Two poki bowls, spam and crab ragoon!

Amazing food! I loved going here with my friend, and the staff were so welcoming! Definitely coming here again, hoping to bring more people. *BIG fan of the spam!!

Rice/fish ratio was off. Too much rice. The taste was ok. They were out of edamame which is one of my favorites poke bowl toppings. The service was good and they even gave was free seaweed. The ambiance/the place is cute. Bathroom was extremely dirty.

This doesn't even look like poke..

I don't really know how I feel about this place. First time I ordered from here was a few years ago for delivery and it was decent. I moved to this area within a year and finally came back tonight since it's so close to me, but I was a bit disappointed. The lazy behind the counter wasn't really the most friendly to start off. I didn't love that their protein options were a bit limited, and I feel like the scoops are absolutely tiny given the price point. The tuna and albacore weren't extremely fresh but they didn't taste bad or anything. I've definitely had much better, but this also is not the worst. If you look at my photo associated to this review... you'll think... is this even Poke?

I used to frequent Pokiology during my early college years and tried it again for the first time in a few years and I still love it. Ingredients always taste fresh and flavorful. The restaurant itself is always clean and presentable. Every time I come over the staff members are always friendly. I truly recommend!

It was my first time trying to this poké spot today. My bowl consisted of a salad base. I like that there's even an option to mix and match the base so I added a bit of rice too. I had salmon as my protein and had onion mixed into the mild sauce which gave it great flavor. I also included jalapeño, avocado, kimchi, green onion, with the 3 way affair sauce. My bowl was so BOMB and I can't wait to come back to try out different combinations for my next poké bowl. Customer service was friendly and patient when I wasn't able to hear very well because of the masks when she was assembling my order. Pokiology offers indoor eating with cool surf board tables. Love the vibes for a midday lunch out with a friend.

Great, fresh flavors, lots of customizable options. Might be my new go to for poke delivery.

We have been here a few times now and it seems the prices have gone up. Compared to other poke places in the city, I have had similar experiences, with a cheaper bill.

Ive never had poke because I dont like raw fish, but they had other options that appealed to me. Decided to try this place since I become a pescatarian during Lent. First bite of my bowl, I was blown away with how refreshing and flavorful it was! You def get chipotle vibes in there with all the toppings. Also the restaurant was very clean and decorative! My order: Size: regular bowl with brown rice Protein: shrimp (1 scoop) and tofu (2 scoops) + sweet white onions and cucumbers Spice level: S P I C Y Toppings: tempera crunch, crab salad, seaweed salad, avocado, green onion, and topped with furikake (rice seasoning) Sauce: spicy mayo I will def be a returning customer!

No idea what a Poke bowl was. Assumed it was new fangle Asian sushi Chipotle bowl idea. Decided to stop here to try it as I was craving tuna and rice for some reason, but didn't want sushi. Shop is cute and it is BYOB. Not sure I would eat here...as much as I love the BYOB concept, once I got the bowl home, I had to put it into a larger bowl to really mix it up the way I like. Maybe they have bigger bowls if you are dining in. I will have to investigate that. Also, do not look for the restaurant on Magnolia. You can park on Magnolia, but the store is on Wilson, next to the old Starbucks. It is right in front of the Wilson bus stop. There is also a 15 min parking spot if you are lucky to snag it. We were and that is why we stopped in. On to the food. You have a choice of three bowls: Veggie (3 Tofu) for $10, Regular (3 scoops of proteins) for $12 and Large (5 scoops of protein) for $15. Once you decide what bowl you want, then the choices start. First step is to select the foundation: white rice, brown rice, mixed salad or half & half - pick any two. Second step is adding the protein in any combination: Ahi Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp, Spicy Tuna or Tofu. You also get to add cucumbers and/or onions at this stage. The third step is your spice level: non-spicy, mild or spicy. As a ketchup eater, I have to say that the spicy isn't that bad if you mix it with the non spicy. A little heat to make things interesting. The grand finale are the toppings: Seaweed Salad, Masago, Tempura Crunch, Jalapeños, Furikake, Crab Salad, Pickled Ginger, Green Onions, Wasabi. You are allowed to get all of these. They have Avocado and Crab Salad, but these are a $1 each. Also extra Masago (red flying fish roe) is a $1, but I love all three and just paid for it as I am worth it. Your creation is topped with a sauce of your choice....I chose the citrus one. Wish I had asked for extra as it is very good. Don't remember the others because I saw the citrus and all else was blank. Think there were some hot ones. I say this because the Heiress Apparent got a bowl as well as she is like Tina Turner when it comes to food and heat level...she does not do anything nice and easy, it is always hot and spicy. Not going to hold it against Pokiology that this is a healthy lunch. Not a Poke SME, so the fish was good for me. I have read reviews about it not being fresh, but it tastes fine to me. Not sure what fresh fish is supposed to takes like once you have all that good crap in one bowl, but it worked for me. I had vinegar/salt chips with my bowl and that was amazing. I will think about crunching them over the bowl next time for extra flavor and crunch. If that is sacrilege Poke worshippers, sue me because I want what I want. Service was lovely. Server behind the counter was great and friendly. Took the time to explain to me the different options. There was another gentleman there as well who held the door open for us. Assumed he worked there because he went behind the counter to help another customer, but he wasn't in a uniform. Looked more like he was getting ready to go surfing :-) If you customize the way La J and I do, this is not a cheap option, but it was delish and worth it. My only regret is that I didn't get a second bowl because I am done and like Oliver because "Please, sir, I want some more".

