We ordered a bowl on Uber Eats, a large yuzu ponzu salmon bowl. It came with white rice as the base, topped with salmon chunks, seaweed salad, scallions, cucumber, onion, pineapple. The bowl had a good amount of salmon which was great as it was a large portion. The flavor was ponzu sauce which was quite liberally added making the bowl saltier than I'd like. Next time I would probably just ask for it on the side. The fish was fresh, rice was well cooked, and the flavors came well together. I would order again. We also ordered the ube latte as a drink and that was excellent. Wasn't too sweet, and the boba was perfectly soft yet chewy. Yum! As for Uber Eats, delivery was supposed to be between 11:30-12, but it arrived after 12:15, just something to note. read more

I really enjoyed my evening poke bowl from this place. I got a large bowl with white rice and salmon & spicy salmon for my poke protein. The food was all very fresh and delicious and the sauces were not overwhelming. The seaweed salad was crunchy and sweet like it should be and the edamame was fresh and crunchy. Plenty of seating inside, first-come-first-serve, in a comfortable setting. The service was prompt and friendly and I have no complaints about this place! I'm docking one star for portion size because I am a hungry person who thought even the large bowl was a little small for me, but I think for most people out there they'll be pretty full! read more

Ordered Uber eats from here and it was delicious. Full bowl and it had every single thing I asked for! Pokeworks does not disappoint. My favorite location is Somerville but I also frequent the Harvard location. Always consistent and better portions compared to loveart & other poke places. The extras that are free can't be beat (crab salad, masago, seaweed salad). read more

Pokeworks - Delivery poke (make your own). Came exactly as ordered! - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Such a great lunch spot when you are in the mood for a fresh bite. The poke is fresh, the flavors are bold, and the food is quick. I went with the Hawaiian with an extra scoop of ahi tuna which was more than enough for my big appetite. The fish was marinated with lots of umami flavors and the creamy sauce and seaweed salad blended well together. Tip - no need to place an online order. They have an assembly line setup like Chipotle where they build your order in front of you and the line moves quick. If you are at Brigham and tired of cafeteria food, make a stop at Pokeworks! read more

Aggressively mediocre. The fish is bland, the rice is dull and the rest might as well have been scooped straight out of a vat, for $20!!! A mindful trip through BJ's can come up with twice the taste for 1/5 the cost (well, per meal for 20 meals' worth). To hell with that nominally first world bowl of blah. Guess that's what I get for being a local showing up to get fleeced like a tourist. read more

The food here is very fresh and delicious!! The service is adequate as is the ambience. Overall this place is a great value considering the quality of food you get! I'll definitely be back!! read more

Disappointing. I usually visit another poke place in Burlington MA. I was in Boston for a drs appt and thought I would give pokeworks a try. I saw them on Phantom Gourmet a while ago. The store was clean and well lit. The service and food was... eh. Lots of rice, not a lot of seafood and all the fees are frustrating. Want ramen noodles instead of rice, fee. Want avocado.. fee. Communication was a problem. The server could only repeat my last words... seemingly not understanding anything I said. Sauce was another issue. The website lists "Pokeworks Classic" That is was i am used too other places. Nothing like it in the store. Only siracha and Serrano. No choices that are not spicy. My advice- it is going to get frustrating and expensive with the fees to not get what you want. Trying to order is a nightmare. Move on. read more

Worth the BOGO deal, but for $13 regular price I don't know if I'd come back. The portion size is kind of small and doesn't come with that much fish. Was very fresh though and nice clean modern ambiance! read more

Great food, solid price, a ton of options! Prompt service and more than willing to help out and advise on the order for those less experienced! read more

We love Pokeworks. My boys make me take them every time they are in the city. It's the freshest of all the chain places. Spicy tuna for the win with mango and pineapple. read more

I usually don't write bad reviews and try to give places the benefit but, jeez....this is the third time they have messed up our orders completely. Not to mention paying $21 for the bowl to be half full? Like come on, anyone who wants to go here....DONT...you're better off anywhere else. read more

Always fresh and great poke bowls. My whole family will eat and enjoy them! We come back again and again!

