PokeCity Glendale

Poke City has gone way downhill. This used to be my regular spot when I worked on CO Blvd but now the prices have increased (I guess to be expected) but the quality is way downhill. The fish was slimy and unappealing, most of the toppings seemed like they were previously frozen. Also, the guy behind the counter seemed rushed and frustrated even though I was the only person in line. Final nail in the coffin is that there's an obscene amount of plastic plants here. Even the floor is astro-turf. Gross. If you're a fan $20 mediocre poke bowls and green plastic, this place is for you.

This is my new favorite poke place. Incredibly clean, incredibly cold, fish and ingredients and very nice staff. Also very cool atmosphere with some cool high top tables. I’ve been back here 4x since my original post and it’s my fave. The cleanest place to eat. They take cleanliness super seriously.

Overall a great place. Came in at opening, everything was really fresh. The server was good, just a little lack luster, not super friendly or welcoming or anything. The House bowl was really good and I liked that it came with a bowl of soup! I would definitely come back again! The decor is trendy and cute.

Really good poke. Stopped by after working out. Staff was super friendly and really enjoyed the lemonade they made. Good size portion and like how many options you can put in your bowl Would definitely recommend this place if you are craving poke.

Hands down the freshest and most flavorful poke I’ve had in Denver! Every ingredient tastes like it was prepped just minutes before—super crisp veggies, melt-in-your-mouth fish, and perfectly seasoned sauces. The portions are generous, the combinations are customizable, and everything is beautifully presented. On top of that, the place is spotless—you can tell they really care about cleanliness and quality. This has become my go-to spot for a healthy, delicious meal. Highly recommend!

I"ve stopped in over the last 5 years. I make it a point (and will actually go out of my way) to stop at Poke City. I even bring an ice chest just to bring a Poke Bowl home to my wife, and I live in Colorado Springs. I love Poke City-

EXCELLENT! Delicious food. Simple options. Large portions for the price. Kind and friendly staff. Will be back many times.

While the place is well decorated, with lots of AstroTurf, plastic plants, lighting and phone charging cables.. the food is horrible on many levels! In my opinion, lots of sauce is necessary to mask the very small servings of low quality fish (I had the yellow tail, salmon, and spicy tuna). In addition, the brown rice is either very old, treated with vinegar, or both. The seaweed salad is just bad. Some of the mango is to soft and slimy. The miso soup is barely edible when warm, and foul when cold. This is the only poke meal that I couldn't finish in years! The glass separating the customers from the food while choosing the ingredients only protects the food from the shortest of people. Any sneeze, cough, or breath goes directly onto the food awaiting your selection. Gross! To top it all off, the price point vs serving size of fish is higher than other poke places in nicer neighborhoods in Denver. On the bright side, the guy preparing the bowl today was friendly, helpful, and practiced good food safety techniques (gloved hands, separate scoops for the ingredients, and covering the ingredients when there were no customers for a while) With so much attention to detail having gone into creating a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal, I feel bad leaving a two star review, but it honestly deserves just one.

Wild-caught fish options, friendly customer service, you can mix and match the base e.g. half rice half salad. Very tasty food. I was visiting Denver for a business trip, staying nearby, and walked here for lunch. Will come back here to eat as much as possible during the trip and in the future.

Love how easy their poke bowls are! Fast service, fresh toppings and lots of variety! Ambiance is great as well- I was too hungry to take a pic of my food

I haven't had a poke bowl in a loooooong time and it was calling my name today. I went to find their website and really couldn't find one except ways to order pickup. I used Grubhub, which worked perfectly. I didn't realize how expensive poke bowls have gotten. $20 is a little rough for a small bowl but I will say my bowl was delicious. It was packed pretty well, but lacked some sauce. The site only lets you order one sauce for the whole bowl and I put in the notes asking for extra sauce and I am pretty sure they didn't do it. Luckily I had some soy sauce packets in my desk as work to help out. The fish was fresh and the bowl was delicious. The nice lady at the counter was super sweet and helped me get packets of sriracha and chop sticks. Overall, good quick pickup lunch.

