    Anyone reading this, just stop and go eat at FushiPoke. It was PHENOMENAL!! We ordered 2 poke bowls and pork belly steamed buns and WOW. My wife and I collectively devoured our meals, cried tears of joy while enjoying the flavors and tears of sadness when it ended. We are on vacation in the area and looking for a bit of a healthier lunch than we had been having and not only did we feel satisfied with that, we were truly blown away by the flavors bursting from every bite. The inside was super chill and has areas in the back to relax, read and play games. The staff appeared upbeat and were enjoying themselves. We were clearly waited on by someone in training and they thoughtfully (not slowly) took their time to nail our order!!! If you are still reading this, great..... But I hope it's because you returned to finish this novel after you finished your meal from FushiPoke. And to the owner/manager... Expand to New York, thank you 🙂

    Spicy Ramen is GREAT! I have been twice, the first time I got the spicy ramen with pork belly and the second time with chicken, both were delicious. Seating was welcoming and plentiful, free parking lot on the left side of the building. This is a hidden gem, I look forward to coming back frequently.

    This place has the best poke bowls! The staff is always so sweet and friendly. Marie made my poke bowl and she was so nice and it was amazing! As someone who was afraid to try poke bowls in the past, I would definitely recommend coming here. 10000/10

    Pokebowl places are plenty out there. To my surprise, this place the service is top notch. The Poke and ramen are excellent. Same for the boa. The seating is comfortable, even has a sofa area and provide plenty of board games.

    Delicious and fresh! Fushipoke has become a weekly stop for me. The servers are friendly and happy to explain the unfamiliar names of things to new customers, and the bowls are big enough for 2 meals for me. Tuna and shrimp are both super fresh, but the tofu has become my favorite. A must try.

    In the words of a friend, FushiPoke is “straight fire”. The food is really fresh, that quality is supreme, and the aesthetics of the restaurant are very much a vibe. If you’re a fan of poke bowls, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Even if you DON’T like poke bowls, honestly you’ll still probably enjoy it.

    One of the few times I will go intentionally out of my way to write a review. Food is simple but great. It's how we roll. A basic chicken bowl with some sides. Rest assured, it's good. Yep, they have some cool international snacks and beverages which is a plus to try out for fun. The service and atmosphere is where this place stands out. The attitude and energy of the folks running the front end are fun and welcoming. They even know my and my son's order and start it as we walk in. It's just nice to be greeted as a "regular" and familiar face. The environment is fun because they have a small back room where you can snag a game and play. It's a cool spot to transition to after eating just to digest and chill. Worth it even to try once. Do eet.

    I was in town last week for a rowing event and stopped into this restaurant. Let me tell you. The food. The service. It was AMAZING! I stopped in on Wednesday night and the gentlemen working were so attentive and helpful with recommendations on what to eat! The Ramen was to die for! And the Pork Belly Shrimp was on point! The atmosphere was such a cool vibe, could feel the positivity from the staff. Great all around! I had never been to a restaurant like this and I am so glad I stopped in!

    If you're in town, this is a must see! The entire place is clean and doesn't smell. You can tell, that the staff really take pride in their work. Food was served hot and didn't take forever! Friendly, helpful and competent staff! Highly recommend this place and I'll be going back! Thank you for the awesome service and food!

    So good!! Some of the best poke I’ve ever had! The ramen was really tasty too, the noodles a little over cooked but the broth was flavorful. The steamed buns are delicious. I come here with my family multiple times every trip we take to Sarasota so highly recommend

    This place is one of my new favorite spots. I’ve been twice the past week + I tried the spicy ramen with chicken and it was so good I came back a few days later for it again. It has super savory broth as well I really enjoyed my meal. The place itself is so cute and cozy, I was able to work on my laptop while enjoying my food. 10/10 for sure if you’re looking for a chill / nice restaurant to enjoy some ramen at !

