Stopped by Red Poke's new location for a solo lunch today and I'm really glad I did. They moved from next door and the upgrade is noticeable -- the new space has nice tables and a much better vibe overall. The service was fast without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when you're dining alone on a lunch break. And of course, the poke was delicious -- that part hasn't changed. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying sit-down meal, this place hits the spot. Highly recommend checking out the new location! read more

Obsessed. Anything w those warm sweet potato noodles. So fresh, delish, truly great every single time. Love love love salmon w sweet potato noodles w all the add ons and wasabi ginger. Yum!!!!! read more

The poke here is pretty good. The fish tasted fresh and for a medium at $15 you get a decent sized bowl. I wish they had more topping options though and half of them are additional. Overall good if you're craving a bowl, but I've definitely had better. read more

Red Poke - medium poke bowls - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

This will be my new go-to spot for fast casual food near Central Park. The portions are great, the food is fresh and delicious and the flavor combos are exciting. The bowl contains a good mixture of beef, shrimp and salmon (my selections) along with a wide variety of veggies and mix-ins as well as a good base of brown rice. The bowl was solid and a perfect meal for anyone looking for good healthy and hearty fast casual with a Korean twist. Service was fast and easy - you fill out a menu with a marker, hand it to the person and they make it for you. They also provide water there as well. read more

This place is great. The fish is really fresh and they surprisingly give you a good amount of it. There's a great selection of toppings and they're unlimited (love!), with a few being an up charge (like the avo). You can either do a custom bowl or order one of their signatures- if you do a custom you can use a dry erase marker + plastic menu to mark it which I really liked because then you don't feel so pressured to order. My only complaint was that we asked for our sauces on the side and they didn't give us any so we got sauce-less bowls hence the 4 stars. Super disappointing being that we spent around $33 for these. I'd definitely give it another chance in the future and double check for sauces! read more

Delicious poke and cool ordering system with the menus you can draw on to sell your toppings! Pretty cheap as well, and there are so many toppings options. The bowl size is pretty big, but you can pack the rest to go home! The restaurant itself is quite clean and very bright! read more

This place is alright - it's good in a pinch such as before going to a show, but I feel like the portions are crazy. I got a medium bowl with tuna and salmon and tons of toppings and it was like 5-6 cups of brown rice with 1 cup of fish and toppings. It's just way too much rice for the small amount of toppings. It feels like a waste of money because I'm not eating all that rice. Maybe they should offer half salad half rice. I got two buns. The beef one is great, but the pork one tastes like vomit. It not only ripped the bun in half bc it was soggy but the flavor was disgusting. I had one bite and spit it out. The workers are quick and friendly though. The space is huge inside and there is a lot of tables to sit out which makes it good to wait in before a show. read more

This is a great spot for a quick and satisfying lunch. Unlike other poke places, Red Poke offers not only raw fish but also a variety of cooked protein options, making it a perfect choice for those who aren't fans of raw fish but still want to enjoy poke. They also have a wide selection of sides with no limit on how many you can choose. A medium bowl is $13.75, and a large is $16.50--I usually go for the medium, which is plenty for me. The shop also has some seating available if you prefer to dine in. Definitely a solid choice for poke lovers and newcomers alike! read more

Recently tried Red Poke in Midtown, New York as a quick lunch. This restaurant is located right in the middle of Midtown on a busy street so there's not many parking options. As soon as you enter the store you are greeted by a very nice ambience. The store is very clean, but there's not many seating options on the inside of the store. I visited this place right at lunchtime so there were quite a few people ahead of me, but the line moved pretty quickly. I loved this restaurant because you can choose between raw or cooked meat and they also have many different protein options like cooked salmon, cook shrimp, Chicken, but they also have raw fish for the sushi lovers. You put your order down on a piece of paper and you check different boxes and then you hand the paper over to the cashier which puts in your order. I love this place because they make the food right in front of you And all the ingredients look extremely fresh. My order took less than five minutes and I decided to order a bowl with white rice, salmon and tuna. For my topping I opted for cucumber, edamame, onion, scallions, Nori, and tempura flakes. When it came to the sauces I picked the spicy Sriracha and the wasabi aioli. The portion size was very reasonable when put in comparison with the price, which was less than $20. The bowl tasted absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the sauces made it even more tasty. I would definitely recommend this place to any local and to any person visiting New York. read more

Wanted to have a healthy meal, high levels of activity and traveling. Thought red poke would be the right place. Everything tasted fine and was generally OK. Nothing special. Price was moderate. The next day, both my daughter and I had bathroom issues. This was the only common food place we ate at. read more

I've somehow never had poke before and yes, I was missing out. I decided to try this place for a fast bite before a comedy show and was not disappointed. I was however the tiniest bit flummoxed by the ordering process. Once I figured it out, I had the best bowl of food I'd had in a while. It's was so good, I'd been thinking of it for days later. Something about the spice and warmth of the sauce The store itself was clean with large tables. And the service was efficient and quick read more

Great spot - but someone messed up the UberEats custom medium bowl ordering and got rid of white rice as a base option. Please fix!

