Had a very great experience here! I came for dinner and got a small bowl with white rice. I wasn't sure what to get for a sauce but thankfully Kevin was super helpful and got me a spicy combo that fit my tastebuds well. For those who may not be into raw food as well I saw they were cooking the fish for several people which looked equally delicious. All in all very nice experience. Clean restaurant and restroom. Will be coming back and recommending to friends. read more

This place just opened this past weekend. This is by far the best poke place in the Hampton Roads area. The seafood is fresh, and the wide assortment of protein, garnishes, and sauces allow for you to customize your dish. I got a smalln and my husband got a medium which was enough to fill our tummies. We will definately come back again. Oh and they have Hawaiian Sun drinks. read more

Came here slightly before lunch and was the only person in the place. There are a few options for protein, but I stuck with my usual spicy salmon and spicy tuna. The menu was quite simple to understand and there were lots of options for Veggies to add to the bowl. I ordered my bowl, and asked for it to be topped with extra spicy mayo/eel sauce on top, which I find makes a world of a difference when it comes to adding flavour to the bowl. The tempura bites at the end also add a great crunch for a textural element. Service was quick and courteous when I came, but at about noon... The people started coming in and it was quite the wait. Especially if you wanted a toasted protein since they only have 2 toasters. I probably wouldn't have been happy waiting in that line. Overall, the food was good... It wasn't the best I've had, but it is high up there on the list. I'll probably be back. read more

This Poke Spot is new to Chesapeake... yessss Chesapeake finally has it's own Poke Spot and it's called Poketastic!! They just opened a couple weeks ago, and actually had their grand opening buy one get one last week. My sister and I came here the first week they opened and at that time they were offering half off bowls, so of course we took advantage of that. Oh I forgot to mention this was my very first time trying out poke... I've never really cared for raw food. But when I found out they had tofu, shrimp and cooked roasted salmon/scallop... I was like okay let me try this out. So I tried out the tofu and shrimp with spring mix, and added all the other goodies and let's just say I came back 2 other times for the same thing!! I'll be one of their regulars ;) Small: 1 serving base with 2 proteins $10.99 Medium: 1 1/2 serving base with 3 proteins $12.99 Large: 2 serving base with 4 proteins $14.99 Follow them on IG, you'll never know what other deals they'll be doing :) read more

Needed a place to eat yesterday and Poketastic came up on a search of the area. Here are my thoughts: Food quality/price ratio: you're going to end up paying $10+ per bowl here (and that's for the small bowls). But honestly, the small bowls are enough. I'm a pretty big eater and I don't know if I would have wanted to eat a whole lot more. Atmosphere: Hard to say, times being what they are with COVID and all, we could not enter the actual establishment. It's open for pickup order only. Service: This is where I'm going to dock points from Poketastic. You should know before you go that you can't order over the phone or in-person for takeout. All you can do is order online at their website for takeout right now-- that's ok, I can't be mad about the different ways people are trying to stay safe right now. However, I didn't know that until we arrived, so I had to order using my phone while standing outside the place. Their ordering system told me that our three small bowls would be finished in half an hour. Now, again-- I'm not a poke expert, but from the outside it appears to me that the hardest work is done on the front end-- actually preparing the ingredients. Assembling the bowl SEEMS like it should take only a few minutes. But I'm not an expert, so take that with a grain of salt. When we finally do get our order, it's incomplete. We only receive two of our bowls, not the three we order. We point this out to the guy who brings it to our car, and he says he'll go check on that for us. He takes the two bowls, and then disappears for what feels like another 15 minutes (it was probably more like 10-12). When he finally reappears with our three bowls he says, "Got all three!" He gives them to us, no explanation on the wait, no apology for getting it wrong, just business as usual. Overall, the food's ok, but I'm sure there are better options out there. We spent 45 minutes and about 40 dollars (with tip) for a generally unsatisfactory takeout experience. read more

Quick, fresh, clean. Lots of options for add ons and sauces at no additional charge, and the staff are always friendly and quick.

I'll keep this short and sweet. I've lived all over the country, I've been to a ton of poke restaurants And this is far better than any other place I've ever been. The fish is fresh, the topics or flavorful and amazing and the portions are great. I highly highly recommend this place read more

I have tried a lot of poké places here in Hampton Roads, this restaurant is hands-down the best! To start with, they have a few choices for your base layer, I typically get white or brown rice. Next is your protein, they have options here for fish lovers as well as those who like cooked protein as well. When it comes to toppings, Poketastic has a TON of options! I usually get crab salad, pickled cucumbers, edamame, mango, masago and avocado. All this can be topped with extra sauce and dry seasonings. This equates to a full belly and happy me! read more