    We didn’t make any reservation for lunch. The location was great. We walked from the hotel to the restaurant for a quick lunch break. The service was one of the finest. Wow offered complementary cucumber/ lemon water made to perfection. Also, this restaurant offers reusable plastic chopsticks, GO GREEN! What a unique pork belly steamed bun appetizer was delightful. Then, our Pork Belly Shoyu Ramen was fantastic, it really hit the spot. The chef’s skills were exquisite, what an honor to dine here.

    I think the word for this review is "decent". The poke and food in general is decent. For the area you would think Poke would have more of a footprint. From eating Poke all over in different places I would say this was good but not great compared to others. The price is a bit high for what you get. 2 bowls of poke and one ramen was $60.

    I’ve previously order food via Doordash (several times) and I always wanted to visit and dine in. I did a couple of days before leaving my hometown for a year, and I wish I would’ve gone earlier; atmosphere was great and peaceful. I asked both cashiers if it was okay if I stayed for a while since I needed to take a couple of tests online- they were very polite and also checked on me a few times as well. Packed the remaining of my food to go and offered to refill my water in the meanwhile, even though water is pretty much self served. Food is fresh, all bowls and other meals can be adjusted as needed. All portions are large. Steamed buns: mushrooms bun and pork bun are definitely the greatest item in store.

    These bowls were super good. I had a custom bowl with red shrimp, cucumber kimchi, on rice. It was pretty amazing. We also got the Hawaiian bowl with was pretty good too. The service was awesome with great suggestions.

    Such a cute restaurant with a nice vibe. The bao was tasty and its skin was perfectly soft. The flavor of the soup and the texture of the noodle is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and nice. It became my favorite Asian restaurant in Sarasota.❤️

    Chic and smart little stylish restaurant serving delicious, fresh rice bowls with all kinds of add-ins & more. I had the fresh tuna and salmon on white rice with a sweet sauce. I topped it with cucumber noodles and crab meat. I love sashimi and maki rolls. This is all of that and more. I also added the tempura shrimp steamed bun. All delish! Fast and fresh and a super cool atmosphere.

    I stumbled upon this hidden downtown gem and been obsessed since. After a long work week I often find myself taking a break and chilling in the lounge enjoying an order of steam buns and spicy Ramen! The staff always provides immaculate service and greet me by name when I walk in.

  • 5/5 E'ala B. 2 years ago on Google
    First time here on recommendation from a friend and they did not disappoint! It's a little overwhelming looking at the menu but staff was quick to step in and offer assistance with choosing. Very friendly and welcoming, hard to find people like that nowadays! The food was delicious and very heavy portions, well worth the money (about $13 per bowl) We both got kalua pork bowls, it comes with so many toppings/sides, all of which were delicious. They even have Aloha Maid drinks here and jaritos!!!! 10/10 if we lived here this would be a regular spot. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Ben M. 2 years ago on Google
    Under that pile of toppings there was both Salmon and Tuna if you’d believe it. Both tasted light and fresh. All the toppings (I freestyled it) where also super tasty. Since I didn’t go with a preset bowl and added a few things the bowl was a bit more pricey than I expected but I guess that’s my fault for going with my heart. In the end it was worth it. I got the fried shrimp and chicken bao buns. Chicken was good but the shrimp was great. Next time I’ll skip the chicken and just go with those. Awesome selection of drinks from soda, to CBD seltzer water, to Japanese/Asian beers which pair perfectly with the seafood. Will be back here for sure and I recommend to anyone looking for a delicious quick bite while walking down Main Street or on the way back home from the beach.

