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.

Naomi was star of the day. She was extremely friendly especially because we arrived closer to closing time, and I know workers usually just want to leave. She was amazing. The poke bowl itself was okay, not the best I've had in terms of quality but it was still a decent bowl. I would skip the seaweed salad.

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
Sha’Niya H.

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.

I have eaten here several times prior to becoming a Yelper. It had been a long absence. I…read moreremembered it as a cozy family owned place that would take you right back to the Hawaiian islands in feel. Plate lunches were always available with the standard 2 scoops of rice, Mac or green salad and entree. It hasn't changed much except for the addition of a large white ceramic wall hiding the kitchen and the wall mural. We wanted some katsu chicken and got a full order of it with green salad, rice and pineapple slice. Katsu style is lightly breaded breast meat fried to perfection. The chicken inside should be moist. Many overcook the batter or the chicken is dry. Not in this case. The chicken was excellent; tender and moist the way it should be. A sauce comes with the meal to dip the chicken. The rice was slightly sticky and good with the chicken. The salad was fresh and comes with a homemade thousand island dressing. We enjoyed this meal! Shared parking lot.

I remember back in the 80s Aloha Kitchen was the only gig in town and their grindes was supa ono. Their food sucks now. They always over cook the chicken katsu so now they over cooked the bulkogi. The mac salad is a plate lunch staple and they even managed to screw that up so it tasted like crap. I got the fried saimin and that wasn't too bad...I rate it a 2 out of 5. As of today 8.5.26, no manapua available. This may be a blessing in disguise. This place has fallen really far from what they used to be when Ray and Lynn ran it. Aloha Kitchen is as bad as the dumpster fire Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Sorry, but not recommended to the point of hell no, never again.

I'm visiting Arizona from California for work, and when I got back to my desk and opened up the bowl, I literally had to do a double take. WAIT... WHAT IS THIS?! IT'S FILLED TO THE BRIM! Seriously, they did not skimp on the portions. Coming from California, I'm definitely not used to seeing a bowl packed this full. And thankfully, it wasn't just a huge portion, it actually tasted great too. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely a pleasant surprise during a work trip. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in Arizona!

I order to go from them a few times a month and my katsu chicken is ALWAYS burnt. It's happened three times so far this year. I'm not sure if it's just a to-go issue since I've had the katsu chicken in restaurants and it's amazing. Their galbi beef ribs are our favorite. Always a healthy portion when we order it in one of their combos. The poke is perfect. Super fresh and never fishy. Their Mac salad is the best as well. Simple but delicious. Not too heavy with mayo. Love this place but maybe should learn my lesson and stop ordering katsu togo from them and get everything else instead lol.

My husband wanted a Whattaburger and this place was accross the parking lot. I told my husband…read morethat I wanted to try this place. The space is bright and open. High and low tables and self serve drinks. There was also a sauce table. My husband ordered the BBQ Beef plate with double Mac salad. Not sure what the cashier heard but when we checked the plate, it had sautéed cabbage instead of extra mac. Brought it to the cashiers attention and she apologized and said that was her fault. She provided another scoop. My husband said it wasn't bad and he knows his teriyaki. He did say that the extra teriyaki sauce I got helped as it was slightly dry. They also gave a lot of the bbq meat. He ran out of rice so I gave him some of mine . I ordered an Aloha Plate Combo which is a 2 choice plate from a set list and toss salad instead of mac. I got the Shrimp & Island Fire Chicken. The shrimp was okay, panko fried. The island fire chicken was a sautéed chicken with onions in a spicy sauce. It was an okay plate, nothing that really wowed. There was so much sauce on the chicken, it was hard to tell how much chicken there actually was. I also ordered 2 spam musubi for the plane as we had an early flight the next day. The rice was dry so the musubi kind of fell apart. It was recommended to eat wirh the Katsu sauce so I had a small cup in the container. It was a lot better with the sauce. Overall, if we ever do go again, I would pick something else for myself however it is a limited menu. It would be difficult for them to compete with Panda Express 3 doors down.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Hawaiian Bros 4445 E Thomas Road Phoenix 85018 It was lunch time and companion and I were passing by and decided to stop. This is a relatively new store with a new concept. I enjoy good Hawaiian food if it is authentic as served in the islands. The most common is called the plate lunch. In Hawaii it consists of your protein, and usually 2 scoops of potato salad and a scoop of macaroni salad. Not exactly the right meal for a carb conscious person, but definitely a tasty meal. On entering this store we immediately noticed that there was no place to order from. Instead, there were large computer screens with items you could select from. While I am not from the modern generation that is fully computer literate, I had no problem figuring it out and ordering. I ordered the Kilauea Chicken Classic and a bottle of water. Companion ordered the Molokai Chicken Classic and a Coke Zero. Everything in the place is made for easy cleaning and non destructivity. The chairs are made of metal and are one size fits all. Unfortunately, they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in and if your rear appendage is slightly on the larger side it will not fit in any way and you will be left sitting on the edge of the chair. In due course our food arrived in plastic boxes. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice if they had been marked so we knew which was which. Because the flavors were so similar it took a bit of time to figure out the foods. The Kilauea Chicken was O.K. but nothing to write home about. It came on a bed of rice along with a ball of rice and some macaroni salad that was great. Creamy and made like that served in the islands. The Molokai Chicken bordered on inedible. It was so overcooked that I had to stop and buy toothpicks on my way to remove the remnants from my teeth. Once again, it was served over rice with a ball of rice and the same, excellent macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was the best part of the meal! Serving protein over rice and then adding another ball of rice is ridiculous. 2 Stars
