I live in California and have tasted plenty of poke .... Honestly this was the best poke I have ever had. The tuna was tender and the options for the toppings were amazing. I loved the beets and the radish. So so good... wish I could stay another day just for the poke! read more

I really wanted to like this place as years ago when they opened, I had a good experience. Fast forward to today and the value just isn't there. In today's economy, where everyone is feeling the pinch, it feels insulting to be charged $16 for a bowl that is 90% rice. It is also fundamentally unethical to market a "poke bowl" that only contains four TINY pieces of tuna and one shrimp-- ​To make matters worse, the rice itself didn't even taste fresh. It was hard and dry and it clearly was NOT fresh I reached out to the business directly to voice these concerns, but they were completely dismissive and didnt bother to respond. It's a shame to see a business be this stingy with their portions while showing zero accountability to their customers. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects its patrons and wont short change you with the quantity. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this little spot. I was starving after my flight, but didn't want anything too heavy so I came here for a poke bowl. The bad: The purple rice I got didn't seemed to be cooked properly. The consistency between bites either felt sometimes a little underdone to perfectly cooked. Im guessing I just got a bad batch. The good: Poke tasted nice and fresh. The spicy tuna was marinated, cubed up tuna as opposed to what many poke places do: give you more of a mashed up tuna that likely comes from a can. Lots of good toppings and sauces to make all sorts of combinations. I also really loved the assortment of Japanese sodas and snacks. I got a little matcha pudding (albeit lots of markup on these, but it paired nicely with the meal). It's small so I wouldn't come in with a big group. Almost everyone was a solo diner minus a group of three. But I'd come back if I was around. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

I remember the first time I visited a Jersey Mike's... I was very impressed by the efficiency with which sandwiches were made! Considering they use fresh sliced meat and cheese, several are made at the same time so the slicer isn't being needlessly loaded and unloaded. While Poke Poké doesn't make two bowls of ramen at the same time, I was still blown away by how fast the line is kept moving. Plus, the cashier was able to run two registers at the same time! Where it comes to the food, I ordered a Tsukiji. This one was fantastic, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would from the menu. The rice was cooked perfectly, a medium heat gave a little kick, but not too much, and the sauces up top were done just right. The fish was high quality, and in perfect amounts. The other ingredients worked wonderfully to convey various flavors and textures. A beautiful fireworks display that a good bowl of Poké should be. Finally, for those who like to customize their ramen, everything is well labeled and the menu is easy to follow. Having this place right across from my office is dangerous! Y'all might find me here on a weekly basis! read more

We stopped in to Poke Poke randomly on the way back from Navy Pier. It's located near office buildings and hotels, a bit off the beaten path. We were pleasantly surprised! The menu included poke bowls, ramen and appetizers. When we entered we were immediately greeted at the counter and placed an order. We ordered the miso ramen, build your own poke bowl, and gyoza for our group. We chose tuna and spicy tuna for the five protein choices, along with kimchi, cucumber, edamame, cilantro, and other toppings. The poke bowl was ready immediately, but we only had to wait 5-7 minutes for the ramen and gyoza. The restaurant is small but has three levels with small seating areas. We chose the top floor! The food was delicious! The poke bowl tuna was fresh and very filling. The kids loved the gyoza and split the ramen bowl. The ramen bowl broth was well flavored and deep, ramen was still chewy and fresh, and the pork and eggs complimented the meal. Would highly recommend for a fresh poke bowl, ramen or appetizers to please the entire family. read more

Order ramen. It was cold. Staff did not express care about my concern. I recommend do not order hot dishes when they are busy.

I've been here twice in two weeks! I'm sure it'll be in my rotation. I get a regular bowl (they are pretty big) with spicy tuna and white rice. You can get unlimited toppings. I get edamame, roe, scallion, tempura crispy, pineapple. And then you can add sauces, which I always add the traditional poke sauce. The fish and all the ingredients are really high quality. It's a fairly small spot with some tables inside and some additional seating outside. The staff is super nice, and they work really fast cranking out bowls super fast. I look forward to trying some of the other offerings aside from the bowls. read more

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. read more

The food and service is great here, however Im upset that the owner is open ALL DAY 11am -9pm on Christmas Eve. Most of the staff is Hispanic and as a Hispanic myself I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve so having the employer make the decision to be open all day and not be considerate of his employees makes me enraged as the employees will not be able to spend the holiday with their loved ones but instead working on a day that I'm sure isn't even worth being open. Shame on the employer! Without these employees his business would not be successful. read more

