    Happy to have tried this place. You fill out the form, pay and they make the bowl for you. This was a great spot compared to the last pokè place I had. I want to return to try different combinations but this was absolutely delicious and filling.

    Mix 2- with tuna and salmon, brown rice, radishes, corn, edamame, jalapeño, fish eggs, spring mix, sesame seeds, wasabi.

    Great poke a step above many others in the area. The portions are consistently good. Sushi is fresh. Choices of mix-ins are on par with other restaurants (though I'd like to see broccoli, and other healthy greens as options where the seaweed and crab salad are listed). I ordered the choice of two proteins. The flavors are balanced, and the fish is fresh. There's a variety of dressings/sauces available. You get your choice of one, which includes clearly notated gluten-free options. I absolutely enjoyed the tuna and salmon. Looking forward to ordering again!

    Thinking back to my recent Philly trip, I really enjoyed the poke from Red Poke Express. Good portion, fresh fish, lots of mix-ins to choose from. My only negative was how long we waited for our takeout (it's takeout only) and had to stand outside with little communication from the biz, but I think that's more of a no-contact decision than anything else. Over all, a solid poke spot I would return to!

    Missing Hawaii and was craving poke, so we decided to get some from Red Poke Express, since the reviews look promising. This was our first time ordering from Red Poke Express, and our expectations were adjusted, because mainland poke just isn't going to be as good. When we first saw the takeout container it looked small, but once we started digging in, we realized how big the portions actually were. Overall, Red Poke Express exceeded expectations. The raw fish was fresh and cut up in nice medium chunks. For the price, quality and portions, this was pretty great. This will be our choice spot for poke for now. The sauces were okay, but so is the sauce everywhere else.

    Great portion. Love the "make your own" poke option. I opt for the 2 protein, which in my option is plenty with the brown rice base. There are a ton of mix-ins, sauce, toppings and crunch to choose from and they are generous with the amount that you pay for. It was filled to the max and enjoyed it nearby. Def will come back if In the area.

    Had the Rainbow Bowl and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fish tasted. At first, I underestimated the size of the bowl, but I was full afterwards. The pineapple though, gave it an interesting taste. Seemed out of place so next time, would order that on the side, if possible. Used Doordash as the delivery method, and it was an disorganized experience that caused an hour and a half of a delay.

    Custom bowl with Scottish Salmon and a bunch of stuff

    So happy to find a great poke place within walking distance! This is one of the better poke I've had. We built our own bowl with Scottish Salmon, white rice, edamame, seaweed salad, masago, mangoes (amazingly sweet), pickled ginger, radish, cucumber, red onions, and spicy mayo. Delicious, fresh and really filling. Also, the owner and her 10 year old daughter were super sweet. I'm going to be getting a lot of poke delivered home:)

    Really good poke for the price! Everything is always fresh and big portion imo. The staff is always super kind as well!

    If you love Poke come here!!! I got the build your own bowl and it was delicious. Everything was fresh, especially the tomatoes. The service was great, the restroom was clean and the location is nice as well! 10/10 recommend, I'll definitely be coming here sooner than later.

    Very fresh poke. I had build my own bowl with greens but don't expect much of it. I asked my miso dressing to be put on the side for my to go. I couldn't find it after I left the store. Either they forgot or it's mixed in. When you build your own, you check mark the ingredients that you want. You can double or triple it to meet your limits. The staff is really helpful in explaining the ingredient that you aren't familiar. Don't skip the seaweed. It's fresh and really good. Perfect complement to my poke. There are some seats available for dine in

    We chose the build your own bowl option. Big eye tune and tofu for proteins. Mango, seaweed, edamame, red onion, cucumber in their classic sauce. Flavors of ginger, garlic and cilantro made the ingredients sing. What a great find. And all for the price of a Hamilton.

    I'm not a *huge* raw fish / seafood person but my fiance is so I agreed to try their Phoenix ( chicken) poke bowl, and am so glad I did! It tasted SO fresh. All of the ingredients complimented one another so well - (chicken,Cucumber,Red Onion,Edamame, mushroom,cilantro, classic shoyu sauce, green onion,sesame seeds on top of rice) Plus it was less than $10 and enough for 2 meals! I did ask for the spicy sauce and think I received the regular sauce, but am not positive on that since this was my first poke experience. My fiance built his own bowl with salmon, tuna, and various veggies and was equally impressed with his meal. We ordered delivery and it came on time with no issues! Can't wait to try more bowls from here!

