My boyfriend and I are visiting from Kansas and he is celiac so we decided to try this place because of their gluten-free options. I've never really eaten Pokey so I was planning on going to Taco Bell afterwards. I ended up trying the California roll Bowl and was blown away! The sauce they use is delicious and I literally couldn't stop eating it! Zee made our food and was super friendly and helpful in customizing our smoothies. Give this lady a raise also bring a location to Wichita KS. We'd love to have you! read more

I love poke bowls they are so fun to eat, I love that this place has some vegan/vegetarian options but I do think they could have more options than your usual tofu! read more

I don't know what is going on with this place. I typically place my orders thru GrubHub then go pick it up. I have recieved several orders that were incomplete. The amount of money spent this is unacceptable. Today (06/22) I ordered a small byo poke bowl with kani salad, ahi tuna, mango, carrot, cucumber, quinoa, wonton crisps, sesame seeds and 2 sauces. I recieved a bowl with NO wonton crips, no mango, the tiniest amount of kani salad, 4 cubes of ahi tuna... I am basically left with a bowl of quinoa, cucumber, carrot & sauce!!! I don't know if this location is telling its very young staff to purposely do this to save money or they are just too busy TALKING to get an order correct. I will not be back... I can take my hard earned dollats elsewhere or make my own bowls were its done to my specifications without continues mistakes while still taking all my money with no apologies. SMH read more

Fresh Coast - byo small poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Everything is hand crafted from scratch by the owner. Can't get better than that! Staff was helpful with any questions I had, and atmosphere is a very pleasant space to be in (clean). Menu has a variety of options. By far the best place for any fruit bowl, anything along those lines and more. Hence the name everything is fresh along with the fruit. Also noticed they will be adding to they're menu. Good vibes, great food, and great place. Recommend to anyone!! way better than playa bowls!! read more

Fresh Coast - Poke Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

not sure why my previous review seemed to be deleted, but guess i'll write it again. I got the salmon sushi poke bowl with extra avocado. The avocado was rotten and BLACK. Wish the owner would have informed me they didn't have fresh avocados instead of charging me for spoiled food. The salmon was meh, didn't taste the freshest but it was passable. The woman at the front desk also misgendered me, didn't apologize for it, and wasn't very welcoming. As a queer person, especially during pride, this was quite disheartening. Really wanted to love this place. But alas, i won't be back. read more

Sometimes I want cold food.... Ono Grinds is just the place... I usually get the tofu or spicy tuna; sometimes both :) The poke bowls are delicious! They taste really fresh and healthy, especially if you choose the zucchini noodles as the base. I've also tried their açãi bowls. I typically go somewhere else for an açãi bowl. Not that there is anything wrong with the açai bowls here; maybe it's the mix, or the açai to granola ratio. They are good, not great. But they are great at poke :) P.S. I'm a taco connoisseur, not really, but I love tacos!! Trying that next time! P.P.S They changed their storefront; it looks super cute! read more

I'm starting off with 5 stars because there is this girl working in there who is absolutely the sweetest person ever. Her service is great, she is super friendly and she didn't mind all the request I gave her ! I didn't catch her name , but she knows who she is ( she has long hair and she there today Wednesday, it's 4pm) She was an absolute pleasure. She even excused herself while she was working with me to pick up the phone, so it wouldn't seem rude. On other days , Every time I go in there , no one greets you, they never have anything, the " machines" are always broken, and it looks like they hide in the back to not even serve people. I go to the gym and I always crave bowls and stuff so I go to them, and end up with nothing. Now to the bowls : they are delicious, it's like bowls with a whole bunch of stuff on it so you can't go wrong. It's always empty in there, but if the service matched the food they would have lines out the door. read more

The food has a great concept. However the preparation is very sloppy from the staff everything is mixed into everything. Also, no parking.

