Straw doesnt go with the lid had to take lid off
Cindy L.

The last two times (the only 2 times) I ordered delivery of boba tea, which is delicious, but both times haven't received a straw or a cap you can poke a boba straw into. Nope, just a soda lid like you'd get from McDonald's. Tried to call and see if that's normal and what I can do to get a straw in the future. Got a non setup voicemail box; it was very weird. So, would I recommend them? So far, no. Will I try again? Maybe.

I happened to be in the area and realized I've never tried Holy Poke! I'm glad I took the time to walk there to see what the hype was about. Holy Poke didn't fully wow me, it was just average with what I expect among other poke spots I've been to in Massachusetts. Generally speaking, the service is incredible - super fast, really nice people behind the counter, and easy ordering systems. But as I alluded to... The food is just okay. The sushi rice has good flavor and the portion for toppings is fairly generous. In comparison to poke shops that have "wowed" me, the portion size for the meat/fish are a little bit on the smaller side. I did have to do a little fishing for where my fish was (pun sorta intended), but when I found it it tasted fresh enough. Price wise ($16ish), it's actually on the cheaper end than some poke places in the area! This bowl pretty much filled me up entirely, so for the price I can't really complain. This is comparable to $19-20 at other places that I've paid for the exact same order. All things considered, this is a place is worth coming back to. It may be worth it to pay for an extra scoop of meat. Looking forward to coming back to try their katsu, which I've heard great things about.

The service here was great, the staff were kind and attentive when I was trying to decide what to order. There is a huge rush around 4-5 after students get out of sports practice so the place did get a little packed with people waiting to order. Create Your Own Poke: I love the idea of this but the price makes it only worth it if you get seafood. I was surprised the meats aren't priced separately because I don't see how chicken or tofu is worth the same price as seafood. They have the average topping options for poke but as you can see sometimes you get a lot of topping and sometimes you don't. One of the bowls we got had almost no sauce and little toppings and the other was loaded. Crispy Chicken Sandwich: The bread used for this is just plain white bread which was really flat on my sandwich. The chicken was kind of dry and also pretty thin. The sandwich was mostly made of the purple cabbage which gave most of the height. They also use a mayo as the sauce which does give a nice flavor along with the cabbage, I just don't think this is worth the price. The meal comes with fries that have salt and pepper on them but mine were super salty. Tsunami Fries: These had a lot of toppings and sauce, great for people who love a slight umami flavor to your fries. The actual fries were dry and kind of hard, they didn't have any potato filling it was just a hard over cooked/old fry. The portion size was pretty big overall and if the fries weren't so hard and fry I think it would be worth the price. Refreshing Limeade with Mango Popping Boba: This had a really nice lime flavor and was actually really refreshing. I think it pairs nicely with any of the popping boba. Green Tea Smoothie with Jelly: This smoothie tasted slightly powdery/chalky but there was a lot of jelly.

Yummy, did takeout for a quick picnic. The tsunami fries satisfied my french fries craving. The chicken katsu has improved over time (I had it before toward their opening weeks). Forgive the potato quality pic due to the sun setting lol

Loving the variety! I think it's awesome that they serve more than just poke here and that alone sets them apart from the other poke shops in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love poke but it's also nice to have the option to get something else when you don't want poke and/or want to change it up. One of the food items I really enjoy is the Chicken Katsu which I'd highly recommend. The portion is good and fills you up quickly. Other food items include spam musubi, street corn, wonton nachos and more which are great starters/appetizers. They also serve a selection of drinks as well- fruited iced teas, milk teas and smoothies. I like the fruited teas the most, as all the ones I've tried have been tasty. No issues with the customer service which has been satisfactory every time. The staff are always very friendly and professional making our overall experience great. Already been back multiple times since and will continue to so many more times!

The Good: Big portions for what you pay for Variety in foods - not only poke but non poke items also; my personal favorite the Katsu, crispy, moist and melts in your mouth; they also have bubble teas and iced teas! I love their ice teas! Super huge fan Their poke is custom bowls of either white rice or salad as base or half and half, a variety of toppings and sauces. Super fresh! They do takes cards and I touch pay too The Bad: They forgot a few of our orders however they did just open and for the volumes of orders they received in a short amount of time was okay Avocado smoothie tasted disappointedly like powder based and not fresh - just personal preference.

I enjoyed a very delicious poke bowl and washed it down with the passion fruit tea. A scoop of tuna and a scoop of spicy salmon on top of white rice with all the fixings added to it. I love how you customize your bowl, and the service is excellent. The friendly girl helping me was so happy to help me. I appreciate the service. It's a small facility, but it doesn't need to be any bigger. Maybe they could set up some outdoor seating for the summer. I finished my bowl quicker than I thought I would. Is it that good, or was it a little smaller than I expected? Can't say for sure. Come check it out! Cheers.

Thai Tea with Boba, delicious!
Don L.

This is the best poke restaurant in Central Mass. The seafood is fresh and the portions are great. I like that they also offer items from the kitchen such as Hawaiian Chicken Katsu (must try) and fun snacks like the Spam Masubi. The boba tea is made with real fruit, not too many places can say that nowadays as they switch to powders to increase their profits, not Holy Poke. The staff are friendly and you can tell the owners really care about their customers. If you are in the Worcester area and need a fun place to stop by with friends or just need a quick bite, this is the place to go.

Rice and salad topped with chicken and lots of deliciousness!
Dee W.

Had a delicious lunch here with my daughter! The service was phenomenal and the options that were recommended were very good. I certainly will be visiting again soon and this time I'll try a spicier sauce! Thank you!

Hawaiian chicken. Street corn,miso soup, avocado smoothie poke bowl 1/2 rice 1/2 salad with ahi tuna and spicy salmon.
Charles J.

