I've had my fill of poke bowls, and these were by far the worst and the smallest. The tuna in my husband's ahi poke didn't taste fresh. The nori in the salmon bowl I built was so stale that it was hard and inedible. We both had ponzu sauce, and it was so salty and tasted nothing like what it's supposed to. I tried to drain out as much of it as I could. The one good thing was the salmon. It was fresh and there was a fairly generous amount of it. Needless to say, we won't be back. At least not for poke. read more

Baby it's cold outside. Inside Klaw Poké I can order a poké bowl and totally pretend I'm in Hawaii, right? I came in at about 7pm. The waitress was quite friendly and gave me a menu. Now despite the name Klaw Poké has more than just poke. They have hot seafood dishes, and some side dishes. I wanted to try poké because I'd heard of it before but never had it. If you don't know poké is a Hawaiian dish with raw seafood (or tofu if you're Veggie), grains/noodles, veggies, fruits, and herbs/spices. The waitress described it as kind of like sushi in a bowl. I found it was similar to ceviche, but with grains like rice or quinoa. You can do a make your own poke bowl with a meat, grain/rice, and three fillings. They also have suggested ones up like the mauna kea, which is what I got. Ahi tuna, red quinoa, cilantro, spicy pineapple, avocodo, kimchi, and sriracha sauce. The bowl was €10, and it doesn't look huge, but I found it quite filling. It was also delicious. The tuna was nice and sweet, and there was a good kick from the kimchi and sriracha. When you get there you'll get a bottle of tap water, which was fine for me (and a glass with a watermelon slice). There are other drinks and a few beers on tap, but I stuck with the water. The restaurant isn't very big. I came when it was pretty quiet, but I can imagine it gets pretty busy. Apparently they deliver though, which is great if you live/work in the area. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Was tasty​, but definitely not worth 10€. Small portion and not that great. It's cool that you can create your own and they were fast delivering. read more

I just went for lunch, and I'm in love! The staff was lovely and accommodating for me and my baby. The whole menu looked delicious - lots of solid lunch options like mussels, poke tacos, etc for like €8-10 - but I went for the salmon poke bowl. It had quinoa, purple cabbage, salted pineapple and sriracha mayo also - so much yum. It was so colorful and tasty, and to top it off they put a watermelon slice in my tap water. Nice touch. I'm looking forward to going back for dinner. read more

Klaw Poké - Salmon poke bowl - Seafood Near Me - Dublin, D

This is the first and only time I've felt guilty paying the check. I'm writing this review steps from the bathroom, as I'm still unsure if I have shellfish poisoning from the rotten oysters we were served. The oysters that weren't rotten were ridden with bits of shell, with only 2 out of the dozen we ordered being clear of bits. We were given no napkins and we had to donate our silverware to the table behind us, as they didn't even have that. For the whole crab, disregarding the bland taste, we were given one pick between the two of us. Lastly, as we begrudgingly paid the check, the waitress dropped our credit card in the crab juice that was still on the uncleared plate, handing it back to us. read more

I've visited Klaw a handfull of times. I'm a sucker for a bowl of things. First time was great (I don't know about the freshness of oysters as I don't eat them), the second time we walked in and were the only ones there except for a guy paying, they ignored us for a staggering 20 minutes and then we walked out. Third time I asked for my usual bowl without corriander, but the guy had to make it a few times before I finally got it! They do run out of things quite fast (I always go before the 8pm film screening in Parnell). Hit and miss! When it's a hit, it's a hit! read more

I've only ever had a Poke bowl once before in Ahi Poke London, so I was curious to try out the new spot in Dublin. I came around 2 so it wasn't very crowded past lunch hour, but the place is long and narrow, quite similar to the Klaw in Temple Bar. The menu has a decent amount of choice plus an option to build your own Poke bowl. Most of the dishes are of the cold seafood variety, like salmon, crab, tuna, lobster etc. but they also have toppings like kimchi and tofu as a veggie option. I had a build with quinoa base and crab, which was quite tasty albeit a bit bland for my taste, but it was certainly very healthy. The downside is that the portions are small in relation to the high prices (€12 for a tiny bowl, and more if you order something like lobster). The staff are very friendly and helpful though, and my mum ordered the chowder which she said was great. It came in a cool tin along with some bread and was €7. Overall, healthy and trendy Poke bowls but at a price. read more

