He's a 2 but gets lunch at Turtle Boat! It doesn't get better than this, isn't just something I tell myself in the mirror to make me feel better as an affirmation but is also true about the quality of food and service here!!!
Overall it was good. Staff was super friendly and helpful since it was our first time. Solid portion amount for the regular size but I think I personally like a good ratio of just the base and fish. I ended up getting rainbow trout and striped bass as my protein, picked a variety of vegetable toppings, yuzu vinaigrette as my sauce, added most of the aromatic and crunchy toppings, kani and seaweed salad to top it off. It was good quality fish and toppings but the sauce was really lacking that yuzu kinda punch and also would have also been nice to have a little sauce or seasoning on the rice. The sauce on my girlfriends order was really good though (spicy mayo and house sauce together)
Just plopped into town and it was the first cuisine experience for a a group of 4 -- and everyone was thrilled. Delicious! Sustainable fish -- 5 stars! Amazing toppings. Outside seating. LOVE it. Want to take this back home with me to San Francisco! Thanks Turtle Boat!
As a vegan who doesn't like tofu, finding a poke place can be challenging. Turtle Boat was recommended to me as just a poke place, but when I checked out their site and learned about all their vegan options, I had to try it! Their staff was very helpful in explaining all the different vegan options and what they were made of. Every item has a respective V for vegan, GF for gluten free, and/or SF for soy free sticker next to it so you can make easy choices based on your dietary needs or preferences. The amount of food you get for the price is good! It's all high quality and fresh. The pickled ginger is amazing, all the diverse toppings work together nicely. I really enjoyed my meal, it had good heat without being overpowering and all the layers of fresh, crunchy, fermented, tangy flavors was lovely! I will definitely be back!
I went in hungry and confused as to why my frequented poke spot was closed at 1:00 pm. That's a common lunch hour after all! Never the matter, Turtle Boat satisfied my grumbling belly and has won my business. The seafood and veggies are noticeably fresher, and much more delectable. You guys are a treat! Thank you for all that you do, stay Clorado proud!
What a great spot! The staff was very friendly and willing to offer suggestions for good flavor combinations. The bowl ingredients was fresh and had a little kick of spice. The person preparing my dish also pointed out the sustainability of their local ingredients. I had the bass and all the mix ins. The salad was a nice break from lots of rice. Spicy edamame and a little potato salad were fun to try, too. The ambiance was hip - graffiti outside with tables for some fresh air. A few seats inside, but nothing fancy.
Not only is the food STILL amazing, but I am stunned by their support of the local community amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, Turtle Boat was giving out free soup to folks, no questions asked. They gave you an option on bathe order form to donate, and those proceeds are going to support nurses and hospitality/food service professionals. I know Turtle Boat's business is hurting right now too, so it really warms my heart to see them continuing to give back to the local community. Thanks for the generosity Turtle Boat! I'm so glad to have you in the neighborhood!
Amazing service and great, clean space. Happy to stop in today to support local and check this spot out for My first time. Everything tasted SO fresh and I loved the variety. The employee was friendly and suggested lots of great items. He was very knowledgeable about the sauces and helped me pick the perfect one. I'm happy I stopped in and supported this local business. This Poke is fresh and delicious. Next time I will get the bigger portion!
The best poke!!! Delicious and amazing every time. So many interesting / non traditional toppings and protein choices. They also are very thoughtful about being sustainable and local (local fish choices, local beverages, compostable bags, etc).
OMG I love this place and wish it was closer to my house, but I will be going out of my way to come back again soon with friends. The ownership and staff is very friendly, helpful, and I love how they source the items they sell locally (food as well as the Kombucha they sell). The fish was fresh and they have out of the ordinary fish from the competition (the striped bass was delicious). I got the Salmon and Stripped Bass on greens with Krab and Wasabi Guac and I got my husband the Salmon and Ahi Tuna with Krab and Seaweed Salad. The topping are great, they are not stingy on what they put in their bowl, and the Siracha mayo was tasty on my greens as well. They have three sizes and we each had a medium which was a good size. I did togo, but there is a small eating area and a small amount of seating outside. Parking is available in back which is great. I will definitely be back even though it is not that convenient from my home as this local business definitely stands out from the other poke competition! Enjoy!
When did poke bowls turn so vegetarian/vegan friendly? Thanks turtle boat! The staff was extremely helpful and patient in explaining the options to us and the bowl we got at the end was fresh and tasty! The texture and flavors were impressive. I must say I was really happy with my first ever bowl of poke! Murals on the outside are pretty cool too!
We went here for a slightly late Saturday lunch after running some errands. We managed to find a parking spot at the back of this tiny establishment. Once we enter Turtle Boat, we are greeted promptly and straight away go to the counter to order our food aka "Chipotle" style. The staffs who handled our transactions, answered all our questions with regards to the menu. My friend opt to have the snack size ($7.99) and Izze can beverage ($1.49), while I opt for the large size bowl ($13.99) with 3 proteins and 3 different types of salads, that you can choose. As for beverage, I opt to purchase a can of Coconut Juice ($2.25) which you can get at the refrigerated section on the left wing of the Ordering Counter. In terms of the portions, its doable.. but for what you get in terms of proteins, its limited for my taste bud, hence this 3 stars painful heartfelt review. There is a water dispenser (self-service) if you want at the back of this establishment located next to the washroom and other disposable cutlery. Turtle Boat is tiny though they are kept clean at all times. There are patio seating available outside Turtle Boat itself. I finished my lunch, coz I was "starving"... But maybe due to the fact, there aren't much of variety, I just go with the flow. The service from the staffs are indeed stellar. That alone received 4 stars in my books. To return its a maybe, and I hope they can offer many more variety options that can call my name err in this case my rumbling tummy as I wrote this review.

