Not a lettuce only base

Why is my bowl wrong every single time I order door dash? I don't think it's been fully correct ever. Today I ordered spring mix ONLY for the base got white rice? Missing sauces, missing ingredients. Not going to be ordering from here with how incorrect everything always is.

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.

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.

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. Food is delicious and consistent which is my type of place. With all the combinations (if adventurous) you've got options. From basic to loaded.

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.

Build Your Own Sushirrito (Vegan with Tofu)
Hannah K.

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!

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!

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.

Poke Bowl large. Order through the app
Jenna Maree W.

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.

My favorite poke in Austin so far. I always get a large bowl and that fills me up for the day. Super yummy and not a bad price.

Such a cute place for brunch. I been wanting to try this place since the last time I was in Austin…read more I'm glad I got to try it this time. This place does get busy due to how popular the place is. They don't take reservations, so you have to there to put yourself on the waitlist. While you wait you can order a drink. We didn't since there were other coffee shops I wanted to try. Since everything looked so good on the menu, we asked our waitress what's the most popular. He recommended the chicken & biscuits, cinnamon toast, & the b.e.c sandwich. I ended up getting the b.e.c. sandwich & it was yummy. The sesame challah bun was soft & toasty. The bacon was smoky & crispy. The bacon, pimiento cheese, jalapeño jam, sunny egg, & arugula in the sandwich was the perfect combination for a breakfast sandwich. The potato wedges that it was served with were crispy, well seasoned, & not salty as all. My boyfriend ordered the chicken & biscuit & it was yummy as well. The chicken was crispy & juicy. Paired with the hot honey made it better. The biscuit was fluffy, but I wished it was more buttery. Overall, everything was so good. I'm definitely gonna try the cinnamon toast & other foods the next time I'm in Austin.

We walked from our hotel and were greeted with so much warmth right away. We were seated instantly and had the sweetest server, Sarah, who was incredibly helpful and attentive the entire time! They started us off with popcorn which was such a fun first lol. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and they were absolutely delicious! My husband got the chicken & waffles with a side of eggs & bacon, and I ordered the chicken fried steak from the lunch menu. Both plates were AMAZING... seriously some of the best food we've had! Then they brought out cornbread and omg... SO good. This place became such a staple of our trip and we already can't wait to come back. There's just something special about finding a cute restaurant with incredible food and even better service. Definitely one of those places that leaves you wanting more!

Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.
