Big Catch Poke

As many times as we have been here, I can’t believe I didn’t write a review. Annie is so pleasant and her poke bowls are very good. Her bowls are made to order and her place is clean and her food is fresh.

Ordered twice in one day, did a pick up order and it was nice and clean. The second time I GrubHub it and both was absolutely delicious. They gave plenty of fish and well worth the price! Definitely going to be a repeat customer!

Always good. Wish there were more spicy sauce options! But all the toppings you want included is GREAT.

Been way too many times. We love the food and the friendly owner. She is THE definition of hard working small business owner.

Unassuming little spot, clean, woman behind the counter (owner I think?) was super nice and the food was delicious. Good value, will be back

We just had delicious poke from the Big Catch! We ordered organic tofu with mango, avocado,fresh mango,cucumber, edamame , green onion,kale and pickled ginger. We also ordered Ahi tuna with vinegar black sesame, cilantro,avocado,fresh mango,edamame,seaweed salad, pickled ginger, sesame seeds and tempura crunch. These Poke salads were outstanding and possibly the best poke we’ve had in Philadelphia!

Hag a great lunch today. Made my own bowl with the salmon and cooked scallop. It was my first experience with the scallop because I have never saw it on a poke prowl menu before. Amazing and the owner is very friendly.

My husband, toddler, and I walked into the restaurant as we were craving some poke bowl, and left very disappointed at the owner’s attitude. First of all, she was yelling at us from the basement. I don’t understand why there was not a single entity at the counter, greeting customers and getting their orders that she had to yell at us from the basement. Secondly, my son was casually walking between me and my husband while we patiently waited 20 minutes to even be acknowledged let alone served. He was not running or screaming at all. There were only two customers ahead of us and they were seated. They were very nice; my toddler waved and smiled at them like he usually does, and they waved and smiled back. There was a glass barrier between the food and the customers, and when my toddler walked to my husband, the owner asked us to put him back in the stroller. We asked why, but she never gave a rationale. My toddler was nowhere near the kitchen or behind the counter. He was not touching anything or bothering anyone. He was simply walking. How can you, a stranger, ask another family to put their baby back in the stroller, because you were irritated and overwhelmed. Then maybe you should’ve hired more staff to help you. I know how to take care of my baby so I don’t need you to tell me what to do. We left because we were disgusted with your attitude. We went to a nearby restaurant, and my toddler was walking around that restaurant, and everyone was just greeting him, smiling, coming up to him, and interacting with him. No one ever told us to put our baby back in his highchair or in his stroller. They were very accommodating, kind, and friendly. For those of you who want to be respected as a customer, this is not the place. There are so many other Poké bowl places that not only provide better customer service, but actually have ingredients that don’t look like they have been sitting there for days…

Very friendly owner and super clean restaurant. Would probably want to do a build your own next time -- the signature poke had a lot of different fish (tuna, salmon, and eel) and too many flavors going on. Fish was really fresh.

Finally went in for the first time. Christine is so lovely, she let me sample the sauce before ordering. I chose the Passyunk Double Passion bowl since I like salmon, eel, and mango. It was really fresh, all the ingredients were good. You can also mix your own bowl and there's a good variety of toppings to go on sushi rice, brown rice, or salad. Will definitely come again, she's currently on break for Labor Day!

The food and service is great.... When they're open. The last 3 TIMES I've tried to go there they've been closed. I checked business hours too and would be sure that they're open. I really do like their food but I wish they could update their Google hours if they're gonna be out of town or on vacation to save me the 20 min walk over there just to be dissapointed.

I was craving sushi so I checked out poke places near me and saw that Big Catch was close and had some pretty good reviews on Yelp! I placed my order online and I loved that you could really personalize your poke bowl as much as you want. Some places limit you but Big Catch has unlimited toppings and the price for 2 portions of protein was less than I was expecting! I ordered for pickup so about 10 minutes after I placed my order I headed out. The restaurant is on Passyunk Ave. so I knew I wouldn't find parking so I parked a block away and walked. It was a rainy day so they weren't too busy and my order was ready and waiting for me. The person who made my order was very nice and reminded me not to forget my drink as I was walking out without it. I'll definitely be back if I'm craving poke and don't feel like heading into center city!

