I grabbed Freshido as a carry out lunch while I was in Harrisburg for business. The inside is tiny and doesn't look like much, but the food was awesome! They offer poke bowls that are customizable. The food was fresh, flavorful, and tasty. The price point was reasonable as well. Plus, the staff was super friendly! read more

Oh yes. Fresh. I liked it. A Chipotle-type scenario. But worthwhile ingredients. Spare decor and minimal human interactions.

The ingredients were fresh but the portions are small. Had like 3-4 pieces of tuna or salmon, didn't have some of the ingredients I ordered and it was very bland. Overall very disappointed. Skip this place and go to Hawaii Poke. read more

I love this place! It is a great place to stop and grab a meal that is unique and feels healthy! It is like a burrito bowl, but with poke! SOOOO good. You get to pick what toppings you want and what type of meat or fish. So yummy! read more

I have been here on multiple occasions and they do not disappoint! Also they just added bubble tea to their menu! The past time I went they only offered wasabi aioli but did not have a side of wasabi available even though it was an option. There were a few items that were missing which I did not mind because I got to try out other alternatives. I also have ordered for pickup and my order was prepared on time and ready to go. The only thing I was they had was curbside pick up. read more

I was tired and needed a pick me up and this place was AMAZING Salmon was fresh and their wonton chips were REAL wonton chips, which is super rare. Also they had Hawaiian sun brand juices, which are my faves!!! The bowl I got was amazing and super worth the price HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

This place is foul. The only good thing about this place is that they have nice workers they were a bit slow and I don't blame them. But I pitty them having to serve sour food. I took once bite and immediately felt sick. The guacamole was sour, the tuna was chewy and we spend 6 dollars on fountain sodas for the sodas to be out.. I think there was no CO2 or something and 5/7 or 8 of the sodas were out of juice and there was no ice! why even offer them. When I said something.. instead of fixing my problem the workers went to go "prove me wrong" by show that they were working.. like like spraying soda water.. but there was no ice or bubbles or color.. lol I feel like this place has all of the things to be a good restaurant but they need to better their quality of food and not cover the whole meal in half a cup of Mayo or sauce.. it's drenched. Portions are all out of wack. My fiance got such a small portion and I got such a big portion.. so maybe some sort of portion control would be nice so you could actually get what you pay for. The building was under construction. I think there reviews are fake because there was nothing fresh here. read more

My daughter & I love Freshido. & it is so nice and convenient that there's a location downtown now. We stop there whenever we are on the riverfront or heading to city island. Also it is bigger than the Hershey location so dining in is nice! read more

Is this authentic Hawai'i poke? No. But it will satisfy my craving. This is more of a Chipotle-style make your own bowl place. The tuna is super fresh, but it's not pre-marinated, you can choose your own sauce. There are a ton of options to add onto your bowl, and even the base can be switched from regular rice to multigrain rice or zoodles. Lost a star due to two things: one, I like my poke fairly plain, tuna and rice with crab meat and radish. You pay the same price no matter how many toppings (with the exception of the avocado I think) so I felt as if my bowl was a bit overpriced for what it was. Two, there is no recycling here. I get a plastic bowl, plastic sauce cups, and plastic drink cups but no recycling bin to throw things away afterwards. read more

Freshido - Sriracha aioli tuna over rice - Japanese Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

