Mammoth Poke is one of those spots you go to once... and then suddenly you're craving it every week. The fish quality is what really stands out. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, clean, and well-seasoned -- not overly sauced, not trying too hard, just really solid poke done right. The salmon and spicy tuna were both super tender, and you can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients. I love how customizable the bowls are. So many bases, toppings, and sauces that you can go classic or build something totally different every time. The portions are generous too -- my bowl was packed and actually filling, which doesn't always happen with poke. The toppings bar is a highlight. Crunch, heat, freshness -- you can balance everything exactly how you like it. The mix of textures (crispy onions, cucumbers, creamy sauces) makes every bite different. The space is casual and easy, perfect for a quick lunch, takeout, or something lighter that still feels satisfying. Staff has always been friendly and fast, even when it's busy. If you're into fresh, flavorful food that doesn't leave you feeling heavy, Mammoth Poke absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to poke spot. read more

Mammoth Poke is in my top five poke spots in the city! I came across Mammoth Poke after exploring the 606 Path and wanting something healthy afterwards. Mammoth Poke is on Western Ave so it was easily to find. Plus the large green and white sign makes it hard to miss. The inside of the restaurant isn't too large, they're setup mainly for to-go orders but they do have some seating. The seating is focused more towards smaller groups which is perfect for solo dining or a party of two. During my visit they had a ton of to-go orders going out so they had ample seating available. This was a plus because I opted to dine-in during my visit. I knew I would like Mammoth Poke because they offer a variety of fresh ingredients that you mix and match. Not only does the ingredients look fresh they tasted delicious! The poke is priced for the area meaning it's a little pricey but I was able to get two meals out of my order (lunch and dinner). read more

I have no complaints about the quality of the food - pretty decent as far as local poke is concerned. My main complaints involve the service and portions. I ordered online through Uber Eats and picked it up myself. I had to wait a significant amount of time, which I don't mind as they seemed to have many other online orders ahead of me, but the staff were not particularly friendly nor moving particularly quickly. I try not to dock points for this either as I understand they were probably just tired given I arrived about 45 minutes before closing, but still could've been better. The portion size was my biggest issue. I was very disappointed in the amount of fish and other toppings I received and found the meal to overall not be filling. Obviously this isn't that uncommon with poke spots, but I was hoping with all the good reviews this one would be on the better end of the spectrum. I suspect they under-portion online orders since people are less likely to bring them back to complain, but I can't confirm that. I'll visit again and see if the portion size was just a random error, and if so I will update my review accordingly. read more

Very happy to have tried this place. Had it for lunch and now once a week we have it for dinner. The idea of customizing your own bowl is nice. Never had a bad bowl. The scoops seem a little small but it's pretty filling. The place is small. Not many tables to sit and eat. Seems to be more of a carry out place. Been pretty lucky to park right in front and pickup. Will keep coming unless a closer place is found. But close to work. read more

The best poke I've had so far in the city. The rice is true sushi rice seasoned appropriately and not dry or overcooked. All of the toppings were incredibly fresh and their spicy mayo was delicious. Portions for things could be a little more, but the price is very reasonable so not complaining. I will definitely be back! read more

Mammoth Poke - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best poke in Chicago! I've had a few other places before Mammoth around Chicago and honestly Mammoth is the best in terms of quality & freshness. All the ingredients they have looked amazing and tasted like they were made that morning, not sitting in a fridge overnight. I really loved that they don't skimp on toppings and you can pretty much get whatever you want on top without an up-charge (save for 1-2 items). There were around 6 different types of protein to choose from. I ordered the spicy shrimp, spicy tuna, and the raw ahi tuna. Another nice touch they do is to individually mix and season the raw fish on its own before adding to the bowl. I got cilantro & jalapeño, along with some sauce. The bowl left me feeling full and with plenty of energy to tackle the rest of the day at a CrossFit class. Save to say this is healthy, powerful, & fresh food. Doesn't break the bank at $15.58 for the 3 scoop bowl - 13.95 before tax (Chicago be taxing smh). Great deal for great food. Thanks again, Mammoth! read more

