Wow!! And Yummm! One of the best poke bowls I've had for a long time...they're so generous with their toppings! A really yummy and price friendly experience read more

I have ordered food from here on various delivery platforms, but this was my first time dining in. I love this place. Not only is the food delicious, but it's a healthy option versus a lot of what is out there. Sometimes you just want something that feels good and tastes good. I've seen several one star reviews on here mentioning wishing they had hot food or disliking sushi. To them, I ask, why are you eating at a poke place? If you don't like the entire menu/concept of a restaurant, don't leave a one star review to bring their average down when if just because of your taste in food. By the way, the KF Beef Bowl is a hot dish and they offer miso soup as a side. My mom and I came here for my birthday lunch and both got a build your own bowl. My mom has a lot of food intolerances and was able to safely eat here and enjoy her meal. We both got the passion fruit tea, and it has real passion fruit in it. Everything was delicious, and furthermore, everything is consistent. I have never had a bad dish from this place. The ambiance is chill and calm, which I appreciate. The service is kind and helpful. If you're not a sushi hater, I recommend trying this place. You won't regret it! read more

Picking up a takeout order from King Fish is a cinch. You can order through Yelp and they have a parking spot for takeout orders right in front of the restaurant. I built my own poke bowl with a variety of fresh ingredients and ahi tuna and spicy tuna as my protein. I loved it. The bowl was packed with flavor. It was a great portion and very appropriately priced. The staff were very friendly when I picked my order up. I could eat here every night! read more

First time ever having poke and it didn't disappoint. Quick friendly service. Items were fresh and tasty. I went back within a week to order it again, it was that enjoyable. Price wasn't too bad either. I did to go order but there were tables to dine in if needed. read more

Super good! Just ordered it for the first time yesterday. Would get again, and the portions are pretty big. They were pretty quick with making my order so service was great. A tiny bit pricy but I think it's worth. Also wished there was more sauce options! read more

Great flavor! The sushi rice is always perfectly seasoned. The people that own the place are always so polite and respectful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good poke! read more

Such a surprising find. I was meeting up with a friend and we were trying to find a convenient and healthy option. So glad I remembered king fish. I had been meaning to come and check it out for awhile. I love that it's super close and convenient to the university. They have a super clean and cozy spot in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The folks working were also really patient and welcoming. It was also a pretty solid price for the amount of food I got. Probably would have sized up since I just came back from a run. I inhaled the regular size immediately. Definitely recommend a visit for some nice quality poke! So glad we have a spot here in Charlotte! read more

As tired and just looking for some solid healthy food and this popped up. Lovely family owned restaurant in a strip mall. Very bright. Order at the counter and they fix it as you walk through. Very friendly service and delicious poke bowl. They have build your own or choose an option. I love the fact that the kids were there doing homework in the back. Ate there as there are plenty of well spaced tables but it would appear the vast majority is carry out as delivery was hopping. read more

King Fish Poke - Make Build Your Own Regular Poke Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The Aesthetic: I love the quick counter service, no frills vibe. The highlight here is the fresh food. The Price: It's pretty average for a poke spot in CLT, I never walk out of here without spending about $16 - $18 on myself. The Value: The bowls are loaded to the brim. The fish and all the extras are piled high on top of a decent amount of rice. I typically get two servings out of one bowl. The Parking: It's sparse right in front, but I never have too much trouble finding a spot nearby. My Order: I'm into the poke with brown rice, tuna and salmon, sweet onion, edamame, carrots, avocado, green onion, extra kingfish classic/eel sauce, all the crispy's, and sesame seeds. The Conclusion: Do not miss this place if you love poke, it's way too yummy. Opt for the extra sauce! read more

King Fish Poke - BYO Build Your Own Regular Poke Bowl to-go! - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

On my latest business trip to Charlotte I decided to give this place a try. Place is very clean and there were lots of options to add to my poke bowl. The flavors were there but it would have been nice if the cucumbers had been chopped smaller so you are able to incorporate it into your bite with the other ingredients. Also would have been nice to have the soy sauce readily available instead of having to go back up to the counter and ask for it. Other than those two minor items this place serves up some great poke! read more

