About Blue Whale Poke Bar and Grill

Blue Whale Poke Bar and Grill offers a wide variety of menu items and an assortment of toppings for their poke bowls, which are generously filled and prepared quickly. The quality of the food is generally decent, with fresh raw fish that does not have a fishy taste. The menu was recently updated to include more Korean options, though the overall food quality remains mid, not bad but not particularly outstanding for the price. The fish tends to taste like any other poke fish and relies heavily on sauces to improve flavor, which could be better. The Korean options are also not much better. Service is friendly and helpful, though it depends on who is working, and the ambiance is casual since it is inside the mall. The restaurant is a solid choice for those seeking poke and Korean-inspired dishes, especially for those already at the mall, and is probably the healthiest option in the food court. Customers appreciate the generous portions, quick service, and the ability to customize bowls with bases like mixed greens and sushi rice along with various sides and proteins.
