We walked in and the place had a couple of customers but it wasn't busy. The worker at the counter told us we could either put out order on the computer or select our items on the paper menu and give it to him when we were ready to order. Since it was our first time in here we decided to look at the options to add to our poke bowl or maybe just pick one of their signature bowls. I ended up creating my own (my selection is one of the pictures below) I was blown away with how packed my bowl was. I was super excited to take the first bite and was even happier when I was not disappointed by the combination of flavors in my mouth. I was truly blown away with the quality of the food here and how satisfied I was. Everything tasted fresh and the service was great! Definitely come by and check this place out. If poke bowls arent your thing they also have some fun drinks like boba.

This is a counter service restaurant but they do bring your food out to you. Firstly any place that serves ramen and burgers gets two thumbs up from me and the hubby; we both can eat our favorites! I ordered a single cheeseburger. Straightforward burger that tastes like a burger. Yes! Nothing worse than a burger that is trying to do too much. The onion rings were outstanding! We also ordered the pork belly cheese fries which were loaded with pork belly..no stinginess there and the kickin' sauce was good! The hubby ordered the street style yakimen which was not only beautiful but super filling. He loved the flavors and already is planning a return visit to try the poke bowls. A definite gem in the West End!

I came here for the first time for lunch. I never went to it before when it was a poke-only place,…read moreso I was interested to try the new place out. They had more on the menu than I expected, from smash burgers, to buttermilk fried chicken to, obviously, poke bowls. I built my own bowl, and was very happy with the result. Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. My only small gripe was that I could tell the pineapple was not fresh and obviously canned. The jalapenos were fresh sliced and added a bit of heat, which is perfect. I feel like this is one of those places I could come back multiple times and get different combinations of things in the menu.

The inside was messy with boxes in the main dining area, service was decent but not as good as before, and unfortunately the food has slipped as well. The poke bowl had noticeably less protein, and the ramen, while still tasty, lacked the depth of flavor it once had. Maybe this is just part of the transition and some growing pains, but it's hard not to notice the difference from top to bottom. This used to be a little gem, and I truly hope it finds its way back to what made it great in the past.

The workers were friendly and eager to help which made the ordering process smooth. There were only a few tables indoors, so we sat at a table outside. I decided to build my own poke bowl, and my friend got a poke burrito. There was a good variety of protein and topping options, and for the price the bowl was decently sized. I usually like to get my sauce on the side rather than in the bowl, but when I asked for the sauce on the side the worker informed me that there would be an extra charge for that. Due to that, I decided to just get the sauce in the bowl, but I thought that was a bit strange since most other eateries do not charge extra for that. Luckily, I ended up liking the sauce I chose and I enjoyed the bowl, so aside from that I had a good experience dining here!

Everything today was super fresh. I went with a mix of tuna, spicy tuna, and marinated tuna with gochujang, and every bite was on point. The rice was perfectly sticky, the toppings were crisp, and you can really tell the ingredients are high quality. I did a half-and-half base and added extra protein, and honestly, for about $20 with tip, it felt like a great deal. I used to pay closer to $30 for something similar back in Nashville, so this is definitely a win. Safe to say this is going into my regular rotation.

Today was in the upper 70's so Poke Star was the perfect choice. They have some signature bowls and my husband always gets the Volcano Bowl. I like to make my own combo of ingredients. Just fill out the order sheet provided with all the things you want and hand it to the worker who will build it. Today I chose a lettuce base, marinated tuna, some onions, carrots, cucumber, pineapple and then topped with wasabi sauce and sweet soy. For crunch I added tempura and wonton strips. The service there is always fast and friendly. They never take long to make each bowl so if you're in a hurry this is a great place to stop that's going to faster than any drive thru in town. I was eating in today so I chose one of the high tables. My husband was joining me with his Volcano Bowl, and we also got a fountain drink. I'm not sure what type of lettuce mix they use but it was the freshest and crunchiest I've ever had. I get salads at other build your own type places, but they are never this cold and crisp. Highly recommend getting it here if you are usually a rice base type person. Dining room is spotless as always. I can always find a clean table to sit and the beverage area is also kept spotless every time I've been in. Poke Star has been in this location for quite a few years unlike other places that come and go so you know they are doing something right.

Great flavor, well balanced sweetness, and a lot of creative options. Everyone in our family loved their drinks. The poke bowls were very tasty as well and packed with flavor. Tons of choices and combinations, so it's easy to build something exactly how you like it. The only thing holding this back from a full 5 stars is portion balance. All four bowls we ordered were very heavy on rice, and a bit more protein would have gone a long way. That said, everything was fresh and flavorful. With slightly better protein portions and less rice, this would easily be a 5 star spot.
