Delicious place for fresh poke! Some may mention it's a little pricey, but I say it's 100% worth it for fresh poke. Food: 5/5 I am a frequent customer of this poke restaurant! They are very dependable when it comes to getting fresh tuna poke, which is something I can't say about the other poke places I've been to in my general area. They also have generous portion sizes compared to other places. Good topping and sauce variety, and the bowl doesn't feel like it's filled with just rice! Service: 5/5 the same lady always serves me here and she is very efficient! Never had issues with service here. Ambiance: Small, typically a takeout location with a few 4-person tables available for seating. Clean place, no music. read more

I recently visited Poke Fresh, located near a residential area. We arrived around 7 p.m. on a Saturday. The place was surprisingly empty. Since we had to detour here, we decided to try it. You order and pay at the counter; there are a few tables if you want to eat there. My niece ordered the Spicy Hawaiian. It was a good portion, and she said it tasted good. I ordered a regular bowl with two proteins and house sauce. The salmon, tuna, and toppings seemed fresh, but unfortunately, the house sauce was bland and didn't add much flavor to the dish. I also asked for brown rice, but it tasted hard and crunchy--it seemed undercooked. We also ordered bubble tea, which was good and complemented the meal nicely. The lady at the counter was friendly, and the place itself was clean, though on the smaller side. While the quality of the ingredients was good, the house sauce could use some improvement, and the brown rice should be cooked longer. read more

This place has delicious, fresh poke bowls. I got a bowl with salmon, eel, greens, mangos, cucumber and avocado, topped with wasabi peas and wasabi yuzu sauce. I like how you can customize and build your own bowls. You order at the counter, and there are plenty of seating or you can take it to go. I'll be back again for this quick, and healthy lunch. read more

We love Poke Fresh so much! Everything is always so good and the ingredients are always extremely fresh, lives up to its name :)

We went for dinner on a weekend and it was completely empty. We both got a poke bowl and it was delicious and filled with tons of toppings! The seaweed salad was my fave! We were shocked not more people were there. read more

Such kind & friendly staff. Highly recommend stopping by & trying their good. Everything smelled delicious.

I don't know if they still do this because it's a been a while since I've been here but they pack your bowl with regular mushy rice. OMG it's called seasoned rice vinegar. Add it to your rice to make it actual sushi style rice. It costs pennies. Of all the ways to cost cut, this isn't it. In fact, maybe add less rice. A lot less rice. And use those cost savings for rice vinegar. Because it's the point where you can't taste any of the other ingredients. Take this advice and your business will improve. Seriously. read more

Coming from Los Angeles, I've had my fair share of poke. This is how I would rate the poke at Poke Fresh: I had a large salmon and ahi tuna bowl. The base was half white rice and mixed greens. Other toppings I asked for were the marinated sea weed, diced cucumber, avocado, ginger, and pickled radish. The sauce I asked for was spicy mayo which I found to lack a strong, distinct flavor. Overall, it was okay, good, but not life changing. I wish they had marinated the cucumber and not added iceberg lettuce to the mixed greens. I still give it four stars for their generous amounts of protein and toppings. But was it worth $22? That's a question you can only answer for yourself. The restaurant itself looks new and is very clean. The service was immediate. Not a bad experience. read more

Delish! Was in Elliot City and was looking to grab a bite around mid day. Saw this place, tried it, loved it! The bowl probably weighed 7 lbs. Everything was very fresh. Great Poke Bowl! read more

It's a decent place for poke bowl. All the portions are so tiny though and quite expensive for the amount of protein. There's not a sign where it says unlimited toppings or just being able to get a few more scoops of things you want so I wasn't sure and didn't want to be charged more but I've been to other places that did it that way and made the experience much better for me. For a regular it's $15 and i had another person with me so our total was $30! I finished my meal and wasn't super satisfied but all the sauces and food tasted fresh. Service was fine and restaurant was clean. There's plenty of parking as well and easy to find. read more

Great new place in Elkridge! Poke bowls are so popular right now it was about time Howard County got one of its own. It's set up Chipotle style and you can make your own bowl or get a bowl they have dreamed up. You can chose two proteins from their selection for a regular bowl and the selections all looked delicious. I had eel and spicy tuna. You can also select your toppings, sauce and rice/greens. There's not a ton of seating in the shop but it looks like most people got theirs to go. read more

My first Poke Fresh experience was very good. Everything is fresh, the sauce that they have is all homemade and they have a great taste. I got the small bowl with tofu for my protein and it was very filling. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be visiting this place again soon. read more

Super easy to order online and then just pop inside to pickup and pay when you arrive. This is located at the end of a long line of shops of a highway. I thought my Poké bowl was good-though was expecting the carrots to be pickled (I checked back and it didn't say pickled on the menu). The regular bowl was more than enough for a healthy lunch. My husband got the crazy Poké burrito and enjoyed it. We both got different bubble teas and thought they were good. read more