    My first time going here was about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I’ve come about 3-4 more times. I am obsessed! When you walk in, the employees are super friendly and helpful. Fred helped me look at my options because I’m a pescatarian. They were very knowledgeable and kind. Everyone who works there is super helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and work very hard. The food is DELICIOUS. I’ve been to Domu in Orlando which has a Michelin star, and I think Fushi Poke is better. The atmosphere is comfortable and cute. The wall mural is adorable. And the back room has cute couches with pillows and games to play. They have many options for drinks including alcohol, traditional Japanese drinks, and sodas. They also have reusable chop sticks and a water station which is super convenient! I think everything about this place is a 10/10. Can’t wait to continue coming here! Highly recommend you come here and order a ton of food and enjoy the restaurant!

    Pleasantly surprised. Great spot. Great atmosphere. Menu was explained well. Everything came out with nice presentation and tasted wonderful. Will be back.

    Growing up in Japan and living in Hawaii, I know my way around ramen and poke very well. I chose this restaurant because it combined the two foods I loved from these places I’ve once called home. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with pork belly (or char siu as we call it). The char siu was cooked perfectly! Loved the enoki mushroom and shiitake(?) mushroom in the ramen. My miso egg was cooked a little bit longer and only a touch away from a perfect miso egg. I have to say I’m disappointed with the spicy miso broth. I don’t know if it’s due to it being a spicy version but it was overpowered by the sesame oil that I barely tasted the miso. I hope to try the regular miso ramen next time to make my final judgment. But from my initial experience I felt the ramen was more of a fusion of Chinese food and Japanese food than authentic Japanese ramen. Speaking from 10 yr experience living in Japan. The men/noodles was good! But it was sticking to each other and a little hard to eat. Still tasted great but took a little away from an enjoyable dining experience. The staff was very nice and friendly. Although they didn’t inform us free water was available so we bought drinks. It was okay but I’m always for free drinks. Vibe and atmosphere was hip and fun. Reminds me of certain places in Kakaako in Honolulu. Can’t wait to go back and try their poke. Fingers crossed it’s authentic.

    I love ramen. How about you? If yes, than you definitely must visit this place! I’m vegetarian. I ordered veggie variation on garlic oil ramen. I was going to order one more portion of this delicious meal, but I was totally full. They have a room for board games and meetings with friends. You can even read a comic books (Naruto). Isn’t it awesome? Parking. I park my car not far from the FushiPoke. It wasn’t a problem. Service is polite. Bring orders on time. Restrooms are clean.

    Additional: went back for another Tonkotsu. The noodle was overcooked. It’s not the best for ramen, too soft and texture like cheap instant noodle. The mushroom was sour. The pork belly was hard and tasteless. *my honest review for better ramen in the future. Pretty disappointed. First review: Got Tonkotsu Ramen. Was really good! The soup was rich. Definitely will come back. Not many people when I was there maybe because I was there by 11.10am and not really lunch time yet. It’s an advantage actually and I got parking easier. They have limited street parking so you need to consider this.

  • 5/5 Maria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, 10000/10! So delicious, fresh, and amazing service. I have both dined in & had delivery, either one the food is always fantastic and packaged well. They have so many options for toppings for the poke bowls & buns. The ramen is so good that I dream about it, lol. I have recommended them to SO many people, and will continue. If you are unsure with any of the items on the menu or anything please ask their lovely staff they are great! They have about 4 mini fridges with drinks, all kinds of options even ramune! I have to go back to get a shirt or hat, I will support this place and bring them more people to make their tummy happy. The only thing I would really enjoy seeing is a desert menu! Maybe even some mochi would be lovely? That’s my only reccomendation! Appreciate you guys🍜🥢🍥

    This was my first visit and it was an enjoyable experience. I chose a build your bowl and it was fantastic. I had a lot of rice left over, but was overall pleased. The team had great suggestions, there was ample seating, and even had game to play.

  • 5/5 Marina D. 7 months ago on Google
    First time visiting. I was walked through the poke menu, and everything was delicious! I got a combo of rice and soba noodles with tuna, edamame, corn, cucumber noodles, daikon radish, seaweed salad, sprouts, avocado and fish roe with eel sauce, with sesame sprinkled on top. Very nice and generous portion!
