    Great, fresh poke with a nice variety of toppings/sides. The only issue is that the scoop portion is actually abysmal lol. I'm pretty sure I counted a total of 4 pieces of ahi tuna in my large bowl. My bowl was also 70% rice and 30% salad for my base. Besides the scoop portions and insane amount of rice, everything tasted great. I'll be back for lunch again.

    First time visiting and trying poke. First impression were it was a clean, fresh space and we were greeted by the staff as we entered. Located walking distance from ASU. Ordered poke bowls to eat during lunch time. They offer hot meals options as well. We ordered at the counter and we were able to customize our bowls. It was my first time trying a poke restaurant I ordered from the menu the #2 Yuzu Ponzu Salmon and my friend made her own bowl. My only recommendation on my part for next time is to add more sauce if you plan to add only 1 type of sauce because I ordered medium amount and it needed more sauce especially if you like every bite to have sauce. You have the option to add the amount of sauce in mild, medium or heavy from.

    I grabbed dinner from here shortly before they closed on a Friday night and it was delicious. My cashier Ash was so kind and suggested a sauce option for me when I asked, and it was incredible. The place was closing soon, so it was pretty empty, and the service was very fast. She even offered a free musubi which was tasty. The place itself is small and only seats 21 people, so if you go, I'd recommend going in a small group or eating outside. If you want fresh poke to cool you down while not feeling weighed down, this is the spot.

    I love finding hidden gems like this. It is a small, quiet spot that is perfect for getting some work done while grabbing lunch or a quick bite. The staff made the experience even better. Isabelle was amazing. She made being a new customer feel so easy. She explained the process in detail and gave thoughtful recommendations based on what I was craving. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure the store looked clean and welcoming, which really made a difference. Nick brought great energy with his friendly attitude and set the perfect vibe with his music choices. I walked in not really sure what to expect and now I absolutely love it. Definitely worth checking out if you have some downtime.

    SO GOOD EVERY TIME. Obviously not traditional poke, but honestly I've found myself preferring this to the traditional version sometimes. The staff here are always very friendly and scoop HEAVY. The restaurant has always been clean when I visit even during heavy traffic hours. I love Pokeworks.

    What I got and couldn't grub on

    So, I haven't had Pokeworks for quite some time. My friends and I decided to go today and half of them had never tried it before so I hyped you guys up so bad, right. But when we got our food it was actually terrible. I've had Pokeworks many times and it's like my favorite...I have the app and everything so I know what it's supposed to taste and LOOK like. The Mac was oddly dry this time and had 0 flavor and the lump some of salad we got was flavorless as well. Like pasture animal food...Then the chicken like come on now. It was COLD and there was barely any on any of our plates and the chicken wasn't even the right chicken that went on the plate... It was disgusting. You'd expect the workers to tell us beforehand if there wasn't anymore chicken for the HULI HULI CHICKEN plate? They did not. They only told me about the drinks being out of stock because I went to the app, saw them gone, and asked on my own behalf. The customer service was bad. I am not the type to leave bad reviews at all but I'm just very disappointed. I literally left a good review on Google like 2 years ago of this place.

    Accidentally stopped by because I wanted Asian food and the other place I was planned to go was closed unexpectedly. It seems like they were busy with online lunch orders which is great for them. Even though they got many orders, they were quick to help me. The bowl is huge and they offer so many different kinds of toppings. I love the seaweed. I could not remember the name but I could not find it at any other poke places. Fish and rice are ok.

    Seen this place before and my girlfriend decided we should try it. No regrets! The poke we got was amazing. It's Tempe next to ASU so parking sucks but if you do find a spot, I recommend it. $12 a bowl of fresh healthy ingredients is always a must even more with the variety of choices to meet your tastes and likes. They were playing One Piece on the lobby TV though so that gets negative points from me

    I was so surprised by the flavor of this poke bowl. The sauces are amazing! If you like spicy mayo, you have to add the Spicy Serrano Aioli. Also, the pozu is a super refreshing sauce to add as well. The onion chips added such great textures and the pineapple adds the perfect amount of sweetness. The only reason why I have 4 stars is because the portion is way too small to be paying so much. You guys need to relax with portion control because I'm pretty sure I saw the amount of each ingredient in the bowl. Be generous with portions! Other than that, this is probably the best poke bowl I've had in phoenix so far.

Afterwards, he mentioned that he tasted it and agreed about our comments- I appreciate that level of attention. Shortly after, the food arrived. Spicy pork tacos for me, and BLTA for my wife. The tacos looked a little overdressed. I was so wrong. Flavor and texture were balanced perfectly. The tortillas were firm, but again, perfectly suited to the juicy pork, that had a teriyaki vibe. Sprouts, carrot and cucumber toppings worked well, despite my expectations. The BLTA was HUGE. Great flavor. Both entrees were ordered with sweet potato fries. Unusual cut to them, but seasoned perfectly. I paired mine with chipotle aioli and ate every last one. My only complaint is that I'm only spending one evening in the Phoenix area, and won't be back soon. I would eat this food three times a week without hesitation.

They serve salads, bowls, sandwiches, all-day breakfast, protein shakes, fresh juices, and other healthy, fast-casual eats for dine-in or take-away. My kind of place! This is one of those spots that I'd frequent if I lived nearby (ChopShop, want to open in Northern California?!). I stumbled upon this spot after a little self-guided tour of ASU campus on a sleepy Sunday morning (everyone must have been asleep after the big football game the day before). I'd forgotten about this spot and it was such a happy surprise to find it again and to see that they survived the pandemic and are still thriving. First visit I ordered: -Cheat Day Wrap: scrambled egg, bacon, white cheddar, smashed avocado, tomato, brown rice (I ordered without rice), and turkey or ham (I skipped these too) *DELISH on a whole wheat wrap!!! Full of flavor and super easy to eat. This hearty breakfast sando fueled my active morning of hiking "A" Mountain (Hayden Butte Preserve) the running around the the IronMan course to spectate (30,000+ steps as a spectator!). We couldn't leave town without another trip. I took my guy and we enjoyed a salad, another breakfast wrap, and: -Chicken + Prosciutto Sandwich: grilled chicken, prosciutto, fontina, arugula, fig mostarda, dijon (no dijon for us), on a house bun. If you're in the area, looking for a healthy-ish breakfast, lunch, or snack, definitely check out Original ChopShop. Note: it gets busy at peak meal hours with students and faculty. Order at the kiosks (super easy), grab a number, find a table in their cozy interior or on their large front patio, and your food will be brought to you. Have a question? Just ask - the staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding our choices. And I love that they allow modifications to most menu items! We'll be back!!!

Beginners Luck is just that kind of place. Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the Crab and Shrimp Roll with fries. It was excellent and quite a portion. More than enough for a second meal. Loaded with shrimp and crab. I wasn't expecting a crab and shrimp salad but rather a mix of the two warm and buttered in the roll but it was very tasty as served. The only part that was a little off was the burned in brand on the roll the cold salad was served in. The charred flavor with the salad was a little off putting. I just pinched off the burnt bits from the bread. Excellent fries! Service 4/5 - I sat at the bar. Bartender was nice, offered regular menu and restaurant week menu as well. Meal was brought by manager, fries were still piping hot. Bartender and manager checked back to make sure meal was to my liking. Ambiance 5/5 - Cute place.

Quite tasty! We just did apps: Fondue Blanc served with linguisa, pretzel bread and roasted cauliflower. The fondue was especially delicious with the cauliflower. We also had pimento cheese served with potato chips and chicharrones.
