Make your own bowl with salad base, shrimp, crabmeat, avocado, ginger, masago, and corn. DELICIOUS!
J A.

My husband and I order carry-out from the Polaris location of Poke Bros at least once a week. It's my absolute favorite restaurant because the food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is always VERY friendly and helpful. I requested Poke Bros for Mother's Day and my birthday last year because I love their food so much! There's also a Hi Bubble T at this location! Hi Bubble T is our favorite bubble tea and my husband usually gets me a delicious smoothie. The food at Poke Bros is absolutely delicious!!! I swear there's a party in my mouth every time we order from Poke Bros! Everyone in our family has enjoyed their delicious bowls! Everything from Poke Bros is always incredibly fresh and made exactly to order! We've had nothing but smiling, helpful, friendly service whenever we've gone to Poke Bros. The prices are very affordable! If you're pescatarian you'll easily be able to find things on their menu that you're sure to enjoy. My bowls have shrimp & crab meat on a salad base. My exact order every time is always: A bowl with the salad base. There's no iceberg lettuce here! They have premium salad greens that are extremely fresh every time! I order shrimp as my protein & get crab meat as well. The shrimp is plentiful & always very fresh! The ingredients I order are: Masago Ginger Avocado Crab sticks Corn I absolutely LOVE the PONZU sauce, which pairs so well with the ginger! Toppings: Tempura flakes Other restaurants skimp on seafood. Poke Bros gives you VERY generous portions of seafood! There's also a LOT of shrimp, masago, crab sticks, and avocado! I always order a strawberry smoothie No ice, and mango popping boba! We order our Bubble T smoothies with 50% sweetness or less, it's always the perfect sweetness! My husband and kids always get one of their Signature bowls. My husband and youngest child love the spicy chicken. Our entire family recommends Poke Bros very highly! Thank you Poke Bros for always providing amazing meals every time!

The Duke

I had never heard of this place, but a gentleman that I work with mentioned it. I ordered "The Duke" with brown rice. The rice was covered with tuna, salmon, shrimp, seaweed salad, sweet onion, chopped jalapeños, edamame, cucumber, sesame seed, ponzu and gochujang. What a great mixture of flavors and textures.

Chicken poke bowl with brown rice, salad, pineapple, carrots, ginger and sesame sauce and sriracha aioli, topped with crushed cashews

Here was the first time I tried a poke bowl and absolutely relished it till the last morsel! I have visited poke brothers twice and haven't been disappointed both the times. They have made to order poke bowls that you can customize to your liking. You can choose from brown rice, salad and nachos as your base, toppings of your choice(I can never decide as there are so many options!) and protein of your choice (tofu, tuna, salmon, chicken etc) and add sauces- The sesame soy and the sriracha aioli are my favorite! These bowls are too yummy to be healthy! But they are very healthy and delicious! Highly recommend! Vegetarians- this "the" place for you! I am not a big fan of tofu but have tried their tofu poke bowl and it's really good! I will be back to try their nacho base pole bowl! Ps: Wish I could rate it more than 5 stars! :)

Is this my favorite place? Nah. But it's still delicious! My favorite is aloha poke in Chicago. I love Hawaiian restaurants. They're so simple but so instagramable. Surfs up! I debated whether to go to this location or the one downtown. I figured this place because hello parking! And hello seating! It was out of my way but more convenient for me. I decided to build my own poke bowl because in selfish and I want it my way. Kidding. They had your basic ingredients and what I don't see often actually, that every poke plce should have because that's the correct way is marinated tuna! So I had to get the marinated tuna! They put your base. I got rice. Then they put your add ins then your protein on top. Then sauces and toppings. Intriguing way of doing it. Normally the add ins are either mixed in or carefully placed surrounding the protein. But honestly, I enjoyed the day they did it. You easily get a bite of everything! I thought it was cool that they had the Korean chili sauce... so I put that on my poke though I know it was weird but I prefer a different sauce. I just wanted to see how it would taste with the poke bowl. One of my complaints is that the avocado was already precut up and all so the avocado was browning. which is unappealing but I dealt with it. I really need to try signature bowls instead of building my own sometimes.

Poke Bowls!

