Poke In The Bowl

Came for quick dinner before attending a concert. If you want a quick, hopefully healthy and delicious meal before rushing on, come eat a poke bowl. Their prices are pretty reasonable. The concept is quite simple, very similar to Subway where you create your own meal. There are 6 easy steps listed on the sign to start your order. First is choose size/how much you want to eat. Second, choose sides. Three, choose proteins. Four, select mix-ins (ie onions, cucumbers, etc.) Five, choose sauce. Step 6 choose toppings. Now you are done. Just pay and grab your food, eat, and you are now ready for your next adventure. Quick, easy, yummy. End.

First time and very positive surprise. Large choice of fresh vegetables, raw fishes, rice, noddles, dressing. The bowl was delicious

the place was very aesthetically pleasing and my bowl was very fresh and yummy! i got half white rice and salad with crab meat, salmon, shrimp, cucumber, corn, green onions, radish and topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. the flavors together were so good. the workers also very nice. i would definitely go back to try their burrito and add more toppings!

This was my first time trying poke, and it was absolutely amazing. The flavors were so fresh and well-balanced—it definitely exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

I really enjoy the meals here. They fill me up and feel light. I wasn't sure what to order my first time, but it's all good so far

Love this place!! People are sweet & friendly with a helping hand at every visit. Their food is always fresh & tastes incredible! If you haven’t made a stop, you definitely need to put it on your calendar. 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

Nice little restaurant. I was in the neighborhood and decided to investigate. The place is very clean and I ordered because everything looks very fresh. I was pleased with my order. It's a little pricey for a bowl and a green tea. My only pet peeve is the plastics used. Not eco-friendly.

The food tastes amazing and is always fresh. I’ve eaten at several Poke places across Houston and this one has it all, large selection of protein, veggies, and toppings. You get plenty of food for your money. I’ve never left hungry or unsatisfied.

I tried to poke in the bowl once a month ago and I thought it was just ok. I tried it again after one of my finals and thought it was so much better this time. I ordered take out from their location again and got a large which includes 3 proteins. I got white rice, salmon, classic tuna, and spicy tuna as my proteins with 2 scoops of spicy crab meat. I topped it with green and red onion, cucumber, masago, Tobiko, wonton crisps, kizami nori, roasted garlic, crispy onion, house ponzu, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. This bowl was so much better than my last one. One of my classmates asked for an order of whatever I got as well and he loved it. They gave me way more sauce this time and I could taste the difference. I like the crunchy texture that the wonton and fried garlic and onion adds. It just felt like every bite had a flavor bomb in it this time. Definitely a much better experience this time

The proportion we're to small for large. Cmon for $16 bucks you get that little scooper for protein. Nah, I rather go somewhere else.

Stayed in Houston for a few nights with a friend who was seeing a Dr at MD Anderson. We were able to walk half a mile to get dinner. The staff quickly made our meals and we were on the way. The food was delicious and was of great proportion. Simple setting with tables and booths and not much decor.

I stopped by Poke In the Bowl and did a regular BYO bowl. While I wish we weren't limited in the amount of sides we could pick, I'm glad the other toppings/additions are unlimited. My bowl was about $14 including tax, which is pretty standard for poke, and I felt full after finishing my food, which is always a good thing. I'd say it's a solid poke place in Houston.

The customer service is why this a star is missing. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, but the staff is not very welcoming or friendly. The poke bowls make up for that however. I love the salmon and tuna. I get half rice and half greens for the base. I also ask for my meat to be mixed in a bowl with sauce and placed atop my base then add the toppings. The place gives a Togo type of feel. It's very empty in there so doesn't give you a cozy want to dine in vibe, but they do have tables off to the left side if you want to dine in. Overall, these are good quality poke bowls. I'd say stop in.

They forgot some portions of my orders but it's ok I can take it the protein and size are pretty good Especially with their coupons the price became reasonable the store is very big enough The vibe is a typical store Protein is fresh

Amazing poke spot. Really fresh and good value. This place is a bit different from the usual poke spots. Generally you build your bowl with whatever condiments/toppings you prefer! Love the customization. Will be back!

