My favorite poke place in Austin! The inside is clean and well maintained. I appreciate all the different protein options they have, as well as the toppings. Good value for what you pay! The surrounding area is a little sketchy, so I would recommend eating inside. read more

I wanted something light and quick before a show. I got a build your own and loved all the topping add ins. Try it with the sriracha aoili sauce. I got it with brown rice. My boyfriend got their new 44g of protein bowl. He really liked his. We just had water but they have a different selection of drinks and your soda machine. read more

Not good. We had two build your own poke bowls and we barely ate any of them. The sauces were off putting and took away from the overall enjoyment. Without the sauce the bowl was dry and unenjoyable. The side Mac salad also had a weird taste to it. On a brighter note the poke bombs were solid, but not great if you don't like mushiness. read more

So the people who work there don't wash hands and don't change gloves I see when you walk in before touching the bowls that might touch your food after touching something else . I had to se and wait if they would on there own before asking . they given me that look like they want talk back but they didn't bc boss was there guess the lady owned the location and she didn't care if they change gloves or not between people.man said . I had to ask them to change gloves and only one man washed his hands after I asked him to change gloves bc he was touch raw fish and then was able to touch other things and I said oh no . You need to change his gloves bc raw fish then you touch vegetables, come on now . He did not talk much . Wow , they charge you by the spoon and that's not fair and then the set price on the Manu thing doesn't mean shit to them bc they add some price at the end I had to have a talk about that . Then the owner is not the nice person as you think should be . Charge extra . Not great staff . Need more who are friendly and not just stand around waiting for someone to come in . I didn't ask for corn I got corn in my food so messed up. I was upset . They were not taking my order right and o asked to be fixed and they didn't. I was speaking English they did look at me and started talking Spanish. I was not happy. Pay attention or learn how to take a order . It's a salad bar not that hard to take a order when things are in front of you . Need more training. How are you going to look at me then at each other like you don't know your job . Why am I paying for something I didn't want .i wanted available fresh avocado but all they had was brown avocado available, I had to ask if they had more in the back , they looked at each other and one person said waiting on the truck to come in. Sadly they didn't care if they have brown avocado sitting out and that's not cool. Not healthy and not appealing to me.one person said side of rice was one price , at the check out got different price before tax even . I asked them to be fair and tell me why and then to be fixed and they said oh we can talk to the boss and fix it but never ever fix it . I been here 3. Times and it's not great , not fixed by the owner or the staff not great. . read more

I think I found my new fave poke spot! They had many options including noodles, and they did not disappoint. They also carry several toppings and protein options they were all fresh and flavorful. The staff was kind as soon as we walked in and helpful through the process. The tables needed to be wiped, but I think we had just got there after their rush hour. I would have preferred they were located in a different area, because this area is a bit sketchy so I don't think I would go late in the evening. read more

I come here all the time for fast and tasty poke! This time, I tried one of their new Hawaiian plates, the Huli Huli Chicken. Compared to the poke bowl, this portion is a bit smaller and I was able to finish the whole bowl. If there was less chicken and more rice I think the bowl would be more balanced. Mac n cheese is not your typical American kind-this has a bit of spice, which I liked! If you eat the chicken before trying the mac, the chicken sauce might overpower it though. I really like the Pokeworks app for their rewards too! If you don't have it yet, download now! I get a free drink/avocado scoop pretty much every visit. It's the perfect place for fast, to-go food or you can dine in. Sometimes the AC is really cold though. read more

I love this place!! So happy to find my new poke bowl spot so close to home. You can build your own bowl with unlimited toppings, which I definitely take advantage of. My favorite bowl is to get half brown rice and half lettuce, with half tuna and half salmon. You can even ask them to torch it! I've never tried that, but was impressed to see the person in line in front of me get it! I added ALL the toppings and got the sauce on the side. I've also tried the furikake mac salad, which was delicious! I have gotten it to go both times, but the indoor seating is nice. Their drinks look good too, so I will have to try one of those next time. Friendly employees and good prices too. I will be a regular here. read more

This is my to go lunch spot in riverside. It is tasty, fresh and lots of option. Location is great. Bonus it is next to the Starbucks. If you never been in Pokeworks, think like it is like Chipotle, but you have raw fish :) You pick your base, than your protein and toppings Service has been always great. Team in this locatiom work hard and their work pays off. Inside is always clean and well lit. My fav bow is white rice / brown rice, salmon & tuna with medium ponzu. read more

Love this place. Get to order exactly what I want and since I've found the app, order for pickup. The restaurant is always clean and the staff friendly.

