Pokéworks in Annandale has been one of my absolute go tospots since July 31. I've found myself here at least once a day, and honestly more often twice a day, because the food is that consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The variety of proteins, toppings, and sauces makes it easy to mix things up, and the quality is always spot on. The staff here has been friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. It really does suck that this location is closing down, because it has become part of my routine and a place I genuinely look forward to. I truly hope Pokéworks opens up another location nearby soon, because it's a concept and quality that the area needs. read more

Love me some Poke! I always feel good & healthy when I eat here & am pleasantly full! Ahi tuna is my jam & I like that I can Poke my way & switch up my tuna & fixins depending on my vibes. You can choose from one of their pre-made bowl recipes or you can create your own bowl. You choose your flaves on everything from the type of fish you want (there's a chicken option for the non-seafood peeps), the base of white or brown rice, kale noodles, or salad and toppings that you can add to your bowl from fish eggs to fried onions, and there is a nice variety of sauces to choose from as well. Tommy & all the staff have been amazing - excellent customer service! They also offer takeout & delivery- BONUS! It's located inside The Block, which is one of our favorite spots BUT IT'S CLOSING AT THE END OF AUGUST 2025 to build apartments - BOOOOO! lol so get your fix while you can peeps! So sad... read more

Solid poke, got the spicy ahi (tuna) with all the works. It tasted fresh and tasty, and comparable to any good poke spot in area. I could eat that marinated tuna twice a week easily haha. Line was super short luckily so I got my food in under 3 mins. Vibes are loud since you're in a food hall but it's cool. Glad to have had them. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

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. read more

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. read more

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 :( read more

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". read more

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. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Bowl Regular - with tofu and spicy salmon and sriracha aioli - Poke Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pokeworks - Double spicy salmon - Poke Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

The fish here is fresh and I appreciate that they are larger chunks. They have a great selection of toppings and sauces to customize your bowl just the way you like it. I think they give you a nice portions of protein and when you add all the toppings and sauces with it, it makes the perfect ratio with the amount of rice you get. I can always make this two meals and for the price I can't complain! Pokeworks has always been a staple for me in the Annandale area and I am glad to see that the quality has been consistent all these years. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pokeworks is hands down one of my favorite spots for a quick, fresh, and satisfying meal. The quality of the food is outstanding everything tastes super fresh, from the fish to the veggies, and you can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The portions are generous, and I love that you can customize your bowl exactly the way you like it with so many options. The customer service is just as great as the food. The staff is always friendly, patient, and willing to make recommendations if you're not sure what to order. They really make you feel welcome, and the overall vibe of the place is upbeat and inviting. If you're looking for healthy, flavorful food that doesn't compromise on quality, Pokeworks is the place to go. Consistently excellent every time! read more

Best poke I've ever had in the DMV, and very reasonable price. Lots of choices of toppings and extremely fresh. Wish they had fountain sodas, though. read more

The perfect fix for my poke craving! Came here today for lunch and had a poke bowl with salmon, tuna and all my favorite toppings (edamame, seaweed salad, ginger, corn, lobster salad, scallion) and their house sauce! Everything was so fresh, flavorful and delicious! It was a bit pricey but worth it, imo! Will be back soon - I am sure! read more

Great fast-casual option when you want something healthier yet still tasty. Kinda like Sweetgreen or Cava but a bit more exotic and seafood-focused (although there are chicken and tofu options). You can make your own custom bowl with salad, rice, yummy kale noodles, or some combination of these things as your base and then interesting ingredients added in (e.g., seaweed, pineapple). I've felt a bit overwhelmed at all the options so ordered two different "signature" bowls in recent days and they were both great. Kinda obsessed with this place right now... Oh Yelp wants me to say something about the service so I'll say that the staff are authentically friendly and fast and efficient. read more

Pokeworks is our favorite place for poke even though seating is not always guaranteed and the block can be noisy.  The fish is always fresh and tasty and there are so many add ons to, well, add on.  My bowl is always happilyboverflowing by the time I get to the register!  Why settle for just brown rice when  you can have that and spring mix and kale noodles when they have them?  The servers never give you side eye for choosing just about everything.  The choices of added crispy crunchies alone have to make you smile.  The block is a bustling place and it is not always easy to find a table or to hear the conversation of friends and family.  But, it is a fun location with good food and plenty of parking.  We will continue to fight the crowds for these delicious poke bowls brimming with flavor and just about everything but the kitchen sink that you can choose to put in. read more

ORDER Poke Bowl - white rice, spicy salmon, salmon, shrimp, seaweed salad, sweet onions, cucumber, sweet shoyu sauce, onion crisps Overall the poke bowl was good! I don't know if it's just me, but the seaweed salad was really good without any fishiness. The ingredients are overall fresh and have good flavor. VIBES Since it is inside the block, the place is definitely louder. Pokeworks got particularly busy a little after noon. SERVICE The service was overall average. For a large bowl, my brother got a lot larger portion than I did so it was kind of disappointing. Additionally, there were not a lot of ingredients available (which is probably due to a supply shortage so I will not factor that into the rating as much). read more

Hearty and fresh! The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was flavorful. Service was helpful and courteous throughout the selection. Parking was plentiful as it is shared in a center with other businesses. The restaurant is located in The Block, which can be very busy at certain times and days if the week. A fun atmosphere all around and a must visit! Will definitely be back! Enjoy! read more

The food was delicious! They were crazy busy though so I don't recommend going on a Friday night.

