Red Poke Express

I always order from this place on Doordash, and it has never dissapointed me!! My favorite item to order is the crazy burrito (i get it without mango) and it's actually my favorite food, I'm so obsessed. It fills me up perfectly without overstuffing me!! I usually sub the green sauce for spicy mayo and oh my god dipping the burrito in the spicy mayo is sooo good. If you're interested in trying poke or sushi burritos, I definitely recommend Red Poke Express <3 (the poke bowl in the photo has: white rice, scottish salmon & eel, corn, edamame, masago, eel sauce, avocado, fruikake, green onion, seaweed, sesame seeds, & tempura crisps!)

Hands down the best poke place around! Vicky and her family are always going the extra mile for stellar service. Their dedication to their craft speaks volumes and their kindness is unmatched. My vegan bowl is consistently out of this world and tastes so fresh!! It’s truly a gem :))

Happy to have tried this place. You fill out the form, pay and they make the bowl for you. This was a great spot compared to the last pokè place I had. I want to return to try different combinations but this was absolutely delicious and filling.

Best poke in town! Super fresh ingredients and generous sizes. Wild value. $12 for a quality, fully-custom poke bowl is an absolute steal. It's a bit cold to dine in comfortably during winter (as I found out today) but it's a lovely spot to casually munch and people-watch in the warmer months.

This place was so cute! My friend has been there many times and the owner knew his order the moment we walked in, which was so sweet. I ordered the Dragon Bowl with salmon instead of crab meat and I was not disappointed! You definitely get what you pay for and then some. The shop was also clean, well lit, and cozy. Highly recommend!!

Super fresh fish and for a great price. They don't skimp on the fish or toppings here which I love!

My favorite poke place in Philly 🥹🫶🏼 the owners are always so kind and courteous. The volcano bowl is my favorite and I order it every time. Worth checking out whenever you’re in headhouse !

The food is fresh and flavorful, with a diverse menu that caters to all tastes. The poke bowl I ordered was packed with fresh tuna, salmon, and avocado, and the portion was huge! They even used the REAL crab meat!! Despite the generous servings, prices are very reasonable, making it excellent value for money. Friendly staff and superb service complete the experience. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Clean simple establishment with forms to place an order. Service was quick, ingredients were fresh, and portions were generous. We opted not to get drinks but they do have a fridge stocked with Asian and US non alcohol beverages.

When I'm feeling like I need a poké bowl I come here. After Hawaii I always need a very long break before I go back to buying poke bowls because the mainland thinks bowl are mostly rice and toppings with hardly your raw fish you want, and in Hawaii, the rice is just an after thought if you need it. Poké is straight up containers of fish served up in various delicious styles and sauces, and you know the best is buying them at Foodland grocery store. These guys are pretty tasty and in the area they're my favorite go to. They got good sushi burritos too. And nice couple own it

Happy to have tried this place. You fill out the form, pay and they make the bowl for you. This was a great spot compared to the last pokè place I had. I want to return to try different combinations but this was absolutely delicious and filling.

For me, this is the best takeout poke place in the city. I don't order any of the specials -- I always do the "make your own bowl" (which you do by filling out one of the order sheets by the door) because I want what I want. And then they always give me what I want.

Great poke a step above many others in the area. The portions are consistently good. Sushi is fresh. Choices of mix-ins are on par with other restaurants (though I'd like to see broccoli, and other healthy greens as options where the seaweed and crab salad are listed). I ordered the choice of two proteins. The flavors are balanced, and the fish is fresh. There's a variety of dressings/sauces available. You get your choice of one, which includes clearly notated gluten-free options. I absolutely enjoyed the tuna and salmon. Looking forward to ordering again!

Thinking back to my recent Philly trip, I really enjoyed the poke from Red Poke Express. Good portion, fresh fish, lots of mix-ins to choose from. My only negative was how long we waited for our takeout (it's takeout only) and had to stand outside with little communication from the biz, but I think that's more of a no-contact decision than anything else. Over all, a solid poke spot I would return to!

Experience from an Uber driver. I pick up orders from here often and while I was told I need to wait a few minutes for the order I asked to use the bathroom and was denied as it's "for customers only". Mind you there's no one else in the establishment, and as an Uber driver, you're basically acting as a customer picking up the order, for their customer. Just simply human indecency.

Really good poke for the price! Everything is always fresh and big portion imo. The staff is always super kind as well!

I only got takeout, but I have found, in my opinion, the BEST poke that I have ever had!!!! I did a make your own bowl, with two proteins. The amount of toppings you can choose from is extremely generous, and the bowl is huge! It's also very well priced for the amount you get. Everything tasted really fresh. I used to live in Florida, where I thought it was the best, but these beat it! I have found my new go to poke place!

