Pretty much the only game in town for Hawaiian style poke in the Bartlett area…read more Located behind Barrington Road, in a building shared with a Starbucks (with Drive-thru), so a lot of foot traffic, but the restaurant inside was not busy. It is the classic set-up, where you pick a base (usually rice) and the protein (usually raw fish), and enhance the texture and flavor by directing the counter person to add various toppings and sauces. The counter person was very friendly, giving us plenty of time to make our choice. She was also generous with the toppings, and I'm pretty sure she would have customized it anyway we want. The prep area was very clean, tidy, and organized, with each bin fully stocked with the prescribed ingredients. There is only one size, with one large scoop of fish and rice being the base, and it's plenty. Some toppings are extra: if you get the basic with tuna and no extra-costing add-ons, it is $12. I ended up getting a predefined bowl called the Da Kine (Marinated tuna) for $13, and it was good: nice mix of flavors and made it simple. Some differences from previous poke places we've been: -- they offer a sushi rice option, taking the same hot white rice, and squirting a sushi (vinegar and sugar) mixture on top of it. In my case, it didn't really add much. -- they have a premarinated tuna option, along with the unmarinated. Some places are now letting you choose your sauce spice mix first, and then marinating your protein choice for you right there. It's a bit more work, but I think it does add something worth it. The marinated tuna that I had was fine, but definitely lacked the absolute 'wow' when eating just freshly cubed ahi tuna. It looks like the Poke Bros are THE place for Poke all around Chicagoland, and they have found a good place to source their ahi and salmon (hopefully) daily, as good as can be expected this far from the ocean.

The green beans I believe came from next-door in fact, and there is a picture of it. As soon as you walk in, it's really cute and cozy and people are immediately greeting you and are quick to also sit you down, which is great. There are quite a few people already eating dinner as well as sitting at the bar area too. There were also lots of pick up takeout orders. This restaurant located in a strip mall, so there was lots of shared parking. Great to see a lot of of the Japanese chefs behind the sushi counter. We did not get dessert here as the portions were very fair and quite filling. A few of the main entrées come with vegetables, and one of our friends was very familiar that you could substitute the vegetables with some type of tempura vegetables, and I think this was a great decision because what ended up coming to the table was a mishmash of vegetable tempura, which was delicious. My friends also rave about the cocktails here. So some of us had cocktails and some of us had tea. The green tea here is a little light, but it's still very hot and tasty. We did not have any desserts. But would definitely come back here again.

I like that most rolls are 4-piece; and virtually all nigiri is 2-piece. As such, it is easy to try a selection of things. If you get something you don't like - not a big deal - because plates are small. I introduced my kids to sushi this way. Another advantage is that you don't need to decide up front how much you want to eat. You just stop when you're full. There is quite a variety - and generally if you don't find it on the conveyor belt - you can also order off a menu.

Sushi Station in Elgin is a fun concept, but for me the experience is more memorable than the…read moreactual sushi. The gimmick is definitely the draw. Different color-coded plates travel around the restaurant on a rotating conveyor belt, you grab whatever catches your eye, and your bill is calculated at the end based on the number and color of your plates. It's interactive, casual, and kind of fun, especially if you've never tried conveyor-belt sushi before. Unfortunately, the sushi itself is pretty forgettable. Most of what I've tried has been closer to grocery-store quality; perfectly edible, but nothing really stands out, and after a few plates the rolls start tasting more similar than different. If you're serious about sushi, there are much better options around. Service is fairly minimal by design since you're grabbing most of the food yourself, but it's generally efficient enough. The atmosphere is casual and a little gimmicky, with the conveyor belt providing most of the entertainment. Overall, it's a solid 3/5 for me. If you're newer to sushi, want a casual experience, or are trying to keep the bill reasonable, Sushi Station can be worth a stop. But if the quality of the sushi itself is your priority, I'd spend a little more and go elsewhere.

