Pros: Everything tasted fresh and it was a solid portion size. They give the sauces you pick on the side so you can choose how much to apply, which is great. The flavors I chose worked well together, but if you are looking for something different than what i got, there are a wide selection of ingredients to choose from. It was crowded at lunch in an area that is packed with lunch options, which is a good sign. Cons: the spicy tuna and spicy salmon are not actually spicy.The only things somewhat spicy were the jalapeno and the sauce I got (lajama). Also, I ordered online and chose a pickup time of an hour later, but my order was ready 3 minutes after I ordered it. So if you're going to order online, be ready to pick up. Overall, I really enjoyed my food and would recommend if you're looking for a healthy and tasty lunch in the Tysons Corner area.
They have a wide variety of delicious toppings and great portion sizes, and the service was great. The toppings and fish tasted fresh at the start of my meal, but my last few bites tatsed funky. Not sure why, because the fish was cold, but some pieces had a strange taste. Because of this, I do not recommend this store. I might try another location of Poki DC, but am afraid of the same outcome. The store itself is cute and they also have a Gong Cha inside, where you can order on the kiosk.
I'm so happy Poki DC is in NoVa! I used to get takeout here when I worked in DC and missed it since going remote. Parking was easier than anticipated at 7p on a Friday night - I scored a parallel parking spot in front of the restaurant. There was no line. My favorite local poke is PokeHub in Reston, but Poki DC has a greater variety of toppings (like mango and pickled daikon) and zucchini noodles. Portion sizes were great! I didn't care for the Miso soup (too salty), but I can't wait to return! This might be my new go to!
Delicious poke with lots of fresh options. We really enjoyed our experience. The service was fast and very friendly. The girl was very patient with us and explained everything. Nice indoor and outdoor seating area.
The 3rd floor Tysons Corner PokiDC closed; I am guessing they moved to the Boro Tysons? Either way, the only PokiDC in Virginia (yet). YAY!!! Get your lunch and Gong Cha tea all in one place! :) Friendly service and generous serving sizes. I love that they have outdoor seatings available as well as inside. Walk around the Boro to soak up your daily dose of vitamin D!
Delicious Poke bowls loaded with generous toppings! I was skeptical of Poke bowls as a vegetarian without the ahi tuna or seafood. It was a scrumptious hearty Asian salad. Love all the options and wide selection to choose from with the base of greens, rice, and noodles along with protein of choice - poultry, seafood, and tofu, and bevy of toppings, sauces, and crunchies. Great for the pickiest eaters. My Poke bowl of perfection: 1/2 mixed greens and 1/2 zucchini noodles with 2 servings of tofu and a heap of veggies - fresh mango, edamame, carrots, cucumber, corn, seaweed salad, hijiki seaweed with crunchy onion and garlic crisps with soy sauce and a drizzle of yum yum sauce (lived up to its name!) The bowl was full to the brim and perfect way to cool off on a warm day.
Honestly the best poke place in the tysons area. I've been here many times and they never disappoint. Super fast and friendly service. They are pretty generous with the toppings and ingredients are fresh. There's limited parallel parking on the street but there's multiple parking garages for the shopping area. Also, they share a space with Gongcha. No complaints about Gongcha either. Limited seating for indoor and outdoor. I'd say best for take out. Highly recommend this place and would come again.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The place is shared by Gong Cha, where you can get boba tea! The poke bowls here are generously sized and delicious! There are many different options to choose from for your base, toppings, protein, and sauces. I got a brown rice bowl with salmon, tamako egg, and a whole bunch of toppings. Everything was fresh and tasty!
I was visiting and found this place. Very friendly staff. The poke bowl was build your own and I choose tuna and salmon with varying assortment. I would come back if I lived in the area.
I like it's a combined place of poke and bubble tea which makes delivery convenient and a bit cheaper. Ordered 2 protein poke bowl, passion fruit tea and grapefruit yogult. Fish and crab salad weren't too fresh. Gong Cha was good.
First time at this location in the Boro Tysons. It was delicious and staff was super friendly. I ordered the shrimp tempura danburi bowl. It took about 5 minutes for them to make the shrimp tempura. I was able to add many toppings to my bowl and it was great. All of the toppings were very fresh. It cost $15 for the bowl. This seems a little more expensive than other Poki Bowl places, but it did come with a generous portion!
Outstanding! I'll most definitely be back, though this seems like more of a bubble tea place than a food place since I had to scan the whole menu in order to find the food at the very bottom, but my 3 protein Poke bowl as delicious, as was my milk tea with boba that I have been getting quite a lot lately as I discover how delicious it is! I will be back to try their Donkuri bowls. I love Donkuri too, but felt more like a poke bowl today. Frankly I just like this place from the food, to the friendly staff, to the nice safe setup they have in the restaurant. As a second note, after I got my food and found out my car's battery had died. While waiting for the tow truck, I asked if I could use the bathroom. They had no idea that I had been in 15-20 minutes ago to pick up my food, but they didn't care that I was just coming in to use the restroom. That's a mark of a good business, especially since we are technically still in the middle of a pandemic. I highly recommend a visit here. Especially if you are a bubble tea connoisseur. I'm not and need to become one to decipher their menu. I got a basic black tea with strawberry creme milk and boba. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back.
Finally got to try @gongcha_dmv and it was I've definitely been missing out on this bubble tea place. The flavor was on point and not too sweet. The bubbles were so soft just how I like it. Of course I always top my bubble tea with a milk cap cause I'm extra like that. And it makes the drink more creamy. This location is small but connected to Poke Bowl so you can get both! This is also next to a bunch of other restaurants so you have options for a good time. They have outdoor seating and hand sanitizer next to the cashier. Customer service was friendly also! Check out all the variety of flavors to choose from, I'm sure you'll fall in love. Pictured: *Dirty Brown Sugar Latte w/Pearl *Dirty Brown Sugar Latte w/pearl & Ai Yu Jelly

