Dallas A.

The Scale is a good eating out option for any health-conscious consumers out there. Choose between a variety of sweet and fruity açaí bowls or pick a more savory rice or salad-based bowl topped with meats, sauces, veggies, and other toppings. I tried a build-your-own rice bowl and enjoyed it, though I would have liked more sauce on it and wish the portion size was a bit bigger -- I left feeling hungry, even though I finished my whole bowl. But all of the ingredients seemed fresh, and I'd love to try an açaí bowl sometime.

We had an exceptional lunch here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and were helpful explaining the process of creating a bowl (or choosing one of their signature bowls from the menu. The ingredients were super fresh, beautiful, and delicious. There are some tables inside and outside, though not too many. Most folks seem to get to-go orders though, so even during the lunch rush there were some seats available. The restaurant was nice and clean both inside and out. We've had a lot of poke bowls in a lot of locations, and this definitely stood out as one of the best we've had. Definitely give them a try!

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. We got 2 custom poke bowls. We tried the firecracker and citrus ponzu sauces. Both were good. Nice variety of toppings though the miso pickles were too salty. Decent size portion. Prices have gone up. Outdoor seating only. Located in Blair Park at Kismet building with ample parking.

Firecracker bowl and land lover bowl. Watermelon habanero booch and creme cane sugar soda.

My first time having a poké bowl and it was really good!! The firecracker bowl was delicious. Came with ahi tuna, sriracha aioli, scallions, cucumber, togorashi, sesame seeds, onion crisps, and I added on cabbage slaw, red onion, and seaweed strips... everything was on top of brown rice (you could also choose white rice, zoodles, etc). So good. Everything tasted very fresh. The land lovers bowl was great too with local chicken, pineapple teriyaki sauce, cucumber, gochujang mushrooms, pineapple, scallions, onion crisps, and added jalapeño peppers. Oh, also, both bowls were "regular" size and I thought they came with a substantial amount of food! I was very full after eating mine. The premium açaí bowl was so refreshingly delicious. I split it with my SO but honestly could have happily eaten one all to myself!! Açaí topped with banana, strawberries, blueberries, GF granola, drizzle of honey and added on almond butter. They also have some CBD infused beverages here. I would go here again if/when I'm in the area. Very fresh food and the place was super clean.

I was so excited to hear Poké was coming to Williston. Poké is a Hawaiian dish that can have fresh raw fish, sometimes with marinated veggies, over sushi rice, pineapple, red cabbage. I love that many places today are branching out and using quinoa, veggie noodles, etc. as awesome rice substitutions for those looking to go more low carb. I ordered the Firecracker Bowl with 1/2 spicy salmon and 1/2 spicy tuna, zoodles (zucchini noodles) plus a ton of toppings. I also ordered the smoothie bowl. Both were freaking fantastic. I chose to eat the Smoothie Bowl the next day, so I froze it when I came home. The owner is really nice and staff are super friendly and helpful. They have a separate paying line for those who order online. I'll def be back.

Seattle has a LOT of poke, so the bar was set high for this little place in Burlington. Overall, I was happy! They have lots of options to choose from and you can easily customize your bowl depending on your mood that day. We went around lunch on a weekday and it took longer than I would have liked to get the food, but the staff was so nice and I overall thought it was a good value for the amount of food we got. It's a wonderful place in summer because the majority of seating is outside. If you're going in cooler weather, I would plan I'm taking it to go as seating inside is limited. There's lots of parking nearby and it's a great, fresh addition to the same old chains that have been in the area forever.

I checked this place out while in town for vacation for a quick, healthy dinner. Husband had the large firecracker bowl with spicy tuna, and I had the small classic - we both added seafood salad for the buck extra. We both really enjoyed our meals, but I'm knocking a star off because it seemed pretty expensive for what we got (those 2 meals + drinks was $40). The young adults working were also extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Food is good, priced a little high maybe. Small dining area so if it's busy no place to sit. I only wish that the staff looked like they wanted to be there, every time I've been there, they never greet you with a smile, and they speak so damn quiet you can't hear what they ask you. Other than that I would recommend them, only on the food. Definitely not on the hospitality of the staff. read more

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but now you can only have 5 toppings.

