    Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins)
    Daryn B.

    Local poke place I tried for lunch. Had the bowl, white rice, spicy tuna and salmon. Plenty of sauces and toppings to add to make it meet your taste desire. I felt like maybe they weee a little short on the variety of proteins. I believe one was chicken (not sure about trying that). Had they offered other seafood styles maybe I would have changed it up but these two are my standard go-to for poke. Clean facility. Friendly service and ok pricing. Hawaiian Sun canned drinks are available for a little more of the Hawaiian flavor. Definitely would consider when back in the area.

    Finally! We are so LATE to the game around here. Anyway, welcome to the neighborhood! It's great to have real poké as an option. A minimalist approach to the interior. Clean, communal tables. Gets loud though. Served line style (think chipotle) keeping it as hygienic as possible. So many options & choices & add ins & sauces so the combinations are endless. But to the overwhelmed, thankfully there are combo suggestions. I don't eat raw fish, so the tofu or cooked chicken is appreciated. Eat in or take out.

    2 protein with every free topping available. Excellent flavor!

    Really friendly service and my on line order was fulfilled in time. Food was fresh and delicious. Beware, the Thai chili IS spicy lol. I added it on thinking I wanted the heat but I ended up picking them all out. Good thing they only put about a dozen...

    Spicy ahi bowl- after I killed it!

    I had heard about Pokeworks. I figured I would try it for lunch today. It was easy parking and close to home so an easy option. I LOVED it. I had the ahi spicy tuna bowl and added avocado! I could eat this every day for the rest of my life. Very fresh and just the right size. I will be back for take out! If you want me to dine in at dinner you may need to add a bar! :) So good! Thank you!! I'm sorry but not much left in my pic!

    I've been to Pokeworks many times and their fish is very consistently fresh and tasty. I normally don't see the purpose in reviewing a chain restaurant but the experience that you get here, in this suburban Connecticut location, is way different from the experience I've had in in NYC locations. Customer service is great and I've always been greeted with a smile. There's also a lot more space to sit here and I've always been able to find a seat when needed. It's never super crowded and even when the line is long, it moves very quickly. In general, poke is pretty pricey but I think that if you get the fish, it's completely worth it. White rice is definitely the best with your poke bowl (in my opinion) but I usually get the kale noodles because they're also yummy and make me feel a little better about myself. They're super nice here about trying stuff before committing to it so I recommend trying some sauces before deciding which one to get. The sauce makes a really big difference on the overall taste of the bowl. I recommend Sriracha Aioli!

    Another great place to go to! Went to this place after a volleyball tournament and was hungry for something light but filling. The yuzu ponzu was healthy and taste great.

    Bowl was delicious -I just wish it was a little colder when it was delivered. I can truly say this is the best Poké in the Hamden area

    Used to wait in line at their first NYC spot on 37th street and so glad we found it in Wilton. Order from their own app to get the perks.

    Everything was nice and fresh. We ordered fairly straightforward bowls with sushi rice. Good portions. Would definitely order here again.

It was quite busy when we arrived on a late Sunday a.m. in January. Tables were filled and there was a line for ordering. We decided on a tomato cheddar soup and the Churn it Up sandwich with Havarti and provolone. We were told the wait would be 40 mins, giving us the option to wait it out or go elsewhere. We stuck it out and the food was at our table in less than 20 mins. The sandwiches were ooey gooey toasted cheesiness and paired perfectly with the creamy tomato soup. It came with a lighty dressed arugula salad. I had a freshly brewed ice tea and my dining partner got a Dr. Brown's soda. The breakfast rush was soon over but people were still coming in to eat and grab take out while we enjoyed our meals. They also offer beers and wines and hot chocolate. The entire place was very clean, including the restrooms, although I did not see any table wiping going on. Staff were smiling and polite. Plenty of parking in lot shared with other business.

    Another Wilton eatery I've been to that I haven't really gotten around to reviewing, so I guess…read moretoday was Press Burger's time because why not? This immediately caught my attention because this was the place that replaced Tom E Toes after it closed its doors back in 2020. Honestly, while I do miss Tom E Toes, I am glad this was the restaurant that took its place. It's basically your next step up from fast food, but the beef here has always been good whenever I've ordered from them. The people working there are always nice and will answer any questions I might have. It's also a very convenient place for those who are spending their day here in Wilton. My visits here have been almost exclusively while I was going to or from work. I usually pay quite a bit when I come here because I customize my meals, but that's part of the charm I've come to love about this place. It also helps that my customizations always make my meals from here extremely filling. For example, my burger today was a Build Your Own Golden Style Double (Golden Style meaning it is mustard grilled) with cheddar, bacon, cheese sauce, crunchy onions, chips, and BBQ Aioli, and my fries were Bacon Cheese Fries toasted in K-Town Sauce. May I just say that these were both yummy and satisfying! One thing I should note since I am looking at my receipt as I am writing this review, this is the first restaurant in the state that uses Zero Acre Farms Oil in 90% of its food prep and has been doing so for over 2 years (January 2024 was when they started this). I don't come often, but I will continue to come here as an option whenever the need arises for a good burger in Wilton.

    Great burger and a good amount of fries when ordered, more than other places for sure.read more
