Love the Poke at this place! It's definitely one of the better ones I've had in the city. They do not skimp, and their toppings are super fresh. I opted for the zucchini noodles and brown rice base, shrimp, salmon, avocado, and a bunch of their other toppings. The combination of sauces that I used was the yuzu, poke, and spicy mayo. It was perfect! The workers were so helpful and kind. His name was Jacky, and he gave the best recommendations on sauce and toppings. The other workers were nice as well. Would come back if I'm in the area again! read more

Pokébāb - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great fast food experience! 5 Stars!! Service was great and the food was AWESOME! You can create your own ingredients or pick up one of their special dishes. Everyone was friendly, prices are fair, the staff were really accommodating. I ordered my ahi tuna poke bowl as I thought I had over an hour for an appointment at the Apple Store down the block. My server just finished making it and , my surprise Apple texted me that it was my turn. I only left the Apple Store about 10 minutes prior. My server said "no worries" I will make you a fresh bowl when you get back. That's just what he did about an hour later. It's very clean, they have 3 tables, Bench seating and bar stools. They have drink assortments and everything was fresh and healthy. Prices are fair as well. I would highly recommend Pokebab for a healthy meal that satisfies. read more

Poke is my go-to when I'm traveling and need a quick lunch :) Pokebab is your classic BYOB (Build Your Own Bowl) Poke spot - and does not disappoint! I got a 2 protein BYOB, and it was about $16-17. They have a very large variety of toppings, sauces, proteins, and bases. Everything is fresh. They do not charge extra for toppings like seaweed and crab salad, which I appreciate. It's a small shop with a small amount of seating inside, although I did take out. The interior is sparkly clean. Staff are polite and efficient. They also PACK your bowl and do not skimp on toppings :) read more

I got a make your own poke bowl and it was so filling and delicious!!! I ordered it via Grubhub and it was waiting for me when I arrived for pickup - the staff seem on top of it. My only feedback is that the mangos weren't ripe yet but I could barely tell given how delicious and fresh the fish was. read more

If you're looking for a quick and healthy bite to eat, this place is pretty good. It's not going to be the same level of poke that you'd find in Hawaii or even California but its very convenient for those who live in the neighborhood read more

Pokébāb - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I needed something quick near the Bedford Ave L, and the convenient location of this poke shop made it an easy choice. It's a small shop with a few tables near the front. Service was good, the guys behind the counter were friendly and turned out poke bowls quickly. Ingredients here didn't stand out. My bowl was pretty ordinary, and the rice was maybe a little dry. It was fine for a quick meal, nothing I'd seek out though. read more

my food was moldy, i had to go to the hospital. There were a bunch of other people who got sick as well. STAY AWAY 5/19/26

Strolled by this poké place while I was in Williamsburg yesterday. The ingredients on the menu sounded and looked fresh from Yelpers' reviews. Ambiance wise was a no-frills kind of poké shop. Had about 4 tables with seats inside. Your order came in either a bowl or burrito with mixed greens or none at all in Chipotle style. * Build Your Own Poke Guide 1. Bowl or Burrito 2. Base 3. Protein 4. Sauce 5. Toppings 6. Crunch Ordered a Regular size bowl of poké ($15). I chose brown rice as the base and 2 proteins (tuna + grilled chicken). As for the sauce/dressing, I'd decided on the non-spicy yuzu ponzu flavored soy sauce and eel teriyaki sauce. Sad to find out that they would only let you do up to 6 toppings unlike free unlimited toppings at almost everywhere else. Asked for the tempura flakes & nori (dried seaweed flakes) as the crunch. Can pay with cash and/or credit/debit card as the accepted forms of payment. Fast service from friendly staff. Loved how chewy the texture of the brown rice was. Not too hard and not too soft. However, I was super disappointed with how little of the protein I'd gotten ~ there were only few tiny cubes of tuna + grilled chicken (and you're telling me this is how the regular bowl is supposed to look like?!?) So pricey but definitely not enough pieces of protein in my bowl. NOT OKAY. Paying this much and then only getting few pieces = the ratio is totally wrong. The flavors of the sauces/dressings were very delicious. However, I don't know and don't understand why didn't the staff just mix the sauce with the food together?!? So unfortunately, not every corner of the poké bowl was drenched with sauce in the end of course. This should be something that the staff needs to work on in the future. As I'd already mentioned about it before, getting only few pieces of protein just didn't do the trick for me especially not for the prices I've paid. The crunch was basically pretty much similar like everywhere else. The tuna and chicken tasted freshly prepared and seasoned, just that the quantity wise sucked pretty much. Ingredients and sauce/dressing weren't mixed together as I have hoped that they would. Was still hungry after eating the regular bowl. Mhmm don't really see myself going back to this place as a regular customer whenever I'm in Williamsburg. This would ONLY be my first and last time coming here. The food was rated more like a 3.5 out of 5 since half stars couldn't be given. read more