I wanted to update this. For me, when a restaurant fixes what my issues were, they deserve an update! I waited a few months to make sure it wasn't a fluke, so I can now with confidence add my previous star back. I have eaten here several times now, and I have had none of the issues I previously experienced. Which thrills me because darnit I really loved their food. And I love it again. Yay! read more

My favorite poke spot located in one of the coolest Asian beer halls/food halls I've ever been to. The portion sizes are generous, the food is always fresh, and the customer service is always great. I bring all my friends here and probably come at least once a week. I love that they have a rewards program! Whenever I order online for pickup it'll say that it will be ready in 20 mins- every time it's always ready early which is always a nice surprise in this area. 10/10 recommend read more

Pokeworks - Spicy tuna, spicy salmon make your own poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

It saddens me to write this, but my daughter and I are DONE with Pokeworks in Annandale VA. They used to have some of the best poke around here, but those days are over. The continually screw up our DoorDash orders and today was the final straw. In today's order, they only sent one of two bowls and royally screwed up the one bowl we did receive. They put what I wanted into my daughter's bowl and then left out her regular salmon and gave her all SPICY salmon. She could NOT eat it. They also did not include the soup we ordered, it was missing completely. They've screwed up our orders for the last time; we're DONE with these incompetent fools. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS RESTAURANT! read more

First time back in years. They advertise free avocado right next to the register. But they no longer have avocado. So it's false advertising. They just opened for the day. So hard to believe they're out of something already. The Asian employee was polite and helpful. The dark skinned middle eastern employee was dismissive and rude. Unfortunately both of them will be out of a job at the end of the month when this places goes out of business and is demolished to build a multi family housing building in its place. Not a hawaiian place but still better hawaiian style than L&L hawaiian down the street, which will still be here next month. read more

Another station at The Block, which is currently open for takeout orders (either pick up or order there). Really enjoyed my poke bowl. my friend also had a poke-burrito which she thoroughly enjoyed. I got the spicy salmon and ahi tuna as my two proteins. I appreciated the build your own, which tasted great and allowed for a generous helping of a variety of toppings, as you can see from my photo (which hides the proteins hah). I recommend !!! Thanks for the great bowl! read more

Love this place! Definitely one of my favorite go to items when i'm looking to order something quickly. Whenever I've gone, I typically order a bowl. I think the Regular size is extremely filling (2 proteins). I ordered the Large (3 proteins) one time and it was too much for me. I got my base as Organic Brown Rice and my proteins as Spicy Ahi Tuna and Salmon. I loved that the spicy ahi tuna had like a creamy sauce on it. For my mix-in I add blanched Kale, cucumbers, edamame, both types of seaweed and sweet onion. For the flavor, i enjoyed umami Shoyu. I ordered the siracha Aioli once and it was a bit too spicy for me. Toppings i added avocado, surimi salad, masago, picked ginger, seaweed salad, and some shredded nori or onion crisps for crunch. I love having the option to customize my own bowl and add as many toppings as i like. I honestly think any combination of toppings tastes delicious so there isn't really a worry that it will come out not tasting good. read more

This restaurant used to be amazing. It has all fallen down in quality sadly. The bowls have significantly decreased in size and I mean really decreased! They are absolutely not preparing the food right either so the service has gone downhill too, they add the wrong sauce now or don't add ingredients you paid extra for. They are constantly saying they are out of musubi at all times now; you're going to seriously tell me you're short on SPAM ham?! Seriously? The K mart is literally next door! I can't take much about the ambience since it's a collection of restaurants but that hasn't changed, it very much live. It is seriously sad to see such a good restaurant just drop their standards this deep. I won't be coming here anymore, it's just no longer worth it. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Burrito - Regular (2 Proteins) - Poke Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

What's that saying about doing the same thing and expecting a different result? Well, that's me because I keep ordering from Pokeworks and they keep leaving out items that are paid for! (See other similar reviews which makes me wonder if this is not accidental.) 1) Pokeworks is one of the few spots in the area offering poke burritos, making it a unique option locally. 2) The burritos - and other poke -- are fine. 3) However, my warning to other consumers - DO NOT order takeout or delivery as, in my experience, these are consistently incomplete, with paid for items missing. 4) What's more frustrating than the errors is the lack of accountability. The restaurant has been unreachable and unresponsive when I've tried to address these issues. read more

I received a message from Pokeworks to email them with a ticket number to "make things right," and received a free meal voucher to redeem at the same store.

I'm always craving some type of sushi/poke bowl and find myself at the blocks Pokeworks. The poke works staff is super quick and friendly and they always have the freshest ingredients. The fish doesn't have a slimey texture and it doesn't taste fishy. It's super yumms in my tummsss! They get quite busy during lunch, but I never really have to wait around super long. Definitely get a bowl with their salmon, ponzu and signature sauce, crab salad, seaweed salad, mangos, oranges, corn and some onions. Taste super tropical and I'm obsessed! And afterwards I head over to snocream to grab a drink too. Love how I don't have to go too many places because the block has it all read more
