I decided to switch it up from my usual Whole Foods salad bar dinner this time - poke bowl co is located inside this Whole Foods and has great customizable bowl options. I got the size large, which was more than enough food. The large size comes with 4 protein choices so I tried the naked salmon, naked tuna, karage fried chicken, and bang bang shrimp. I had this on top of zucchini noodles with some fresh toppings and chose the sriracha aioli sauce. Everything was delicious! Next time I'd go for a non creamy sauce. It would have been nice to have some lettuce as a base too but otherwise a great meal! read more

Pokē Bowl Co - Large size with karage chicken, bang bang shrimp, naked salmon, naked tuna, and other toppings - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Extremely authentic, very tasty, great value. So so fresh and delicious I love this place!

really yummy and super kind service! They load those bowls up- no skimping! Great spot for a quick lunch

Ordered this to-go for the first time tonight and it was delicious. The spicy flavors/seasoning on the tuna and salmon were delicious. Plus I always love a good siracha aioli. The fish was super fresh and tasty, large portions and chunks of tuna/salmon made it worth the price. I ordered it with brown rice, jalapeños, and avocado as well. All were great. Will definitely go back. read more

Pokē Bowl Co - Tuna Poke (1/2 lb) Salmon Poke (1/2 lb) - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

"Poke Bowl Co" is inside this Whole Foods in Lincoln Park. Toward the end of the market there's a food court. Poke around, then you shall find it! Like other poke places in the city, there are pre-set choices (3 of them: tuna, salmon, and veggie creations). Of course one can build his or her own bowl, starting with protein (no marinated options), toppings (extra $1 with avocado), and sauces (extra $1 with tobiko sauce). Everything is made-to-order and you can see the workers handling the food. The large bowl costs around $13 or $14. Hubby and I opted for the large size because we were hungry and excited for another "poke date." A large bowl gave out a generous amount of raw fish. In my "salmon for days" bowl, the Korean hot sauce that was drizzled on wasn't overly spicy and it had just the right amount of kick. Some of their toppings were their own concoctions and were quite creative. Although their fish wasn't marinated, it was actually better since there were a plenty of sauces and flavors that the fish absorbed. You pay with the centralized checkout near the stairs and elevators leading to the indoor/outdoor dining areas. I assumed that you can pay with the rest of groceries at the grocery checkout if you're taking your poke bowl home. Knowing that "Poke Bowl Co" inside the Whole Foods gives an incentive to come over this part of town to "poke" around the stores nearby and perhaps pick up some groceries (on sale...since it's slightly over my budge if I choose to shop at Whole Foods for all my everyday grocery needs). read more

Normally it's okay but this new kid working there today had no clue how to prepare a large bowl. Peanut portions and got charged $20, I should've just walked away but I felt bad. Not goin there again! read more

Honestly I would have given them 4 stars but...... I chose the large size ($14.5 without tax!!!). I got a build your own with literally everything (naked salmon, green and red cabbage, seaweed salad, edamame, fried toppings, sriracha aioli (their version of spicy mayo), and jalepenos. That was a pretty good tasting poke bowl. The sauce is really good and probably healthier version of spicy mayo. Also, their salmon is super fresh! BUT I don't know if it tasted so good that it justifies the premium you're paying. If I went to another poke place and paid $11, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. read more

Delicious flavor combinations, endlessly customizable, and I actually thought the portion sizes were just fine. $15 for a large, and it is a sufficiently hearty dinner. I found the fried shallots just a little too crunchy, and was disappointed that avocado was an extra $1, but otherwise really enjoyed my dinner. Recommend the marinated ahi with the sweet sesame sauce. This is the best dinner option I've found that's walking distance from the iO theatre, honestly! (And it's right across the street!) read more

For the price this place is ridiculous. I ordered a large bowl with extra protein and it was the size of a small bowl anywhere else. I don't know if it's because it's inside a whole foods so it's not treated as a "real store" or what but this place is a complete rip-off. Don't waste your money. read more

We decided to grab dinner before completing our grocery shopping. I recall reading that a poke shop opened in the store and it seemed like a good option for a "healthier" dinner since we usually gravitate toward the taqueria or diner at the store. We both went with the large poke bowl with tuna and white rice and I got to stay, I was more than a little disappointed. What I loved was the large option of toppings and sauces for my poke as well as three pre-selected combos. What I didn't love was two things. First, the sauces. I tasted the only sauce listed as spicy, a soy-based sauce. I'm not sure why they call it spicy, but spicy it was not. It wasn't overly salty, but salt was the only flavor that came to mind when I tasted it. The way they build the bowl is to section out the ingredients and they put some of the sauce over the fish. For my main sauce, I went with the wasabi aioli, hoping that would add some heat to the bowl. There must be a micro pinch of wasabi in the sauce because there was no horseradishy bite to the sauce at all. I considered the sriracha aioli, but that too wasn't marked as spicy and was noticeably higher in calories than the other sauces, which seemed odd. Second, the value. The large bowl is about the same as the largest bowl at Aloha Poke. I do give kudos to them for not overloading the bowl with rice. What I didn't like is that the bowl felt like it was only 2/3 full, which made the $14 price tag seem high. Overall, this is a decent dining option inside the store, but not a favorite. I'd give it another chance, but I won't be running back. read more