Chill small poke bowl place, but they have several tables if you wanna dine-in. Very nice staff, love how the female on the sunday shift always smile :) read more

Love the variety of toppings here! I mixed salad and zucchini noodles as my base and the bowl overall was super refreshing and light. The fish is fresh and service was great. Def rec the yuzu ponzu if you want a lighter but citrusy taste. The only con was I wish the actual bowl container was a big bigger so that stuff wasn't falling out when eating (this is a testament to how generous the portions are though!) read more

Pokébāb - Build Your Own Poke Bowl (Regular) 2 Protein - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very nice place and friendly service. Haven't had poke in a while. Happen to run into one in the bustling streets of Williamsburg. I got the build your own bowl with 2 proteins. It was $14.99 + 2 for avocado. My bowl included salmon, tuna, mango, masago, seaweed, tomatoes, jalapeños, half an avocado, ponzu Yuzu sauce, and rice. Everything was good except for the rice. The rice was a little hard. The lychee Hawaiian Sun drink was $3. I like Hawaiian Sun drinks. Had them in Hawaii but never had the lychee flavor before. It was a little too sweet for me. The restaurant was very clean and bright. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here. read more

Had the spicy salmon bowl (regular size) and it was really good! I thought the portion size was pretty generous and actually could not finish the whole thing in one sitting. All the ingredients were fresh and complimented each other. It had the perfect amount of kick to it. Friendly service. Solid poke spot in Williamsburg. read more

Pokébāb - 4. Spicy Salmon (regular - $13.95+tax) - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always seeking for another great place to grab poke. This place offers signature bowls or you could create your own from a small or large size. I love how they had so many options of toppings, protein, base choices, and sauces. All of the ingredients tasted fresh. Even the raw ahi tuna and salmon were delicious. I don't think they were the freshest since it was later in the day, but each of the fish's had a nice malty buttery texture to them. I would say the overall price of the bowl is on the higher end, but totally worth it since they fill your bowl up. I do wish they added a little bit more sauce to my dish, but noticed they put so much on my boyfriends. I think better sauce consistency would be great. Definitely will be ordering from here again, whether it's another DIY bowl or trying their sushi burritos! read more

Terrible customer service!!!!!! I literally ordered a vegan bowl on caviar and they send me a raw fish wrap. I do not eat fish. This is really really upsetting and I'm never stepping foot in this establishment or ordering food from them again. I waited OVER AN HOUR for food I CANNOT EAT. read more

I'll be honest, at first I was hesitant coming here because I've been having just alight poke bowls experiences around Manhattan. After working out in Williamsburg one day I decided I want miso soup and something healthy. So I popped in here on my way walking to the L train. To my surprise the price is reasonable and the bowls are gigantic and food is good. So far I've 2 of their bowls and making my own. I personally get salad poke all the time but I'm sure the other items are just as good. If you want less sauce or anything be sure to let them know. Overall it's a great spot to grab quick lunch or dinner. I love coming here by myself or a friend and just chilling. Good fast casual and healthy. read more

Pokébāb - Tataki salad bowl - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place has a large assortment of options for those looking to make their own bowls. The DIY nature of eating isn't really my favorite - you don't get any context of how to match flavors and end up with an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-style melting pot of ingredients. That being said, the food was good and the Sauces enjoyable. read more

Its good. I liked it. Not the best poke but very good. Guys are very nice and helpful. Place is clean. Food is fresh. They even have an octopus. I will be coming back if I'm near by. read more

Ordered poke for delivery it did not disappoint! Got a large bowl with brown rice, salmon, tuna, sriracha aioli and pokebab sauce! So good! I got extra sauce bc imo it's needed If you get zucchini noodles the bottom the the bowl gets watery and doesn't hold the flavor of the sauce. But the noodles are good! I prefer the brown rice it has good texture, it's filling, and soaks up all the sauce The bowls are very filling & they don't skimp on the toppings! I wish they mixed the sauce with the veggies/ toppings. read more

Falsely advertised delivery in 30 minutes. Order never arrived. They don't answer their phones.

