    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.

    Volcano Sushi Burrito

    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.

    Hawaiian Islands Bowl

    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!

    Zuki Japanese Hibachi Grill & Sushi Lounge - California roll, with imitation crab!

    Zuki Japanese Hibachi Grill & Sushi Lounge

    I entered the place and it was empty, with a few staff talking! A handsome and energetic man,…read moreJustus, sat me in the front corner near the entrance, that he called the VIP section! He gave me a menu, and asked if they had any NA drinks. They did not! So, I opted for hot tea. My cousin was on the phone annoying me, so I got him off the phone ASAP, so I could enjoy the experience. Jusus was engaging and a wonderful conversationalist. He was genuine and sincere, an excellent qualities, in any occupation! I started with two soups, and neither of them was what I expected. One tasted like it had freeze dried, or dehydrated mushrooms that hadn't totally rehydrated, and I told Justus, so. I knew what I wanted, so he suggested the sashimi dinner. That way I could get raw seafood, and a "roll" of choice so I ordered a California roll, with real crab. I started with the seafood sampler which was two of everything, sans shrimp . . . there were four! The shrimps was crispy and delicate, and thankfully not pre-breaded. Everything was delicious! The crab rangoon could have used more crab in it, but was tasty. The gyoza dumpling, egg roll (cut in half) were all good! I had sweet chili sauce the most! Then out came my dinner. I asked for low sodium soy sauce, and it was provided. The first shock was that the fish looked like it had been cut with a straight razor! The slices were so thin, they almost looked translucent! They had octopus and butterflies, though the latter tasted good, it also tasted like it had been previously frozen! The California roll was pretty enough and they had tobiko on the outside like I had requested, but there was imitation crab inside! I pointed out that I'd specifically asked for real crab. They only had soft shell crab, and at Justus's suggestion, I had it as a roll. All in all, it was a wonderful and eye opening experience! If you want to try it, I suggest you try it soon, as I heard it would soon be turning into an Italian Resturante!

    We went mid-February 2026 and it was our worst visit to Zuki ever. We have been going for over 10…read moreyears for my brothers birthday. Unfortunately this year was the last. We went at 6pm on a Tuesday and we were the only people there to eat. No one at any tables, no one at hibachi. We were literally the only people there. We had hibachi. Service was slow, they never cleared the table after the soup and salad. Waters were empty, beers/drinks never asked if we wanted another. It took a very long time before the chef came out and we think they had to call him in from his house. He looked like he just woke up from a nap. We have loved Zuki in the past but it's unlikely we will ever return. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
