    Food was very fresh and a great lunch spot. Wish tofu had more flavor but so far this is the best casual Asian lunch spot for work I've tried so far.

    Thought I'd reviewed Red Poke more recently though looks like my last one was waaaay long ago! Have ordered takeout many times since then, they're still a go-to for a fast, healthy meal--protein, veggies, they got you covered. The YSL bowl and Creamy Wasabi are two of my favorites, and I really like their shrimp and grilled tofu options, and the japchae clear noodles that you can choose as a base. However as of late their poke bowls feel a little haphazard in quality--the menu is pretty consistent over the years but the past couple times I've ordered the ingredients look kinda thrown together and with a bit less protein and toppings than they used to give. The quality of the salmon and tuna pieces feels a little different than what they used to use to be too. Or maybe they need to look into how they manage the prep bc while the food still tastes fresh, the pieces of fish look less evenly diced, and something just feels different. Inflation and tariffs are real and costs of everything are going up, so on one hand this isn't surprising though on the other hand I'm def missing the days when this wasn't the case. I'm glad they're around and plan to continue ordering from them, though hope to see some improvements.

    Red poke always hits! It feels healthy and is absolutely delicious. I appreciate how you can pick 2 base--I like to do brown rice + greens. The ingredients all feel fresh and they are flavored perfectly. What a delicious bowl

    Medium bowl with salmon and tuna

    Very generous poke servings for a great value! I ordered the medium bowl online and pickup was easy and prompt. And I was able to find some wasting and eat inside. I was delightfully surprised by the sheer size of the bowl and there was plenty of fish and topping by a as well, even for the medium. The tuna and salmon were fresh. The toppings added a nice lightness and I enjoyed the yuzu ponzu and wasabi ginger aioli on the side. Overall, would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back the next time I'm craving some poke!

    Loved this place! So easy to order with their menu system - you just check off what you want into the bowl - it's so clear and there's even pictures to help if you need it. They were very quick with the service - I took it to go but the restaurant was nice. The food was delicious - I got some tuna and beef and a bunch of veggies loaded up in my bowl!

    Healthy and fresh ingredients, variety of choices, fast preparation, and clean store. Highly recommend for anyone craving for healthy and tasty eats. Service is very friendly and quick. Ambiance is casual and chill.

    A good stop for a quick, tasty meal without breaking the bank. Service has never taken more than about 10 minutes for me, a huge upside when you're hungry and looking for a full bowl of meat and rice. The ambiance is nice and modern- you use a erasable board to place your order, and there are a lot of options. There's also a water cooler inside that's usually infused with something nice. Taste isn't outstanding, but delicious and fresh. Their poke bowls pack in fresh fish and a variety of veggies, so each bite is full of flavor. If you're not into raw fish, they also serve Korean meat options like galbi, although I prefer the poke. Will definitely come back to try more combinations.

    Lots of options to customize your poke bowl just the way you like it!

    Late night dinner run after flights all day. What a absolute joy to find something fresh, light and satisfying. Didn't even think I'd review this place until I started digging into the food. Food: 6/5. Fresh fish options AND Korean protein in a combined bowl... serious 1+1=3 situation. Spicy pork w/ tuna and salmon - perfect combo for me. Lots of toppings -- I think I marked them all. The bun was ok+. Soup was ok (dude gave me wrong one but it was still warm and hit the spot). Service: 5/5. Friendly greeting upon entering. Mind you this is almost closing time and the guy's probably exhausted but greeting was cheery. Food ordering via dry-wipe was simple and effective. Ambiance: 4/5. Sufficient, in a fine-for-a-quick-pick-up-joint kind of way. Not much to appreciate at 9PM. Probably nice during day. Lots on windows to outside hustle and bustle. tldr: must go. something fresh and tasty... not deep fried, not processed in the middle of Manhattan.

    This is Korean fusion poke bowl restaurant. It's a fast casual place so you choose off the menu displayed above the register and can customize the bowl to your liking. I found this place to be good quality. They give you a lot of choices and with it's Korean theme, you'll see things that are not typical at a poke bowl place - bulgogi beef, kimchi, ssamjang sauce, gochujang sauce, and more. The fish they served here was super fresh and the bowls are above average in size. If you don't want to customize your own bowl, they have recommended bowls too ready for quick takeout.

