A great addition to Arsenal Yards! It's basically a Chipotle-style take on poke, so the service is super quick and efficient. I tried the sushi burrito for the first time and really enjoyed it. The flavors and overall quality were good. The only downside was that the seaweed wrapper got a bit soggy, which made it slightly difficult to bite off -- but overall, it was a tasty and satisfying meal. read more

Google place and ambient, When we got there they treat us very nice. id come again, very good food.

I visited this Pokeworks while spending a day for a show. This plaza was near the hotel we stayed and less than a 5 min walk. I have had Pokeworks in RI so I was excited to try it here. The outside seating is nice a laid back chill vibe. There was no line and even though I wasn't sure what wanted the employees were patient with me and answered my question. I went with the Yuzu Ponzu Salmon without the onions. It was fresh and delicious. I also got a free lemon lime water that was refreshing. Quick and easy takeout read more

Okay poke. Not very flavorful or interesting. Staff is very fast but missed the opportunity to talk about what additions are good for that dish although restaurant was nearly empty. Missed a major upsell opportunity but more importantly helping the customer flavor the dish favorably and memorably. Waikiki in Davis Square Somerville is a good model to follow. This place is not. read more

We visited as a group of 6. All of the dishes looked great. I was impressed with the cleanliness and offerings. I had a spicy shrimp bowl with avocado... delicious! One of our party is limited as to what she can eat due to a medical issue and they were able to accommodate. Very pleasant and patient staff. read more

A very convenient, clean and chic place in Arsenal yards. I absolutely loved my poke. I ordered the umami tuna and I thought it was a really good $17 worth. I ate it all up. Absolutely healthy and fresh. Ideal for local residents and visitors alike will be back here again. read more

So delicious. Ordered for company coming over. Everyone got exactly what they wanted. We loved it.

This is from the new Pokeworks in Arsenal Yards. We've been there a couple of times and their biggest opportunity is to prepare your food consistently. Different workers do it differently, so keep an eye on portion size, sauce quantity and such. There are seats to dine in, or you can get take out. You go down the line and build your poke bowl the way you like. Our bowl costs around $16ish dollars and it was enjoyable. Parking is abundant in the mall. Place looked clean. read more

I am not sure how to write this review. I have ordered food from them twice now and the food was good. Only problem the orders were very wrong. The first time i ordered the poke with three proteins that you put together yourself. I asked for extra sauce on the side and when it arrived there was no sauce at all. I had no soy sauce at home so i had to eat it dry. I could see it was well made. I also got the spam thing which was not for me. I never had spam before and never will again. I tried a second time ordered the two-protein poke bowl with seared salmon and lobster surimi and i requested double surimi WHAT I GOT WAS Poke with seared salmon and seaweed which i did not request i asked for the poke on the side and it was the wrong one. But i would rate the food as good read more

The moment I walked in, I knew something was off. The place was empty--no customers in sight--while three employees huddled together, chatting among themselves. No warm welcome, no smile. The only words I heard were a flat, uninviting: "What do you want?" Still, I decided to give them a chance. Small businesses need customers to survive, I told myself. When I began to order, the employee mumbled something I couldn't make out. "Pardon me?" I asked. She mumbled again. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you," I repeated. That's when she suddenly barked--yelled--"What do you want? White rice, brown rice, pasta?" I was stunned. Then came the next question: "What size do you want?" "What's the difference?" I asked. Her answer? "Two scoops or three scoops." I chose two. She seemed visibly disappointed, and then--right in front of me--she scooped one full serving and then a half scoop for the second. It was almost comical... if it hadn't been so insulting. I wanted to say something, but I held my tongue. At the register, my card didn't work. I asked if they took Apple Pay. No answer--just a finger pointing to the payment screen, which was prompting for a tip. I tipped anyway, but the whole interaction left me feeling awkward and unwelcome. This was, without exaggeration, the worst poke place experience I have ever had. read more

