be made. Meanwhile, I've slowly seen a bunch of plates come out for people who ordered in... not quite sure when they ordered, but when I arrived, no one was at the counter for a few minutes and then someone finally came along and saw my order receipt. I will say, while I love the chain, this specific location is unacceptably slow. The bbq mix plate is also almost $30 which is a hard sell, considering it's a lot cheaper currently in places like San Diego... I'm extremely disappointed and I don't like to give negative reviews, but customer service is lacking the check in that could have alleviated my frustration (since I was told the wait would be 15 minutes tops). I wouldn't recommend L&L in Annandale unless they made changes. Service is too slow, there's a lack of communication, and the meals are way too expensive. Again- I hate writing negative reviews, but time is valuable, and a fast casual place should be better equip with adequate staff with honest timelines. I am a believer of second chances, so please make this right.
