    Poke Bowl- Regular (2 Proteins)
    Tanni D.

    I dropped by here for the first time to grab a quick bite to eat. The restaurant was clean, and I was quickly greeted by a staff member. I ordered a Poke bowl. I don't think you get much of each topping, but staff is very generous with the rice. The bowl tasted pretty decent. In the end, I had too much rice left and none of the toppings. If I'm in the area again and hungry, I would probably give this place another try.

    Disgusting chicken plate.

    Disgusting. I ordered for a quick lunch. What I received was inedible- the chicken had been brined in thick black sauce- disgusting and inedible. The macaroni tasted rancid. I called back once I realized the food was inedible. Initially they did not answer the phone. I called back and Ana picked up - I explained the situation and she told me that they weren't able to do anything- no refund- no meal replacement- nothing. I let her know I had not eaten the food other than a bite of the chicken and a taste of the macaroni. As you can see in the pic, the plate is full. I asked for the manager- no manager on duty, she would not give me the manager or owners name nor an email to contact them. I am irritated and disgusted by the lack of care for the food they are putting out and the lack of care over customer concerns.

    This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite. The sushi burritos are such a clever way to get tons of fresh proteins and vegetables into a handy wrap-style food item (rice bowls and salad greens also available). The serving size here is enough that I walk away hungry without feeling overstuffed, but I appreciate the addition of add-ons such as a spam musubi (the only place around this area of Atlanta that seems to have these!), mango haupia desserts, Hawaiian potato chips, and miso soup. A few things I love about this place - all entrees are made to order, and the servers are always amicable about adjustments like asking for a wee bit more wasabi or polite asks like "Just a little more sesame seeds, please." The sauces here are excellent (my go to is the Sriracha aioli), and they automatically prepare an extra 1-oz container of extra sauce in anticipation of those who might need just a tad more. The service has always been timely and I've never wanted for seating while dining in. It seems like there's a frequent turnover of help, so there were times when I had to step in with instructions of amounts (like the time a young woman nearly added a glop of wasabi onto my burrito), but everyone has always been eager to rectify any errors and/or bring in other team members to help with tricky orders.

    While in the area I needed a bite to eat but wanted something that would not completely ruin my diet yet be tasty. Thanks to the excellent Yelp reviews I decided to try Pokeworks. I never noticed this restaurant before because it's across the street from a huge shopping center full of restaurants. It was a Saturday evening and parking was easy there was a spot right in front of the place but during busy hours due to the many other stores on the strip I can imagine parking possibly being a challenge. Upon walking in I was greated by a gregarious staff member. The restaurant was quaint and cute. There were several tables available for dine in and they also had a bar against the window for dining as well. I decided on the Sweet and Crispy Shrimp bowl mainly because my husband does not eat Poke and I wanted to share my meal with him. My base was the mixed greens and I added lots of fresh veggies, seaweed salad and wonton crisps. Can someone say Delicious! The glaze over the shrimp was tasty and not overwhelming. All of the veggies were fresh and the seaweed salad was a true hit. The restaurant was very clean and customer service was outstanding. I look forward to my next visit so I can try the Poke and Salmon.

    I have been here a few times and it's been great. Fast good service. I love all the options they have to choose from. My most recent visit was my least favorite. My poke bowl was literally drowning in sauce. Way too much to the point I couldn't enjoy it and just tossed it. Salmon servings were smaller than normal and the spicy salmon got lost in sauce. I will still try them again since I have had great service before today was just a little off.

    Came here for lunch on a misty day! Usually bouquet is not my first choice because I really love sushi. And something about the sushi, being separated, and me having to actually eat the fish on its own and sometimes makes me cringe but today I decided to try something out of my comfort zone! And I'm so glad I did. This restaurant is situated near the Cobb galleria, near Cumberland. When I walked into the restaurant, everyone there greeted me so warmly I knew I wanted to eat there immediately. The menu is really easy to read. There are six fixed menu options, or you can do a make your own bowl. The Choices that have two proteins are under $15 and if you choose to go up to 3proteins, it's just another dollar and change! I decided to do my own bowl because I actually hate reading menus hehehe . I'm so glad I came in the beginning of the day, around 1 PM, because everything was still very fresh and I'm not sure if this even speaks to the reputation of the restaurant because according to the reviews if you eat in everything is really fresh regardless of the time! Anyway, I ended up getting Double spicy Ahi tuna and spicy salmon. I got a variety of toppings along with white rice as my base. They had things like seaweed salad, cucumbers, kale, corn, spicy, furikake- if you're thinking about it on a Poké bowl, they probably have it. I really loved that. They had these Hawaiian aloha juices! The last time I had that was when I was in Kona, and I was so happy because they had Lilikoi Passion fruit . My total for my build your own bowl and the drink came out to about $22. I definitely will come here again when I'm in the area especially when I'm feeling really hungry I need a protein boost.

