The first thing that stood out to me was how fresh everything looked. The ingredients were vibrant and well-prepared. Being able to build your own bowl exactly how you want makes it a great option for a variety of preferences. If you're not into raw fish, they also offer flame-cooked protein, which is prepared right in front of you and adds a cool touch. They also have hot plate options with multiple sides, and the mac was a standout for me. read more

I love Poke and I can never get enough of it!! You can choose from the specially crafted menu or make your own. I find that eating in-house is a whole lot better than taking it to go. For one, everything is fresher; two, it's so much better eating from real wares than a plastic one, three, I am able to get extra sauces in-store if I needed. Both times I've been, staff provides excellent service and recommendations I am looking for. Gotta have extra spicy on everything! Their chili crisps sells out often too. I feel like that's the best one to tie it all up. Also can't forget about the fruit teas. Love it all! There's enough seating indoors so they never run out of space, feeling free to enjoy whenever I stop by. Thank you!! read more

Very very disappointed with poke and rice dish. The rice is super mushy like they added way too much water. It ruined the poke and rice plate. The popular chicken dish was salty. Would not order again. The salad was good and the Mac was mid. The poke dish was gross because of the mushy rice. The sauce made it worst since the rice was overly cooked with water. It was not enjoyable. The onions are not diced or chopped up, they have them in long slices. Never really had them like that it was stir fry slices. Ugh I really like Pokeworks but today was gross. Thumbs done on whoever was working. read more

The poke bowl I received was unacceptable- mostly rice and barely any toppings or fish. Did the restaurant run out of ingredients?! The avocado was also in a large clump rather than sliced like it's supposed to be. I wish I had good things to say about this location, but I will never come here again. read more

Every time the heavyset man with the large beard works i know my bowl is gonna be trash. he always forgets ingredients, barely puts enough sauce and he has a bad vibe. i just ate my bowl and not even halfway through i feel a long hair in my mouth so basically i wasted 17 dollars and gas mileage on a trip to this place. read more

I've been here a few times and I love it! The create your own bowl is great. I'm a creature of habit so I normally just get pretty much the same thing. It's always so good. I do wish that the spicy tuna was a little spicier, but that's ok. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Service is really quick as an added bonus. I also love the huge selection of sauces. read more

Would really like to do a 4.5. They were doing great until I went back to ask for more of the same sauce they had allegedly put on (soy). They said we have to charge you .75. Even after I said I couldn't taste what they had put on in the first place. Just seems like a silly hill to die on. Food is good quality, ingredients fresh. Would eat there again regardless. read more

After running errands for several hours, we craved some fresh poke and were delighted to find this spot in West Hartford. Friendly hardworking staff that worked well as a team. Very clean, including the bathroom! Music a bit loud but could still talk to each other so it just made the place feel lively at 2 in the afternoon on a Thursday. My daughter chose a sushi burrito with spicy tuna and salmon (comes with white rice), and I chose the regular 2-protein bowl with half salad half brown rice, salmon and ahi tuna. Unlimited toppings with additional charge for avocado or masago--I added seaweed salad, jalapeños, sweet onions, cucumbers, a little mango, ginger. About nine different flavors to mix and match-- I chose sriracha aioli and sweet Shoyu--they also ask light medium or heavy with the flavors! Everything tasted fresh and the light flavors were perfect, not overpowering. A very satisfying meal! read more

Walked I today @ 12:15 and I was the only person in line. The lady at the register never said a word. I stood there for over 10 minutes and finally she said something to a guy in back who came out and again never said a word and started working on a order that must have been called in. When it was finally my turn he was short and just started throwing my food into the bowl. He dropped 1/2 of the scoop of protein and didn't replace it. I asked him to and he totally ignored me. By now there was a line of people behind me and I didn't want to hold them up. I'm a woman in the trades and work all over & often eat out. This was some of the worst service I've encountered. When you're paying 15 for a salad you should get the full amount as advertised. read more

Last week we ordered California Roll and Dragon roll. Both are delicious. We recommend this sushi store.