I do like there is poke close by and they have lots of toppings to choose from. I did order from them twice and both times they added the wrong topping and gave white rice instead of brown which was a disappointment. But if craving poke then will definitely order from here again. You have to order online and go in to pick it up. read more

Shrimp tempura was to soggy left a bad test in my mouth And for the price of 22 dollars is not worth it at all 2 dollars more for some special add on tbh didn't have a good experience with the lady couldn't understand her going to stick to the one near me read more

This is my first poke fresh experience in Maryland. It's set up Chipotle style. I eat poke bowls often in my travels. They use a spoon rather than a 1/4c scoop for their portions. I'm not a fan of that. I got the large bowl. They are not only a little skimpy on their portions (mind you, heavy handed with the rice), but same with their sauces. The crab salad is usually crab salad. Here it's just the imitation crab meat sans the dressing. They need to cut the tip of the squeeze bottles they use because hardly any comes out when they squeeze and they barely put any on. The bowl is dry. I like to get cilantro as an option and on occasion, diced cream cheese. They offer neither here. There is not hit tea or thai tea option just cold drinks from the fridge display. I am told that Wegman's offers their own bowl. I will have to try that and see if it's comparable to what I'm used to in New York. This place is decent for a poke novice but if you are used to this dish, you'll have plenty of critiques. The restaurant has just me in it so if they care to have patrons they will need to step their game up and expand their menu some... or be open to Uber eats/grubhub once their up their standard. read more

I love Hilo over at R. House, but Poke Fresh was a nice and comparable alternative, for sure. The ingredients behind the counter all looked super fresh and were contained/ covered in a way that looked about a million times more sanitary than y'alls favorite taco and burrito bowl chain. I built my own poke bowl for $11 with spicy tuna, salmon, brown rice, seaweed salad, mixed greens, edamame, cucumbers, onions, sesame seeds, avocado, and house ginger sauce. My only complaint was i could have done without the iceberg lettuce in my mixed greens. Everything else was just perfect, as were the lovely young ladies that helped with my carry out orders. I thought the regular sized bowl was a generous portion and will definitely return for healthy lunch and then stroll around to the back of the building for the yummy cupcakes from Kupcakes & Co. behind this location. Balance is key, LOL. read more

I am struggling with the age old problem of not wanting people to know about this place but still wanting it to stay in business. The food here is really great. Everything is exceptionally fresh and flavorful. They deliver on taste. I'm a vegetarian so I am exceptionally happy with the fried tofu and the range of fresh veggies. Plus, I appreciate that the staff takes my (many) inquiries about the vegetarian-ness of things so seriously. Sushi rice is my go to base. And you cannot beat the spicy mayo. Do not pass up the poke sauce or edamame either. And they have clearly cracked the code on avocados- so creamy and ripe. I have seen some other reviewers complain about the price. I think it is very fair for the quality of the food you are getting. Plus, you will be full after eating a bowl. In other news, the staff is very nice. The place is SUPER clean. Only downside is parking is already tight and a Rita's is about to open next door. read more

Coming from CA and having had experience in working in a poke restaurant, my experience was very underwhelming. The scoops of fish were tiny, the toppings/sides were small portioned as well. I got a regular size and it was not filling at all to me. The sauces were good. This place is so close to me, so I was wishing it would be super good. Maybe if they offered imitation crab or some other good fillers. But overall, I would drive to somewhere further for a better experience. read more

Pretty good place and glad I tried it! I was a bit concerned about going because I read a few reviews that said they skimp on the proteins, but thankfully I didn't feel the way the two times I've gone so far. Everything is fresh and tasty. The staff is helpful in giving suggestions. Both times I've gone, it's been pretty quiet in there and I don't know if that's due to the location or what. Also, on my second time going there, I was coming from another location than normal, so I put it into my phone's Google Maps until I got closer to the area. I noticed Maps kept trying to take me some crazy route that made no sense. I don't know if this was a bug, a fluke, or what, but if your GPS is not taking you there, plug in "Old Line Bank" instead and see if that helps. Poke Fresh is next to Old Line Bank. read more

The place is located in shopping strip mall. The restaurant looked pretty clean and have several seatings if you want to dine in. We stopped by and tried the Spicy Hawaiian and a customized large bowl poke. The Spicy Hawaiian was good but they gave me too much rice. You have option to get white rice, brown rice, or spring greens. I asked for half spring greens and half white rice. You have many options to make it fit your taste (add ins, sauce, etc). It was dinner time but there was not much people in there but looked like they were getting some business because Rita's opened up next door. read more