    Salmon bowl with 6 small water cups

    Good food and portions. Manager has a rule that you can't use a bigger cup for the free water (I don't know why, apparently spending $20 on a bowl doesn't entitle you to a 0.05 cent cup), but I had surgery recently and getting up and down over and over with the smaller water cup would have been painful and not really an option. So Andi hooked me up with multiple smaller water cups that I could use all at once instead. Thanks Andi!

    Make your own with salmon and tuna, avocado, masago, other stuff and the classic sauce with white rice

    The short: I loved it! The longer: it is a small place, looks like it does mostly to go stuff. You do have to walk all the way down to start and then you end closer to the door so I was very glad I was the only one there. It is like Subway or Chipotle where you say what you want as you go down the counter. You can pick a preset bowl if you are worried about making a good combination. I almost did that but decided to be adventurous. So glad I was. I got white rice, salmon and tuna, cucumber, seaweed, classic sauce (medium), avocado, surimi salad, masago, and onion crisps. It was awesome! The only thing I would change next time is getting double surimi salad and going heavy on the sauce. I will be dreaming of this bowl until I can go back and get another one. I will make plans for each trip to Atlanta to be able to make at least one stop here.

    January 30, 2021 Nicole had dinner here with me while I was collecting my Elite Week Perk and picking up a little hardware. She also enjoyed her Pokebowl very much and our little one had a kiddie bowl. All very tasty and super fresh. You just can't go wrong with Poke. For all the pescatarians this is a must stop.

    Ordered delivery which was pretty fast. Delicious every time I've ordered. I've never been in person so can't comment on the vibe inside.

    We went at 6:00 on a Friday night. Staff was wearing masks and gloves. We got the regular Umami Ahi bowl and the regular Spicy Ahi bowl (with half spicy tuna, half salmon). The ingredients were fresh and colorful and looked great in the bowl. I definitely think the fish is the way to go here. The container of chicken just didn't look appetizing. Small bowls (1 scoop of protein) are $8.95, regular bowls (2 scoops of protein) are $10.95, and large bowls (3 scoops of protein) are $13.50. Prices are pretty fair and portions are generous. I like that you can order a signature bowl but still customize it at no extra charge. There are some ingredients that do cost extra, but they're very transparent about it. I would definitely order from here again! Tasty food, fresh ingredients, good portions!

    I visited this establishment on a Friday evening. Parking was convenient and it was easy to find. I was instantly greeted when I walked through the door, which was a welcome surprise. I proceeded to order and since it was my first time there, I asked for suggestions. Michella was amazing! She told me about the most requested bowls and also suggested I build my own bowl. I did both!! I choose the spicy ahi bowl and I built a chicken/shrimp bowl as well. There are many toppings and sauces to choose from which I appreciated. I chose brown rice as my base which I was excited to have as a choice. I had fun choosing different toppings that I thought would pair well with each other. I was even given a taste of the ginger sauce before I chose it to make sure I would like it. The customer service was excellent. Both bowls were awesome. They were both flavorful and filling. I will definitely come back again to try out the various selections. Don't forget to try an organic tea as well.

    Great place if you're looking for poke bowls in the Vinings area. The bowls are about $11, which is just a bit more expensive than other poke places around, but they make up for it with their menu size and available toppings and sauces. There is a hand sanitizing area right at the door and employees are diligent mask wearers. The signs on the floor are a little confusing about where the line starts, but the employees will direct you. I got a half salmon, half tuna bowl with their kale noodles (I hate the taste of kale but I loved these noodles!) and homemade spicy Mayo sauce. The bowls were pretty fresh and the Mayo was unique, but very good. The drink station was also a huge plus. There were lots of soda options including a hibiscus drink and a berry lemon drink. I loved the berry lemon soda and would love to have it again!

    Don't bother with this offer bc they won't let you redeem it on your first order.

