Poke Bowl - Large   (3 Proteins)
Yuna C.

Great space with ample parking spots! There's even a drinks and dessert menu which I have not seen at other locations. The fish was very fresh and for those not into raw fish, they now offer hot plates.

Fresh Salmon Poke Bomb
Luis M.

The staff was super awesome. Shout out them! The place was brick, so bring a jacket cause it's cold. The food was not well executed. The bombs were delicious, not sure if it's cause they just came out, but they were really good. The Musubi was insanely bland and just weird. I make it at home and I eat it all the time it needs work. I eat a fair share of sushi and uncooked fish, there was something slimy about this one. The burrito is a really awesome concept but mine came out slimy as heck, I felt like I was eating an actual fish. We normally put down plates of food but I only made it to the halfway on this one. The owners need to do something about the recipes. The locals probably aren't familiar with the dishes they are eating but this could be much better.

I've only been here during lunch time but dinner time is really busy. They have a lot of take out orders as well. Plenty of parking in this shopping complex. It is a bit pricey but sign up for their rewards program and you get a free bowl

We'd been craving for Poke bowl and this is the closest to us with a fair diner reviews. It maybe under a chain but the stars in the reviews engaged us to drive here and tried. The place has this vibes that brings a good feeling to us the moment we walked in. Clean. Neat. Friendly staff. I have always ordered a ready bowl as I believe they have given a lot of thought about each meal on the board. I trust them that all ingredients in the bowl I picked complement each other. I was right! From carbs down to protein, sauces , veggies and toppings taste great as one whole thing. The Hawaiian soda is a good thing to get for a package experience. I'd never had the dole whip ice cream for a long time and it satisfied my cravings for a Hawaiian dessert. I can't help myself not to take home samples of their spam musubi and can't help not to eat right away when I get home . Definitely coming back to this place in order to try their other selections in the menu board. A recommended place.

Always a delight to come to Pokeworks. Luckily there is one in fresh meadows sort of close to me. Staff is always helpful, patient and polite. It's fast paced when it's busy so be prepared. The food is fresh to death and portions size is pretty big they don't skimp you. Inside: Very Clean and spotless

list of ingredients you get with ClassPass.
Paula L.

I seriously have an issue with this place. I used my ClassPass to order a Hawaiian poke bowl. all of the ingredients are listed. They are very strict and will only give you what is listed exactly on the ClassPass. If you were in there ordering a bowl without ClassPass, you could add all kinds of stuff without an extra charge. I understand that it's ClassPass and they want to be very strict with just the listed ingredients. However, on the ingredients listed it says that you're supposed to get seasonal crunch. I enjoy crunchy stuff in my Poké bowl. The guy refused to give it to me after I pointed it out. he said it it only comes with sesame seeds. I showed him the list of ingredients on the ClassPass. Clearly there were sesame seeds and then after that, it stated "seasonal crunch." I think it's a pretty crappy policy that you can't get what everybody else gets when they order a Poké bowl. Having said that, I respect it. So they should respect their own policy to give you all the ingredients that are listed. shame on this place.

Kind of new offering: Hawaiian chicken plate (chicken and rice served hot)
Essie L.

This is still the only poke place I visit in Queens, as their quality is consistent and everything looks fresh and clean. They started offering hot plates / bowls as well which is great for families with younger kids. I got the chicken plate for my kid, and it's good. I wish the macaroni salad wasn't spicy though, my kid wouldn't eat it. It would also be good if the salad can be replaced with something else from the poke side selections (eg edamame, corn).

Came on a weeknight to try a Poke bowl. Two proteins, unlimited add ins, sauces to top off for $17 after taxes. There were a few people ahead of me but the line moved at a good pace. I got a small amount of white rice, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, sliced onions, corn, edamame, shredded nori, fresh seaweed, salad mix, kale, green onions, garlic chips, onion chips, little sriracha aoli sauce, little cilantro sauce, chili crisps, Thai chili, mango, cucumber, cabbage, Serrano pepper. They mixed everything except for the rice, putting the mixed food on top of the rice. Good flavor, fresh. Definitely will return.

This particular business place has ample parking which is very convenient for costumers. They keep their place spotless, has a casual atmosphere but I have noticed that a lot of their costumers prefer their orders to-go. What I specially like with the food that they offer is fresh, costumizable, delicious, healthy and unique toppings/ingredients/sauce. They give a fair amount of ordered food when you order a bowl of poke. The food is delicious, flavorful, has a vibrant taste of the mixed ingredients and sauce. Prices are a tad higher than expected. I like that they incorporate fish like salmon or tuna in their poke bowl which is healthy. They also offer vegan option which is a plus for me. Their house made sauces are incredible, examples are the Pokeworks classic, Umami shoyu and Sriracha aioli. The staff are very nice warm, provides quick and fast service and they take their time to explain on what they offer. They can try to improve on giving a more generous amount on their food bowls. Or probably I was just thinking that it was not of sufficient amount because it taste really good. At the time that I came here they were offering a discount for all healthcare workers, just have to show your ID... lucky me .

Just got introduced to this the other day. And today's going to be my third time going back to back . Love the concept and basically getting sushi in a bowl !! Love it

Charred Terriyaki Salmon Plate
Cairo R.

My boss was ordering from here for the team for lunch so I had to choose something. I was a little nervous as I've never had any Poke before; but relieved when I saw there were cooked items as well. I ordered the Charred Terriyaki Salmon Plate. I'm really particular about my fish not tasting too fishy. I really like the flavor of the salmon. It has a almost grilled kind of flavor to it along with the teriyaki sauce, which was just a hint of sauce, but not drowning the fish. It was great combination with the white rice, The salad and the avocado. There was a small portion of a macaroni salad as well, which had a nice flavor. I was very satisfied with this dish and would order the same exact thing again. Plus the portion was a great size which filled me up, but was not overwhelming. Definitely recommend.

3 protein poke bowl
Calbert C.

The poke bowl is delicious! This is my go to pokeworks. I usually order a 3 protein poke bowl to share with my girlfriend and it never disappoints. Somehow sharing always taste better than if I were to get a small order for myself. We usually get salmon, shrimp, spicy salmon, edamame, surumi salad, pineapple, mandarin orange, furikake flakes, garlic crisp, cucumber, hijiki seaweed, and Sriracha aioli sauce. This mixture is great balance of savory, sweet, with a bit of spicy! Even though we share, we often never finish. I have also tried the garlic spam masubi before which is also delicious. This time I decided to try one of their new items, the lobster dynamite poke bomb and my only gripe is that it was not fresh and you can definitely tell. I didn't realize they took it from the fridge off to the side because I probably would have not gotten it otherwise. The color of the lobster was a bit faded and the sauce was dried out a little. Regardless it was still enjoyable to eat. I do want to try the fresh salmon variant next time.

The place is known for their pancakes and they have a huge variety! I was debating between the blueberry pancakes or the banana brulee pancakes. I went with the blueberry pancakes and it was delicious! Lots of blueberry inside the pancakes and blueberry compote on top. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful without being too sweet or overload. My boyfriend and I also shared a salmon eggs benedict on the seasonal menu. It was one of the best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had. The portion was perfect - two decent sized Benedicts with a small salad on the side. The best thing is that the Benedict is not on an English muffin, but a hash brown. The service was great as they came by several times to ask if we were ready to order before we actually ordered. They were also very attentive in refilling our water cups. The place is relatively small so I can see how it gets crowded. There is a restroom in the rear for customers. One final tip is that this place does not accept credit cards - only cash, Venmo or Zelle! Would definitely be back for the salmon eggs Benedict, to try other pancakes, and their drinks as well.
