Amazing!!! Very fresh! The Brussel Sprouts are the cherry on top! I Highly recommend this spot!

The staff here is very friendly and attentive. We found an online deal so we decided to try it. This was an ok bowl. I was a bit disappointed because even though the regular comes with 3 scoops of protein, realistically it's not that much. They use the tiniest ice cream spoons scoopers they could find. They cut the fish in big pieces so you get like 3 pieces of fish. Their spicy tuna is a salad and mixed so it's more like a puree. The rice is good. I mixed the rice with some salad greens and that adds a good balance for me. You get 5 toppings to add to your bowl then they charge extra per extra toppings. They also have dry toppings like onions and garlic and it's a good addition and flavor oils too. They also have a boba bar but we didn't try it. They have bottle drinks like coke and teas to purchase on a fridge by the register. The inside is clean and it has enough space but it's not a big place. They have tables and a couch like seating. They do not have outdoor seating. They are in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking spaces. Definitely a busy area but we came after the rush so it was easy get to and to order once there. Overall is an ok place for a lunch meal. I'm not sure if I would pay for the full price but I would get the online deal if available and I'm in the area. read more

The Poki is hidden in the tiny Brentwood House strip mall on Franklin Road in the heart of Brentwood. But this average looking exterior gives way to a very cozy and modern space inside! It's a popular lunch spot with a steady flow of patrons. You can order on a touch screen when you walk in, or online in advance, or simply in person with human guidance. The various fish options for their poke bowls are okay - I've tried them all - but none are terribly exciting. They're just average. But I would highly recommend the exceptionally fresh cilantro and pickled ginger, as well as the crispy shallots and garlic toppings. The rest is pretty average, but it gets the job done. read more

Food Excellent! Everything was so fresh and there were plenty of options. Service I appreciated being able to sample the proteins before choosing one's for my bowl. Also, the lady making the boba tea was very bubbly and made us feel welcome. Keep in mind, the tea is handled in a different part of the restaurant with its own kiosk. Ambiance Plenty of natural light and had a few seats inside. Definitely will be going back! read more

This used to be our favorite place. I raved about it, saying it was better than the poke bowls I had in Hawaii! We used to come here at least once a week. The last few years everything changed and we stopped coming often. We were about to order when we saw an employee with no shoes on, wearing food glove while on their phone. Stood up to come serve us with that same glove. No thank you. So disappointed. read more

3 scoops of protein in a regular bowl is REVOLUTIONARY!!! This restaurant was so cute and clean inside it was a great place to meet with my friend to talk over some poke. service was phenomenal as well, very helpful and I was served with a smile. I would recommend to anyone searching for poke in the area! read more

Came in after lunch rush about 2-3pm. Place was nice and clean but fish was not good. The spicy tuna was almost brown and tasted old. Regular tuna was ok and salmon was slimy. It was expensive for how little fish you get in each scoop. Even the additional toppings were extra which is fine but if you're going to charge extra for avocado at least let it not be browning. The rice was good and the options for different premixed flavors on some of the fish was interesting. Though not sure they combined well with additional sauces. I was surprised to see they had framed by reviews about how good they were on their wall. Looks like they were from 5 years ago. Overall it gets the job done but wouldn't try again. read more

Great food and service! Easy parking, plenty of seating, fast service, and plenty of options to customize your bowl.

Super fresh a good ingredients, clean restaurant, and helpful and friendly staff. They have a lot of options in terms of ingredients. While there are some standard options I recommend doing a build your own so you can customize based on your preferences. Their sauces are really good, and they have more options in terms of sauces and flavored oils than most Poke places. Definitely a great spot for poke, and I will be back! read more

Got the smoki poki. It was nice bowl but I wasn't impressed by the torched chicken. i definitely regretted not ordering something with seafood. There was nothing wrong with the chicken but next time I'm ordering the classic king tuna bowl. Main complaints is the tiny water cups. Staff was really nice and friendly. I butchered a joke about how many puffer fish were killed to make their sign and they laughed politely. The customer is never wrong,, but they can tell terrible jokes. God bless the staff for at least trying to laugh. Definitely coming back to try the classic king tuna though. Will try again and get more of a proper seafood poke. read more

This is one of the best poke bowls anywhere. Some interesting toppings like chopped up Serrano peppers and watermelon radish. I always go with Octopus/Salmon/Spicy tuna three proteins. They have a punch card as well you can fill up for a free one after 10. It's right by where I work often. Big fan! read more