I like the setup here when you go to order, it's like a build a nearbear but for your mouth! It's nice to have personal interaction with the staff preparing your bowl. Other places have you order on a tablet and it just seems so impersonal. I hit Poketastic at least 2-3 a month and even though it's gotten a little more experience because of costs I will continue to go. The staff always seems upbeat and positive! read more

Fresh & Clean!!! The restaurant had a nice "hole in the wall" feel with a modern look. Nice outdoor seating. And a great staff. I went in to order a bento box or sushi roll but what I found was amazing. The gentleman was friendly and energetic. I couldn't decide so I asked him to give me the best on the menu. He asked what I liked and described every unknown ingredient with enthusiasm. I waited shortly and then received my bowl nice and hot. First bite was bomb!!!! I'm hooked and now it's my new spot. read more

Amazing poke! I ordered a "build your own" bowl with salmon and tuna. The toppings all tasted fresh and flavorful. I added mango, avocado, and seaweed. The poke sauce was great too. I would definitely want to try one of their custom bowls in the future. read more

Not big of a raw fish person but this place hit the spot! This was my first time visiting and the workers were very friendly and attentive. I ordered a small bowl to go but the portion was so big I couldn't finish. The quality of the food is actually really good with the mix of different options you can choose from. I chose brown rice as a base with tuna and toasted scallops for protein. Got a mix of sauces like spicy mayo, eel sauce, and Poketastic sauce. Added plenty of toppings like tamago (egg), cilantro, carrots, edamame, green onion, and toasted garlic. Overall was a good food experience. read more

Great service! They were super friendly and helpful! The food was tasty and a good portion! Definitely going back.

I was looking for something to enjoy as a cheat meal and this was definitely the meal. I have only been to one other Poke style restaurant ad that was in San Diego so I didn't know what to try. The guy preparing my food (I wish I had gotten his name) was super helpful. He recommended a signature bowl, I believe Tuna Tataki, and it was sooo good. The combo of the sauces, mango, and tuna alone were delicious. Thanks to Yelp I was able to get a free Hawaiian Sun drink for checking in. I will definitely return because my bowl was sooo good. read more

I am from Hawaii and know my poke. lol. Technically, it's a chirashi bowl, but it's ok. I am on the Southside twice a month and come over to eat here often for lunch. The first time I walked in I knew I was in the right place. The selections and service are top quality. The fish and octopus are fresh. You really do get what you pay for. I will definitely be back. read more

I'm a huge poke bowl fan but I've only found one place I've liked so far. This place allows you to order ahead if you're in a rush. A small was enough for my appetite. 1 serving of white rice with 2 proteins. They had a good variety. I had salmon and spicy tuna. The amount of toppings seemed endless. I added spicy mayo and gochujang sauce, which they mix it in with your protein before adding to your rice. Then I got avocado, seaweed salad, ginger, green onions, tempura flakes, and masago. The cashier was very nice and helpful. They have punch cards, too. When I got home, I probably blinked and my food was gone. It was absolutely delicious. I'm happy a good poke place is close by. I think the only thing I would like to see is suggested combinations. With so many options, a newbie might not know what works best together. It's not like ordering a sub. It's more complex. read more

Okay. Might be a little biased here but coming straight off the island and looking for a poke spot is difficult in itself. Service was absolutely friendly, just the quality of the poke is not something I'm used to. As opposed to the typical cube cut that I'm used to my spicy poke was minced? I never thought I was a texture eater until I saw that here. Wouldn't recommend to any of my island fam but for the mainland I guess its fine? read more

Poketastic - Spicy poke, tofu and furikake flakes. Perfect serving size, not a big fan of the poke though. - Poke Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I was hesitant to give this place a try because I had a bad experience with the poke place at waterside (food poisoning), but after all the positive reviews I decided to give poke another chance. So glad I did!!! The food was very fresh, the server accommodated my request for all sauces on the side. The only mark down I'm listing is due to the immediate first impression walking in, I'm not sure if they were having AC issues but it was very warm inside which made the seafood smell a little overwhelming upon entering. read more

Excellent poke bowls! This place has super fresh food, lots of options and great service. The seared seafood options are unique and amazing (I added the seared salmon to my bowl, worth the extra wait!) Highly recommend. read more

Walked up at 7:50 PM to a door that say open until 9Pm. The employee look disgusted to see me and shoo'd me away. Disrespectful, either update your hours or abide by them. Unacceptable read more

I went here for lunch the other day and forgot to check in. But over all the food was good. I had the large bowl (4 proteins) with spicy tuna (x2), yellow fin and tuna. All the fish was fresh and tasted great. The service was good even though they were very busy with a number of call ahead orders they were dealing with. My only complaint was for the price, I would have liked a larger portion, but I have to say I wasn't hungry when i left. Update: I went back for lunch the day before yesterday and again the food and service was great. And to top it off it seemed like my portion was noticeably larger, so I am bumping up my review from a 4 to 5 stars. Hopefully the second day was the norm, not the anomaly. read more

