Poke bowl
Andrew S.

Quaint place hidden in a strip mall, which either means it is horrible or it is a hidden gem. This place is the hidden gem variety; friendly service and really good food. I tried the poke bowl and the ingredients were fresh and tasty.

A Chinese friend recommended this place, and I'm glad I gave it a try! On my first visit, I had a spicy rice noodle soup ( with pork intestines)--nothing too spicy, but the broth had an authentic flavor that reminded me of home. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. If you can't accept eating organs, you might choose regular beef or the veggie one. I came back for a second visit and tried the noodles, which I enjoyed even more--definitely a 9 out of 10! The restaurant is usually quiet, might be because I went outside of regular meal times. If you're looking for Chinese-style authentic rice noodle soup or noodles, I'd recommend giving this spot a try. (When ordering rice noodle soup, make sure it's w/ or w/o soup) The staff are friendly, service is quick, and if you like heat, don't forget to ask for extra chili sauce--it packs a punch!

The poke express add the Yunnan rice noodles soup and Chinese BBQ. We revisited their restaurant for their added menu. We are welcome for additional choices for the customers. We start with the Chinese BBQ with lamb and intestines skews. Those are good spice marinated and rich in taste. The meat provides in the skewers has good quantities. It is very positive. The second appetizer is the 5 spice chicken nuggets. Those are really good too. The main dish is the chili chicken with rice. This dish is ok. I prefer they fried the chicken and stir fry with chili sauce. Unfortunately, is just a regular stir fry. The last dish is Yunnan fatty beef noodles soup. It was delicious to include duck blood jello. Very rare that other restaurants serve that.

Love their noodle and soup, the tomato one taste amazing!!!! I could drink the whole thing! Love everything they added inside the soup I wish I can come back and get it again!!! The lady was super nice and helpful!

I found a Groupon offer for 5% cashback which attracted me to Poke Express! Upon arriving, the parking lot is spacious. From looking at the exterior of the shop, I was a little skeptical - but I decided to trust my fellow Yelpers as the reviews were quite positive overall. My family and I stepped into the restaurant and were immediately greeted. They asked us if we knew what we wanted and when we expressed that we were unsure, they offered us some menus and told us we could sit down to have a look and decide. We ended up ordering their hibachi chicken noodles (portion was amazing for the price), a regular sized build-your-own (comes with 2 scoops of protein, you can choose 2 different ones from their selection) and a large size build-your-own (comes with 3 choices of protein, $10.99). If you're looking for a place with aesthetic-looking poke bowls, this might not be the place; however, they have really cute decor (like these angel wings) for you to take you pictures if you wish. More importantly, the ingredients tasted fresh (e.g. I could see behind the counter that they had fresh avocados ready to be cut and served). I tried the spicy salmon and spicy tuna for my bowl - fish was fresh and tasty as well! I must also add that I really enjoyed the crab salad, seaweed salad, and spicy mayo that I added to my bowl. Bonus: if you check-in on Yelp, you get a free soda! A highlight was definitely the service! Such friendly staff, polite as well. I'm from out of town but I'd definitely visit again.

Poke bowl- fantastic

I really love the Poke bowls here and I love that they are now on Uber Eats! We have enjoyed the make your own Poke bowls (our favorite) and the Hibachi chicken and steak (just ok, in my opinion). The Poke is the star of the show here and I would recommend you making your own! We will definitely be back to the restaurant and would order again through Uber Eats. Great experience.

Hands down the best Poke Bowl I've had in Tampa so far. Why does this side of town have all the flavor! I drive out here to eat all the time. Damn USF kids get everything! :) I just really like poke on its own with out rice and all the extras...the way I've Eten it all my life. However the new poke bowl craze has taken over and I feel that these bowls are made the right way. The sauces complement the fish which is the most important component of poke. I was thrilled to get fresh tuna, baby octopus and black rice in my poke bowl here. I don't think I've seen all the toppings you can get here anywhere else. That alone makes Poke Express unique and worth a drive to Fowler.

Large custom burrito and clear soup ... I prefer the miso this tasted "clear" lol

Always good quick service and tasty bowls and Burritos - filling ... reasonable prices

Loaded poke bowl!
Zain K.

Great poke, served up by some very friendly people. The two-protein bowl ($9) was a little smaller than I'm used to, but it was still plenty for lunch. They don't have a lot of protein options here, but the variety of mix-ins and toppings makes up for it, including a couple of rare items like red cabbage and pickled bamboo shoots. I tried the spicy poke sauce, and it was great (thankfully; sometimes I have a hard time picking sauces). The bowl came with miso soup (always a nice addition, but seldom offered), and Yelp check-in got me a free drink, so all-in-all it was a very reasonably priced and satisfying meal.

Love love love this place way better than the other poke spot 10 minutes down the road. The service was excellent and super helpful and the signs for what was what were so easy to follow. My poke bowl had tons of toppings and I loved all of the textures and flavors. I had the shrimp, salmon, and tempura shrimp. Some of my fave toppings are the seaweed salad, crab salad, edamame, mango, and pineapple. They had fun crunchy options and I loved crunchy garlic, toasted seaweed, and wonton strips. I loved the spicy poke sauce and the wasabi mango. This place had the most options and the price of my bowl was way cheaper than other places. I also checked in a got a free drink. What also makes this place even better is they have food for my non poke bowl eating hubby. Their hibachi noodle chicken had GREAT flavor and was a good amount of chicken and veggies with noodles. Win Win!!!

I've only gotten this to go so I'll try to be as fair as possible. The poke was just okay and not truly memorable if I'm being honest.

Love this place. Always fresh and large portions…read more Ultimate and California roll are the go to for us!

I have heard so many great things about this place from my coworkers and was thrilled to finally…read moreget to try it. I can honestly say this was the best poke bowl I have ever had. Upon entering the restaurant it is quick service but the restaurant itself is very nice and well decorated. Not your standard bright white, plain poke restaurant. All of the ingredients are very fresh. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu in a good way. They have so many amazing options. While we came for the poke, they also have a açaí bowl bar, hot food and even Boba. It was so hard deciding what to get because everything looked and sounded so fresh and amazing. I settled on the first and most popular menu item The Ultimate Poke Sushi Bowl. Everything included sounded delicious. I did sub the carrots for ginger and added mango. The price is only $14.99 which is amazing cause other poke restaurants charge more. What makes it even more impressing is the whopping amount of food they give you. They are not stingy on the portions by any means. In fact I had so much leftover I got to have two great meals out of it. I didn't get boba as it was late and I was just excited for dinner but I did get a fountain drink. They have stubborn soda which I love. It's made with cane sugar. The employee working was very kind. I do not live near our office but I look forward to coming back when I visit our office again or if I'm near by visiting. Excellent food.
