We were glad to see a franchise of Pokeworks when we were looking for a healthy, light and easy option for take-out. It is interesting how each location is just a little bit different. In addition to the regular poke bowls, the Westport Pokeworks also featured several cooked options. We enjoyed the char teriyaki salmon plate but the favorites are always the tuna poke bowls. We are not embarrassed to admit that our custom bowls are filled with almost every topping they generously offer. It's just so good. Even our mom, who initially didn't want to go for the poke version, ended up very happy to share our entrees once she sampled them. The only thing I missed at this location where the kale noodles that another offers. Just because they caught our eye (as they are supposed to do) at the register, we tried both cookies as well as the brownie on offer. They were as one would expect from industrialized baked goods and we would skip them next time. The customer service was very friendly and the parking is super easy. read more

Your typical assembly-line styled food purveyor of raw fish poke (like Chipotle) ...you know, move along the counter and "pick your protein", "pick your base" and so on. I personally don't like this business model, I feel it makes the dining experience robotic and impersonal, reminiscent of a high school or prison cafeteria line. But I can't argue, the food is good and if you like poke, it's a good choice for a quick meal. Especially good for take-away or delivery. read more

I'm a regular. This is the best place to grab a quick bite in the county. The workers are always super friendly and efficient. I don't feel rushed when choosing mix ins. It's very picky eater friendly and there are tons of healthy choices. It keeps well in the fridge. The portions are large and it can be messy when you mix it up. It would be nice if the containers were a bit bigger. The environment is calm and quiet. There's minimal seating but usually there's no one sitting inside. I have a medium to low spice tolerance and I can handle the spicy items pretty well. I like the location since it's easy to grab a treat from the nearby stores afterwards. read more

The food and (especially) the service here are fantastic. I typically order a "Poke Your Way" and love the selections and great variety. Each online app order is reliably prepared and always ready when promised, typically in less than 15 minutes. It is a delight to be recognized walking in the door so that any one of the wonderful employees takes a moment to hand over the bag with my name while continuing to tend kindly to the in-store customer. The rewards system is great, too. It is just a pleasure to order, eat, and so thoroughly enjoy these meals. Thank you! read more

Opening day! Got poke my way regular size - kale noodle bowl, scallops/ahi tuna, lots of fixings and crisp lotus roots to top it off for $10.95. Was VERY tasty and definitely didn't feel like I loaded up on a heavy lunch yet I wasn't hungry afterwards. If you're doing poke your way, I'd recommend looking at the menu at pokeworks.com first, then you don't hold up the line when it gets busy - and it will since many of you have been waiting for this place to open like forever. There's 6 steps to complete your bowl. I breezed through on their first day but it was after 3 PM. Otherwise, maybe order their signature works which is like 8 different predetermined poke bowls, until you're more familiar with their menu. If you don't want any raw fish, they've got albacore tuna, shrimp, tofu and chicken. I think the bay scallops are cooked too, but the ahi tuna and salmon are raw. If you've got some food allergies, the signature works bowls show all ingredients such as soy and gluten so you can choose the appropriate bowl or just do it your way. As with other poke chains, toppings like avocado are extra, but you can load up on all other free mix-ins, toppings and crunch if you want some added value and a few more bites, they'd probably not get upset if you asked for a bit more of this or that. If you're not careful and add extra protein for a large size bowl and pay for some toppings, you could be nearing sushi/sashimi deluxe pricing at a typical Japanese restaurant. But that's your choice and what you're in the mood for when you get in here. Important tips - if you're shorter than the sneeze guard when you're ordering, speak UP or you'd have to repeat what you just asked for. The acoustics and ambient noise can make it difficult for them to hear you, or for you to hear them! Also, when you get to the flavors - that's their sauces that are mixed into your bowl - they'll ask if you want light, medium or heavy portions of the sauce you pick that's suitable for your taste. After you pay and find that you want a bit more flavor, you can add more sesame oil, soy and siracha sauces yourself. So, Yelpers in Westport - your own poke place is finally here. It ain't Hawaii, but it's as close as you can get for these parts of Connecticut. So get in here in high volume to constantly move the fresh ingredients in and out. read more

Limited options in the area and my co-worker picked this place. These poke places are popping up all over the country: some are great, some are decent and some will close within a short period of time. Similar to the cupcake craze from a few years back: everyone loves the concept, simple menu and fresh product. Like cupcakes, how many can you honestly eat in a week or every week, etc? So enter the poke place: fresh(?) fish, build your own (Chipotle line) and quick relatively healthy lunch. Food: Tuna was decent, but the spicy salmon did not taste fresh. I had the burrito, but the slice of nori is not well suited to properly make a burrito and the "Auto" rice dispenser didnt really properly apply the rice or the guy doing it is new to it. Even though I had minimal ingredients, the nori didn't fully wrap around. The taste was "ok", except for the salmon: there is no way it was fresh or the spicy marinade was off. I do not recommend getting it. Service: Pleasant with a smile and walk through the ingredients. There was more staff on hand than diners during lunch time: not a good sign. Overall: Its not the worst, but overall its just not very good. Prices are competitive, but the poke bowl place by my house back in IL, is more expensive (+$3/$4 per bowl), but has more fish, fresh and tastes better; as well as offer free miso soup with bowl. I will not be coming back here, but maybe over time this place can improve. read more

Great food , fresh and yummy . Staff is friendly and attentive . The best poke I had !