Missing Hawaii and was craving poke, so we decided to get some from Red Poke Express, since the reviews look promising. This was our first time ordering from Red Poke Express, and our expectations were adjusted, because mainland poke just isn't going to be as good. When we first saw the takeout container it looked small, but once we started digging in, we realized how big the portions actually were. Overall, Red Poke Express exceeded expectations. The raw fish was fresh and cut up in nice medium chunks. For the price, quality and portions, this was pretty great. This will be our choice spot for poke for now. The sauces were okay, but so is the sauce everywhere else.

This is my favorite poke spot. Been going for years and have never been disappointed. Fresh, clean, and accommodating.

Great portion. Love the "make your own" poke option. I opt for the 2 protein, which in my option is plenty with the brown rice base. There are a ton of mix-ins, sauce, toppings and crunch to choose from and they are generous with the amount that you pay for. It was filled to the max and enjoyed it nearby. Def will come back if In the area.

I went here on a whim yesterday and got the highly recommended rainbow bowl. It was quite tasty. The rice was cooked to perfection and the ratio of fish and other ingredients were very generous. It was well worth it after my work out. I would go there again!

Had the Rainbow Bowl and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fish tasted. At first, I underestimated the size of the bowl, but I was full afterwards. The pineapple though, gave it an interesting taste. Seemed out of place so next time, would order that on the side, if possible. Used Doordash as the delivery method, and it was an disorganized experience that caused an hour and a half of a delay.

If you love Poke come here!!! I got the build your own bowl and it was delicious. Everything was fresh, especially the tomatoes. The service was great, the restroom was clean and the location is nice as well! 10/10 recommend, I'll definitely be coming here sooner than later.

So happy to find a great poke place within walking distance! This is one of the better poke I've had. We built our own bowl with Scottish Salmon, white rice, edamame, seaweed salad, masago, mangoes (amazingly sweet), pickled ginger, radish, cucumber, red onions, and spicy mayo. Delicious, fresh and really filling. Also, the owner and her 10 year old daughter were super sweet. I'm going to be getting a lot of poke delivered home:)

Very fresh poke. I had build my own bowl with greens but don't expect much of it. I asked my miso dressing to be put on the side for my to go. I couldn't find it after I left the store. Either they forgot or it's mixed in. When you build your own, you check mark the ingredients that you want. You can double or triple it to meet your limits. The staff is really helpful in explaining the ingredient that you aren't familiar. Don't skip the seaweed. It's fresh and really good. Perfect complement to my poke. There are some seats available for dine in

We chose the build your own bowl option. Big eye tune and tofu for proteins. Mango, seaweed, edamame, red onion, cucumber in their classic sauce. Flavors of ginger, garlic and cilantro made the ingredients sing. What a great find. And all for the price of a Hamilton.

We were craving something healthy after a vacation spent eating heavier food, and Red Poke was exactly what we needed. Generous portion sizes, fresh and delicious fish, and a good selection of ingredients to make a custom bowl. I ordered online and my food was prepared quickly and when it was scheduled. We will definitely be returning!

I'm not a *huge* raw fish / seafood person but my fiance is so I agreed to try their Phoenix ( chicken) poke bowl, and am so glad I did! It tasted SO fresh. All of the ingredients complimented one another so well - (chicken,Cucumber,Red Onion,Edamame, mushroom,cilantro, classic shoyu sauce, green onion,sesame seeds on top of rice) Plus it was less than $10 and enough for 2 meals! I did ask for the spicy sauce and think I received the regular sauce, but am not positive on that since this was my first poke experience. My fiance built his own bowl with salmon, tuna, and various veggies and was equally impressed with his meal. We ordered delivery and it came on time with no issues! Can't wait to try more bowls from here!

Great quick lunch spot for poke bowls and burritos. The build your own is a great deal and was HUGE. I chose three proteins for $13 and the toppings were very generous. I thought the rice was a bit over seasoned/salty. Depending on the toppings I felt the salt in the rice was a little much. But overall, I loved this spot! PS it's a beautiful walk around this area. If you are staying at a hotel nearby this was such a nice area to take a lunch time stroll.

