Reviews for Poke Bros. in Newark, DE
If the girl is serving you than this place is a solid 4-5 stars and it is fully worth the money. Though if you get up to the... counter and its one of the guys standing there with a bowl ready to serve you.. RUN.. get in your car and head ten minutes downthe road to Maui Poke where you always get fed and get your moneys worth. The guys at this place will typically give you about a$6 dry bowl of rice and edamame and charge you $15. The bowl i got there today was maybe the worst meal i ever had and this wasundoubtedly the last time. Seriously, just watch and pay attention as they spoon out a full ladle of fish and then shake it orbang it against the side until there are only two or three pieces of fish with which theyll top your bowl with. I have neverseen anything like it. No more!! UPDATE - To the owner, I appreciate the time taken to respond and the offer to make it rightbut it's not even worth it to me. More often than not the bowls were smaller than one would expect for $15 and completelylacking fish.. and if theyre gonna give me 85% rice than at least cover and smother it in sauce so i dont have to fight to getit down. I found a place thats consistent with fresher ingredients and way bigger portions for the same if not a little cheaper.I will go there. The girl though as i said, is a star and the only one there who puts together a good bowl. Those guys and thatspoon shake are something else. Having worked in food service for many years in the past, the one thing you dont do is give theappearance that the customer is getting less than their moneys worth.. get a smaller spoon and overfilling it will go over farfar better than filling a spoon and then shaking it until its just about empty and then serving it. Seriously you should fireeveryone except the girl and have her train every new hire and you will be off to a much better start. Read more
Poke Bros is far better when you go in to order, be cause for some reason, their menu via delivery apps is an entirely different... menu. In-store, they are clean, quick, and the food is consistently fresh. Read more
The food was fresh, very good but a little pricey. I guess you pay for quality though. All in all, I liked the meal.
One of my favorite "fast food" restaurants. Many options, always delicious! Faster than sushi when I have a craving and need to... be quick. Read more
It was good!! I had the Duke, added ahi tuna, salmon, and got salad instead of rice. It tasted fresh, clean, and didn?t smell... fishy ???? it was a lot spicier than I thought. I have to agree with others, it?s a bit pricey. Read more
I know that maybe for a lot of people is not relevant because now is more a take out shop than a restaurant but to me if the... bathroom is dirty how can be the kitchen? That?s my thought. Prices are going up everywhere, but if you raise prices why youwill make the portions even more small? And now they have a bunch of the regular items they used to offer before as part of thebowl now you have to pay extra? So the same bowl that before was 12 end up being more like $19. Attention is still prettyaverage, food is good, but as I said at the beginning makes me wonder how the kitchen looks! Read more
The food is good but the fact that I have to pay $18 for an adequate portion is ridiculous. The Normal fish portion is 2 tiny... scoops and an extra scoop is 4$. You also get charged an arm and a leg for adding additional items such as seaweed salad.Seaweed salad barely costs anything and comes in a bag. Upsetting because I could get this same bowl last year for around $14. Read more
lemme tell you bout this place. food is good i?ll give it that, but it is always so ridiculously uncomfortable ordering inside.... they NEVER play music which makes it so awkward. like play elevator music or sum, because it feels like i?m about to get robbedinside. speaking of robbery? if you order inside the main guy will literally give you 2 pieces of salmon right IN FRONT OF URFACE. no shame at all. like cmon dude. then it?s 4 extra dollars to get maybeeee 2 more pieces. the other workers there look souncomfortable too which makes it seem all forced. all in all, get delivery.