This pokeworks has a ton of toppings and they tend to always serve extra at this location. Love coming here for lunch breaks as a medical worker and treat myself! They also have a app to accumulate points and redeem discounts. read more

Pokeworks is really delicious! I really loved their option of being able to add green noodles and hijiki in your bowl. The ingredients are all really fresh and I liked how they mix up all the ingredients together with the sauce before putting it on top of the rice. I've never seen any poke place do this but I think it really adds flavor to everything :) The staff are all super friendly and gave me a great recommendation of this lychee drink when I was struggling to pick a drink from their fruitful selections. Their K-POP selection songs were nice as well. Great healthy option in Longwood and is a must try! read more

Pokeworks - Salmon Shiso - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

So happy to have poke in the Longwood area! But the price point is shocking... $13 for two scoops of fish and $15 for three scoops? I feel like I'm being cheated for my money. I like that they have a lot of options. For example they have sushi rice, brown rice, quinoa, salad, or noodles as a base, and you can even make a poke burrito. They also have a great variety of protein including spicy salmon. The fish looked very fresh when I went. Most of the toppings are free except for the fish eggs and the avocado. They have all the standard toppings (green onions, masago, imitation crab, edamame, wasabi, pickled ginger) plus other crunchy toppings and some other uncommon items like seaweed and fruit. The imitation crab was labeled as "surimi salad" and when I asked for it the server had no idea what I was talking about. There are many sauces to choose from and they offer light/medium/heavy amounts of sauce to further customize your bowl. The topping display was a bit messy and there was a lot of cross-contamination. Might be an issue if people have allergies or are particularly picky. I found seaweed salad in my bowl even though I never asked for it. There aren't too many tables inside and the interior is decorated in such a minimalistic way that it looks sterile and depressing. The idea of poke in this area is great, but I feel like it was executed poorly. read more

Pokeworks - 2 scoops customized bowl - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Love this place, happy to have one a short walk from home! Food is fresh, tasty, reasonably priced and plentiful. Burritos are well-packed. Much preferred to any other poke place in town. Like, Sushi Kappo's bowls are like $4 more expensive and not nearly as good (though, their other menu items are really solid, not to rag on them). We *did* have a small issue with our order - but the manager recognized & remedied it immediately. Friendly guy, much appreciated. Looking forward to coming back! read more

This place has grown on me. I like that one has the option to have pineapple and mango in your salad. The price does present sticker shock, however. They are constantly running promos. For instance, I got a free drink for posting a review from another location. My drink was meh. I'd rather have the money off of my $16 salad. It would be nicer if they had fewer promotions and save that money for lowering their prices. read more

Always fresh and always hits the spot! They have so many options and you can build your own bowl to whatever your taste buds are!

Let me start off by saying, I love poke ! At one point I was getting poke or sushi 2+ times a week. Everywhere I go, out of state, etc I always look for a new poke place to try. Poké works is a chain and was one of the first to offer poke bowls in Boston from what I remember, so I honestly haven't had pokeworks in many years. I decided to grab a bite from here, getting a customized bowl w/ two toppings, spicy salmon and spicy tuna. I was very hungry initially sitting down expecting to finish the entire bowl in one sitting, but I still had more than half the bowl left because I think that the salmon and tuna tasted extra fishy compared to most places I've had and it threw me off. The fish tastes warm, the rice I think was cooked with too much water as it is kinda mushy. I am currently typing this still in the restaurant and my stomach is not feeling too well. Taste wise, I think the ingredients are missing umami and overall doesn't have much taste. The fish being warm is kind of alarming as it means to me that the fish is not really fresh and can cause sickness. Service wise, the worker was attentive and helped me with creating bowl and was able to multitask with making the ubereats/other bowls while helping me. Overall, I wouldn't come back again and probably would head to sweetgreens or Bon me next door. read more

Absolutely love the poke here! They also sell iced drinks and smoothies which is great for the summer. The location is near a bunch of hospitals so it can get crowded during lunch read more

Generally I'm a fan of Pokeworks, as their fish is fresh and menu is cohesive. The flavors and selections work together, not something you can say for every poke place. However, as happy as I am to have the option of poke a short walk from work, this particular location is a bit disappointing. Both times I have ordered here, my order was wrong. It happens when you have extensive customized options, but once, they gave me tuna instead of salmon when I'd ordered the shiso salmon from the default menu which one would think would be easier to get right. Rice seemed to be a bit old on one occasion too. I feel that other Pokeworks locations I've been to have taken more care putting together a freshly prepped bowl. Still, I'll probably come here again when food cravings get the better of me at work. read more

I did a build my own Poke bowl with salmon and tuna. The prices were reasonable and the fish was fresh. Only thing was the rice was hard like some parts I couldn't chew it so I don't think I'll be back unfortunately. read more

Love this place. Come here all the time for great food and service. Great price too for what you get.