Love the little things here that make a good poke bow great! Similar concept to a competitor a few blocks west, I prefer Red Poke for no-fee extras like eel on offer as a protein choice, mango or pineapple among the usual veg toppings, and definitely the kani salad (as a topping, not your protein!)! ALL topping choices allow multiple selections so you can get a lot of interesting variety in one bowl. Love the peanuts + garlic crunch, personally. Also, going the extra mile when I was an hour delayed picking up my order due to a work meeting, they proactively offered to remake with fresh rice since it would have been cold. I would not have minded but really appreciated ensuring their product was at its best

Walking in the restaurant is SUPER clean. The server was very patient (thank you so much ) but there's so many options, I couldn't make up my mind. After much deliberation I finally decided I would get the ST Burrito (with no masago) I honestly was not expecting the burrito to be gigantic, i could barely eat half. The burrito was tasty (super messy to eat, but that could totally be my fault) I will visit again , I look forward to trying a poke bowl.

Been here multiple times and it does not disappoint. Very generous with all the toppings you choose. I always get a create you own poke bowl. Quick and filling meal.

We managed to check out Red Poke on its opening day. Spoiler: the food was great and the service friendly. Obviously, my expectations weren't at max given the short runway they faced, so I'll point out some gaps but believe they are all just a matter of time. We built our own bowl with 2 proteins. We also ordered a miso soup. First, it was pleasant to see yellow tail as an option for one of the proteins, as it is usually just standard tuna (which I like and ordered as well). We pilled on the extras like mix-ins, toppings, and crunch. Again, it was great to see some non-standard toppings (at least for the poke places I've explored). The bowl came filled to the top but was lightly on the sauce (which was immediately corrected with a small side provided by the staff). Billed at $9.75 the price was more than fair for the portion. The miso soup was good as well. However, the bowl was kind of small for $2.50. The Ginger Wasabi Shoyu sauce really took the bowl from good to great. Therefore, I clearly recommend you go with it! Service was on point in greeting us, explaining the menu, and making sure we had a seat. Making the bowl was a bit slow, especially considering the limited number of folks waiting at the time,however, I blame that on being new / opening day jiggers. Overall, I'm a fan. I should be back (when I make it to that part of town). I'll also encourage others to give them a taste!

I love this place. I've been eating poke here twice a month for 3 years! Generous portions, fast, and delicious. My favorite poke place in Philly.

the service is consistently good, the prices are a lower than many other pokebowl places in the city, and the bowls themselves are delicious. won my loyalty. i highly recommend trying the dragon bowl, it's my personal favorite.

I try and make a visit here when I am in the area. Family run hole in the wall place with fresh fish and customizable options. Its a bit overwhelming with the options and the resturant/take out place isnt really open to go inside. Hopefully, this change isnt permanent

You can DIY or order from one of the menu options. The small is more than enough food for me.

I came to Philly for a conference in pre-COVID times and was really craving poke. All the reviews led me to this place, and all the reviews did not disappoint. I asked the staff what the most popular bowl was, and they made it for me super quickly. I got back to my hotel room, and was so happy that I had decided on poke - and poke from Red Poke! It was fresh, flavorful, and filling. I had enough to last me for dinner the next night too!

We ordered poke bowls for delivery from Red Poke last night for the first time. The ordering platform we used (Uber Eats) required a selection of two proteins. I would have preferred to stick with just one but went with the big eye tuna and yellowtail. The bowl was large and the ingredients were fresh, but every so often something in the bowl had a mild chemically taste. I couldn't tell if it was the cucumbers or the onion crisps but I narrowed it down to those two things, which I'd probably avoid in the future. The cucumbers were sliced a little too thick for my liking, anyway. I'd just try other toppings next time. This wasn't my favorite poke spot but I'd be open to trying again in the future.

I wanted something different than our usual (Indian or Mexican) and this place is pretty close to us. My husband is all about volume of food, and on first glance he thought that this wasn't going to be enough food. He was surprised to find how full he got. We've ordered several times since. We often get the fire bowl - love the salmon, little bit of heat, sweet of the fruit and the crunch bits. It's such a satisfying meal!

If you want to be treated like an animal, this is the spot for it. They won't let you inside the restaurant at all. They have a 6 foot plastic stand in the doorway as if it's suppose to protect them. Yet allll of breeze Carrie's heavily inside. They don't mind taking your phone with BARE HANDS for payment though.