Owner is rude and don't eat here! Everytime I go into the restaurant he has an attitude with me

I gave this place another try and happily increase it to 5 stars! Walking in, the restaurant is tastefully decorated and clean. The person who prepared my meal was pleasant and generous in scooping in portions. I got the medium bowl- tuna, spicy tuna, salmon. 2 scoops of crab salad were also included free of charge, along with a side of miso soup that was complimentary. For sauce, I got the spicy sauces. There is enough for another meal tomorrow! Food was top notch and I'll happily go back again!

3/16/25- I totally love this place. Prices are about right and quality is good. They also include a side of miso soup for free. The only negative is I wish they would give you a bigger bowl to mix up your poke like the other locations do.

Really good poke bowl! Portion was a good value for the price, everyone was friendly, flavors were tasty, and there were many great options for sauces and toppings.

After going to a different location and having a stellar experience, I was excepting the same here. Sadly, it wasn't the case. The location had an odd smell to it and was quite warm inside. The miso soup was cold. The poke was meh. I'll stick to driving a bit farther for the location I prefer.

The food is pretty good! Not a ton of options, especially if you're GF! Otherwise, it's yummy! GF only has one sauce though :( The ambiance is cute and the miso soup is really good. Customer service is good!

Food was good, portions are quite small. the service was fast and friendly. Clean and quiet place. 8/10

Food is excellent. When I travel out to the Denver area for work this is one of my go to spots. Clean and tasty food. Service and ambiance is great. Friendly staff.

I got a medium poke bowl. It was a lot of food and was basically enough food for a whole day. Next time I'd get a small one and be just fine for a lunch meal. The small does look especially tiny however. The topping selection was great. The toppings are bottomless (with some with an extra charge). Not all poke spots offer this so this is a big plus. The meat selection here had good variety with things like scallop and octopus available for no extra charge. The staff is great at providing suggestions if you have requests or questions. There is a variety of seating but most people seem to take their food to go.

Service was super helpful in suggesting the best! Always fresh and plenty of food for the next day!

I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at PokeCity. The staff was extremely kind and GENEROUS in the portions served !! A great restaurant to get a customized poke bowl.

PokeCity on Colorado Blvd in Denver is my favorite fast food Poke go to happy place! On one visit there was a line of folks waiting for a bowl. Everyone was super patient. There was 1 person making bowls at lightening speed and no one waited long. The amazing service and wonderful portions that we always receive was present even with one missing employee. The "server" was amazing, not flustered and friendly! The poke bowl, medium size with tuna and salmon all the fresh and plentiful toppings added to my delight. Other visits have continued to impress and I highly recommend!

Good different brown rice kinds I like soft rice I like poke salmon's is best I live in Colorado Springs not often go Denver when my appointment that all

The food is good here. But they are just randomly closed at the weirdest times despite the sign on their place saying they're open every day...for example, today they were close at 6pm on a Friday.

Finally some fresh fish in this city!! Poke was great and price was what you'd expect. Definitely try their house sauce! Also owner was working the front and super nice!

Let me start off by saying this- we were blown away by the PokeCity in Federal Heights with both the food and customer service there that we decided to try the Glendale location as it is closer to where we live..big mistake. This location was worse than mediocre. It smelled like pizza inside (there is a Dominos next door) which was weird and when you go sit outside on their patio, the chairs are all locked to the tables and you can barely sit in them! They don't even unlock them during their business hours so people can sit outside. The staff there was not very friendly or helpful, I even witnessed one of them sneeze into her arm where her glove was and did not go to the back and wash up or put on a new glove and kept helping customers in line. It grossed me out hardcore. Poke bowls were not flavored at all even with all the add ons, fish quality was poor too..I can even say this was the worst poke bowl I've had in years, maybe ever. But hey atleast it looks good in the photo. Also the cashier told us they were doing to go only at the time..which didn't make sense because the containers they use are plastic anyways and people were sitting inside eating too. Also for their shrimp they use the bags from Costco just a heads up..they have a big cooler in site they don't even try to hide their frozen products. I wouldn't go back to this Glendale location, but I would go back to the Federal Heights one..I'll make that extra drive for quality because you don't get it here.