    Visited the other day for a quick lunch nearby! This place is super quick and casual, and most visitors are office workers in the area stopping by for something fast, healthy, and convenient. Service is really fast and friendly too - I ordered a medium bowl with customized toppings and proteins, and the price for quality is very reasonable, especially in this economy! Ate every single bite of my bowl. This place is a Korean take on poke, so you'll see ingredients like bulgogi beef and japchae! Really yummy and healthy spot - no complaints!

    This was a nice stop for a bite before seeing Hells Kitchen off of 43rd. The options were loaded for any palate and ordering was simple! We used a dry erase board immediately upon coming in which made ordering easy. I had a bowl with loads of veggies and shrimp and tofu as my protein which filled me up perfectly. The vibe is quick-eats style so it's a casual in and out. Seemed like a lot of locals enjoyed it also.

    I tried to find this place for lunch but navigating NYC without a phone and just my memory was a fail. I came back for dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the grilled protein, hot bowl options. I quickly decided on the "Seoul" beef bulgogi and hot glass noodles and the food was ready shortly after I ordered, paid and sat down. Price was $17 for a large bowl, which is a little expensive, but the quality and taste is excellent. I definitely want to come back and try other options!

    Red poke has been my go to lunch spot for over a year. It's quick and casual, and they have a plenty of dining space although I normally do pick up. The fish and toppings are always fresh, and I love that the bowls here are healthy and filling unlike some of the salad places out there. I especially like how masago is a free topping!

It's not especially big, so you may have a bit of a wait if you frequent right at lunch or in the evening but whatever amount of time you have to wait it will be well worth it. Service is top tier but you come for the food. They have a varied menu with a lot of options so if you're bringing a buddy that isn't up for Katsu, they'll have plenty to choose from. The Katsu is the star and I think what sets this place apart is that they offer Berkshire pork katsu as an option. Arguably some of the best pork, it's great to have the option if you're looking to heighten the experience. I love their pork katsu and go nuts over the chicken katsu curry. It's super crispy, slightly greasy but never off-putting. And it's served with the most delicate and delicious cabbage slaw. I could eat a mountain of this it's so good. Highly recommended.

Katsu-Hama is about two doors to the Left of Phil's, and has minimal, very discreet signage. I got some tonkatsu...I forget the exact type, but it was essentially the most fatty of the tonkatsu offered. It came with cabbage (with a sesame ginger type dressing), daikon radish (with some type of sauce on top), and the standard sauce for the tonkatsu, along with some crushed sesame seed and hot mustard. I'd have to say...the tonkatsu was quite good....not quite as sublime as my favorite tonkatsu place in Tokyo...but still, very, very good. The dish also came with a bowl of miso soup (good, and not overly salty) and a bowl of white rice, which I considered the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice seemed a bit dried out...not moist.... All in all, an excellent meal. I'd definitely come back.

Many of the clientele are Japanese so we knew we were at an authentic place. We got: - Fried oysters: the batter was light and crispy and oysters piping hot - Vinegared Mackerel w/ Ponzu Sauce: fresh & tangy - Intestines Hotpot: comforting & light despite the fattiness of the intestines - Creamed Mentai Udon: they split it in 2 small bowls for us since we were sharing. Udon had a nice bouncy chew and sauce was not heavy We also got a bottle of sake, and they poured it in a beautiful sake decanter to keep it cold. First time seeing cold sake presented this way which was very cool. We tried Suntory draft beer since that was the only draft they had, which was odd since most Japanese places carry Asahi/Sapporo, definitely not as light as the other two beers I'm used to. Even though I was stuffed by the end, I didn't feel lethargic, everything felt light without compromising flavor. Service was attentive although our udon came at the very end, we thought they had forgot about it.

    There are a few restaurants in NYC that make you feel like you are stepping into a Japan portal,…read moreand Okatte Tanto is no doubt one of those. As you step into the restaurant, you immediately feel a sense of formality and strictness. It's also very quiet in the restaurant, and friendly to solo diners, adding on more to the Japan-esque feel. The food is high quality here, but the portions are small, and it is pricey. I would budget to spend around $100 a person here after tip and tax, if you ignore the prices on the menu and try a variety of things. The tuna from the bone is the most famous dish here, but I was not able to get it as they sell out very fast. But I tried the sashimi and it was high quality -- just that it was not enough food for me. But that makes it more in line with portions back in Japan. They have an extensive sake list and they also have the casual cocktail options like lemon drops you would find in Tokyo. The atmosphere really transports you straight into Japan if that is something you are looking for. Expect to pay a premium for small-ish portions, but at the same time very well-made and authentic food.