We've been doing a lot of Poke throughout Chicago the last several years, and this is our new favorite. No surprise, they always seem to be slamming with their takeouts, with a whole team preparing each bowl. They are generous with each ingredient and portion, and their sauces are a delicious compliment. The staff is friendly and welcoming . read more

Visiting Chicago and we wanted to try something close by so we decided to check this place out. I highly recommend - one of the best poke bowls I've had. Perfect for a quick bite while exploring and will definitely be back. I ordered the build your own bowl with half rice and half salad. The price was good for 3 scoops of your choice of protein. One thing that stood out to me here is that they offer many amazing toppings that i haven't seen from other places I've been. Some of them can cost extra at other places. The sauces that I recommend was the Hawaiian Poke Sauce which was apparently the most popular, as well as spicy mayo which you can never go wrong with. read more

Mammoth Poke - 3 Scoop protein - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I think I've tried 10 poke places in the city and I constantly come back to this one! It's quick and the place is always so clean! I always get the poke build your own bowl with tuna and salmon and it's FRESH! The spicy mayo, poke and garlic aoili is the elite sauce combo! They offer this place on uber eats but you're going to pay like $15 more than if you go in person , so word to the wise just go in! read more

Mammoth Poke - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great poke bowl spot! I ordered online and it was ready during the time indicated. Can't speak to the service besides that! Staff did greet me and seemed friendly though. I did the create your own bowl and got 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of cooked shrimp. I usually don't get cooked shrimp but it exceeded my expectations! It was really good. The seafood and veggies were fresh and tasty. I got a combo of the Hawaiian poke sauce and lemon miso, it was a little too saucy for me. Will ask for less next time. Overall solid spot and would return. read more

Mammoth Poke - Pile on toppings poke - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered via grub hub and order was short and item. Called Mammoth Poke and got the manager. In order to make it right, she said she would drive it over herself. Showed up in less than 15 minutes! To show my gratitude, I tried to give her a small tip and she refused over and over again. So, I tip my hat to her. Its people like her who make businesses successful so don't lose such a great person and manager! read more

Ordered once on Ubereat, and I'm pretty disappointed with the food portion served. The bowl is really small, the size of the bowl is used for 3 scoops of protein at other poke places. The food selection is also very limited. The fish (tuna and salmon) and shrimps are fresh and tender. And one thing I like about this place is that it serves sushi rice. However, I don't think the price and food portion is worth the price. There are better options in town. read more

Came here because of all the five star reviews on both Yelp and Google. I got three servings of the salmon (non-spicy) with the greens base. The toppings are unlimited so I just went ham on those. Note to self - seaweed salad is $1 extra. I failed to read the sign. :) All the ingredients felt very fresh. The volcano sauce was tasty and not that spicy. Next time, I think I will opt for a rice base because I was still pretty hungry after this. The workers were friendly. The place has very limited seating - maybe for 10 people or so but my friends and I were able to snag one. Overall, it was good but not amazing. It was comparable to other good poke places and there wasn't anything special about Mammoth. read more

Mammoth Poke - Build Your Own 3 Scoop Protein Bowl (all salmon): $13.95 (+ $1 for seaweed salad), 4/30/2023 - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time trying. I was very impressed. I got the burrito and my kids got burrito bowl. Both delicious. Definitely a must

Really good stuff, ingredient were fresh and large portions. Not too expensive and a large selection of adds ins for bowls

We have been regulars since Mammoth's opening in September 2021 and while the business has expanded the quality is as good as the first day. Recommend the sushi bowls and sushi burritos. The service is fast and staff always kind. We usually do take out as it is more convenient for us, but there is plenty of space to sit and the place has nice lighting if you prefer to dine k read more

My favorite quick meal in the whole city! I always come in with my son who has been eating here since he could eat solids. They are sweet to him and most employees remember to give him extra crab salad since it's his favorite. Best way to get my kid to eat veggies! We can split a bowl between us. I've probably been to every Poke place in the city and burbs and am always disappointed that they aren't as good as mammoth! Good portions, fresh and good quality, kind staff, and still reasonable price for it all. Thanks for making my tummy happy! read more