The food is always delicious and fresh and the staff is always polite and friendly! Clean and tidy space. Great spot for a quick, healthier meal. Highly recommend! read more

It's funny that there can be that much of a difference in food taste and portions between one Pokeworks to another. We like going to this one in Arsenal Yards because the items are consistently fresh, they don't run out of things, and the food doesn't end up sopping wet from an overload of dressing. Good variety of proteins, toppings and dressings, there's likely to be something for everyone whether you like raw fish or not. The place is new, bright, clean, and doesn't get too crowded so there's always room at the tables. read more

When asked, we were told that the "white rice" is sushi rice, but in reality it's just plain unseasoned white rice. And they don't add enough sauce, so you kinda end up with a bowl of plain rice in the end. Boring. read more

I was pretty disappointed in the vegan options here & not sure what the hype is all about, just like all the other fads, just a matter of time before this goes bye-bye. I ended u making my own & there are barely any veggies. You have cucumber, lettuce, kale, onion/scallion & that's about it. Pretty sad to not have other veggies as avocado was, of course, an extra charge. Staff were friendly & helpful. read more

Well prepared dishes. Tasty. Not too fatty. Nice portions. Friendly welcoming and quick service. Decent price. Good value. Nice place to stop and grab a delicious lunch. read more

This place is goooood. Fresh. Fresh ahi tuna and salmon - great fresh toppings. All the works needed to make a great poke bowl. Visiting from NJ and craving a great fresh poke that lived up to the hype of MA & this place hit the spot. read more

It was alright. I stopped by the Pokeworks at Arsenal Yards today for lunch. The place is order at the counter and food is prepped right in front of you. They have a selection of build your own or signature poke bowls, burritos & salads, plus chips, cookies, upside down cake, and bottled & can drinks. There is seating inside and outside in front. I ordered the Large Umami Ahi Tuna Bowl ($17.45 plus tax) and made it a combo for $3.50 plus tax with miso soup and a bottle of Saratoga Sparkling Water. After paying, I sat down to eat. The miso soup with miso broth, soft tofu and scallion was not hot and almost cold. The Umami ahi tuna bowl was okay, a modest portion in a large bowl which had a half & half base of Romaine lettuce & greens and brown rice, Ahi tuna pieces, cucumber, sweet onion, hijiki seaweed, edamame, Umami Shoyu flavor, surimi salad, pickled ginger, green onion, sesame seeds, garlic crisps. I finished my lunch quickly so I could enjoy the rest of the sunny day outside. read more

I love this place! The store is super clean, food is delicious. I like to get a large ( 3 proteins- I usually get 2 scoops of Tuna and 1 scoop of Salmon) It is pricey so when they have the 20% discount it feels like a reasonable price for delicious poke. Keep up the great job! read more

I was very impressed with my Poke Bowl today. The selection of add ons is amazing. I prefer my Poke Bowls with no base but very few places offer that. I opted for the mixed greens and went to town on the add on's. The bowl was a large portion and very delicious. The price was also lower than most places I'm used to and I even added Lobster as a protein. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Pokeworks - And so clean! - Salad Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

In 3 years I have eaten Poké about 30 times in 7 places or so, mostly in Manhattan. I havent reviewed many. This resturant has lousy, lower level quality raw tuna and salmon. If you're going to have a Poké bar, at least make sure the sushi is great quality, not mushy, tasteless fish. SUCH a disappointment. Note to management--start PURCHASING HIGHER GRADE TUNA AND SALMON and take the hit on your bottom line. You already skimp on the add-ins so at least you can make money off that. I'll never eat here again--and I currently live next door! read more

Solid poke. Quick and healthy options. I prefer the spicy tuna/salmon. Thumbs up for the seaweed salad topper.

Good pokey bowls, a little expensive for what you got service. It was OK definitely more than enough seating.