This is a really solid choice for fresh poke in the Polaris area. For those of you who have never had poke, think Chipotle-style deconstructed sushi. You start with a base (I typically choose white rice) and then you get to go down the line and choose your protein and toppings. There are pre-set bowls if you want to order off the menu, but it's way more fun to make your own! My favorite protein as of late is the spicy salmon. I don't always love spicy food, but the flavors here work well when complimented with the white rice and veggies. I also love the marinated tuna. When it comes to toppings, the more the better! I always pile my bowl high with various veggies and crunchy toppings like tempura, sesame seeds, and crispy onions. Be prepared to pay an uncharge for a couple toppings (ex: crab stick, seaweed salad, avocado). To me the seaweed salad is worth it and I get it every time. It's good quality and rivals a lot of the local sushi joints, in my opinion. My bowl usually ends up being around $10 and I'm happy to pay this for fresh sushi-grade fish. My only qualm with Poke Bros. is that it seems the portion sizes fluctuate greatly depending on the employee that's working. There are times that I'll get a heaping bowl of delicious fish and toppings, and then other times I feel like they're being really stingy with scooping out the goods. It's kind of a hit or miss situation. That being said, I still love this place so much that I'll definitely continue to come back!

Matcha rolled ice cream - switched out the topping for mochi
Jingwen Z.

[Edit: ice cream part seems to have been shuttered. Poke is still fine though.] This is a nice place to have in the Polaris area. It's not quite like poke or rolled ice cream places on the east or west coast - but I had two of their rolled ice creams during the specific hours that their ice cream part is open, and they tasted good. It's fairly pricey, though, and the number of toppings you can get is limited. The process of making the ice cream took a long time - perhaps the guy doing it was inexperienced? This is definitely not something I want to get addicted to - for my wallet's sake - but something I might splurge on once in a while. Would be nice if they were more generous with their toppings!

Create your own!
Rebecca M.

Really yummy and a great amount of food. I made two meals out of it. I created my own. Sushi rice, grilled shrimp, edamame, carrots, masago, seaweed salad, green onion, ginger, avocado, corn, cucumber, pineapple, tempura flakes and for sauce, coconut ginger and sriracha. I'm definitely coming back!

Custom spicy salmon bowl with lots of toppings
Trevor H.

I've been enjoying the new trend of Poke places popping up everywhere because it's one of my favorite types of fast casual meals. Poke Bros is one of the best Poke restaurants in Columbus, and it is always a top choice when I'm in the Polaris area. They have pre-built bowls, but I always customize my own. You start by selecting the base (brown rice, white rice, or salad), followed by a large number of ingredient choices. One of my favorite parts of Poke Bros is that they don't have a limit on how many ingredients can be added! The next step is the protein, and I recommend the Spicy Salmon - it adds a little more excitement to the bowl versus regular salmon. Finally, you can pick from a few sauces and other assorted toppings. The food here always tastes very fresh, the employees are helpful, and the restaurant is clean and has lots of seating. I look forward to visiting again!

Poke bowl with tuna, salmon, and varied toppings (avocado, masago, seaweed salad, tempura flakes, etc.)
Meg H.

I've been looking forward to this place opening, so my family and I visited during their grand opening weekend. The space is great looking -- blue walls with dark wood accents, long high top tables & stools and low seating as well. The staff was welcoming and explained all the ingredients and offered samples of sauces as we made decisions about our order. It is a "build your own" bowl or salad style place; you pick a base, proteins (all fresh fish or tofu), veggies, sauce, and other toppings. They also have "signature" bowls if you don't want to design your own. I loaded my bowl with sushi grade tuna and salmon (half and half), varied toppings (including seaweed salad and masago for a slight upcharge), and their standard sesame-based sauce. It was light and refreshing yet satwith a great deal of flavor; the fish definitely tasted fresh. It might be a tad pricey (if you go for the extra items like I did!), but it seems worth it given the quality. My family loved their orders as well. We'll be returning.

Menu has so many options to choose from, it caters to many types of palettes. My bevy, the Blackberry Cooler, was refreshing. My friend got the non alcoholic version and said it was too tart. Only disappointment of the night was they ran out of the brown butter cake. The banana caramel cake was still a good substitution. Plenty of parking but do recommend to make a reservation to avoid long wait times. Cant wait to come back and enjoy a happy hour.

