Linda P.

Make your order online and come in to pickup a fulfilling lunch. Satisfied with the taste and flavors. Pick sauce wisely my last time I forgot it's saucy so the bottom got a little salty for my taste, but my fault for choosing something that's a soy sauce like base. Restaurant is in between other businesses so can be hard to find the first time if you are driving. Parking is on the street in front or around the corner has a larger parking lot.

Ambiance is absolutely adorable, perfect for a lunch or dinner date. There are even board and card games at the back. The food is super fresh and the staff are so friendly. Great vibes all around.

Fantastic tuna poke. Stopped to eat with my buddy Chris (local) who recommended this place. It was phenomenal! Pick your protein, pick your bowl, and all the toppings you can handle. Definitely get the crunchies. This place was amazing. They let us be and two old friends caught up and shared laughs! Definitely THE spot to go! Will be back for sure. Very friendly owners!

We were traveling from California and stopped in to try the Poke and Ramen. We were blown away by the quality of the food and the incredible staff. We have been been all over searching for Ramen and this is by far the best we have had. Highly highly recommend!

Had a great bowl. It was hot and fast service. The atmosphere was chill and laid back. Tbis is one of my favorite lunch spots.

Was skeptical but things changed quickly when I walked in and realized the place had a "cool" vibe to it. Then the food...yum Tuna Poke bowl - generous portions with many toppings to choose from. 5/5 Pork belly miso Ramen - having lived in Japan I came in with no expectations but was surprised about how good it tasted and big cuts of pork belly 4.5/5 Shrimp tempura bun 5/5 Pork belly bun 3.5/5

My father comes here a lot. Since this is the place that he likes, I decided to go there again for some lunch. But again, due to his age and dementia, his taste buds are gone and cannot be trusted. We always get some ramen here, even though we can get poke also. The last time it was decent. Personally, the portion of the noodles and the broth, to the toppings is off in my opinion. The presentation and the visual of the bowl is off. I don't go, "wow" with excitement when I see this strangely put together ramen. The bowl should be much bigger to have a better visual balance. The bowl is too small to cram in all the noodles with little broth. Also the topping crowds the bowl so much so that there is not enough room to separate or mix the noodles without spilling the contents. Personally, dining is more than just stuffing your face. The dining experience includes sight, smell, taste, texture, timing, serving temperature. The visual was definitely off today. I ordered shoyu ramen with chashu (braised port belly). The chashu was way too thick it was hard to eat. I do appreciate a large slab of the pork - 3 pieces, but I am not accustomed to having 1/4 inch thick chashu. My teenage som will probably appreciate the thick, not so delicate pork. He is all about large portions. Also, they were crisp on the outside all around. It is different than what I am used to - that is melt-in-your-mouth soft texture or thin enough to cut through with chop sticks. Anyways, odd portion combination of bowl size, yellow noodles, broth and toppings. The taste - it was bit disappointing for a $18 bowl of ramen. The broth for a shoyu ramen, I believe, should be clear soy based tare, good mix of fat, and the soup stock. Every ramen joint has their signature soup stock that they make from scratch. I am now sure how they make their stock but it was rather bland. The serving temperature was off too. It was just warm and not piping hot, as a bowl of ramen should be. Maybe I have all of these gripes because I just spent two weeks back in my home country and tasted the ramen that I grew up with, and other regional specials in Nagasaki. I just returned and perhaps my brain is predisposition to like the "real thing" not a good approximation. Nevertheless, this place is one of better choices around for ramen, despite some flaws. So we will return. Sigh, maybe this is what I have to settle for the "best" ramen around Sarasota. Sarasota is up and coming but not quite NYC, SF or LA, yet, where you will find plenty of great ramen.

This poke is absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed taking it to go and eating it at the beach. The restaurant itself is cute and nice to eat at. Service was fast and the servers were friendly. However, I didn't realize how expensive it was when ordering and accidentally made what came out to be a $30 bowl, which I think is just way too expensive for a poke bowl. My bowl was just white rice, 1/2 tuna and 1/2 salmon, avocado, furikake, spicy mayo sauce x2, and masago (but they were basically out and he gave me only maybe 1/3 of a scoop). My husbands was like $15, so basically half the price of mine! I've gotten this same order at probably 15 other poke places across the U.S. in my life (including CA) and never had it come out to more than $16, so this was pretty shocking and I really have to take two stars off for the crazy pricing because it would definitely deter me from coming back.

Rachel T.

After having been to Hawaii and having the best poke of your life .... This wasn't far off. The staff are super friendly and helpful in recommending what to get on your bowl... They also have ramen, which apparently is amazing. The vibes inside are cool too! Great stop if this is what you're in the mood for!

Brian D.

