Poke - Raleigh

A lot of options. Good price. Super clean restaurant. Excellent food.

Food was great and service was exceptional! When I told Alex that I had been looking forward to poke for months while I was pregnant he made suggestions for what I would like and since it was my first visit here he included a free drink and mochi. He really went above and beyond to create a good experience. Thank you

This place is an Asian version of Chipotle. With a very modern decor, the staff was very helpful in explaining how things work here. I made myself a veggie bowl and the toppings along with the sauces were simply great. I loved the wasabi shoyku , sweet chilli sauce and chipotle mayo. The toppings were great and added a nice crunch to the overall bowl. Yelp check-in gave me a free Miso soup which made the meal complete. A new concept in a great location. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Asian food and flavors

Came here after a midwife appointment and had lunch with my baby boy. I love how simple it is to order and how fresh the selection is. Being Hawaiian, we love a good poke bowl and this did not disappoint to be right in the middle of the busy campus area. I enjoy the ordering set up and the friendliness of the workers. The different sauce toppings are yummy and the portions are plenty. Worth a try if you’re in the area and enjoy poke!

Poke is still a new food concept for most North Carolinians. A poke bowl is raw fish over rice. Many reviewers refer to it as Asian or Japanese food and, yes, it does seem like a new spin on sushi as many of the ingredients are the same, but I learned it's actually a Hawaiian cuisine. I guess the food here at Poke Bar is like a sushi and poke mash-up. They have an easy to understand menu online. The food is very very flavorful. You choose your type of rice, proteins, mix ins (they have green onion, cucumber, kale, etc), sauce (this is what really packs the flavor), sides (crab, seaweed, cucumber salad), and finally toppings (such as masago, avocado, crispy onions, etc). I wouldn't recommend getting the slice of avocado though... it costs extra and, in my opinion, is too small for the price. How many of each you get depends on the size you purchase. It's all just loose together in a plastic bowl. Sometimes the workers will automatically mix everything together, other times they've asked first. Parking here is terrible. The location is directly on busy Hillsborough St across from NCSU's campus. Most of their customers are probably NCSU students and staff that walk over. Depending on the time of day and if it's a weekday vs weekend you may have to pay-to-park. The lot next door is for the Wells Fargo Bank. You'll be lucky to find a parallel spot open on the street. I do dislike how wasteful their process seems to be. For mixing your food they use a paperboard bowl that they'll throw away after dumping the food into a plastic container that you will eat out of and probably throw away. So not the most environmentally-friendly.
