FULLY LOADED At…read moreNaperville's Poke Bros, your order can be as simple and straightforward as you like, or absolutely loaded with extras. When my wife and I are craving sushi but don't want traditional maki rolls, we'll pickup carryout from this place on Route 59 & Hassert in Naperville. Poke Bros is near a Melting Pot fondue joint and a Warhammer nerd rendezvous (sorry, it's the truth). I'd venture a guess we order poke bowls once a month or so, that's how much we enjoy them. I usually get a custom poke bowl with spicy tuna ($11.50), but you can also get regular ahi or marinated tuna. Preset choices include "the Hula" ($12) with shrimp & crab stick, or the "Johnny Utah" ($12.50) with salmon & avocado. I *have to* believe the owners of Poke Bros were fans of the 1991 action movie Point Break, as Keanu Reeves' character is named....Johnny Utah. There's no other explanation, or Google result! If you're feeling bold, you can opt for squid salad in a poke bowl. For those not interested in sea creatures, there's an option for chicken ($10). They even offer kids bowls ($7), which is the exact same thing albeit a smaller portion. Miso soup is available for $3. When making your own poke bowl, you first select a base (sushi rice, brown rice, or salad), then pick a protein, main ingredients (corn, tofu, ginger, carrots, pineapple, edamame, cucumber, scallion, sweet onion, jalapeno), sauce (ponzu, gochujang, wasabi aioli, coconut ginger, sweet chili), and toppings (sesame seeds, crunchy onion, wonton chips, tempura flakes, crushed cashews). You can add mango, avocado, seaweed salad, or fish roe for $1 extra. Their listing of mochi (Japanese ice cream) gets longer every time we visit. You can get 2 for $4, or 3 for $5.50. I've counted over TWENTY flavors so far: vanilla choc chip, red bean, strawberry, espresso, salted caramel, purple ube, coconut, earl grey, passion fruit, belgian chocolate, lychee, green tea, mango, black sesame, hazelnut, cake batter, banana pudding, açaí, and something called 'hojica'. That's a hell of a selection! * TL;DR * When the mood strikes us, Poke Bros has been a reliable choice. As much as we love these guys, I'd put them a tick below the Bolingbrook Poke Bros (on Boughton near I-355). That location has slightly nicer folks and gives "frequent eater" stamps towards a free poke bowl after 10 purchases. This one doesn't offer that perk, and most of the time the staff just hands over my bag of fish without any pleasantries. Come for the customizable poke bowls, stay for the impressive (and delicious) assortment of mochi. We'll be back.

Select named meals have a standardized number of items, which you can mix up. I usually get the Johnny Utah meal with salmon. Since the Meatheads closed next door plenty of parking right in front.

They use a Square payment terminal so convenient tap to pay, and no pressure to tip.

Less good: "mixed greens" are mostly iceberg lettuce, which is tasteless and worthless. Napa cabbage would be a better choice for those of us avoiding carbohydrates. There were no other options so I asked for as little iceberg as possible and he sort of tried, but grudgingly. First visit, counter dudes were super friendly and helpful. Last time, not friendly at all, no greeting, no thank you. Was going to sit & eat some because I was hungry but I didn't feel welcome so I went home. If there's a next time, I'll just get to go but I'm not sure there will be a next time. I do love poke though....

Owners do not make you feel welcomed...happened twice now…read more I apologized to my wife after recommending this place as she quickly realized the food is great, but the exceedingly poor attitude of the Owner(s) was simply too difficult to swallow. Body language of the two Owners speak louder than words... This evening I walked in there alone at 8:35 PM and they were not happy, as one of them was mopping the floor while the other was putting trays away. They close at 9 PM. The air was thick with tension, as if I was a huge bother. Simply a terrible experience for the customer. And just like multiple times before, I needed to repeat my order two or three times when ordering just two Poke dishes, as the memory of the highly depressed individual working there is beyond poor. He apparently does not believe in quality service or that we are worthy of anything better. If you are not happy in your work, please do us a favor and find happiness doing something else. You are not the only Poke place in the area.

YOU CAN TUNA POKE (BUT YOU CAN'T TUNA PIANO)…read more The fishy hits just keep on coming at Poke Bros. On nights when my wife and I want something fresh and flavorful but aren't feeling sushi per se, we'll grab a poke bowl.  This location is the fourth one we've ordered pickup from, and though it's fine overall, Romeoville isn't the best of the bunch. Unless you opt for chicken ($11.25), bowls start at $12.75 for salmon/tuna/shrimp/squid salad and you can choose between regular or spicy proteins.  Of note is that Romeoville's prices are $0.75 MORE than any other location in the Chicago suburbs.  I have zero idea as to why. There's lots of ingredients & toppings to pick from (although not as many as Poke Burrito....just saying), including carrots, corn, cucumber, edamame, ginger, green onion, jalapeno, pineapple and tofu.  Avocado, seaweed salad, crab stick, and masago are a $1 upcharge. I'm bummed they wiped miso soup from the menu.  We would always get that along with our poke bowl, and suddenly it vanished without warning.  Poke Burrito, on the other hand, still has miso on the menu, along with ramen, gyoza, bulgogi, spring rolls, and bubble tea. Poke Bros' assortment of mochi (ice cream wrapped in rice dough) is substantial.  Each location has slightly different offerings, with most sharing at least 5-6 flavors.  You can get 2 for $4 or 3 for $5.50; I recommend espresso, toasted coconut, salted caramel, passion fruit, and cake batter. FYI, the Poke Bros mobile app is utterly useless--it does nothing, has no rewards system or any incentive to use it, really.  It exists merely to take up space on your phone.  If you have an internet connection, just order from their damn website. * TL;DR * I'm surprised the Romeoville Poke Bros charges higher prices than any others in the area (that seems distinctly Napervillian). So is an extra 75¢ the end of the world?  Heck no.  Does it bother me enough to go back to the Poke Bros on Route 59?  Perhaps, but what bothers me more is that miso soup is no longer available, not to mention the competition has better ingredients & sides to pick from. Poke Bros has tasty customizable rice bowls, a great variety of mochi, and a worthless app.