Terrible. I order poké every Sunday for lunch And this was by far my least favorite spot. The salmon and tuna just didn't seem fresh. Wouldn't recommend read more

I stopped by Whole Foods to return a few things and of course got hungry for lunch! Somehow, I never noticed all the vendors this Whole Foods has- stir fry stand, a diner stand, poke bowls. It's a huge leap forward for Whole Foods where in the past they'd just have a salad bar (with a plethora of toppings might I add). You order at the counter from either a set menu option or a custom made order that you create from their mix-ins. Everything takes just a couple of minutes to create and then you pay at the regular Whole Foods registers. The employee on duty said the most popular options were the 'Tuna in the raw' and 'Salmon for days' on the set menu. I opted for the large Tune in the raw with brown rice. It's a lot of food and pretty tasty. You do get asked if you want to change any of it up, but I got it as is. Make sure to grab a rewards card to rack up a free bowl after 10 visits. read more

So good! My fiancé and I get this at least once a week. Such a good healthy and filling option. I also love their zucchini noodles addition!

Fresh poke conveniently located in Whole Foods! First time here and it was a great experience. The build your own poke bowl was easy and the staff were very helpful with answering questions about sauces and toppings. they even have a loyalty card!! parking is also extremely easy because of being located in Whole Foods and there's plenty of seating. Great way to grab a healthy meal while getting your grocery shopping done. read more

I'll have to take a better picture in the future this is my new go to poke place. The ingredients are fresh and there is good variety. I'm a big fan of their wasabi aioli, it's not overwhelming. My friend got the bang bang shrimp and we were pleasantly surprised to see they fry it to order. Will be back again! read more

Pokē Bowl Co - Build Your Own Bowl - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I think already third time I can taste some mold in the food and can't understand where it comes from , for such-a high price it should never happen in my opinion. Also every time the African American woman is there she looks unhappy to see Cliant coming to order. Maybe 4 times already the same thing. I feel uncomfortable even ordering. Poor women looks like she hates to take an order. I don't know what is happening with America - but I'll have to start making my own salad :( read more

Laughable portion sizes and questionable fish quality. My boyfriend and I both had quite an "explosive" reaction to our meals here and swore to never come back. Unfortunate that such an overpriced poke bowl doesn't even come with fresh ingredients. Don't recommend! read more

This is located inside the Whole Foods. I feel a little strange writing a review where we strictly planned on going to a Whole Foods to eat at their food hall. But we have been on a pretty good Poke kick and wanted to try this out. Garage parking is available at this location first and foremost. This Whole Foods makes me feel like I'm at an Eataly, French Market or Latinicity where it's super market meets food hall. The food court is toward the back of the store, and they have indoor and outdoor seating along the river. We had decided to try out Poke Bowl Co which was the main reason for our visit here. You place your order via tablet at the front register - all of which showed calorie counts which was pretty cool. They have some "additional $" options so it can get pricey depending on what you like in your poke. Ours basically was about $15-$20/ea just because our inner fatgirls were starving that day. They had lots of options to pick from. The wait wasn't long (they call your name once your order is done) and you either pre-pay when you order or pay at the regular check out. It didn't take them too long to make our bowls. Enough time for us to go and grab beverages and a snacks. The food itself was pretty good and they offer some options that other Poke places do not (for example, kelp noodle). My husband and I were both fairly happy with our meals and we would definitely make this a lunch option again. read more

Best Poke in town. Super fresh, healthy and a great value. Caviar add one only $1 is worth it! Owner Mookie is kinda weird but in a good way. read more

Pokē Bowl Co - Poke Bowl in Whole Foods Lincoln Park - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Was alright for food within Whole Foods, only thing was that it felt very poorly composed and wasn't very flavorful despite their hugeee list of ingrediants. The fish itself was limited while they stocked the bowls food of things like rice. Everything is ordered on a digital pad and made fresh. Was also SUPER frustrating cause the order pads would fail to process the orders numerous times (happened to the people next to me as well). Overall not too bad for a quick bite if you're in Whole Foods anyways. Otherwise i'd probably just make the extra effort and go to an actual poké shop. read more

Mediocre at best. After frequenting many other poke restaurants in California and others in the Chicago area, I was excited to try this place, located conveniently inside Whole Foods. Unfortunately this place just didn't have what I was looking for. My biggest gripes: 1.) Freshness - I started by selecting a salmon bowl, small-regular sized. Not only is the portion small (approx 1-2 tbsp of sashimi) for what you pay for, but the freshness of the sashimi was not spectacular. There was a fishy aftertaste, which is usually an indicator that the fish just wasn't as fresh as sashimi grade fish should be. To add, the quinoa that I tried with my bowl was undercooked and the seaweed salad a strange brown-green that I've never really seen before. 2.) Ingredients - Very limited toppings. They do not offer masago or crab salad... isn't this the best part of poke bowls? The frustration. 3.) Price - simply not worth what you're paying for. I paid $10+ for a small poke bowl just to add my own ingredients when I came home. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be back again. read more

