Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins)
Mackenzie O.

This is one of my current go to at first I was hesitant to get poke in middle Tennessee but everything is so fresh the staff is super friendly and they have a lot of options! I would like to get the spicy tuna I I can never remember my sauces. I always ask the staff, but you can get a mix of a couple of them and as much of the toppings as you would like! It's super clean in there and a good stop for lunch or dinner!

I was pleasantly surprised with this Poke. I haven't been able to find something as fresh tasting as when I was in Hawaii, but this place was pretty tasty. It was quick, kind of like a assembly line. The restaurant was clean and seemed like a nice place to eat. It was in the Gulch area.

I'm leaving three stars because the food is REALLY good, but extremely disappointed in the service today. Hate to leave a bad review but leaving it as I see the owner is active here. Have visited many times and had an awful experience. Ordered the huli huli chicken hot plate and the dynamite shrimp bowl. The young lady making the shrimp bowl is new, but made our shrimp bowl wrong twice and it had to be remade. They laughed about her struggling to make it correctly. The employee who finally made it correctly (she is the manager named Beverly) sat by and watched her make it wrong, before correctly making it herself. All 3 young ladies were playing around and cussing (several F bombs and laughing about it) with their friends in the corner while eating chick fil a (photo of that attached.) the manager was also dropping F bombs and laughing. Both of them go back and forth between eating at this table and serving food, without washing their hands. when asking for the manager before leaving this review, the other employee was also extremely rude and walked away mumbling the name. Again, the food is great and I'll be back for that reason but service needs to be updated with better training. It was not a pleasant experience today.

Got Pokeworks to go. Service was quick and friendly. The food transported me back to a trip to Honolulu a few years back. The portions were generous. I got the shrimp and macaroni salad. Every bite was flavorful and well seasoned. Would definitely recommend!

I just moved here from Connecticut and tried Pokeworks through take out. I was IMPRESSED by not just how delish and fresh my ingredients were, but also how much thought came into sealing my green tea drink and miso soup. I haven't had a good poke bowl in years and this definitely hit the spot. I will be ordering from them again.

ube latte

Lots of vegetarian toppings which was nice! Toppings all tasted fresh, and different textures / variety made the bowl taste great. Also tried the ube latte which was refreshing. It wasn't too sweet, and boba was soft.

Such a great alternative for a healthy lunch or a light dinner. Nashville definitely needs more healthy and fast alternatives for lunch and dinner. You can create your own bowl or get a premade option. I got the premade option. The spicy ahi tuna is loaded with Ahi tuna, cucumber, sweet onion, edamame, Sriracha Aioli flavor, masago, green onion, sesame seeds, onion crisps, shredded nori. I went a base of cold Ramen noodles. This was so good, and I didn't realize how much I was missing quality pokè since moving from the West Coast. I also ordered a spam musubi for the ride home since it was gonna take about 40 minutes to get home. My wife created her bowl and even though I did not have a taste of it, it did look delicious. Her only, very small, complaint was not liking the warm white rice base added it to the cold raw fish. I really love the layout here and the inside is extremely clean, dare I say immaculate? I would definitely come back here if I was in the Capitol View neighborhood again.

I ordered from this place on Doordash and it tasted fantastic. I cannot even imagine how it would taste fresh at the restaurant. I did a build your own poke bowl with shrimp, chicken, and all the delicious toppings. It even tasted great the next day! The only thing I need to try is the sauces, the one I got (spicy serrano aioli) I was not crazy about. Luckily I ordered it on the side so I still got to enjoy the bowl. Catch me here for lunch soon!

Wow! Like I went to heaven and came back... whatz? James and Felicia are so nice and customer oriented. The place is clean, well decorated and spacious. But now, the food! Delicious is an understatement. That burrito was amazing! I never had the sushi burrito before and I love seaweed! So wrap it up. I do wish it had two layers of the wrap because is too thin and it get messy too fast. The power food it has inside is too much (don't change that!) I made it a combo and it brings soup or their ice cream. I got the miso soup and it was ok. Needed a little more flavor. They also have two fountain drink flavors and bottle drinks in the cooler, I went with the pomegranate one. Delicious! The menu is easy to read but it can have updates. I also downloaded the app (you get $5 off) but it doesn't say it the next purchase. Ms. Felicia didn't scan it but said I could update he app with the receipt, I tried while I was enjoying the food but it kept giving me an error but great ideas to earn points. They know they goo' that you'll be back. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl
Maya R.