Awesome vibes , great ambience and pretty good food. The ramen itself was pretty pricy at about 19 bucks a bowl? There was a good amount of pork , and noodles. The bao buns were nice though , slightly sweet fluffy , and the tempura shrimp was crispy and flavorful. The fried chicken one was okay not bad but not great . I might pop in again to try the spicy ramen since a friend recommended that. We'll see :)

I was very disappointed by the quality of service I received on 05/23/2022 near 7:00 pm. I was helped by a younger Asian gentleman who was very impatient. I asked that I be given time to select my order as it was my first time at the restaurant but he was persistent that I order my ramen and kept pushing that I order right away. When it came to my rice meal, I asked that I be given time but he persisted that I take no time to think saying he'll just help me decide. I assumed he was just very busy with online orders as no one else was in line waiting but after I left with my order I heard his other colleague ask why he kept pushing me which he replied by criticizing my sunglasses. This was a very unpleasant experience that is unfortunate as the other colleagues were kind and the food was good. Perhaps people are underpaid here, but this was not acceptable read more

Loved my poke bowl from here! It was $14 with tax for a make your own bowl with fish. A little pricey, but decent portion and quality ingredients. The salmon tasted fresh and the toppings complemented the fish really well. I especially loved the pickled daikon and the crunchy fish eggs! The soy/sesame sauce was just a little salty, so I would try a different sauce next time. Overall I am so happy to have a great local poke spot in the neighborhood and I will definitely be back to sample more of the menu! read more

Fork & Hen uses thick cut, and there were two slices on my burger. My burger towered so high there was no hope of picking it up, so I attacked it with knife and fork. Being made with Focaccia bread certainly added to the height, but so did a thick block of mozzzrella cheese. The cheese, melted on the inside and crispy on the outside, was substantial. I would be careful biting into a hot block of melted cheese, think pizza mouth. In my photo I broke into one corner to show that is cheese, so much cheese. The burger patty part topped with American cheese was by itself great, like you might find at a home cookout or Smashburgers. Other toppings were there but for me this was meat and a lot of cheese. And as much bread as you want. I loved my surprising good cheeseburger.

I got their traditional pho, and chicken katsu w/ veggies curry for a delivery. I had low…read moreexpectations on noodles but more high hopes for katsu and curry; well, I was wrong. Obviously, pho came beautifully. And noodles were not over done or sticking to each other- none of that! Broth didn't have much depth it wasn't bad for the price with all the meat. I had enough meat for two days. Chicken katsu W/ veggies curry was let down. Katsu meat was so thin I thought I was seeing thin layer Japanese version egg parm w/ chicken. Curry's consistency was thin and flavor lacking so I ended up putting my own curry items I had to just thicken them. Maybe I chose the bad day to try.

This is an authentic Korean restaurant run by a Korean family. The restaurant is not too big,…read moreprobably around 50 people max. The menu includes a wide array of traditional Korean dishes such as bulgogi, bibimbap, and seafood pancake. I started out with the seafood pancake which a friend and I shared (highly recommend) followed by a Korean beef stew over glass noodles. Again very tasty, though I wish it had been a little spicer. It lacked the depth that I expected. What I really liked is that they also bring out several condiments including sesame bamboo shoots and various types of kimchi. Will definitely be returning.

If you want great tasting sushi, it's gonna be overpriced, especially with the current state of…read moreaffairs. I don't understand why people expect to go out to eat and pay Publix sushi prices. That's not what is served here. I come here frequently with my partner and never dissatisfied. If you're upset about the price point, sign up for their loyalty program and it pays off. I love the fried rice here, I dream of it and whenever I come to Sarasota, I always stop by. The sushi chefs and staff are always really nice and they do have an outside patio. Space is very ample inside. We tried the tempura cheesecake last week and it was out of this world good. *I incorrectly posted this review for the University location.

You don't find many places that just nail it anymore but they definitely did- food, people, atmosphere.. this place has it all! Walking in I was immediately greeted by the staff and taken right away. The art work throughout the building suits the place well and captures the entire vibe of the restaurant! The food is AMAZING, I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

Most likely the best sushi bowl around with a taste of Hawaii with a local flair. Tyler brings the taste of the Hawaiian islands to the mainland with the same flair and presentation that you would get in the islands, the freshness of all the fish and greens are unmatched . It's a great place for a quick sit down or for a fun group . I would recommend you all give it a try! read more

What a cool spot, I had lunch there 3 times while in town. Its a little off the main strip and I only noticed it walking to my parking spot, but was glad I did after eating there. The Spicy bowl and Darwins beer on tap were a great pair. The staff was very informative about all the ingredients as I didn't know what half the stuff was. I will defiantly be back. read more

Best Tuna Poke Bowl spot I've been to EVER! They also have steam buns, which are like "Asian Tacos" that are out of this world. I would recommend the Pork Belly or Tempura Shrimp Buns. I didn't get a chance to try the Ramen but some guests recommended me to try it next time I was in, which I definitely will! Reasonable prices and quick and friendly service!! read more

SO GOOD! we found this place on the new and hot section on Yelp. All of the food was right in front of you to see. Crazy fresh. Both mine and my partners bowls were awesome, I made my own and he did the Hawaiian one. The place is actually pretty big and has a chill lounge in the far back. People are awesome too! read more

Great variety of unusual toppings and sauces to choose from. Love a 50/50 mix of eel sauce and traditional on brown rice with tuna. Sounds crazy for poke but the corn is really good with the other Japanese inspired toppings. Super fresh ingredients. read more

Aside from the quality of the food (which is spectacular) the amount of fresh toppings, sauces and seasonings you can add to your poke' bowl truly make the whole experience unique and delicious. 5 stars hands down the best poke' in Sarasota. read more
