    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!

    Build Create Your Medium Bowl Looks are deceiving - tons of rice deep in the bowl
    Lindsay S.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    Sarah A.

    Very much enjoyed my take-out Young Sook Lee (회덮밥) bowl, which was fresh and had a zing of spice. Appreciated that I was able to order online for pick-up at a specific time and that I could choose "environment friendly" with no bag, napkins, or utensils!

    Create Your Large Bowl with salmon and tuna- super stingy toppings
    Sydney H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pork dumpling

    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.

    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!

We ordered delivery (can't comment on the restaurant space of service) and it arrived hot and fresh. We tried the make your own poke bowl with salmon and tuna (you get to pick two which I really like), over white rice with edamame, cucumber, avocado, mango, sesame seeds, onion crisps, seaweed salad and the poke sauce (with a side of siracha aiolic) along with the two protein BBQ bowl with beef bulgogi and pork katsu, with cole slaw and mac and cheese over hawaiian fried rice with katsu sauce. The katsu was still crispy and while I don't normally care much for fried rice, the hawaiian fried rice was very good. The poke bowl was fresh with a good amount of fish and again, I loved all of the toppings and things that you can add for free (the avocado is extra). Both bowls were very tasty and good sized portions. Given the quality and quantity, the prices were very reasonable (especially compared to other poke places) and I would definitely order from here again.

None of the uncanny AI slop photos of the food ever resemble the actual slop actually being served out of some sketchy nondescript door. There's at least two other fake restaurants besides this one that I've caught operating out of this specific 5th Ave location ("Glazed Hen" Korean fried chicken is another one), but whichever group runs them always sets up the same slate of fake restaurants in the same buildings. 1140 Utica Ave in Brooklyn is another known physical location they operate this scam out of. In the meantime I need for y'all to be a bit smarter when you go on these apps. DoorDash usually labels ghost kitchen junk "virtual brand" in small print on the store page, but UberEats and the rest all lie. If it's a place with a weird name that you never heard of that's delivering at all hours and has a suspiciously high rating on the delivery apps compared to here on Yelp, despite having no internet presence to speak of (no social media) it's a huge red flag. Don't support this scam.

I'm from out of town and maybe it's an expectation of mine to greet customers, and let them know when their order is ready, but there was none of that. The young man and gal were talking amongst themselves and didn't string up conversation or engage in any way shape or form.

It is a small Hawaiian place that serves fresh food. The owner is friendly. The portion size of the food is a lot, so you will definitely not get hungry. Below are a few items that I had tried: Sushi Taco - I typically get ahi tuna or salmon (both are always fresh) mixed with spicy mayo. Hawaiian BBQ Plate - you have the option to do 1 to 3 proteins with 2 sides. The proteins that I typically pick are chicken katsu, bulgogi beef, or grilled shrimp. The sides that I typically pick are seaweed salad, charred broccoli, and crabmeat salad. Poke Bowl - you can't go wrong with picking ahi tuna or salmon (assuming you have no issues eating raw food) as your protein. Gyoza - it is fried and crispy, and I would recommend this over the pork dumplings. Pork Dumplings - it is so-so. The skin on the dumplings is too thick. Spam Musubi - it's just spam meat & seaweed wrapped over rice. Nothing too special. Overall, give this place a try if you're ever around this area!

You get to build your burrito by picking two proteins: charred chicken thigh, herb roasted chicken, tender prime beef, shrimp, ahi tuna (raw), salmon (raw), crabmeat, spicy tuna, or tofu. All burritos include cucumber, lettuce, onion, cilantro, pickled radish, wonton crisps, and avocado. I chose ahi tuna and salmon. I'm used to my scallion pancakes being crispy. Unfortunately, this scallion pancake was kind of soggy. I ate it at a countertop at the front of the store, so it wasn't like I was carrying it in a takeout box and it got soggy over time. I wanted to like it, especially since it's got everything I like: scallion pancake, ahi tuna, salmon, veggies, all wrapped up into burrito form. But the soggy scallion pancake was kind of a letdown.

Regarding my order, the goma shoyu tuna, the fish was good, but not great and for my bowl at least, I felt it was lacking in flavor. I did not taste any chili oil and the only real flavor present in the dish came from the seaweed salad. Chikarashi does not allow you to make your own poke bowl, which I feel is unfortunate. I usually like to get both tuna and salmon and add a bunch of toppings/ingredients and that is not an option for any of their bowls.

But if I had to choose between a bowl of ramen from a Japanese restaurant or this saimin, you can't pay me to choose the latter. It was like a whitewashed version of ramen, in which the broth had a vegetable flavor and not rich at all. The toppings were Naruto slices and bits of veggies. The katsu was ok but not memorable.

So basically two servings in this plate! Despite the generous portion, the food was just alright. We had loco moco from vert frais (jap French fusion eatery in LIC) recently, and that was so much better. The patty here was neither tender nor juicy. The sauce was pretty average but vert frais' was above average. I was really looking forward to the macaroni salad in the plate but they didn't give a lot (they piled it on some rice so it looked like more than it was). The Mac salad was also a little on the plainer side. Only had a couple of carrot shreds I'm tempted to come back to try their seafood but I have my doubts