So expensive. $19 dollars, I got a lot of toppings and my bowl was still mostly rice and no a lot of fish. What are you saving ingredients for..? read more

Door dashed a grilled salmon bowl & Mango Green Tea. Barely any noodles or salmon. Waste of $21.75 on a bowl. Called and spoke to Alex. Alex said nothing could be done on their end, not all bowls are created the same, and to get a refund from DoorDash. Said he talked to his manager, asked to speak to the manager and he said she left already. Not only is the food poor but customer service is also piss poor. If you don't have enough food, call and tell me instead of giving me scraps! read more

I loved their dirty brown sugar milk bubble tea! I was a bit disappointed when they refused to split my drink into two cups, but I was still glad I found a place that sells the brown sugar tea. Price is typical for this area and I loved that the poke place is right next to it - a perfect pairing! Don't forget to sign up for their frequent visitors program. I will definitely be back with my family next time. read more
Is it poke if the protein selection is NOT raw? It's a question I always get asked from friends when I order cooked shrimp poke. Thank you Poki DC for having several options of cooked proteins from shrimp to steak! Customers can fill their bowl with starch or greens, a selection of protein, toppings, and sauces. My bowl was sushi rice with shrimp. My favorite toppings were crab, seaweed salad, ginger and crunchy onions- definitely reminded me of eating deconstructed sushi for $15 a bowl. I asked which sauce was the most popular and it was the spicy mayo. This Poki DC shares the store with Gong Cha boba- talk about a 2-in-1! Hard not enjoy a boba with the poke bowl. read more

I had a full stomach... ...at the Boro Tysons, McLean VA... from a heap of sushi rice and generous toppings. Raw fish was fresh but not the best. Toppings were fresh and a lot. Sushi rice was fresh but had a little too much vinegar. And that along with acid based sauces on top, I felt like I was eating "lemon juice". But my friend got regular rice and it was perfect combination of sour, salty and fresh. Service was friendly, fast and helpful. They were answering every single of my friend's questions (his first time to poke) without being bothered at all. read more

Whenever I'm in the area, this is my go-to poke place! They are located in the boro with parallel parking as well garage parking which they can validate. There's seating indoors and outdoors but I usually take it to go. They are very efficient and have a lot of choices for the base, protein, toppings, and sauce. They are very generous with their portions and it always tastes fresh! Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Worth the price in my opinion! There's also a Gongcha inside as well which is a great combo. #1 place I would recommend for poke. read more
A friend of mine suggested we come here strictly to try the waffle/ice cream dessert. I'm all about word of mouth referrals so I HAD to try it out. Wow - she was not wrong! This waffle ice cream dessert is unreal. Never had a waffle that was so light and airy and yet packed with so much flavor. We got the original with vanilla ice cream (I think that's the only ice cream flavor offered anyway) with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. We also got the matcha marble latte with boba which was also excellent. Super fresh. Very clean restaurant with great service. Will definitely come back here again. Hoping to try the actual poki bowls next time! read more

Small poke and tea shop in the Boro of Tysons. There's street parking if you can parallel park which I can't so I had to park in the garage. The poke is very fresh and flavorful, and I like how there are many toppings to choose from. However I felt that the portion of salmon I got was fairly small even though I ordered a large I think this place is worth trying if you're in the Boro, but personally I wouldn't go out of my way to come here as there are better options closer to me read more

Gong Cha has always been one of my favorite places to get boba tea. This location is so convenient for me to get poke bowl PokiDC & boba the same time. Their dirty brown sugar milk tea & passionfruit green tea will always be my favorite drinks! Their staff is super friendly and drinks are made quickly! Also, if you're looking for outdoor seating this place offers it! Will definitely be back! Omg...can we please talk about the poke bowl? I loveeee how amazingly fresh their fish and toppings are! The portion sizes are great if you love toppings on your poke bowl! read more

I went a few days ago and ordered their strawberry creme brulee latte along with regular black milk tea. Unfortunately they were out of regular boba (it was right before closing so that's to be expected), so I got the white boba and strawberry boba. While the strawberry creme brulee was good, it did taste a lot like they added some nesquik strawberry flavoring into it. The creme brulee itself was very good, but a tad salty if anything. The strawberry boba was pretty good but the white boba didn't really taste anything. Overall, compared to other Gong Cha locations this one hasn't lived up to my expectations but was still pretty good compared to other boba locations in Tysons. read more

Two things I love all in one place - poke and gong cha! Staff was super friendly, polite, and was all smiles (couldn't see through their masks, but saw it in their eyes ) Foodwise, the fish, rice, veggies/fruits, and other ingredients were very fresh and were well made. Portions were very generous and the place was very clean. They did everything right! read more

I have visited this location several times and the workers are always so nice and professional. They always accommodate my requests of sauce on the side. I visited today and had my usual Poki (noms, fresh) and I decided to try the boba tea. The worker asked if I needed any suggestions and was just super friendly! Will come back! read more