Love this place, food is always fresh and delicious! I always get the poke bowl. My go-to work lunch!

Really good poke bowls!! The protein and vegetables were so fresh, and the workers were so kind. Definitely will be coming again.

I used to get my poke here all the time but today I had the worst experience and won't be returning. They Served the rice hot and it cooked the fish and wilted the salad in my poke bowl. When I emailed customer service to tell them what happened, it seemed like a bot responded to say they could not locate my order information even though I gave it to them read more

Very convenient location. Should expect business to be extremely busy during lunch hours since this is close to major hospitals. Not many people were there when I first showed up so I didn't think anything of it. Food selection was great and everything tastes fresh. Prices are what you would expect for this type of food and being in Boston. The BAD: was in line about 11:40am for lunch. Four other people in front of me. There was one person getting everyone's food together one person in back doing dishes and another in back that I couldn't tell what they were doing. At 12:10pm still in line, the four people in front of me was finally acknowledged. During my long wait, I noticed that the only guy working was focused on online orders. He was swamped! He had about 12 online orders and they kept coming - could hear the register keep printing orders. The people that placed online orders were coming in but nothing was really ready. Most of the bowls were half made while he was trying to tend to people in the store. 12:25pm I finally ordered and received me food. The worker was calm and seemed to roll with the punches. Looked like this is a common occurrence for him to work alone. YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE PERSON WORKING DURING THE LUNCH HOUR RUSH. Food was great, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

I came here for the buy one get one free grand opening event. When I arrived there around early dinnertime there was a line out the door, which I expected. I waited for about 30-45 minutes to get to the front of the line I wanted to get a bowl and burrito but they ran out of seaweed so I ended up getting two bowls. They seemed to be refilling things on an ongoing basis so while they didn't have salad when I ordered they had replenished it by the time I was paying. Still, the service was great considering how packed it was. Overall, the two bowls I ordered were very good. I give it 4 stars because the price is a little high at $13 for just two scoops of protein (I got ahi tuna and salmon). Rice takes up about 2/3 of the bowl too. If the price was closer to the BOGO price I would be back more often. read more

I used to go here all the time. Especially in this time during heightened caution for germs they are a fail. The guy who is always there, pretty sure the manager...he touched the register and a persons card and did my food with the same pair of gloves. The Plastic barrier they put up is filthy and doesn't go far enough down to protect the food. I was so grossed out I didn't eat my lunch and paid $14 for my bowl. read more

I absolutely love poke works! My friends and I always come to grab lunch or dinner and the food tastes great!

Decent options, ingredients tasted fresh. Interestingly they have lobster for an extra $7 per scoop for those trying to experience luxury in Longwood.... Unfortunately, overall on the pricey side and the sushi rice was both unseasoned and mushy. read more

I had a huge craving for Pokeworks one night and decided to map my commute to Pokeworks in Davis Square when I discovered one opened much closer to me! I was so excited, I left my apt immediately and ended up having dinner at this location at 4:30PM. In general, I love Pokeworks because the ingredients are generally more fresh, the seaweed salad and crab meat salad don't cost extra and most importantly, having sushi burritos give every bite that delicious bite with seaweed and rice together. Pokeworks is a bit pricier at $13.85 for a two protein sushi burrito, a couple dollars higher than other sushi burrito places. The worst thing that happened during my meal that night was an entire spoonful of wasabi was plopped into the middle of my sushi burrito which I ate in one bite without realizing (see picture). Needless to say, it was a very painful experience for my throat, my nose. It was also one of my first few bites so the rest of the sushi burrito was ruined for me. The other thing was the sauce was not placed on the raw fish but on the toppings so the fish was not flavored. I guess this is the tradeoff between a sushi burrito and a poke bowl when made without as much consideration - I would be able to at least mix it in a poke bowl. With all of this said, I'd think the employees are still training here and hopefully this will not happen again. read more

The poke gods have answered my prayers and have finally brought poke to Longwood The staff was very friendly and I was happy with my Salmon Shiso bowl. So excited for a new, healthy & quick lunch option! Located next to the Bon Me, I wish I had known about them sooner, you guys should have "bring a friend" promos or something... They're pretty new, so app ordering isn't up yet, and they didn't have quinoa, but it's not a big deal and I'm sure they'll have those things in time. read more
