    Let me start out by saying that this place is a literal diamond. Poke is one of my favorite things to eat and unfortunately there's just not a lot of places around that can serve up a good bowl. I've noticed that there's been a few more poke joints popping up in various areas (Northampton, West Hartford, etc.) Let me say this - I've been to those places but this is the spot. This is the CLEAR winner against those places. Personally, I love building my own bowl - I like to do a mix of half rice and half salad, then tuna, salmon, and some sort of spicy fish (tuna or salmon depending on my mood). Now here's where the other places go wrong - they give you a TEENY TINY portion of the star of the show. This is where Joy Bowl shines. They make the poke the clear STAR of the dish. That's what poke is all about, anyways. They also have a wonderful selection of mix-ins, including veggies and fruits! The sriracha aioli (spicy mayo) was also very good - the only thing I wished they also had would be sesame oil. We asked and they stated they only have olive oil. But oh well, I can live without it. Anywho - if you've never had a poke bowl before, think of this place as a Chipotle - you pick your base, meats, and then toppings. Then you mix everything up in a sauce and enjoy! Another great thing about this place is how well it's decorated! It's a very cute set-up and they even have a wall for polaroids of guests who have been there before.

    Build your own. Delicious

    My mom loves this place so I had to visit while in town and I could totally see why this is her choice when she's craving sushi. It's pretty much sushi in a bowl. I created my own bowl with brown rice, loads of veggies, and added avocado for a little extra price, but it was worth it. The price point is great considering the quality and amount of food you get.

    Poké with shrimp and crab. Yum!

    Excellent Poke! No issues here. Fresh, delicious and quick. We'll worth the drive for us. We left the Air show in Westfield and searched Yelp! and found this place. Friendly staff as well!

    ordered grub hub from them the other day and was disappointed to receive a half portion of a two protein bowl. Food was good but it was disappointing since I was still hungry and I paid $15+ for half the food drowned in sauce.

    Make your own poke with 3 proteins and a sweet red chili pepper sauce (not spicy at all)

    This cute, clean local establishment is capitalizing on the yuppie poke trend and doing a fine job of it. Friendly folks behind the counter with a plethora of fresh toppings. They offer a 10% discount to college students and military folks - both with ID proof. Seemed to be a good flow of customers grabbing takeout and a few other students opting to eat in the restaurant. I chose to make my own bowl with 3 proteins and a host of fresh toppings. If you are a sushi fan, you'll likely enjoy poke too. Give it a try!

    Since moving back from Hawaii, I've had yet to find anywhere in the area that serves good poke bowls since I'm very picky when it comes to poke. This has DEFINITELY become my new go-to spot! You can get 2 or 3 types of protein along with up to TEN add-ons for less than $12, plus they aren't stingy with their portion sizes! SO worth it. They also offered us free fruit on the side! My favorite is brown rice, spicy ahi & spicy salmon with seaweed salad, edamame, mango, tempura flakes, nori, masago, & unagi sauce/sweet shoyu. I ate my entire bowl before I could even take a decent picture, but I've attached the happy hour specials for those who are interested! They also have punch cards which are 'buy 9 bowls, get the 10th bowl FREE'. I'll definitely be back for my 2nd... 3rd... 9th... & 10th bowl!

    The shop is smaller than I expected as there are several businesses in the plaza. The owners have more than made up for it with a very clean modern decor. Dim lighting makes the in dining experience sensory friendly. When we walked in, the line was almost out the door. Most customers look like they are college students from the area. Service was quick and friendly and we made it to the order area within 10 minutes. The set up reminds me of Subway as you have base ingredients (rice, lettuce etc) and then you can individualize your bowl with choice of protein, veggies, fruit, dressing and toppings. You also have your choice of fountain drinks or bottled beverages. Their seating area is very small; but I never will fault a place for this as long as the area is clean. We chose to eat in house and were able to get a table with out any issues (it seems that most people take their bowls to go). Now I've heard of raw food movement, but never gave it much thought. One bite in and I was a total convert. My bowl had chicken, brown rice, corn, radish, red onion, cabbage, chick peas, mango, pineapple, carrots, cucumbers, green onions and probably 3 other things I can't remember. The different textures in the bowl were amazing and fresh. The hot and cold ingredients married well together. (Yes the chicken and rice are not technically raw) My only complaint would be that they only have one size bowl. I would love to be able to take some home for later as an option. I've included my first food pic. (It was an after thought after I dug in!) Prices are reasonable as well.

    Went here yesterday and it was super delicious! Best poke I've had in Western Mass thus far. Fresh ingredients and many sauces to choose from. I went around 8pm and it wasn't very busy which was great b/c we got our food done right away. Service was great - staff was friendly. I got a poke bowl w/ white rice, spicy tuna, spicy crab, shrimp, masago, yellow daikon pickle, corn, avocado, tempura flakes, shredded nori, spicy mayo and wasabi ponzu sauce. Tasted great and flavorful! Only thing I will say is that I wished they had kale (like how Pokeworks has it)! Aside from that, I love the poke here and would definitely come back! Interior design is fresh and modern. The space isn't large but it's comfortable. Located conveniently in a plaza with a Bank of America nearby to help fund your poke needs

    Went here on a whim with my mom for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! It's tucked inside a small…read moreshopping plaza that has a few stores and a bank. When we walked in, there wasn't anyone at the front, just a counter and a small table with T-shirts for sale. The kitchen is in the back, and the dining area is off to the left. A friendly waitress came out right away and told us to sit wherever we'd like. The dining room is small, but cozy; about 10 tables. There's also bar-style seating at sushi counter with about 5 chairs. Two sushi chefs were working and chatting with customers. Everyone was super nice, and the vibe was great; hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton playing in the background. Right up my alley lol. Our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. I ordered the Caribbean roll, and it was phenomenal! Definitely one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. It had a sweet plantain on top and was packed with flavor. I also got a vegetable roll, which was just okay. The place had a chill mix of customers: a family, & some older couples. Overall, great service, good music, and amazing specialty rolls. It's also BYOB (wine and beer only) which is nice. I'll definitely be back to try the ramen next time!
