The food was so good and the service was great! Portions were appropriate for price. Ingredients were fresh.

Even though Pittsburgh Poke is known for having a great selection of fresh seafood, it's still a wonderful spot if you don't eat seafood at all. They have plenty of delicious non-seafood options on the menu, ranging from grilled chicken entrees to incredibly flavorful, juicy steaks. I also really appreciated their fresh salads, which made it easy to put together a great meal with a chicken selection. read more

Absolutely fantastic Poke on the South Side. A family run affair, with a few hidden gems in the menu make this a worthwhile stop if you're wandering about the quaint South Side of Pittsburgh. Plenty of space to dine-in, though I saw a lot of take-out, and friendly service. Being vegetarian, the owners made us a veggie Poke bowl which was delicious. Somehow the sauce stuck out as being unctuous and creamy. The owners have a few Burmese gems on their menu if you want to get adventurous. The prices are very reasonable, and parking was no trouble on a weeknight. read more

Pittsburgh Poke has great sushi, along with other foods. They're priced pretty reasonably and made very quickly! I enjoy the simplicity of this restaurant. The staff isn't the most friendly, but it doesn't deter me from getting food here. This time I got the shrimp tempura roll & a cucumber roll, which were both delicious and tasted fresh! read more

Best poke I've had in Pittsburgh! As a Californian, I was very impressed (def beats many spots in ca!!) will absolutely come back!! Great quality food, amazing flavor, nice owner :) lots of places to sit too! read more

Ordered online through Beyond Menu. First off the order took an additional 30+ minutes to arrive. I even called the business and asked where my food was and the person on the other end kept deflecting and ultimately told me to wait 10 more minutes. I was going to call again when the order finally arrived. When we received the food, various items were missing, including: honeydew drink, fried chicken and rice appetizer, crab rangoon, and various additions we made to our meals (additional protein which was +$2 each that was left out). Roughly ~$30+ of food was missing from my order. Everything in the order that was supposed to be hot was ice cold as well. All fried foods were soaked in cold oil and disgusting to eat. The shrimp spring rolls tasted rancid and I had to throw them out. The crab rangoon we did get (we ordered two of them) was just pure salt. No flavor of crab or cream cheese, just freezing cold outside and pure salt inside. I called customer service to receive a refund of the items missing and will update if the restaurant actually refunds me, but I doubt they will. I am not writing this to get a refund but to warn other people to not eat here. There are so many other places in the city more deserving of your time and money. This is my first and last time ordering here and I will be warning everyone I know to not eat at this scammy, disgusting place. Do NOT order raw food from here for your safety. read more

Always a fantastic time when dining in at Pittsburgh poke!! My partner and I go already 1x a month and my my they don't ever disappoint! The hours changed recently so check in before you make a trip there. read more

This location in the south side opened just a couple of weeks ago so of course my trusty sidekick and I had to try it out and wow what a flavor explosion! The fish and all the other ingredients were so fresh and delish and the person helping us was very patient and gave us great recommendations! I really didn't think I'd like mango in our classic burrito or in the Pittsburgh poke bowl but just do it - it was a nice balance to the heat we had in both dishes. Lots of space to eat and location and as nice and clean - want to come back for sure and try more ! read more

I ordered through postmates and got a wildly incorrect order (though correct enough to know that it was still mine). The food that I did get was very tasty! The vegetarian and vegan options are lovely and I've been on the search for a good sushi burrito since I moved here a year ago. Unfortunately, the tamago sashimi I ordered was not included. The burrito I ordered was almost delivered, but as a bowl instead of a burrito. A surprise additional sushi burrito was included but, unfortunately, my partner and I do not eat meat and fish so we had to give it to neighbours. The food that did arrive was very good, but I do wish that more attention to detail was there. read more

They had me at 'sushi burrito'! Went in and there was no one there which allowed me to really look things over. I got the burrito with tuna and salmon, white rice and a bunch of veggies. I don't know if the bowls are less food, but this burrito was HUGE. And for the price, it's a deal. You would normally get a single sushi roll for $11 and this burrito is more food than a single roll. I got a side of the seaweed salad to try. It was a nice side for the burrito. I highly recommend going. I will definitely be back when I'm in town. read more

