The restaurant itself isn't fancy but is clean and bigger than I thought, plenty of seating'. The woman that took our order was very kind in helping us order. Now the food. That poke bowl the salmon lover was the best poke bowl I have had. So fresh and just tasted amazing. My daughter loved her salmon roll also. She also had the ramen and loved it, it was a huge bowl. Everything was fresh made right there. I will be back here for that poke bowl soon. read more

First visit tonight and we will definitely be back! We both had choose your own ingredient poke bowls and they were fantastic. All of the ingredients were very fresh. I had the spicy tuna and the spicy salmon as my proteins. again, very fresh and the spicy sauce was just right. The portion size was a good value for the money as well. The owner was friendly and helpful as we asked questions about the ingredient options. read more

Very friendly, even when very busy. Accommodating to any menu request and the orders are always correct. We never have to check online orders for accuracy or missing items. read more

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 read more

I'm in Evansville once a year and always make a point to stop here for dinner one of my nights! Never disappoints

Quick trip to Evansville and stopped in for lunch. We got the BYO poke bowl. Lots of fresh options and the price was good. The only thing is the portions on the veggies were on the smaller side. I also prefer a spicy crab salad in my poke bowl but they don't offer it here. Service was very fast and friendly. Would definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Amazing food and service. I have traveled all over the US for work and this is one of the best places I've ever eaten at for poke bowls. It reminds me of the high quality poke bowls I've had in Hawaii. read more

The staff is always friendly and the food is so good. It's my favorite place to eat when visiting. Definitely recommend.

I love Poke bowls. I've wanted to try this place for a while. Great place for lunch, and dinner, but I went there after my appointment at the BMV next door. I had a marinaded tuna bowl with everything on it. I liked the Yuma sauce (lemon). We were spaced out for Covid, but eating in wasn't a problem. I liked the food , and I'm telling y'all about it. I'm giving it a solid 4.7 bellies! read more

Everything was fresh, the owners are really nice. I've never been in a place like this, and his help and recommendations were spot on. Nice and quiet when I went for lunch, I'll be back for sure. read more

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. read more

Quick service, we ordered online and was able to pick up in 10 minutes. Parking lot so parking isn't an issue. Friendly staff.

Decent portions and pretty good food, plenty of protein. read more

Poke River - Rice Bowl with 3 Protein Marinated Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Ahi Tuna - Japanese Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

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! read more

I canNOT recommend this place more. I take all of my friends here and they all have gotten just as obsessed as I am. The sushi burrito remains on top. Crab rangoons are also SO good. Truly love this place. May be a hidden gem???? I don't know. read more

(This review is based on a delivered order) Oh my gosh! The Poke bowl (Ahi tuna) was fresh and bright! The mango in it was DELICIOUS which was surprising given the area and availability. Things to order if getting delivered: the Poke bowl, gyoza and sushi all travelled well. The fried food was ok. I highly recommend Poke River! read more

This place has the most fresh ingredients. And everything tastes delicious! The owner is super kind, too.

Poke River - Sit down area. Very welcoming and cozy. - Japanese Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

The atmosphere is very quiet. If you're more on the introverted side, this place is very cozy to have your lunch/dinner! The staff is very friendly. If you order a sushi burrito you get to pick everything you'd like on it, like you would at a Subway. It's a nice touch to be able to watch your food get made, I've always liked that personally. They seemed to be a little busy when I'd ordered so the wait time was a bit longer than I would have liked. The fish is nice and fresh and the soup is nice and warm. I recommend this place to anyone who likes a good bowl of udon! The crab Rangoons are smaller than I expected them to be but the flavor is amazing! read more

Love this place! There are so many choices! Everything is fresh. And the price is just right. I have gone twice now since the pandemic began and they are engaging in social distancing practices and safety (e.g. face masks, hand sanitizer, cleaning tables). The service is wonderful. The food is yummy. And the space is nice. And if you are not comfortable dining in, they have carry out and Door Dash. So happy that Evansville has a poke bowl place like Poke River. You can also get ramen and udon bowls. I still have to their bubble tea. Nonetheless, highly recommend trying their poke bowls! read more

I ordered Poke River through Grubhub and I was more than pleasantly surprised! The food was perfect including the crab Rangoon (sometimes fried food isn't the best as take-out)! This was my first time ever trying Poke River and I can tell you that I will definitely be coming in to the restaurant now as well as order it through take-out again! One of my new favorite places! :) read more

The staff here welcomed us and explained the menu. It was our first time, so we felt a bit awkward. All of the friendly smiles made our dinner extraordinary. I had a Tuna Lovers bowl with salad and my husband a Hawaiian bowl with white rice. All the food was fresh and delicious. read more

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

This was BY FAR the worst Poké bowl I've ever had. Dry. Flavorless. Just completely disappointing for $18. It's like they put NO SAUCE in it at all. I ordered 3 sauces. It's like eating sawdust. Just so gross. Ate 4 bites and threw it in the garbage. read more
