Patti L.

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.

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!

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!

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 .

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.

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!

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.

Fresh ingredients, quick and friendly service, reasonable prices plus a cute patio seating area. What's not to love?

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.

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.

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!

I have been to this place a few times since finding it a few weeks ago. It's a make your own poke bowl fast casual spot. You can pick your protein - which makes it perfect for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. While they have salmon, tuna, shrimp and chicken I had marinated tofu. Tons of fresh veggies and fruit to choose from as toppings. There is no limit on how many you can pick and several sauces available to finish the bowl. Healthy, delicious and completely customizable. I could eat this every day read more

Ordered a poke bowl to go and it was delicious! The process is similar to a subway or Panda Express so you build the bowl as you go. I ordered spicy salmon with sushi rice and was happy to find out you can add unlimited toppings! There were a few premium toppings but they were reasonable. Since nothing is cooked I got the bowl very quickly. Wish I would've ordered some gyoza so I'll definitely try that next time. read more

Fresh fish and a large variety of options to pick from! I love having noodles as an option for the base, and the restaurant itself is very clean and well-kept. Staff were very friendly, especially when someone else took my order my mistake and they had to re-make it on the spot. Only thing keeping me from a 5 star review is that the scoops for toppings is teeny tiny! I was expecting a bit more in my bowel, but good to know to order extra if you're ordering for pick-up. read more

Fish was good (salmon). The spicy sprouts weren't that spicy. Seafood salad was fresh. The mango wasn't ripe, but it's March. TONS of rice (I got half rice & half noodles).

Pro Tip: If you like poke bowls and know you will be ordering here more that they are in the area.... order from their website. They have a deal where if you order 10 then the 11th is free. I mean for some of us (*wink wink*) that is like within 2 months. This place is usually very busy with take outs, delivery and dine in. We decided to dine in after ordering carry out a few weeks ago.

Really enjoyed Mammoth Poke! I've tried almost every poke joint in the city, and this is definitely one of the best. The tuna and salmon were extremely fresh/clean tasting, and there was an assortment of your standard poke bowl ingredients (edamame, avocado, jalapeño, etc.), but they also had unique offerings like Spicy Bean Sprouts. The sauces were also great and complemented the bowl well! I went with the Hawaiian Poke and Lemon Miso. Can't wait to go back! read more

Each scoop of protein is a little more than a teaspoon so go all out and get five scoops! I love how fresh the ingredients are. Also, each sauce tastes clean and delicious. I normally don't like seaweed salad because its too vinegary but the seaweed salad here was great! I tried the poke bowl and the burrito and loved both. The burrito though, I would ask if they could cut it into smaller portions because it was hard to release each bite given the seaweed wrap. It would taste just as good as individual pieces of sushi. Definitely order the takoyaki. Cute and quaint space. Paid parking nearby. read more

I like to say that this location is nice because it's not in the loop so people that are working from home can you come here and it's not too busy. My only complaint is sometimes if you do order from the mobile app the portions are much smaller. I always get the modified Shroomami and I do quinoa instead of the purple rice. The river rice isn't bad, but sometimes it's a little bit overcooked and soggy. It does depend on what time of day you go to this location how fresh everything is, so if you care about that, I would go sooner than later. To save myself some money, sometimes I bring my own tomatoes from home, so it doesn't count as a topping. But, overall, I do like this location compared to most!

Having worked in NYC and Jersey…read moreCity for years I am intimately acquainted with salad spots that cost the equivalent of college tuition and still leave you wanting. However, as I was a guest in his home and his wallet I was down to give it a try over the holidays when he suggested it. Based on my experience, I'm a believer - to a point. I started with the steak hot honey base and from there went HAM. Just my salad came in around $24. That's atrocious. However it was also delicious and packed to the brim with flavor and texture. I was pleasantly surprised. I think if I ordered as is I would have been disappointed - but being able to DIY was clutch. All that said, I FIRMLY reject the designation of places like Sweetgreen, Chipotle, and Cava as "slop bowls." In a time of rising economic and food insecurity, I actually find it incredibly disrespectful. Related but undeveloped thought - I also have issues with how items that contain "soft" ingredients like rice and beans - staples in countries with large populations of non white folks - get ridiculed as "slop." Is it the price that offends us? The preparation? Or the thought that who is eating it - (white) white collar workers - "deserve better?" We should unpack that at some point. -------- Overall Verdict: Yes. On someone else's dime.

Don't skip the Zucchini Fritters, they were beyond amazing. I got the Mushroom Bowl and even though there was no meat, it was surprisingly filling (especially after the workout) and super flavorful. I think about this meal a lot and would come back if I'm in Lincoln Park. Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Overall, great place to stop by for a quick, cheap, and semi-casual meal.

The restaurant itself is cute, not super big but there's a lot of seating. The servers are always friendly and there's always a ton of people working LOL. It was pretty busy for a Friday evening, and I only had to wait for 10 minutes or so for my order to be ready. I got the pork souvlaki skewers as a bowl. I really liked it, I thought the pork was perfectly charred and the toppings were all fresh and went really well with it. The rice was also fluffy and seasoned well, which is usually my biggest critique of bowl meals. Overall, solid option if you want something fast to go or to enjoy in the store.

At what point does a salad stop being a salad, and start becoming legally eligible to be classified…read moreas rabbit food? I don't have a good answer, except to say this: wherever that line is, I felt as though Just Salad crossed it. All this, with a price point greater than 5lbs of 'actual' rabbit food. I'd ordered a Maple Crispy Chicken Salad. I feel deceived by the photo on the menu, for it felt as though it were mostly spinach and arugula, with everything else being as if an afterthought. The cheddar, almonds, cranberries, corn, and carrots were in amounts too small to offer a balance or contrast to the greens. Meanwhile, the amount of chicken was straight-up laughable. It felt like a little treasure hunt for a little protein! Now, drumroll please... A bowl of mostly greens and a meager amount of extras for right around $15 before tax... eep! Severely overpriced if you ask me. I will give them points for the ingredients being fresh, and not seeming like they'd been sitting out for too long. I'd also like to give a shoutout for the fast service, though to be fair I did stop in just before the lunch rush. With all of this, I would ordinarily award two stars. However, a month or so again had a Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap, which didn't suffer from my qualms with the salad. This one was well balanced, and not simply greens in a tortilla. While also overpriced in my opinion, not as severely as the salad.

I paid for extra sauce, and the pizza was dry. It was also so salty it was barely edible. We ate what we could tolerate to not waste it, but unfortunately, I won't be ordering from here again.

I love building my own custom bowl with fresh ingredients. This gives me a healthy alternative when eating out! I get my 5 protein bowl with ahi tuna, seasoned chicken, and fresh salmon. In addition I get it with avocado, pineapple, mango, carrots, crunchy garlic pico de gallo. I love the spicy miso soup as well. My preferred sauces are poke and garlic aioli. read more