Ordered via Uber eats, got the half and half rice bowl. Lots of topping options to choose from. Bowl ended up being a decent portion, bigger than other places. The quality of the ingredients was good, but didn't taste super fresh.

Solid poke -- everything was tasty and fresh. I had hoped to see more toppings but was still able to build a great bowl. The sauce (Truffle Ponzu) was a bit lacking in flavor and I used two containers to douse my poke. Same with the miso soup -- a bit on the blander side.

This poke store is great! I've ordered here multiple times and even done ubereats delivery from here as well and it's also very good. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are reasonable. Parking is pretty easy, there's even 2 dedicated spots right outside the store for only poke in the bowl customers. There's also a few tables inside if you want to eat at the restaurant.

Amazing. Fresh. Sauces are very flavorful. Truffle ponzu and the house spicy are great. This might be my new poke spot. Great choice of ingredients. Their menu is a bit different. Plus they are running a B1G1 50% this month from Mon-Sat 2-6. I highly recommend this place

Saw Poke In The Bowl on UberEats and decided to give it a try one day during lunch. I got the large brown rice bowl that comes with 3 proteins and a boatload of toppings! It was a little on the expensive side but all poke seems to be priced that way these days, at least in Houston. I wouldn't say quality, portions and price are comparable to Foodland in Hawaii but the portions were pretty huge compared to other establishments around town. You have lots of toppings to choose from and everything was fairly fresh! I got my sauce in the side but I didn't need much of it cause the spicy tuna and other fish were seasoned well to begin with. I would definitely swing by again for my next poke fix!

We ordered delivery,and were all disappointed by the small amount of meat. Decent taste,doesn't worth the price at all.And the description is so vague,what is half and half bowl? Before we opened it we all thought that'll be half brown rice and half white rice.And the sauces are just sweet.

I have been in this place multiple times. This has always been my favorite poke restaurant. The rice is perfectly cooked. I usually get the salmon and tofu bowl with avocado. Unlike other places, the avocado here is green and fresh. I would love to know where they got the avocado from. The amount of fish you get is huge. If you take a large bowl like me, it will surely fill up your stomach. The fish is bright, with a metallic luster. They have variety of sauces. All of them are good, you can't go wrong with the eel and spicy mayo sauce. My favorite one is the sweet chili, can't describe how good it is, but as the name suggests if you like spicy and sweet, you definitely should give it a try. The service here is friendly and fast, I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.

My wife and I think that this is the most fresh poke in town, and the closest thing to genuine Hawaiian poke in Houston. 10/10 would recommend. It's also priced reasonably well.

I've been coming here for the last few years and the taste is delicious but, the portions have gotten smaller and smaller including the scoops themselves and I watch the staff count the shrimp one by one. We even mentioned something to the staff and they just looked at us with no response. They are very unfriendly. For the amount of money we spend there I would expect better service and better portions . I won't be going back there anytime soon as it's time to find a better poke spot.

Fresh ingredients is what makes a good poke bowl and the ingredient to where the fresh is. Shrimp salmon tuna we're all fresh mix with avocado can't get any better anywhere.

First place I've found that has consistently good poke! Fresh tuna and spicy tuna with yummy toppings.

We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch since we're fans of poke and wanted to compare experiences of this healthy-ish food trend. My husband opted for a large bowl and I opted for a regular. I had their yummy house-tuna and yellow tail with seaweed salad, edamame, corn, mixed salad base, and Ponzu sauce. I paired this with a Topo-Chico since it was like 100 degrees outside. It was all very delicious, but I took off one star because they didn't mix it for me. This means that I had the topping first and worked my way through the layers until the mixed greens base, which was soggy as a result. I know it's not a huge deal to mix it myself, but I thought paying for the bowls would mean better mixture of ingredients. I'll keep this in mind next time.

Great poke joint with lots of varieties to add. My recommendation is the spicy tuna and crab mix. Salad bowl is my go to. Buy 10 get 1 bowl free

Is the great pokey place and we eat here often and we're never never disappointed. Great amount of protein great quality of fresh produce.