We found this gem during St.Patrick's weekend. So happy we stopped by. I decided to make my own Poké bowl. As a base you can choose between brown rice or noodles. I opted for noodles because they did no offer white rice as an option. You can choose your sauce and three additional toppings. Any additional topping cost between .50 to one euro. They're very generous with their portions including the fish. For the price is definitely a bargain. read more

Zero compaints and I added zero calories due to the freshness of everything . It's new and small and super busy. My tuna poke was amazing and am already considering​ my return poke. They also have your staple seafood like lobster rolls and oysters. Great service too. read more

Wow, just wow! I shared with my friend, so we could try a few more things... we had oysters, which was lovely full Galway oysters... then the lobster roll and third crab toast... to go with that we had some lovely beer... I believe it was some kind of lager... but I forgot, maybe because the food was so lovely... I don't even remember if we had one or two ;) Cheers. read more

This is a great place to eat really fresh and healthy food & the staff are happy at their work, friendly & helpful (especially if you've never been to one of these eateries). My wife had three oysters: 2 naked and 1 dressed - she loved them & they were really fresh! I had the chargrilled sardines - you get 4 along with buttery toasted sliced French style bread - without doubt these are the best sardines I've had in decades!! We then both had one if their signature dishes & loved the freshness & the flavours - accompanied by a nice glass of Spanish Albariño white wine. Only downside was the toilet door is difficult to lock behind you. We'll be back to try other items on the menu.....I've got to try their "mad Mexican" sandwich read more

Very yammy!! but not very well organized and the size of a portion is very small regarding the price of it. If you planning to have it for lunch you will be hungry in one hour. But quite delicious! read more

Arrive at 11:50 as their times on Google said they were open from 10:30 and we were starving. Staff told us politely that they were not open until 12 which was fine. We did some more shopping and returned at 12:05 only for another member of staff to tell us "sorry guys we're not open until 12" despite not even looking at her watch. Staff seemed out of it, not being able to find sauce. I paid 9 euro for about 4 grams of crab. Tiny portions for what you pay. The decor is nice although a bit uncomfortable. read more

Can there be anything to be said for another ham sambijj??.... We had a good night last night in Funkse Brazil night in Club M, Mike got like 4 numbers but we were all scaggin tah beetz this mornin so decided to go for some fish sangers and discount oysters to line the stomach before we went back at it again.. We saw the sign outside and originally had gone inside with the intention of pointing out their spelling mistakes but being the fools we are, we had once again been duped by the ever evolving hipster culture of which I am unable to keep on top of due to my lack of online social presence and inability to give a fuck.. Happy Oyster Hour is 4am-5am so we popped in for a quicky. Mike ordered the nachos cos he doesn't like fish (unless its from the gowl of a Brazilian lady's knickers).These came with chop sticks and a switch blade knife for cutting- another pointless hipster innovation.. The first strike came at the bottom of the nachos as he found a small piece of fish down the end. He is allergic to fish so lucky I spotted it and and nabbed it before he had a chance to risk his life.. This is not a bag of battered sausages that ur throwin' a few chippies in for good measure lads.. this is real life.. I ordered oysters but we'll get back to that in a minute... I also order a Hawaiian bowl with a variety of healthy hipster stuff in it, except they ran out of avocado and substituted with beans.. I mean really? hipsters running out of avocados? that's just acting the maggot, and just cos the beans are green doesn't make em an equal substitute.. a banana marinaded in pesto would of sufficed. and so we come to the oysters... We sat patiently for a heart breaking 12 minutes.. my stomach rumbled as i held onto my seat so i didn't actually jump out of it with excitement as the bearded man walked towards our seat, and i nearly cried when he handed us our bill for the forgotten oysters... I couldn't look him in the eyes and jumped up and put my jacket on, a scarf over my quivering lips and shade over my tear soaked eyes. He informed the other coworker that was responsible but she seems just as baffled as him.. Beautiful though she was.. she had a face like a well oiled baby in a oiled baby competition, but a head like a sieve in a hipster seafood establishment. Got a free beer out of that little altercation tho, and a couple free lollipops.. sound fellaz read more

Food was good. Staff was very friendly. The place is quaint. The portions could have been a little bigger.