By now, everyone is aware that Marbin loves poke. If I had to explain what Marbin's dining experience at Freshido in Harrisburg PA was like I'd have to compare it to the story of a well known cruise ship. It started off marvelously. I stood at the front of line and was greeted by the captain (a Freshido employee in charge of the culinary cruise) . I watched calmly as my bowl floated effortlessly down the counter and each choice of ingredient felt like it somehow made itself (smooth sailing). I eagerly observed as pieces of tune, salmon and shrimp were tenderly laid down on a flocculent bed of white rice. Then the mix-ins came sprinkling down onto the bowl like raindrops from heaven. seaweed, edamame, cilantro and scallions illuminated the dish with a vivid green hue while red masago dots, sparkled and glimmered vibrantly like a thousand tiny blood rubies. I felt as if I was the 'king of the world', that is, until we got to the sauce. Many of you know that I have been burned before on sauce. I knew that I had to be careful after my experience at Poke Bros in Knoxville TN, so I asked for a LITTLE sriracha aioli. The lady behind the counter complied by gently squeezing the sauce bottle in a Z pattern over the bowl. Then, all of the sudden, the iceberg!!! I asked for citrus fresh sauce and forgot to say just a little bit. The Freshido employee, hoisted the plastic sauce bottle and gave it a ferocious squeeze with all of her vigor. This employee then, relentlessly compressed the bottle for a span of time that amounted to an eternity in sauce-time. I stood there defenseless, as I watched my once majestic bowl, drowning in an ocean of citrus fresh sauce. The image that came to my mind was, of course, that of the Titanic, sadly sinking into a quiet sea of death, unable to withstand the wrath of Poseidon. When the horrific moment of saucing was over, I was left trembling with a true feeling of shipwreck in my heart. I resentfully ate the poke anyway. It was alright. In conclusion, I believe that we as a society, should mandate either a sauce-time test for anyone entrusted with the vast responsibility of squeezing plastic bottles which contain sauce over a customer's carefully constructed bowl, or, regulate the diameter of the cap opening to create a finer sauce squirting mechanism. Sauce dispensing should not and cannot be left to the subjective whims of the poke line employees. I think that this is what senators are for and am planning to write my senator as soon as I find out who he (or she) is. I thought about bestowing only 3 stars upon Freshido but decided to go with 4 for a few reasons: 1.I am aware that beggars can't be choosers, especially when it comes to obscure Hawaiian dishes in the middle of amish country. 2. I gave the employee the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps she has a chronic forearm condition that causes her to squeeze uncontrollably. In that case my meal was just a victim of happenstance 3. I am, after all, a merciful Yelper. 4stars read more

I had a poke bowl for lunch here. Whole grain rice combo with raw salmon and lots of veg. Very tasty and generous portions. They didn't have all the ingredients or drinks I wanted but there are enough others to choose from. Total small poke bowl with drink was $20. Atmosphere is clean with a nice street view. read more

FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! Poke has come to Harrisburg. I have been lamenting the lack of a poke restaurant in our area and I am incredibly excited to see Freshido filling that gap. I went for the first time last night. Being as it was after hours, it wasn't too busy. With just one visit, it is already in my top ten favorite restaurants in Harrisburg. My family and I have done poke before so we knew the drill. I love that zucchini noodles are an option in addition to rice (they even have a black rice option!) and making a burrito. I also like that's it's not just traditional poke. They also have Korean style rice bowls. If you like Korean BBQ, you'll like the options. You make your way through the line. You pick your base (rice, burrito, or zucchini) then add your protein (raw salmon, shrimp, raw tuna, tofu, scallop, chicken, Bulgogi beef, or Bulgogi chicken). Two scoops of protein are $9.95 and three scoops are $12.95. Scoops are on the small size so go for three if you are a big eater. Two were fine for me and my kids. Hubby wishes he had opted for the three. Then you do mix-ins. There is an interesting mix of Japanese, Korean, and Mexican items. Truly allowing you to do a fusion approach if you want to. Or you can stay traditional. The sweet mushrooms were amazing and they have two types of seaweed. Have fun and pick what you like and will go well together. After mix-ins, you can pick a sauce. My son went with no sauce because he wanted a sushi-ish experience. I tasted the smoky lava which is really good and is a creamy chipotle. However, I opted to go with the Wasabi aioli. It was good and aligned with the more Japanese flavor I was building. Hubby got the Goshu and liked it. Next you're on to toppings. Only the avocado is extra. They have normal poke toppings but also things like raisins and kimchi (their kimchi is great!). Lots of great ways to top your already amazingly personalized bowl. Finally, you get to add a crunch. Great options. Roasted garlic (my choice), lotus chips (I added one), nori, furimaki, sesame seeds, etc. Drinks are typical and they have some non-typical choices like guava nectar and coconut water. They also have bubble tea (we didn't got to try them). If the idea of designing your own bowl is overwhelming, you can pick one of their pre-designed options. All of them sound great. Ambiance is clean and modern. Service is friendly and fast. This is a two thumbs waaaaaay up establishment. I can't wait to go again. read more

