My favorite poke place in the city - the veggies are very fresh and the sauces are so flavorful. I love that they go heavy on the toppings so the topping to rice ratio is superb. Their preset bowls are really good but you can always customize to your liking. I did try the boba once - that's not as good so I'd mostly stick with the poke. read more

Pretty good! I tried - Thai Larb Zaap Crispy Chicken Bowl - Chicken Gyoza Gyoza were surprisingly tender and flavorful. The chicken was a bit too salty...should have went with one of the fish options. read more

This is probably one of my favorite poke bowls ever! Although I only eat shrimp/chicken proteins so I dont have much to comment on the salmon/tuna proteins. The bowl is super fresh and all the ingredients felt very clean and healthy. I love how they have pre-set options and also Build your own bowls. The most interesting topping for me was the mashed sweet potato! Ive never seen that before in poke and thought it was an interesting addition. Service was great!! The workers there were attentive and had our bowls made quickly. They also were just friendly in general and I felt welcomed in the store. I also like how the store has seating against the window and also quieter booths for smaller parties. read more

Came to Chicago for work and was searching boba teas on yelp. I'm downtown by the river and it was a 16 min walk. I love walking here in Chicago so the walk was nice. Got there and the staff didn't say anything but was to the side making orders. I feel like they were just letting you be. There is a self check out. They did answer some questions and made the drink pretty fast. The place is really cute inside as well. This cloud drink was really good. Can't explain it, but I've never had a drink like it. It was like a cream. Really delicious! They do have many many drink options and the food looks really good. I had dinner reservations so I didn't try the food. I will definitely come back ! read more

Stopped by Poke San and tried the Aloha Bowl and a Hokkaido milk tea and both were excellent. The bowl was super fresh and had a great balance of flavors and textures. Everything tasted really delicious and well put together. The Hokkaido milk tea was creamy and just the right amount of sweet, a perfect pairing with the bowl. The staff was really friendly and welcoming, and the space has a cute, relaxed vibe that makes you want to hang out for a bit. It was my first time here, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more. Great spot for a quick, flavorful meal. read more

I was in CHI for work and went to three different Poké spots. This was by far the best! The quality of food and service was amazing, and they gave the most food compared to the others (all comparable prices too). I went here twice in three days! read more

Want poke? Go to poke San! Solid food, good service, and you get exactly what you expect - deliciousness.

I ordered a pick-up from Poké San and walked in 20 minutes later--my order was ready right on time! The interior is super cool, with a Chipotle-style poke bowl bar where you can customize your bowl, plus a juice bar up front. There's plenty of seating if you want to eat there, both indoors and outdoors. I went with 5 scoops of protein, which I'd recommend if you're really hungry--it was the perfect portion. My bowl had veggies, sushi rice, spicy tuna, double spicy salmon, regular salmon, and spicy shrimp, topped with spicy mayo and poke sauce. The combination was spot on! For my first poke bowl in Chicago, I have to say this is as good as it gets in the Midwest. I'll definitely be coming back next time I want quick Poke and would highly recommend getting a side of spicy mayo for extra dipping! read more

In town traveling and noticed this place right down the street from where we are saying. Passed by several times and decided to give it a try... what a great decision that was! I've had many poke bowls in many different cities and this was easily my favorite. Everything was fresh and the service was outstanding. The manager made it a point to strike up a conversation with us while our food was being made. She was so friendly! We would absolutely stop here again for both the food and the friendly service. read more

Very Good poke place. Fish was excellent ( super fresh ) and I enjoyed most of the toppings ( including the marinated shiitake mushroom which you don't typically find at other poke places). In addition to poke they have a hug cafe drink menu including coffees, cloud drinks , smoothies and milk teas. Recommend if in the area looking for a healthy option . read more

It's hard to comment on the Poke Bowl in Chicago as I'm not familiar with the local's expectations. The fish was fresh. The service was good. There's no spicy aioli sauce? Frankly, the Poke Bowl we have in Cupertino, CA, has a better variety of fish options and condiments. read more

I was so excited to see another Poke place open up in Chicago, let alone River North, and this place didn't disappoint! I got the small bowl and strawberry matcha- both were great. It's a little walk from the beach too and a perfect stop to pick up from before! read more

Poke San - Strawberry Matcha and Small Bowl - Poke Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

New poke spot in town!!! Great selection of choices and all of the ingredients are fresh. Reasonable pricing for the portion served. Make sure to try out the sushi rice! It's hard to find a poke spot that serves traditional sushi rice, so it's amazing to see Sushi San has sushi rice instead of just ordinary rice. The drink menu is phenomenal, lots of choices! The drinks we ordered were all amazing! The interior design was cute, unique, and extraordinary! All staffs were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a great spot to hit up for a quick meal (very convenient and quick place to snag a meal). read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant while in River North and it was SO good that I had to leave a review. First off, the bowl is deceptively bigger than it looks and you get a great bang for your buck for $15. The service was excellent and the ingredients tasted so fresh. I will definitely be back! read more

Food: great bowl options, good and fresh. Teas are really food Service: nice crew Ambiance: messy are in back makes you wonder if they are moving out. Also, they need to stop using fabuloso cleaning supplies. The smell of the cleaning supplies mixed with the fish is rough. You can smell it on the street when passing by....worse when you go in. read more

Loved it! I like how you get to pick up to 3 different proteins. Even after mixing my bowl, I didn't feel like the protein disappeared -- something I've felt at other Poke spots. I appreciated the alternative milk options available. Mostly bar seating is available, with only three booths (can only fit 2 people) open. We wanted something fast, and this was perfect. read more

YUM! We live in the neighborhood and loved this place when it used to be Real Good. We're so excited to finally have a restaurant back in this location! I tried the Hawaiian bowl, friends got the build your own. It was so good- surpassed all of our expectations! Authentic, fresh, tasty poke. Loved the spicy tuna and spicy salmon. Fresh ingredients, great fish, and so many options. Staff was so sweet and we love what they've done with the space inside. Have already been back. This will be a great addition to the neighborhood for summer lunches and pool days! They offer takeout, along with some other teas and specialty beverages. Highly recommend! read more

I recently moved from the South and was excited to find food that could match what I was used to--but Poke San blew me away. For the price, the portions are incredibly generous (enough for two meals!) and the quality is top-notch. The salmon is bright, fresh, and absolutely delicious--definitely puts the overpriced, not-so-fresh poke I've had in the South to shame. Highly recommend! read more

I was in the River North area recently and was looking for something relatively quick to eat and something more on the lighter/fresher side when I passed Poke San on N. Wells. I popped in and immediately loved the fun bright kitschy decor especially the neon signs and painted cans to look like boba. Once I a passed through and made my way to the ordering counter I was met with a pleasant array of fraud fish and toppings and greeted by the lovely staff who took my order. I did a build your own bowl with three proteins - baked salmon, tuna, and shrimp and sushi rice for my base! I then picked a ton of toppings! My bowl was packed full of fresh goodness. I noticed toppings I also hadn't seen at other poke spots like sweet potato and kimchi among others. There are also so many delicious sauces to choose from. Additionally I appreciated the designated gluten free ingredients as it made building my bowl much easier. The bowl was huge, fresh, delicious, and filling and all for $14.95. I also tried one of their cloud milk teas, the sunrise which I believe was strawberry and mango. I loved my experience and my only disappointment is that I don't live closer. I'm not near downtown or river north often but I know where I'll grab a bite to eat next time I find myself in the area. read more