Poke Fresh does a good enough job of giving you the fast-casual poke bowl experience. However, they could stand to give more in the proteins department, as the amount is rather small for the price. $10+ for a regular bowl is fair for poke, but when you skimp on the actual chunks of protein and compensate for the toppings, it's tad bit stingy. The staff is courteous and friendly, some might need to be a bit more trained up, bit they just opened up so that's not really an issue. There's a combination of sauces and toppings you get, most are free. Avocado is $2 I believe (no surprise there). I appreciate that they have the roasted wasabi peas available, giving the bowl a little bit of crunch to it. The few times I've gone so far I've gotten half salmon/half spicy crab salad, which works pretty well. I'm hesitant on getting the tuna as it looks a bit....off. It's lacking in color as another review has mentioned and doesn't look fresh. The place could use a tad bit of decor as well, but it does have more of a grab and go feel to it so that's fine. Overall, not a bad spot to go to for Poke, especially if you live around the Howard County area and don't feel like commuting to Rockville/DC/Baltimore for a bowl. read more

This review is just for the Boba Tea...I haven't yet tried their poke. Don't come here for the Boba unless you like your tapioca Al dente. Too sweet. Taro had a weird taste...didn't taste very much like taro, it was more like a coconut taste to it. Friendly customer service was lacking. Something I COULD overlook if their product was worth it. In this case, it was definitely not. $$ wasted. read more

Decided to give this place a shot since I was craving some poke and Yelp guided me here. First off, this place isn't located in the most convenient shopping area. It's right off an exit on route 100, with heavy traffic. The shopping center is nice, clean, plently of parking! I got the Marine Bowel, because I wanted to try a little of everything, and this thing was stuffed! Salmon and tuna were what you would expect nothing super special, but they heated up the eel in a tiny toaster oven so that it was hot. After receiving by bowel I was told to let them know if I wanted anymore sauce if it wasn't enough. We dined in and seating was clean, and were the only people there except the employees. But they did have one carryout customer while we were there. I asked one of the employees how long they'd been open and he said for several weeks and that business is slowly picking up. I will definitely be back to try more of their variety and customize my own bowel next time! read more

I've had a lot of experience with poke from California and Hawaii (having been a resident from both) and I'm very surprised and pleased to experience a poke place in Maryland with such quality. The fish and topping quality is great. No chewy bits in the tuna or salmon that is often found in lower quality cuts. I'll definitely be going back regularly. read more

Poke Fresh - Regular poke bowl (2 scoops of protein), half greens half white rice - Poke Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

Was searching for a lunch spot when I was really excited to see a new poke place in the Columbia area. Was honestly a little disappointed by the quality of everything. Not as good as trendier poke places I've had in the Northern Virginia area. Typically for poke the star of the dish is about the fish/protein, but they don't give you very much of it, and try to compensate that by giving you a large amounts of other toppings. For my bowl I was given a baffling amount of edamame and was really confused by their portioning decisions. The fish quality was okay, nothing spectacular. But anything that they label is spicy on the menu is not spicy whatsoever. There spicy poke sauce was very sweet for a spicy sauce, and the spicy tuna was just bland. Overall, Poke Fresh was okay and an unremarkable experience for me. I guess any place that doesn't even offer water cups always put me off a little. The decor of the place is also very bland and dull with no decor at all. So if you are just looking to get a pretty good poke bowl and don't care about the ambience of the place, then Poke Fresh is probably passable. read more

Had a good meal here. Things looked and tasted fresh. I've only eaten poke one time other than this, so i don't have much to compare against. However, I thought it was pretty good. The sides and toppings were generous, but i wish there was a little more protein. For example, I ordered one bowl with chicken and tofu, and i got lots of tofu, but maybe 3 small pieces of chicken. That didn't seem like a good ratio. A separate bowl though, I got spicy tuna and eel. The spicy tuna was spicy and had good flavor. The eel has a good flavor as well. I wish there was some description of what all the sauces were. I think that would make it simpler for folks that aren't savvy in poke bowls. Overall, not bad. I'd like to try it again to with some different items from the menu. read more

Bland food and bad customer service. I walked in at around 7:30pm on Saturday night and no one greeted me. I started placing my order. Didn't want any rice so I got some protein and few veggies. The lady asked me if I wanted avocados and I said sure. When I was paying she charged me $3 for the tiny amount of browned avocados she put on my bowl (that I would have gladly passed on had she told me it was a $3 surcharge). The whole time, not a smile, not a thank you, nothing. Paid $18 for a tiny amount of food and for that customer service, I will never be back. read more

I'm a huge poke fan and have been struggling since moving home without a good poke place near me. I used to eat it at least once a week in college and was so sad to move home and not have it. Thankfully this place opened! I don't know why it toook me so long to get in, but now that I've had it, there's no going back. Officially my favorite poke spot! The ingredients are so fresh, the space is clean, and unlike my other spot it doesn't have a strong oil smell! Not to mention the staff is extremely friendly and helpful! I love to load my poke up and struggled picking my toppings and the worker helped me with suggestions along the way! Absolutely delicious! My friend ordered a burrito off their menu and I will say it looked small compared to other sushi burritos I've had, so for the price, I would recommend getting a bowl to maximize the amount of food! read more