Freshido - Japanese Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

It's a brand new restaurant opened just over 1 week and half ago. If you've been to Kondu at the Harrisburg Mall, this shouldn't be a stranger to you. If not, just think of Chipotles and Moe's Southwest Grills where you go through an assembly line to build your own -- EXCEPT you probably won't recognize many of the ingredients. Fear not! There are a few "Signature" ready-made recipes you can choose from. You can also be adventurous and pick everything or anything. Can't go wrong really. Just stay away from tuna/salmon if you cannot eat them raw. (Suggestion to Freshido: putting a label in front of each ingredient would go a long way.) Unlike Kondu, even though the menu offers the Poke-rritos (burritos) option, 30 out of 30 people I saw on this visit ordered Poke Bowls. I find it remarkable that not a single soul ordered Poke-rrito. I was no exception -- but for me it was for the same reason I order Earmuff burrito bowls at Moe's: it's less messy and better value, IMO. I went at the peak lunch hour today and the line wrapped around. It looked really long but it moved along really nicely. I got my turn after around 10 minutes. I built my own bowl with white rice and 2 scoops of salmon sashimi as choice of protein, plus a dozen others (see photo). It was fresh, healthful and tasty (right, downright Hawaiian). For $9.95, I think they've priced it to perfection. Any higher they'd probably price themselves out of the lunch crowd. Another thing I really like about this place is that they offer noticeably more ingredients than Kondu for the same price. For me that's enough of a catalyst for me to add an extra star. I would recommend it. One tip: just like at Chipotle's, you're at the mercy of the servers as far as the amount of ingredients you receive for each "scoop". So smile and hope for the best -- or if you don't mind being tacky, wear a big red Yelp T-shirt ;-) read more

I usually like it but today I was extremely disappointed. I ordered the 3 scoop mix your own bowl and most of the premium toppings were sold out at only around 12:15 pm. If premium toppings like bulgogi beef, kimchi, massago etc are sold out they should disclose it at the very beginning and it doesn't make a $20 bowl worth it. With everything that I was looking forward to being out of stock, at the end I didn't know what I was paying 20 bucks for. read more

Well I gotta say it was a lot different from what I ever had before. Different in a good way though. I enjoyed it but it's not something I can eat all the time. I definitely recommend anybody to give it a try. read more

Wow what a great place. Love the eggs as a topping! Everything is fresh and delicious, so glad I had a chance to stop by before heading over to the Amtrak.

Freshido - Japanese Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Holy mackerel, what a find! After a long, marathon drive in to PA, we needed a place for dinner and stumbled upon Freshido. We had no real idea what to expect and were completely and totally impressed by the sheer quality of the offerings we experienced. This is fast food, but it will defy all your expectations of what a "fast meal" entails. This fast food was completely and totally healthy and delicious. Freshido serves, of course, poke bowls. Think of your favorite burrito joint, except instead of beans and rice and meats and cheese, you have grains and greens, and healthy proteins, and tasty sauces and toppings. For instance, The Gangnam Style poke bowl is made with Bulgogi beef, cucumber, shredded carrot, edamame, cilantro, egg, kimchi, bean sprouts, scallions, sesame seeds, and a sweet gochujang paste/sauce. Flavor! Kapow! There are a nice selection of these signature poke bowls if you want a pre-designed recipe. But you can also select from a six-step, build-your-own bowl menu with more than 50 different options between the grains in the bowl, your proteins, and a variety of vegetables, sauces, toppings and other seasonings. Think of raw salmon on top of some greens and quinoa, set off by a citrus sauce... Holy geez, I'm getting hungry. But if a burrito is really your thing, get a pokerrito, which is a poke bowl wrapped up in a big sheet of nori. It is my sincerest desire that these folks bring their recipe for success to my home town of Atlanta, Georgia. In the meantime, Freshido will remain a very welcome stop whenever we next drive through PA. read more

I am always looking for good, different lunch options in downtown Harrisburg. I wandered into Freshido this week and I'm hooked. Addicted. I want to eat my way through the whole menu. I don't even know how to describe it. It's poke bowls, though you can also get your fix burrito style or have zucchini noodles instead of rice. I had a white rice base and mixed up a little Polynesian style bowl for myself with the Make Your Own option. My two proteins were the bulgogi chicken and shrimp. Then I added mango, pineapple, edamame, cilantro, sweet onions, pickled red pepper, corn and avocado. (There was a small extra charge for the avocado!) My two sauces were the Citrus Fresh and Freshido Classic. For the crunch I had crispy garlic and wonton chips. The combination was a little sweet, a little spicy, a little tangy. Perfect, perfect lunch. They get a little crazy with the line so I highly recommend ordering online and skipping the line to pick up. read more