The lady serving food is rude . First yelling at us from the basement when we first got in. Then she told me to put my toddler in his stroller, he was just walking between my wife and I. There weren't anyone really in the restaurant. I can not tolerate anyone disrespecting my baby. This restaurant is non child friendly. I won't ever step foot in here again.

My secret poke place! Yes, I'm obsessed with this place now! Fresh options. Online ordering. The hostess/owner is kind and she is funny. The last time I was there, it was some kind of block party nearby. So parking was limited. I did manage to snag a place to park a block away and walk. It's in a great location if you just want to wander around. When I go back in the city I'm pleased to have found a place that's not in the hustle and bustle of the actual city. Again. This is one of my favorite little place.

First time there. Very good poke, fresh fish. And don't forget to try the Bai buns!

Amazing Poke - the best I've had - and close to home, which I love. I love the options and food quality. May be a little pricey but definitely worth it!

It's a nice and clean place. Very friendly staff. You can build your own or choose from the signature bowls. I took a star down because the bowl is not full. I ordered both the salad and rice base. The container is made of plastic instead of environmentally friendly cardboard. On the good side, the eel is awesome. It's served warm with great flavor. The fish is fresh too with unlimited toppings. Free WiFi and complimentary water.

Came here for lunch recently and was pleasantly surprised! Staff is super nice and helpful. She gave me lots of recommendations for what is the most frequently ordered meals and for what I might like if I like spicy food or not spicy food. Expansive menu with other non poke options as well. I got the Passyunk double passion. It was great. The fresh corn was a nice extra that I haven't seen in Poke. Nice mix of flavors and hefty serving of protein. Nothing necessarily ground break or out of this world, but it was solid Poke for sure. Nice little seating area in the back if the weather is good. One of the few, if only Poke options in the area so if thats what you're in the mood for, don't think you'd go wrong by going here!

Excellent Poke place! Service- Attentive, very nice and helpful. She offered all the home made sauces for me to try which were amazing, especially the house sauce and ghost sauce. Food- I got the poke bowl special which came with a soda and miso soup for $12 something. It was very decent and filling portions, I love how many topping options there were and that I could have unlimited. I don't like going to any Poke place where toppings are limited.. thats just wrong. Anyways, the flavors tasted fresh, and I even tried a new kind of seaweed I hadn't had before and really enjoyed it. Only complaint here is I don't drink soda or tea so I wish it wasn't an upcharge for bottle water/chocolate milk. Atmosphere- Your typical poke place. There was a nice sitting area across the street that I ate at. Enjoyed my alone time.

Still my top poke place!! Great bowl for the price with unlimited toppings. The owner I believe was sweet! Hope this place stays forever

Cute little poke spot on Passyunk. The staff was super friendly even though she was the only one working and there was a line of people waiting to be served, her energy was great. She even offered me samples of her 3 special sauce - black sesame was my favorite. I customized my own poke bowl and she was really generous with the serving size. I even got a free sirarcha sauce because we spent over $20. The bowl was delicious, however, mid way through my meal, my stomach was not feeling the greatest. My boyfriend also felt the same. It's most likely the salmon and tuna that was not very fresh. Love the service but I'm not sure if I will be returning just based off of my experience.

I wasn't as impressed by their pre-selected options, but I know that our friends who built their own bowls were very satisfied. The menu wasn't the easiest to read online. Good portions, easy takeout, order was filled quickly.

Delicious poke. Went there for my first time. Cute little place. 4 seating high chairs at the front. Patio in the back for warmer days. Courtesy lemon water if you're not getting a drink with your meal. They do have a lunch special which is one protein poke and a 22 oz drink that I will come back and try. The poke I got was a good amount and they do give you unlimited toppings. Everything was well prepared and freshly made. I wish them the best of luck on Passyunk Ave and will be back in a few weeks.