This is one my favorite places to get lunch in downtown Pittsburgh. I love burritos - I love sushi - so unsurprisingly, I love the sushi burritos here! I admittedly haven't been able to break my burrito addiction and order any actual poke bowls yet. Soon though! This eatery may look plain and simple, but don't let that appearance fool you or scare you off. This place is home to some quality food, as well as very good staff who can keep a line moving and make you smile with their delicious creations. Although, I guess it's really YOUR creations, since you can pick what goes in your burrito or bowl! Currently I usually order one of the pre-set menu options because it's a great combination (Spicy tuna, salmon, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo wrapped in sushi rice, sesame seeds and nori.). But for those of you who want something more: the sushi burritos work the same as their poke bowls. You can choose a base (rice, greens, quinoa, or half & half), two or three proteins, plus your mix-ins and sauces. The staff will put your order together similar to a Chipotle ordering line, and you'll be ready to dine! As others have mentioned, this place is small, so it's best to come early or to be ready to carry your food out to eat elsewhere. And if you're totally new to the poke/sushi burrito game, their four pre-set menu options can help you get familiar with the process and the flavors you can combine. So go forth and create your meals, my friends - and enjoy! read more

I came here on a Monday right before they were closing and the waitress was so nice to take my to go order and allow me to still place an order.

My prayers have been answered! I thought only "trendy" cliché cities like NYC or LA would have poke bowl/sushi burrito places, but when I found out that this little hole in the wall existed, right in the center of downtown PGH, and a mere 800 ft from my apartment, I was jumping with joy! The establishment isn't anything fancy, just a grab-n-go place set up like a Subway or Chipotle. First, you choose your base- white rice/brown rice/quinoa/mixed greens, then pick your protein-seared or spicy tuna, salmon, seared salmon, tofu or chicken, then veggies, sauces and toppings. Overall, extremely filling! A great post workout meal with all the protein. I've only been there twice, but my favorite is the salmon and seared tuna with quinoa/mixed greens base, with cucumber, red cabbage, mango, cilantro, avocado, red onion, seaweed salad, fried onions, house spicy miso with spicy mayo and nori flakes. Have yet to try the sushi burrito but will save that for a day I can afford to binge on carbs ;). I suggested that they start a frequent customer punchcard for those who eat here frequently (like I know I will be!). Hopefully they do something like that soon, with it being $12-$13 a bowl. Thanks Pittsburgh Poke, for existing! read more

Good food and decent service for my takeout. That said, no AC indoors means it's not somewhere I would eat inside.

Clean and quiet. Service was incredible and fast. The food does not disappoint either. The pork belly buns are INCREDIBLE! The Crab Rangoon are delicious. The wrapper is thin but crispy and the filling is better than any other ones I've ever had. All of the sushi rolls I've ordered have not disappointed either. I can't recommend this place more. It's so good I've ordered from them on a Friday and again on Sunday. Definitely worth it! read more

Found this little gem near market square. The outer exterior of the restaurant is humble but don't let that sway you away because the food is great. We ordered two items on our recent visit -- the house bowl 2 and house burrito 1. The portions were generous especially the rice. The only change I would make next time is to ask for less rice and to switch the white rice to brown rice. The seafood in both the dishes were delicious and the sauces drizzled on top added a nice touch. The lady who prepared our dishes was quite fast and so I guess this is fast food in a way but not in the typical sense because the food is healthy. Carb heavy but you can definitely customize your bowl/burrito the way you want. Delicious! 5 stars hands down. read more

Sushi and poke was mostly rice with barely any fish. This occurred two orders in a row

This place is meh. I got the sushi burrito and my friend got the avocado cucumber roll and they were both just okay - she thought that the avocado might be frozen. For a $20 sushi burrito I expect a big portion but it came out looking much smaller than I expected. Also I know we're in Pennsylvania but I didn't think the fish was very fresh at all. The ambiance is whatever, I came in at like 7 pm and all the chairs were stacked up and the owners had locked the doors for some reason but they let us in. Also the front glass on the front door is smashed. I'm not sure where these high reviews are coming from, I think since I'm from the coast I have higher standards for sushi. I would come back to try their bento box though, I'm a believer in second chances and it seems like a pretty good deal. read more

We've been meaning to stop by this place for quite some time. A man walked up behind us while we were standing outside the door, wondering if today was the day, and he said "if you're trying to decide, the answer is yes! It's really good." We took his word for it and we were not disappointed. We opted to share a sushi bowl because we weren't incredibly hungry. There were tons of toppings! We added all kinds of stuff in our bowl and were impressed that the different types of fish didn't cost more. It was a standard price for 2 or 3 proteins. This was awesome because usually when you go for sushi the price depends on the type of fish and can get pretty expensive. We really enjoyed the bowl and it met our needs for how hungry we were. The restaurant was neat and clean and the service was great! read more