Very solid choice for Poke in the area. Portions are perfect (I get 2 proteins which makes a decent bowl with both rice or salad) and you can add whatever you want on top, no need to worry about upcharges - and they have the traditional poke ingredients plus a couple of cool ones to choose from. Went here a couple of times and got 2 bowls each time, no complaints ever. Flavors are great, everything seems very fresh and you can make it quite spicy if you're into that kind of thing. Service was good every time I was there, they even encourage you to get their stamp card which gives you a free bowl ever 10 bowls. Very clean, neat place, good Covid protocols when I was there.

Maybe it was the fact that I went an hour before closing but their poke bowls were just OK. The spicy tuna was good but the toppings did not compliment the dish as a whole plus they forgot my rice. I had hope for the sauce but the sauces were not saucing. Also ordered a miso soup and it lacked so much flavor.

Such a neat concept where you build your own poke bowl in steps! I built mine with brown rice, tofu, veggies, and a delicious sauce! The establishment was very neat and had procedures in place to ensure everyone's safety!

This was a pleasant surprise. I've had poke bowls in the past but this was far superior. The freshness of the fish, choices of ingredients, creative use of toppings, and fantastic presentation really makes this place so much better than anywhere else I've been. I look forward to ordering again soon.

I give them 0 stars for originality but 4 for overall taste. I visited for lunch one day and ordered the large with 3 scoops. I chose 2 salmon and 1 yellowtail scoop. The spoons for scooping are pretty small like many other poke places, but they over pack them with fresh fish. I again chose to add all the free toppings but this time I added avocado. It is 1.50 extra, but they give you a good amount. I went with the most popular sauce to add at the end, the sweet chili. ..how can you go wrong with that combination. The location is very good and service was typical of a fast casual, serving line type restaurant. Don't forget to check in for a free miso soup!!

Loved this place! The service was attentive and fast. You stand in line then order from the food behind the glass what toppings and food you want. There's 2 sizes, the small one is two scoops and you can pick from brown rice, rice or a poke burrito which is like a wrap but with seaweed. I ordered the brown rice with shrimp and scallops and tried their truffle sauce. You can sit inside in picnic like tables or near the window on stools. The food was delicious and light but filling. They have free cucumber or lemon water which is very nice. It's a great place to go for a quick bite and not worry about parking since you don't have to valet.

This is my go to poké place. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable on what would pair well together. I came here to have a quiet dinner by myself and that's what I got! It seems more people grab their food to-go here. I was here for 20 minutes and only two people sat down but 6 people came to order to-go. I typically don't like to eat at places that have food in the open but they had everything covered at all times!

Usually a go to but today was different. Went in person and ask for a large just now. I continually asked for a 3rd protein and didn't get one. In the end he charged me for a regular which I didn't want. I told him I wanted a large and he looked confused. It was really hard getting my point across. In end it was kind of disappointing....

Honestly 5/5 food but just a little too expensive. Expected for Poke though. Loved the bowl itself. It was healthy and had lots of flavor. Highly recommend the spicy sauce to finish off whatever bowl you get.

Their signature tuna was really good and the portions sizes are very large. They give you two scoops of rice. The variety is not as much as other poke places but it's still really good. I really like how they mix salad greens in the poke bowl as well and the sauces have lots of flavor. The bowls are also not plastic which is a plus. Also, corn is one of the toppings which some other poke places don't have. Highly recommend ordering their signature tuna and adding corn!

I have been trying to try every poke place in houston. Very clean place. One thing i did like, was they offer chicken if you are not a seafood fan. A lot of places do not offer that. They had a pretty good variety of sauces, meats and toppings. I have seen more so that is why i gave 4 instead of 5. Also, i asked what was in the classic poke and i was given a funny answer, so i never found out really what was in it until i ate it. I would have rather regular to make my own after choosing it. It wasn't bad, just not what i will pick next time. The place was very clean and no funny smells. Staff was friendly.

Really good poke - great portions and yummy sauces. We've tried multiple poke delivery places over the course of the pandemic and this has been the best one we've tried.

This food made me throw up. Was excited to see scallops on the menu, ordered them... Big mistake, looked microwaves and I later found out that it was not good at all. Salmon, albacore, and scallop bowl are all tasty anything but fresh. From the first bite I knew someone wasn't right, I ate more because 1) I paid for it and 2) I was hungry. Another mistake, not even 20 minutes later I put the poke in the bowl. So bad so bad so bad.