Hands down one of the best poke spots in Chicago! Everything here is so fresh and colorful! Walkable from the Western Blue Line. Last time I went, my bowl was a little salty but maybe that's because I added two sauces. Regardless, the bowls are always so tasty! I usually pay $15+tax/tip for a bowl, but it's definitely worth it! They also have self serve water which is a plus. The space is a little small. I think about 3/4 tables inside and a couple seats outside. I salivate just thinking about this place haha. Can't wait to come back and try new menu items and different bowl combinations! A must try if you like raw fish and poke! read more

Mammoth Poke - 5 Scoop protein bowl. - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The best poke bowl in the city. The fish and ingredients are fresh and the bowl is always so delicious

This place hooked me on poke. Still the best poke I've had to date. It's a simple operation but it works very well and the staff is very helpful when ordering! read more

Fresh/delicious ingredients but service is horrible and made them lose a recurring neighborhood client! I walked in for the first time yesterday to pick up an order and returned to try it myself! The first time I was greeted by the sweetest girl who was at the front. The contrast in energy and attitude by the second girl who served me when I returned was so weird, disgusting and obvious, I almost walked out! She was so visibly annoyed by me reading the menu that I had to tell her it was my first time there and that I needed a minute to understand it and decide what I wanted. While serving me her whole demeanor was very sarcastic and weird, moving in slow motion with an ironic tone of voice almost if I was personally insulting her from asking questions about the menu she rushed me over. All of a sudden she couldn't hear me, was putting wrong things in the bowl and was acting nervous and unsure of her job! Learn how to work under pressure -where money can be made but mine sure won't be spent under it! Train your employees on how to properly serve first time clients and not get too comfortable! Not everyone is a regular who already knows what they want! And most importantly, don't enable or normalize this type of behavior as a coworker/manager/owner trying to stick your nose in to pick up their slack if you didn't witness the interaction from the start! It doesn't look good on your business read more

No wonder this place has a 5 star review / everything is incredibly fresh! You get to pick your space and then move through adding different toppings. This is a small spot - probably 3 tables indoor and 3-4 outside. I ordered online for pickup and it took a bit for it to be ready (they only have a handful of staff) but it's absolutely worth the wait! read more

Mammoth Poke - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went here a while back, and to be fair the atmosphere was decent but the service & hospitality was rather dry. Employees seemed nice, but management is lackluster. A lot to be expected, but you're better off going to one of the other more valid businesses in the area. At best this was a mid experience, so chance of going back there again is slim, and they lost me as a customer. read more

Great selections and fresh ingredients! I ordered through Uber Eats, and everything was just right! I got a 3 scoop protein bowl with spicy tuna and spicy salmon, and I also got an ahi tuna and salmon sushi burrito! Mammoth Poke had a variety of add-ins that I just adored! From spicy bean sprouts to crunchy garlic, it was awesome! I love that this place has some really fun dressings too -- I got garlic aioli and lemon miso dressings in my poke bowl, and it tasted great! I've been meaning to find a go-to poke place so I'm glad I stumbled upon Mammoth Poke! read more

This is definitely the number one best Poke in Chicago. The fish is ALWAYS fresh. The options of toppings are amazing. The sauces are incredible, especially their signature Hawaiian Poke sauce. read more

Service was quick and friendly. Product offerings are your standard Poke protein types of tuna, salmon, shrimp and tofu. Their variety of sauces allows you to make many types of flavour combinations. My favourite is the spicy salmon with Ahi tuna. There's a strange $1 up-charge for seaweed salad where most places it is free. Value for 3 scoops of protein is comparable for the freshness quality you get in other upscale joints. I'd recommend give it a try. read more

Mammoth Poke - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best poke in Chicago! I must admit to being picky about my seafood after living in California for 7 years and this place makes the cut. Very fresh ingredients and great service. We usually get takeout but they do have a few tables and outdoor seating for dine in. read more

Spontaneously craving chilled, savory fish and found Mammoth nearby. The menu looked great and it did not dissapoint! The space is bright, open, and welcoming, with a nice mural backing the seating area. The staff were courteous, fast, and really patient as we spun our wheels deciding on what to order. We ended up ordering Takoyaki (my old spot closed down during the pandemic), a Sushi Burrito, and a 5 scoop bowl (3 salmon, 2 tuna) with brown rice. I'm a big fan of their selection of toppings that are included, the fish quality was also great. The price was a bit steep but fair. I would definitely recommend this place for someone looking for a great poke joint. read more