My boyfriend ordered through door dash the first time today. We eat sushi very often and I have never smelled fish more awful. The nigiri was just a mountain of rice with three pieces of fish on top and the tobiko looked like something I have never seen before. The "tobiko" seems like freezer burnt ikura, and once again the smell is unlike anything I've had with sushi before. Just opening the containers my fingers stink. Never again read more

I got a super Mario roll, which is supposed to include shrimp tempura. The sushi is okay, but it didn't include the shrimp tempura. My girlfriend also ordered pineapple fried rice with beef. We got a huge portion of fried rice with no pineapple and no beef. I ordered a Thai tea, and they gave it to the delivery driver in a brown paper bag. By the time it arrived to us, it had toppled over and half of it had spilled. Finally, the crab Rangoon we ordered were completely cold and soggy. They were inedible. I'm giving one star because the sushi and fried rice were made incorrectly, the way they packaged our items led to some of our order being spilled before it even arrived to us, and the crab Rangoon looked and tasted like they had been sitting out for hours. read more

Pretty good. Reasonably priced. The selection isn't very broad but everything they have is still good. Would definitely go again.

The inside and outside of this shop are pretty janky. A lot of the focus is clearly on the food, which tasted of quality and fresh--exactly what you'd want from a joint with raw proteins. But that said, the price is comparable if not more than superior poke shops in Oakland and other nearby neighborhoods. read more

Super yum! Everything I wanted in a poke bowl. I arrived early evening on a weekday and there was no line. I was greeted by a very kind girl who explained to me the process. You start with your base. You can either get a bowl or burrito style. I decided to get my base with half brown rice and half lettuce. You can choose as many meats as you want. I did spicy tuna and salmon. There's also tons of toppings to choose from. They don't charge you extra for avocado and they give you such a generous amount of seafood and toppings. You can choose as many as you want and the portions are abundant. For the price, which I think I paid about $13, it was so worth it. It was a heavy bowl full of deliciousness. The customer service was great, the price was reasonable, the food was delicious, and I didn't even have to wait in line. Located in the center of downtown Pittsburgh near market Square, Pittsburgh Poke definitely a thumbs up. read more

Pittsburgh Poke - I want this right NOW! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm a vegetarian and have lost a lot of weight over the past year, largely by eliminating most processed foods from my life and focusing on whole, healthy foods. The downtown lunch spots that get my business have to prioritize whole, healthy ingredients, and this one does just that. I come here once every week or two for a bowl. You start with a base of brown rice and quinoa, greens, white rice or a combo of any of these. Add a protein (or two), then all the fresh cold veggies you want, some toppings like crunchy onions, sesame seeds or pickled ginger, and dressing (the house poke is excellent). It'll run you $13 or so, not the cheapest lunch in the 'Burgh, but a big, filling portion, and everything is so fresh and such great quality, I don't mind paying for a business that's doing it right. You would never even think to go in this place from the outside, but don't let that stop you. Inside it's sparse, no-frills, but there's a decent amount of seating and it's very clean. This is a wonderful, underrated spot in the Pittsburgh food scene, but locals know about it. It gets a line during peak times, but they move fast to prepare your food as you watch and choose your ingredients. read more

My first experience with poke was in Hawaii. It was a magical, new food that I found myself searching for all over the islands. Never did I ever think that there would be something like that here in Pittsburgh! This spot is definitely legit! They have so many different seafood options including tuna, salmon, shrimp, roe, spicy tuna...and it's all very fresh. You can choose several different options for your bowl. They have white and brown rice, quinoa, or a field greens base. Then you add all of the toppings that you want. Choose your Seafood choose all sorts of veggies, and different toppings like seaweed salad, sliced jalapenos, mangos, masago, etc. Top it all off with one of their house made poke sauces. Also be sure to get some of the spicy mayo on the side or drizzled on the top of your bowl. I also believe that they're going to have hot bowls in the near future. I believe something along the lines of Korean bibimbap. I can't wait to try that! I don't get downtown too often, but when I do this is I stopped I always make. read more

Pittsburgh Poke - Double tuna poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I could be wrong, but this is the only place that makes a Sushi Burrito that I know of in the general Pittsburgh area,...so I had to try it. Not the nicest of storefronts, inside is cleaner but not beautiful. They definitely need to crank up the A/C in warm, humid July days. The Sushi Burrito making process is simple. Pick your rice, proteins, veggies, sauces and other extras. Roll it up and enjoy. I went with white rice with Shrimp and Spicy Tuna. Added only green onions and celery along with Spicy mayo. Finally added some tempura and wasabi/ginger on the side. Basically, it's Sushi in Burrito form. Very good and filling. The Sushi Poke bowls seem to be a big seller and there was always a line while I was there, but the wait is not long. Looking forward to my next visit already! read more