Pulled up to Pokéworks and probably messed up by not getting poke The spam musubi was solid, easy 7 out of 10 The huli huli chicken hot plate was mediocre at best, like a 5 out of 10 The mango dessert was bomb, 9 out of 10 for sure Might come back and actually try the poke next time but overall it was just alright read more

Conveniently living right around the corner, Pokeworks has become my go-to for a quick, yummy meal! I always order the spicy ahi-tuna bowl and it never disappoints! With a build-your-own bowl setup, I love being able to choose from a wide variety of toppings and customize my bowl just the way I like it. The service is consistently fast, friendly, and attentive. There's also plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your meal there. I appreciate their rewards app -- it's a great way to rack up points and earn discounts on future visits. read more

75% of the time, it's tasty! 25% kinda meh. I don't get the drinks there because I don't think they clean the machines enough as a gnat once came out when I got the ice... read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Great price for what you get! Many toppings to choose from that you don't see often or ever at other poke shops including lotus root, tamago, kale noodle, orange slices. I appreciate that they asked how much sauce the customer wants. read more

Pokeworks - custom Poke Bowl (Regular) - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

There aren't many places to get a solid sushirrito out in Texas, but Pokeworks is holding it down with an excellent jumbo sushi roll that always hits. Just get it with tofu and ALL of the plant-based toppings and it's a marvelous, messy, overloaded flavor bomb that satisfies any cravings. In case you need more specific instructions, that means: *Tofu (and some locations still have beet poke as a "protein" option; ask about it!) *Cucumber *Sweet onion *Cabbage *Shredded kale *Edamame *Sweet corn *Pineapple *Hijiki *Mandarin oranges *Cilantro *Serrano peppers *Seaweed salad *Pickled ginger *Green onion *Wasabi *Furikake *Thai chili *Sesame seeds *Avocado (extra but worth it) *Wonton crisps *Shredded nori *Onion crisps *Garlic crisps *Your choice of miso sesame sauce, ponzu fresh, sweet shoyu, umami shoyu, gochujang, or classic salt Yeah, that's a mouthful and a half. Now you get the picture. Of course, you can get that all in a bowl over rice or salad for a less chaotic meal. Don't forget to download the app to save $5 on your first order, too! read more

Pokeworks - Build Your Own Sushirrito (Vegan with Tofu) - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Used to be one of my favorites till they changed the bowls. Now I'm paying $18 for half the food. Half the meat and half the noodles I still have to pay extra for. Seriously disappointing that corporate is trying to money grab by ruining the business. I'll find another poke spot. Also the cut and paste response is pretty sad. Do better. read more

So good!! But I need to know why the lava sauce isn't available anymore? Honestly, when they had the sauce for a short period of time I was constantly craving Pokeworks, now I can't imagine ordering without it :( read more

I love this spot as a quick, casual, and reliable spot for a poke bowl. Although it's a chain, the fish always tastes fresh and everything is always clean. You go through a line where you can choose what you'd like the server to add to your bowl. They pretty much have free unlimited toppings, and there are very few you have to pay for (like avocado). The serving portions are also large. I can eat two meals with one medium bowl, so that's a great deal. They have an app where you can also get rewards and $5 off your first purchase with the app! The service is always really quick, and the employees are all helpful. It's never super packed inside, and you can usually find a table to sit at if you want to dine in. There is also lots of free parking as it's located in a plaza. I'd recommend it as a cheap, good value poke spot. Overall rating: 9/10 read more

Gone a few times and everything is fresh and great! I always get the poke bowl and the spicy salmon is really good.

Loooove this place! So great and delicious for a quick bite to either order inside or on the app. I usually prefer to order on the app and I like it because you can just select all the toppings without being rushed in line. Not that I'm usually rushed inside, but indecisive and take forever ha you also earn rewards with each purchase. Today I went inside for a 2 protein bowl with brown rice, spicy ahi tuna and salmon. Plus tons of toppings with lots of spicyness! The best! read more

Pokeworks - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Probably the worst poke spot in Austin. Literally do anything you can to avoid this place, I have never gotten any online order correct here like they intentionally love to put nothing in bowls. Go anywhere else. Even when you try calling to inquire about why the order was wrong, the phone will never be answered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

Poke restaurant with many options! I built my own bowl with spicy salmon and spicy tuna. This was the first place I've seen cream cheese at so I added it to my bowl but I didn't love the contrast in flavor. I appreciate how they toss the veggies and fish in sauce then add to rice. The quality of fish and veggies didn't seam great. I like a crisp and fresh tasting poke bowl. The service was good, the employees were nice but not overly so. The inside had a cute color palette but could have been cleaned up a bit. read more

