Stopped by Poke Lakes and was pleasantly surprised. The fish and vegetables were incredibly fresh, and for around $16, the bowl was packed with generous portions and a great variety of toppings. I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. The aioli was delicious, and all of the sauces complemented the bowl really well, especially the poke sauce. Even though it's outside of Charlotte, it's absolutely worth the stop if in the area and is a must-try if you're a poke fan. Definitely ranked high on my list of poke spots. I only wish it were closer to me because I'd be here all the time. The restaurant itself has a very aesthetic and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot to grab a meal. read more

Great service, fresh fish, wonderful food. We stopped here for a late lunch that ended up being our early dinner. Mrs. K. and I do enjoy poke and it fits well when I'm on my keto diet. My vacation officially started this afternoon, so I'm not on keto. My bowl with tuna was on a brown rice base! Delicious, lots of different textures here and a big portion considering that this was the "small." The young lady at the counter was friendly and helpful and put together two of their "bespoke" bowls but asked along the way if we wanted to customize in any way. A delightful meal and we'll be back to Poke Lakes. [Review 1013 of 2025 - 4359 in North Carolina - 24567 overall] read more

Inviting and clean, this place is a gem! They have a wide variety of fresh poke options. Build your own or try one they've put together, either way you'll be eating fresh, delicious food. I got the number 2 tuna bowl which was fantastic. When I entered I was immediately greeted by a woman with a warm smile who led me through the options, because this was my first time here. It certainly won't be my last! read more

Best food in the area. Friendly staff and nice and clean restaurant. Quick service and great selection of fresh healthy options. Highly recommended. read more

There are clearly people who come in who are regulars! It must mean that their food is good. I came in and ordered one of their pre-decided bowls, but the woman asked me if I wanted to change anything multiple times! I like that she wanted to check it was what I wanted. The food was good and fresh! Some people sat in and ate, with plenty of space to sit. Nice and clean inside. I took mine to go but I would be fine eating in! read more

Easy 5 stars. Their ingredients are fresh and flavorful and they don't skimp on the portions. I typically get the same thing every time and absolutely love it as a healthy lunch option... Half scoop of sushi rice, green onions, avocado, marinated tuna, spicy salmon, and top it off with ponzu sauce and sesame seeds. Also I have to mention how incredibly friendly the staff is. Every time I come here I'm greeted with a welcome and a smile. They happily answer any questions I have and it just feels like great vibes here. So glad Poke Lakes is here a part of the Cornelius community! read more

My husband and I enjoyed a weekday lunch at Poke Lakes after our neighbor recommended them as a place to try. We both love poke bowls, and the convenience of either choosing a menu item or making a bowl of your own makes this place a winner. My husband had the #5 Molokai bowl. I customized my bowl with a salad base, cucumbers, seaweed salad, avocados, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, poke sauce, coconut ginger sauce, sriracha aioli sauce, and tempura flakes. Their bowls are generously filled with very fresh ingredients, and I couldn't finish all of mine. We both loved the spicy salmon and tuna, and would definitely get this mix again. And I love that you can have a low-carb meal here! The only downside is that the prices can get kind of high when you add multiple ingredients that cost extra. Our two bowls with water and a soda were $34.30. We noticed the staff cleaning the tables as soon as customers left. The place was exceptionally clean, and the staff were quite friendly and helpful. We'll definitely return! read more

Saw that Poke Lakes was finally open and took the opportunity to visit. I am always looking for good Poke and this is relatively close to my house. I didn't realize that they are part of the POKE Bros chain. Service was quick and I made my own POKE bowl. The ingredients were fresh and I felt that I got good value for my money. I will be coming back here when I am close. Always looking for a healthy bite to eat. Please support this business. read more

This poke bowl was soooooooo good. And fresh! I got spicy tuna and salmon. Added seafood salad and (fresh) mango. The employee recommended eel sauce and two others i can't remember... just ask them and they will put you on. It's delicious. Couple of tables right outside to eat at. Right next door to cycle so it's too easy to go right after class.... 10/10 read more

There is a new Poke Bros location in Huntersville. It's near FedEx behind Starbucks at Rosedale. This place is amazing! It's very bright and clean. The service was awesome. Their selection to create your own poke' bowl was impressive. Ingredients were all fresh, portions were generous and the prices were extremely reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and location. It was brilliant to put it at exit 23. There is nothing that compares to this in quality and price without traveling a distance. I want everyone to know about the new location. They also do take out! read more

My wife and I enjoy the food and service we get a this Restaurant. The staff is friendly as well. You can sit inside or outside.

I truly LOVE Poke Lakes. Delicious seafood bowl with all my favorite toppings! Friendly staff. I highly recommend! Yum!

We love Poke Bros and so it's no surprise that we LOVE Poke Lakes. I've been dying to have a good Poke place close by - and this is the perfect one. It's set up "subway" style (talk about being a first of our time ha). You can get a premade designed bowl that their staff has curated OR you can build your own. I always build my own with salad and rice mixed as my base. They have so many protein options including cooked protein if raw fish isn't your jam. It's full of flavor, fresh and perfect for fast casual/ to go. read more

One of the best healthy but quick food options in the area. You can build your own or choose from some of their designed bowls, and the ingredients are high quality. Absolutely delicious. Just GO! read more

So glad a build your own poke place found its way into the Lake Norman area!! If you like sushi you will definitely love a poke bowl. There are so many options to make your own bowl or try one of their own signature bowls, the sky is the limit!! If you're looking for a fresh alternative to the grease and fat filled fast food options that pepper the area, definitely give this place a try. I've already been a number of times and plan on making it a regular lunch or dinner spot because it's quick, easy and tastes amazing!! The team there are great and can answer any questions you might have if you're new to poke bowls. You can eat in the tropical themed interior or take out. Either way you're in for a great, fresh and healthy meal!! read more

Food is fresh, plentiful and very good. The place is clean too. Friendly staff! The prices and selections are good too!

Tried this place after a workout next door and wow....best chicken salad I have ever had. I built my own, lots of options and all very fresh. They weren't stingy with ingredients either. I will be back again for sure! read more

So excited to try this new place in Cornelius. Conveniently located on Torrence Chapel Road (near Fresh Market) where many new businesses are popping up. I had the Maui mix, a combination of marinated tuna, edamame, avocado, corn etc. It was a generous amount and so so fresh. My husband had the molokai, a mixture of spicy salmon, spicy tuna, edamame, etc. It had a little "bite"/spice, but very delicious. My only complaint (just a personal preference) is that it's a Pepsi rather than coke soft drink option. The restaurant is clean and very attractive, and the staff friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend for eating in, or take out. There is also a "frequent buyers' card" for incentive. read more

Was good when they first opened.. now everything just tastes slimy and not fresh. There is better options at fresh market that is made fresh daily in the same parking lot! This place does have a nice staff just the quality of fish isn't there for the price. read more