I feel as though I need to update this. Been back MULTIPLE times since but the last 2 times the portions were unbelievably small. Yes the toppings are great because you can get a bunch of different ones. But the amount of fish they are now scooping into the bowl is ridiculously small and not worth a $11-$15 lunch. I don't think I eat huge portions but both my coworker and I left still hungry. It was odd because I could tell some people working were giving a slightly more acceptable portion but I think i got 3 or 4 cubes of salmon in the bowl. Can't say this place is going to stay at the top of my list any longer. read more

Poke finally comes to Pittsburgh ... a trend that seems to be hitting most U.S. cities like no other (not sure why). Anyways, came here as this was new at the time. Here are my impressions. Decor/Ambiance: Interior is rather unimpressive. Essentially with some tables/chairs for seating, a condiments/sauce bar, and the ordering register/checkout area where you can order & add your extras. Reminds me of cafeteria-like set up, which I don't mind. Food: Quite yummy. You can either create your own poke bowl or sushi burrito, choose your bases (quinoa +$1), proteins (2 - $10.99, 3 - $12.99), mix-ins, sauces, and toppings. There are also presets if you're too lazy to do so. Food here is great. Seafood used is fresh, mix-ins are fresh & diverse (love the variety), and sauces & toppings as well in regards to variety. Love the diverse customization you can do here with your order & at a most reasonable price as price points are relatively cheap compared to poke joints I've been to in other cities. Overall, a most worthy poke joint to visit in order to satisfy your poke craving. Just be warned that parking can be a bit of a pain since it is downtown & meter maids are much more viligant about enforcing the limited street parking around this area. read more

The service was quick and friendly, the place was clean. The food is excellent! We will definitely be back.

Love love love! I finally got to check out Pittsburgh Poke last night. Have you ever been to Chipotle? Or Hello Bistro? You essentially "design" what you eat...meet - Pittsburgh Poke First start is a base - brown or white rice, quinoa (+$1), salad or half/half. I went brown rice and quinoa. (I personally love quinoa in my salads - so I bet it would be a great half/half with lettuce too!) Side note: Doing the half/half gets you around the extra $1 for quinoa too! Second stop - meat! You get 2 choices for the $10.99 option. Personally - that was PLENTY. I chose to get 2 scoops of salmon - but they have alll kinds of choices (Salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, chicken, etc). Third stop is mix ins - avocado, cucumber, carrot, etc. They have a TON of great mix ins. It seems that you could pick as many as you wanted. Fourth - toppings/dressing - I got the ginger sesame. I added some soy sauce as they don't give you a ton of sauce - so the little bit of extra soy sauce was helpful. The only downfall was the air conditioner was broken. You would think - raw fish...no air...should I be nervous? Nope! Their fish is fresh, phenomenal and tasty. We didn't eat on site because of the air problem - but still quick service, phenomenal food, and quick and easy to go - all for $12 (a little more with tip!) The only thing - I wish they were open a little later on week nights. I get that lunch is their BIG crowd (understandably!) But maybe on sport event nights and/or show nights - stay open a bit later than 7. It's hard to get down there sometimes. I definitely can not wait to go back. Maybe a burrito next time. It was SO good. read more

Pittsburgh Poke - Salmon poke bowl! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ordered thru Grub hub, the poke bowl was supposed to be tuna and shrimp, could only find 3-4 tiny pieces of shrimp, ordered two sauces to be put in the bowl, it arrive with NO sauce. If you stand in their shop and watch them make it you might be OK but getting it delivered or take out you are gambling. Very disappointed... read more

The bad: Some of the salmon chunks were straight up frozen. The rest of them had a slightly mushy texture and no flavor (probably from being frozen). I got salmon in the first place because the tuna looked grey and dull and sad, probably old. The good: really good sauces and toppings. Decent rice. However, I can't give more than 1 star because the defining element of poke is the fish, and the fish here was by far the worst I've had out of dozens of poke places. I got my bowl to-go because I had to catch a bus, and wasn't able to go back to the restaurant by the time I had found the frozen fish. Disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

I was so excited when I heard a poké bowl restaurant was opening up in Pittsburgh. I made a special trip to downtown for lunch to try it. I wish it was on the Market Square side of the block but like other reviews have said don't let the wall in the hole location deter you. The price is worth the quality ingredients and quantity. Their white rice base is AMAZING! I also loved their sauces. After sampling their sauces, it was difficult to choose. So I will be returning to try more base+protein+topping+sauce combinations! read more
