"Sons of Thunder was among the first to debut ahead of the massive wave of the popular Hawaiian fish salad, and it’s a favorite for Eater critic Robert Sietsema. Its prime Murray Hill location means it’s crowded from open to close with, well, that quintessential Murray Hill dweller. The poke here is unfussy, with options like tobiko, seaweed salad, ahi tuna, and salmon. Other options include hot dogs like a Chicago-style dog with tomato, onion, pickle, and dill relish." - Jasmine Ting, Eater Staff

"There’s also a Sons of Thunder in FiDi, and you can get soft serve here as well. They only have vanilla, but if that’s your biggest problem at the moment, you need more problems." - Hannah Albertine, Emma, Bryan Kim, Katherine Lewin, Hillary Reinsberg

"At this point, there are a million poke places in NYC, but there aren’t too many that serve hot dogs, too. Sons of Thunder does, and they also have soft serve. But if you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for something healthier than a tube of meat on a bun. So get some poke over white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, or salad. There are a few different options, like tuna and octopus, and you can also get fish tacos or a salmon tostada." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

"At this point, there are a million poke places in NYC, but there aren’t too many that also serve hot dogs. Sons of Thunder does, and they also have soft serve. So if you want a cone of ice cream and banh mi hot dog, you can get that here. But you can also get a bowl of tuna, salmon, or octopus poké over some rice, greens, or cauliflower rice. This place is great for a weekday lunch or whenever you need something quick and relatively healthy, and there’s another location in Fidi." - Bryan Kim

"As a deluge of fast-casual poke shops have arrived in NYC over the past few years, it can be tricky to suss out a place slinging ultra-fresh fish amid a ton of total duds. Sons of Thunder is definitely the former. Try the yellowfin tuna option, with a generous portion of fish doused in a spicy dressing and served over greens and cauliflower rice. In addition to poke, hot dogs and milkshakes are somewhat unexpected options rounding out the menu; try the Chicago-style frank and super-thick chocolate shake. The minimalist space has a lovely skylit back room, and another location is slated to open in the Financial District." - Alexandra Ilyashov

Obsessed with this place. Great option for midtown lunch if you don't mind the usual wait. High quality and delicious healthy options in form of poke bowls accompanied by comfort food options including hot dogs and waffle fries. Friendly service. Also the best shakes I've ever had. Sons of Thunder never disappoints.

Strange name, but great poke bowls. They're beer options are also good, but the focus is really the Hawaiian/Japanese bowls. There are basic hot-dogs which are fairly priced and good for the kids, but other options (such as tacos) are not playing to their strength. There is a large, well-lit seating area at the back with a tiny children's book and toy space.

This place is close to my office and the UN, so the location is good. The place is not that big but clean, modern, and homey. Nicely arrange table, gives the feeling of a spacious room and it even has some books for kids. I like the rice bowls with salmon and ahi tuna over the brown rice and spicy sauce. The kids love the hotdogs and fries obviously, and the shakes. It can be crowded during lunch time but it's not that crazily packed

This is definitely my new favorite place! I’ve had dinner there a few times and it gets more and more delicious every time I go. The food doesn’t take super quick to prepare, but it’s because they take time to prepare a fresh meal for you. Love it!!!!

Holy cow! So good. Completely took me by surprise. The seaweed salad is delicious. I thought the tuna was just a bit better than the salmon, but they were both fantastic. Get the spicy sauce on the side.

Great poke! The salmon is fresh and somehow tastes a little more fatty than others which is the best part in my opinion. They don’t have different sauces but their own marinate is well fitted. The marinate sauce is a little inconsistent at times. Not a huge deal but it’d great if it’s more consistent.

this cosy poke place is worth to try and one of the best in town claimed by a local poke enthusiast. it better be because i walked across 5 avenues and 20 street blocks to get here. if you dont feel like having raw fish they have limited hot dogs and tacos servings and last but not least SOFT SERVE and SHAKES