My go-to poke place! The portions are big which is relatively rare for poke. I can probably split my bowl into two decent meals (or down a whole bowl in one sitting and I would be STUFFED). The portions and the quality really stand out. There's a ton of toppings to choose from and the poke is quite good. The store itself is also HUGE. I haven't dined in (yet!) but there's ample seating and the lighting is great. Another huge reason I will be loyal to Pokeworks is their app. I didn't realize it was a chain, but thank goodness it is! I have only had the app for ~3 weeks and I have gotten multiple deals. I'm glad for all the deals because the reward system is spend $99 for $9 off which isn't fantastic. But I went on a day they had double points when spending a minimum of $15 so I ordered two bowls and bam had earned almost $60 in points. Maybe the $9 off $99 isn't too bad when put into perspective like that. Since they have an app, you can also order through it which is convenient and I have used it on one occasion. Very smooth and my order was accurate. Maybe just not as full of a bowl as when I went in person. Lastly, the service wasn't anything amazing. I'm not too picky on service hence why this is still a 5 star review. No one greeted us when we walked in and we awkwardly stood at the start of the line while someone prepared bowls in front of us that were mobile orders. A second server came up after and I awkwardly started my order. I'm awkward myself so I don't dwell on that too much but it's something to note if it's important to you. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Bowl large. Order through the app - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've only got my food from Uber Eats delivery, but I'm surprised by the great ingredients and how delicious my bowl is! I just went to Hawaii a few months ago and was skeptical what kind of poke bowl I could get in Austin. I love the wide variety of toppings Pokeworks has, including Thai chili peppers that give my bowl the extra spiciness kick that I love. The crispy rice balls also give a nice a really nice texture. The large bowl isn't cheap for lunch standard, but I still consider it a good deal considering the high quality of ingredients they have. read more

Pokeworks - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've ordered from Pokeworks about 3-4 times, all delivery. What I like about this place is: the expansive toppings offering with no charge, the choices in your bases and the ability to split them, the sauce selection, the protein selection, and how you can customize how light, medium, heavy you want the flavor. I also love that they don't automatically upcharge you for seaweed salad or crab salad. Every time I've ordered it's been fresh and tasted well and assembled nicely. My one main issue is protein versus price. Each time I've ordered, the amount of actual fish has varied greatly, probably due to whoever is making it. This last time I got ahi and salmon, and I counted about 7 little chunks of ahi and not much more salmon. With tax and tip a medium bowl is running you almost $20, and the reason we buy bowls is for the fish- so making sure the portion sizes are adequate and the staff is consistent would be great. That being said, will order again! read more

I got the app and just ordered beforehand, got $5 off my first order. I like the large amount of selections here and how you can customize your bowl. I got a large amount of things that I like for under $11. I also think it's cool they can torch your proteins if you'd like. read more

I've tried to give this place many chances but I can't get myself to want to order here again. Everytime the fish has tasted "fishy" or "slimy". Today I had a stomach ache and felt sick about an hour into finishing it and haven't felt right the rest of the day. I also feel their portions are smaller compared to other poke places around. If it's your go to spot, great. For me, not into it. read more

Oh man I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but there was one glaring issue with the food. Let's start with the good and I'll get to the bad. The good: A plethora of customization options, my favorite was the tamago (egg) that isn't found at other poke places, the sauce was also delicious, and the portions were pretty generous for the price. The bad: I'm not sure if I came here on a bad day but the texture of the spicy tuna was very off. The best comparison I have is that it's a playdoh consistency. The salmon was fine but the tuna was very strange. I'll come back again and change my rating if quality control is improved. read more

Make it easy on yourself, and choose a signature bowl! I ordered the Spicy Ahi Tuna bowl which comes with sweet onion, edamame, sriracha aioli, masago, green onions, sesame seeds, onion crisps, and shredded nori. I loved how well portioned out the protein to rice ratio was, as it allowed the maximum flavor to really make this dish savory. read more

Pokeworks - Spicy Ahi - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

By far the best poke place I've ever been to! A lot of poke places can be short with their portions but Pokeworks gives you the perfect amount where you'll be satisfied at the end of your meal. This is one of the only poke places I eat now because it never disappoints. Every time I come here, I make my own bowl. I highly recommend the kale noodles base because they're so tasty and a good alternative to rice. I love how there are so many toppings to choose from because I'm obsessed with toppings when it comes to poke bowls. I love adding in the clementine segments because it adds a subtle sweetness to your bowl. Also, I always finish off my bowl with some lotus chips because it adds a nice crunch! read more

This franchise is my all time favorite! I'm so happy Austin has this spot open! The portions, the toppings, and the flavors are all amazing! I also like that they decorate for every seasonal occasion. I'm a weekly regular and if I lived closer I would probably come 2-3x a week. So good! read more