Worst Poké bowl I've ever had. Inside was completely empty and I still felt rush when placing my order. Not much to say but the flavors didn't work well together and the shrimp was weird. I'm not a fan of sushi and I don't feel like I had many options here. King Fish Poké 350 E McCullough Dr Ste 110 Charlotte, NC 28262 (Review 530 overall, 74 in 2021) read more

I joined my coworkers here for lunch one day. I didn't know what to expect as they had visited before. I went with the Salad Bowl with Spicy Tuna and shrimp. The workers moved at a slower pace than I expected. It was a steady flow of customers being that it was lunch time. There's tables available inside but we chose to eat elsewhere. There's pictures of their food on the walls. The ambiance is pretty basic, nothing too creative. I wish their protein options were warm. I didn't care for my meal so I wouldn't revisit. read more

Checks all the boxes for a quality poke joint, with all of the standard mix-ins and toppings, plus a couple I rarely see (e.g., purple cabbage). I particularly like that they cook the shrimp sous-vide; this pairs nicely with the ahi and the spicy Korean sauce. Service is very friendly, and the place is ultra-clean (I have particularly high standards for the latter when it comes to poke). Pricing is pretty standard; my two-protein bowl was ~$9, plus an up-charge for seaweed salad. I'll make a point to returning the next time I drive through Charlotte... read more

Love the build your own poke bowl option, with sushi rice and all the toppings in the world! I also love the King Fish classic sauce + sriracha aioli.

King Fish Poke - Build Your Own Bowl! - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love getting bowls at King Fish Poke! Great flavors and fresh food. Service is fast and friendly.

There are a lot of poke places in Charlotte and you might think there's nothing special about this one. You'd be wrong. I got a large salad bowl with ahi tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, edamame, mango, sweet onions, cucumber, carrot, jalepeño, cilantro, red cabbage, sesame seeds, crab salad, avocado, seaweed salad, onion crisps, garlic crisps, shredded nori, toasted rice puffs, wasabi aoli, and yuzu wasabi. There are a lot of things I love about this place. The food is delicious. The portions are big. There is a wide variety of toppings AND they give you unlimited toppings. These things aren't common at poke places in my experience. It's also very reasonably priced. Mine ended up costing $16 with tax, but I got a large and got three toppings that were an additional charge of $3 total (crab salad, seaweed salad, and avocado). It's set up Chipotle style so you get to go down the line and watch them make your bowl. I've probably been to 5 different poke places in Charlotte and this one is my favorite. read more

King Fish Poke - Large BYO salad bowl with ahi tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, and most of the toppings - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I did not enjoy and I don't know exactly why. I got all salad with spicy crab meat. I usually get spicy mayo which they only mix with the veggies. Maybe that is what it was lacking. Not to mention it was a bit pricy in my opinion. $14 for a salad bowl with no flavor. I don't know if I'll return to this location. It was the closest to my house. Hope I have luck finding another poke bowl place. read more

Met a friend for lunch today! Love that you get to select either wraps or a bowl. With the bowl it is a choice of salad or rice (brown rice or sushi rice). You have a choice of medium (2 proteins) or large (3 proteins). Staff is very nice and will guide you through the process. Restaurant is very clean, tidy and no strange smells. Tables are socially distanced. Lots of great choices for proteins, additions, sauces and toppings. I had the wasabi aioli. She said you know that is the right? I said yes, that is why I have jalapeño in there too Yet the wasabi aioli was not hot or even spicy in my opinion. There was strange taste on the lettuce. Not sure if that is their washing process or what?? Next time I will try the rice bowl. read more

