Hilo Poke & Sushi is located inside R. House in Baltimore and offers a great selection of options, especially if you're looking for something a little lighter and fresher. The service was quick and efficient, with our order coming out in roughly 5-8 minutes. R. House itself has a lively, energetic atmosphere with plenty going on, but there's also outdoor seating and a bar where you can relax and enjoy your food after choosing from one of the many spots inside. I ordered the shrimp tempura sushi, and it was AMAZING. The tempura had the perfect crunch, everything tasted incredibly fresh, and even the ginger stood out with how fresh and flavorful it was. As someone who loves sushi and has tried plenty of different spots, I was seriously impressed. Between the quick service, fresh ingredients, and delicious sushi, I can easily say this was a 5/5 experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered the California roll. It was good. Good portion for a reasonable price. This place is located inside of R. House. Small parking lot on site, but additional parking is available across the street at the police station lot. Also, street parking is available. Service was basic quick food service. read more

I stopped here today as I visited before and had a better experience. Today, I ordered what I was told the roll was. I specifically stated I wanted the "deep fried" volcano. Which was what they told me it was prior. I paid and receivesld my order which was not what I received previously. I expressed that it was not what I received before. I requested to have the deep fried one. I was told I would have to pay again because it was already made. I left it and left. They refused to provide the deep fried one nor a refund. Unfortunately I will have to dispute it with my card service. read more

Particularly bad poke. Literally five mini pieces of tuna and 3/4ths filled w rice. The mango is hard and sour. And all for $15! This is definitely not even half the protein of any other poke in the area. The average poke places gives you more fruit and veg and toppings. I wish they'd replace this place with a better sushi/poke place. read more

Wide variety of sushi rolls. We ordered with the cashier. She was pleasant. I don't think I've had a cooked sushi roll this good--ever!! The sushi rolls I ordered were rolled and then fried. Like what?!? Mind blowing. They were so good! They were very filling also. We sat a booth in R house and enjoyed the sushi. I would definitely return. Especially since I've been thinking about the sushi since I left. read more

I visited Hilo recently and ordered a preset bowl, making one easy adjustment. I cannot recall what I ordered nor can I figure it out from the Hilo website. The Hilo employee was helpful in me deciding what to get and checking me out. My bowl was ready in about 10 mins and it was very tasty! I was very hungry at the time, thus no pic. Maybe next time. read more

This poke place is fine. The food was decent quality but did not wow me. I have yet to find fresh, raw fish in Baltimore aside from oysters that really impress me and Hilo is no exception. The bowl itself leaned a little sweet for me. While the ratio of toppings to rice was good, the serving as a whole was a little lackluster considering the price. Perhaps the vessel is to blame but my portion did not meet the rim of the bowl and the lid is domed too, making it look even smaller. I finished it and felt a little dissatisfied. Staff prepared my order very quickly (it was as quick as tossing a salad). There are only ever a couple staff working the stall in R.House at a time, so if someone is cooking something in the back while the other is cleaning/doing something, you'll need to speak up for their attention. After receiving my meal it's easy to find seating in the spacious food court. R. House tends to get pretty loud on busy nights (even if it's only 50% full) while during the day it's loud with young families and children running underfoot. read more

Hilo Poke' & Sushi - tuna bowl - Poke Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place was a total rip off I came in by myself after a hard day of work to eat at R-house and I decided to get sushi not only did one roll and dumplings cost almost $30 but the roll tasted old and made me slightly sick I would say if you want sushi at R-house then go somewhere else. Fighting the good fight Mikey T read more

The bowls we got were expensive and the portion was insulting, most of it was rice and lettuce, there were only a couple of pieces of fish, you can tell they are cutting corners. Maybe it's because R house is so expensive to rent they have to sacrifice. But there are so many better options nearby that fill you up and are good quality ingredients. This place left me hungry still and I felt really ripped off. Sorry I feel bad but we would not recommend Hilo! read more

This poke joint is inside the R. House food court - and I generally love the ambiance and environment of this whole place! Cute string lights both indoors and outdoors, and plenty of seating. A fun potential date spot honestly. With regard to the quality of the food - super duper fresh! Also loved the flavors of the food and sauces. I'm also picky with how much rice I get (I like a lot), and I was satisfied. Bonus - they label which ingredients have gluten. Amen!!! Can't wait to return! read more

OMG Get the Baltimore Tempura Maki Roll. Is it authentically Japanese? Probably not- in fact, it's ginormous, saucy, and tastes like the whole sushi roll was deep fried in tempura batter. But man was it good. I would go back just for that roll. It's in R-House. read more

