Too much sauce
Eileen V.

Too much sauce. Disappointing. Had to remove the fish and toppings. We did not enjoy our food. This is the 2nd time this happened

Roxy S.

Good poke, a bit pricy. Average bubble tea but I love bubble tea with poke. Not many seats but if the weather is good you can sit outside

Customized Regular Poke Bowl
Martha K.

I was feeling poke today so I decided to stop by the Woodbury location. I got my usual customized poke bowl with white rice, salmon & tuna, assorted toppings, and spicy aioli and classic sauce. In my opinion, I think this is the best poke spot in the area and I always make sure to stop by this specific location. They took my order rather quickly, which I appreciated because they usually handle online orders before me. The ambiance was a bit empty today, but that's probably because I didn't stop by normal lunch or dinner time. Just a side note, make sure to not get the "heavy" option for sauce because mine was drenched and was more on the soupy side. Completely my fault though because I ordered that but didn't expect it to be like that. Get either the normal or light option. Anyways, I will be stopping by for more and will probably order something different. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5

Poke Burrito - Regular (2 Proteins)
Elias L.

Pokéworks is right near my job so i decided to give a whirl since I'm into poké and wow! The fish is so fresh and everything is well seasoned especially when you get their classic sauce. One thing that stood out was the selection of toppings, you can style your poké burrito/bowl to your heart's content. Very pleased with this poké and i'll be sure to come back.

Garlic Spam Musubi, Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins), Hot Miso Soup
Josie T.

(Ordered via UberEats) I love myself a good poke bowl. I saw the reviews and decided that I should give this place a shot for lunch. I got the poke your way combo and a garlic spam musubi. Miso Soup: Honestly...wasn't it for it. The flavor just wasn't there. It was hot still which was good but it was missing something and I couldn't put my finger on it. I would not order this specific item again. Garlic Spam Musubi: I should've ordered more. One was not enough to satisfy my love for these. Each bite was more flavorful than the last. Now I don't know why these hit so good but man the seasoning was amazing. Hands down one the best things I've eaten. I will probably just place an order for specifically this item. Poke bowl: Delicious and filling. I got the salmon and chicken and oof! Incredible! All the flavors just mixed so well and complimented each other. I was dancing at my desk after each bite. Nothing was too overpowering and the portions of protein were generous for a regular size. Definitely ordering this again! All in all I loved getting lunch from here and I definitely recommend giving it a shot! Definitely not interested in the miso soup though.

Volcano bowl
Elena Y.

Pretty good! Ordered from door dash. Quick and clean. I've been to many poke spots before but this one is delicious and the quantity of fish is fair. Will be back soon!

Hawaiian Classic, perfecto!
Bill S.

Once again, Nassau county gets all the good spots! This is probably the best Poke I had in a long time, Pokeworks has the process down. Its the same concept as Chipotle, you start at one end and work your way down the line. I didn't want to get all loopy with the line items so I chose their speciality bowl, the Hawaiian Classic. First they ask for the base, White Rice or Brown. I like brown rice. Then in a separate bowl they take fresh ahi tuna and mix it up with green and sweet onions, some seaweed, a little cucumber, chili flakes, sesame seeds, roasted sesame oil, their pokeworks classic sauce and finally hawaiian salt. Once everything is married together? I'm given a bowl of Poke Love. Making my way down the line, my server asks what type of crunchy toppings I would like on my creation. They have 10 choices, it's a little overwhelming but I asked for Wonton Chips. Just say you didn't want a signature bowl? Easy Peasy! Pokeworks has bowls made your own way as well as a fat burrito or a simple salad. There are many protein choices, from Tuna, Tofu, Salmon, Scallops, Shrimp, Chicken and of course Ahi Tuna. There are lots of choices, Pokeworks offers the freshest ingredients to you and puts together something pretty special. I grabbed a Infused iced tea with my meal, everything was fresh and flavorful. Pokeworks? I choose you! Pokeworks is a great place for healthy and fresh food.

Create your own bowl
Meri L.

Eh. Eh was my impression from start to finish. To begin, I wasn't even greeted with a "hello" or a "welcome" the worker had a bowl ready for me to tell him what I wanted. A greeting would have been nice. The way it works.. You pick what you want. Bowl, sushiritto, salad and I believe one other thing. Pick your proteins and the toppings. I went with a bowl with brown rice. It's interesting how it's done here. The rice is in one bowl. Then your proteins and toppings in a other. Then everything from the second bowl gets poured onto what is in the first bowl. I don't see why. Just put everything in a bowl at once. It's more environmentally friendly. Stop wasting bowls. For my proteins I went with spicy salmon, spicy tuna and regular salmon. It was honestly just average. Nothing wowed me or wooed me. For my toppings I got cucumber, mango, seaweed salad and avocado. The toppings were fresh. It's an extra $1.50 for avocado. I understand avocado is extra, but I feel $1.50 is a little too extra for the amount that they give. I got their signature sauce as my choice of sauce and it was flavorless. On the side I got a chipotle sauce. It was basically a spicy mayo. For my bowl + avocado it was $18! That is overly pricey, and not even worth it. Seating is terrible too. There's two high tops, one long table, and then a high table against the window with a few chairs. Sorry Pokéworks, you don't work. Poké(doesn't)work.

Poke bowl and mango/coconut custard
Jean R.

Pokéworks is on the ISLAND! and... it's the best poke available on the island. This restaurant is like a Chipotle for sushi lovers. Choose your base, protein and toppings. Healthy, very fresh and so flavorful! The workers are friendly (even when I show up 10 minutes before they close). Pro tip- get the app! You get a $5 credit and there is a rewards program.