I come to this poke place fairly often since it's in such a prime location in West Hartford. It's located directly next to Shake Shack, but the plaza connects to Trader Joe's and Old Navy and all of my favorite stores basically. This part of the plaza can get very busy, but if there appears to be no parking in the front you can park in the back. Onto the food, I paid $13.95 for a regular which is 2 proteins. They actually have lobster right now (seasonal) so of course I had to try it, though I normally get salmon and tuna. The fish and toppings always taste very fresh here, and you can see the vibrance of my bowl in the photo I attached! Very delicious poke. read more

I stopped by earlier today ( around 2pm) and purchased 8 Coco Mango Haupia, I just ate one and the white cream has a really HARD texture, does NOT taste good! I am from Sandy Hook (40min away) and usually go to the Westport location but since I was in the Hartford area I stopped by! I called you guys and was informed the recipe had recently changed but nobody mentioned at time of purchase.. there's no resolution.. I'm stuck with 7 horrible small deserts ... definitely Not satisfied.. read more

Super yummy! Even my 10 year old was obsessed with her poke bowl. I had the tuna poke bowl which was very flavorful and full of items. The best part is its healthy! There are ramen bowls as well! I think it's fun to add whatever you want to the bowl and make it completely your own! I'll be back soon!! read more

This was my first time ordering poke and I was very impressed. Great flavor and fresh ingredients. I will definitely be ordering from them again. I wasn't familiar with the sauces but they do allow you to order them on the side. I didn't go into the actual store. We just had the food delivered. read more

I ordered poke from here a week or so ago and was happy with my order! I got the poke bowl regular (2 proteins) for $13.50 I believe with shrimp and ahi tuna and a whole bunch of add ins. I got half salad and half rice and it was a good mix of both. The toppings overall tasted fresh and as far as I could tell, nothing was missing and it was a big portion. If anything, it was possible a little overdressed; I normally have the opposite issue at poke places where I have to add a ton of soy sauce to cut through the rice, but here it was more than enough. Overall very tasty though. I also got a side of spicy edamame and a side of surimi salad. The edamame was good although could have been spicier and was way too salty. The surimi salad was way too mayonnaise-y. Neither were terrible, I just wouldn't get them again. At only $2.75 a piece though it's hard to complain. Delivery was on time and packaged well. Will definitely order again. read more

This is an excellent made office lunch for anyone-- the lemonade was completely delicious, and the build your own bowl was (of course excellent because I chose all my favorite toppings) but was crafted with fresh ingredients to perfection! I grabbed take out so I can't comment on ambiance, but the food was excellent! I'm thinking about the next time I can go back already! read more

I'm not the most experienced poke consumer, but my awesome Hawaiian Ahi Classic from Pokeworks has me re-thinking a 5 Star review I gave to another place this year. This is the new 5 Star. The bowl, with its pinks, and whites, and blacks, and greens, was stunning. The contrasting soft, crunchy, squishy and wet textures were great too. And the taste, with the fresh tuna, the sweet acidity from the sauce, the vegetable flavors from the onions, hijiki, cucumbers and edamame and the heat from the chili flakes, was outstanding. There was a bit of a service hiccup, but you know when I don't mind that? When the manager is professional and apologetic about it, and goes above and beyond in resolving it. Pokeworks has my area poke championship belt and I'll be back. read more

The Poke tsunami continues to roar across our state, and we checked out a new one for us yesterday. Pokeworks is pretty much under I-84 at the Corbins Corner exit, right next to Shake Shack. They have sixty-one locations across the country and twenty-one "coming soon" including one in Mexico. This is their third Connecticut location (Greenwich is one of the "coming soons"), but the only one not clustered in the NYC suburbs of Fairfield County. The ordering process is pretty much the same as any other Poke establishment. You walk down the line Subway style, tell the super friendly and cheerful staff what you want, and they plop into your Poke bowl whatever you want. What's very cool about Poke places is you can customize your bowl a zillion different ways. Maybe the total number of choices here is a teense less than other places, but you'll still have a ton of options - seven proteins, eight bases including some I hadn't seen in other Poke Palaces Like Kale Noodles, Quinoa, Cabbage Mix and a Seaweed Wrap, twelve vegetable mix ins, eleven toppings, seven crunchies (ever see Lotus Chips or Toasted Rice Pops anywhere else?), and seven sauces. My do it your self bowl was $10.95, and I built it with Kale Noodles, shrimp, tuna, and lots of vegetables, topped with shredded nori and Volcano Sauce. I liked the way they handled the sauce decision -they ask if you want "a lot or a little" and after they add it they show you the bowl and ask if its properly sauced for your taste. That was pretty nice. What impressed me the most about the bowl was the amount of shrimp, I've NEVER had this many good-sized shrimp before in a Poke establishment. We were very impressed with everything we saw and tasted here. read more

