Pokè Bar

I’m surprised by the critical reviews about this restaurant. I went on a Thursday night and now realize I was there past closing time. Despite that, the employee provided quick and courteous service. Not once did she seem irate or unprofessional. I’ve been to most if not all Poke spots in the Tyson’s/Merrifield area, and this place by far gives you the most bang for your buck (or maybe I just got lucky). I’m the type of person who can finish 30 - 40 pieces of nigiri and still leave hungry, but was perfectly satisfied with the portions they served here. The quality of the food was great and there is plenty of variety. Chose to create my own bowl, so I cannot speak to their preset bowl options. Also, this is to the reviewers who don’t actually provide any substantiation for their rating, but if you’re going to rate somewhere lower than 4 stars you should at least provide some kind of reasoning. In this day and age ratings alone can make or break a restaurant.

Family got carry out here for the first time. We all like asian and fresh, so this was right up our alley. Fish was good n fresh. Toppings all good. Very quick service. We were in and out in 5 minutes but it was not crowded. Definitely will eat here again.

I was impressed with this new establishment. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant is pleasant. I’m a stickler for seafood and was worried that the fish wouldn’t be fresh but I was wrong. I did not have any digestion issues after eating this food despite it being a “pick and serve” “chipotle” type restaurant. The portions are great for the price, especially in this area ( for all you fellow meatheads who hate spending $15.00 for a half cup of rice and three shrimp). Go to this Poke Bar, I will flip flop between here and my other go-to spot, Cava.

Worst poke place I’ve ever been to in my life and I have been to a lot in the area. Other than the fact that they have no marinades and their food sucks (this is definitely not poke) just raw sashimi in a bowl. Their service is terrible, the employees are lifeless and take forever. They have the audacity to charge extra for another spoon of masago I could not even finish my bowl because of how horrible it tasted

Staff are very nice. Taking 2 stars off because the fish is not labeled as wild caught or farmed/ sustainable etc... which might mean it is low quality unhealthy fish. Lots of healthy and customizable options.

Lazy and slow staff. Every time I order for pick up/delivery, they mess something up or it's never ready on time. Please go to Lei'd in Tysons. It's PHENOMENAL. Oh also, the number they have listed on their menu and website can't receive calls aka can't receive complaints. How convenient for the lazy workers.

Good food but they take forever. I was first in line and it took 15 minutes because they were prioritizing online orders. I saw it happen to other customers as well. Need more staff.

Pretty meh. The food is fine, but definitely not worth the high price. Service isn't terrible, but still pretty slow. This area has other really great options so I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have a strong desire for this exact type of food.
