    the menu of a fast food restaurant
    Puddy M.

    Tried this place while driving through to the airport. This place is so good & I'll definitely be stopping by more often. The fish is so fresh and delicious! I love that they have some Signature Bowl options and then you can also build your own. It's set up like subway/chipotle where you can see all the ingredients and still customize your order. I got the Spicy Ahi signature bowl! So delicious and fresh!

    Did not know what to get for lunch so decided to walk into Pokeworks. I decided to get a bowl instead of the burrito--which I usually order when I get Poke. Concept is the same as in the other Poke establishments I visited. The portions are quite generous, and will fill you up for the afternoon, but are not too heavy on the stomach if you plan to eat dinner later. I like this healthy choice for lunch and Pokeworks delivers a decent bowl for lunch. I like it but I really have to be in the mood for it, or have no better option.

    Finally got to try this place. I gotta say that I wasn't to impressed but then I looked at the prices and I adjusted my taste buds to them. I don't recommend the sushi, didn't really taste good. I bought both options available and didn't eat half of each. The mango dessert is super delicious as with the miso soup.

    Enjoyed this. This is fast food sushi but it was quite spicy and good. Had ahi on salad with the hot miso soup. I liked it all and the spicy sauce is exactly what they said, very spicy!

    Service: **** Quality: *** Value: *** I have been on a Poke Bowl kick for awhile now. If you are looking for a healthy option when dining out, and you haven't tried poke bowls, then you need to try! If you want a place that is gluten free, this is a good option. Been to FreshFin Poke, Pokeworks, Greenfish Poke and R&R Poke. I would rank the four in this order: 1. R&R Poke, 2. FreshFin Poke and 3. Pokeworks 4. Greenfish Comparing apples to apples, I'll tell you why Pokeworks comes in third. A franchise restaurant, so local owned and operated. Quality... the quality of the ingredients in my opinion is just not on par with R&R or FreshFin down the street. The sauces are just okay. I didn't get that flavorful taste and complexity in their sauces and bowls as I did with R&R and FreshFin. Everyone's taste buds are different, so perhaps you will disagree and say this is the best. I'm just telling you how I perceive it. I don't know where they source their fish, but their fish didn't have the same flavor or taste either. They do believe in responsibly-sourced seafood as more than just a trend. Very clean and organized place though. Service... very efficient and fast service every time I have visited. Made to order so a little wait. If you are expecting fast food timing then this isn't the place. There is good amount of indoor seating. Most recently, Pokeworks has new inspiration for their menu with newest chef-collaborator, Sheldon Simeon. Sheldon is an alumnus of Bravo's Top Chef and the executive chef/owner of Maui's Tin Roof. He has crafted a series of Signature Works for Pokeworks which I have not tried yet so perhaps the rating gets better. If you have read my reviews and ranking for R&R, FreshFin and now Pokeworks perhaps you see a trend in my preference. Small one restaurant to local chain to national franchise....I prefer the small locally owned so their focus is on their business and their money goes into their business here and not a franchise.

    Thought I'd check out what everyone's talking about at work. Had no idea was Poke was but upon entering I was a little skeptical. Much to my surprise there were cooked options! Tried the shrimp with crab salad, avacado, kale noodles (omg those are SO good!) Portions are pretty small so I wouldn't say it was enough to satisfy my hungry stomach had I not had snacks prior to, but it was really fresh and flavorful! A little pricey in my opinion for the small portion. Store was clean and staff friendly and helpful for newbies such as myself.

    I'm a fan of poke so I knew I had to check out Pokeworks. They did not disappoint! I got the shiso salmon which comes with atlantic salmon, green and sweet onion, edamame, cucumber, sesame seeds, shiso and their ponzu fresh sauce. I also added a scoop of avocado, crab salad, crispy onion strings, and for fun, a scoop of spicy salmon. It was delicious and fresh, with all the different flavors melding together in a harmonious way! My husband got the Hawaiian Classic and he, a tuna-lover, was a big fan. We also tried the spam musubi, which is a little rectangle rice cake with a brown sauce, topped with fried spam and wrapped around the middle with nori. It was a delicious little bite. The menu is a little overwhelming so I recommend sticking to a pre-made bowl before you dive deep into a custom bowl. They also do not serve their mango coconut haipua in the winter, just the warmer months, which was a bummer because I really wanted to try it. Oh well - guess it's a good excuse to come back!