3 things about this place: 1. Nice and clean inside the restaurant. Hand sanitizer is at the entrance for use and staffs following the protocols. I also liked the idea that you can mix and match the base of the poke bowl. Half brown/white rice with half of salad along with half kale noodles with half salad is available and good for people wanting to try both items. 2. When the proteins such as salmon or tuna sit in the container, people might think that it might taste fishy and not good but they did a great job of having the fish fresh and not fishy at all. They fill the bowl up so definitely worth the price but the price itself is not bad. 3. One very small downside for me is that I wish I get to mix and match the sauces without being charged. Even though it's only $0.75, I would be able to do choose different sauces without getting charged at other poke bowl places. But overall, this place is fantastic and I would definitely recommend to those who are craving poke bowls and I will definitely come here again! read more

I love this place. Great staff and fresh proteins. My favorite base is the kale noodles. Quite unique and I get it with half salad to make it healthier Sign up on the website they have a rewards programs and they send you discounts/promos. They have seasonal specials as well. I don't get the chicken selection but I guess there is an audience so .... They sell spam musubi and pressed spicy tuna rolls I think, mango dessert and some cool drinks. Overall this is the most convenient and best poke around so I frequent it. Now I'm just wondering why I don't check in often. Overall, this read more

This is my favorite poke takeout and although I usually grab and go, they have a small area if you choose to sit in. Service is friendly and pretty quick.

Love it here! Just moved to the hartford area from NYC and Pokeworks was one of my favorite fast casual poke spots in the city. Was really happy to see one in the area. Prices are good here, the fish is fresh, and I love that you can add unlimited toppings onto your bowl - including the crab salad and seaweed salad which are usually upcharges! I think that the regular size is plenty big enough. My favorite proteins are salmon and spicy tuna. Another plus is that the staff is very friendly and efficient! read more

Great healthful option. Grab and go to a picnic in the park ! Used to like it more... Off thing today. They said although the fish egg topping came with my order ; if I choose to get the free incremental items then I'd have to pay for the fish eggs. Makes my head hurt and makes no sense. Anyway usually I like a nice poke bowl from here , today the portions and sauce (even though I said heavy) were a little disappointing. And no chop sticks ! read more

I've only had poke once in my life. It was 2 years ago and it was pretty good but not something I'd go out of my way for. Now I wanted to have a new poke bowl experience with ny girlfriend and I wanted it from a reliable source. Pokeworks is one of those reliable sources and now I can confirm that. Ordered online through GrubHub during this whole coronavirus crisis, my order was ready to go and the pick up process was quick and easy. In the solid 15 seconds I spent with their staff they were welcoming and friendly. My poke bowl was full of fresh ingredients, exactly how I ordered it, had great consistency in the size of each ingredient, warm and full of flavor. Excellent first time experience for my girlfriend and for me as well because now poke is something I'd consider going out for regularly. Quick tip: that Pokeworks take-out bag is something you can flex with. You just know there's something quality inside it and well, it looks really nice too haha. read more

Excellent! The quality, freshness and quantity of their food, friendly service and the restaurant was very well kept/clean. I really didn't care for the seating set-up as most seats faced the walls - I'm sure in an effort to put more butts in chairs during their rush times. Arrived @ 7:30pm tonight - greeted by both employees as I walked in - and one made their way quickly to the ordering station to take my order. Ordering was very efficient, and all the components are in view and obviously well refrigerated as well. Ordered a 1/2 brown rice, 1/2 salad base ... with 3x protein (2x ahi and 1x spicy ahi) and other various choices down the line. Great selection of toppings and additional items. Also ordered an iced tea, which I was given a cup for to use the machine in the dining area. Tea and type of ice was great was well! Food was delicious and I ate most of, choosing to leave a little of the brown rice, as I was stuffed already. Refilled my drink and was on my way back out by 8:05pm after relaxing for just a few minutes and making some general observations. Very pleased with my dining experience tonight at Pokeworks in Farmington, CT. read more