Another good place for poke. It's one of those fast casual restaurants you order at the counter. The bowls are whatever you want in them. Good vegetarian choices. Service was fast the last time. I had the bowl. It's about $11 for a bowl. You can put as much as you want. It's set up to choose items from several categories. The proteins available include chicken, tofu, and tuna. I had tofu, which surprisingly tasted fresh. This didn't taste like it had been sitting in a container for several weeks. Casual and fast. It's good if you're in a hurry. The menu is easy to understand. read more

Pokébāb - The Tofu Classic - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Lowering my rating by one star. Service is a hit or miss here. Sometimes the staff is super generous and unlimited with toppings and then sometimes they limit you to 6 and give you the tiniest morsel of the toppings. When you ask for more, they give you one more tomato. One of the woman behind the counter always has an attitude the last two times I had her and she looks so reluctant to give you anything. Just leaves you with such a bad taste that I might as well just stick to the poke places in Manhattan instead of coming to this closer to home. read more

This is my new favorite place to get poke bowls! The portion sizes are huge here; the ingredients all taste fresh; and I love all the free topping options here that often come at an extra cost at other poke bowl places (like seaweed salad, crab salad, and masago). I always get a bowl with white rice and spicy tuna to start, which comes with 2 big scoops of spicy tuna. Then I just go to town with the toppings and sauces, and I love that they don't skimp. The final bowl is always massive and could make 2 meals if I wasn't so greedy. My tip would be to choose at least 2 sauces, since the toppings themselves are not very salty. My husband made the mistake of getting a bowl here and only going with one sauce (he also made the mistake of not grabbing any soy sauce to go). The end result was an underseasoned bowl, which is not something I've encountered. I also love that I've never seen a line here, so it's nice to know I can get in and out in minutes with my lunch. I always make this place a stop whenever I'm in Williamsburg. read more

Been there a few times and I had a different experience every time. First time was great. Got a large poke. Everything was good. It was definitely a large portion. Fish was fresh and good. Second time I got a large and a standard size and both were the exact same size so I assumed it was an honest mistake. Third time same thing, one large and one standard and both were the same size again and this time it it didn't taste right. Maybe I was just unlucky but I will not give it another shot. read more

Consistently delicious and high-quality! I have to stop myself from coming here every day.

I got pokebab for lunch (delivery) and I was overall satisfied with my bowl. I did a make your own bowl is lots of add ins in addition to a seaweed salad. For all of this + delivery and tip, it was only $24, and the quality was good. The vegetables were fresh and the portion was reasonable, but I've definitely had slightly better salmon in the past..! I would potentially go back. read more

Drawn to this place from all the highly rated yelp reviews. Clean space with minimalist decor. Very helpful and friendly staff. From their menu, they had signature bowls, burrito bowls as well as custom made bowls. I chose the build your own bowl section with salmon and the seared tuna. Added brown rice, corn, onion, peppers, crunchy toppings and seaweed salad. My bowl had the perfect portion of grains and greens. The fish was very fresh. I got the teriyaki as well as the Yuzu sauce. Both with good flavor, not too overly salted. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed my meal. read more

Fairly standard poke - not worse or better than you'd expect. Issue is that prices are above what you would expect and sizing seems way off. Over $19 for a 'large' that was the size of most place's small. Disappointing. read more

Pokébāb - 'Large' size poke - Over $19 - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

For a $20 bowl - they gave like a small portion of protein. So cheap of them to charge $20 and give like so little protein. Taste was meh so i don't know why they're saving their protein as if it's some high quality stuff. VERY disappointed. We ordered delivery so maybe they thought they could be cheap and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. read more

If you want a healthy, clean meal then you may want to try this food spot. The food is good but nothing that I would go out of my way to try. It is just basic, healthy poke bowl if that is what you are looking, you won't be disappointed. I think it is a little pricey for what it is but I guess it is NYC and the inflation is not helping. read more

I placed an order on Grubhub today. And I accidentally put the wrong address and I called the restaurant saying that it's up to the driver so the driver asked for my address I sent it and I've been waiting for an hour and some change so I called the restaurant and the lady who answered all of a sudden, gave me an attitude and refused to giveme her name. Saying that they can't do anything about it. It's their own driver delivering it. The service is absolutely horrible. The respect for the customers is horrible. I will be coming in person to see who is responsible for this. Thankfully, GrubHub was good enough to give me a refund. read more

Good poke with many options including sauces. Staff is nice and helpful.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. I had the spicy ahi tuna bowl with brown rice and it was delicious. The Ahi tuna tasted fresh. Very filling too.

The reviews do not lie... this place is outstanding. I found this place on yelp walking through Williamsburg and looking for a salad. I ordered the Spicy tuna which comes with option for brown or white rice or quinoa for $1.50 extra. The gentleman tending to me knew exactly what to offer me to enrich the flavor of what I was eating.. cue the tempura flakes and chili powder. I was eyeing the red pepper flakes but they had another powder that had an orange coloring to it and was grounded. Loving this. New postmates favorite. 5 stars read more

I literally just paid $19 bucks for a large bowl of brown rice. There's little to no protein on my bowl. I don't recommend this place at all! Highly disappointed that this is near my place and therefore more convenient. This is my 3rd time giving them a chance and this will be the last time. Stay away and save your money! No bowl of rice should be that expensive read more