I ordered spam musubi and pineapple upside down cake from Grubhub. Despite of 40-minute delayed delivery, which wasn't the restaurant's fault, the spam musubi remained warm and tasty. To date, Pokeworks has the best spam musubi in MA! The pineapple upside down cake was moist and delicious as well. Not too sweet. read more

It's good but sometimes the rice is a smidge harder than it should be. Honestly not too expensive for what it is either! Give it a try and get the spicy salmon :) read more

Great food. Great service. Go to lunch spot. Always have an efficient line and never waiting long.

It's been a long time going back, because locations was a far from where I lived. Now the Warertown location is closer to me. I went back and it's still one of the best poke place I had compare to others. I selections of ingredients I can put into the bowl is great. Everything is fresh and tasty. I definitely will go back offen now. Thanks for opening one in Watertown. read more

i got the spicy ahi bowl and a musubi--so yummy. the service was quick and the staff were very helpful. if you want a quick, filling, delicious bite, def check this place out. it's also right in arsenal yards so there's lot to do in the area if you enjoy shopping! read more

Good food and super convenient since I live really close, I prefer double salmon + 1 tuna for the large bowl in terms of value for $ (since I feel like the medium is a little small) really friendly staff though the wait was kind of long since they just opened. It's a lot cheaper than kura for a filling lunch read more

Service is fast. Sometimes it can get hectic with the online orders in the line as well. Food is always fresh. I've noticed portion sizes tend to vary depending on who's working. read more

Terrible service. The food was subpar. The manager was also really rude when taking the order When we asked to have the Musubi cut in 1/2 to share, we were smirked at and told to either use our hands or 2 forks (since they didn't any plastic knives available). Will not be returning. read more

Very fresh and good food. My favorite place! I am coming every time after gym! Thank you for good job.

Pretty expensive for poke but delivery is usually rather timely and the place seems rather clean. The food is delicious though and the people are usually rather nice. Only complaint would be that sometimes they don't fill the bowl all the way and that it's kind of a lot ($20 for a rather small bowl) read more

I really had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately my experience has left me pretty underwhelmed and annoyed. I longed for a sushi burrito, so went in to order in person. First, I had to ask the attendee to speak up with pretty much every word that came out of her mouth. The frustration began to build. Then when choosing two proteins, salmon and tuna, for some apparent reason she placed all of the salmon on one side and tuna on the other. Ok, a little weird but I didn't say anything about it- I'm excited and hungry for this meal. But then we go to the other ingredients, of course having to ask to repeat what she's saying every step of the way. We get to the avocado- sure I will pay extra, throw that ish on please. But then she uses an ice cream scoop and puts one scoop of avocado directly in the middle of the burrito. ok, there's a plan right? Last comes the last add ons. I ask for Tobiko (fish eggs), and she puts a scoop of that right on top of the avocado. Now I'm hungry, this is gonna be a good combo. But wait, all of a sudden she goes to roll it right up- I have to stop her. Uh, excuse me- do you think you could SPREAD the ingredients out before rolling? Now, the manager is next to her listening and says to me not to worry that things will spread as she rolls it up. I'm exhausted at this point and just say, reallllly? The the manger rings me up for a lousy sushi burrito for just shy of $18. Halfway through my burrito I started to get a taste of avocado.. go figure. read more

Yummy poke and fast service! Fish and ingredients were fresh, and employees were very nice

Can't complain! Good place to get a quick bite to eat, satisfied with the service and quality compared to the price. Would come here again if i'm ever feeling poke and i'm around the area :) read more

I love Pokeworks and have ordered many times from the Davis, Harvard and Longwood locations so I was so excited to have one closer to home. I ordered my usual large bowl today and drive out of my way to pick it up. As soon as I grabbed the bag I was disappointed- it felt so light! The large bowl at this location is half the size of one at the others. I think there are 3 edamame total , 5 wonton crisps, and one scoop of protein. I can't see most of the other sides. I think I'll stick to the existing locations. read more