To be honest, Pokeworks seemed a little to "fast food" to me to order raw seafood. But on this Sunday afternoon, after surviving a long wait for a Tech Visit at the nearby Apple Store, any belly filling station was welcomed. My wife recommended Pokeworks and I decided to dive in Kamikaze. The place appeared clean with a good crowd of customers and a friendly greeting from behind the counter. There were others ordering, so we had time to strategize our bowls. After many meals out with the same person for the last thousands of years, strategizing has become important. First, never copycat the other. Second find out what the other is thinking. Lastly, advise each other gingerly so not to over persuade the other into something less desirable. That way you can share something unique and not feel the guilt watch the other eat something not preferred. My wife ordered first, another strategy of mine, the Shrimp and Scallop Bowl with Kale noodles and individualized from their a large choice of healthy additions, less the Wasabi Sauce. I order the Hawaiian Bowl with Ahi Tuna over brown rice. My additions: Sweet onion, cucumber, seaweed, edamame, garlic crunches, and Wasabi sauce. Each bowl was assembled to order right in front of you. I even received helpful advice from our server as we worked our way down the line. Everything was delicious, we shared bites from chop sticks, and the fountain drinks also healthy. The Kamikaze, now Stunt Pilot. read more

We got the pick two proteins poke bowls, one with double salmon and half brown/half white rice, and one with double chicken and ramen noodles. My partner didn't love his bowl and thought it wasnt filled up enough. I loved both our bowls and ended up finishing his. While unfortunately it is not for both of us, personally, this is my favorite poke place in CT that I have had so far. read more

They have very flavorful poke, plus the staff is super helpful in deciding what to get. I generally like my food spicy. So they suggested the Ahi poke bowl in which tuna was replaced with chicken. It was really spicy and I loved it. They had a new item cauliflour rice, which is nothing but cauliflour cooked similar to rice. I got that, and it was something healthy to try. I got a poke burrito with ahi chicken, and that was good too. Coco mango haupia is a dessert that should not be missed. It is coconut pudding topped with mango cream, yummm. Mandarin cardamom drink was ok. read more

Love!! I've been to the westfarms location 2x. I'll post a real review next time I'm there.

Was in the neighborhood and decided to stop in here to check them out. I've been to other poke places. This place is the first I've seen that has a burrito sushi. Although I didn't get that. Which next time I will. I got a make your own poke bowl. It was really good. I like that you can have an option of how much sauce you want on it. I don't like too much sauce. My husband got their specialty bowl and they also had asked him how much he wanted. Their customer service is great. They were very patient with me. I know that I've had poke bowls before but, I couldn't make up my mind. I didn't feel rushed at all. I definitely suggest this place to those looking for poke bowls in west Hartford. Sorry. I didn't take pictures of the food. Since we took it to go. When we got into the car we dug right into the food. It totally slipped my mind. It was focused on getting that delicious food into my mouth. read more

I have a work friend who is a frequent flyer at this restaurant and has been dying to get me to try - selling me on the plentiful healthy options. She's a frequent flyer of ordering online and picking up and eating at the office. However, we went in person and sat down and ate Friday. You can have your bowl with rice or salad and I chose salad. From there you choose From several different proteins vegetables sauces and extras. You really customize it to your liking. Everything was very fresh and they were so many great healthy options. My bowl didn't disappoint and I can't wait to return. read more

It's fast food sushi in a bowl. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I always opt for the make your own bowl. The large option gets you 3 scoops of protein. The tuna was super fresh. The spicy tuna was surprisingly chunks of tuna in a spicy sauce (it's usually tuna ground up and tossed with spicy Mayo). The bowl was very filling. Next time I will skip the miso soup because it comes out of coffee like dispenser and tasted just like hot water. I would come back for a quick lunch :) read more

Pokeworks - Make Poke Your Way - Salad Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

Pokéworks is the best chain poké restaurant and has the best poké in the area. The ingredients are always fresh and there are many options. I went with the usual salmon and tuna. They do not have spicy mayo sauce that most poké places have, but sriracha aioli is almost the same except a little saltier. I also tried the mango coconut dessert, which was light and not overly sweet. It is like a more liquidly pudding and the coconut flavor is not very pronounced, which is great if you are not fond of coconut flavor like me. read more

There are a few poke spots around Greater Hartford, this one takes the cake. The variety of different ways to construct the meal are very impressive... bowl, sushi, salad, sushi burrito! The topping selection is also great. I highly recommend trying the kale noodles. They add a nice texture and taste to the dish. Pricing is a little on the higher-end compared to some other local poke restaurants in the area, but it's worth it. Relatively limited seating inside but the windows are large which makes it feel open. Will absolutely be coming back! read more