Yum! Been dying to try a poke' bowl and the taste did not disappoint! There's over a dozen pre designed bowls (including veggie) to choose from here, some with clever names of local neighborhoods. You can also grab a sheet at the front and completely create your own which is what I chose to do to keep it as healthy as possible. Since I'm vegan I decided to chose the organic tofu as my protein. It's served plain, not fried with no seasoning or breading in other words, perfect for those watching caloric intake. I must say I really appreciate tofu being offered as most poke' spots I've come across don't have a plan based protein. Other protein options include yellowtail, crabmeat (+$1), big eyed tuna, Scottish salmon, eel, shrimp and chicken, so definitely something for everyone. I went with seasonal mixed greens and nixed the rice in order to keep it light. On this initial visit I added cucumbers, red onion, edamame, carrot and pineapple from their list of over a dozen mix ins. I chose the spicy sesame shoyu which was the sauce option with the least amount of calories. After I asked the lovely girl behind the counter, she informed me it's mostly soy sauce based with a hint of sesame oil and a bit of Sriracha so no need to really worry about the oil too much. It was tasty and on the light side but still had nice flavor with just a hint of heat. I opted for the avocado which is $1 up-charge as a topping because well, avocado. Duh. The seaweed salad as a topping I felt was also a good choice to add some texture, wetness and flavor. For flare I chose the fried garlic bits. Holy yum! I highly recommend these! It added such a punch and crunch. Hey, I rhyme! The bowl I created was over $11, but I was just happy to keep it mostly healthful and fresh...and fast, which isn't always so simple to do. The only minor complaint I have would be my bowl wasn't as pretty as I would've liked. I say this not only because it wasn't as "Insta worthy" as I was anticipating, and how others seemed to be, but because a lot of the mix ins were at the bottom of the the bowl and the bowl was filled so much I couldn't properly blend. Not a huge deal. Next time I'll just ask for them to be placed side by side instead. This area definitely needed a "fast food" option beside Lorenzo's and Wawa and I'm happy it's a healthy one for a change!! Can't wait to return and keep creating my own unique combinations! I think the kiddos will enjoy it also because kids love anything 'make your own'. Kiosk meter parking. Lots of spots. There's also a lot under Abbots Square. (Entrance east of TD Bank).

Best Poke in Philly. Fast, fresh, tasty, and well portioned. Miso soup and Seaweed Salad were yummy. I usually order from Uber EATs but recently picked up in person when no couriers were nearby. #Support local businesses #Black Lives Matter

I am a huge fan of sushi so decided to give a try to a poke bowl and wow!! I picked the rainbow bowl and everything was fresh from the avocado, rice and meats ! I did ask for extra tuna cuz raw fish is life. I have difficult finding fresh tuna and this place nailed it! You can also build your own show in the picture below... As someone famous once said "I WILL BE BACK"

Popped in here for a quick takeaway bite the other weekend and was happy with how quick the order came out. I'm not very familiar with poke bowls but love sushi, so figured a deconstructed one could be tasty. And it definitely was! I opted for the one with shrimp, tuna, crab, mango, crunchies and spicy mayo and was pleasantly surprised at how large the portion was....a HEAPING pile of deliciously sticky white rice, topped with the fresh seafood, tons of "crunchy" bits and cucumber. The only thing I didn't like was the random addition of whole grape tomatoes - they just didn't fit at all with the dish so I ate around them. Since I got it to go, they put the spicy mayo on the side for me which was a nice touch, but it's highly recommended you really mix the whole thing up together for the full effect. Everything tasted great and I felt full, so I'd say it's worth the price, but at the end of the day I think I'd still much prefer actual sushi to a bowl.

First poke bowl experience!!!! And it was AMAZING!!! Make sure you go hungry because I couldn't even finish a build your own bowl let alone the miso soup. When I stopped in I was the only person in there so I got to make small talk...ask how you actually say poke it's "pohkay"..asked about some of the sauces etc. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all of my first timer questions. The restaurant was noticeably clean and glancing at all the ingredients you could tell they were all incredibly fresh. They suggest some styles of pre-made bowls and burritos then they give you the option of building your own with an awesome check off sheet. I created my own bowl: White rice Tuna and salmon Cucumber, mango, masago Spicy mayo and miso glaze Avocado, green onion, Kani salad and seaweed salad, sesame seeds and tempura crunchies They give you a gigantic portion of everything you pick out and don't skimp on anything. I love that they make it right in front of you. They seriously went beyond my expectations in every aspect..so glad I live so close because I seriously might be here once a week! My total for a two protein bowl and a miso soup was almost $13....seriously? Where do you come up with that pricing? I couldn't even finish it and you pay $13 for only one fancy sushi roll anywhere else... INSANE! Pro tip they're offering 10% off until June 30th.

Pro: Great food in a great neighborhood! I stumbled on this restaurant after a visit to the Farmers Market. Having visited Hawaii before, I was curious to see if this Society Hill establishment could capture some "Aloha spirit" in their creations... News Flash: They did! The Volcano Bowl is my favorite menu item thus far. As the jalapenos stood poised to kick-start your taste buds, the cucumber balanced out the spice in cool and refreshing fashion. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Bowl's use of pineapple the contrast the fish and ginger made the bowl light and fulfilling. Con: It's a slightly small dining area, not the best for big groups. Bottom Line: My new favorite for raw fish in Philly! I want more!