This used to be my favorite place to order a salad for lunch. However, I was extremely disappointed in my most recent order when I noticed that they had not washed the kale. I love the kale Caesar salad and was craving it this day. The last thing I wanted to taste was grit on the leaves of my kale. Unfortunately, I have not been back since. It makes me question the cleanliness and cooking practices of the kitchen. I just can't. It sucks because they're aren't many good healthy options in the immediate area. Try at your own risk. read more

Where do I even begin. If I can give this place zero stars I would. Fresh Coast quality used to be really really good. I ordered a Super Bowl through doordash and when I opened the bag I was shocked. This is NOT worth the money! Don't even bother getting a bowl from here go to Playa Bowls better. read more

I saw this place featured online somewhere, and just needed to come try another Poke place, because you know...I'm A BIT obsessed with Poke / Sushi. When we got here, it was a cute little hipster place. Of course I got a create your own - large, white rice, ahi tuna, house marinated tuna and salmon proteins - Toppings: White Onion and Masago, Sauce - Traditional Hawaiian and Sriracha Aioli, Toppings & Crunch: Scallion, Crab Salad, Fried Onion, Wonton Crisps, Tempura Flakes. The bowl was pretty good but the guy added way too much Sriracha Aioli (I asked for a little bit) and it became a bit overpowering. It was a good amount of food but I wish the Seaweed Salad and Crab Salad wasn't 1.50$ extra. That seems a bit much for not a lot. The fish was pretty fresh and the employees were nice. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come here. I have yet to be incredibly disappointed with a Poke place yet. read more

Went to Poke for the first time today and was apprehensive because I'm not a big fan of raw food. They were kind enough to was give me a sample of the salmon to try ( wasn't a fan of the texture ) so I opted for the teriyaki bowl to be safe. It was super yummy and flavorful and I was given a sample of a mint almond milk lemonade I believe to try, and I like it so much a I purchased one to go. The decor is super cute and relaxed. As a bonus Rutgers and NJIT students receive discount with ID. Be mindful that there are no street parking , so you may have to find parking on another street and walk to the spot. read more

This place was really confusing to get to at first because we didn't know where to park, but I love the inside. The staff seemed pretty nice and chill. The price and portion was okay. I wish I got a heads up on how spicy their spicy tuna was, but we enjoyed it :) it's hard to find good sushi because we used to eat it better in Hawaii, but this was pretty good comparison to other sushi places read more

Can't get enough of this place ! The staff is so friendly and the owner daniellaaa is always so welcoming ! Prices are great and the food is to die for . Always fresh (no pun intended ) ! I usually come 3 days a week minimum but now with the quarantine I find myself ordering almost every day . ceaser pleaser , glow getter , and the rise and grind are my daily rituals lol . But honestly anything on the menu , you couldn't go wrong for . !! read more

Cute spot. They are located on a busy street in downtown Newark, just a few blocls away from The Prudential Building. Once I entered, the staff greeted me with a big hello. That was nice. I have never had a poke bowl so I was glad that they werent busy when I came, so I could ask questions. The lady who served me was very patient and friendly. She was able to answer all my questions without looking annoyed. On the menu, you can build your own or choose from a selection of already made signature dishes. I decided to go with the signature dish for my first time. I went with the spicy tuna bowl with brown rice. I chose a small, which has two small scoops instead of 3. There was alot of different things in my bowl that I cant remember but what sticked out the most was the jalepano. I like a lil spice but there was so much, that I ended up picking the rest out of my bowl. Other than that, It was filling and so fresh. I cant wait to go back to try another dish. read more

Why isn't there an option for like a gazillion stars this restaurant deserves more than 5An amazing restaurant that you must try for yourself! The Pokè fish is some of the freshest you can get around! You can taste the difference. You get exactly what you want cause you can choose what goes in your bowl and how it is prepared. I love adding avocado or crab salad to my bowls! There are options for everyone vegan, vegetarian, etc. The spicy ponzu is out of this world and having the option for zucchini noodles as a base instead of rice is an awesome healthy alternative. The acai bowls are so yummy and give you the energy you need to get through your days. Try adding cookie butter it is so good, it tastes like teddy grams! Their Chia seed pudding combo is a great addition to any poke bowl. Smoothies are a must! The lean mean drink your greens is super healthy and yummy. On the fun side they have a rise and grind which is just as amazing. Add some protein to the smoothies for that extra boost totally worth it! Winter time doesn't always mean warm food, feel the good vibes as soon as you enter this warm and inviting restaurant. Experience a west coast cuisine. The interior decorations are bright, colorful, and inviting! The staff and owners are very welcoming and know how to make your meal special! I love it here defiantly will be back as much as possible. Bonus is college student discounts. read more

You can never go wrong with a bowl from Ono Grinds. I don't work to far so I've been there about 4 times and I can say that every time I've ordered the fish and veggies have been super fresh. The bowl making ladies are also very friendly and offer great suggestions about what pairs well with what. If it's your first time ordering, do yourself a favor and order one of the actual menu items AND don't forget to get a rewards card! Also I've never had an açaí bowl or smoothie from Ono Grinds. **the bowl below was one of my greatest creations! read more