Ordered a Salmon bowl for lunch and it was fantastic - the fish was super fresh, the staff were friendly when I picked it up, and it was plenty of food. One drawback is that relative to toppings there's an aggressive amount of rice. If there was a bit less rice and more of the toppings it would be a solid 5/5 read more

Honestly my favorite poke spot, I've a tried a few others but I can't catch a flavor I like... other favorite is alllll the way in Colorado -_- The bowl that steals my heart is their signature red poke! This is the first time I went to this location in the theater district, the one I'm familiar with is nearer to the Port Authority. Wish they have more locations & ones to bring in NEW JERSEY (*hint hint corporate!!*) Space is clean & lots of seating! The service is quick & fast, my bowl was ready in like 3 minutes! But it's still early dinner time. Otherwise I highly recommend :) read more

I ordered a spicy pork bowl. There was so much meat and sauce, I could barely eat it and threw it away. It was basically a bowl of mush with very little rice and very little of anything else. I also ordered pork dumpling and it had very little flavor - tastes like veggie. The sauce has good flavor but that's about it. read more

Disappointing experience overall. I went into the store to order, it was not crowded. It's a really confusing layout - I went up to the counter to order and they told me I had to go to the other side of the store and write my order on a menu with a marker. Doesn't really make sense as they have the same assembly line setup as any other poke place. When I brought my order back, the guy behind the counter completely ignored me (walked by multiple times) and then proceeded to serve another guy who was behind me in line. The bowl itself was subpar. The toppings were the stingiest I've ever seen. I paid an extra dollar for kimchi and got a thimble full, and the "tamago" is just a couple paper thin, fingernail-sized shreds. Really pathetic. The fish serving was about average though I will say. read more

It's just good Poke. Felt like writing a review for this despite it being corporate take out lunch because it's so rare that I find a good noodle base at a Poke takeout but Red Poke has a very diverse selection of not only protein but also carb base and sauce. I'd say for those reasons it's my favorite in the city. Also does not get lost in the sauce and maintains clean flavor. read more

Red Poke - Create Your Large Bowl (cold Japchae, raw salmon, raw tuna, (Summer Special) Yuja Yellow Tail, wasabi aioli - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

PRO: The food was fresh, looked good, and tasted delicious. My husband and both did the "make your own" bowls, mine the medium, his the large. The range of extra salad toppings was good. The salmon and tuna tasted good. The green sauce (the spicy one) was GREAT. We both really enjoyed our lunch. After so much pizza, it was nice to have something more healthy. CON: I've had poke in Phoenix and LA. The portion sizes are a bit bigger in Phoenix and they had more options both for fish and toppings there. RE "bathroom issues": neither of us experienced any. I'll admit that sometimes poke does get things moving a bit more quickly for me; that didn't happen not this time. I'd suggest that if you don't regularly eat poke, your internal microme might not be used to it. I wouldn't blame this restaurant as it was very clean and the fish had no "fishy" smell at all. read more

Amazing service! Amazing food! Organized system, very chill and very inviting place. I love Red Poke so much! Raw protein is always fresh!!! I enjoy eating my lunch, its sooooo good!!! Thank you Red Poke for being amazing!! You guys are the best! read more

The best poke I've honestly ever had. The options are endless, the portions are generous. Even ordering is made simple and they work fast. I got salmon poke with the beef bulgogi over a bed of greens and rice. I loved the unlimited options of toppings and ended up trying most. The creamy kimchi dressing was surprisingly the perfect kick to the bowl but I still neededbthe ponzu sauce on the side. I ate the whole thing and didn't feel heavy or bloated. And the healthy serving of avocado was only $1!!! The bowl was only $17, very reasonable for the quality and overall quantity. I am so impressed with this place and will definitely be coming back. read more

Just found my new poke spot - I've been ordering regularly from uptown poke for years but after a few less than ideal slip ups we decided to try out a new place and boy, I'm glad we did. Red Poke has a more limited menu of toppings and crunches, but what they do offer they knock out of the park - the quality seems just a cut above and the pricing is still on par with uptown. Quality of the fish is excellent, and the flavor of the bowl was exceptional. Only ordered delivery so can't comment on service or ambiance in the restaurant itself but if you're looking for poke in the top half of Manhattan this is currently one of the strongest options out there! read more

Red Poke in New York, NY. My love for @redpokenyc goes waaay back! It's a healthy Korean poke bowl that offers raw options and cooked marinated meat options. It always hits the spot! it's fast food, but it all taste, homemade, and the service is super fast. There's plenty of seating indoors I would highly recommend this place for delivery, takeout or dine in! Insta: @thehungrysw read more