Certainly not authentic, however quite tasty and nostalgic of my days in Oahu. A decent array of toppings although the best way to have poke is a simplistic as possible. I preface this review with years of being a Pome enthusiast, and 4 years of eating local Hawai'i Poke...NOTHING has come close! The meat choices: typical, spicy, ahi, and salmon...additionally, chicken and tofu bring some diversity however, not necessary - but I get the fact that it may be appealing to a broader customer base. Quality: I opted for the ahi and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was pretty good; the ahi however, seemed either not a good quality grade or was overly handled and/or cut with a dull knife. It seemed to be too mushy and not firm with a good meaty bite that quality ahi has. Maybe it wasn't cold enough? IDK...just didn't seem to measure up to authentic Poke. I was impressed with the sauce and toppings selection but disappointed that there wasn't a ginger sauce or sesame seed topping. I'd definitely come back, when my taste buds next long for a glimpse of nostalgia...I may try and visit soon for another shot; this initial visit did not do Poke' any favors. read more

Please make sure your delivery drivers bring all the condiments that is asked for. I asked for extra soy sauce and receive one half full one for a medium bowl. I wish I could change my tip amount. read more

Great lunch spot! Love the pick your stuff model, so glad to see it with sushi! I have had the tuna and the salmon. I always go light on the rice, as they put a lot of that as a base. read more

Simple fresh ingredients in a clean restaurant, enough seating and parking and I'm all in. The staff here is goin and fun. Great lively personalities. The poke bowls are enough to fill any belly and they are tasty to boot. Add your own spin and sauce it as you like. No poke police here to tell you that's not the way. I love that they do stamp cards. It's like personal "see how much poke you can eat" challenge to get a free bowl of fresh yummy mainland style poke bowl. Happy Eating Yeeps!! read more

Was just passing through on the way to the airport, but glad we decided to stop off here for a quick lunch. Loved the variety of toppings (especially the lotus root and tamago!) and that the portion is actually satisfying And reasonably priced. The best part is that there are no limits on toppings with no additional charge (with the exception of avocado, which is $1 more). Most poke places will fill the bowl with rice and other fillers instead of actual fish, but they don't do that here. Appreciated the good portion of fresh tasty fish and if I had more time in Norfolk, would def be back. read more

Found my new favorite poke place. There's not that many to begin with around the area, and they're honestly very overpriced. Poketastic has the best deal for the amount of protein and size of the bowl. Their medium is as big as a large for other poke places, but at a better price. They also have a very large selection of toppings, sauces, and protein compared to their competitors. Can't wait to try more. read more

Excellent service, wide range of toppings and sauces to pick from, nice atmosphere, delicious food!

Worst customer from the manager ever Due to virus I had to order on line. My food was deliverers to Me at the door. I get back to work and there was no sauce and and they forgot my avocado. I called and spoke to the person and she asked me what did I want her to do. I was appalled. Fist she said I could bring my bowl back there for extra sauce. I said ma'am I'm at work and can't come back due to me being at work. So she asked me well what do u want me to do. Then I asked to speak to the manager and he was just as rude and tried to explain to me that the sauce was at the bottom more than likely and he seriously doubted that their was no sauce in my bowl. He said that I could bring my bowl back, which I had already eaten because I was on my lunch break. Then he said he would bring me a bowl but I would have to give the other bowl back. I attempted to explain that I had already eaten. I will never go there again. I'm so disappointed. He could have easily said I could get a new bowl at my next visit. However, I never been treated this way from an employee as well as a manager. This is my first review and that's how upset I was. So disappointed. read more

Poketastic - My delicious poke all mixed up and ready to be devoured! Haha - Poke Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Maybe I'm spoiled by "Pokey" in DT Norfolk, maybe I showed up on an off day 55 minutes before it closed for the night, but Poketastic left me wanting. Menu was confusing enough that the girl making the bowl was unsure on many of the ingredients, and the mix-ins themselves were weak at best. $15 later I walked out with a bowl of mostly rice, some bland and dry veggies, and a scoop of overly aggressive goopy "wasabi" to accompany my minuscule amounts of PROTEIN. Not the best but if you're feeling poke and you enjoy quality and taste as found in beverages such as Pabst Blue Ribbon, empty your wallet here. read more

Excellent poke and quick friendly service. They also have several GF sauce choices. I only wish they had more low carb options like zucchini noodles. Stopped there on a whim as was not disappointed. The staff was very helpful. And the poke was awesome. read more
