    Salmon Poke Bowl with lots of add ons for no extra money
    Valerie G.

    The best Asian lunch spot in the loop. Something for everyone. Quick service and good tunes.

    I've had Poke in multiple spots in Hawaii, Japan, and New York but I think this might be the best poke I've had everrrr I've had super fresh poke in Hawaii but this somehow tastes more fresh?! I was just looking for a simple sit down spot for a quick meal during my work trip, but I am blown away. Quality of the ingredients is amazing. The sauce options also appeal to me since I am a sucker for mango sauces. Also very clean tables and they play chill music I will say, if I paid for this meal on my own and didn't expense, I'd probably complain about portions. I bought a large bowl that comes with 5 proteins and picked triple salmon. Triple salmon felt kind of standard sized to me which is something I think may draw a line for others.

    Pretty small restaurant with a few tables and 2 different ordering lines for hot food and poke. I got the regular poke with purple rice for $17 that comes with 3 proteins (I got 2x salmon 1x tuna) and you can pick a spice level. It was really good and the service was quick, great for a quick to-go lunch

    I got a BYO poke bowl from here (about $15 after tax) - it was fresh and delicious. The portions are moderate, which is actually a good thing since I wanted a light, healthy lunch. I love that you can choose up to 3 proteins and 8 toppings. They also have other yummy looking items like braised beef noodle soups and ramen. There is limited seating inside, and the interior is clean.

    I mean this was fine --but for $20 for a large bowl the portions were an absolute joke. I was stunned when I saw the bowl she had to put the fish in - it was like a mini plate where you'd put soy sauce and the size of the spoon she was using to scoop it - i couldn't believe that was the LARGE. Probably 2.5 oz max of fish... just look how small that bowl is. SKIP

    We decided to stop in here on our trip to Chicago after looking for something lighter and more refreshing to eat. This place was busy but the service was kind, friendly, and efficient. The place was very cute inside and on theme. The Poké was DELISH! We loved it and they had great portions. I would definitely come again the next time I'm in Chicago !

    Braised Beef noodles Soup
    Olivia C.

    WOW! I'd been hearing about Poke Poke since moving to Chicago, and it lived up to the hype! I've yet to try their Poke funnily enough, but I came for the soup so that's what I got. The Braised Beef Ramen was a featured item, or maybe a returning item, I don't remember, but seeing as it's available for a limited time, I decided to give it a try. That was some of the best beef I have had in my life, completely dissolving in your mouth, my stomachs growling just thinking about it! The noodles were just as amazing, the flavor was incredible, they tasted homemade although I'm not sure if that's true. It's a cute little spot with quick service, perfect for lunch :)

    So tasty and fresh totally enjoyed this bowl. I'll be ordering again. I also had the black bean cake was tasty

    Braised Beef Noodles Soup $16.00 9/12/2024

    I was craving for Braised Beef Noodles Soup and was searching for a place that had this menu and found Poke Poké. Looking at the pictures it looked authentic and good so there was no hesitation but to go in and order a bowl. Thursday 7pm, it was not too busy. There were 3-4 tables but 2 were occupied, one with a larger group. Placed the order at the counter, paid, then grabbed a seat while waiting for the food. Chopsticks and napkins were placed by the side wall. Water is self serve. Most of the orders seemed to be pick up orders. My noodles came out in about ten minutes as the kitchen was busy preparing for to go orders as people came in to pick up their Poké/sushi orders. Braised Beef Noodles Soup was amazing. Braised beef was super tender as I was hoping for, the soup was pepper spicy where I could not drink constantly without coughing, bokchoy was well cooked and the egg was delicious. I have found a new favorite spot for braised beef noodles soup and I am so glad.

    Ambiance: Walking in, the restaurant is small with a little amount of seating but has a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. There's not much activity that goes on and it is quite calm, which was relaxing. There also wasn't many customers yet there weren't enough tables to sit separate groups of people. Service: We received a menu and then sat down at our table. The system reminded me of a lunch line. They don't go to the table and serve you, we walked up to the bar with the poke ingredients and picked up our food from there. Food: - poke bowls: were excellent, fresh, and flavorful. fish was soft and veggies had a nice crunch. very refreshing - ramen: aromatic but taste was a bit muted. could use more sodium and flavor in general. - gyoza: soft but also a bit muted in flavor. Overall, everything was very much giving comfort food! Selection on menu wasn't very large. It included "appetizers" like gyoza, edamame, etc and some ramen and poke options. Nothing really made it stand out but it wasn't a bad experience.

    Here for SHRM24 and chanced upon this poke spot directly located near the Palmer House hotel where the shuttle bus dropped me off yesterday. Of course, in planning ahead for my late night return from the game, I picked up a poke bowl to store cold in the mini fridge. This location was convenient and the service I received from the staff was great. The guy who prepared my bowl took his time to explain how many proteins, toppings and sauces I'm allowed. The ingredients in the cold box looked fresh, and more importantly, tasted fresh. I got a mix of the vermicelli noodles and spring mix as the base, a combination of spicy tuna, salmon and shrimp for protein. Toppings and sauces are standard of other poke spots so it was delicious. The restaurant also serves a braised beef noodle soup. Which I'm contemplating on having at some point, time permitting, before I leave the conference.

    Regular poke bowl

    A small shop with around 9 tables of 2-4! They serve both ramen and poke bowls. The fresh fish and toppings selection was quite large, and the bowl was absolutely delicious!! I got the spicy tuna, regular tuna, and salmon.l - regular bowl includes 3 scoops of protein. I wish the scoops were larger, but I was still full by the end! Loved that crab meat was included as one of the toppings and not an extra charge.

