    Poke Bowl cafe hasn't been open long, but it is easily my new favorite spot. If you haven't had a poke bowl, imagine deconstructing a couple of your favorite sushi rolls, add some more rice, pick a sauce and there you go. The flavor is outrageously dense, with a lot of choices, and it only costs as much as a single sushi roll at many places. They also have grilled and fried versions of the meats if raw is not your taste. Similarly, the bowl ingredients can also be served as a burrito. The cafe is small and only had 4 tables for two each, but the owner said outdoor seating might be in the works for summer. They deliver for free with a minimum $20 order. It's a quiet little place great for a casual dine-in or quick take out experience with very high quality food for prices I have not seen matched anywhere in the area.

    Staff is nice. Small location, only about 2 tables inside that they only have total of 4 chairs for. Food is great. Prices are decent. You can your food in bowl style or burrito style as well.

    Pros: The staff is as friendly as ever! Unfortunately today I'm not sure what happened to the quality of the food. I ordered a #8 and I usually order the same 2 or 3 menu items. But today it was just awful. I tried eating it and 1/4 of the way into i stopped because everything tasted yuck. Undercooked??? Spoiled product??? 😖 I really like this place. They just need better ventilation for their building and better quality control. Hope this was just a one off...

    This is my favorite poke place down the shore. The food is consistently good and it's very quick! Plus the online ordering system is very easy.

    I love this place! This is the only thing around here (that I know of) that is somewhat healthy, so this is my go to. Ive ordered directly from them, I’ve called to order, I’ve order online and they’ve all been hassle free. I do love the online ordering though, its super convenient. Their delivery is always on point and the people working there are always nice. I’ve had their bowls, spring rolls, sushi burrito and they’re all awesome!

    CHANGED OWNERS! The original poke spot was exceptional for quality takeout in the neighborhood. Definitely a dip in quality since they changed ownership in late summer 2022.

    Only decent poke bowl place on the island. Used to be better but at the moment it seems like the price of the food is going up and the quality is only going down. Fish just doesn’t taste that fresh like it used to.

    Super fresh sushi!!! This is an amazing spot for poke. I’m a big lover and critic of seafood and this place is extremely satisfying. You get to add a lot of toppings on the poke bowl, and the salmon and white tuna are simply divine. A little pricey but I would say worth it! The only con - I did order a honey dew drink and it wasn’t that great, but I will keep coming back for the poke! And maybe try a different drink.

    Didn't expect there was so much rice. I expected more veggies as normal poke bowl. This is more like Poke Don, which is stuff over rice from Japan. But! It did still tasted good and the staff was kind.

    So grateful for this variety in a sea of pizza joints. It was tasty. They are open for takeouts and pickup only. Closed on Tuesdays. I am deducting a star because I was expecting a poke bar. Instead you order off a menu and they make it in the back. It would be helpful to have pictures of all the topping on the menu.

    Amazing spot for poke if you are around Atlantic City, fresh sushi, you can order in a machine and include everything that you like. Fast service!

    Have only ordered take out from here but pretty much never disappointed! The poke bowls are delicious and packed full with fish, which is totally customizable. I’ve ordered here about 3 times and only the one time my eel had some bones in it which was kinda yucky but have still ordered from there since! Deff check it out, way better then spending loads of money on sushi when you can get more fish then regular sushi for less money!

    I ordered a Poke bowl with the crab salad, white tuna, tomatoes, the spicy Thai noodles and spicy poke sauce. Everything was SO GOOD and tasted very fresh, especially the crab salad and sauce. I don't live around here but if I did I would probably order it for lunch everyday lol.

    Poke places used to not be available anywhere years ago. Now they are popping up every where and I am loving having more options to try! We really enjoyed our poke. As for most of my feedback for poke places is I want a little more fish and I'd sacrifice a lot of the other toppings. I chose a two protein build your own bowl and chose salmon as both. I'm just not certain I got a lot more fish than if I had chosen one protein? But this is how I often feel with lots of poke restaurants. I enjoyed the large chunks of fresh mango, the seaweed salad, etc. I don't think I got the furikake I asked for but it's not the end of the world at all haha. We ordered a small side of spring rolls for $2 and they were pretty decent (not Japanese tasting but that's okay?!). I was impressed with getting the tamago as a side option too. I loved that the sauces came wrapped separately because then you can control how much you want and it doesn't just get soaked into the rice. I enjoyed it all!

    Food was amazing. Did a custom bowl and she did exactly what was needed. Definitely worth getting extra protein.

  • 3/5 Michelle B. 9 months ago on Google
    It was okay. Every other poke bowl I’ve had has been better, including from grocery stores. The toppings were not super fresh and not great options. Also the only wasabi sauce was honey so that was disappointing. The actual fish was okay just wish the other items were up to par.