I absolutely love this place. Once a week, at minimum I'm here. (Important question: Do they have a rewards points program?!) The employees here are amazing, super helpful and kind. And seriously, the poke bowls are to die for good. Everything is so FRESH and tasty, and I always make my own signature bowl. Highly recommend getting the protein of your choice torched - it adds a nice charred texture to the meat, but doesn't overcook it. Literal game changer in flavor (!!). I haven't ventured yet into the realm of adding any 'crunchys'. Anyone have any recommendations?! Can't wait to try more combinations~

I have been in a Poké bowl kick lately and tried other poké restaurants in town.This is poké place is by far my favorite! Monica was a saint! She was so patient with me as I build my bowl. She walked me through the ingredients and sauces. . I had build your own with 2 protein spicy salmon and spicy tuna both s are fresh! I had half white and half brown rice. I also added edamame, and other vegetables and orange slices which was amazing! I added gochuchang and ponzu shuyo. It was so good I went back the following week for dinner. The staff Monica and Izyk was super friendly this is probably my favorite poke restaurant in town! Tip- signup for the rewards program! You'll earn points and get $5 off!

I work nearby and walk to Capitol View frequently. I like to walk past the dog park and then often times eat at some of the places in Capitol View. I noticed Pokeworks was open and it looked nice from the outside, so I wanted to try it out. The interior is very clean and inviting. The staff are very helpful and friendly in explaining the process. You choose either two or three proteins (two is enough) and you choose a base, and then choose your toppings. You tell them what sauce you want and what heaviness (light or heavy) you prefer. I opted for the rice base, and salmon and tuna with cilantro, hijiki seaweed, edamame, kimchi, pokeworks classic ginger sesame vinaigrette, masago, seaweed salad, garlic flakes and roasted sesame seeds. I cleaned my bowl. I loved it so much I have been there twice now lol. The first time I tried a garlic spam musubi. It was definitely more food than I needed but I at least wanted to try it. Loved the flavor. I would love to get the opinion from an actual Hawaiian - maybe you are next to review this place. I love it, two thumbs up.

two sushi burritos and spam musubi
Sarah L.

I got this try pokeworks through the Yelp Elit 615 event and it was an amazing deal. My burrito was delicious - filling but didn't leave me too full. Also got to try their spam musubi and pineapple dole soft serve, and I think the dessert was my favorite. I was especially happy that it's a dairy free option. Food was delicious. Staff were all so nice. Would definitely come back! Also free parking in the garage. Super convenient place to grab a meal in the gulch!

Supposedly the Hawaiian Ahi

Tasty and healthy. In a new area that is walkable to downtown Nashville hotels. The salmon was super fresh. Service was friendly and fast.

Also, the lady making the boba tea was very bubbly and made us feel welcome. Keep in mind, the tea is handled in a different part of the restaurant with its own kiosk.

I was a bit disappointed because even though the regular comes with 3 scoops of protein, realistically it's not that much. They use the tiniest ice cream spoons scoopers they could find. They cut the fish in big pieces so you get like 3 pieces of fish. Their spicy tuna is a salad and mixed so it's more like a puree. The rice is good. I mixed the rice with some salad greens and that adds a good balance for me. You get 5 toppings to add to your bowl then they charge extra per extra toppings. They also have dry toppings like onions and garlic and it's a good addition and flavor oils too. They also have a boba bar but we didn't try it. They have bottle drinks like coke and teas to purchase on a fridge by the register. The inside is clean and it has enough space but it's not a big place. They have tables and a couch like seating. They do not have outdoor seating. They are in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking spaces. Definitely a busy area but we came after the rush so it was easy get to and to order once there. Overall is an ok place for a lunch meal. I'm not sure if I would pay for the full price but I would get the online deal if available and I'm in the area.

After the terrible disappointment we had downstairs at Boqueria, my boyfriend and I went upstairs…read moreto the food court hoping to finally get a decent and filling dinner... and honestly Poke Nash completely saved the night. For anyone who doesn't know, poke is a Hawaiian-inspired dish made with fresh sushi-grade fish, rice, veggies, sauces, and toppings all mixed into these super flavorful and satisfying bowls. And let me tell you, these bowls were EXACTLY what we needed after leaving another restaurant still hungry and annoyed. The service here was immediately better. We were greeted nicely, our food came out super fast, and the whole experience just felt easy and stress-free. The bowls were fresh, filling, flavorful, and honestly so comforting after the chaos downstairs. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and everything tasted really balanced and delicious. My boyfriend also ordered the gyozas and for a fast casual spot they were surprisingly really good too -- crispy, hot, flavorful, and the perfect side to the bowls. Honestly, if you're around Fifth + Broadway and want something quick, tasty, and actually worth your money, skip the frustration downstairs and just go upstairs to the food hall. Sometimes the "quick food" ends up giving you a way better experience than the full-service restaurant below it.

The…read morefirst time I thought my issue was that I ordered a signature bowl via my sister who did a pick up. The bowl was the shrimp tempura and was pretty basic. So on another hospital visit, I stopped on myself and placed my own order. That's when I realized Poke Nash really does have limited ingredients to add to your bowl. No corn, carrots, shredded cabbage, or fried wantons. All the yummy extras I love. So if you want a bowl lacking the yummy extras. Then this is the place for you. But me, I'm eating elsewhere.
