Being able to build your own bowl exactly how you want makes it a great option for a variety of preferences. If you're not into raw fish, they also offer flame-cooked protein, which is prepared right in front of you and adds a cool touch. They also have hot plate options with multiple sides, and the mac was a standout for me.

For one, everything is fresher; two, it's so much better eating from real wares than a plastic one, three, I am able to get extra sauces in-store if I needed. Both times I've been, staff provides excellent service and recommendations I am looking for. Gotta have extra spicy on everything! Their chili crisps sells out often too. I feel like that's the best one to tie it all up. Also can't forget about the fruit teas. Love it all! There's enough seating indoors so they never run out of space, feeling free to enjoy whenever I stop by. Thank you!!

The place is order at the counter, which your poke bowl is made to order down the line with a good variety of ingredients to choose from behind the glass. You can also order online too, but fees apply. There are also a few tables inside. I stopped by Poke Kitchen recently for a Build Your Own Poke Bowl with 2 Proteins ($14.49 plus tax) choosing a white rice base, spicy tuna, salmon, cucumbers, red onion, ginger, carrots, pineapple, mango, oshinko, masago, seaweed, edamame, spicy mayo, poke sauce, & tempura flakes. The bowl was put together quickly and packed up. The poke bowl I ordered was very good, which had a good mix of fresh flavors and ingredients. The portion was good and thoroughly enjoyed each bite mixing the ingredients with the white rice base.

Nothing memorable about the service but the food was memorable in a less than positive way. The rice wasn't that good on my visit. They are comparable in price to other poke places but not in quality. The poke bowl was a good size. The parking is easy in the lot. Easy in and out. The restaurant is clean.

We really only order the poke bowls- but we had to try the Mexican side once out of sheer curiosity... and it didn't disappoint. We ordered some tacos and a quesadilla (neither pictured, I forgot to post.) I loved the crab Rangoon, super crispy and very tasty. They also have a very good Thai tea- the large is a good portion. We usually do the 2-protein or 3-protein bowl. You can jam pack it full of fun ingredients- depending on which delivery platform you use, sometimes the ingredients may vary slightly. They also have a website you can order directly through (qmenu) if you don't feel like using UberEats- but it doesn't always work. You can always call your order in, of course. The food is always ready on time. Always fresh.

Poke Sushi is a friendly, inexpensive little gem. You can order and pay on their website or in person. They seem to turn around your order really fast. I had the Angry Blue crab roll for $11, with spicy snow crab, avocado and spicy tuna on top. It was SO GOOD. I also nabbed a side of veggie spring rolls (4) for $6. That was 2 days ago and I feel like I might go get another roll from them today. This place is a solid choice for downtown.

Just gotta set the time of pickup 10min earlier than when I arrive because I've had to wait much longer after the pick time before. My last visit was much easier because I chose an earlier pickup time. I find that the brown rice is the best! I always have white rice at home so it's a good change. I am so glad the customize your own bowl has new options and I can't wait to return again! I highly recommend their Sriracha Mayo. Can someone put me to the direction where I can buy that, I'd be thankful!

Great service, great ramen, overall great experience…read more Attempted to come to this place a few times before. Eash time, there was a significant wait so we tried someplace else. This time, we made a small trek during a slow time and managed to get quick seating. Inside is nice but a small location, about 20 tables and even with the off time most of them were filled. We sat and immediately were brought waters and dishes. The team is designed to be a brigade, with everyone participating in the service. This led to very quick service and easy access to a server. We got two ramens and a dumplings to share. The food took a couple minutes but we quickly had dumplings and soup and we took our pics and dug in. The dumplings were freshly made, loose but flavorful filling with a pool of sauce on the bottom for dipping. The wrapper was delightfully thin and the garnishes added little pops of texture and flavor which changed the flavor profile of the filling. Those were very good dumplings I got a truffle shoyu ramen. The noodles were freshly made, springy and a little chewy but a great sauce vessel. the toppings were plentiful, the shoyu pork wasn't the most tender but the pieces were nicely charred and sauces to be distinct in the dish. The broth started off as straight seafood broth, lots of briny umami but little depth. Once I mixed the truffle scoop in, the flavor really bloomed. Now the broth had an earthy, mellow base note which made the broth a surf and turf umami bomb. It was very tasty, and the best ramen I've had in ct. Price is not bad, $55 for two bowls, add on wontons for the missus's soup and the appetizer. For the quality, the price is really good for what you get. It's easy to understand why this place is as busy as it gets. It's a great ramen shop and worth the trek to try. Delicious ramen done well and fast.

Staff seated us quickly and were solid with service - orders were taken fast and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Menu had a good selection of ramen and poke, what seems like their specialty, and we both got ramen.

I wouldn't mind coming back if in the area again, but would probably stick to ramen just for comfort.

As soon as I saw homemade dumplings and bao buns hit the table, I knew this place was more than meets the eye. Fantastic pho, flavorful beef and stir fries, and the coziness that only a truly homemade meal can bring. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often, but we'll definitely be returning when we're in the area!