Something seems to be different since last year. We went back a few times, flavors were not as amazing. Dressings taste flat, we wonder if business strategy has changed? Amount they serve remains generous though. read more

Usually this is a great go-to spot for a healthcare worker who is limited to a short 30 minute break. Lately my visits have consisted of waiting 5-10 minutes at a time to order due to rush hour for lunch around 1pm. On top of waiting, once asking an associate if they accept Apple Pay, they respond with, "no unfortunately" despite the "tap preferred" logo at the entrance. I wasted about 15 minutes of my break to drive here and leave hungry because they don't accept contactless payments but advertise they do. I'll make sure to bring my wallet next time but man, what a way to make a Monday shittier than it already is. read more

Pokeworks (both Wilton and Westport) takes the experience of fast, healthy and fresh food to another level. The care and attention to customers is outstanding. It's clean. The food is great. And I go to each store regularly. If you're a fan of sushi, or just want a quick and nutritious meal on the go, I highly recommend Pokeworks. read more

My first visit to the new Pokeworks in Westport will NOT be my last. The staff offers a friendly greeting when you walk through the door to this clean and well designed format. The Hawaiian Classic was fresh and delicious. For those who know, Pagano's of Norwalk provides their fish which is always reliably excellent. Pokeworks is a welcome newcomer to Westport! read more

Pokeworks - Pokeworks in Westport Ct. So delicious. - Poke Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Today I took my family to eat at Pokeworks. We had never eaten there so decided to try it out. The staff was super nice and helpful since we had no idea what to order. One of the managers helped us with suggestions! The line went quickly and there were so many options to choose for your order. I had the Poke Salad. The food was delicious and so healthy. The restaurant is so clean and so was the bathroom! The only recommendation we have is that it would be nice to have some outside tables to enjoy eating outside during the nice weather. We definitely will return!! Oh great prices too! read more

the food here is really good! I was never a big fan of sushi untill i started coming here. I love the salmon and the chicken my favorite combination with the sirarcha aioli sauce read more

High quality ingredients and good employees can't ask for more! Somewhat pricey but worth it read more

I was excited to have Pokeworks open at this location, unfortunately I'm severly disappointed with the food. I tried it when it first opened and it wasn't good, I figured they had just opened and they were still working out their kinks and still training their employees. I just tried it for the second time and it didn't get better. The fish was NOT fresh--which just ruins the whole poke bowl. Not sure why it has the high ratings but there are other places to get much better poke that's worth the price and the fish is fresh. read more

Ran into this place while visiting my Mom, food was delicious. Very healthy and light, everything was made fresh. Friendly staff and very clean. Will be looking for their Virginia Location up in Tysons Coner ! read more

Thanks really enjoyed my experience. Staff was friendly and well informed. I choose the salmon over brown rice. The fish was fresh and coupled with the poke classic sauce, seriously yummie. I will definitely be back! read more

Went here with my daughter after a class at SoulCycle. It was the perfect post-exercise meal-filling, but clean-and it tasted great too. Will definitely be back when I have a sushi craving but don't want to spend $20+ to get full. read more

Excellent choice for a healthy, delicious and satisfying meal any time of day. My favorite is salmon and salad but I also live salmon and kale noodles or quinoa. Perfect for on the go. Put into your cooler to enjoy at the beach, riverside, poolside or at work. read more

There are far better places for Poke than Pokeworks in Westport. Sadly, the Salmon was not particularly fresh and had a mild fishy smell... This is my second and last time I will eat at Pokeworks in Westport CT and the salmon is unfortunately not up to standard. Unlike other Poke restaurants, they consistently delivered a poor fish quality. I have been eating sushi for 40 years and Poke for 5 years and know fresh when I taste it/smell it. Ironically, the non-fish part of the salad was decent. However, after several bites, I threw out the fish and bowl. So I am out almost $40 (we had three bowls in two separate visits) and nothing to show for it but an upset stomach. For the record, 99% of my reviews on YELP are positive. The owner should demand that Pokeworks corporate deliver a better product so they intern can deliver fresher fish to their customers. Sorry to be so honest, I mean no disrespect. I just had such high hopes for this new restaurant. read more
