Horrible. Food took 30 mins to prepare. Disregarded allergy and served unsafe food. Food is bland. overpriced crap. Go to mcdonald's instead. at least they are quick.

Sam P.

Ordered takeout so I cannot speak too much about the service besides they didn't miss anything and it was ready on time so thats a win! I got a build-your-own poke bowl and it was very okay. There were a few issues with it. I felt like the balance of proteins to rice and add ons ratio was way off. It looks like a huge portion but I was left with a big bowl of soggy rice. These bowls are not a great value topping in at at almost $20 for a bowl. That is waayyy to expensive for what you get. The inside of the restaurant is weird inside. It looks like a storage unit for broken arcade machines. Not sure what is going there.

Very standard, good poke place. On the expensive side, but that's what you expect with poke, and honestly, the servings are pretty generous (even the smaller ones). The staff are super friendly and adorable, you can tell they have a very close work environment. You can make your own bowl and you pretty much have free reign of toppings without extra charge which is pretty great. I highly recommend asking for half rice and half salad as your base (it's just the right amount of warm and fresh). I really enjoyed their salmon, though their spicy tuna wasn't necessarily my favorite (too ground up and spicier than it was flavorful). I love that you can put mango and pineapple in your bowl, and I also loaded mine up with seaweed salad. Delicious. Don't skip out on the spicy mayo, it really makes the bowl. As for sizing, I got a regular and it filled me up to the point where there was a bit of rice left at the end, and I have a big appetite.

Loved this bowl from Poke Doke. I devoured this bowl. The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. The bowl looks beautiful and I can't wait to go back!

Overflowing Large Poke Bowl
Vivienne C.

The poke bowls here and the quality is actually surprisingly good. Currently, they only have take-out options due to COVID-19 and they are a bit slow if you order in-store but the food is delicious. My go to order is make your own large bowl, which can last me 2-3 meals (make sure to refrigerate it in between). I would highly recommend getting the salmon as they do mix it with the other toppings and the quality of the fish seems pretty good. It's also nice that they have seaweed salad because sometimes it costs extra at other poke places. Definitely get the Spicy Mayo and Eel Sauce, those are pretty safe dressing if you just want a standard poke bowl. Overall, not a bad experience at all. Do make sure to order ahead of time if you don't want to wait.

Inside
Mary Z.

Pokedoke is a great find in the loop! I was immediately greeted upon entering and they happily answered any questions I had about topping options. Although I did takeout, the interior is much bigger than it looks from outside and looked like a fun space to enjoy your food with friends. There's so many options to choose from, you could try a completely different bowl each visit. I really enjoyed my salmon and tuna bowl and can't wait to come back for more!

Strawberry and Black Sesame Mochi Donuts
Juo-Chin Y.

Finally! Mochi donuts in STL Thank you Pokedoke for bringing these amazing chewy donuts to us Mochi donuts were originated from from Japan and is one of the star product at Mister Donut in Taiwan. It was super popular since about at least 10 years ago in Taiwan. I never seen these being sold here in the US until recent years. It's becoming a new hit in cities with more Asian populations. I am so super excited that we can finally get them here in St. Louis! If you never tried, they are a hybrid of cake donuts and mochi, with a dense and chewy texture. Usually a sugar/flavored glazed will be applied on one side of it. This week, they have Strawberry and Black Sesame and I love them both!!! Not quite as chewy as I would hope but it definitely meets my standard and every bite is so joyful They have had Matcha, Taro, Cookies and Cream and powdered sugar flavors before. I think only the Delmar and Kirkwood locations have it right now. And they said you can contacted them with few days notice to customize the flavor you like for your event! I will definitely try to get all the flavors in the future

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken
Brittney R.

It's okay. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ- the chicken was cooked well, good flavors and a lot of rice, but the price of $22 with a soda was a lot. The gentleman who took my order was very sweet and informative, I had lots of questions on the drinks. They no longer have their mochi donuts & the place is just run down.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this location. The food is always fresh tasting and they have the best customer service hands down! Today I ordered and put a note in my order letting them know how much we love their food and thanked them for always giving us great service. When I got home with my order and got to the bottom there was a note on a folded back in big letters with a marker that said , We love you Sonya!! :) Enjoy your meal " How special is that??? It brought tears to my eyes. In a time when everyone seems so angry and people treat you like you're a problem for ordering their food we need more of this. So THANK YOU POKE DOKE!!! I look forward to our next meal with you!

Hawaiian Kalbi Short Ribs
Luke L.

Love this place. I think the owners name is Brendan? I've met him a couple times but he's super friendly as is the rest of the team. It's a cute casual vibe. I loveee the short ribs and macaroni salad. The poke is great too, but the ribs keep me coming back. You definitely should give them a try if you haven't.