Newark was in desperate need of a poke spot and I am so glad that Ono Grinds swooped in to save the day. After coming into Ono Grinds twice within about a week, I can definitely say that I am a fan. The decor is very modern and bright and the staff is super friendly. Something cool that Ono Grinds does is that they have a "catch of the day" option. This is basically an alternating protein choice. The one I tried the other day was delicious, it was salmon marinated with habanero (and I'm not sure what else) but it was so good! I find the most satisfying poke bowls to be with white rice and as many colors as you can find. However, if you're trying to be healthier, I would recommend going for the salad or the zucchini noodles with one of the non-marinated fish options and your choice of healthy toppings. I haven't tried the acai bowls yet but am looking forward to coming back soon to try them! read more

Tried Ono at the Midnight Market in Jersey City. While most items at the event were $5, they werr offering a poke cone for $8 that I just had to try. Wow. I get the cone handed to me. Looks stupendously appetizing with "scoops" of spicy tuna and white rice along with scallions and a wasabi drizzle (there is also option for a sriracha drizzle). A few bites in and I am very happy with the investment. The spicy tuna has a legit spice kick and texturally smooth, complimenting the crispier cone very well. The cone is semi sweet, but not over the top so it maintains the feel of a savory dish. The only disappointment was running out of tuna :( The bottom of the cone was just rice, no sauces or tuna. Still very tasty overall and recommended. The poke cone is super gramm-able! read more

CockRoach in my juice! I loved this place and ate here often until there was a roach in my juice. I had already taken 3 sips of the juice before noticing it was there. I took the cup to the manager and requested a refund. She was afraid and tried to rid the evidence. Please be reconsider eating here I ordered my juice at the same time as the (1) avocado toast before ordering the two smoothies and other juice - because we had not yet decided what else we would order. I say this to say- my juice had sat on the counter for about 5 minutes before the other juice and two smoothies were made and tops placed on them. So, while it is common sense that a juicer would turn a roach into pulp if had been in juicer , one would know that this is not the case; instead it had probably flown or crawled into my cup while it sat. My smoothie and half of toast was my breakfast. The juice top had never been punctured by a straw when I returned back to work making it impossible for a big cockroach as such to get in once leaving your restaurant. read more

The poke bowls are delicious but the fresh and delicious açaí bowls are the star of the show. I got a large which is a pretty healthy 24oz portion of fresh fruit, blended açaí and in mine, I did a 50/50 mix of açaí and kale. The day before I had a delicious home made chia pudding that was 5$ when purchased with the poke bowl. It was tasty thanks to the pile of fresh blueberries on top. Lastly, I had the house made kombucha. It was peach flavored and a bit milder than the kombucha I get in the bottle. It was still delicious and refreshing though, even if a little steep at $4.50 for a 16oz cup... still Great place for clean eating and go-to meals. read more

Really cute place with fun, tropical vibes. This place deserves 5 stars for the Acai Bowls themselves. They are AMAZING. The bowls look small, but they're packed with so much fruit and perfectly crunch&sweet granola. I love having honey on my granola. And the manager (it seemed like he was the owner of the shop) suggested I try it with Cookie Butter so he drizzled some on top of my bowl in addition with my honey. Let me tell you, this cookie butter is life changing. It is absolutely delicious and I will never have my bowl without cookie butter ever again. The poke is good too but nothing too amazing compared to other "chipotle" style poke places. What is a bit different though is that they offer some premartinated fish options. They also let you try samples of the fish and sauces before you commit to it in your bowl. But i really wish they had more spicy sauce options - like a spicy shoyu sauce or something. I'm not a big fan of creamy/mayo sauces and spicy mayo is usually the only spicy sauce poke places offer. Their spicy tuna is REALLY good. I usually am not a big fan of spicy tuna because it is usually drenched in spicy mayo with some tempura sprinkled in. Their spicy tuna here doesn't have any of that. It's mashed up tuna with seasoning that makes it spicy and I'd definitely recommend it if you like spicy (it does have a bit of heat to it!) Super cute place and the employees here are really friendly. It's in a bit of a weird neighborhood but I'd definitely recommend you stop by if you're in the area! read more

