Visited on my 30min lunch break from work, took awhile for the food 20min so I barely had time to eat. Also when the cashier was handing me my food, she got my attention by saying “hey your food is ready” and i immediately got up to grab it and as I was grabbing it she said “you’re a lazy one aren’t you?” Also online the chicken karrage comes w yum yum sauce and she gave my ponzu and argued about it when I asked for yum yum. Food okay, boba yummy, service weird

I love the Poki DC in downtown. I went to this location expecting the same quality. While the food was good, there were less ingredients available and the portions were less generous, way smaller. It was a huge letdown compared to the location in Downtown DC.

As a native who loves his fish… terrible, very amateur cuts. I paid 27.00 + tip for what? Stingy portions (their serving reminds me of boot camp servings), lackluster taste, and just overall atrocious mediocrity in every bite. I’ve been to HUNDREDS of Poke places but this has to be the worse of them all.
Atmosphere looks so depressing and outdated inside. Go to ANY Poke place but here.
Staff is okay but lacks liveliness.
You can easily pickup cheapskate vibes.
Just….. no.

Overpriced, food doesn’t really match what was shown to me.
Korean spot in Montgomery mall is better and cheaper

Found HAIR in the middle of my bowl immediately after recieving order. Tuna and Salmon were incredibly off looking… I Accidentally ordered from the wrong location and was nervous of the food because of the reviews and unfortunately they are accurate.

The food is fine, but don’t order extra for food that looks like that is about to go bad. I paid extra for avocado and my meal was 20.99 for this which is expensive and I’m fine with that but paying for something extra and you can’t even eat it because it looks like it’s about to be bad is not it for me.

The employee seemed to be on something... She was unable to retain information about my order, and needed each step repeated multiple times. No one else was in the store also my food had LONG BLACK HAIR in it (I have purple hair so not mine!). The store was also very dim despite being lunchtime. First visit the food was meh. Second visit HAIR?! Definitely will not be back. Food safety does not seem to be a concern here.

Quality food and quick service! Excellent lunch spot. I've ordered here many times and I've never been disappointed.

A co-worker recommended this place since he had eaten here several times prior. When I went up to order I had no idea what to get. The staff was no help and just stood there looking at me like I had three heads. So I just took a stab and ordered sushi rice with radish (just regular radish, not Asian radish), salmon (raw) shrimp (cooked) seaweed salad and kimchi. Protein was minimal but the salmon was good. Rice had hard spits in it which tells me it had been sitting for a spell. Kinda scary since all the articles on eating rice that’s been left out too long. The kimchi was good and fresh and was the best part. I wish they had recommended some things though because the flavors did not mesh with each other. Probably will not be going back anytime soon.
Favorite Poke and bubble tea place in the neighborhood. Been going for years. Recommend!

The food was meh. The older Hispanic woman making the bowl was not friendly. And the toppings were so scarce. How much does onion cost? And canned flavorless corn? Kimchi? For the cost of this bowl, you’d think it could come with more than 3 tiny slivers of kimchi. And don’t bother asking what one of the salads are. This woman was so impatient and just told me to read the labels, which of course, still don’t tell me what hijiki seaweed is… forget about the sauces! I’ll stick to my usual poke place…

Poki DC is a delightful spot for fresh and customizable poke bowls. The ingredients are always fresh, and the variety of toppings, sauces, and proteins allows you to build the perfect bowl to suit your taste. Their portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring quick service even during busy hours. The interior is modern and clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere for dining in. While parking can be a bit tricky in the area, the quality of food makes it worth the effort. Poki DC is an excellent choice for a healthy, flavorful meal, whether you're grabbing lunch or looking for a quick dinner option.
I love this place.

My poke bowl was delicious. I came at a very dead time, but they have a stage for small events. Seems like a cozy, chill place to eat with friends.