Very pleased! 3 scoops for $15 is a great deal compared to all the other poke places. To my surprise, the shrimp, salmon, and crab were incredibly fresh. There were a ton of options here for toppings, and all were a hit except mango which was very under ripe. Nonetheless, great service, bang for your buck, and quality. Can't go wrong here.

What happened? For 2 MEDIUM bowls with extra protein, the bowls are barely half full! What a rip!

Nothing to complain about. The food is delicious and fresh and the service is friendly and the restaurant is very well decorated and insta pic worthy.

Started coming here since my usual spot closed. The portions feel generous to me, so it's a good value. I love that they started offering eel -- that'll keep me coming back! Everything is very tasty, and they have an amazing assortment of tropical drinks and flavored lemonades. The employees are nice and they do a good job. I never stay to eat but the decor is SOOO cute here, and everything seems super clean.

Loved their poke and it even came with a free cup of miso soup. The man taking our order was super kinda gave us recommendations on toppings like hot Cheeto,which I've never had before on a poke bowl. The price has increased due to covid but nevertheless the quality was great.

I've been to my fair share of Poke joints because I'm always looking for a healthy, mto lunch option - always choosing new poke places. I can fully say that this spot has the best quality, best portions, best variety of toppings, sauces and protein! A few mixed salads to choose from, unique sauces I haven't seen anywhere else. The end toppings were all good too. I even took the option to top up on some hot Cheetos and while it was fun, I wouldn't recommend that on a fish/salad/poke bowl. (Not a reflection of the quality of the Cheetos, but just an overall recommendation) cool that they gave the option though! My bowl was packed with my excessive toppings that they gave me medium bowl for spill over. It was under $10! I've never had a poke bowl for under 10 with that much option and quality. They even add a small tofu miso soup for you at the end! So far, best in Denver. Will be my healthy go to :)

This place is average. They are stingy with the toppings and hardly gave me any sauce. They did not have any Kim chi or sriracha. The brown rice was dried out.

I tried PokeCity for the first time the other day, and I was really impressed! They have a great selection of proteins, salads, and toppings. Their portion size is also super generous! I had a small and I could only eat half, so I had plenty left over for my next meal. The staff was very friendly and gave me recommendations when I asked. They also through in some miso soup for free, which was really lovely and a nice surprise! I also like the decor of this location, it was really fun and bright and contributed to the nice atmostphere. I live really close so I'm looking forward to going back!

Gotta catch 'em all, POKE BOWL! The Poke bowl was well proportioned with various toppings and fish. The scallops, spicy tuna, and salmon had a silky and smooth texture. The raw fish was slightly chewy and well seasoned with soy sauce, chili, and lemon juice. The sticky rice had a sharp, sour zing of the acidic taste from the vinegar. The aroma of the vinegar and ginger filled the air immediately. The line has started to die down, so go build-your-own bowl!

As a Local born Kamaaina via California, I'm a purist when it comes to Poke. Ahi tuna fresh from my Unkos boat, shoyu, green onion, white onion, sesame oil, paakai and then lomi lomi it. Pau! PokeCity did pretty good to keep it simple. They didn't have tuna today so I went with the salmon and tako(octopus), shoyu- sesame sauce, white and green onions, sliced cucumber, edamame, and Wakame all over hot white rice. Was Onolicous and Broke da mout! I'm normally plant based, almost a year, and I decided to break my fast of animal flesh tonight before we leave to go back to California tomorrow. They even beat the poke places back in CA. No pics cause was so Ono to eat right away!

I found out about this place from a former coworker over a year ago and I'm addicted! The price point is spendy, but you get a lot of food. I love everything about this place and PROUDLY drop by for lunch at least once a month...even in the winter months! Check them out as I'm sure they won't disappoint.