Came here for an acai bowl, and it didn't disappoint. I liked that for the bowls you could choose 2 bases if you wanted. I got the acai and pitaya. It was my first time trying pitaya and I'm glad I did. It was very sweet and refreshing, much lighter than the acai. The bowl was overflowing with frest fruits, so delicious!! We also tried the Umami bowl. It was spicy, fresh, and overall delicious. The portions are very generous and the staff was great! read more

Being from Newark, my first experience trying a poke bowl was in LA and I fell in love and I'm so glad I found this spot in Newark! This is one of the only (if not only) poke places in the area and they don't fail to disappoint. They are super generous with the ingredients and always take the time to make sure that you are satisfied with your order. My go-to order is the California bowl with my base being brown rice. So full of flavor and whether you get a small portion you still get a great amount of food. Stop in at least once a week, great food! read more

Not only is their fish amazing (big chunks) but your exposed to so many new and innovative sides-Nitrogen Cold Brew?! House Kombucha?!

Such a cool spot I literally can't wait to go back! I live in Jersey City and it's definitely worth the drive...I hope to see more Onos soon :) read more

I decided to stop by this place by a friend whom strongly recommended it. I can assure you I was NOT disappointed. The minute you walk in the Hawaiian theme puts you in some sort of calm spirit and just makes you want to stay there. I was brought back by the level of respect and welcoming vibes spewing out of the happy employees. I was greeted with a smile and asked how I was doing. This is my first poke spot so I didn't know what to expect. I'm allergic to seafood so I was pretty much beating up my allergic anti bodies because the seafood looked so fresh and tasteful. The employee was extremely helpful and presented me with many options and a sense of security that everything was going to be alright. I immediately felt like Bob Marley on a good day. The employee provided me with so many options available to me. So I got a chicken teriyaki poke bowl. I sat down with my fresh strawberry lemonade and began to attack this guilty free meal. Everything was good until after my second piece of chicken. I turned over my third piece of chicken only to notice there was more chicken underneath. My soul went from good to great like Tony the Tiger after a bowl of Frosted Flakes in the morning. The portion sizes are very generous. So the once fearful me to try something so different like a poke bowl was getting excited over the many flavors and fresh taste that was smacking in my face like the smell of fresh laundry out of the dryer. I decided to get a little more daring and tried a pitaya bowl. I thought that I had to pick one or two toppings only, but the nice friendly employee that was just throwing topping after topping said "nope you get all the toppings unless you want me to leave some off just let me know". I felt like I was getting away with murder and was innocent until proven guilty. The bowl was amazing granola crunch after granola crunch and fruit spewing out like if they were running away from me. I came close to closing on a Saturday and the way the team communicated with each other was next to none. They always made sure that everything was clean and sanitized. With every new customer they use new clean gloves. I'm a bit of a germaphobe so it was good to see the cleanliness of this place. I will really come back to this place and expand my tastebuds to another level instead of eating bland fat sandwiches. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Perfect place to get a fix of a perfect poke bowl. They totally lived up to their promise of 'fresh never frozen'. Not only did the poke bowls live up to the standards, the acai bowls are just as amazing as they don't use powder acai mixes and he fruits are fresh and tasty. Their food is aesthetically pleasing as well and my instagram feed looks so colorful and fun. The customer service was just as great and Luis and Daniela (the owners) went above and beyond to answer any questions and check up on our good to see if it was perfect or not. It's great to see a cozy and cute poke place near campus where everyone can go to relax and take photos and just hang out. The vibe is just right and the people are nice and the food is spectacular. read more

If you want to visit this location, please go in person because anytime I have EVER ordered for delivery, the poke bowl looks as if someone blindly assembled it.

5 stars for food, 3 stars for drinks. My husband and I walked past Ono Grinds one night when they first opened and stopped to look at the info on their door. They were closed at this time, but the owner came out, greeted us and handed us flyers. Super friendly! We've been coming back here from time to time ever since. All their staff is friendly, the portions big, and all options taste fresh. I especially like to get half zucchini noodles and half rice as base. For a much lower price than NYC poke places, you get a giant bowl of yum. If you're not a big eater, it would last you two meals. What's even better, they've now extended their hours! So now not just Newark daytime workers can enjoy them, the nighttime residents can as well. The only things I didn't like were their drinks. I've tried their smoothies and kombucha on tap, and they were both on the sweeter side. read more