    Get the kale noodles as a base!1

    With so many poke places popping up in Milwaukee, it's difficult to differentiate where to go. I choose Pokeworks because you get more toppings than other places for the same price, you can choose a spicy salmon or spicy tuna as one of proteins, the flavors of the sauces are much better, and the best part - the kale noodles as a base. These cold noodles are just so good which makes such a difference than your standard sushi rice. The people behind the counter are always helpful and friendly. PS they are on Doordash so even better when you don't have to leave your house and it's fresh poke delivered to your door!

    The poke wave is hitting Brookfield. Pokebowl joins the expansion of brining fresh tuna and salmon bowl eating to the burbs. After what we had today, we will be glad to have them out here. The restaurant is very clean feel to it. White walls with wood accents give it that west coast beach feel. Seating is the same with wood tables and chairs. Plenty of space for everyone, with large and small tables. The menu is on the wall behind the staff. First thing to do is pick your protein and base. Tuna, salmon, spicy salmon and several others. Even a vegan option with tofu. Base is sushi rice, brown rice, salad or noodles. As you progress down the counter you choose the type of sauce. They have quite a few to choose from, basic to spicy. Then you are off to the toppings. Edamame and seaweed, cucumbers and mangos keep the bowl fresh. They several finishing touches to add at the end. The staff was helpful and gave good suggestions on the way through. Everything went very smooth. They came to the table to check on the food. Yelpers get a BOGO on their first visit, so bring a friend. They will be glad you did.

    Love! Love! Love this place! I can't get enough POKE and so happy new places keep popping up all over. This place is great! You have lots of options of how you want your Poke. You can choose a bowl, burrito, salad or noodles. You can create your own or order one of their signature dishes. And the best part is you can modify a signature dish by adding or subtracting items with no additional charge unless specified ex: avocado and macadamia nuts. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and asked if I've been there before. When I said I had not she instantly explained how their establishment works. I decided to try the spicy Ahi bowl. I got half sushi rice and half kale noodles. I was able to add some additional items to my bowl and also tried their miso soup. The soup was a little bland probably would not order it again, but the bowl was out of this world. Everything was so fresh and delicious I can't wait to got back to try some more signature bowls!!!! If you like Poke definitely give this place a try!!!

    I eat here at least once every 2 weeks because I am absolutely obsessed. I have had other poke in the area, and it doesn't compare in my opinion. I usually do a custom ''Poke Your Own Way'' bowl because I love having a ton of toppings! There's a large variety of toppings such as seaweed salad, masago, fresh fruit/veggies/herbs, surimi salad, tofu, nori, and so much more. The sushi grade fish is also extremely fresh and they give you a good portion especially for the price. Also, I usually don't get fountain drinks at restaurant, but the pineapple creme soda is a MUST!

    Poke bowls with strawberry hibiscus drinks! Delicious!!

We love sushi, but many sushi places are more sit-down restaurants with servers, which is great, but takes a bit more time. We had a 30 min window, so this looked like a great choice. This location is part of the Brookfield Corners Center. Parking was easy, in that they surface lot is right across the road. The inside dining area is spacious, well lit, and casual. You can either order at the Kiosk, or at the counter. First time here so we opted to order at the counter. We had several questions about the process and options. The server did a great job of helping us out. Decided a couple of the Build-Your-Own Bowls. Their are plenty of options when you do this, beginning with the 6 base choices (mixed greens, rice, quinoa, etc). Then the proteins, sauces, add-ins, and topping. There is something for everyone. They give you a number and you wait at one of the open tables. Afte a short wait, the server brought our bowls. They looked and tasted super fresh. Lots of great textures and flavors. There was enough left over for another meal (we added some chicken the next day). I thought it was a very good value. Would definitely come back again.