Pokeworks is my go-to quick meal since I live very close. I typically am able to walk in and order immediately. Pokeworks will let you order one of their curated bowls or will allow you to make your own with whatever you want at a (almost) flat rate - main exclusion is adding avocado. The food is solid - I'm not going to say it's going to win awards (we have some VERY fresh fish places here in Austin), but it IS good. And the toppings are also very flavorful. I personally really like the Ahi Tuna Bowl and add Crab Salad, Seaweed Salad, and umami sauce (you can chose light, medium, or heavy amount of sauce). For a quick, good priced, pretty healthy poke option, PokeBowls is my top recommendation! read more

My new favorite poke place! It just so happens that Pokeworks is across the street from one of the best boba shops in Austin, and poke + bubble tea is a great combination... There are a ton of Pokeworks in NYC, but this new location in Austin is far superior than the ones up north. I love that many of the toppings that would normally be considered "premium toppings" are free, so you can fill up your bowl without an additional cost. Their fish seems pretty fresh, and they have unique toppings like tamago egg. I highly recommend! I will frequent Pokeworks as my to-go poke place. read more

Pokeworks - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was random stop after a workout and it became probably one of my top 5 places to get Poke in Austin. To start off, this place is INSANE value. I paid roughly around $13 for a MOUNTAIN of poke & toppings. This was also the first poke place where the employee asked me if the base or topping was enough and if I wanted more which completely threw me by surprise (and this was free of charge too)! I got the build your own bowl with half & half, salad and brown ice with one scoop of spicy tuna and regular salmon. I had everything mixed together with the Umami Shoyu and their version of Spicy Mayo. Things that I liked: 1) Fish was super fresh. I like how the spicy tuna was diced and mixed with sauce and not the squishy kind that you normally find at other places. 2) They ask how much sauce you want (light, medium, heavy) which may seem like such a simple ask but this is the first poke shop that I've been to that truly customizes to this detail!! 3) Very interesting toppings, large variety. They had the classic toppings like seaweed salad, crab meat, masago that you would find in most poke places BUT they also have tamago egg, mandarin orange, and mini tofu slices as toppings too! I thought that they were pretty nice additions and enjoyed them a lot. The interior of this location is very nice! Super open, lots of sunlight, very modern and it's a great spot for brunch with friends. The only reason why it is not a 5 star mainly has to do with minor app & price discrepancy. Currently, they're running a promo where you can get $5 off your purchase if you download their rewards app. My friends and I went through the whole process but we couldn't find the code even after verifying & filling out all of our info. We asked the employee and they said that sometimes it won't pop up until the 2nd purchase or sometimes the first purchase depending on your luck. At this point, we had already spent like 10+ minutes trying to order through the app and figure out the code and just decided to order in person. Then midway through the line, we got our coupon but we couldn't use it since you had to order online. Biggest feedback would be to just be more clear about the registration & coupon process, based on the employee's response, it seems that it has been a recurring problem. There's also a minor price difference, if you order masago on the app, it'll give you an additional charge but not if you order in person. Tip for the $5: Download it at home & give it like a 10-15 minute for your coupon code to pop up! I'll definitely come back to this place and try out their torched poke option!! read more

This is such amazing poke! I recommend getting half salad and half rice to make your bowl extra refreshing. I love that this location torches your tuna for free, it definitely elevates your meal. 10/10 would recommend. Pro tip: download their app to get a $5 discount on your order. You might want to unsubscribe from their texts though haha, they do send stuff out quite often but their rewards program is worth the initial spam. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Bowl - Large (3 Proteins) - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very tasty! One of the things that makes this place stand out from the other poke places is that the they have highly customizable bowls and-- if you want -- poke burritos. Love the many many options of mix-ins and toppings. Fish quality is on par with most of the other poke places in Austin. Haven't tried the burrito yet but the bowl made me pretty happy. Ordered through Postmates and it made it through very well. Slight nitpick: wouldn't have minded a bit more fish in my bowl (or less rice..the ratio was just a bit off) read more

Ordered via DoorDash from their north location. The regular portion is generous and they didn't skimp out on the fish (I got ahi tuna and salmon) and tastes great. I've had poke burritos from other places where the rice is like 40% of the burrito, so I am very happy with Pokeworks! The mango dessert was also delicious, kind of flan-y with fresh mangoes and syrup on top. The spam musubi was alright. I've never had it before so I ordered out of curiosity. It was just a thin slice of pan-fried spam on a large block of plain white rice. Not horrible but now I know what spam musubi is like. read more
