    two poke bowls
    Haley S.

    This is my favorite place to eat! If you see any bad reviews, I bet money that it is because people are unsure of what to try. Do not order the premade bowls (my opinion), but go ahead and order your own. In the bowl in my photo, on the right side, I got 3 different sauces (extra sauce), white rice, salmon, avocado, mango, crab, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, and ginger. Their ingredients are SO FRESH! Please, do not give up on finding your "perfect" combination. The staff could be a little friendlier, their restaurant is a little plain, and they're a little expensive. REGARDLESS of these flaws, the food absolutely outshines any criticism.

    Da Kine bowl (no sweet onion) on white rice
    Erica P.

    I really wanted to love this place, and I did love part of it! Portions are sizable and the topping choices are fresh and plentiful. My biggest issue, unfortunately, was the fish. I got the Da Kine bowl, which has masago and Ahi tuna as its proteins. The masago was totally fine, but the tuna was just lumps of previously-frozen and flavorless fish :( Maybe it was a bad fish day, or maybe this is the norm, I'm not sure. The rest of the bowl was AWESOME and I loved that the seaweed salad wasn't overly oily. I might visit here again to try the crab options, but it won't be a regular place for me.

    Interior is bright and airy

    Fresh, healthy, delicious and fast!! My biggest concern when eating sushi is probably everyone's - can I trust it's fresh? The tuna I had in my bowl was both fresh and extremely generously portioned- the bowl I received was a huge value for $12.50 compared to sushi restaurant prices where you get much less also. It felt like the roughly the equivalent of two sushi rolls, seaweed salad and edamame portion at a sushi restaurant. So if you are looking to eat sushi at lunch or just on a budget check this place out!!! Also, the menus when you walk in have free coupons you can use on the back! If you are new to poke bowl places like me let the menu guide you. I can vouch the De Kine bowl I ordered was delicious!!!You can add or delete any ingredients because they have an assembly line of fillings and create your bowl fresh (think cava or chipotle). The service is extremely fast due to the restaurant model, and the staff are great about accommodating your bowl requests. I love that they don't charge more for healthy options like brown rice too!

    Very happy with the quality and amount of fish they put in their poke bowls compared to other places in the Triangle. I think they could step up the flavors in their sauces, but otherwise I'm very happy with this place and I drive pretty far out of my way to get there!

    I LOVE POKE BROS. I'm native to the Nashville location but this one still held up which is great (what a consistent franchise!) but the ambiance here is not as good as the Nashville one

    First Bowl!

    I was the FIRST customer at the first location of Poke Bros in Raleigh. I am a huge Poke fan, and was thrilled that there was going to be a new option in the area. I had been checking out the menu since it was announced Poke Bros was coming to Brier Creek. They opened today with a less than exciting or celebratory Grand Opening. This was their opportunity to welcome new customers and show their excitement for their restaurant. I am hoping the team was just nervous, but I really hope they are more engaging next time. I ordered a similar bowl to what I order at various Poke restaurants. For my base, I chose brown rice. They don't offer different sizes. The bowls are priced based on the protein; you can order half and half for an up-charge or additional protein for $3. They charge extra for seaweed salad and masago where most other restaurants don't. They don't have a ton of sauce options, but they aren't bad. They also have a few options for toppings. Maybe I have been spoiled by other restaurants that have more options. My spicy tuna bowl seemed a bit small (most restaurants have 2-3 scoops, but I only received 1), and the tuna didn't taste wonderful. My bowl from other restaurants is usually full but there was plenty of room in my bowl. Otherwise, the food was fine. I realize it is day 1, so I will undoubtedly give them another shot after some time. I really hope my next review is much better. Poke is such an enjoyable meal for me.

    Decided to stop in for a late-ish dinner (8:30pm) last week because my boyfriend was craving poke bowls and he INSISTED that's what we get. Typically, Zenfish is my go to poke place in the Triangle, but it was too far and we couldn't have made it in time before they closed. So after scrolling through Yelp, looking at the poke bars near us in Raleigh, Poke Bros seemed to be our best bet because they were opened the latest and had more/higher reviews than the others. First off, it seems that they are taking covid safety very seriously here. There was hand sanitizer provided, staff wearing masks + gloves, plenty of space to social distance, and a shield separating the employees and consumers. One of the first things I noticed was that the menu and pricing isn't very clearly laid out. As I was ordering, I was a little confused by the layout of the proteins and toppings. The squid and crab salads are kept with the toppings but you get charged for them as proteins when you order. Also, I didn't realize that seaweed salad and crab salad were $1.00 upcharges either. Seaweed salad is one of my favorite poke bowl toppings so I was a little sad to see the unexpected charge on the receipt. This all may be my fault for walking into a restaurant blindly without studying the menu beforehand, but it wasn't the best experience. Our total came out to nearly $30 for 2 average sized poke bowls. This seemed a little expensive to me compared to poke bowls I get at other restaurants but the quality was good and I didn't have any complaints about the flavors or freshness. I just wish they were either a little cheaper or bigger/had more scoops of protein. Overall, Poke Bros is decent but not my favorite poke bar by a long shot. I would come back again, but for the price, you can find better if you are willing to drive a little farther or order a little earlier than we decided to do.

    1. Johnny Utah Bowl
    Shannon W.

    Pretty delicious! I got the salmon based Johnny Utah bowl (salmon) and my partner got the Da Kine bowl (tuna). I love how the sauce doesn't overpower the bowls and everything is in proportion. I got half sushi rice and half salad and the salad still managed to taste crisp! The fish was marinated well, although I do wish the portions for it were bigger. I originally thought the sweet onion would be more pickled in the Da Kine bowl, but it's more on the raw end similar to a typical salad. Lastly, I love the unlimited options for the crispy toppings- more poke places needed crispy fried onions as a topping, it just elevates everything!!

