Thought the mac salad could use more seasoning. Would come back to try more though TEXTURE: 5/5 - crispy, perfectly fried chicken and loved the mochiko plate's gochujang mayo sauce. Sandwich was messy and indulgent! PRICE: 5/5 - $16 plates, couldn't believe it. Great value SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - everything was loaded up, we were truly in awe of these portions lol SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 7:30pm on a Friday to a super energetic staff. We were the only ones dining in, but there were a crazy amount of takeout orders ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a fun space w colorful murals, Pokemon playing on screen, and Spanish music absolutely blasting! PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot right on Walnut St

Today I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment. It had been recommended to me by so many…read moreand I was in the area so I thought I'd check it out. As soon as you walk in, you are in the battle of the drums between the Kumasi and the Djembe. So loud I couldn't think . I did ask to turn it down a few times, in the middle of my meal the Chef said I could eat outside. On that note I ordered way too much. The fried chicken was delicious !! Not greasy at all. But huge, sorry today I ordered two thighs that were the size of one large breast. A little condiment of shaved coconut and chive was on the side. Any sides were à la carte. I did try the " Cabbage Salad" that had a nice flavor, but was overdressed and is mostly iceberg lettuce, and rice with surprisingly sticky rice , so it was kind of yummy. The chicken came with one sauce I got the curry. It was divine.. & my friend got the chicken bites and some kind of mayo. I was going to leave a five star review because the food was that good however, on the receipt they charged $.92 for the containers and eating utensils. I'm disheartened because if they offered an alternative like a plate and regular silverware, I could see not adding it into their cost. If I refuse to pay for the containers, how would I eat it on that note the chef was nice enough to me to have me try a couple of items that I didn't have to pay for. Which I greatly appreciated and that is why I'm leaving such a nice review. I do recommend eating here, but take it home. Or call for delivery, they have their own AP. PS great smoothie's !!!

Found this place on Google, saw that I'd had great reviews and had to give it a try! I was on…read morevacation and touring the Harvard campus, Manoa was a short drive from the campus. Street parking was a little difficult in the area, but the food was so worth it! I ordered a poke plate, which came with two proteins of choice, plus macaroni and cucumber salad. While everything was good, the fish was definitely the stand out! I've never had poke where the fish pieces were so large. The fish was soooo fresh, melted in your mouth, and had great flavor. The inside is small and intimate with a few seating options. Service was fast, my food was ready within 5 minutes. So good!!! Definitely a need to try if you're in the area!

I've been wanting to try Manoa Poke Shop for YEARS but never got around to it until recently…read more They're open 4 days out of the week (Weds-Sat) & are only open for a few hours, so it's hard to find a day to go in to try. Luckily, I was able to go on the weekend after 5pm. Hours-- Weds: 5pm-8:30pm Thurs: 4:30pm-8:30pm Fri+Sat: 3pm-8:30pm So, I totally didn't expect there to be such a longgg line to order @5:30pm on a Saturday! We were all packed in there like sardines. By the time I got to the front of the line & was able to order, they ran out of most things. Originally, I wanted to get the spicy salmon + ahi tuna, however, they had ran out of both. I ended up getting a mix plate with spicy tuna + ahi oka. I wanted to try the Manoa chip dip but that was also out by the time I got to order haha. I liked the spicy tuna but wasn't the biggest fan of the ahi oka, which is raw tuna with coconut cream, lime juice, onion, scallions, ginger, + chilis. I found the rice, kimchi cucumbers, + Mac and cheese to be just all right... wasn't very impressed by the plate overall. I still felt hungry afterwards and ended up going to grab dinner. Mind you, it doesn't take much food to make me feel full & for $21, this wasn't the most satisfying meal in terms of taste + portion size. Fish tasted fresh though at least but I don't think I'll be back. Seating: there's only like 3 tables; two for parties of 4ish and one smaller table for 2.

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Poke was pretty good! Nothing particularly special, but creamy miso sauce was delicious. Pretty standard poke portion, appears smaller than it is. Service was polite but not super friendly. Ambiance was very cute, reminded me a lot of Honolulu, and very clean overall. Well done for the atmosphere of the cuisine. Bonus points for bathroom being super clean. Parking easy, it's in a larger plaza with a big lot right out front. Loose Lead Boba available inside - boba was good but tea was a little watered down.