The poke bowl was really good, the ahi tuna was fresh. The bao there are hot and seem fresh. The people there and very nice and considerate. I highly recommend this place for poke bowls

I came here because I noticed a new business on Groupon and brought it. I love that there is finally a poke bowl and boba place on Passyunk and gave it a try. I got the Big Catch and Passyunk Double Passion poke bowl, both are amazing! I added extra eel to both to give it a more savory taste. The ingredients are fresh and it taste great with brown rice. I couldn't even finish mine in one sitting. I will definitely come here again. Christine and the other girl are so nice and quick and knowledgeable. I really hope this place becomes permanent on Passyunk!

I love this place, the fresh poke and all the interesting toppings are terrific. But..since there is no sushi place on Passyunk or in the surrounding area ....perhaps you could consider offering sushi on the menu as well? It would be so popular and bring in so many new customers. I read an article in the WSJ today about sushi saving restaurants across America and it made me think of this place. Thx https://www.wsj.com/articles/everyone-wants-sushi-to-go-and-its-saving-some-restaurants-11612620000?page=1

Found a local poke shop that serves an amazing poke bowl. Both me and my wife appreciate that they provide us with a sample of their special sauce. Good service and easy to navigate online order

This place is so good. Sophia was extremely helpful as she allowed us to sample three of their signature sauces before deciding which combination we were getting for our poke bowls. There are many fresh ingredients to choose from, and the free toppings also include the crab salad and the macadamia nuts. They have an adorable patio that you can sit and eat your food in the back. We will definitely come back. On top of everything they have bubble tea! What a wonderful find!

Big catch poke is a BIG catch for sure. I came here with my sister and we each ordered a make your own bowl with one protein each. There were a bunch of different sauces and we didn't know what some of them tasted like, so the girl offered to let us try them! Yum! They were so good and not too spicy for us. I filled my bowl up to the top with most of the ingredients offered. The salmon was fresh and delicious. Also i did half white rice and half brown rice which was a nice option. I also got a milk tea which was tasty and not too sweet. It was in a paper cup so I didn't know if there were bubbles or not, but i was pleasantly surprised to find out there were Great little spot!

I got the make your own with 3 proteins- double ahi tuna and salmon. The quality was good but I've had better poke bowls. The toppings were chopped too large so it did not blend well with all the ingredients. The mango was delicious. It was definitely filling and filled to the brim, although there was a lot of rice. I had the sriracha aioli which I enjoyed but I did not think it was spicy. The lady working there is very nice and she will give you extra sauce on the side if you ask for it.

I came here for lunch at my friend's recommendation. I was not disappointed! As it was the first time I tried poke I had many questions. The server was very happy to explain the process and let me taste all the unique sauces. Super helpful. The outcome was delicious, definitely returning to try the other combos.

Don't order through a delivery service. I ordered a 3-scoop bowl and there's literally not even an ounce of fish in it. Not even enough to feed a small child. Absolutely ridiculous, and the restaurant refused to acknowledge it with GrubHub. Beware, they will rip you off if you're not standing in front of them.

Really horrible in person customer service. I felt very intimidated ordering for the first time. I was rushed and felt yelled at. It was definitely aggressive and uncalled for. I won't be returning and will instead be frequenting the more customer friendly poke establishments in the city.

Great stuff! The bowl was really good and I was actually impressed with the eel option. The staff was also really really nice to us. We'll be back!

WOW. I was craving sushi, but my husband wanted something more filling. We decided a poke bowl would be a good compromise. I'm so glad Big Catch Poke popped up on Yelp. Usually I get poke bowls from other places and never finish it because the quality isn't great and that grosses me out with fish. Not a problem here! I DEVOURED my salmon bowl. I can't explain how good this place is! And you get unlimited toppings! They have fresh mango and macadamia nuts so I am sold. We also got their fresh bubble tea. My husband loves that it isn't too sweet. I can't wait to get pick up again!