    I was going to a CSO concert nearby and my group decided to come here for dinner. The portions were large and there were lots of fresh veggies and toppings to choose from. I got the regular create your own poke and chose spicy tuna and salmon for my proteins. They had some unique components for poke that I hadn't seen before, like purple rice, pineapple, and beets. I wish they had seaweed salad and avocado as topping options but the poke bowl was still packed with flavor and really delicious. Definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you're downtown around the river walk area. It was around $16 for each bowl with tax. They also serve hot food like ramen and noodle soup, definitely want to give those a try next time. This location is a little smaller so there's only 4 seating areas with a few tables that sit 2 people. Service was prompt and efficient. You'll have to do paid street parking if you're stopping by.

    I made a reservation for two at 8:45 PM. When we arrived a little early, I noticed that the…read morerestaurant was listed as closing at 9:00 PM, so I asked what that meant for our reservation. The response I received was essentially, "I don't know." Since I had a reservation, I was then asked for my name. After I gave it, I was told that they couldn't find it and couldn't pronounce my name, so I should look for it myself. I was honestly quite taken aback by the way the situation was handled. I tried to be understanding, thinking that the staff may simply have had a long and busy day, but I'm leaving this review in the hope that the next guest has a better experience. If, when I first asked about the closing time, someone had simply said, "We're sorry for the confusion. We stop accepting new customers at 9:00 PM, but we will continue serving guests with reservations," the whole situation could have been resolved pleasantly for everyone. And before telling a guest, "I can't pronounce your name and I can't find your reservation, so you find it yourself," it would have taken very little effort to scroll down just a little further. My reservation was there.

    Ramen Wasabi will always have me at a chokehold. Probably by far the best ramen spot in Chicago,…read moreand that is saying a lot since I've been to many different ramen restaurants in the city. Ramen Wasabi has no reservations. The wait times vary, but sometimes there are seats readily available. There are bar seats available and a large middle table that you share with other parties. Service has always been good for us, and we're known as regulars there now Karaage - Fried Chicken Nuggets: An absolute must for any craving. Plenty to share with friends and the togarashi mayo dip is super delicious with it. Juicy bites with crispy batter, making everything about this appetizer perfect. Signature Tonkotsu (with Spice Umami): the noodles are sooo bouncy. I love how rich the broth is and how easy it is to bite into the Char Siu. It is so filling and honestly reminds me of my time in Japan. Tokyo Classic Shoyu (with Spice Umami): lighter broth compared to the tonkotsu, but just as delicious. This is another must-try! Ramen Wasabi will always remain as my top ramen shop in Chicago. Never had a miss with this.

    This is a unique ramen spot that specializes in beef-ramen! You don't find many spots like that,…read moresince many ramen shops tend to have pork broth or char siu (pork). We didn't come in with a reservation, but were seated very quickly (within 10 mins) at the bar. It was very cool to be able to watch the chefs cook up your ramen while you were seated! It has a fairly dark and intimate dining area, making it a great place for a date night. The Shoyu Plus had a unique depth to its broth, with delicious flavors within each bite. Something that I noticed was that it had a lighter broth compared to your traditional tonkotsu (pork broth) ramen. The Miso Wagyu is a smaller version of the Monster Ramen (their specialty). This was a decent size with again, lots of flavor. The broth was a little thicker (not too thick, but due to the miso). But it was just as good as the Shoyu Plus. If I had to choose between the two, I really liked the Shoyu Plus. But if it's your first time, try their speciality! Good depth in their broths, and an amazing place for those who cannot eat pork to still enjoy ramen here

    I was skeptical when I first heard the name Monster Ramen. All my previous personal experiences…read morehave always proven to me that restaurants with names that don't represent their culture in distinct ways are generally subpar. For example, I would usually never even think to step into a restaurant named Best China House, Sushi Bistro, or Mom's Korean Restaurant. (Apologies if your shops are named as such. These were meant to be generic examples) Oh, how times have changed. I would have never thought having a bowl of ramen at a Monster Ramen would give me this much pleasure. Part of it will (in fact, most of it) be on me and my general philosophy on fusion cuisine and outdated gemerational gap. There was definitely a time when avoiding agorementioned type of restaurants may have been deemed smart. But I feel the new generation of restaurant owners and chefs have up'd their games in not only at better food making, but also accepting of a bit more irony. Anyone who knows me knows how much I stay away from trying anything "fusion." It's kinda funny to myself how hypocritical it is that I would be totally okay in substituting an ingredient or two when I'm missing some when cooking, but when it comes to paying money to sit and eat that I would judge chefs by thier style of cooking. Yes, a big part of it is based on a large pool of personally gathered data, but I do acknowledge that I need to open myself up a bit more. Case in point. I was recommended MR by a fellow Yelper and I decided to give it a whirl. I happened to have a friend and his son with me, so I was able to do small tastings of 3 different ramen. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised. We collectively had bowls of shio, shoyu and miso specials. Plus, I ended up getting the Summer Special bowl to go for my wife. All of them had their individual charm to them but more importantly, each of them were made to perfection when it came to broth seasoning and noodle texture, which are THE two most important aspect of ramen, in my opionion. Not too salty nor bland soup. Perfectly dense noodles. I just loved all four! It wad when I tasted the yuzu in tgeir shio ramen that my wife would love it. Even though I brought her the spicy Sunmer version home, I still think it'll be worth bringing her and our daughter back when we get a chance to. Our server Dionne (I think) was most pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, too. It helped that I came before the dinner rush, although, I can also see more lively vibe being nice as well. Will be back with the fam definitely!