My first Poke experience. As I am accustomed to eating raw fish from both Korean and Japanese cuisine, I had no trouble with Poke. Various choice of sauce was interesting, although I would have enjoyed it more if the sauce was less powerful. To me it was a little bit overpowering fish. I will come back this place as I am on a never ending diet.

Well it's a nice place but of course it had to be something "south street" about it. Of all the Poke places I've been to this past year (we are on a Poke kick) they have a system where you can write the order down. Rather than take the order as you tell them. I'm just guessing but it's probably for accuracy, but here is the kicker... They can charge for whatever they want! Especially when you have to "modify" the meal to your liking. The more boxes you check the higher the price. Most places aren't like that but hey the food was really good. I'm giving them 3 stars for a few reasons: 1.the portion size was tiny in comparison to say Pokeono in Ardmore 2. The staff has no idea what is going on if that lady at the courter doesn't tell them, and it holds up the line 3. They charge for everything and that 10% discount was bunk! I'll go back but I will surely be in that area instead of going out of my way for such a bizarre dining experience. Better luck next time guys!

Great spot to grab a quick bite for lunch. I love the customizable menu. The options are ample but not overwhelming. Fish is fresh and very tasty! Portions are generous and they'll keep you happy for the entire day!

We've been ordering a lot of takeaway from Red Poke since the pandemic and the food is always fresh and flavorful. Poke bowls are always delicious and the Crazy Burrito is amazing!

I've eaten at this place 3 times. Service was always good. Ambiance was sort of a grab and go store, but you could still eat in. 3rd time I ate here it was good, but unfortunately I got food poisoning only a day prior, so that speaks for itself.

A lot of the Yelp reviews of this place mention that the reviewers were poke virgins. Although this place is good, it doesn't hold a candle to better poke places I've been to. I wouldn't exactly call myself a poke master, but certainly a poke addict that has made it a point to try and find the best poke spots in New York City, Washington DC, and beyond. I have yet to find an amazing poke place in Philadelphia, and I was hoping that this would be it - but it certainly is not (the best in the area I've found thus far is in Ardmore, if you're curious). With that being said, Red Poke tries hard, but the piece size (very small) and portion (also small) of the fish you get is sort of disappointing. For the most part, the good flavor is there, but it is completely ruined by the fact that it appears that not all of the ingredients are fresh here (can't say I've ever experienced that at any of the poke places I've ever visited). I love to get something spicy (jalapenos) which is evened out by something sweet (fruit), and Red Poke has two common fruits that you'll find in bowls on the menu - mango and pineapple. Unfortunately, neither tasted fresh and were probably the canned variety. When I finished my bowl, there was a whole lot of fruit that I just left in there uneaten, because the fruit portions were excessive (more fish, less fruit!), and they just didn't taste great. Also unlike other Poke joints, you fill out a menu card when you order a custom bowl - checking off the ingredients that you want added. This I did think was a good addition, and it ensures that you know everything that you could add to your bowl, and that you get what you want. All in all, the food was okay, but I probably won't be back to Red Poke. My search will continue for a great Philly poke stop.

Perfect spot to get a great, quick meal. We had a busy couple days in Philly and I can't believe I actually ate here 3 times. The people who run this business are the nicest, and the ingredients are incredibly fresh and delicious. Can't say enough good things. There is also something for everyone here. Vegan, vegetarian, etc. So good.

This has been my go-to poke place for the past few months. Online orders have been quick and easy, which is a big help during COVID. Their portions have always been generous and ingredients have tasted consistently fresh and delicious. Definitely check this place out for poke in the Queen Village area!

Fresh ingredients and friendly service! I would have liked a little less rice and a little more ingredients for the price but overall it was delicious and a tummyful The rainbow burrito was off the hook. See what I did there? :)

WOW! I popped into Red Poke Express for a quick protein-heavy pre-concert dinner and could not have been more impressed! I did a Build Your Bowl with a mix 2 and decided on white rice, yellowtail, shrimp, mango, pineapple, cucumber, edamame, tomatoes, avocado, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, lemon, and tempura crisps topped with ponzu shoyu sauce. I clearly should be designing these bowls behind the scenes - because it was absolutely incredible. Everything was very fresh, the portion size was huge, and the price could not be beat for $9.75 ($1 extra for the avocado, because I'm worth it.) I was absolutely ravenous and I didn't even finish the thing. For a quick in and out place to have a decent amount of seating, and a customers-only bathroom available, I can't recommend it enough. I don't get into that corner of town so frequently these days, but look forward to going back again!
