Pokemoto is one of Jacksonville's newer spots, and we are huge fans. This concept offers Hawaiian style, customizable poke bowls, wraps and sandwiches. Customers can choose their base, protein, mix-ins, toppings, and sauces, for a completely unique flavor profile, or choose from signature combinations on the menu. The two women working were super kind and patient. They walked us through the whole process, offered suggestions and recommendations, and helped us create a fabulous lunch. My bowl was white rice with ahi tuna (it was ruby red and kept on ice - super fresh and beautiful). I added all kinds of veggies, which got tossed in both the spicy mayo and wasabi sauces (they said I could have both!). On top, we added fried garlic and crispy wontons for crunch. I added a strawberry boba tea (again, on a recommendation), and this was the first boba I have really enjoyed (it's usually too sweet for me). The space is super cute and bright, with plenty of seating. Perfect for a light lunch on a summer day.

This was my third or fourth visit to Pokemoto. This place by far has the most options for a custom poke bowl, so I usually come here when I'm craving poke. This is a cute spot (I went to the Phillips Highway location) and has been almost empty every time I've been here. It's a great spot for quick service and a healthier option. The employee was very kind and helped me with my order. I ordered a custom bowl with tuna and salmon. I'm rating this business 4 stars instead of 5 because as soon as I walked in, there was a bit of an unpleasant smell (like rotting fish). I came in about an hour and a half before close, and some of the items were out in the open and looked like they should have been refrigerated better (the shrimp and lobster salad). I actually debated on leaving without ordering, but I've had so many good experiences here that I made sure to only order items that were covered, and they luckily were fine. Before writing this review, I looked at other reviews and saw other mentions of sanitation concerns. I know I came later in the day, but if the items were properly stored, there shouldn't have been a weird smell. I am really hoping the owners take food safety seriously, especially seafood, because some of the items looked like they should have been refrigerated better. I really do love this business and will probably give it one more chance, but if some of the seafood still looks like it's past its time, I don't think I'll be returning.

I recently visited the new Pokemoto on Phillips Hwy. and it was an afternoon delight. They offer delicious Hawaiian-style poké bowls and boba tea! I love it when I'm able to customize my bowls so this restaurant was right up my alley! They have plenty of options to choose from. They also combine your options and sauces so well that you have the perfect bite each time! You can also find soup, musubi, hot dishes, and boba tea on the menu as well. Everything was super fresh and very flavorful. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting again soon! How do you do your poké?

Food was very fresh! Make my own bowl with tuna and salmon! They serve a great portion. Also had the sweet coconut milk tea. Love this new place give them a try!

Portions were good but they definitely were not shy on the rice to fill the bowl. Loved how the sauces actually had flavor which is hard to find in JAX. The couple running it were very nice & attentive

Honestly this place was awful. Looked decent and the place was clean but the fish immediately looked a bit concerning as you could tell it was not fresh. The shrimp were sitting in a ton of water too. My first bite was immediately concerning as the tuna was extremely fishy. (Mind you i eat raw fish sushi once a week so it's not an aversion to the taste of tuna)! The salmon was stringy and then I found something hard that resembled a small bone in the bowl. That's when I threw it away. All I really ate was the rice and veggies as I was starving. Just hoping I don't get sick. The boba is also not good, hard and flavorless. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Boba Milk Tea with Crystal Pearls

Got the boba milk tea - it is the most flavorful boba I've had in Jax so far- not just flat tea flavored but also has a hint of refreshing spices. It doesn't have the thickness that some other boba places have, and I prefer it that way. Service was welcoming and quick, and the place is pretty cute- when I went there it was empty though. Convenient to grab and go if you're shopping in the nearby areas.

I have been to spend the night in Jacksonville and decided to try the Bearded Pig. Best barbecue,…read moreribs, burnt ends and great baked beans and macaroni and cheese. Anytime I'm near Jacksonville. I automatically go there. It is always very busy, if you want to take our call ahead and almost impossible to park, but worth it. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Came in to The Bearded Pig in Jacksonville looking for some solid BBQ and it ended up being one of…read morethe better meals we had on the trip. Right away the place had a great vibe, busy but still comfortable, and you could tell they take their food seriously. Marcus took care of us and his service really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without us having to ask. It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ.