Hilo Poke' & Sushi - Baltimore Tempura Maki Roll - Poke Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Hilo is located inside of R. House in the Remington neighborhood. They serve sushi rolls and poke bowls as the name would suggest. While it's in a super convenient location, the food comes across as meh especially for the prices. I ordered a poke bowl (have not tried their sushi yet) and was pleased with it but not blown away. I got my bowl with sticky rice, salmon, tons of veggie toppings, and sauces. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I've had better poke for less money before. The sushi is also a bit pricey with rolls ranging from $12 to $15. A lot of sushi places have great combo meals where you can get multiple basic sushi rolls for the same price as one sushi roll at Hilo...so their menu doesn't provide a great value when it comes to sushi in my opinion (which is why I've never tried it). All in all, it's a convenient location to satisfy a hankering for sushi or poke but there are likely better options elsewhere. read more

Hilo is significantly better poke than FOD where I most recently had some. Hilo's portions are very generous including the fish itself which is becoming rarer these days. You have the option of getting pre-set bowls or making your own. I chose to make my own and I liked that I could mix-and-match anyway I wanted. You have to be careful, because many things require an up-charge so if you aren't keeping your eye on things you could easily end up with a very expensive bowl. The baseline if you get just two types of protein and no items that require an extra charge is $15.95 which isn't cheap but given the size of the bowl and the freshness of the ingredients is worth it. However, it's $4 for a third protein and anywhere from $1-$4 for extra "premium" toppings. And the food was indeed fresh. The rice (I got a mix of sushi and brown) was soft, the fish was delicious, the veggies were fresh and tasty and the sauces were excellent. I would recommend the spicy Hawaiian. I love that they have crunchy peanuts as a free add on in addition to standard crunch toppings. So what kept this from being 5 stars? 3 things. First, it is a little overpriced once you start adding. $16 should include 3 proteins and to charge $4 for crab salad is a little ridiculous given most poke places have it as a free topping option. Second problem is that they limit you to 5 free toppings from a list of 15 or so. Most poke places let you pick as many of these as you want. Finally, as I said before, they should pare down the list of premium toppings. That entire list doesn't need to be up charged. But, despite those drawbacks it was still a delicious poke bowl and haven't found a better one in Baltimore. I'll be back for sure. read more

Hilo Poke' & Sushi - Shrimp Tempura & Eel Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My review for Hilo Poké is long overdue. It's been one of my go-to carry-out options both before and during quarantine, and it's now one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. I'm always delighted by the abundance of flavors and fresh ingredients. They don't skimp on your order here. I suggest ordering your own custom poké bowl - you can add so many ingredients and extras for no extra charge that it feels like a steal! I love loading mine up with alllll the veggies, fried shallots, wonton chips, pickled ginger and chili oil. The yuzu ponzu sauce is my fave. It's a bit on the pricier side (my tofu poké bowl usually comes out to ~$14 after tax), but it's so worth it for the portion size and quality. Also, the service is very friendly and helpful. Nutritious and delicious! read more

Slowest sushi on earth. So much better options at a third the price. We came here for other options and assumed the 6$ piece of nigiri sushi would be amazing. It was less than average after one of the longest waits. Just go somewhere else. read more

I walked over to Hilo Poke & Sushi (located in R. House) a few weeks ago on a Saturday. I ordered ahead on the Toast app so it would be ready when I got there. I tried an order of their crab rangoon (a pretty good version) and one of their poke bowls (Spin Room: salmon, hamachi, cucumber, red onion, edamame, wakame, seaweed salad, jalapeno, green onion, cilantro pineapple, mixed green, fried shallots, wasabi tobiko, masago, kaiware sprouts, takuwan, soy egg, and sweet gochujang over a white rice base). The poke was a good portion and had lots of flavor. They also offer choose your own poke bowls and sushi. It was pretty healthy, fast, affordable, and delicious. Definitely a place I'll keep in mind when I'm in the mood for poke or sushi! read more

Hilo Poke' & Sushi - 10. Spin Room Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Absolutely my favorite Poke in Baltimore! So excited they opened another station in Belvedere Square Market. Although it is a bit expensive, (most bowls are $15+), the quality of ingredients is amazing and their bowls are delicious! The Hawaiian Classic is my go-to bowl: tuna, cucumber, red onion, edamame, wakame, seaweed salad, pineapple, jalapeno, green onion, cilantro, fried shallots, furikake, and Hawaiian soy sauce. Also, the bowls are so large I usually finish it in two meals, so paying $16 total isn't too bad when you get two meals out of it. Can't wait to try more of their sushi! Both locations are located in food halls, so if you're with someone who wants something else to eat, there are tons of options around. Perfect for groups! read more