The food is not bad, just a little under seasoned. And there proportions are unbalanced, the protein to rice ratio is way off! They fill the bowl 3/4 of the way with unseasoned rice and the rest is vegetables plus protein. I have ordered the same bowl 3 times and all 3 times it is the same thing. To get flavor through out the entire bowl, they sell you small sauces for $0.50 each. I have not eaten in I have only ordered out. So I won't comment on service or ambiance. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch and we truly enjoyed our poke bowls! I chose sushi rice as my base. For the proteins, I chose spicy salmon and spicy crab. For my toppings, I chose cucumbers, edamame, and carrots. I chose the sriracha aioli as my sauce and they mixed it together with the toppings and the proteins. I added kimchi and seaweed salad to go on top and it was very delicious! Everything tasted very fresh! The two woman working the counter were extremely kind and helpful! I also chose a guava drink and it was also delicious! The place is cute with a few tables to sit at. The bathroom was clean. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Being a recent convert to Charlotte and major foodie... I am always looking for healthy and sexy food options. King Poke did not disappoint and you can build your own. Next time I will have more sauce added to keep it from being dry. The place is super clean and the staff is quiet and nice and very helpful. Since it was my first time I put so many things in that bowl that it came up to 14.00 but I am not complaining as it was yummy and beautiful. And did I mention you get a choice of brown or white rice or salad. Next time salad Poke Bowl you will move mine.... read more

King Fish Poke - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I've been to a few poke spots on the East Coast but none in Hawaii so I can only tell you that this one is consistent with the themes I've seen and might not be close to traditional. Poke is similar to the assembly line sort of thing that's been popularized and commoditized with Subway and Chipotle. You start at one end of the line, pick your base, and as you go down the rest of the line, add toppings or mix-ins until you're at the register. Easy and simple. King Fish Poke offers salads and burritos and bowls with a handful of different proteins including fresh salmon and tuna, toppings including seaweed salad and cucumber and carrots and edamame, then add some sauce with a flavor. It's easy, it feels super healthy and it's delicious. As I'm working my way through a keto-friendly diet, I stuck to the salad base adding salmon and tuna with cucumber and cilantro and red cabbage, topping it with the wasabi aioli that was rather spicy. A big bowl of food and very delicious. The shop is super clean and the guys working the line are friendly and speedy. [Review 10249 overall, 12 of 2019.] read more

I'm so glad I tried KFP during my visit to North Carolina. Thanks to yelp, my friend was craving poke and this place showed up at the top of the list. This place is very welcoming and has a nice interior. Everything looked really clean and the workers were very friendly. I got the chicken bowl and my friend got the poke bowl. It was soooo good, especially since this is a poke place. My friend loved the poke bowl. It came with sushi rice, salmon, mango, orange, sesame seed, avocado, green onions, sriracha aioli, and onions crisps. She said the fish was really fresh and tasted delicious. It's a great portion size too. I highly recommend KF Poke if you're in the area! read more

Best Poke in Charlotte! I lived in Atlanta for 3 years prior to the pandemic and there was a poke place on every corner there, I probably ate it once a week. After a long search, I finally found the place that will satisfy my cravings! They have a great selection and the fish is fresh. read more

Refreshingly keto-friendly (sans rice) coupled with helpful and friendly staff. What's not to like? I announced myself as a newbie, was scooped up and guided through the line up. Nice. I settled on a lettuce base, spicy tuna and shrimp as my proteins. Everything was very fresh. I think you'll like it, too. All for under $10 including tax. Cool.