I have been to several poké places around Denver, and PokeCity beats them all in terms of food quality and customer service. I like how the menu is set up here. You build your own poké bowl and the steps and ingredients are clearly illustrated. The spicy tuna aioli bowl is a must-get item! And prices are reasonable, too. I would also like to give a shout out to Chaz T. This employee methodically explained the menu and how it all works during my first visit to PokeCity. He answered questions that I have without making me feel rushed. His excellent customer service should be noted. I would return to have more poké!

We have been trying to eat healthfully and made a stop here- finally! It was so delish! Fast and friendly order at the counter service and 100% customizable to what you like. I got a medium bowl (3 scoops) and it was gigantic. You get scoops of meat/ protein and I chose 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna which go on a base of rice (brown or white) or a salad. Then load up your choice of fresh toppings- they make it very easy with steps listed up on the board. Side note: Poke City has the best imitation crab salad I've ever had- random huh!? They are very generous with toppings and some are at an additional cost (avocado and octopus salad to name a few). So the price can add up quickly but ask ahead of time if you're not sure. Served on the side is a nice little cup of miso soup, perfect in winter to warm the bones. Overall it was one of the satisfying, healthiest and delicious lunches I've had in a while. For the two of us (one medium bowl and one large bowl with some extras for both, plus 2 drinks) it was around $40 with a 20% tip (hubby is a good tipper even at a fast casual place). You could certainly go for much cheaper- a small bowl is around $10. They also have kid bowls for $4 but not sure if they'd allow you to have in the restaurant as an adult? We were impressed and had a great guide (wish I could remember his name) to help us through our first visit. Can't wait to go again!

I was trying to save my 200th review for some spectacular foodie extravaganza where I'm eating at a place where I'm dining near Alice Waters who is also oohing and Ahing at the fabulous presentations and exquisite cuisine. .. and somewhere at the bar, Anthony Bourdain, tells the waiter, "I'll have what he is having". So instead... a strip mall in Cherry Creek Denver. These places are popping up all over California and I suppose it's natural to swing through Denver as well. I so wanted to hate this place, bright shiny menu placards all over the front of this Chipotle gone Asian-Hawaiian. The formulaic assembly line approach is noteworthy because like chi-poodles you see what's going into your dish, a little more of this a little less of that. Casual dining in industrial yellow, metallic and bleached wood environment, that is obviously designed for you to eat and get the hell out! Aka no lingering on those hard smallish metal chairs with spartan tables. What I wanted to hate, the novice clients in front trying to figure out how to put together a meal and taking forever. It is very confusing at first but it you follow the signs starting from the right then moving left (opposite of Chi-poodles) But the staff was so patient, helpful, offered tips and ideas to compliment their choices all with enthusiastic smiles and professionalism. And as the line started getting backed up, more staff stepped in to deal with the peeps who had that dazed and confused look. (There are a few dispensaries nearby) The choices are your garden variety of proteins dressing toppings etc. but they also offer scallops and shrimp as a non protein along with octopus salad! There is a bright orange topping and it's not roe. It's actually ground up Cheetos! I'm sure someone who frequents the nearby dispensaries asked for this menu item. "Yeah duuude! Munchie abatement! I totally get that one!" Said like surfer dude rocked out on chronic. Fountain drinks and bottled ones along with Ice cream macaroons also available. It's clean as the day it opened inside. Delightfully patient Staff, fresh ingredients and a plethora of combinations. Perfect for lunch or dinner. Got mine to go back to hotel. It was DLish!

PokeCity Glendale! Thank GOD you open your doors aka another Brick and Mortar "nearer" to me! I went here with my friend on a Thursday at least before the Lunch hour rush! Time was 11:55hrs ish. Both my friend and I managed to get one of the seating / table with high yellow stools! A little inconvenient but we are here for Poke. Since my friend has not been to this location, we decide to have Lunch here. Furthermore, we are in this neighborhood running some errands too. I purchased the CYOB aka Create Your Own Bowl - LARGE Bowl ($13.95) with all the fixings I like. If I could recall correctly for the proteins I opt for are : * Shrimp * Octopus * Scallop * Tuna The Base I choose is White Rice. The Mix-Ins are Masago and Green Onions with Spicy Aioli. The Add ons are Squid Salad with toppings such as Mango, Cucumber, Tempura Flakes and Fried Onions. My lunch also include a small bowl of Miso Soup which is complimentary. I think my friend opt for the small bowl. All in all we enjoyed our Lunch here. POKECITY GLENDALE 1128 S Colorado Blvd Denver, CO 80246 Tel : (303)-954-0005