One of the better poke bowl places that have flooded the city. Most of these fast casual poke places you find now aren't true poke places that you'd find in Hawaii. They are Chipotle-esque, where you pick your protein and toppings, and a sauce is applied over the top. Usually poke in the traditional sense involves the fish to be sitting in a marinade like soy/ginger/sugar and served directly. Not to say Poke in the Bowl is traditional, but I love how they mix the protein/fish separately in the sauce prior to adding it on top of the rest of the bowl. Not really traditional, but at least better than most poke places. Servers are nice, and they are patient with you when you have no idea how to order the first time you are there. Also, free miso soup with Yelp check-in!

Great place to grab a quick bite to go. They're set up well for to go orders and they're really quick. I got a regular White Rice Bowl with Salmon, House Shoyu sauce, Ginger, Edamame. Pretty good, no complaints but doesn't have a wow factor. Definitely a good place to go for a quick pick up to go.

The customer service here is exceptional. They honored the miso soup for checking in and offered to let me try a few things I wasn't sure about. While they don't have pre- created bowls on the menu you are at liberty to create your own. You get your choice of two sizes (I selected spicy crab meat and seaweed salad), a base of salad, brown or white rice and 2 proteins. I selected the spicy tuna and the classic tuna. I really like the spicy tuna it had a lot of flavor and kick. I was not as impressed with the classic tuna which was a bit chewy. The "mix ins" or veggies are unlimited you are free to have whatever you like from corn to red cabbage. They have juices for sale and provide an option of cucumber or lemon water that are both self serve. My order was just about $12 and it was quite a bit of food. I wish they had a few more veggie options but it was decent. The location is nice. Sit somewhere where you can enjoy the natural light from the window. While the restaurant and seating area appeared to be clean the restroom did need some attention. It's a bit of a downer after such a pleasant experience.

The portions are very nice. My daughter and I both got a regular size and I could barely finish mine. The salmon and tuna were fresh and they have a good selection of sauces. There was no place to eat inside or out so we parked and people watched from the car and ate.

First time eating Poké and it was really good, loved it here very good variety would definitely recommend! Would come again!

Tasty fresh options, I loved the seaweed it was so fresh but had a slightly sour kick to it. My bowl was engulfed with delicious salmon, tuna and all of the vegetables that your heart can desire! Red cabbage, onions, different dressings along with sesame seeds for toppings if you choose. This place is a great start if you want something fresh and healthy nothing fried and nothing Americanized about it.

For a person who has never tried this poke bowl stuff, this Bowl was the _hit!!!! I've seen pics, read posts but never had it. I walked in this place and was greeted immediately by a sweet friendly (lady)voice coming from behind the food area. I'm so confused as how to order or what to even order. Luckily here comes this guy from the seating área (I'm thinking he was on break) to help put my bowl together. Let me tell you I was intimidated by his look. But don't let it bother You! He hooked me up with a good ass bowl I tell you! He helped explain what everything was and how and what I can add. He also gave me samples and told me what was good. Over all my experience here was Great! But that BOWL! I'm still craving it. Will definitely be going back.

This is a really solid poke spot. Lots of great options to customize your bowl and pretty standard prices for poke. Get the classic tuna it is marinated in a tasty sauce. Got this to go for lunch and it stayed really fresh. Also got salmon over white rice with seaweed salad, edamame, and the spicy crab meat which was really good. Topped it off with cucumbers, cilantro, green onion, furikake, crispy onions, and sesame seeds. The spicy Mayo had good flavor but wasn't too spicy! Went around noon on a Friday and there was barely a line, I was in and out in 5 min.

This is based purely on customer service and atmosphere. I have yet to try their food only for the mere fact when I am done with my work day they're closed. I mostly do Uber Eats and Door Dash pick ups. This staff are just amazing. The place is always clean the food looks fresh ALL the times I come here. I have picked up here for two years and have never had a bad experience. I just would like to give the staff their flowers for their hardwork and great attitude. You allow me to make pit stops and I am never ignored. For that I am grateful. Please keep up the great work!

