    Amazing fresh fish and very fast service, they have such good prices for the amount of food they give you, and the block itself is such a wonderful place to go with your friends. So sad it's closing end of August :(

    We're been coming to the Block for years. Great food and good vibes ! Sooo sad they're closing end of August

    This poke is sooo delicious! I can be particular about my poke (as I previously lived in California and have had some of the best in Hawaii as well) - and I love this place. Highlights: - Fast service (did an order for pick up, was ready when it said it would be) - Large portion size!!! Hell ya!!! - Fresh tasting fish and ingredients in general I can't wait to return for more - and my partner wanted it again the very next day after we tried it, lol.

    I really like their bowls. However it is without fail they will forget a sauce. I have since ordered at least a dozen more times and I want to say every single time they forget one or both sauces. It's ridiculous. Bad service and they also sometimes give attitude if you ask for the sauces. It's unacceptable.

    This should be a 4 or 5 star review, but this isn't about the food. The food is great. The ordering process isn't that bad! God forbid you order two of something, they will only make one and then NOT PICK UP THE PHONE. Shouldn't be that hard to answer the phone to straighten these things out, but they don't. And they don't return calls. So if you're going to order, do it IN PERSON.

    Little salad and almost no fish salad bowl (missing mango, edamame, sweet onions and kale)

    Honestly it's embarrassing leaving bad reviews, because it looks like you are whining and complaining for something so little, but the quality of the bowls and the whole "pick-up" order system, clearly is not working. 3 orders in a row have been served mediocre. First order (3 weeks ago): - No toppings on my husband's Poke Bowl with rice (only the corn and edamame). - They did not pack the sauces. Ended up making some homemade teriyaki sauce for our bowls. 2nd order (last week): - Served my husband's rice bowl in a salad? (I usually order the salad) - Gave us a randomize button bowl: chicken and shrimp rice bowl???? (I'm pescatarian) so have to gave this one to my husband and I ate his spicy salmon only (he ordered both spicy tuna and salmon). Both these orders were placed through Uber Eats (1st one was a Store Pick-Up and the 2nd one a Delivery). Yesterday, we decided to have a poke again, because we enjoy the freshness of the fish, quality of the toppings and the creative sauces. I ordered through their mobile app/website for pick-up, trusting they will do it fine, yet another disappointment, after seeing they did not make my order right again... missed the edamame, kale/sweet onions, mango, little lettuce (had to chop some Romain lettuce and add some leftover canned tuna to pack it more). I'm glad I requested another sauce, since they usually forget about them... I will recommend for this location, to order to go in store, and watch intently how they craft your order so they don't miss horribly like they do when they are making the "online" order. 4 for Food quality and flavor 2.5 for Online Service You guys are not doing me a favor, I'm paying for an okay meal... I should not be adding to my bowl stuff at home because it takes the whole purpose of "ordering in because I don't want to cook".

    This was an awkward experience. The method you must order is a bit complicated if you don't want one of their premade bowls. The kids working here have W aura. They really helped me understand the menu. It's in a food hall, so be prepared to question your decision to order here, as there seems to be plenty of cool spots within the same room. I got mine to go. The edamame Isa's a bit hard. The tuna was under-marinated. But it was still pretty good value as the price wasn't overly-expensive. Probably would have to try a few other spots in the food hall before I'd say whether I'd go back or not.

    I like the food here, kind of regular here but the service is alright. I guess cos all the kids working here so they dont really care about service. Some day I got there the worker dont even say a word to me during our transaction.

    On a summer Friday night, we decided to go to the local food hall. It's a great vibe: live DJ, a bar, and a few food outlets, including Pokeworks. It's your typical poke setup, with signature items or a BYO: I always do a BYO. Great selection. Friendly employees. Quick service. Definitely worth a return!

