Spicy Ahi Poke
John D.

I haven't told anyone this, but I want to get a jump on eating healthy. While I don't plan to become a vegan or eat anything without a single grain of sugar for the rest of my life, I figure I'd make room for more of the stuff that's apparently good for you. My craving for poke is what brought me here to Pokeworks. While it's in a shopping center just off the Gulf Freeway and Bay Area Boulevard, first-time visitors could easily miss it if they're not looking. I arrived here with the spicy ahi poke in mind. And I wasn't disappointed at all. The bowl was a nice, delicious cacophony of rice, vegetables, and of course, ahi. Freshness and consistency were the names of the game. Anyone who hasn't tried poke may think it isn't filling, but I'm here to say they're sadly mistaken. Just eat it with chopsticks. Before I end this review, allow me to sing the praises of the spam musubi. The spam was nicely cooked and the rice soft and plentiful. I enjoyed it so much that I nearly bought all what they had for sale by the cash register.

Spicy salmon, spicy tuna, imitation crab, seaweed, edamame, all DELICIOUS. I got the burrito format,

I came back to Pokeworks for a poke bowl and had a delightful experience! The staff was attentive and quick to build what I asked for (all types of seafood, two types of fish, and lots of random toppings)- it came out delicious and I think it would be very hard to go wrong with all the options they serve. The restaurant was clean, a couple other patrons were there but it wasn't too loud or distracting, and really for food this fresh, given the price and speed, its a fantastic find!

Randomly craved a poke bowl and decided to go to one close to home. The inside of the restaurant smelled like straight chlorine. I guess they wanted to clean two hours before closing? It was a bit unpleasant but at least I know they so clean. I made my own custom bowl with salmon and spicy salmon and a variety of ingredients. All of their ingredients tasted very fresh and not bad! They have three levels of how much sauce can be added. I like that because it doesn't taste like I'm drowning in sauces. They even served spam musubi! My husband absolutely enjoyed it and gave high praises. All in all, I enjoy my experience there but there was just something missing from my poke bowl. Will have to come back and order more to figure out what that is!

Spicy Tuna Ahi + additional toppings
Erin Y.

Came here to get a quick bite with my boyfriend and I can't even tell you how much he loved this place ! I swear he finished his bowl faster than the time we spent ordering ! I ordered the regular size Spicy Tuna Ahi and added a couple of other toppings from what they offered & my boyfriend created his own spicy poke bowl with spicy tuna and toppings of his choice with their spicy volcano sauce - I got a taste of the volcano sauce and it was so good I added it to my order as well ! All the toppings were fresh with a countless number of toppings to choose from ! The regular size was a generous portion size, so I suggest if you're not too hungry just order the small size !

This is my first time at this establishment. I am usually on fence about tryin new Poke places, but I decided to try this place out. The service was great, with friendly customer service. The person who attended me answered my questions regarding the menu and catering to my dietary restrictions. Food was amazing. I really enjoyed the freshness of their fish and poultry and greens. Definitely will be coming back to try their other items. If you're around the area, definitely a good place to stop by and eat.

Build your own poke bowl and hibiscus tea. Love stopping by for some fresh "fast food". I usually do half rice and half salad for the best of both worlds. Pokeworks is well priced and plenty of food.

The dude gave me a recommendation for a spicy bowl with lettuce and I loved it !
Kai E.

Amazing food absolutely delicious. The service was amazing and the guy who helped me was so nice and gave me a free spam and rice thing! The ambiance was meh but I just got a togo order so it wasn't a big deal!

Came here because I was craving poke and it's close to the area that I live in. The service was wonderful and the staff was patient with giving us little samples of the sauces they had. Everything seemed fresh and tasted nice.

Hawaiian Ahi Large & Miso soup. Sriracha Aioli & Sweet Chili Gochujang

I LOVE this place! Everything is always so fresh & on point. The flavors are exactly what they should be! Thank you so much for being awesome!!

two bowls of food on a tray
Crystal G.

A very pleasant surprise. If you're looking for a quick, healthy poke bowl, Pokeworks is the place to come. I ordered the large (3 protein) bowl with greens as my base. I chose: ahi tuna, salmon, and shrimp for my protein and it did not disappoint! The topping selection is nice and they have many different sauces to choose from. I like that they have many crunchy options to top it off with too. My bowl was extremely filling and I left satisfied. *bonus that you get a free drink offer with Yelp check in. I will definitely be back!

Organic tofu with sriracha aioli and sweet chili gochujang sauces
Surbhi G.

Vegetarian Review: I can say I'm on the path to becoming a poke enthusiast! I thought I wouldn't like it much because it'd be a cold flavorless mess with tofu but the sushi rice underneath was warm and the sauces complemented everything nicely. My parents even liked it so that says a lot in itself. I chose to make my own bowl instead of getting the signature sweet chilli tofu- glad I did, more bang for my buck & allowed me to decide what I do and don't like so I can make the perfect burrito next time. The staff here was generous and accommodated us with sampling the sauces and a few toppings before we added it to the entire meal. - The extra for avocado is definitely worth it - There's soft tofu available in addition to the organic tofu base for everyone trying to get that extra boost of protein - I recommend mixing the Sriracha Aioli & the Sweet Chilli Gochujang sauces but honestly I feel like so many combinations can go well here - Would like to try brown rice/quinoa next time but man the sushi rice was just so good. Wouldn't ever get the kale noodles on their own- tasted decent but didn't soak up the flavors enough to complete the meal as much as the rice did. Overall great place to come to if you have yet to try poke!

