    Poke Bowl
    Justine T.

    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!

    Poke bowl loaded with veggies!!

    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!

    Delicious Poke bowl
    Stefan S.

    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.

    Dirty Brown Sugar Coffee Milk Tea

    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

    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.

    The bubble tea left us disappointed. It was sour and watered down, the boba bland and rubbery. Usually good service just depends on staff!

They share a space with other businesses in a somewhat food hall/bar type of vibe. Some businesses from the original "the block" food hall have moved here like snocream. There are a lot of different plate, bowl, and combo variations to choose from. For my first time, it was very hard to choose but I opted with the seafood combo which has fried fish, fried shrimp, and a choice of meat. The flavor is amazing especially the bbq marinade on the beef. The batter used for the shrimp and fish tastes the same, a little bland, but light batter not overly greasy. I'm not sure what authentic hawaiian food is supposed to taste like to compare this but I think the seafood needs some kind of sauce. Portion size is great, one combo plate can be shared between two people but u might want to have your own as you're eating it. The take-out menu vs. dine-in menu are a little confusing, I'm not sure which has the better value and/or if theres any difference in portion size or what-not but we got the to-go combo and just ate in store. The dine-in menu I was told just gets plated instead of put in a box but i'm wondering if you get more/less meat in that sense because why are there two different menus? Overall this spot is pretty solid and a different kind of cuisine thats good to have around the area. I will likely come back and update my review as I try the other items on the menu and as they continue to renovate the space.

These are definitely supersized musubis. Each one is packed and you can tell by the weight of the carry out boxes. They have a nice variety of menu items which include drinks, onigiris and poke as well. Seating inside is limited but there's plenty around the restaurant. Wait times were short and we each enjoyed our food. There's a wide variety of musubis to choose from including the savory or health conscious ones. Definitely recommend some wet wipes as these musubis got messy.

    Well, well, well! Let's just go straight to the point...the musubi needs a lot of work--A LOT!!!…read more 1. The rice -- WTH! The rice was so soggy!!!They put too much water when making rice, too much water!!! It's so easy--it's one to one (one cup of rice to one cup of water). Taking a bite felt like I was eating mush! Each bite was just plain nasty!!! DANG!!! 2. The menu -- many items on the menu are NOT even Hawaiian (i.e., Hawaiian Macaroni, Hawaiian Kimchi, etc.) -- in Hawaii, we DO NOT eat macaroni and cheese. The ONLY macaroni we eat is Macaroni Salad. As for Hawaiian Kimchi--there is NO SUCH THING! Thats a Korean dish and NOT a Hawaiian dish. Dont disrespect a Korean dish like that! 3. Plastic Wrap -- have we not learned that wrapping hot food items are bad to be wrapped in plastic!?!? Come' on people! There's chemicals in the plastic and when in contact with heat--the chemicals are now on the food!!! One positive...they have hand wipes to wipe your hands before and after you eat! Sorry but as a guy that was born and raised in Hawaii--I know what a good musubi is and this place DOES NOT CUT IT!!! Such a travesty and a disgrace to a Hawaiian delicacy! I ain't coming back here and I'm better off just making my own musubi--THE RIGHT WAY!!! GET IT RIGHT CAPITAL MUSUBI!!!

Only downside is the owners are Gators I think so there's no FSU stuff in the entire place! I always enjoy coming here and having a tasty beverage or two on the patio and listening to some live music while enjoying some grilled shrimp tacos. I've had other items and enjoyed but the grilled shrimp tacos are my go to here. Food and drinks are just as good in the winter but it's not quite Florida weather so I'm eating inside when it's too cold for flip flops. The margaritas are always enjoyable as is everything else I've ever had to drink. The grilled shrimp tacos are also always just right and they bring the shells and tortillas separately so you can fill the shells yourself make them just how you want them. I usually choose corn tortillas and black beans but they also offer flour tortillas and refried beans as options. Service is always fast and friendly here, even when they're crowded on a weekend. This place is a must try if you're a Floridian in exile or just want to enjoy the beach bar experience in Falls Church.

So when I got invited to come to lunch here with some friends, I jumped at the opportunity. One of my favorite things about Lazy Mike's is all of their vegan options. Having previewed the menu here, it looked like there was a similar array of vegan friendly dishes here. I ended up ordering the vegan Phish and chips. The fried tofu was absolutely delicious and their vegan beer batter was perfect. Unfortunately, I had to white pieces of broken plastic that ended up in my mouth. I was very lucky that when I bit down on them, it was at an angle that they didn't go into my gums. I'm not sure if it was in the fried tofu or if it was in the tartar sauce that accompanied. After making the server aware, he was apologetic and offered to put something else in for me. I ordered the vegan chili mac. It was OK. The lentil chili was delicious, but I figured the dish would come with some kind of vegan shredded cheese on it, but it was just a naked lentil chili over a bit of linguine. I asked if they had any kind of a vegan cheese they can melt over the top, assuming that, like their sister restaurant, they would have some vegan cheese slices or something but he said they had nothing. I was also a bit disappointed that the manager never came over to check up or apologize about the sharp shards of plastic in my food. At the end of the day, I'm convinced that my experience was the exception here so I will be giving them another try, mostly because I really want to support vegan-friendly establishments. I probably won't order the vegan chili mac again, though.