Poke Bowl - Large (3 Proteins)
Alicia G.

Very satisfied with the food! While we all know poké can never compare to an omakase's quality of fish, the quality was still very good! They have a good array of of Hawaiian drinks and the lychee and guava ones were pretty good. I've had musubi before, but wasn't much of a fan of the sweet sauce put on this one. I'm not too crazy about coconut that's usually in mango pudding, but this mango pudding was actually quite nice. Will definitely come back again!

Poke Bowl (2 Proteins)
Esther L.

This is a great spot for poke. The fish is fresh and they have a lot of options for toppings and mix ins. Pro tip: order through the app to pick up your food fast and rake up points for free poke down the line.

2 protein with half salad and half brown rice. So delicious!
Liz P.

I was visiting the area for work and was in the mood for a quick healthy dunch. Ordered through Yelp and drove to pick it up. Service was fantastic and they even let me use their restroom. Flavor was amazing, evenly balanced, fresh and delicious. The place was nicely kept and the restroom was clean. Can't complain! Thank you!

Juju W.

So yummy! Poke restaurants always makes me a bit stressed w. All the choices. Luckily the server was patient and my bowl was so delish. A pretty seating area in a nice shopping square.

The poke bowl was fresh with a good amount of fish and again, I loved all of the toppings and things that you can add for free (the avocado is extra). Both bowls were very tasty and good sized portions.

Hawaiian Kitchen, based in Bethpage, absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the start, they were incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I had originally requested 2-liter bottles of soda, but since they didn't have them in stock, they proactively delivered individual cans instead to ensure our team had plenty of drinks. Now, for the food--it was phenomenal. Our office hasn't stopped raving about it! The Coconut Shrimp and Grilled Shrimp were huge hits, and the Angus Steak was incredibly tender. Even the Chicken Fried Rice was a standout, and all of their signature sauces were delicious. They also did a large house salad for us with the most incredible Ginger dressing. I had numerous people ask me where I found them, and I couldn't wait to order for their next small house parties or to pick up dinner on the way home. It was all so fresh and not greasy. We also ordered spring rolls that were so light and crispy, pineapple fried rice that was really delicious, and marinated chicken and steamed broccoli. If you're looking for reliable catering that people will actually get excited about, I can't recommend Hawaiian Kitchen enough. THANK YOU for making me look like a superstar! We will definitely be ordering again! PS - they are a small, family-owned business, and I love supporting businesses like that that really care. Give them a try!

The menu had mostly Hawaiian options to choose from. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I had the customizable poke bowl ($15.95). There was a number of different options to choose from with different proteins, toppings, sauces, etc. I had a base of brown rice with avocado, cucumber, sweet corn, edamame, mango, ahi tuna, spicy mayo, ginger, wasabi, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro. This was nicely done. Everything appeared fresh and it was a good size portion. I would have just liked to seen a little more ahi tuna present, but besides that, very pleasant and filling. I also had the spam musubi ($2.95) and a side of macaroni salad ($3.95). The musubi was okay. It was a little dry. There needed to be more sauce present. The macaroni salad was a heaping portion, and it was tasty. There looked like a lot of mayonnaise present, but it was not too overpowerful as some type of sugar seemed to be incorporated to balance it out. Regardless of what it was, the salad was flavorful.

They say 3 scoops, but the scoops are tiny. Each scoop had 4 pieces of fish. Thats fuxking ridiculous! All the other places I've been to use the big ice cream scoops. The poké bowl is a rip off. Just go somewhere else that will actually give you more than 4 pieces of fish per scoop. Would give 3 stars, but 2 stars because of the poké bowl. People are nice and service was good. Ps. Stop putting raw onions in your Mac salad. No good

They have many menu options ranging from preset poke bowls, to make your own, combo meals, and mini meals. Drinks are about $2.50 a piece, and a wide variety of Hawaiian Sun, casual soda. I was tempted to get the mini meal since I don't eat a lot, but I ultimately caved and decided to get the combo meal since I wanted to try the Kailua pork too. The verdict? The Kailua pork was a little too salty for me, it comes mixed with like cabbage or lettuce, and overall very mushy which I didn't mind. However the Chicken Katsu came with a bbq type sauce and everyone thought the sauce was delicious. My fiance ordered the bbq mix which included the bbq chicken, beef, and short ribs and I thought the beef was so yummy. The portion size was big. All the combos come with either 1-2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad. My meal was pretty perfect for 2 whole meals for me. I ate the katsu with my leftover rice for breakfast the next morning!

Them mango smoothie was a nice size and delicious! I ordered my food to go and had a very short ride so the good was still hot. We tried the Hawaiian Garlic shrimp. Small size was plenty as it had 7 shrimp over sticky rice with some mixed vegetables in a cheesy buttery sauce. It had nice flavor. Also tried was the Hawaiian Ahi Bowl ( poke) which had plenty of fresh tuna with same veggies. Again a small size was plenty. Lastly I tried the Musubi which is a slice of Spam on top of a bar of cooked sticky rice with seaweed paper around it to get it together. Hawaii has been the # consumer of Spam for many years so I had to give it a try. The salty, smokey flavor of the "meat" along with he sticky rice was a good combo, but the seaweed wrap just gave it a slight fishy taste I could do without. I would say to try U'I for a change up for when you are in the mood for Asian food.