Spicy ahi sub for salmon
Farrah A.

Pokeworks takes a lot of my money. The Spicy Ahi (sub in salmon) with kale noodles gives me life! And the small/regular size is perfect - almost too much food - for me. I always end up with leftover for a late-day snack. This particular location was clean - all their locations are - staff was friendly despite our group popping in right before closing. They have a rewards system, too. BTW, the kale noodles are not GF. And they're rather high in cal compared to the quinoa, salad/greens or rice, but they're really good. :)

Best poke I've ever had. We went for the grand opening b/c they had a BOGO deal. Around 8 PM the line was literally out the door. Interior is brand new, clean, bright, and spacious. Ingredients were restocked constantly and were fresh. Patrons in line were respectful and moved as efficiently as they could. We ordered the Hawaiian classic, shrimp & scallop (though they were out of scallop, we replaced it with chicken), and made our own bowls. Ordered size large ($2 price difference), and I only finished half. Per recommendation of a friend, for my make-your-own bowls, I ordered the kale noodles as a base. So yummy. Would prefer this over rice or quinoa. I like the ahi tuna & the salmon as proteins. If you order a normal size, you pick 2 proteins. For a large, you'll pick 3. I also requested every topping that didn't cost extra. Lotus chips are a must. We missed out on the free coconuts they were giving out earlier in the day but didn't mind. We downloaded the Pokeworks app and got $5 credit, so we got 2 large bowls for a little under $10. Some improvements would be the staff. Many were incredibly patient with our orders, which we tremendously appreciated, but there were a few who kept persistently discouraging that our $5 app credit wouldn't work (it did, lol). Other than that, great food and a strong grand opening. Wishing this business continued success. We will be back for sure :)

Great food, a little over priced. Would rather go to a sushi place and just get several rolls of sushi for the same price.

While it doesn't remind me of anything close to New Hyde Park (#1), there is no doubt Hyde Park is…read moreone of the best dining spots in the Webster / Clear Lake area. They have mastered all aspects of a quality establishment: excellent execution and service by the staff, solid output of food, a clean and inviting ambiance for all groups, and at decent prices for a casual meal or even a date. The vibe is modern and contemporary, which makes this place both casual and date friendly. There is just enough seating options (indoor and outdoor) to feel spacious, yet also intimate at the same time. The bar offers a nice view of the open kitchen, and a small TV. Love the framed art pieces and the uber clean restrooms. While their woodfired oven cooked pizzas don't resemble anything from NY, they still manage to stand out on their own. The margherita looks the part, which is thankfully nothing like the nearby competition. The elote crema is a fun spin, the busy bee is a hearty option, and the banhmizza shouldn't work yet they've managed to pull it off. The consistency has been an issue in the past, with some that feel overly doughy, feature a less than cooked undercarriage, or an overly charred bubbly edge. Thankfully it hasn't deterred my visits in the slightest. Where there are pizzas, there are pastas and they are just as popular. The brie alfredo is a colorful and indulgent option, as is the 5 cheese mac with crunchy quinoa on top. Their totally baked bolognese is very tasty, but the short rib ragu has been the go-to dish overall. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their cocktails, which are simple but quite nice. The root beer old fashioned is potent and sweet, while the girlfriend is a nice blend of gin and elderflower liqueur with floral additions such as rosewater, hibiscus, finished with lemon and egg white. The lychee sour is also an easy one to love, while sweet tooths might love the bedrock cocktail and it's fruity pebbles infused vodka. Lastly, the staff is very on it from all aspects of service. I admire how professional they've been with every meal and give major kudos to the Asian ownership for a job well done. This is an excellent spot. ___________ (#1) Queens.

It's truly such a good spot for pizza and pasta and reminds of me of Jupiter & Pizza Waffles in Sugar Land in terms of atmosphere and vibe. They have plenty of unique options for pizza which I really look forward to trying them all. They also have some other unique menu items too. If I lived closer here, I'd definitely be visiting more often. We had the pickle pizza with pepperoni added on it as well as the totally baked Bolognese. Everything comes out hot and fresh, and the pizza is always as good as I remember it. I had the Bolognese for the first time this visit and it was delicious. A little on the heavy side but it's meaty and creamy with the cheese. Their house-made ranch is something else, I'm more of a bleu cheese guy but my girlfriend likes ranch better so we got that but I gotta say that ranch is reallyyyy good so I'd recommend trying that with your pizza too. Service is fast, you can choose to sit anywhere when you walk in. They get to you fairly quickly. I forget everything else I had in the past, but the service and food never disappoint!