Heard great reviews so thought I'd give it a try! Slightly disappointed b/c I expected it to me a higher scale poke restaurant (maybe better ingredients) than other in VT. I ordered the same exact bowl here as I get from Pokeworks, rice, chicken, variety of toppings. Needless to say I wish I would've just made the drive to Pokeworks in Burlington. Paid double the price for half the amount of food. If you're like me and like more than 5 toppings be prepared to spend $20 for a rice bowl. read more

Specialties

The Scale Poke is Vermont's first poke bowl! Located in Williston, VT The Scale offers build your own poke bowls using sustainably sourced wild fish, local meats and produce. House made sauces, a large selection of gluten-free and vegan items, and a large selection of Vermont beers and wine are available. Online ordering, take out and delivery available.

History

Established in 2018.

The Scale was started by a pair of chefs who were above all else...hungry. We craved a quick, healthy option close to work and home, and were frequently left wishing for more. It all came together on a trip to San Francisco where we had our first mainland style poke bowls. We were immediately hooked. When we returned home, we found ourselves craving poke. After weeks of wishing we could grab a quick bowl, we chose to stop craving and start getting to work. We decided if we can't go to the poke, we'd bring the poke to us!

Maybe the worst treatment of an employee I've ever seen at an eating establishment. The owner laughed at, critiqued and talked down to the person who was preparing my bowl as they were working on it. Talked to them afterwards and said that was the owner, Neil, who did that all the time but they had to put up with it because they were firing people for no discernible reason. The food was fine but with the proliferation of other poke places popping up around Burlington I don't think I will be giving this place my business ever again and I encourage others to do the same. Really just a disgusting display from the person who is supposed to be in charge. read more

The Scale is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I can't rate them high enough!!! We ordered takeout for an office of 20. They delivered and arrived EARLY (unheard of in delivery - Thank YOU!) and the food was 100% fabulous! We can't say enough about the freshness, tastiness and quality of ALL the food. Perry and her staff are absolutely fabulous!! Order without fear - you will NOT be disappointed! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended!! read more

We had two gyros and they were both huge. the vegetables were very fresh. Neither of us could finish the food as it was too much food. Very reasonably priced for the freshness.

We are from Arizona and found the Mexican inspired food to be VERY tasty and authentic. The salsa was a homemade carrot-habanero delight.

Highly recommend the curry chicken. Great portions too. The pasta was good but honestly just cheesey pasta with yummy chicken on top. The fried plantains were amazing too. The only reason for not five stars is that they were out of all their patties and a few other things.

Suvi's is consistently very good. The spice level is accurate and the ingredients are always fresh…read more I've had the beef fresh roll before but tonight it was different. Usually the beef is a ground beef, tonight it was chopped steak. Personally I think the ground beef is better for spring rolls and had more flavor but it was still very good. The Pad See Ew was great. I got it hot and it wasn't lacking. Lots of shrimp as well.

Food is fresh and generous portion sizes. The spice scale starts out at very hot! (In my opinion)…read more If you only like medium or almost no spice, pick mild or pick no spice. My favorite entree is the vegetables with peanut sauce and fresh tofu. I get an extra container of peanut sauce on the side (one ounce). On the pricier end but they do give you a lot of food for each dish. Everything is freshly made, the only thing I could ask for is a little more flavor to each dish. There is flavor on their dishes just not very strong, for example, I can't tell that there's any garlic in any dish I've gotten. But overall they do taste good! Good service and always ready on time when you go to pick it up. They're even thoughtful enough that one time when I was running behind they called to ask when I thought I'd get there so they could try to ensure the food was hot upon pickup. Currently only do takeout (not sure if there's plan to ever have sit down). Parking outside is not an issue, lots of spots in parking lot.