Finally! So happy to have delicious Poké at Whole Foods as an option. Healthy, quick, and most importantly fresh. They get all of their produce and fish from Whole Foods' purveyors so it's all at the highest quality and ethically sourced. I hear poké nachos are coming soon... read more

Had a chance to visit this location while visiting and staying with friends nearby in Old Town. We have a lot of options of poké in NYC and Im a pescatarian so I eat poke pretty frequently. I ordered the Hot-tunamatata and it was flavorful and had the perfect balance of sauces. Would highly recommend! read more

The bowls are significantly smaller now. I've been going here for a couple years and was surprised to see how tiny they are now. Definitely not worth it anymore. Got 5 little pieces of tuna cubes and 5 little pieces of salmon for a regular bowl that cost $14. read more

Wow, I have enjoyed Poke out in California & Hawaii, but this bowl just blew me away. Fresh & complex flavors! read more

The tuna bowl is delicious. Tuna is fresh and the bowl has lots of great flavors. Can't wait to try some more!

The portion sizes are insanely small for how overpriced this is. Even with it being so small the howl was not even completely filled. I added Korean beef for an extra $3. That extra money bought me 5 smaller than dime size pieces of meat. Incredible waste of money. Also the seaweed salad looks far from fresh. Will not order again read more

Super fresh fish, great selection of veggies, top notch sauces (try the spicy Korean). Heard they source their ingredients from Whole Foods which is awesome. They make your bowl in a chipotle style line where you can see and choose the ingredients for your bowl unlike some of the other spots I've been to in Chicago. Great spot and addition to Lincoln Park! read more

Would have preferred mixed greens instead of cabbage but otherwise very good. Fresh, reasonably priced, variety of options to customize to your preference. Would highly recommend! read more

Oh my gawsh oh my gawsh it was so good. I normally am not into sushi or healthy food or that whole genre, but this is so falvorful delish and addicting. I bought one bowl ate it then bought another for lunch but couldn't wait and ate that one too. Don't judge me! read more

This. Place. Is. Awesome. Fresh, flavorful, convenient. I've lost weight and gained muscle mass with by eating from Poke Bowl 3 times per week. My hair grows out thicker and softer. I'm 35 percent smarter. 4 /5 dentists say my teeth are not crooked anymore. My friends stopped screening my phone calls. Who knows what will happen when I start eating here 4 times per week?! Disclaimer: It's just real good food, none of the other stuff happened. read more

I got "salmon for days" off the shelf next to the store and rice was just a one big mushy blob. it wouldn't crumble. It was basically mashed potato of rice. Felt like returning it except they'd likely throw it in the trash and that's against my beliefs. suffered through it like an idiot. Hopefully, I'll learn my lesson and avoid this place in the future. read more

I am so glad I found this place. I LOVE the poke! It's tender and fresh and the portions are very generous. They have a good variety of options to choose from and the staff is friendly! So if you need your poke fix this is definitely the place to come to. read more

Amazing!! The fish is super fresh and you can taste the high grade quality. The vegetables compliment the bowl well making it healthy but still flavorful. I will be going back a lot read more

Quick, fresh, delicious and awesome customer service!!!! Some of the best/freshest tuna I've ever had. The sauces are all amazing and worth exploring as well. And yes, maybe I do like to make my orders a "little" unique (read complicated) and most often I feel guilty/high maintenance. But with such fresh and quality ingredients right in your face to chose from, it's hard to resist. Not only did they indulge my "creativity", every time I've gone, they've added suggestions for toppings that were right on. It really shows that they take the time and have a passion for what they do. Now if they only delivered.... read more

Great poke bowls! I got the create-your-own salmon. High quality salmon and fresh, tasty toppings. The large was a lot of food too! My only criticism is that it's a little pricy (my meal was $13). Overall, though, great meal and service! read more

This place is a refreshing concept on poke. I came here with my partner who was a vegetarian and she left a little underwhelmed. I ordered a tuna in the raw and my partner got a zen garden. She was disappointed to find that there is no real protein option offered for vegetarians. When assembling her bowl, she was also disappointed to find that there was no mixed green option apart from some cabbage. My bowl was filling, and tasted quite great. The Sriracha aoli was not spicy at all though. The portion is decent but i feel that they skimp on some toppings and load up the cheaper ones. Also after paying a dollar each for both my wife and I to have an unripe avocado quarter on top, especially after dishing out nearly thirty dollars on two bowls was pretty disheartening. Besides that, the two gentlemen at the counter were kind and patient despite a long line and the toppings were as fresh as could be. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves poke, I don't know if I can say the same about my partner. read more