Wonderful fresh food saving the 5th star when they add brown rice to the menu. Tried the poke 1/2 Tuna 1/2 spicy salmon bowl it was fabulous. Also the Hawaiian chicken was crunchy and tender. If you've never had poke you are missing out it's big in Hawaii and California and is trending this way.

I get the iced teas with poppers! Quick service, could be better, not the best for bubble tea, but fairly good. Quick service.
Rachel L.

I get the iced tea with poppers. Not great boba, average, but quick and friendly service, good to stop by for a quick to go bite.

Chicken & tofu poke bowl with tons of toppings!
Errin J.

Delicious! My boyfriend & I stopped for dinner around 6:30 one night, and had no problem getting right to the front of the line to order. The server was extremely friendly and conversational, I wish I had gotten her name. The proteins were FRESH and tasty - I got tofu and grilled chicken, and my boyfriend got spicy salmon and tuna. There were many topping options to choose from, which I have found other poke places lacking, so this was nice to see. There were also many sauces to choose from besides your typical spicy mayo and eel sauce, although both of those were tasty! It is 11.99 per bowl before tax and any additions (avocado +$1, more than 3 sauces +.50¢) which is pretty standard for a poke establishment. Do not be fooled by the small location or deterred from the street parking! All in all, it was a great dinner, and we will return!

Abbey N.

Best poke around hands down. The fish and all the toppings are always so fresh! I love that they have so many toppings and sauces to choose from! I honesty go here once a week ... it's an addiction

Today I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment. It had been recommended to me by so many…read moreand I was in the area so I thought I'd check it out. As soon as you walk in, you are in the battle of the drums between the Kumasi and the Djembe. So loud I couldn't think . I did ask to turn it down a few times, in the middle of my meal the Chef said I could eat outside. On that note I ordered way too much. The fried chicken was delicious !! Not greasy at all. But huge, sorry today I ordered two thighs that were the size of one large breast. A little condiment of shaved coconut and chive was on the side. Any sides were à la carte. I did try the " Cabbage Salad" that had a nice flavor, but was overdressed and is mostly iceberg lettuce, and rice with surprisingly sticky rice , so it was kind of yummy. The chicken came with one sauce I got the curry. It was divine.. & my friend got the chicken bites and some kind of mayo. I was going to leave a five star review because the food was that good however, on the receipt they charged $.92 for the containers and eating utensils. I'm disheartened because if they offered an alternative like a plate and regular silverware, I could see not adding it into their cost. If I refuse to pay for the containers, how would I eat it on that note the chef was nice enough to me to have me try a couple of items that I didn't have to pay for. Which I greatly appreciated and that is why I'm leaving such a nice review. I do recommend eating here, but take it home. Or call for delivery, they have their own AP. PS great smoothie's !!!

I was in that area, driving from one point to another. I wanted to pick up something really quick…read moreon the way. I decided to order Spam Musubi (rice and spam), a Byte (mini fried chicken), and tapioca tea! My girl went into the store and had the food ready within 3 minutes, which is really awesome as we were in a hurry. However, we were really disappointed by what was inside that bag, as none of them were as good as we expected. 1) Spam Musubi's rice was lost in texture itself. It tasted like old rice. Yet spam was well not bad. We ate all of them. 2) bytes( mini fried chicken) they were overcooked. I attach the picture of it. So hard to chew and meat was nothing there. And I requested mayo but it was not there. But spicy sauce was with them instead in the box. The kids were complaining it was too spicy for mayo. 3) boba tea, I ordered with boba with extra fee. But it was not there just milk tea with brown suger. Later my girl who went to there to pick up, told me the server continued to speak to her even though my girl told to write down as she was deaf. Can't lipreading. Quite disappointed with the service and food.

Wish I had read the other Yelp review before trying to hunt down this place. Apparently it's a…read morePOPUP IN PROTEIN HOUSE. RIGHT NEXT TO STARBUCKS. There is no signage of any sort--even inside. No info indicating on their website either. Not sure why they wouldn't advertise it. This place really needs some sort of signage. I almost gave up looking for this place until I saw a fellow yelper's review--which was very helpful. Google reviews sorted by most relevant--the first three reviews from this date has no mentions of it being inside the Protein House. SMH. Aside from the poor lack of direction, best way to get some fried chicken is to order online or delivery according to other review platforms. The online ordering was easy peasy though. Order was on time of scheduled pickup time We ordered a 5 pack of chicken, Mac salad, and cabbage slaw. The chicken pieces were huge. Super crunchy and moist on the inside. Nice and hot when we got it. I really enjoyed the chicken. Wife thought it was a tad too sweet. Mac salad she enjoyed but I thought it was alright. The cabbage slaw was pretty good combining with the chicken to balance out the sweetness. Overall the chicken was the main star and I give it a thumbs up. Just super frustrating to drive out of my way to hunt down this place when it's hidden in the Protein House. Reason for a mediocre 3 star review is the lack of direction to finding this chicken. I would have gave it a 5 since I enjoyed the chicken. Maybe it was posted on other social media platforms--but not everyone is active there. Cheers and good luck chasing this chicken down.

Will not be ordering from here again. The chicken was inedible. Dark meat with fat and tendons…read moreeverywhere. The flavor was pretty good but couldn't eat enough of it to really know. To me the picture looked like a nice chicken breast cutlet. It should advertise that it's dark meat. Or the meat should have been trimmed a lot better. Also i ordered one of each side but when it came I was missing two of them. So I called and they said oh we don't have one of those anymore so I gave you extra of this. That's not ok. You don't get to substitute my order and especially for lesser value than I paid. You call me and ask. And completely forgot another side which they said they would credit my card the next day. Waiting to see that happen.
