I have been a fan of Pobu since they opened in 2016-17(?). I would go there frequently and always felt like the food was great for the price. I no longer live in the new castle area, so naturally while up here I wanted to have Pobu for dinner. The value for the food has significantly decreased since my last time here (little over 2 years ago). This was not a burrito, more like a small snack wrap, except it was $14. I understand the need to raise prices, but to change the quality and amount of food you get is the worst thing they could’ve done. I honestly felt disgusting and ran over after spending almost $40 for what we received. And then, being told I’d need to spend additional money to get a tiny cup of sauce (which used to be free). If the burritos were larger, I would’ve been more than happy to buy sauce. Unfortunately I will never be back, and this used to be my favorite spot in Newark.

Pobu NEEDS more business, it is the best food on Main Street by far!! It is a mystery why it’s empty every time I go, please go and tell your friends, it’s the best!

The holy crab burrito is really good, it resonate more towards kimbap lol. But I rate the food itself as 4 star because the price relative to quantity/portion wasn’t justifiable in my opinion.

Pobu has absolutely the best poke bowl I’ve ever had in my entire life. I always get the Chirashi bowl and it is always so delicious and fresh. I would highly recommend it!

Sheeeesshhh talk about delicious!! I have always wanted to try a sushi burrito and somehow have not come across a place that offers them.
While on a road trip, I found Pobu and am so glad we stopped!! Not only was the burrito sssooo good, but the owner was SO kind and funny. She made our day.
My husband's poke bowl was also top notch.
No question: get in here and prepare for your taste buds to be very happy.

I’ve never written a review before but I absolutely love Pobu! It’s one of my favorite spots in Newark. The food is always delicious, the ingredients always look and taste fresh, and the lady behind the counter is always very sweet. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes poke. Me and my fiancé love the Tokyo Moe’s burrito and the Harujuku bowl :)

i’ve ordered food from here 5 times and it has been canceled all 5 times. there is no saying if they’re closed or not so they need to either change their website, take themself off of food ordering apps or actually give me a reason for why they cannot complete my order
Incredible food and service!! Great vibes and incredibly kind owner. If you don't go, you're truly missing out on a gem.

This place allows you to put on any number of fillings into your seaweed burrito, making it a really large meal (that could be two meals) with a lot of healthy ingredients if you pick many of them. Very tasty too. The lady working there was very nice and friendly and engaged in conversation, she let us customize our orders and even gave us ceramic plates after we tried to decline the disposable plates for environmental reasons and said we would just eat it out of the wrapping paper.

Hidden gem of Newark and longtime favorite spot. Went in the other day and the owner recognized me after probably a year since my last time visiting when I was back in town. Sweet woman with the best sushi burrito on the east coast. Have no clue why there aren’t Pobu’s on every corner.