I was in the area and decided to grab some grub from the poke bros nearby. I ordered online and it was ready before I could drive across the parking lot - 5 min max. This location is really adorable and it appeared incredibly clean and well managed. The women who helped me was very kind and attentive. She had everything ready except the soup and poured that upon arrival. I appreciated small extra effort to ensure the miso soup stayed hot as long as possible. If you've never been to a poke bro's it's essentially like chipotle but with island vibes. There are menu items for bowl combinations if you don't want to personalize your own, but you can add or take away anything you'd like. I don't always go for raw fish so when I'm in the mood, I'll opt for the Hula shrimp bowl and it's great even with no customizations. There is plenty of parking around this restaurant and it's located near the CPK in the back of the parking lot by Nordstrom Rack.

It was completely by happenstance that we turned into this place. Our family was doing a little…read moreSaturday night "dinner hop," and we originally planned to stop at a bibimbap spot. But as we drove by, the sign caught our eye and my husband and synched up in harmony, "Poké Bros -- Hey, we haven't been here in a really long time!" So kudos to their signage being clearly visible from Golf Rd, because as foodies... that absolutely matters. When we walked in, it was already past 7:30 PM and the restaurant was empty. And not to pat ourselves on the back, but there's something in Asian culture about having "good food juju" -- meaning if you love food and love eating, you will draw in crowds after you walk in. My husband and I are both born under the Pig sign (take that however you want ), and I swear that within 10 minutes of us ordering, three different groups walked in and the place filled up to about 70% capacity. This is not the first time this has happened to us over the years, so yes... we're a little proud. Our kids are foodies too, so if you ever see our family in your restaurant, likely more foot traffic is coming your way. So the ambiance here is fun and casual, with a Hawaiian surfer vibe that totally fits the fresh fish concept. It also makes me miss Hawaii! Now onto the food. We really like Poké Bros because it feels healthy and fresh -- quality fish, vegetables, flavorful rice -- basically deconstructed sushi in a bowl. You also get good value for what you're paying. Most bowls start around $13 (there has been a slight price increase of a couple dollars since our last visit years ago, which is expected). For an average person, one of these bowls which is usually packed with ingredients to the rim will totally fill you up. We ordered The Duke ($14.50) which comes with tuna, salmon, and shrimp. Because we were dining with kids, we left out the jalapeños and swapped the gochujang sauce for the sriracha aioli, which isn't spicy at all and is kid-friendly. We had sushi rice which was well flavored with vinegar (if you don't like that, ask for white rice) and also added extra imitation crab for $1.25. At the end, you can customize with additional toppings -- we added seaweed nori, wonton crisps, and rice flakes for extra crunch. Everything came out to be about $18 for a bowl so you can get feel for cost. Service was quick since bowls are made immediately, and we didn't have to wait at all. The staff were friendly, and nothing felt off or uncomfortable. It's also nice that they'll give you a lid with your bowl so if you don't finish, you can easily take it home. Once we sat down, the kids went wild -- and they even ate some edamame, which I count as a win. Everything was delicious and while the toppings were cool, the sushi rice was warm and it was a great combination. Since this was our second stop of the night (yes, dinner hopping with kids is a thing in our house), we didn't order more, but we'll definitely be back. Years ago, my husband and I used to come here for date nights when our kids were too young for fresh sushi. Now they love it, and it's nice to be able to enjoy this together as a family. We actually use this place as a bit of a "pregame" before going to rotary sushi spots -- our kids can absolutely eat us broke (not exaggerating), and this helps take the edge off their appetite. I know that's probably a unique situation, but if you're going with kids who devour sushi like water, this is a great option. For most families, this would easily be the main meal. For us, it's a sushi-deconstructed bowl of happiness before the final round. Tip: Ask for a punch card. Every bowl earns a punch, and after 10 punches you qualify for a VIP card that gives you a forever 10% discount on every order. We're definitely holding onto ours. Not sure why it took us so long to come back, but now that Poké Bros is back on our radar, we'll be returning for sure.