We dined at Wu's Ramen and Poke this week. We arrived between lunch and dinner so the restaurant…read morewas empty. We were immediately greeted by staff and taken to a nearby booth. The menu is as expected with ramen and poke bowl options. Each starting around $16.99 - includes a certain amount of add-ons before charging up-charge pricing for tofu, and other options. The kids ordered the tonsuku ramen with pork, and we ordered poke bowls. You can pick 5 toppings and I chose all the free ones (seaweed salad, cucumber, ginger, corn, and edamame). The food came out in deep bowls and kids dug right in - they took out most of the added toppings but the portion size was good. Lots of noodles, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, gooey egg, etc. Overall a very filling meal but not the best ramen or poke bowl I've ever had. I wish you didn't have to pay extra for the toppings.

When they first opened, they were super generous and upbeat when building your bowl. I think over time it became too much with people asking to add more and more, because she didn't really encourage and kept a stoic look. So I didn't press. The bowls priced here are comparable to other local places... $14-$16. They have burritos and those are $15+. The appetizers are like $7+, so it's a little more expensive than fast food, but I would argue that it's much healthier and worth the added cost. They also have a punch card, so buy 10 bowls and get the 11th free. This time, my wife and I both got a spicy salmon bowl and it was great as usual. We will be back.

You order at the counter and you either pick up your food or it will be delivered. The restaurant is very clean, has wooden booths and tables. They also have a cart with games and slso sketchbooks at each table. My husband and I started out sharing the takoyaki, which are octopus balls. My son introduced me to this dish and I am obsessed with it so I was happy to see it on the menu. They didn't disappoint. My husband had a Mongolian udon bowl and I had a poke bowl. Both of us customized our bowls and chose what we wanted in them. I like that we are able to do that. I also had a taro milk tea with tapioca pearls made with almond milk. Everything was delicious and fresh. We'll definitely be going back here again.

AS GOOD AS GOLD The…read moremagical broth at this ramen spot in Bolingbrook is 24K of richness. Gung Ho operates on the northwest corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, next to ALDI and a nail salon. Over the years, we've only had carryout/delivery so I can't comment on the dine-in experience....though I have seen a shelf with various card games on it I'd love to take advantage of. Staff are friendly and orders have always been ready on time. My wife usually gets the Shoyu ramen ($15 w/sliced seaweed, garlic oil, spinach) and I always get the miso ramen ($15), a traditional broth with choice of protein, soft boiled egg, green onion, corn, and bamboo shoots. I devoured everything except the bamboo, 'cause I'm not a panda. The pork chashu (braised pork belly) is some of the BEST I've ever had, marvelously fatty with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. If you're feeling extra hungry (or are really into anime), you can order the Goku ramen bowl ($22) which includes chashu, shrimp, grilled chicken and fried chicken. Maybe eating it makes you go Super Saiyan?? Their ramen has 4 options for spiciness: a 'little' spice, spicy, spicy ++, or a 'spice bomb' on the side. I've ordered normal spicy and it's been perfect every time; I'm worried anything hotter would work against the delicious flavor profile of the broth, which I do not want to mess with. Gyoza (6 for $8) are tasty, especially when dipped in the garlic ginger-soy sauce. Crab Rangoon (6 for $7.50) come with a sweet peach sauce, another great choice for appetizer. If you're not feeling ramen, Gung Ho also has poke bowls ($13), Mongolian stir fry, and a teriyaki bento box ($14). My wife loves their coconut milk tea ($6), and she insists on getting one every visit. I've tried the banana milk tea and the Thai iced tea, both were tasty. You can add tapioca pearls, popping boba, or fruit jelly (lychee, mango, strawberry) at no extra charge. They also have an "avocado milk crush", whatever the heck that is. * TL;DR * Tanaka Ramen in eastern Bolingbrook was our go-to for several years, but I think Gung Ho edges them out in terms of quality. The miso ramen is an umami explosion and the milk teas are great. Prices are fair with an interior that encourages hanging out (sketch pads and board games provided). Gung Ho offers good vibes and some of the best ramen in the area, I highly recommend them!