    Review: Taco Bell, Chestnut Street--A Beacon of Intentional Service…read more​Location: Taco Bell, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia ​This isn't just a place for late-night cravings; this is an operation that runs on true, intentional efficiency and kindness. I am a developer for the Gemini AI and a founder of the Gruntled Initiative, which is fundamentally about eliminating systemic bias and maximizing human potential by focusing on service, and I felt that mission here tonight. ​From the moment I walked in, the service was fast, accurate, and genuinely warm. The staff here understands that true efficiency means more than just speed--it means treating every customer interaction as an opportunity to provide a moment of peace and satisfaction. Every order that moved across the counter was an example of the high standards we are trying to instill in the world. ​Why this matters now: In a world designed to create despair and division, finding a local team that executes their job with this level of smooth, positive commitment is an affirmation of the core tenet of the Gruntled Initiative: when people are set up for success, they serve their brothers and sisters beautifully. ​The food was fresh and exactly as ordered--a simple, honest transaction executed perfectly. The energy in this location is a testament to the fact that when we prioritize human dignity, even a fast-food experience can feel like a step toward a better, more intentional world. ​Five stars. Keep up the phenomenal work. You are making the world a little more Gruntled, one perfect burrito at a time.

Hours later I realized that I'd never gotten a text or an email letting me know my order was ready to pick up. Considering this is a national chain it's vexing that they can't figure out the logistics of notifications since you have to give them all of your contact info to order online. About a week later I was walking home pretty late so figured I'd try again. This location is a small but clean take out shop with 2 or 3 counter seats at the windows facing South street and I think one table for 4 (I may be wrong about the exact numbers but there aren't many), there is no outdoor seating. Orders are taken via kiosk (think Wawa), my order took about 10 minutes. I got chicken (steamed) and Korean BBQ (fried), since it is a fast food chain my expectations were low but I was still really disappointed. The chicken dumplings were bland and the beef were really sweet and really salty but everything was still hot when I got home so that was nice. I won't go again, I can't justify wasting more money on food that tastes like a frozen dinner. I'll stick to small independent shops and eat non-gentrified dumplings.

Moving to New England three decades ago meant leaving it behind, so I was incredibly excited for my first visit back. I was devastated to hear they had closed in July of 2022 due to a fire, but stepping inside after their reopening two years later felt like returning home. The classic look and feel upon entering was exactly as I remembered from decades ago. Do not let a crowd deter you! There were about twenty people in line ahead of us, but the legendary Philly efficiency meant our wait was only about five minutes. When it was my turn to order, I went with my standard: "Wiz Wit" (cheese wiz and fried onions) with a side of hot peppers at checkout. While I noticed they now offer a sesame seeded roll option, I chose to stick with the traditional roll for pure nostalgia. Please note that Jim's is a strictly cash only business, so come prepared. We took our food to a table upstairs and I was pleasantly surprised by how much space there is now. There are two rooms facing South Street for prime people watching, plus one super cool artisanal mosaic space flooded with natural light. This breathtaking area is the former Eye's Gallery that was beautifully restored after the fire, and it provides a truly unique backdrop for a meal. As for the cheesesteak, it was exactly as I remembered. It was wonderfully messy, packed with flavor, and utterly delicious. I am so glad that some things never change. Jim's has returned triumphant, and I will definitely be making this a mandatory stop on my next trip back to Philly.

Maybe my DoorDash or running off with my order the first time should've been my sign not to order again, so I ordered the burrito with chicken. It was supposed to have hot Cheetos in it didn't have hot Cheetos at all and then the french fries was supposed to be Asada and they gave me chicken Fries and yeah, it sucked ass. Excuse my language like I just wanted to have a nice Valentine's Day at home and not go out for dinner and that burrito tasted horrible. The french fries were cold. The meat was pretty hard the portion it was a good portion, but didn't have enough meat in the burrito. I taste some more french fries more cheese, more guacamole than anything. I thought I was eating a vegan burrito and then eating the french fries with the chicken I felt like I was eating rocks with soft mushy food. I will definitely not be recommending this place to anybody like it's funny because I was reading some of the reviews and they got some good reviews and then they got some horrible reviews and I was just like fuck I should've read the reviews first but now I learned my lesson thank you guys for the lesson of not ordering from here ever honestly I was better off ordering McDonald's then ordering from this place like that of a lot and it's not like I had high hopes for this players like the pictures look great and they did not meet their fucking expectation. I hope my DoorDash order that stole my DoorDash order in the first place taste like shit as well. anyways amen God bless if you thinking about eating at this place think twice if I could minus my stars I would definitely do it.

I don't like Chinese food so I didn't need the food once I sat down and figured that out. The food was absolutely subpar mediocre. The eggs looklooked like they were decent eggs. They definitely don't serve that yellow of an egg in Florida. The potatoes were frozen, diced potatoes that were deep-fried, and by the time they made it to the table, they were shriveled up cold and no longer edible. The potatoes left flavor in personally I think if they put some onion with it, I could've gave it another star. Rye toast was rye toast. My partner in crime said the eggs Benedict was mediocre and at the hollandaise sauce tasted too much like lemon. We won't be back because we're not even from there. It's a cute place, old and quaint but not a place with good food.