King Fish Poke - Salad-based poke bowl. 210 calories and 5 net carbs,$8.95. - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I arrived during lunch time on a weekday. King Fish Poke is located in a shopping center. Plenty of parking available shared by multiple businesses. The space is big, clean, open, and bright. Lots of seating. The staff greeted me when I approached the counter. I was intrigued that they not only offer poke bowls, but also sushi burritos. I let the staff know that I couldn't decide between the two. She asked how hungry I was and I replied, "very" so she suggested a bowl. You have the option of creating your own bowl/burrito or choosing from one of their King Fish Signatures. I went with her suggestion and ordered a bowl. Step 1: Choose your size (Regular: 2 proteins $8.95 or Large: 3 proteins $10.95) and base (choice of white rice, brown rice, and lettuce/spring mix. You can choose half and half). Step 2: Choose your protein (salmon, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, tofu, shrimp, chicken, and char siu pork). Step 3: Choose your mix (unlimited - sweet onion, cucumber, edamame, seaweed, red cabbage, jalapeño, cilantro, mango, mandarin orange, and carrots). Step 4: Choose your flavor (shrimp sauce, wasabi aioli, sriracha aioli, King Fish Classic, yuzu wasabi, and Korean gochujang). Step 5: Choose your toppings (sesame seeds, green onion, wasabi, ginger, masago, seaweed salad, crab salad, and avocado - some for upcharge). Step 6: Choose your crunch (onion crisps, garlic crisps, shredded nori, and toasted rice puffs). I ordered a regular bowl $8.95 + crab salad ($1.25), seaweed salad ($.49), and lots of mixes and toppings. The regular was more than enough for me. I took about half to go. It was fresh and flavorful! I will have to come back and try their sushi burrito next time. read more

Food was really yummy and fresh. I was looking for a place to get poke styled fish atop a fresh salad. King Fish Poke was a perfect choice. Service was super. The woman behind the counter gave me some great suggestions. It was so good I went back 2 days in a row. read more

I really enjoyed King Fish Poke. I recently moved back to the northern side of Charlotte and was pleased to find a fresh, light lunch option (especially as lunch options can get dull in the land of remote work). On my first visit, I ordered the three protein option (you get two, three is an extra charge): salmon, spicy salmon and spicy tuna. I tried a mixture of rice and was pleasantly surprised to find myself preferring the brown rice to the white. With my poke, I tend to like a nice mixture of fruits and veggies, so I added mango, pineapple, edamame, cucumbers and seaweed to mine, with a drizzle of King Fish sauce to top it off. Perfection. The location was clean and the service was both fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back. read more

service is pretty good but the portion size for the chicken is lacking. don't recommend getting chicken if you're super hungry! read more

King Fish Poke - chicken and salmon and orange poke - Japanese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Good portions and taste for poke in Charlotte! For about a little over $10 (including tax), I got a poke bowl with 2 proteins. I got the salmon and tuna, which I thought was the best bang for your buck and I got this with most of the toppings that didn't have an additional cost. I chose the King Fish special sauce and I thought this paired well with the salmon and tuna. I guess there's a reason why they named it after themselves! They didn't skimp out on any of the proteins or toppings, which I appreciated! Service was prompt and the place was clean. I'd definitely come back! read more

With the blue rail extension and now this new Poke spot, it looks like the University area is comin' in hot! King fish is located in the Total Wine/Ashley Furniture shopping center off of WT Harris. It's located at the top, right near Jimmy John's. It's got a very sleek, modern feel with not too many tables crammed in there. The menu is displayed on large screens right above the prep station. This is another Chipotle-style, choose your own ingredients. You can start off with either a salad, bowl (with either brown or white sushi-style rice), or burrito. For my first visit, I chose a regular-size poke bowl with sushi rice. You are then given a choice of two scoops of protein: shrimp, salmon, tuna, or chicken, tofu. I went with two scoops of tuna and then proceeded to have my bowl topped with cucumber slices, matchstick carrots, diced green onion, edamame, red cabbage, jalapeno. You are then able to pick which sauce you would like added, I went with gochujang because I love heat. I asked for it on the side but, normally, they would throw into the bowl to make sure all ingredients are coated. Their gochu is/was delicious. I will happily have them douse my poke bowl with that sauce on my next visit. There are also extra additions you can have added to your bowl/burrito, etc such as avocado ($1.25 extra), ginger slices, wasabi, shredded nori, and so on. If you're not in the mood to make that many decisions, you can choose one of their pre-made combinations that are listed on their menu. For as much as you get, the price is VERY reasonable. Total for my poke bowl came to $9.60. I'm happy to have this place in the area and will be back! read more