Fresh ingredients and great options make this a fun place for a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal! They have a wide variety of protein options as well as a plethora of toppings that can jazz up your bowl. The wasabi mayo has a great punch and the poke sauce adds a great sweetness. I will be back to try more! read more

This place really does deliver on the promise of a mammoth-sized poke bowl, and for a reasonable price too! The standard bowl offers 3 scoops of protein with several fish and shrimp options. You could also get a veggie bowl with tofu if you're so inclined. For the base I love getting half and half sushi rice/mixed greens. Even with half a serving of rice I was super full afterwards. I also love getting the beets and mango which is super fresh. The lemon miso dressing is very unique, I usually add that with another dressing like spicy mayo or garlic aioli. They also have preset poke bowls on a screen to the side if you do not want to customize your bowl. I can tell it's popular since we can around 6pm on a weekday and they were nonstop making bowls for online orders. Everything is so delicious you'll need to be careful not to eat too much and get a stomach ache like my partner did. read more

The poke bowls are excellent. I would strongly suggest avoiding the 5 protein bowl unless you are splitting it there's no way one person can eat this in one sitting. Since sushi doesn't make good leftovers make your choice! ;) Also, you get more meat in the 3 protein option. There's only so much that can fit in the bowl and if you select 5 proteins you will most likely get a little bit of 5 different kinds which defeats the point of paying for extra. Their sushi burrito is mostly rice, hard pass. Octopus balls just did not taste like an octopus so I have a hard time believing these were their actual balls. Okay I'm kidding but no this tasted like dough and I have a hard time believing there was any octopi in it at all. Get your steamed dumplings, they were great! I'd try it again but would stick to the poke bowl and steamed dumplings. read more

Best poke in the city and it's not even close. Easily the most generous and freshest fish portions. They also have 10-15 free toppings that are actually good. To name a few: fresh mango, radish, bean sprouts, beets, and on and on. Fast and friendly service make this a weekly lunch visit. read more

This place is amazing! My favorite poke place right now. It is on Western Ave and easy to find. The space isn't too big, but there are a handful of seats in case you would like to eat there. They have poke bowls, poke burritos, and appetizers on their menu. For the poke bowls, you can add quite a bit of different vegetables and toppings to it. The fish is super fresh and good quality. I also haven't been to any poke restaurants that offer kimchi. This place does, and it tasted great in my bowl. read more

Mammoth Poke is a cute, rare spot for your poké cravings in Chicago~ while the protein scoops were on the smaller size, you can always double up on your favorite choice. We recommend opting for the regular salmon and tuna -- tasted fresher & you can have them mixed with some toppings and sauces specially prepared for your order. With all the toppings, it's flavorful! Stand out toppings were their "shoelace" beet ribbons as well as their seasoned bean sprouts! Value? Unsure-- but again, filling and yummy! read more

I'm a poke lover, and Mammoth Poke did not disappoint! The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. They had a great selection of toppings and sauces. I really enjoyed the volcano sauce -- it added the perfect amount of spice. I first opted for the 3 scoop protein bowl, but the scoops were very small. I then let the worker know I would actually like the 5 scoop bowl, and she was much more generous with the last two scoops! I didn't mind paying a few extra dollars for more poke. I will surely be back! read more

Mammoth Poke - Poke bowl with brown rice. We also tried one with sushi rice and someone else tried mixed greens. GREAT. All of it. - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I generally feel that the pokes craze has kind of run it's course a few years ago. I also feel that most poke places kind of make the same thing in the same ways. That is until I discovered Mammoth poke. First, their ingredients are amazing. Their fish is sushi quality and fresh cut each day. Second, they use sushi rice in all of their bowls and the sushi burritos. My understanding is that they are one of the only poke places that uses sushi rice. The sushi rice really elevates their bowls to a new level. Third, in general, their food is great. When I was there I ordered a tuna poke bowl with both spicy tuna and tuna, a salmon poke bowl and tuna sushi. I could really taste the freshness and the quality of the fish. Fourth, their interior is very cool. They have two different murals. The first is Chicago in a poke bowl. The seconds is a is colorful stripes. This is a must visit. read more