Despite the somewhat hokey name, Poke in the Bowl is one of the best poke places I've had in Houston. The major plus here is that you get an enormous serving of fish, sides, and an abundance of free add-ins for a price that is comparable to that of other poke places. I got the regular size bowl, which comes with two fish options. I went with the classic tuna (tuna mixed with their signature marinade - highly recommend) and salmon, and I chose salad, crab mix, and edamame as my bases. You can pile on tons of other free sides such as onion, radish, lotus chips, and much more - which I did - and then you can choose a sauce. I went with the truffle ponzu, which I loved, and my boyfriend opted for the spicy sauce to go along with his spicy tuna bowl. I rarely feel truly full after eating poke, but even my regular size bowl felt delightfully endless, and for only $11 I felt I got more than my money's worth. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free miso soup!

I came here on a whim, craving a fresh bowl of poke. Normally places have premade bowls but they had a "make your own" set up. The girl who works there was incredibly kind and helpful helping me build my bowl- even let me sample the types of fish before deciding. So sad when it ended- it was delicious! FYI I got a mix rice/salad bowl with salmon, marinated tuna, and spicy crab meat + ponzu sauce. Mmmm delicioso!

In my quest to try all the new poke places in Houston, PITB is the first to receive a less-than-enthusiastic recommendation from me. Don't get me wrong, it has a lot going for it - a good variety of customization options, seaweed and kani salads included in the base price, and excellent service. But the food is hardly special, and as I picked through my poke "salad" I found nothing that redeemed the overall generic nature of the place. My first moment of confusion came when we were offered square to-go boxes instead of the traditional round plastic bowls - I suppose it's because we ordered a mix of salad and rice, which takes up more space compared to rice alone. Sure. That makes sense. But then I watched just one of three of my protein options - the fresh but flavorless salmon - being scooped into a paper tray to be mixed with several veggies and doused with ponzu. The other choices of classic tuna and spicy tuna were scooped unceremoniously on top of the hefty bed of mixed greens, which were subsequently dressed with another small squirt of ponzu. Toppings like tamago, furikake, and nori were haphazardly scattered on the end product, which resembled, more than anything, a new-age Asian-themed chef's salad than the delicious mix of meaty, aromatic seafood I've come to expect from other places. Mom quite liked that everything wasn't mixed together too thoroughly - in fact, she liked it more than Seaside, to my surprise - but I thought the effort was pretty minimal. The miso soup is definitely not worth $2.50 - use your Yelp check-in offer to try it and see whether you agree with me or not. There are some desserts in the fridge cabinet on the side - daifuku, mochi ice cream, and Japanese cheesecake - which are not too much expensive than their Asian grocery store counterparts. But you could hardly think to ascribe that as one of the things that Poke in the Bowl does well. Come here for a quick meal or to sate your seafood fix - but keep your expectations in check.

Love this poke place! They provide good amounts of each product for the price. Compared to other places they don't skimp you out! I'm slowly becoming a regular. Their green tea is good too! Just got a sushi burrito ! Again great amount for price!

I like this place. I like how fresh the fish are. I've come twice and there's usually no one there. Its not a very busy place even though it's in a busy area. Being the only one in the restaurant, they let you try some of the fish and sauces to see what you like. Their classic tuna is really good! It's nicely marinated. And their sweet chili sauce is the bomb!! Why the 2 stars? The two times I've been, one of the two times, I notice a guy, which seems to be the bossman talking to the workers. This place has an echo so you can easily hear conversations. I just so happen to hear the conservation between the bossman and his staff. He was basically being unnecessarily mean to his staff. Like they made a mistake and he would embarrass them. I feel like you should talk out of sight of customers or when they aren't there. I feel bad for the staff. The tone of the bossman's voice was unsettling. Food is good. Great service. Bottom line. Bossman, treat your staff right. Don't embarrass them. Especially when there's customers in sight.

Another poké place to the mix - this time, right in the middle of Montrose! Like many of their other competitors, Poke in the Bowl's set up is cafeteria style and offers the standard proteins (salmon, tuna, scallop, shrimp, chicken...which is kinda weird but sure, okay. They also offer a wide variety of sauces, unlimited toppings, and crunchy toppings. Craving dessert? They sell individually packed mochi and fish-shaped ice cream! PS: They also give you miso soup if you check-in!