Tried this Poke City twice and not a fan. First visit was 6 months ago. Bummed that the white rice has vinegar on it (tasted like sushi rice) which didn't tickle my fancy. Just came back last week and got brown rice instead with my bowl. The rice was wet and made the whole bowl taste soggy and not fresh. Meh, the spicy ahi was the minced almost fish food type food, not chuncks of ahi. Major disappointment.

Very tasty Poke in Denver. The setup is much like Chipotle or Pizzeria Locale where you stand in line and choose a bowl size (small, medium or large depending on preferred scoops of protein) and then choose a variety of sauces and toppings (avocado is only extra item for $2) to create your Poke masterpiece. You can then choose a drink and ice cream if you want something sweet to end your meal with. The fish is very fresh (I have tried the tuna, spicy tuna, scallops and shrimp- different times though!) and everything is high high quality. Even on a Sunday afternoon the restaurant was busy. Free fountain drink with Yelp Check-In. Score! Friendly employees and clean and bright atmosphere mean I'll be coming back (or to the one in South Denver closer to my office) often. As PokeCity shares a lot with several other restaurants and businesses parking was not a problem.

We were in the neighborhood and really wanted poke so we swung in. Easy to follow menu -- lots of options!!! Linec was fairly long and slow moving but again, it was a Saturday evening so no biggie. The initial employee was a bit overwhelmed to say the least. Wife and I ordered two bowls and we also ordered two kid bowls for the kiddos. They're both really young so we got them chicken...? The cubed chicken breast came out of water. Weird. It was super dry and lacked flavor. Both my three year old and 17 month old spit the chicken out on their first bite. Our kids are really good eaters so that's saying something. Eventually with some creativity and mixing, they did finish their dinner. Other poke places definitely do they're chicken dishes way better. The adult bowls were really good though. You can pack in a bunch of options. I went the spicy route with the spicy sesame, jalapenos, and flaming hot Cheetos...fiyah!!!! Adult bowls also come with a cup of miso soup. That don't suck.

This place is the new wave of fast casual! I love poke bowls, and this one did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, they make the process easy for you, and the prices are good. The board explains everything to you & walks you through the process. They use fresh & delicious ingredients! I must say, my salmon poke bowl was a hit! I'll be back!

Really like their ingredients. It's like chirashi in a bowl but with more toppings. If you get a large bowl you can actually get 2-3 meals out of it. I got one for lunch and ate it for dinner as well as a late-night snack. The menu is a bit like Chipotle where you pick out the stuff you want in each step. But even after going twice I still needed the staff to guide me through it. If it's your first time be sure to ask how to make a bowl and it will make things so much easier.

Second time coming here within the past month. Once again...was not disappointed~~ had the large and shared with a friend. 2 scoops and salmon and 2 scoops of spicy tuna with a whole bunch of sides. Super good, satisfying, hit the spot!!! If you want poke, this is where to go~~ The worker taking the order is very friendly and helpful. I will be coming back here often!! :)

Recently moved to this side of Denver and found this place! The atmosphere is great, they have phone chargers if you need one lol. I got a small bowl which is a base with 2 scoops of proteins. I got spicy tuna and salmon. Both tasted fresh. I love that the crab salad wasn't extra because some poke places charge extra for that. I did however get the extra avocado for $2. It's expensive, but worth it. The small bowls about $10 if you don't get the extras :) Staff was friendly and welcoming. If you've never had poke think of it as a chipotle line where you pick what's in your bowl. If you don't know what you want you should probably take a look at the menu so you don't hold up the line! Overall great place, pretty decent prices. Definitely will return!