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to, the place is unclean and the staff are incredibly rude and professional as well as the food being sub bar. Please feel free to attend this restaurant if you enjoy food poisoning and rude obnoxious treatment, avoid as the plague. read more

Hopped into Klaw Poké for lunch the other day and was very impressed. The decor is fantastic, very quaint but still maintains the new aged look that its going for. I had the Ahi Tuna Poké and it was without fault. It is served stone-cold for anyone not familiar with Poké, but don't let that put you off in the slightest, it is unbelievably fresh and palette cleansing. I also tasted the crab on toast; which had lovely crispy bread and good seasoning for the crab. Will definitely be back in to try the oysters which looked phenomenal. Good value for money based on the portion sizes for a nice and healthy lunch meal. read more

Fresh ! Tasty! and one of my new favourite spots in Dublin.

Had the lobster roll and salmon platter - the wait was a bit long, but the smoked salmon was delicious. The lobster roll however was wanting - I'm used to NYC style lobster rolls from the village with butter toasted hot dog rolls overspilling with richly seasoned lobster salad. Klaw Poke offered a tiny dollop of pretty bland lobster roll in a small brioche bun - pretty disappointing. read more

The food and atmosphere were excellent, and the service was quite good. Still working out some kinks, but that's to be expected with such a new restaurant read more

Food was fresh and tasty and exactly what I was hoping for when I walked into the place. They were let down by a bad service unfortunately. Took a long time to make a custom pokè bowl which I felt could have been made up in front of me as I was choosing the ingredients. They also forgot that I had ordered something else which I was looking forward to. I will give them the benefit of being only open open a week or so and I will be back as I love the idea. Hopefully they get over their teething issues. read more

Really tasty food and great service! Ariel and Danni I think her name was were lovely and very efficient! I had the shrimp poke and a coffee to finish read more

Where do I start?....at the beginning I suppose. I travelled (yes, travelled) to the city centre yesterday Oct 18th, 2018 to have meal in Klaw (Poke) in Capel Street, Dublin. . We were curious to see what it was actually like because someone we know mentioned it...A train journey and a tram ride later and a 5 minute walk we arrived and went inside. Oh...we had to wait a few seconds while a man was letting his dog drink out of the 'doggie bowl' that the restaurant leaves outside. How thoughtful. No harm in trying to be 'cool' I suppose, but that really only works when there are tables outside but not in Capel Street folks. We waited for a few seconds and we were motioned to sit down at the window. Fine. We were handed menus. We asked the waiter, who was quite genial, would they do hot crab claws as opposed to cold ones and he answered in the affirmative and toddled off. After a a few minutes a young waitress appeared and asked to take our order. We asked if they did crab claws. She didn't know and walked back to the open counter kitchen to ask the chef. She returned and told us they didn't have them. Ok. We asked about something else which escapes me at this moment and again she didn't know and walked back to the kitchen again ! (Train your staff folks!!!). She came back and took our order. (Straight faced and no personality whatsoever...a bit odd for a young 20 something). About 10 minutes later our order arrived. My order of Chowder/Open crab on toasted rye and sautéed garlic potatoes arrived and all 3 items were placed on the other side of the table in front of my partner. ? Her Fish of the Day arrived out with another portion of sautéed garlic potatoes. To the Chowder. If I was a partially sighted person I'd never have known by smell whether there was any seafood at all in the soup. Not a hint of aroma of the ocean. Gloopy...and slightly coffee coloured...and oily. I've a theory that something was burnt but rather than being discarded was thrown into the blender also or so that's what it tasted like. Burnt! Abysmal. The potatoes had as much garlic in them (on them) than one should expect not to find in a bowl of muesli. They were also about to go cold. Abysmal. The Open Crab on Rye looked good. that's as much as I will about that. My partner's Fish of the Day was grilled Seabass. That's about as I will say about that. Her potatoes had nil garlic in them (on them) and were also lukewarm. We had 2 glasses of water each with ....wait............a large slice of watermelon. Wow! Bowled over. And all this while listening to music that just HAD to be the choice of the funky staff. Beards and hair all over the place...including the long ponytailed chef in the kitchen...NO HAIRNETS...NO BASEBALL CAPS! Hygiene folks! Add to all this the acid pop-rock all the way down to Oasis in house music which was played at a volume that really would only accompany Burger and Chips in Temple Bar. Shite food. Shite staff. Shite sounds. No apology. Not ONE WORD! After queries we paid the bill.....minus, I will add. And when the waitress went to the kitchen area to impart the good news to everyone, did we get looks?....We sure did. Never again. Get a chef who can prepare tasty seafood. This was tasteless! Get some chirpy staff.and train them Get some decent sounds and turn it down. Also...Sriracha sauce? What's that about? It almost saved the spuds though......Never again.