Backstory: The first time I visited a pokemoto was in Franklin, MA. Though this store isn't as good…read moreas the Franklin one, it is so much closer for me to visit! My sister and I have gone twice since they opened a few weeks ago. I am the kind of person that likes to eat raw fish over cooked fish and do not like sugar in my tea. Food&Drinks: the BYO poké bowls are my favorite. The fish is fresh enough that it doesn't smell fishy or oceany. The toppings are all delicious and fresh. Although, I wish it were a little bit more chilled when served. The sushi rice is a bit over cooked but still okay. Drinks are great! Haven't had a bad drink yet! My go to is the Iced Matcha and the A-Oolong tea w/ cheese foam. The strawberry matcha latte and drip coffee are also yummy! Service: staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They are slightly slow but that's what happens at every new store opening. Bare with them for the first few months! Atmosphere: very clean, including bathrooms. Cute store decor. Wish the fan wasn't sitting in front of the "wanna poké?" sign...still haven't been able to get an aesthetic photo of that wall! Very inviting! Overall: I treat places that sell raw fish very seriously, knowing how bad food poisoning can be. I really like pokemoto and looseleaf tea's concept. I also believe that if you haven't had raw fish or real tea before, this would be the place to start!

There isn't much I miss about Boston/Somerville food wise, but this place is definitely one I hit…read morewhen I'm in the area. Probably the best, freshest poke I've ever had. The boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍

Solid poke spot - is it the best and freshest, no, but I've never had a bad meal here…read more All fruit teas are made with real fruit. Sometimes the fruit isn't the ripest but it's definitely fresh fruit and nothing artificial. Lots of protein options including cooked meats for those who don't want raw fish.

I appreciate a quick option for a more healthy and balanced meal (protein and veggies bowl…read morebasically) but the chicken was so weird. It was like a marshmallow, it kind of just disappeared in my mouth. It was spongy maybe? I really liked the corn it was actually flavorful and sweet and the teriyaki sauce was good. But def don't get it with a chicken, maybe try shrimp or something. Price wise it was ok, but it's one price no matter what protein you get which did make my chicken and veggies with low rice seem a lot for $15. Honestly, I probably would only come back if I was in that plaza and staving. I will comment that their process of mixing is wasteful and I did not like that. They use disposable trays to mix your food and sauce and then put it in a plastic bowl, regardless if you eat at the store or not. That's using 2 disposable single use products one each and every meal.

Food is great and well air conditioned for a hot day. The guy serving was very nice but I felt bad…read morebecause he was a little overwhelmed. Other than that, the place is a vibe!

Stopped in for lunch on a very busy day in Wegman's plaza. Arrived just before the lunch crowd…read morearrived so the place was empty. Nicely decorated and everything looked fresh and clean. I a had a "da kine" bowl and wife had a shrimp bowl. Added some toppings - sesame, tempura flakes, Both were tasty and the ingredients were fresh and crispy. Impressed w the size of the servings. Price not bad given the serving size and fresh ingredients.

Portions were surprisingly generous when I first started visiting Poke Bros at the Westwood…read morelocation shortly after it opened. At that time, the bowls felt like a great value for the price, and the quality and consistency kept me coming back. Unfortunately, over the past year, I've noticed that the portion sizes have become increasingly inconsistent from visit to visit. Most recently, on 7/29, I ordered three Build Your Own bowls. When I got home and unpacked everything, I noticed that two of the bowls appeared to contain roughly half the amount of food I would normally expect, while the third bowl looked closer to the portion size I've received in the past. What was especially disappointing was that one of the bowls included double protein, yet it still looked no larger than a standard portion. Considering the additional cost, I expected a noticeably larger serving. There was also an issue with one of the customizations. The employee preparing one of the bowls added a very large scoop of pickled ginger instead of the jalapeño slices that were selected on the order. While mistakes can happen and this alone would not have been a major concern, it was frustrating given that the order clearly listed the ingredients for each bowl. Accuracy is important, especially for customized orders where customers are paying for specific ingredients and combinations. What made the situation more disappointing was that I did not realize the issue until I arrived home. The bowl that appeared to have the most food was placed on top of the order, while the two noticeably underfilled bowls were underneath. Had I checked everything before leaving the store, I would have brought it to the staff's attention immediately. Unfortunately, by the time I discovered the problem, I was already home. In hindsight, I wish I had taken photos because the difference in portion sizes was very obvious. I want to emphasize that I have not experienced significant issues at this location before, which is why this visit stood out. I have generally enjoyed the food and service, and that is the reason I have continued to return. However, consistency is one of the most important aspects of any restaurant experience. Customers should be able to expect similar portion sizes and order accuracy every time they visit, especially when paying extra for add-ons such as double protein. Going forward, I may need to start checking my order and portion sizes before leaving the store, which is something I have never felt the need to do in the past. I hope management can address these concerns by reinforcing portion standards and providing additional training where necessary to ensure orders are prepared accurately and consistently. I would appreciate seeing improvements, as I would like to continue supporting this location.