Soooo soooo good and fresh! I've been craving raw fish lately and was happy to find out (via yelp) that this poke spot was so close to me. I got the big bowl combo A which comes with miso soup and a soda for $14. The miso soup is delicious! The bowl itself is freaking HUGE. My picture does not do it justice. I was not expecting it to be this big, two people could easily split this and order another soup and a couple of bao buns. The woman who was working when I went in was so freaking nice. Like unbelievably friendly, we had a nice little conversation while I built my bowl. Great food, great prices, great portions, and great service. I will definitely be back. I hope this place can weather this COVID storm because I know they're going to do well on passyunk.

Really good poke with lots of combo options! I love having this as a lunch/dinner option in the neighborhood.

So fresh and tasty. I got the build your own and didn't leave a grain of rice leftover. It was that good. And the staff is so nice and friendly. A must try!

New place opened up on Passyunk Ave! Was looking forward to it for a while now since coming across on Yelp. Finally got to try it as they are participating in Restaurant Week ($15)...they are very generous in the portion size which is great. But it lacked some flavor vs eating at other poke spots. Food is mediocre...The service was also great! Especially the one server!! wish I got her name because she was the sweetest and very honest to me. However, very disappointed in the making of their bubble tea's...it's literally drinking bitter water...no taste...not sweet...just disgusting. I got the oolong milk tea...If they could fix the ingredients to the bubble tea's it would be fine I guess. But check them out and don't let this review change your mind!

The food are really really fresh and the price for the amount is super reasonable. They have a patio in the back and it's soooooo cute

I got a custom bowl, and I was not disappointed! The toppings were fresh and melded together well. I didn't get too much in my bowl, but it was still filling. The milk tea was average; not super creamy, and the boba was very soft. Still satisfies a boba craving, though. Only complaint is that since the milk tea cup uses a detachable lid and was wrapped only in saran wrap, some spilled to the bottom of the bag. Just be careful if you order for pick up and get milk tea. Otherwise, great all around, we'll definitely be back!

I have never had a bad meal from Big Catch Poke. The portions in the poke bowls are generous and the food is always fresh. They added bao to the menu and it is quality as well. Highly recommended!

Me and my girlfriend stumbled upon this place when it was first opening and have been going back almost every week now! Fresh fish in south Philly at great prices, so happy for its addition to our neighborhood!

With my favorite poke place closing during the pandemic, Big Catch is my new fave. Fast delivery.

So many options, fresh, delicious, fairly priced especially with all of the unlimited toppings, nice atmosphere, great tables on the back patio :) cool little spot.

RUDE! RUDE! RUDE! I've never been treated with such rudeness at a restaurant in my entire life! The woman behind the counter was basically yelling at me the whole time, with rude attitude, not just talking loudly, but talking rudely and with attitude! First she asked (rudely from the beginning) "what kind of base do you want", I didnt understood what she said and I gently asked to repeat and she yelled rudely (again, not just loudly!) "WHT DO YOU WANT, WHITE RICE, BROWN RICE, GREEN RICE" and I said "oh sorry...yeah brown", then she asked what protein and I said salmon, then I saw her putting the salmon in a wooden bowl and I said -oh sorry, I need it "to go", sorry if I didn't say it- and she replied (again with impatient attitude and rudeness) "I know it's to go! see? i'm gonna put it here!", pointing at a 'to go container'. Then I was apologizing saying that I was confused by the wooden bowl and she stopped me asking (very rudely) to put up my face mask, as it slightly slipped just down my nose while I was embarrassedly talking (NOTE: my mouth was completely covered all the way up to my short mustache and I am fully vaccinated btw!). I just couldn't stay there and have this person abuse me with attitude and rudeness to the point of making me feel really uncomfortable, you know that feeling? And I can take rudeness, oh yeah if I can! but this was too much so I told her not to worry about it and left the place immediately and disgusted. My wife used to take out poke bowls from this place several times since they opened, as we live just next block, but after tonight they will never see our face again! Unbelievable! UPDATE: unfortunately Yelp doesn't make me respond to the lies she wrote below in response. I can't believe she even had the courage to respond like that, not apologizing after KNOWING how everything really went. Rude and lier. What's wrong with this woman? "Mutual respect"?, "I became impatient"? I can't believe it! I'm so disgusted! I wish I had a recording! To the manager: if you have security cameras (and you do), post the entire video with audio! You would never do that! I hope many more unfortunate customers will take the time to write a review on how rude and abusive you are and now, since you are also disgustingly lying, accusing me falsely, I will be reporting you to the BBB as well so you can show them your video recordings (although I bet you'll erase them immediately!).

