    An unassuming small spot in a strip mall... a nice one, I'll say.. I am very familiar with the area, but had no idea about this gem until my friend suggested we meet here for lunch. I'm so glad that she did! Nice, open, and very clean... I love that there are sheets where you can check off what you'd like in your poke bowl.. made it a very easy and quick process. Friendly service and patient with questions. I got kale and zucchini noodles for my base, which I LOVE the kale noodles.. spicy salmon for my protein.. added sweet onion, furikake, a bunch of veggies--I forget lol, topped with their Hawaiian shoyu sauce (so good) and sriracha.. I devoured this VERY fresh meal. Washed it down with a black tea milk latte with boba..not too sweet.. perfect, actually. Their menu offers so much more, so I've already made plans to visit to try their apps, sushi rolls, burrittos, etc. Cannot wait to return!

    I was having a poke craving that day and this place definitely satisfied it. The servings were decently proportioned, I hate when poke spots short you on meat. The Shrimp Tempura was hot and made fresh along with the vegetables it came with. So much more to choose from that I'm sure would be great too. I'll definitely be stopping back here before i leave the area.

    Amazing sushi. The service was quick and efficient. The ambience screams eat here and the food came out so fast and it was so delicious. Definitely been satisfying. My sushi cravings here lately.

    I ordered a veggie poke bowl with kale noodles for take out from here and honestly loved it. The ingredients were fresh and the tofu servings were generous. It was my first time trying kale noodles and if you've never had them I would 100% recommend. They were light and delicious. The whole bowl was filling in a good way. I didn't feel heavy and stuffed like I do after a carb heavy meal. I can't speak to the service and ambiance since I had it as take out but food wise would definitely get again!

    This place is awesomeeee we loved the food. My order was Poke bowl - vegetarian - white rice , zucchini noodles, tofu, cilantro, ginger, kimchi, avocado, green onions, crunchy onions, seaweed, spicy Mayo and ginger dressing. Husband got shrimp tempura and chicken, w/ almost the same toppings and same sauces. Asked for a side of spicy sauce as well. Avocado roll was very fresh. The bubble teas were great, probably the best in the Somerset area as there aren't a lot of places that offer bubble tea here. Restaurant is very clean as well. Service was very professional. Would 100% come again.

    Food was so fresh and they offer so many options. The boba tea was really good as well.

    So happy that we came across Poke Star! To start, ordering is extremely easy as they provide sheets where you can check off each item you'd like in your bowl. This makes it super simple to choose. I can honestly say this is the best Poke bowl I've ever had. The fish is extremely fresh and flavorful, the sauces are very tasty, there are great topping options and they provide generous portions. In terms of ambiance, it is definitely a more casual spot. This is a great place to run in if you need lunch on a break or you're looking for a casual date night spot. Highly recommend!

    This place just opened recently and we have gone twice so far. Both times everything has been amazing and so fresh and delish. The staff is incredible and so nice and explain the menu. They have a great variety and are happy to make your own bowl to your specific taste. Today we stopped by and got the P6, P8 and P10, cream cheese wontons and three juices and bubble tee with lychee. Everything was top notch and delish. Stop in and give It a try. Get some takeout and go to nearby colonial park for a poke sushi picnic. Our new favorite spot!

    Not hugely impressed with the variety of toppings on offer. Ordered the Create your own - 2 Protein bowl with double portion of the Beef Bulgogi but I didn't find it up to the mark. The beef was really thick and fatty not thin / shredded like Bulgogi is supposed to be and I found something a little off on the sauces I requested - specifically the Spicy Poke Sauce. On the whole it was quite meh! Wouldn't revisit.

The interior is incredibly clean with plenty of seating, including both booths and regular tables. The ordering process is seamless, you can either head to the front counter or use the iPad stations for a quick checkout. It seems like it's a local fav spot for both dining in and grabbing a quick to-go order, since it was fairly busy when I was there. I went ahead and ordered the House Special Poke , it had tuna, shrimp, salmon, assorted veggies, ginger, and crispy onions (and of course the rice) . Although the digital ordering system didn't allow for any topping swaps or add ons, there is a comment section at the end of the purchase. To drink, there are tons of fun options like bubble teas and milk teas where you can adjust the sweetness and choose your preferred boba. The real star of the show is the steamed shrimp dumplings. You get eight pieces per order, which is very generous since they are stuffed with shrimp paste and served with a light, sweet dipping sauce. The service is excellent; the staff is happy to provide containers for leftovers, and there is a convenient self-service station for water, silverware, and napkins. Overall, this is such a yummy spot, and I'll definitely be coming back!

The menu had mostly Hawaiian options to choose from. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I had the customizable poke bowl ($15.95). There was a number of different options to choose from with different proteins, toppings, sauces, etc. I had a base of brown rice with avocado, cucumber, sweet corn, edamame, mango, ahi tuna, spicy mayo, ginger, wasabi, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro. This was nicely done. Everything appeared fresh and it was a good size portion. I would have just liked to seen a little more ahi tuna present, but besides that, very pleasant and filling. I also had the spam musubi ($2.95) and a side of macaroni salad ($3.95). The musubi was okay. It was a little dry. There needed to be more sauce present. The macaroni salad was a heaping portion, and it was tasty. There looked like a lot of mayonnaise present, but it was not too overpowerful as some type of sugar seemed to be incorporated to balance it out. Regardless of what it was, the salad was flavorful. Will I go back? I would.

    Been meaning to write a review for this place, and finally remembered to do that today…read more So, first off, this is a chain, but don't let that be the reason you don't go. Second, despite the name implying Hawaiian-styled poke, it's really more of a sushi bowl than authentic poke, which, imo, isn't necessarily a bad thing. Both can be delicious and satisfying in their own rights. So, we've ordered from them whenever we're craving sushi-flavors + fresh fish. My go-to order is the Johnny Utah (sub for spicy salmon) and my partner changes it up all the time (but he mostly goes for a custom bowl). We've probably gotten food from them at least 15+ times since they've opened and the quality has always been really good (and at great prices)! The portions are also really generous. My one caveat is that if you do order from them, it's better to just go in-person because the few times we've used a delivery app, we've gotten some interesting mix-ups--nothing major and we're not fussy enough to go back and get the orders adjusted. We haven't tried many other poke places since we moved here and neither of us are a fan of the AYCE sushi places that seem really popular in the area (generally don't understand the pan-asian restaurants, but those are opinions for another day), but Poke Bros has been absolutely solid for us. Definitely going to continue relying on them for mid-week sushi-flavor cravings!

    Service is quick and fast. Ambiance clean and new inside…read more Food is all fresh ingredients. I got the half brown rice, half salad. There's white rice, brown rice and sushi rice so all different types of rice. All the toppings are unlimited. The premium talkie toppings are seaweed salad, mango avocado, and masago and squid salad. There are two types of tuna usually it's only spicy and regular, but they have an option with marinated tuna with soy sauce and it's really good. Then the dressings range from Ponzo to coconut ginger, sweet soy Sriracha aïoli and Gongchang. Also toppings are sesame, wonton chips, or crispy onion. It's conveniently located in the shopping center next to UPS store so I dropped in after an Amazon return so convenient.