This iteration of build-your-own-poke actually has some unique combinations - and they use purple rice, which I love (and fern root noodles, which I look forward to trying) - but you do have to be careful of oversweetening your bowl with fruit and sauce. Know that what looks like fruit may actually be a fruit-based sauce (yuzu beets, thai mango) and will saturate your bowl instead of being a refreshing addendum to it. That aside, I was happy here with my Kuromon Bowl. Their 'mild' sauce actually had a kick - unusually for a poke bar. They're heavy on the veggies AND fish, which make it feel more like a healthy salad lunch than a carb bomb rice lunch. They also let me sub the shrimp in the bowl for more salmon. read more

I got the custom poke bowl and the potstickers. Honestly didn't need both, the poke bowl was plenty. Love poke, everything was fresh and yummy and I'll be back for it. The gyoza wasn't that good to be honest and fair warning, anything that comes from the kitchen will take a minute AND be incredibly hot. read more

Very disappointing experience. The server kept asking "ah? ah?" in a rude and impatient tone whenever I tried to order. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. The food was average, but the service really ruined the experience. Would not come back. read more

Really great place, lots of good selection as to what you can add to the poke bowl BUT not the happiest with the service from the woman working at the cash register. They charged me for seaweed salad, which I didn't order, and it wasn't in my bowl; when I tried to let the woman know that I was overcharged, her only response was "oh, it must have been the new guy, he's still training". When I asked her twice again if this overcharge could be fixed, she said no. I recommend checking your receipts and bowls when you go here to make sure the same doesn't happen to you. Other than that, the food was good and the staff who made my bowl were very friendly. read more

Came in toward the end of the night and the rice was crunchy, had been sitting in a warmer for too long

Ordered delivery so it's not as pretty. Very tasty poke bowl. Starting off with the purple rice, I have no idea why it's purple or what it adds but it was good. Got three proteins: spicy tuna, salmon, and scallops and wasn't a fan of the tuna. Also, got it spicy and they didn't hold back on the heat. Crab salad, edamame, onions, cucumber, carrots, jalapeños, and beets all as expected. Picked radish was the best topping though. Both classic poke sauce and spicy mayo mixed in, hard to tell the true taste of them but they didn't hurt the bowl. Finally, the tempura crunch and nori added a very nice crunch. Wish I got double tempura crunch, it was so good. Large bowl was super filling, and would recommend customizing it to meet your wants. read more

I was surprised to find this small poke place in the Loop. Their poke is not only delicious and more affordable (especially with their student discount) but also not too heavy. Unlike some poke places, Poke Poké does not drench their fish with a lot of sauce. Also, this was my first time having purple rice with poke! Whenever I have poke cravings, I'll be back! Service was also good as the staff provided great recommendations to my friends. I'll be sure to try their beef noodle soup next time! read more

Stopped in as I was on the hunt for ramen and I was nearby. The spot is smaller, but very efficient. I ordered the black garlic ramen and was asked for spice level. Interesting! Of not, medium,and spicy, I chose hot. I took a seat and waited. The ramen came out within 10 minutes. Solid temperature. The garlic taste was very mild and the spicy level had heat, but wasn't overwhelming at all. The noodles were cooked perfectly. There is one soft boiled egg and a slice of pork belly. A lot of mushroom rounded up the major elements of the ramen. Very approachable place if you're in the mood for ramen in the Loop. read more

Grabbed a bowl at this little shop and it was excellent. It was a bit of a hike from my hotel but worth it. Doesn't look like much from the outside honestly. They had a double door, I assume for air control. I didn't know what I was doing but the woman behind the counter was very patient. I made my selections slowly. Black/purple rice. Double salmon with a lot of free toppings. They made the bowl with care. Everything was well arranged. Tasted great. Never had that kind of rice before but it didn't taste strange at all. They also carry a variety of Asian drinks. Not cheap which I know is always the case but I splurged and had a mango Calpico/Calpis. It's been maybe 5 years since I had one last. read more

If there is one raw fish fan on this earth....then it is me. I absolutely love sushi, sushimi, poke, all of it!!!

I got the make your own poke bowl with spicy tuna, extra ginger, crab meat, greens base, onions, cucumber, and basically any veggie I could find. I love the array of sauces and the willingness of the workers to give me the extra spicy mayo I wanted. I wish there were more creative pre made bowls and a non plastic dine in option. read more

I got the tsukiji bowl with vermicelli instead of rice. It was a decent bowl, a little heavy on the sauce IMO, I wish they had asked how much sauce I wanted (light, medium, heavy), bc I would've said light. It ended up being a bit on the salty side and heavier bc of the mayo sauce. but it was a decent meal regardless. 3.5 stars read more