Great place for poke in south philly. Company is very friendly and accommodating and the bowls are delicious! I always go with the signature ones but they also have a great lunch special. Definitely worth checking out if you live in the area! Highly recommend, one of my top 5 places for lunch

I love the poke bowls here! I get one almost once a week. Very fresh, affordable and arrives quickly when I order it. The staff was very nice when I came in to order pre-covid too. I will continue to get my poke bowls here!!

Great new spot. Staff is awesome and load you up to the brim. Extremely friendly. The food is super fresh with lots of sauce and topping options. 5/5.

My wife and I came in on Saturday Evening. It's definitely a cute little spot. The Service is super friendly and nice! They let us try some of their sauces before making a decision. Their mind eraser along with their sweet and sexy was my favorite. We were able to try some of the sauces before we made a decision. I had the tuna, my wife had the salmon and my sister in law had the shrimp. There was alot of rice in the bowl. The proteins had a small scoop in it. The tuna wasn't bad. I've definately had better at other places. The unlimited toppings were a huge plus. I loved that. The mango drink they had was really good and they were happy to accomodate for extra sauces. Overall it wasn't bad but then it wasn't completely stand out. I wish they would had balanced the protein a bit more with the rice. I definately felt like i had like 1/3 of the rice left by the time i finished eating my protein. The scoop size of the protein seemed really small. Overall wasnt bad. The Sauces were the best part of the bowl.

I am so glad stopped by last night. Excellent service and food is delicious! I love their special sauces specially the Jalapeño base whixh is what they call the mind eraser ... another good one is secret weapon and vinegar black sesame.... will be back again definitely!!!

This restaurant recently opened. The interior decor was refreshing, the layoutdesigned for quick eats. They do have a patio for large siy in groups. I tried the all fish poke bowl with the counut sauce, the balance was perfect. Btw unlimited toppings! Ask for the dry squid. Dont look for it on the menu it's not on the menu, yet.

I honestly have no words for how amazing my poke bowl from Big Catch was. The ingredients were tremendously fresh & delicious, and the staff in the store were super kind & helpful! It was very affordable, especially the lunch special which came with unlimited bowl toppings and a bubble tea. Definitely will be going back and definitely will be recommending it to all of my friends.

We got to try Big Catch today and I am SO GLAD they are in the neighborhood. The fish was fresh and tasty, all of the (unlimited!) toppings were delicious and the sauces were perfect. (I got my regular sauce but the woman working gave us three samples- I ended up using all three because each was better than the last). What an awesome addition to the avenue- as much as I love all of the restaurant options here, I am so excited to have a fresh, fast option.

So glad they are here in the East Passyunk Business Distract. The shop look so chic and the patio seating so cozy. The food so fresh and they offer unlimited topping and unlimited crunches. Right Now they having grand opening special 25% until 12/31/19. The offer fresh juice and fresh sugarcanes juice.

Pretty disappointed that they didn't have avocado or the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice on the menu. They also didn't have the other jasmine green tea either. The server was very apologetic which I appreciate but it doesn't make up for a bad experience for a first time. I wasn't told about unlimited toppings or etc. I wasn't told that dining in is just the same as take out except you grab a seat in the back while they were moving boxes, yelling and etc. It was just awkward.. As for the food itself ? It was just okay. Too much rice and ratio is off . I sat until my daughter finished and anxiously waited to leave. I don't think I'll be coming back.

In light of a recently terrible Poke experience, I want to shout out this restaurant. Last week, I got a take-out order of a two-fish build-your-own Poke bowl that was simply phenomenal. The bowls are HUGE and the toppings are unlimited. With this place, the Poke world is your oyster (no actual oysters included though). I was a big fan of their Sriracha Aoili and their salmon and tuna tastes as fresh as it can get. I was in a flavorfully blissful state after eating. Such a great experience! Other places should take notes...
