My go-to poke whenever I go to Pierpont Commons! I usually get spicy salmon, tempura, and beef with all toppings with spicy mayo and ponzu sauce. It’s the best combination ever!

Friendly but unprofessional staff. I was told they only had spicy tuna for protein after they filled the bowl with rice.

This doesn’t seem like a public business. There is no sign, no parking, and after driving there 20 minutes and circling 3 times it’s clear that this is only for students and not the public. If it is, they really need better signs or directions.Really Wanted fresh poke. In town only to visit my significant other in the hospital so every moment lost is important to me.

The sashimi is not fresh… got vomiting and diarrhea after I had the bowl every time

Staff was friendly greeting and smiled. Made my meal quickly and accurately with fresh one. Store is overall clean. Delicious and healthy ????Will be back again for sure!

It's very good for what you're getting. For about 11 bucks, you can get 4 proteins and whatever toppings you want. The regular tuna and salmon don't really have a lot of flavor, but the seasoned ones are good. They are very obviously frozen but they have never tasted fishy and are pretty consistently very tender. The scallops have too much of a bad fishy taste, but the shrimp is always pretty good. The tempura shrimp isn't light like tempura should be, the batter is very heavy, but the shrimp itself is very nice. The grilled salmon normally has a nice crust but is also normally overcooked. Don't bother with the beef and chicken. They're not very good and you wanted beef and chicken, just go to panda right next door. The toppings are fantastic, you can get corn salad, seaweed salad, crispy garlic, avacado, and pickled ginger for no extra cost. The portion sizes are generous, and the food is very alright. Not amazing, but not bad. However I'm certain that you won't find better quality poke for 11 bucks.

Solid bowls. The sashimi is not great, and they give out small portions of protein and huge portions of rice. They don't always have the hot proteins ready. The price is justifiable, but it would have been nice if they were a bit more generous. I usually get tuna. I can hands down say fresh tuna from Costco is way better.

This place has good food and I'd recommend it but they do NOT!! Open at 10:30 the gates don't usually open until 11 so don't plan on grabbing food right after class gets out lol

Really good poke bowls! I usually go for the tempura shrimp, spicy yuzu salmon, and the sriracha tuna. Prices are a bit higher than the rest of the food at Pierpont, but it's still the best food there.
It's okay, their food could be better. I probably won't go back.

I was excited when I heard about this poke place because I never tried Poke before. So after studying for hours, I decided to treat myself with something good. However, I was instantly disappoint how most of the ingredients ran out. There was only shrimp and the sriracha tuna for the protein and ran out of avocado and seaweed salad. Its decent, but I couldn't get everything I want. So I decided to come right when it open, and what do you know, there's no avocado and shrimp tempura. So in the end of the year, I never had the chance to get my ideal poke bowl from here. The food is decent, but they have terrible management over the ingredients, which are mostly frozen.

This is pretty decent. You get a 10th bowl free if you keep that little card and get a stamp every time. The amount of rice you get kind of varies. There isn't always avocado. When there is, it does not cost extra which is great. The bubble tea/milk tea is also OK. The rice oftentimes stick to the paper bowl, you might eat some of the paper. This is kind of bad, but I don't think it has serious negative effects on my health.

The service has declined and so have the good. One of the workers that I hate is Jaleh or whatever her name is. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL. She never gets the order correct, gives me the wrong thing and GOD FORBID if I were to correct her because when it comes time scooping the food into my bowl I get very little of the portion. On top of that, they never have seaweed or avocado anymore. Please be more efficient with this. This is pathetic and I used to love coming here. The old ladies that work here in the morning are amazing and actually care about the job. I'm beyond disappointed.
It’s okay if you’re desperately