I'm back to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. They've moved from East Hartford to Andover. It's…read moreonly about 15 minutes from work. They've lost a lot of space and the menu is much smaller, but the place is new, clean and in a beautiful rural area. The last time I was here was back in July! For my drink, I'm having a Taro Boba Tea with warm tapioca. This straw is huge. This is very good! One tip is pull the straw up and drink the top layer of liquid. This will keep the drink tasting much cooler. For my appetizer, I'm having the Goi Cuon or fresh spring rolls. These are made with lettuce, basil, rice noodles and your choice of pork, shrimp, chicken or tofu. It's chicken for me. These are healthy! I would recommend having the peanut sauce for flavor and Sriracha sauce for a little kick. You will love the peanut sauce! These are delicious! For my soup, I'm having the Chicken with Broccoli Stir Fry. This comes with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, pickled carrots and a side of white rice. I do like to add the Sriracha sauce and the hot chili oil for some more heat (a couple jalapeño slices doesn't cut it). I can hear them (the wok) making my food and I can smell the nice aroma on the air! The food here is served real quick (not even 5 minutes). This is piping hot! What a huge serving! This is so good!!! For $14?! You just can't go wrong! It's nice and spicy now (the way I like it)! Not a drop left! It's still steaming as I finish it! One of the two original owners from the East Hartford location still owns the place. They also now have the highly-sought-after peanut butter brittle wiry sesame seeds. This stuff is good! I'm buying some (all if it - too bad suckers!) as gifts for friends in Maine I'm meeting this weekend. My sister also is trying the Mien Xao which is a chicken stir fry with cellophane noodles (gluten free). What a great meal here! It's healthy, quick and tasty!

I forgot to review it then, but after our visit today, I could not forget again because our waiter Miguel was so great. They have a large sushi menu along with many different ramen broth options, so there is a lot to choose from. For my gluten-free peeps, they also have a gluten-free menu, gluten-free sauces, and tamari, which I really appreciated. My partner absolutely loves bao buns, and I really enjoy the sushi here. Overall, it is a great spot with good food, helpful service, and plenty of options. We will definitely return.

We decided to have dinner there tonight. Rainy day perfect for a ramen…read more There were 9 of us. There were available seats and tables for us. We immediately ordered as we know what we all wanted. The menu was clear and easy to understand for first timers. Not me though. Been here before. I recommend the TanTan Mazemen - noodles no broth with fresh cucumber, corn, cilantro, onion, ground pork, peanuts. What an entree. Topped with fried egg. I also enjoyed the Kaliubon dumplings and my staple pork bao. The rest of the group ordered Kaliubon Ramen, chicken poke, miso ramen, and curry ramen! We all enjoyed our dinner! The place is in the busy area of blue back square. Parking is a tough one. Street parking or ramp parking. Sunday - you don't have to pay parking. The place could get very busy as they serve really good food for a reasonable price. Clean place and enough seats. Like i said, i've been here many times and i always come here if i crave for ramen!

I'm finally back here. The restaurant is Vietnamese and is located at 252 Broad St. in Manchester,…read moreCT. It's been quite some time. This is possibly the largest pho (Vietnamese) restaurant in the state (next to Pho Boston). The decor is real nice too. The menu is huge. There are a lot of options including classic Vietnamese non-soup dishes (one of which I am getting). Unique items include salmon spring rolls and salmon noodle soup. There is no music. That should be on while they're open. The owner, Pete, immediately serves me a huge glass of ice water with a lime. It's warm outside so it's very refreshing. For my drink, I'm having a Nuoc Chanh (fresh lime). Nước chanh is a classic Vietnamese limeade, known for its refreshing balance of tart, sweet, and occasionally a hint of salt. In Vietnamese cuisine, "chanh" usually refers to green limes, though lemons can be used as a substitute abroad. This is good! It tastes closer to lemonade. For my appetizer, I am having the Goi Cuon Ga (chicken spring rolls). Gỏi cuốn gà are fresh, non-fried rolls filled with poached chicken, rice vermicelli, fresh herbs (mint, cilantro), and lettuce wrapped in thin rice paper. They are a light, healthy alternative to the traditional pork and shrimp version, often served with peanut hoisin dipping sauce or fish sauce (nước chấm). These are light and easy to eat. The cubed or diced or minced chicken is a different approach I haven't seen before. Add sriracha sauce for a little kick. These are good! They do serve everything on styrofoam plates. Adding some ceramic plates would be a nice touch. For my entree, I'm having the ga luclac (also known as Shaking Chicken). This is stir fried chicken breast with mixed vegetables and white rice. Vietnamese Shaking Chicken (gà lúc lắc) is a popular dish featuring wok-seared, cubed chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and garlic, resulting in a caramelized, savory flavor. It is typically seared at high heat to create a crust, served over greens with onions and tomatoes, often accompanied by rice. I've asked for extra spicy. Let's see what comes out. There's always sriracha sauce as a last resort. This is more like it! It's served sizzle hot! That's a big portion! This tastes great! It's nice to be served by the owner himself! What a great meal here! P.S.: When paying, you need to go up to the front counter.

I have sensitivities to gluten, so the option for rice noodles was a great surprise. Something I loved was the additions like hoisin sauce, bean sprouts, and lime that you could add to the broth to make it to your taste. Additionally, the ambience inside was cute and comfortable. The outside of the restaurant is a little disarming, but once you go in, it's incredibly welcoming. The owner himself served our table, and you could tell he was passionate about his food. I cannot wait to return and try some more items!