TLDR: Probably the best poke I've had in the Baltimore area, but *definitely* the most expensive I've ever had Ever since the DMV's poke boom circa 2017, I've been obsessed with poke and have definitely crossed the line into becoming a poke snob. A poke bridezilla equivalent, if you will. Recently, grabbed lunch at Hilo and was pretty impressed by their menu initially since I find many poke places don't offer signature pre-built options. I should've probably gone with one of those instead of building my own because, boy, did it add up. Sure, I'm used to avocado costing that extra $1 or whatever, but here... everything extra comes with a surcharge... including sauce. After it was all said, done, and scooped into my bowl, I was looking at a $24 lunch. Everything was REALLY good, the fresh flavors meshed together well, but taking into account portion size and pricing, I'm not sure I would come back. I'd be broke(r). read more

This place is a really great option for poke in the area. The menu is huge with a ton of pre decided combinations which is always appreciated for those of us who get overwhelmed with create your own options. The food was yummy and fresh. The spicy Mayo was awesome, and they definitely don't short you on toppings. My only real complaint was that it was definitely super pricey for the portion size. I paid $15+ for a pretty small bowl. Aside from that, I really enjoyed it here and I will be back again. read more

Hilo Poke' & Sushi - 5. Spicy Hawaiian Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Okay so... I am an islander. I love my Poke. I basically refused to eat any after moving back to the East Coast. When I saw Hilo in R. House I was instantly like "MY PEOPLE!". I gave it a try and I was not disappointed. Is it as delicious as Poke in Honolulu or San Diego? No, but it's way better than what I was expecting on this Coast. I don't mean to sound shocked but if you're used to an authentic experience sometimes you're disappointed by other places. I was worried because so many people have jumped on the Poke, Sushi, Hawaiian "fusion", Açaí or Pitaya Bowl bandwagon and have totally ruined the foods! Hilo, I love you. Will TOTALLY be back soon. read more

The guy working there is very rude. I asked him if they had nigiri because I didn't see it on the menu but saw it on yelp, and he made an annoyed face and said no like I was asking for a burger at a sushi place... Turns out they do - for $6 for two pieces. When my order was out, he didn't even call the number so the sushi just sat there. When I finally ate them it was warm. Gross. I was literally the only customer there. I'll never understand owners who are so unhappy and reluctant to sell their food and yet expects tip - especially at a food court. Clearly no Aloha spirit at this poke place. read more

I don't even like raw fish normally (I'm the girl who gets tofu and chicken in a poke bowl.......) and yet, Hilo enticed me to try a proper bowl. Shoutout to the man who stood in front of me in line and recommended the Spicy Hawaiian bowl, completely unsolicited. I eavesdropped on his order too and therefore got the sushi rice with my bowl. Best. Decision. Ever. It was very refreshing and I loved the combination of crisp veggies with the sticky rice and soft fish. I was worried this dish would be too spicy but it's really not, and all of the ingredients balance each other out. Would 100% come back here again. read more

It was okay. I had a bowl with tuna which was fresh. But the mango was hard and the portion was small with regard to the other veggies. For the money and to create better value I suggest more veggies. In my opinion the value just wasn't there this time. I will gladly pay for value. read more

My go to poke spot and IMO the best food at R House. The poke bowl is ALWAYS fresh. I've had about 15 of them. Sometimes I make my own, sometimes I order one from the menu.

This poke stand is located inside R.House. They had a BYO poke bowl where you mark all the ingredients you'd like added to your bowl on a piece of paper and hand to the cashier. The bowl came out relatively quickly and was quite heavy so that was a good sign. The poke itself was pretty good since I was able to add my favorite poke ingredients into it. My only qualm (and resulting 1 star deduction) is the packaging the poke came in. The bowl came in a paper container that immediately leaked when I picked it up. If they can improve their packaging, I would not hesitate to come back here! read more

First time at R house, the spot is pretty cool. Has its own parking lot as well as ample parking on the street. Can't go inside right now due to covid, but you order online and they bring your food outside at a pick up table. The sushi itself was fine, but the reason I'm giving it a lower rating was due to just how LONG it took and the cost. The time was supposed to be about 15 min which turned into 45 min. I understand if it was busy, but it wasn't very busy and I feel like they just forgot to bring it outside. Also i got a boba tea and there was no boba. I had to call them twice. Next time I'll be sure to order WAY in advance. read more
