    Harumaki Roll
    Lil W.

    Friendly staff and fast service (ordered online) Flat surface for accessibility. Spacious inside. Phone was busy every time I called. Not a lot of customers inside though. Harumaki Roll (4) - $2.70 Cooked to perfection. Crispy & tasty. Even better with Yum Yum sauce Rating: 8.9/10 - could have been stuffed more. Hibachi Grilled Salmon Bowl - about $15 Salmon overcooked and lacked flavor. Rice and vegetables not enough flavor. However, side sauces (Yum Yum & Sweet and Sour) added a bit more flavor to eat. For price, quantity could have been better Rating: 6/10 Overall: 6.7

    This place is too good not to review! So fresh, everything is delicious and the proprietor is amazing. This is my new staple stop for a bite to eat!

    Absolutely DELICIOUS! They served it up so fast and accurate to be the most delicious poke I have ever had! (And I eat a lot of poke). There is a reason it has 5 stars. SERIOUSLY. Go get some!! The place is spacious and has quite a bit of seating. Give it a try.

    While venturing out in Evansville, we happened upon Poke River and decided to give it a try. There's ample parking. The interior is spacious and clean with ample seating. We were greeted by one of their staff who was also taking orders at the counter. The food offerings were ramen, udon, poke bowls, and sushi. The sushi chef was on the opposite end of the counter and rolling sushi. Being accustomed to cubed raw fish that is flavored for poke bowls, the spicy poke options appeared to be ground up fish which I guess is a mainland thing at some restaurants. I ended up ordering beef ramen. The order was brought to our table and dug into it. The broth was flavorful and not overly salty. The noodles were Al dente and there were a few pieces of tender beef along with bamboo shoots and half a hard boiled egg. The meal was tasty and filling. As it was approaching lunch time, other customers entered the restaurant. We found the staff to be quite friendly and polite and experienced good service by the waitress who brought our order out to us. The food was quite good and filled my appetite. I'd return to Poke River and would likely try some of their sushi. Highly recommended.

    This was the first poké that I have had since moving to the area almost a year ago, and I should have came sooner. The place was quiet and nice, the workers were helpful and friendly. The food was lights out good! It's a 20 minute drive for me, but I'm already making plans to return this weekend.

    Quick service, we ordered online and was able to pick up in 10 minutes. Parking lot so parking isn't an issue. Friendly staff. I ordered the Volcano Sushi Burrito and ordered a Hawaiian Poke Bowl for my boyfriend. I was able to select a Poke salad instead of rice for his. Decent portions and pretty good food, plenty of protein.

    Holy delicious! I'm late to the game, this was my first Poke bowl experience but let me tell you it was a good one! The bowl was packed to the brim with fresh fish, veggies, and avocado all on a bed of greens. The flavors worked so well together and it was very filling! I was able to eat half for lunch and half for dinner. Definitely worth stopping by to try!

    Fresh healthy delicious food. We stopped here while visiting from out of town, and were very pleased. The owner was very pleasant, and clearly cares about his work. Highly recommend.

    Sushi Burrito with 2 Protein
    Brooks W.

    If you want to eat some both delicious and fresh, you need to visit Poke River. I just starting going to the restaurant and I've always visited several times. At some restaurants, great food AND service can be a hit or miss. At Poke River, they never fail to provide delicious food and excellent customer service. I am just so impressed at how amazing this restaurant is. Now, what do I like to order? Well, the sushi burrito is my go-to meal. Poke River offers a wide variety of items to add to the sushi burrito, which is good for adventurous eaters like myself! I also recently tried their Crab Rangoon, and I was blown away! The Crab Rangoon is light, not greasy, has the perfect amount of filling, and are very crispy. I love them! I am so happy that Poke River came to Evansville!

    Yes, girl, we love this poke. Do not bother with other poke in town--just go to The River.

    This is my favorite sushi spot in Evansville. I've loved everything I've tried. So fresh and tasty.read more

    Traveling on business I try to avoid chains and support local independent businesses. This place…read moreis in a strip mall which can be a turn off. With that, I have been surprised more times than not by trying these places. Not the case today. I ordered a simple hibachi steak and shrimp combo and a tako su app which is octopus. The salad was OK. The soup tasted watered down and poorly seasoned. The octopus was the game changer. I have eaten octopus my entire life and this was clearly previously frozen and aged out after thawing. It had a rancid smell and texture was hard, not chewy. They covered it in Ponzu to hide it but no amount of sauce could fix this. I took one bite and sent it back fearing I would risk food poisoning if I consumed it. Dinner came out and tbe portions were skimpy and the steak was overcooked. Rather than complain I thought I would cut my losses and simply not come back. Then the bill came and they left the rancid octopus on the check. I asked why and I was told the chef prepared it right so I would be billed. Had to get a manager involved to get it taken off. Serious disappointment with this place. If you come here, stick to common ingredients that turn over regularly because old spoiled food will find its way to your plate before it finds a trash can where it belongs.

There were plenty of parking so you don't have to worry about not being able to find a parking spot. I tried their tempura shrimp roll and also their chicken teriyaki bento box. The bento box came with miso soup, salad, an egg roll, and the California roll. I honestly really enjoyed the bento box. I thought it was a really good lunch deal. The chicken teriyaki sauce was also pretty yummy. I also liked their eggroll alot. In all, I didn't have a bad experience and would consider coming back here if I'm ever in town again.

Included in this box (and it comes to the table in a box!) were pieces of lightly fried and breaded sweet potato and zucchini, salad, egg roll, California roll, rice and soup. I opted for the Hibachi soup instead of the Miso. The tempura was greaseless and the veggies were tender. The salad is lettuce with a light dressing. Everything was excellent except for the Hibachi soup. I order it ever time and it's so salty. I'll try the Miso next time. The service is excellent with friendly staff. Also, the restaurant is clean. I'll be back again in a couple months.