This place does not poke around! I have spents months in Hawaii on military assignmemt and the Poke more than holds its own. In fact, it is probably the best poke I have had im the continental United States! Nestled in a modest building in Brentwood, Poke is unassuming. You order at the counter and choose among two sizes of bowls, base rice, proteins, toppings, sauces, and garnishes. The dried watermelon is the most unique topping. Everything is fresh and well sourced from what I could tell. The symphony of flavors in my bowl was delightful, with a spectrum of sweetness to saltiness and spiciness and blandness. Most enjoyable, reasonably healthy, and less than twenty dollars. Poke purists will note that the flavors are far more varied than the simply fish and rice found in Hawaii. But that is the beauty of innovation and building off of a platform. The Poke achieves this, and to them I tip my Hawaiian hat. read more

Quickly becoming one of my favorite places. Super friendly staff and fresh food. The sauces here are ON POINT! I have only ever gotten the small tuna bowl. But it is so good I don't need to try anything else. I love that you can add extra or take away items. And the staff always suggest their favorite sauce combo so it's easy to try a new flavor rush. read more

NOPE!!! Used to be one of my fav dining spots. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill since late 2022. The quality of food, quantity, and service has gone down significantly. The only thing up are prices, which are frankly, very overpriced for $15.95 for a small bowl of low quality ingredients. The last straw for me was when my kids refused to eat their food. They usually love it, and kept asking to dine here. I took a bite from their bowl and I almost puked in my mouth. The salmon was extremely fishy tasting, and the rice was dry and old.... And they drowned the other bowl in so much sauce to mask the fishy taste and dry old rice. If you are going to charge premium prices, please deliver premium ingredients and service levels like how the former The Poki used to be. read more

I'm already a huge fan of poke so I kind of already knew I'd like this place. Stopped here around lunch time for a take out poke bowl. You have the option of choosing from one of the preset bowls or making your own. I decided to make my own which was kind of nice since you can customize each thing to all of your favorite ingredients! There's also lots of options for the toppings and dressing. The rice was just the right amount of sticky (makes it so much easier to eat with chopsticks), and the salmon was delicious, as salmon always is. Got the classic shoyu for my dressing - it was good and I'd definitely get it again although some of the other options also looked really good so maybe I'd try those out. Definitely satisfied my poke craving, although perhaps a bit pricey for the size. If I lived a little closer, I'd probably be back more frequently. read more

Okay so until recently I hadn't had poke in YEARS. I was too afraid to eat it on the east coast because I lived out West and had zero faith in what I would get here. I love this place! Everything is fresh, the options are clearly labeled by dietary needs, and the staff is patient (when I'm unable to decide what all my proteins should be). Bless them! Any-who, yeah, it's the spot to go if you want to get good and fresh fish. My bowl was pretty awesome. I had no intentions of having poke while busting Nashville. One of my girlfriends insisted that this place would live up to my standards too just as it did hers. The cherry on top was that they had all the best toppings fresh too like ginger, pineapple, edamame, wasabi, carrots, and tons more. I do wish they had more gluten free sauces though! Something creamy would've been right on! read more

YES! Finally, a poke spot that rivals one some of the best on the West coast (Los Angeles, Las Vegas). The Kani (imitation crab mix-in, +50 cents) is actually finely gauged and shredded properly - *not* the peeled apart thick surimi threads you find in most amateur poke shops. This is huge to me, and makes all of the difference. It's all about the Mix-ins and Toppings! So many appealing Mix-ins and Toppings to choose from here. The Classic Shoyu is my favorite dressing. The only gripe I might have with The Poki is the fact that you are limited to 5 Mix-ins. Many of the highest rated shops out West are unlimited mix-in spots - and many even offer free self-serve miso soup and roasted green tea. Regardless, I am thrilled to have found this place, and I will eagerly and proudly spread the word about The Poki to all. Looking forward to eating at the East Nashville location, too! read more

very expensive and hidden fees in the toppings including avocado, seaweed salad, among other items. The bowl was already $20 Before tax. after all was said and done I had a bowl of rice, a small amount of salmon, some seaweed salad and a $27 bill. read more

Solid 4/5 - this was a pleasant surprise on a work night in nashville when i wanted something light and casual - this fit the bill and it wasn't high either :) +1 - food was clean, visibly prepared in front of you, the fish had good taste and was not in heavy smell, all good signs of a fresh fish experience - key for great bowls +1 - staff was friendly and patient and worked to help me get exactly what i wanted on spice, bitterness and meat +1 - there was plenty of parking outside to get in, no concerns there +1 - inside was very clean - you could see that (and smell it too, not in a bad way though) it is smaller inside to sit in so be mindful when you plan for a lunch or dinner hop when you intend to sit down read more