I have been driving an hour from Jonesboro to L&L ever since it opened a couple of years ago. My fiancé and I would always get the BBQ chicken plate with extra chicken (we wanted to have leftovers to enjoy over the next couple of days) and if I was picking something up for my mom, she'd always get the combination plate. We'd also get the spam musubi. The food and its portion size was always top notch and very generous. The chicken, very tender and flavorful and since we always ordered extra chicken, that box would be heavy and the chicken filled the entire section of the box! We'd get our money's worth. The last two times we went, the first time, they were out of macaroni salad. Both times, the rice was undercooked and the "extra chicken" portion looked like a small or regular plate. I'm a rewards member and I love this place, and seeing reviews by others about the quality and quantity of the food over the past couple of months tells me that it wasn't just an "off" day when we went - it seems to be the "norm" now, which is disappointing. Has there been a change in management? There was a man who used to be there sitting at one of the tables and he was always very friendly, greeting customers and asking for feedback. I have not seen him there the last couple of times I've been there. If they are under new management, it would make sense that the quality/quantity has been disappointing as sometimes new owners try to save money by serving smaller portions while keeping the cost the same. But then it doesn't answer why the taste of the food wouldn't be the same.. I don't know what's going on over there. I crave that BBQ chicken, but don't want to waste 2 hours (round trip) to go there and get the same as what we've gotten the last two times. The owners know what's transpired over the past couple of months, so I feel that they know what they need to do to get back to the delicious food that L&L was known for because I don't know if there are new cooks there or if the employees are being told to skimp on the portion sizes, but SOMETHING needs to change to get back to what they were known for. I'm rooting for them because I'm craving the BBQ chicken now and I'd love to go there and give it another chance, but I'll wait until I see reviews coming in saying that things are back to the way they were before whatever changes happened..

Parking was easy to find in a free parking lot shared by other neighboring businesses. L&L is in one end of a retail building, and people have to go up some steps to get to the entrance. If steps are challenging to L&L customers, they can park in spaces on the opposite end of the building where there aren't any steps. Counter service was friendly and quick. L&L is in a small space, awkwardly set up, so that if there's a line of customers either waiting in line to place their orders or waiting inside for their food, they're standing right next to the tables. It's not enjoyable to be sitting at a table eating a meal while customers in line are standing no more than 2 feet away checking out what's on your plate. There were at least a couple of tables outside on the side of the building, meaning you have to take the steps down to get to that area, or, if you're physically challenged taking the steps down you'll have to go all the way down to the other end of the building, and walk (or roll) where cars are driving (no sidewalk along the parking lot) to get to the outside tables. While we were eating, the line of people waiting to place their orders grew to about 15 (which included 2 families), and the standing room only area inside quickly got very crowded and noisy. I felt the food was pricey for what we got. I ordered the bbq beef plate and Martin ordered the kahlua pork with cabbage plate. The teriyaki sauce on the bbq beef had a bold flavor, but it was was very salty. The kahlua pork tasted bland to me. Both of the plates came with 2 scoops of steamed white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The scoops of rice were generous, and the macaroni salad was very good. We don't live close to Smyrna, so I'm concerned about visiting again with the limited sitting space available inside, especially since the weather isn't always conducive to sitting outside to eat a meal. That plus the overall higher prices do not provide any motivation for us to return.

We were then notified that our table was ready. It wasn't even 20 minutes, so this was great. The host took us to two seats at the bar. SOS is such a cool island type of vibe. They have so many different tiki cocktails that you can choose from. They are mostly made of rum, but they have a few other ones that are made with different alcohols. Me and my wife both got our own drinks. Hers was a special Valentine's Day themed drink that was on the menu, and mine was one of the tequila/mezcal tiki drinks. Both tasted really good! The presentation was just as good too! You aren't limited to these though, it's a full bar, so you can get whatever you want. They also have a few food options, but very limited. Our bartender, Heather, was super nice as well. My wife had asked (when I went to the restroom) if they did anything for birthdays, since my birthday was a few days prior. She did this cool fire presentation and gave us two little slushie shots. Awesome bartender for sure! SOS is a great place to go for some really fun drinks. It's good for groups, but keep in mind that they do get quite busy on the weekends! I'll definitely be back.

    Was in Decatur and had Dinner down the street so decided to end the night at SOS!…read more I'll start by saying this is such a solid tiki bar. All the drinks were very fun and taste great and range from smooth to STRONG. The attention to detail put into crafting the drinks is very admirable. I can guarantee your drink will look exactly like how it's depicted on the menu. If only I could remember the names of all the drinks I tried....oh well. What I do remember is that they set the Mai Tai's on fire so that's pretty cool. Service was also great. S/O Charlie! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. You're welcome!
