“Amazing poke bowl!! So so good! I’ve been going here for a little over a year. They have a lot of options, they’re super quick and clean!! The poke bowls taste fresh and delicious, I order brown rice with the salmon and they give good portions for a good price!Dietary restrictions: They offer variations of every product and it is build your own.“
“If you are looking for place with good vibe and great food, check this one out! Poke bowl & acaii bowl both are fresh, very fulfilling, taste ????? lots of options and worth every pennyService was very quick yet everything is always put beautifully on my plate. I’ve tried dine in, take out, delivery, everytime piki poke always hit it!I’ve seen family with kids, fdny, gym people and senior here. No doubt about their freshness and qualityStaffs are very friendly and very attentive.This place is probably the most underrated in Astoria. Definitely a hidden gem“
“pre-made poke was much better as bowl is wider than custom pick 3, which is narrow bowl.As others suggested, with such bowl, all the sauces remain on top and you end up eating rice on tbe bottom without the sauce. ?Bubble tea is so so, don't have hugh expectations as this is not a Boba place.Vegetarian options: tofu“
“Freshest poke bowl around!! We went here for the first time after hearing great things and loved it. The fish and toppings were extremely fresh, more than most places we’ve been to in the area. We ordered the Salmon Lover bowl and made our own both were great! Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.“
“Was nearby the other day and decided to check this place out for dinner, and I'm glad I did! There are plenty of seats inside with a well lit and clean interior. You grab a menu and marker at the entrance, mark what you want, and hand it to the person at the counter. The food will be ready almost immediately. I got the ray grilled salmon bowl - it was delicious. Definitely a fast and easy casual dine-in experience. There's also a restroom for customers only, and you'll need their key. Overall would recommend!“
“Hawaii Poke impressed me with its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Their variety of toppings allows for unique combinations, and the service has always been fast and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality and originality in their dishes!Dietary restrictions: I can always customize my dish to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which is crucial for me. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly. I'll definitely be back!“
“Great spot for lunch during work - had a long line when I went but it moved really fast! Lots of options to choose from and food was very fresh. They give you good portions and can get busy during lunch hour, so keep that in mind. Was really cute inside as well and the workers were friendly.“
“I frequent this establishment at least once a week. The food is fresh and great tasting. I customize my choices all the time and everyone is very pleasant. You definitely won’t be hungry afterwards it’s very fulfilling.Vegetarian options: There’s one bowl that’s vegan or you customize your own bowl. Plenty of options“
“As a lover of Hawaiian cuisine and a native Samoan, I am always on the lookout for authentic flavors that remind me of the islands especially in this season of harsh winter weather. Ui’i Shrimp is a delightful find that does just that. I ordered the combo, spicy shrimp and traditional Hawaiian poke, and spam musubi. Everything tasted great! The owner was very hospitable and attentive, truly in line with the spirit of Aloha. Whether you are a native of the Pacific Islands or someone who appreciates good food, Ui’i Shrimp Restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“
“These bowls are so amazing! When I first moved to New York I was looking for healthy and affordable food options and this quickly became my go-to. The teriyaki salmon is my favorite protein but to be honest everything has a very good taste. The only thing I don't like is that it really isn't my favorite place to sit down and eat.“
“Had a very good bowl at this spot today. I was walking around and dropped in. I ordered the large bowl and added two scoops. For protein I had the spicy shrimp, spicy crab, ahi, salmon and spicy pork ( which was great). Good options for veggies and sauces. Definitely worth a shot if you need something good to go.“
“The food was great, but not for the price of nearly 20 dollars for a small poke bowl. I could make this at home and still have enough money to feed a village with this price… I think that it was also discomforting to have clear glass walls looking in at either Herald Sq. or the Urban Outfitters this restaurant is annexed to. Though the design is pretty, it’s not very practical to have to stare at pedestrians and clothing shoppers while trying to enjoy my food. Regardless pretty good.“
“Friendly staff (none of the NY "snark"), insanely-good food (the BBQ Pork is to die for), and a nice clear quiet place to eat it if you want. My wife and I will be going back for sure!Vegetarian options: Most of the options are vegetarian. But carnivores need not fret - lots of good choices for us as well.Dietary restrictions: Lots of control over exactly what ends up in the bowl. My wife is vegetarian and gluten free and sensitive to many foods. Had no trouble making it all work.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a sidewalk-level entrance with not ramp or stairs.“
“Just had a day trip to New Jersey with family last weekend. Glad to know there are plenty of decent restaurants and cafés along the Pallisade Avenue in Englewood. Poke Crew is very clean and bright. I got my bowls very quickly and they looked all colorful. You can build your own bowls if the menu doesnt not fit your flavors. Highly recommended for those pursuing efficiency and tasty meals.＊Double Dragon w/ LettuceThe sauce of Double Dragon was quite spicy but it matched well with tuna and salmon, yet I would prefer a lighter sauce like wasabi or almond sauce in order to taste the freshness or fish and veggies.＊ Crab Salad w/ Kale Noodles＊ Tofu Avocado w/ Kale NoodlesKale noodles were amazing - no carbs option for those who are on keto diet. Mixing the crabmeat, fishroes and kale noodles hit the spot tremendously well. Will definitely reorder this if I visit Poke Crew again.My Recommendations:Crab Salad w/ Kale NoodlesWorth Returning? Yes“
