    Huli Huli Chicken Plate and Lightly Sweetened Jasmine Green Tea
    Sam Y.

    The music is a bit loud, so make sure to speak up when ordering. They have a few tables and counter seating, as well as outdoor table seating. There is a lot of foot traffic in and out but I haven't had a trouble scoring a table. The Huli Huli Chicken (Plate) is super tender and well saiced. I enjoyed the addition of furikake in the Mac Salad! It was definitely my favorite part of the plate. The Side Salad is fresh with a light dressing. I love that the rice (white or brown) soaks up the Teriyaki sauce. Lots of flavors in each portion of the dish. The Lightly Sweetened Jasmine Green Tea is indeed lightly sweetened. It has decent Jasmine flavor. Overall, a nice spot to hit for a flavorful meal by the AMC Theater and shopping center. It can get pricey depending on what you order, but it generally seems good quality and fresh.

    Poke Your Way - Lightly Seared Salmon

    My family and I periodically stop by here as it's close to where we live, and we've never had a bad experience. We've eaten in, and gotten takeout. During the warmer months, they also have outdoor seating. Everything we've had is always fresh, and they have a good variety of sides, toppings, sauce, and proteins, including fish, tofu, and lobster surimi. My go-to has been a salmon make your own poke bowl with a furikake mac salad, and it always hits the spot! My mom is also a fan of the Huli huli chicken plate and she said the chicken is very tender and flavorful. The service is pretty basic, you go to a bar-like area and pick out your toppings/protein. No complaints about the service, they've always been available to help out with whatever I needed. We will continue to come back!

    Fresh ingredients! Quick service. Friendly service. Limted selection on the board. I had the Hawaii Pokey. I added avocado. Extra charge but worth it. Love fresh avocado. Asked me if I liked it with extra sauce on it. Yes please. No extra charge. Brown rice. Canned Coke. With 15% tip total $20.00. Not bad. Very filling. Great flavor. You can build your own. I'm not a pokey regular so I went with something already created. With a little avocado touch. Restaurant was clean. Limited seating. Now go get you some. Give them a try!

    Fresh Salmon Poke Bomb

    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.

    Poke Bowl - Large   (3 Proteins)

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    This cost $15.19 without avocado. This is ridiculous yo charge that with just a pinch of sides.

    For years I order the same food in person or delivery. Today I decided to go in person and I was told that I MUST have my food in a BABYsize bowl and my order cannot be in a large bowl. There's no sign that list the prices for a baby size bowl or normal size. Then when you want to add to your meal they give you just a pinch ( which is like adding a pinch of salt to your food). They charge you $1.95 extra for a scoop of avocado. That's highway robbery. You're not even greeted properly. This place is going downhill. I don't recommend this place at all anymore. Not worth it.

    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).

    Food is great when prepared properly. Customer service is atrocious. Ordered twice today and both times had issues. First I ordered through their website, and the total I was displayed pre checkout was $25 cheaper than what was actually charged to my card. When I called they refused to honor the price I was initially displayed and I had them cancel the order. Then I ordered again from uber eats. I ordered a poke bowl your way with custom ingredients, and specifically noted I had a cucumber allergy. What I received had more cucumber than fish and unfortunately didn't notice until after taking a bite. I called the store hoping to get a replacement order, and was told by the manager Louis that it's not their problem and to contact uber. I told him I could feel my throat getting itchy as I was talking and his only response was "can I help you with anything else?" As someone who works in the service industry I am shocked with how dismissive the service was. I was treated like an order number, and not as a human suffering a medical event from their negligence

    Santia G.

    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.