My new go to poke place in Denver - without question. Be sure to sign up for the rewards. The staff are helpful, patient with questions (menu and options can be a lot for your first visit) and genuinely seem to enjoy being there. Every time I've gone it's been the same two or three guys, which makes it feel even more homey and welcoming. Never eaten there, but it's VERY comfy with the turf floor, warm lighting and comfortable seating. Every bowl comes with a side of miso soup. The toppings/additions to the bowls are essentially unlimited - which is awesome. You definItely get more than enough food no matter the size of bowl you get (I recommend medium). The spicy aoli with the house sauce is bomb. Fish always tastes great, is fresh and is stored properly inside the store. Will continue to eat here and have been and will continue to recommend to everyone!

Delicious food! I love how you can get a salad base instead of rice because it really lightens the dish. So many toppings to choose from and all of them are fresh and great quality. Great place to go when you have a sushi craving but don't want to spend all that money! This is a Chipotle-esque in ordering style which allows you to choose exactly what you want in your bowl. My mom, who is a newbie when it comes to poke bowls, was graciously helped by the employee behind the counter. He gave her great recommendations and she was very satisfied with the end result. We will for sure be coming here again!

Love this place! I always get a medium bowl and it always fills me up (and I'm a big eater)! You also get a miso soup with every order that is delicious. The restaurant is always neat/clean (we eat here a lot) and the Poke ingredients are always fresh! When you're done eating you can go a couple of doors down to Mango Mango for dessert!

When you open that glass door, you step into another world...literally. There is fake grass as the floor. I've never been to any restaurant that has squishy floor but it makes it very memorable. All of the reviews describe this place as the Poke Chipotle and I understand completely. You get your bowl of brown, white, or salad base and then go crazy. I got a small but I got a huge helping of toppings. They separate the protein and sauce from the bowl first then mix it in at the end. They have a wonderful selection of veggies, proteins, and other delightfully amazing toppings to make your poke bowl (italicized) your poke bowl. I got mango in my poke bowl just because. It tasted a little odd with my super savory poke bowl but it was my choice even if I kind of regretted it oh well. Each comes with miso soup so yay soup. I'm still living the struggling adulting life so having a generous amount of food for a good low price makes me happy. I'm happy to come back again!!

I could eat there every day. Wish I lived in Denver. My wife and I had two wildly different bowls and both were amazing! We switched halfway through.

I was extremely excited about Denver poke. Big time excitement. So much so, that PokeCity was our first stop after we left the airport. Cute interior, friendly staff and very clear menu instructions - they let me know that I could choose 2 different sauces (woo!) and the guy even made a suggestion on which two he liked paired together (the house sauce and spicy mayo sauce, for the win). I went with his suggestion, and it was delicious, so they know what's up. Fish was super fresh, rice was perfect, and all the ingredients went well together - I had a small bowl with regular tuna and spicy tuna, and a plethora of toppings. That crab salad and seaweed salad were bomb.com, man. So goooooooood. They give you free miso soup with every order - your standard miso soup, it was tasty! Mine had ample tofu and nori in it, so that was win. We would definitely return if we find ourselves back in Denver!

The atmosphere of this place is sooo nice and staffs are super kind!! Ordered medium bowl with spicy tuna and carb meat with bunch of my favorites! Love the wasabi sauce!! So good

I haven't had poke in a while, so I made sure to stop by PokeCity while I was in Denver. They use small scoops to scoop the protein, and the cuts of fish are quite large. However, they make sure that the scoop size doesn't effect that amount of protein that you get, so they'll scoop multiple times to get you the right amount. I got my poke bowl with white rice and furikake, although there is also brown rice and mixed greens. I got a small bowl, so I had the choice of two protein, and I got the the tuna and salmon. For my toppings and sauce, I got the house sauce, seaweed salad, hijiki, crab salad, edamame, roe, and tempura crisps, and green onions. The bowl comes with a side of miso soup, although don't expect too much tofu or seaweed. Overall, I really enjoyed my poke bowl, since I love raw fish, but I did find it a bit salty. I'm not sure if the saltiness, came from the seaweed salad or the house sauce, but I definitely could not finish it without grabbing a cup of water.