Love love love this place!!!! The line was long when we arrived but we got through rather quickly for the lunch rush. I went here on my birthday and got the Gangnam style with multi grain rice. The rice was an up charge but it was crunchy and flavorful. There was enough to be full for lunch. I'm pregnant so I can EAT! My friend got the Freshido special but added shrimp. She enjoyed hers a lot also. I'm glad Harrisburg is diversifying their pallets. Will be back next week. Make sure you tell them you yelped for a free drink! The bubble Thai tea was delicious!!!! read more

Good food; vegetarian friendly. I made a build your own bowl with 2 scoops of tofu during both visits. They have a large variety of toppings; I especially liked the different types of seaweed, the mushrooms, and the wasabi peas. I wish the tofu was seasoned (it is just plain) to give the bowl more taste. I think the staff was newer both times I went. The first time, the server was unsure if a few things were vegetarian, but she was helpful and found the answer out. The second time, the server seemed distracted and I had to repeat each item multiple times, making the process very tedious, especially since I clarified I wanted tofu 2 times and then she asked which of the two types of meat i wanted. read more

Mmmmm - delicious! Imagine the love child of a pacific bistro and the local made-to-order sandwich shop. This is Freshido. Fresh ingredients that you can combine and create exotic culinary delights. Choosing from the specialty menu of set recipes or create your own. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The environment is clean, comfortable, and modern decor. The location should result in lines out the door for lunch (11:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.) during the week as Commonwealth employees are always excited for great lunch opportunities. The price is reasonable. I haven't thoroughly examined the menu to locate inexpensive options. Current prices I observed are set for $10 and $13 per meal. There are other tried and true lunch options available for $5 to $7 that will continue to attract daily patrons. However, what you receive from Freshido is worth the price! Delicious!!!! read more

I got the Bulgogi chicken in my make your own bowl. The sauces and toppings were really good and the variety was impressive. This is definitely my go to place when I am in Harrisburg.

Got a salad base freshido special and rice base bimi chicken. Both on the signature list. The toppings were spot on. The salad base was very light on the salad part, could have put twice as much salad in the bowl. They are very nice and willing to load your bowl up, but they should start with a serious helping of spinach/greens. I would recommend and would return again. read more

TO THE MANAGEMENT, please teach your staff what to do when someone says they have a food allergy. I had to ask two people that helped me with my order to change their gloves. One of them was rubbing her hands around the edge of my plastic bowl after I told her I had a food allergy. They're also not very friendly when someone ask them to change their gloves. They act like it is personal to them, it is not, but it is to me so I don't go into anaphylactic shock. I can't tell you how important all of this is!!! TO THE STAFF, please please don't scrape the bottom of a stainless steel container and put old product and run off into an order, but wait for the ingredient to be refreshed. And I left the other day due to a toxic smell in the place. read more

I m totally sold on poke bowl restaurants and this one is particularly good. We had four build-your-own bowls of white and or multigrain rice, then each of is picked a protein :shrimp, scallops, salmon, bulgogi beef, and bulgogi chicken. There were veggies, fresh or pickled, sauces, and crunchy toppings. Everyone's bowl was custom built to our personal taste and each one of us enjoyed our choices. The thing that made this poke bowl place distinctive for me was the inclusion of Korean foods: kimchi & bulgogi. It was delicious! read more

This is the closest to Hawaii you will get in Central PA. The line is quick, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. I made my own and it was so freaking good I'm trying not to go back up for another bowl. The raw tuna and salmon in the sriracha sauce and sesame sauce with jalapeños, crab, cucumber, seaweed salad and a bunch of other small things added up to an wonderful lunch experience. I would 100% recommend this place if you like sushi and fresh ingredients. The short version of describing this restaurant is the Chipotle of Sushi/Poke world, but MUCH better. read more

Myself and my wife, stopped in get lunch to go today. I personally had been very excited for this place to open, as we work in Strawberry Square. Now, I will start by saying I was disappointed that they did not have the wraps for the Pokeritos/Sushiritos, as that was what I was excited to try. With that said, the food was excellent! I ordered the surf and turf, with black rice. The flavors meshed to so well together. It made for an enjoyable experience. This is a place you will need to go to a few times to really see what they have to offer because there are so many choices for your bowl. Hopefully next time we go they have everything for the Pokeritos/Sushiritos as I can't wait to try one. In closing this is the place to go in downtown for some awesome fresh cuisine. read more