Was nearby the other day and decided to check this place out for dinner, and I'm glad I did! There are plenty of seats inside with a well lit and clean interior. You grab a menu and marker at the entrance, mark what you want, and hand it to the person at the counter. The food will be ready almost immediately. I got the ray grilled salmon bowl - it was delicious. Definitely a fast and easy casual dine-in experience. There's also a restroom for customers only, and you'll need their key. Overall would recommend! read more

I caught this place on a whim. The pics of food in the window lured me in! I got the Salmon Bowl. Talk about flavor. The rice is flavored with sushi seasoning. I added ginger sauce on the side and I didn't feel like I needed it. You can choose your toppings and it's a nice variety. Perfectly cooked grilled salmon. Fish eggs, avocado, cucumbers and scallions were the best accents. Guilt free eating! I can do this place a lot! You're gonna pay for this yumminess. My small bowled totaled $15, I consider it a treat. It's literally how you would make your food at home, quite the pleasure. The staff was friendly and helpful to me being a 1st timer. They guided me through the order process and let me know all I can have that's included in the cost. Definitely a hit- I say you give it a try. We may run into each other there as I will be back. Enjoy! read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick place to eat before seeing a show. We found Red Poke and were pleasantly surprised. You order by checking off items on the menu and bring it up to the front. We both got the signature YSL bowl and enjoyed. Service was very quick and our bowls came out great. It was super cute and inviting in the restaurant. I would return again for a quick bite. read more

I love Red Poke!! It's my favorite poke place in the city (disclaimer-- this is a vegan review so based on vegan options; I'm not really reviewing the fish / meat quality). For vegan bowls, I've had them at many places. Red poke has a Korean twist on poke bowls. I love their option to make half and half bowls (half salad, half starch/ carb). I always get the sweet potato noodle option with mixed greens. The baked tofu is perfectly seasoned and cooked. I love their large variety of toppings options and the different sauces. I have been here several times and ingredients always taste fresh. Bowls are fully customizable or you can choose one of their menu item bowl suggestions. Customer service is friendly & fast. The only thing is that price does run ~$13 for the vegan option (same as if you got the meat/ fish) and I personally feel that it should be cheaper for not getting the fish /meat. They also have some sides such as doen jang soup and gyozas. COVID update- no dining in, just take out. Overall I love Red Poke as a go to place for tofu poke bowls, and a yummy healthy meal. read more

I haven't eaten in here, but the takeout is very good. 3/4 of a medium bowl is plenty to fill me up at one meal, and I appreciate the variety. They have sufficient gluten-free options, which are not marked in their online ordering interface but are marked on a separate PDF menu on their website. read more

As a person that doesn't gravitate towards poke bowls normally, I would say that this Red Poke is a great location! The menu comes with a pre-crafted list of poke bowl options, but you are also able to make your own. I got the Young Sook Lee Bowl with a base of brown rice and quinoa. The bowl was flavorful and the sauce tied it together well. It was decently priced (~$14) for a medium bowl. The restaurant also had a nice open layout for customers to sit and eat! read more

It was my first time trying out this spot and I really enjoyed the meal. The service was pretty good and the employees were very patient with explaining the ordering process to me. I was also able to try out some sauces before othering my food. The restaurant is pretty spacious with different kinds of seating like table and counter top seating by the window. To order you grab a menu and a market and you get to choose all the ingredients you want for your poke bowl. You get to choose your base, proteins, sauces and toppings. They also have a few other items like pork buns and I would love to try that out next time. My plate was delicious, I had the salmon and shrimp poke bowl. The other bowl was pretty tasty aswell it had salmon and spicy pork. Love the food here, can't wait to be back. read more

OK, is this as good as Poké in Hawaii? Or Pokeworks? No. But it's still pretty solid. This place has a Korean bent, with Korean meats and Korean sauces if you're into that sort of thing. The actual food is pretty good, but I wish they used sushi or vinegar rice. I still give it five stars because they do a good job. And, it appears as though they're taking the coronavirus thing very seriously. Enforced social distancing, menus and pens that are sanitized with ultraviolet light, masks everywhere, and spotless store. The food was pretty good as well. read more

I got the Tuna & salmon Poke bowl with wasabi ginger aioli and basically ALL of the toppings (that didn't cost extra lol) The bowl was very tasty and I loved the creamy wasabi ginger aioli--I could really taste the wasabi and ginger flavor! They also give a good amount of protein. This spot has a fusion of Korean and Japanese poke flavors. They have kimchi aioli, wasabi ginger aioli, fresh scallop as a protein and japchae as a carb choice which I found unique from other poke spots. Also the ordering process is super seamless. Once you enter, there are dry erase markers and menus where you check off exactly what you want with your name on it and just hand it to the cashier, and within minutes your order is ready Overall, a great lunch spot with a cozy and cute atmosphere--and their music was on point!