    Duke yumminess!
    Taurian D.

    Fresh and taste absolutely amazing. I got the Duke and I enjoyed it very much. You can make it spicy if you like., i'm craving it now as i'm writing this.

    Five stars, no hesitation…read more I heard about Sono Sushi through Resy and finally made it in. It's located in downtown Raleigh on Fayetteville Street, right next to the ABC 11 studios, easy to find and a great spot if you're already downtown. The ambiance is great and fits the food well. There's a nice mix of seating, tables along the windows looking out onto the street, high top tables, traditional dining tables, and a sushi bar if you want to sit up close and watch everything being made. It feels lively without being loud, and works well whether you're there for a date night or a more casual meal. We started with the Aburi appetizer, torched salmon belly, ooba, salmon roe, Japanese seabream, yuzu kosho, and ponzu, and it was outstanding. Everything worked together perfectly, rich, bright, and balanced. I also ordered ikura and ebi, even though I meant to order ama ebi, but no regrets there. Still excellent. We shared the Poke Roll with wakame, avocado, cucumber, mango, tuna, salmon, hamachi, and Sono poke sauce, and it was very good, fresh, flavorful, and well composed without being overdone. My wife ordered the spicy miso ramen and loved it. The broth was the star, deep and comforting, and the pork chashu pieces were massive, in a good way. I went with the chicken katsu curry, panko fried chicken thigh with house curry and koshihikari rice, something I haven't had since Little Tokyo in LA a few years ago, and it tasted like home. Comforting, familiar, and exactly what I was hoping for. For drinks, I ordered the "SONO? SO-YES!" entirely because of the name, but also because I love blood orange. Casamigos Blanco tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and blood orange juice, it was excellent. My only complaint is that I wanted more of it. My wife got the Okinawa Spritz, a play on an Aperol spritz with passionfruit, and it was even better than the original. We finished with the yuzu cheesecake. I debated between that and the ube cheesecake, but since this is a Japanese restaurant, yuzu felt right, and it absolutely delivered. Overall, everything from the food to the drinks hit. This is a place I would happily return to, and honestly, I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

The Umi Kazan was my favorite with the shredded crab on top. I liked the assortment of options and how you could customize if you wanted. Also ordered a Malbec wine- quite good. Our waiter was very accommodating, just slammed for the dinner rush. I'd definitely return! The neon koi fish and paper umbrellas were stunning.

Walking in, it seemed kind of small, and we figured we'd have a few options. But looks were deceiving, with only a small frontage on the street, it's very deep, housing easily 20 or more restaurants. They offered the best variety of food ethnicities I've ever seen in one place. Restaurant options offered included a pizza shop, a deli, Italian, Mediterranean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, burgers, a southern kitchen, a restaurant of just French fry options, and so much more. Wanting something sweet, they had ice cream, dessert crepe.....SO MANY OPTIONS. The variety was fantastic, and there was plenty of seating, both inside, and out. Staff were regularly, cleaning tables as people left, and bathrooms were well maintained.....the only downside, is you've got to decide where you're going to eat. I'd 100% return to this spot, such great variety, reasonable pricing and convenience.

    Morgan Street Food Hall is a large, multi-vendor dining and social space in downtown Raleigh's…read moreWarehouse District. According to Visit Raleigh, it occupies a repurposed, approximately 22,000-square-foot warehouse that was retrofitted into a communal food hall concept and opened in 2018. I used to work at One Glenwood and frequented it often. I returned again in late December to try Curry in a Hurry, one of the many vendors operating in the hall. The food hall features more than 20 distinct culinary concepts, ranging from casual eats to dessert vendors. Full-service kitchens, snack stalls, and beverage counters all operate under one roof, offering plenty of variety for nearly any craving. Some of the vendors I've ordered from include: Curry in a Hurry - Indian cuisine with bold, flavorful curries. The Chicken Kati Roll is Indian street food at its finest. Opa! - A little taste of Greece. My favorite order is the spanakopita (spinach pastry platter) paired with a Greek salad. Gym Tacos - Vibrant flavors inspired by Mexican street food. Iyla's Southern Kitchen - Authentic Southern comfort food. The Chicken and Waffles sandwich is especially good. In addition, there are many other stalls offering burgers, tacos, sushi burritos, other Mediterranean dishes, seafood, empanadas, desserts, and more. Beyond food, the hall includes two notable bars: The Arbor, which serves beer, wine, and cocktails, and Aunty Betty's, a cozy, gin-focused bar that adds to the venue's nightlife appeal. Morgan Street Food Hall is family-friendly, chic, and dynamic. With varied menus and multiple seating formats, it attracts a broad mix of locals, visitors, nearby office workers, and families. Inside, communal picnic-style tables encourage a lively, social atmosphere, while a large outdoor patio with string lighting creates a vibrant setting. There are also lounge areas indoors that feel more like a relaxed living room. The space works well for groups, families, date nights, casual meetups, and even takeout. It does get very crowded during peak periods, so it's best to plan ahead if you want to secure seating. When visiting with a group, you may need to stagger food orders to hold a spot. The location is within walking distance of downtown offices, residential developments, and other nightlife and dining venues, which helps explain its popularity. When I worked at One Glenwood, it was an easy walk. If you're not within walking distance, parking can be the main drawback. Street parking nearby is reasonably priced if you can find it, while surrounding lots tend to be more expensive. Even though I no longer work nearby, I still enjoy visiting Morgan Street Food Hall--even when it means paying for parking.

No body really liked the dishes here. Service: our server was very kind and tried his best to accommodate us. Great ambience but I don't see any of us coming back here for food.
