    So I was unaware that this is a chain but apparently it is. I got the soba noodles with a bunch of fixings, they allowed 25 additional toppings that you can add to your pokebowl. It was a cold noodle bowl that felt refreshing on this hot summer afternoon. Not overly spicy and perfect for the heat.

    Definitely among the better, if not the best, places I've been to in D.C. for a poke bowl, given the wide variety of offerings. I built my own bowl with marinated salmon, marinated shrimp and tuna, which is among the 10 or so protein options. I had toppings of pineapple, mango, Masago, imitation crab and tempura, along with yuzu jalapeño and spicy ponzu sauces. There are about a dozen additional toppings and sauces to choose from and my bowl was about $20.

    ordered the 3 protein bowl with pepper tuna, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, and added extra marinated tuna. The fish was fresh, tender, and generously portioned. The pepper tuna had just the right kick, the spicy tuna was perfectly balanced, and the marinated tuna was fire. I got it over soba noodles and it was refreshing, satisfying, and packed with protein without feeling heavy. They don't skimp on toppings either, and everything tasted super clean and high quality. It was super flavorful and high protein meal.

    I had never tried Poki DC but when I was looking for a poke restaurant, it stood out to me. And let me tell you, it was so good! What really called to me was the zucchini noodles they offer as a base, I love rice in a poke bowl but I was really excited for something a little lighter. And unlike many poke places, Poki DC allowed for unlimited toppings, which is what you hope for when you get poke. The serving size was LARGE for two scoops of protein, which was so filling. I will definitely order from Poki DC again, it was delicious.

    Pick Poke Bowl with 2 Proteins

    Poki DC is such a great place! I went when I was in DC at least twice a week! It is not only fresh, but the options are phenomenal. I always get the two pick protein bowl and it does not disappoint. The salmon and tuna are great and the choice for toppings are also a highlight. Everytime I went I got different toppings to mix it up. It wouldn't be complete without the seaweed salad and crab salad toppings though. If you are in the mood for Poke in DC then Poki DC is the place to go! It also has lots of seating inside in case you want to eat it there and not take it to go.

    Came here with a friend on a very hot spring afternoon. We were about to eat outside but since it was 80°F already outside, we decided to stay and eat here. The air was comfortable and there was a good amount of seating inside. I also loved the fact that they had Blackpink music on repeat. The service was super fast. The only confusing part was where the lines started and ended during the lunch hour rush, especially since they share the space with Gong Cha. It's also nice that they leave out paper bags, chopsticks and napkins out for you to easily grab and go. The price was a little high (DC prices for you), but they do give alot of food (more toppings and base than protein, but that's usually how it goes with poke places). There's a good variety of bases, toppings, and proteins and sauces to choose from. I particularly liked the yuzu jalapeno sauce and the sriracha mayo (the batch I had felt extra spicy!) Loved the seaweed topping and the zoodles and sushi rice base as half and half. The bonito flakes were cool since not many places offer that. Not so sure how I felt about the hijiki salad as it added a strange element in my bowl. All in all, high price, good atmosphere, and good food. I'll only be back if any of my good friends invite me into DC again!

    I visited with a group of 10+ students. The employees were all so accommodating of our large party; they had extra hands helping out to speed up the process, and they were sure to double check our order so we weren't overcharged. A lot of our students never had poke, and they kindly explained everything to them. I ordered a poke bowl with spicy salmon and various toppings. I was most impressed by the huge portions that they give you. If I wasn't super hungry from walking around the city all day, I definitely could have split the meal into two substantial meals. For the price and portion size, I think this spot beats out a lot of its competitors in the area!

    Poke Bowl with 3 Proteins
    Tyra S.

    Order delivery through Ubereats since there was a special BOGO deal. I was pleasantly surprised at how good and full the bowl was. I usually order three scoops of protein at pokè places bc they always skimp on the fish. Here, the spicy tuna scoops were full. Easily could have filled up with just 2 scoops. Would love an option for wonton chips as a side/bowl base but food was still good. Perfect amount of sauce, toppings, balance. Would come back/order again for sure.

    Good spot for a quick lunch. I'm a fan of the zoodle and mixed greens base, but would choose one or the other and mix in rice next time to better hold the dressing. Unlimited standard toppings which all tasted fresh. $2 upcharge for avocado, but guess that's DC pricing

    3 scoop Poke Bowl with 3 Proteins with salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna'
    Carrie B.

    The food was great. I ordered a 3 scoop bowl and asked the person helping me for some of their recommendations. He gave wonderful recommendations. After a long day at work this was an incredible meal! The shop can get crowded but that just shows how good it is.

    Kind of disappointing price wise when doing delivery and factoring in that cost plus tip plus service charge. I ordered the 3 protein bowl w salmon, marinated salmon (not sure what it's marinated in but I liked it), and ahi tuna. I'm pretty sure each protein portion can't be more than two tablespoons. I know this because that's the same amount I feed my dog of her salmon/pea mix. Anyway, the fish was reasonably fresh. I don't know what I was thinking putting fish flakes as the crunch because that stuff smells awful. The other sides (cucumbers, mango, seaweed salad, pickled radishes, green onions) were just ok. Again, portion size was just limited and the rice really overwhelmed the entire dish. Overall, I prefer the poke place in the pentagon city mall.... except for the fact that I've gotten food poisoning there at least 3 times, other than it's a much better deal (when you don't end up purging your entire meal after a few hours).

    The best poke in DC!! Some places give too much rice and not enough fish, but the portions here are solid. Love the range of toppings too!

    Fresh fish, good value. I like the marinated tuna. Hijiki sea weed is also good. Like the sushi rice.

    My hotel was just a block from here. After the first bowl, I had to come back for a second the next night. It too was excellent.

    I got a poke bowl from Abunai this past Tuesday delivered via Uber Eats. There are a few coupons on…read morethere, and I was craving something on the healthier side, so Abunai it was. BUILD YOUR OWN BOWL (REGULAR) - 10 (12 on Uber Eats) +6 for 2x salmon +6 for 2x ahi tuna +1.50 for avocado I made my bowl with half sushi rice/half mixed greens, green onion, edamame, seaweed salad, furikake, masago, and sesame seeds. However, there were practically no masago in my bowl. I wanted to try a few sauces that sounded interesting, so I requested for the abunai, kabayaki, and garlic aioli sauce but specifically asked for it ON THE SIDE so the entire bowl wouldn't be overly saucy or soggy. Upon receiving, I saw that all the sauce was smothered in my bowl. I also got no utensils even though I requested some. At the end, I left half of the rice and mixed greens because it had way too much sauce which was incredibly overpowering. The quality of fish was fine, and I enjoyed it with the avocado. Meh. I think my experience would have been a lot more positive if the sauce was on the side for sure.

    Brought my husband and a friend to Abunai for dinner to satiate a poke craving. It was quiet and…read morethere was one employee putting orders together behind the counter so we ordered at the kiosk. My husband and I both built our own poke bowls. Loved the options offered, and I loved my salad bowl. On the downside, although we both ordered the large size with double protein, it was a light meal (albeit delicious). Service wasn't great- we didn't get a text that our food was done and the employee didn't call out that our order was ready. After a 20 minute wait we asked if our order would be ready soon and it had been sitting on the back counter with the to go orders.