Large poke bowls with tempura shrimp, soft shell crab, sauces, tuna and sushi rice.
Elissa H.

Was very excited for my first time here! The food is delicious and features fresh ingredients. We got two large poke bowls including rice, seaweed salad, tuna, sauces, tempura shrimp & soft shell crab. Nicely balanced dishes - freshness from the veggies, slight sweetness from the sushi rice, richness from the seafood & customize your spice level with all kinds of sauces & add ins. Higher price point than you might think, but a lot goes into these bowls! Probably would get a smaller option next time to be more cost-effective, but definitely recommend for all poke lovers.

Thanh T.

Been getting a lot of poke bowls from here lately. Price is great for the account you get, they really do not skimp on the bowls! Food is made pretty quick, never too much of a wait to pick up the food. And the poke and sauces are all delicious, I personally like getting the soba noodle base. They also have a ton of topping options available, only a few topoibgs have an extra charge.

I wanted the Cheese Fries with their Cheese Sauce and fresh diced jalapeños. I'm a jalapeño addict and was looking forward to trying them. When I ordered, the young lady cashier informed me they were out of cheese sauce. I was disappointed that I had to go with just plain ole fries, but they paired well with my, Teriyaki Beef Sticks. My fries were crispy and had a hot soft meaty inside. They were seasoned well and I did not use any ketchup on them. The Beef Sticks were extremely tender and the Teriyaki flavor was on point. I'll be back to try the Cheese ones. Gotta have my jalapeños. The service was fast. You can order at their counter or from a QR menu at your table in Tick Tock Tavern. Once your food is ready, they have runners who will bring it to your table in the dive bar. Overall, Buzz's is decent for what it is and that is a restaurant attached to a popular dive bar. They're an excellent pairing, making a win-win atmosphere for a fun night.

We began with the Caesar salad, featuring crisp baby gem lettuce, white anchovies, Parmigiano Reggiano, and garlic croutons. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and perfectly dressed, with just the right savory depth from the anchovies and Parmesan. For our entrées, we chose the Vodka Crab Pasta and the Verlasso salmon. The pasta was outstanding. Generous pieces of king crab were complemented by a rich vodka sauce, Peruvian pearl peppers, peas, and spicy breadcrumbs that added a wonderful contrast in texture and a subtle kick of heat. Every component worked together without overpowering the delicate sweetness of the crab. The pan-seared Verlasso salmon was equally impressive--beautifully cooked with a crisp exterior while remaining moist and tender inside. The haricots verts and fingerling potatoes were excellent accompaniments, and the lemon butter sauce added richness and brightness without overwhelming the salmon. We finished with the vanilla bean crème brûlée, which had that wonderful contrast of a delicate caramelized crust over silky, creamy custard. Our grapefruit martinis were refreshing, well balanced, and an excellent complement to the meal. As memorable as the food was, the service truly elevated the experience. It was outstanding--attentive, knowledgeable, and gracious without ever feeling intrusive. The pacing was equally well handled; we never felt rushed, yet there was never an unnecessary wait between courses. 801 Fish delivered exactly what we hoped for: excellent food, polished service, and a refined, inviting atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and an easy five stars.

Fancy fish! I'm not sure what I like more about 801 Fish - the interior design or the food!…read moreNon-seafood eaters were able to find meat options like steak to enjoy here as well. The space was clearly designed with the ocean in mind. Blue colors are carried throughout the dining room with the use of lighting, flooring, and decor. The architecture buildout is smooth and flowing with barely any sharp edges. When you're dining here, you're transported to a cruise ship. We made a birthday reservation for 5 of us and were very well taken care of. Not only did the menu have "Happy Birthday" printed for the birthday girl but our server and all assisting staff were professional and able to answer any questions we had. We were sat a a large, round table near the entrance surrounded by other tables and booths but could also see the large bar area and a counter that overlooks the open kitchen a bit where you can see the staff working such as shucking oysters. Our food was delicious! A couple of us shared the Crab Cake Appetizer and raw oysters before ordering Chilean Sea Bass, Scallops, and steak (not pictured). Sides were a la carte so we shared the Lobster Mac n Cheese, Lobster Fried Rice, and Mashed Potatoes. I personally enjoyed the Sea Scallops and Sea Bass the most! I thought it was an interesting balance of flavors to have Miso and Kimchi on the Sea Bass and I also appreciated the yellow curry style of the scallops. For dessert, the birthday girl was brought out a complimentary chocolate tart and we ordered a dessert special of Lemon Cheesecake. We thoroughly enjoyed our desserts and our server explained they have an in-house pastry chef. I'd recommend 801 Fish for any celebration, a date night, or any reason you're looking to impress or treat yourself!