Lexi & I went here yesterday for dinner, and it was amazing! A truly special place with delicious food and ethically sourced fish (approved by Monterey Bay Aquarium) We got the chance to meet one of the owners and he was filled with knowledge and candor. The service overall was awesome! It is located on S Broadway and is a small building that really stands out! We will definitely be coming back here not just for the food but for the wonderful service and atmosphere! Dan & Lexi read more
This was my second time to Turtle Boat. The first time was when they first opened and I was new to poke and only liking Poke City style poke. This second go around I really enjoyed Turtle Boat so much more. I loved that they had more unique fish and toppings options, some of which were local. The portion also felt huge! My cons were I really didn't love that they used fake crab for their crab salad and though everything was fresh it really lacked depth of flavor. Maybe I should have tried 2 sauces rather than just the spicy Mayo to bring things together better! read more
The food is very good and original. I wish they had indoor dining space, there are a few tables outside but I doubt they are usable during the winter, and there is not enough shade during summer. Many people just take out, but personally I'm still kind of old school I guess, I still love to dine in. read more

The service here cannot be beat. Patient, kind and helpful. Love that you don't have to pay extra to have all the toppings added. Just order the "full boat". Awesome options for vegan and vegetarians too. Best place in Denver to get poke!!! read more

After a few years of being cool on the coasts, poke is making its way to Colorado, which is great! Why? Because good poke is awesome, and Turtle Boat has good poke. Set up like a healthier Chipotle with way more variety, Turtle Boat lets you choose from a selection of proteins, add veggies/rice, and salads to create a delicious meal. If you get the medium size, it's a solid sized meal that won't leave you looking for the closest McD's to "get full." While dishing up food that often leaves you hungry, Turtle Boat gives you a real meal-sized plate. Seating is limited inside and on the patio. You get your food at the counter and seat yourself. If you want to sit together, come here with a group of up to 4. It's a casual spot, so no need to dress up for your trip to the boat. There is a lot going on here, but don't get overwhelmed. In the end, it's pretty simple. The service is friendly, and while your plate might take longer than you'd expect to be assembled, you'll be treated to a fast, delicious, and healthy meal that you can feel good about. read more
I took my three young adult children and they all loved this place. Everything was very good. The staff were very helpful. We sat outside on a partially covered patio. The sea bass, the hearts and thoughts salad, the spicy Mayo (ask for extra), the potato salad, the seaweed dust.... All good. read more
Always a fresh, local fish option! #1 reason why I come here. It's a small joint and you know you're supporting local. Their greens are usually locally sourced too. Great pricing for good portion sizes. This is the snack size but I never finish it! Amazing place deff give it a try! read more

HOLY WOW! It's hard to even put into words how amazing this place is. It was my first time, and my boyfriend had been but a while back. We were warmly greeted by the man behind the counter who never stopped impressing the entire time we were there. He gave us a quick run down of the menu, with wonderful suggestions. He said they like to recommend a little bit of each for the toppings which was incredible, and unlike some poke spots that only allow you to choose 2-3 items from a section. There were so many incredible vegan options, as well as gluten free. The wasabi-mole aka guac with wasabi was phenomenal. The meals were light and fresh as well as local and sustainable. The boxes they use are compost and much of the items are sourced locally. We didn't eat the fish, but it's good to know they use sustainable sources and have high integrity on their selection. The man behind the counter was so kind and it was a really pleasant experience. I would recommend this place over and over again, you will not regret it. Support local businesses! Run! Don't walk. read more

Excellent poke!!! I'm so tired of that generic chipotle style mediocre fast food style so called poke joints. Might work for burritos. Not seafood! These guys are passionate about their creations and the source from which they come. They have a fantastic selection of of seafood, toppings, sauces and sides, all fresh ingredients. I've tried the tuna, salmon and tako. And for sides, I'm in love with the Dofu Gan and the crab salad. Hit them up. Thank me later! read more

This is the only poke spot I've found with original sauces that really gives this dish a good kick. Unlike others, this one has a unique flavor and other toppings to give more flavor and texture. I actually don't remember what I ordered, but remembered being excited about the creative options and the positive customer service. read more
