    Poke Burrito
    Rohit G.

    Delicious fresh option for food in the Valley. I came on a weekday for lunch and the place was busy, but not a long wait in line. ATMOSPHERE: The place has a nice, clean, new feel to it. Wood interior and tables make for a great dining experience. I was able to comfortably have a conversation with my friend while eating there. FOOD: I got a chicken and shrimp "poke" burrito. It was delicious. I really like how you are able to put essentially everything you want in the burrito to make it exactly how you like it, and there are a TON of options for mix-ins. Everything tasted fresh, and the burrito was not too heavy. I also liked how there was only a thin layer of rice so as to not overpower all the other flavors. SERVICE: Everyone was kind and prompt. They assemble your food in front of you so there is no wait (unless there is a line to order). PRICE/VALUE: Reasonable price for a full, hearty meal. My two-protein burrito was around $12. Overall, although there are a lot of Asian food options in the area, Pokeworks stands out as fresh, customizable, and delicious, and I'm glad they came to McAllen!

    Everything tasted fresh and I love that you can add more veggies to your signature bowl. I ordered the tofu bowl with brown rice and it was so filling. The seaweed salad was bomb and the avocado gives the whole thing a buttery texture. I topped it off by adding all the crunchies and I was in texture heaven. My mom loved the miso soup that comes with the combo. Check this place out if you want something fresh and delicious!

    Great quick and healthy lunch which is hard to find in the vally. Staff was fast and the value of the positions was spot on.

    Poke Rice Bowls. One with spicy tuna/spicy salmon and one with plain tuna/plain salmon and all the vegetables!

    I had only had take out from out local Pokeworks but today we tried dine in. I'm so glad we did. The service was great, our preparer was so patient and knowledgeable. My husband and I became obsessed with Poke after a trip to Hawaii, and we do like it. Our rice bowls were enormous, one can easily feed 2 hungry people and the protein servings were not skimpy either. EVERYTHING was fresh and delicious, and it can easily be the ONE meal of the day. I highly recommended it. The establishment was extremely clean and so was the restroom. Major plus, we went at an off hour for lunch and we had the place to ourselves with the A/C perfectly cool. We did people watch as many people do go for take out!! I highly recommended it and it's perfectly located on North 10th Street in McAllen.

    When I first heard this place opened, I was excited. I love rice bowls and if any opportunity comes around where I can eat a great tasting one, I'll take it. I came an hour before closing time, because I was in the area. I haven't really heard anything about the restaurant other than it was open, so I was curious about how they operated. This venue is a "customize-your-own-food" type of restaurant. There are options to get a specifically made bowl, but I chose to make my own due to the excitement. The server was very nice and was very open about what his preferences were when it came to customization. He also gave me advice on the how I wanted it to taste like based on my taste palette and what I preferred. He also let me know that there was a promotion going on, if you download the app, you could get $5 off your next order for pick up. The restaurant was very clean. Prior to going in, they were cleaning, and clean about every 30 minutes or so. After the incredible service, I decided to dig into my bowl. It was one of the best tasting food places I've tasted in a while, since visiting back to the valley. You get what you pay for! The rice was still super hot, even though I ate it 30 minutes after arriving at the restaurant. I ordered fresh lemonade on the side and it is by far really good lemonade- not too sweet, not too sour. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to indulge in healthy eating, or has a rice bowl addiction like me. A great recommendation who's in the area!

    Love pokeworks. Word of advice: order in person. It tastes so much better when you eat it freshly made.

    The poke bowl was as good or better than any place I've ever been to, and I've eaten many bowls in Austin, Dallas, and California

    This location is actually in Donna and I wanted to make sure I reviewed it…read more The concept is new to me and I really enjoyed it. It's a chicken salad style salads sandwich shop. Very fresh and tons of choices. They offer lots of flavors on chicken salad and soups. I did sample a few flavors and finally picked. You have to give them a try. You won't be disappointed. Along with great food. The service was great. Friendly staff willing to assist and help with suggestions. Very friendly. The inside is very clean and even the bathroom were clean. Always makes me smile.

    This is about the chicken salad factory in Donna Tx. I had visited it during the weekend only to…read morefind out it was closed weekends nd not opened Mon- fri. My wife wanted something light for lunch so I suggested we try the chicken salad factory in Donna. The staff Ed helpful and friendly I ordered the scoop salad which comes with 2 scoops of your choice of chicken salad choice of spinach, or greens one mix of both and saltines or jalapeño cornbread muffins I selected the signature factory chicken salad and creamy cilantro avocado chicken salad with a mixture of both greens and spinach along with some saltines they scoops were quite small just a little bigger than a melon scooper and was given just. Full scoop of each the signature factory tasted like an average chicken salad nothing special while the creamy cilantro avocado had more avocado and bland chicken taste to it than anything i couldn't taste any cilantro and it needs to be seasoned my wife ordered a famous Waldorf chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread but I don't know how that ended up for her as we picked up and I brought mine home and she had hers at work. Not sure if I would return because the portions are kind of a Let down compared to other similar restaurants in the area and the food was not as flavorful Ias I expected it to be.