Restaurant Week Edition…read more Eddie Merlot's continues to be the pinnacle of dining experience. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the overall atmosphere is unlike any other. We came here knowing it was Restaurant Week. It was $60 for an app, main entree, and dessert. This is an extremely underrated deal! I started with the caesar. It was delicious. We also ordered calamari and fries for the table. They were devoured! The main entree had an option of a 6 oz. filet. I upgraded to an 8 oz for a $12 upcharge along with the bacon Gorgonzola topping. Chef's kiss. I'm still thinking about it. I finished with the carrot cake. I left full and happy. Shout out to our server, Chad. He was a hoot! Extremely friendly and had a lot of great recommendations. When we come back, we hope we get sat in his section again!

The potstickers and shrimp cocktail were delicious appetizers, and the grilled romaine salad accompanied those perfectly. My filet was much closer to medium well than medium rare but still tasted great. My coworkers tried the ribeye and Cajun grill with great reviews from both. The lobster Mac was ok, I found it to be flat and not too flavorful, but others enjoyed. The grilled asparagus and Brussels were much more to my taste. Desert was a giant slice of carrot cake to share, and we still left over half behind. It's huge, and delightful. The cream cheese frosting was to die for. We had Angels Envy espresso martinis with it, and those were tasty. Wine selection was good, service amazing, and would overall return again if in the area.

The seafood pasta was clearly fresh, not frozen so that's always a bonus.

The Polaris location is large and has a decent patio. The bar/lounge area is pretty big too, that's where we were sat when we came in for a weekend meal. Started with drinks and some apps. The cocktails were small and kind of meh. They only had 2 drafts, Stella & Peroni. I like both but it was strange that they had no other selections. The worst part was by far the food. Arancini - 6/10, nice crispy texture but the taste was a bit unexpected, like the added a bit too much Gorgonzola. Calamari - 7/10, a bit chewy but with a nice crisp, missing something fresh. Beef carpaccio - 2/10, Marcella's used to have an absolutely delicious carpaccio... this was a bit of an abomination. Beef slices too thick, crispy flatbread that broke up when I looked at it wrong, a white sauce on top that made the whole dish worse. Absolutely do not recommend. Dinner was a few pizzas 2/10 (read: precooked flatbreads with subpar toppings). The crispy potato "pizza" needs to be taken off the menu. Garlic sauce, cheese and these awful, overcooked potato chips. It was inedible - all 5 people at the table tried it but put their slice down after the first or second bite. Pizza Margherita DOC was a very salty, tomatoey thing. I think the grocery store version would be a better choice. We also shared the Pepperoni Sausage with mushrooms which was better, but it was undercooked and watery. Our friends got the Carbonara Pasta and said it was ok, but did not want to take their leftovers home. I don't get the hype or appeal of Marcella's whatsoever. Our server was fine, the food was terrible, ambiance is meh. Will not return.

I came here on a cold March evening with my colleagues for a team dinner after a two-day conference. My co-worker was kind enough to tell the restaurant we were celebrating my birthday, so they had decorated our table with some cute birthday confetti and had a card for me. Such a nice touch! I wish I had thought to take pics, but I was so exhausted. Now, on to the food! We got calamari for the table as a starter. It was sprinkled with feta, which I enjoyed. It was cooked nicely and had great flavor. Oddly, we got served butter and sour cream instead of the black pepper aioli and voodoo sauce that was supposed to come with it. Thankfully, they realized it and brought us the right sauces. For my main, I got the Blackened Seared Scallops, a really unique dish that came topped with pork belly and served on creamed corn with tomato jam and bourbon syrup. This leaned to the sweet side but the smoky flavor of the pork belly gave great balance to the delicate scallops and the sweetness. And that bourbon syrup was addictive. I cleaned my plate! I would definitely recommend this dish if you like a sweet/savory combo. None of us ordered drinks or dessert on this go-around, but the manager stopped by to chat with us. Again, really nice touch. One slightly worrying thing: one of my colleagues is allergic to mushrooms. He ordered something that didn't mention mushrooms on the menu, but it was on the plate. Thankfully he noticed it before he started eating and they remade it for him without mushrooms. So if you have food allergies, be sure to ask questions because it may include an ingredient the menu doesn't mention. That said, our servers were wonderful and it was an overall pleasant experience.