    I recently discovered poke and it doesn't have to have raw salmon or tuna. I was able to order online to pick up. It wasn't bad but I just didn't like the flavors. Pick up was quick and easy. My only other issue was I ordered Musubi and it wasn't with my order. The receipt said cancelled but the staff could've made me aware so that I could've potentially ordered something else as it was for my kids.

    Just ordered delivery through the app and was ripped off. Ordered a large poke bowl and a garlic spam musubi. Spent $20 on a small portioned "large" poke bowl and a missing garlic spam musubi. Had to pay an extra $6 for service and fees on an order that took more than an hour long. Tried to call the place multiple times to see if I could get a refund and was sent to voicemail because their "phone line was down." Also tried to see if Pokeworks customer support had a phone number to call, but they don't have a phone line either.

    Great poke bowls, fresh rice, fresh ingredients, generous servings, fast and friendly service. Been here several times and I keep coming back! The dinning area is shared with other restaurants in what's called The Block; a food court concept. It's great food in a nice communal setting.

    I haven't been for a bit and they were running a Mother's Day special, 20% off...who doesn't love that! As always, they never disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. The Block was busy and it wasn't even noon yet. Food was fresh and kept well until the next day.

Found this place on one of the food delivery services and was pleased to see it was a short hop away (less than a mile south of Mosaic District). The menu is pretty condensed, but continues to evolve as this is a relatively new joint. That said, a small menu often times means each and every dish is excellent (jack of all trades, master of none)? I picked up the Cucumber Tuna Cup-bob, Cucumber Tuna Rolls, and Cucumber Kimchi. All were top notch - fresh, light (healthy feeling), with good flavor. Everything tasted original and the freshly prepared. The Cucumber Kimchi had a decent kick to it (spice), so beware if you're used to less spicy kimchi. The bonus and probably what sets them apart is their focus on quality ingredients (halal meat with korean food? unheard of!). I'd love to see them add an option for 100% grass fed beef as well. Overall, I'd take this place any day of the week over a similar bowl-spot (like Chipotle or Rasa. TL;DR: A fantastic fast-casual spot to pick up some healthy/light, yet flavorful meals. Take advantage of their current "grand opening" pricing.

The bulgogi cup-bob was wonderful filled with so much well prepared ingredients and flavorful. For a restaurant that has a motto of healthy food the food definitely doesn't lack in the flavor department. Everything tastes so home made. Definitely check out this hidden gem if you're looking for some healthy delicious korean food options!

For my first time, it was very hard to choose but I opted with the seafood combo which has fried fish, fried shrimp, and a choice of meat. The flavor is amazing especially the bbq marinade on the beef. The batter used for the shrimp and fish tastes the same, a little bland, but light batter not overly greasy. I'm not sure what authentic hawaiian food is supposed to taste like to compare this but I think the seafood needs some kind of sauce. Portion size is great, one combo plate can be shared between two people but u might want to have your own as you're eating it.

From skewers to shareables like the potato pancake to entrées like the spicy creamy pasta, I've been very satisfied with it all. But really, what tops the food is the service. We've had the pleasure of being served by some of the nicest people, Bruce the manager, Scott, Jack, who we now call Jack Jack, and Hayden. Need a place to drink? Chung Dam got you.

    A group of us wanted a late night snack after Good Friday service, so what better option than a…read morepocha? Chung Dam had pretty good reviews, so we decided to check it out. The interior is pretty big with two floors available for seating. The music was loud and most parties were there for the drinks and late-night vibes. CHARCOALED GRILLED CHICKEN - 23 There were more rice cakes than there were chicken. The sauce was spicy and savory, but nothing memorable. Chicken was cut into small pieces, so it tasted a bit dry. The rice cakes had a weird texture I didn't like. Meh. SEAFOOD PANCAKE - 18 Pretty soggy and not a lot of seafood (maybe one bite of seafood per piece). It tasted fine, but not worth it for the price. The food was just okay -- we can definitely find better seafood pancakes and rice cakes at other Korean restaurants nearby. Probably a great spot if you're drunk though.