It's not bad, just not great. Place is clean, and well decorated, but the bowls just missed fir a couple reasons. I tried the tuna that had some special seasoning mixed in...honestly the tuna wasn't great. The flavor was ok, but it was poorly trimmed, and i had to spit out a bunch of bites of tuna due to the un-chewability. Secondly, they are super stingy with the extras. Like you only get to pick a couple toppings? Maybe i am just use to pokemoto in gallatin who trims tuna beautifully and gives u unlimited extras. The bowls at this place just lack in creativity because of the limited toppings. 3 stars almost 2. read more

I loved how clean and bright The Poki was when I walked in. I chose a build your own bowl and the server was so helpful explaining their gochujang tuna and all the add-one. I loved that they have oils you can add at the end! This was something I've never experienced before at any place. I chose truffle oil but there was also: garlic, sesame, and other fun varieties to choose from. The fish was fresh and the serving size was a good portion which is so important when getting poke bowls. I loved that the server didn't shame me to ask for more of the same topping (since you're limited to 5 toppings for a build your own bowl) as I've experienced that at other poke places. Luckily I have no shame asking for more! Right now they have a special going on where it's a Nashville hot chicken bowl! read more

I am really happy The Poki opened. Nashville finally has a poke option that has variety and authentic, fresh ingredients. The staff were super helpful in guiding us through the options and making recommendations - the staff genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. I got the traditional poke with a couple of small modifications - fresh rainbow radishes, edamame, and one scoop of salmon. That gave me a good cross-section sample of the ingredients without overwhelming my palate. (Did I just type that? Is That even possible?) Everything consisted of fresh, quality ingredients. The mix of textures and flavors really hit the spot. If not for the really cool Nashville mural on the wall, I might think I was in Waikiki for lunch. I look forward to returning soon! read more

I came here on a Tuesday for lunch and was so impressed! It's an unassuming little hole-in-the-wall in a strip center. The layout is very open and clean feeling. The menu is easy to read and straightforward, which I appreciated. I opted for a Gangnam Tuna bowl and the lady behind the counter helped with suggestions for the different things you could add. The food was fresh and flavorful and I got exactly what I wanted. Although it doesn't LOOK like that much food, trust me, it will fill you up! The woman I spoke to said they are planning a second location soon in East Nashville, and I can't wait! We live on the north side of town and would definitely go out of our way to come here on a regular basis. read more

Nashville is lacking on the Asian food scene, so this new poke spot is a great addition to the suburbs area. They are very new, so I was the only one on this chilly night. There were lots of great topping options, and the bowls are a nice size as well. For the price, you are getting a good amount of fish with delicious toppings and sauces. I was hoping they had a wasabi sauce of some sort, but the sauces seem to be more on the sweeter side to cater to Nashville taste. I got a large bowl, with many toppings and a mix of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail fish. The gojuchang sauce was a little too sweet, as was the shoyu sauce. I liked putting siracha in my bowl, and the meal went down nicely with my topo chico. The large bowl was perfectly filling for dinner. I really hope this place does well, as I will definitely be back next time I'm in Nashville! read more

I'm the type to love sushi, but the seafood has to be fried. I came to this place and just stepped out my comfort zone regarding the seafood. Raw tuna and all that jazz... it was incredible. Super fresh. Also the Kani salad... 10/10. Very very very good. Check it out. read more

Not too bad... I wish they had more of a variety on their menu, but it's nice to build your own bowl. The rice with sesame oil and soy sauce was really yummy. The fish tasted fresh. I had them build me a bowl with what they think is good. It wasn't the best poke I've ever had, but I'll give them another chance. They're new and just getting the ball rolling.

I love poke and have been wanting to try this place for a while! They were out of white rice when we got there, but the brown rice was just as soft and chewy. They have a large array of toppings and give decent portions of protein; I got spicy tuna and salmon, both of which were fresh and delicious. My complaints are 1) there's a 5 count limit on how many toppings you get, and 2) the price is very high. There's other poke restaurants in the area that give you unlimited toppings for less. For two large bowls and two drinks, I paid $50 (ouch). If we got the regular size bowls, we would've gone hungry. I know it's Brentwood, but for an $18 bowl, I should be able to fill it up with veggies! Something that I thought was unique was the option to add infused oils to your bowl--I recommend the truffle infused oil. read more