I called in an order for pickup, for lunch today. When I arrived at the Wilson Ave location, it seemed my order was called in to the wrong location. The owner got upset and called over to the other location. He then reprimanded me for wasting a Poke Bowl, and I asked if he would like me to leave...he apologized on my way out. As it turns out, there is NO phone number on the website for the Wilson Ave store, and just one phone number for Roscoe Village. Either way, in times likes these, not the greatest customer service. Also, they were chintzy with the fish in the bowl!

To go order, so presentation is a little compromised.

I'm confused on how this place has so many good reviews. I just got old hard flavorless rice. Worst poke bowl I've ever had no exaggeration.

4.5 stars in reality…read more Tried the vegan/vegetarian mushroom japchae. The portion size was gigantic, but the japchae itself consisted mostly of vegetables (carrots, onions, bokchoy, and of course mushrooms) so it was easy enough to finish the portion in one sitting. Despite its size, the dish was extremely light and flavourful and I had enough room for cheesecake at a neighbouring establishment. My friend ordered the pork bento box, and though I don't eat meat, the arrangement and plating of the food was a beautiful visual spectacle. We shared the spiced fries that came with a creamy aioli dip - the fries were perfectly spiced but perhaps not unique to this restaurant in terms of quality and flavour. There were many dishes on the menu that looked like they were veganizable, so I will definitely try them when I return. The ambience was unremarkable, though the restaurant was very clean. You need to order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The servers were very polite. The food is on the pricier end in the context of a somewhat characterless ambience and the fact that you need to order at the counter. My friend and I travelled for nearly an hour to get to this restaurant, and were quite pleased on the whole. We will definitely be back, and I look forward to trying more vegan/vegetarian options!

We've said to ourselves over and over, we have to try Kubo! We finally decided to go in for lunch on a cold Sunday (3/22) and we had the most wonderful meal. The space was clean, welcoming, and lively with other diners. There's plenty of seating and although I usually highly dislike high top seating, their bar seating was incredibly comfortable. We ordered the chicken eggrolls and two orders of the chicken adobo. All of our food came out very fast, and we had very attentive service. March Madness is currently going on and was playing in the restaurant. We are basketball fans so this was a plus, and we were asked if the game that was currently on was our preferred game to watch, which was very thoughtful. The food was incredible. The eggrolls were incredibly flavorful and the chicken in the chicken adobo fell off the bone easily. The sauce on the chicken was delicious and it mixed so well with the garlic rice. We cannot wait to bring friends and family to this restaurant in the future. The hot food made us feel so whole on a cold and extremely windy day. In the summer, I cannot wait to sit on their spacious, covered patio. Thank you Kubo for a wonderful experience!

OMG it was perfectly crispy, The flavors were clean and fresh. Definitely a must order. The pork belly was also perfectly cooked. The pancit loaded with chicken and veggies. This is a must return place. THe inside was cozy and not noisy. We could talk without shouting.
