We had poke bowls in Rio yesterday, Pokidc surprised me with the best poke in gaithersburg, their poke bowls were super fresh, packed with flavor, and just so satisfying. Whether you go for the classics like tuna and salmon or mix it up with your own custom bowl, you really can’t go wrong. Their homemade sauce was so delicious, my bowl with yum yum & eel sauce was perfect, We also tried their pop-up :Korean fired chicken bowl and tornado potato, they’re soooooo good!
Oh…we loved their Valentine’s Day treats too! They’re giving out heart-shaped message cards and the cutest little love stickers—such a heartwarming touch! My bae wrote me a sweet message and me too, we hang it on the massage boards, and will definitely come back to check it out for sure.
BTW, The staffs were so sweet and polite, making you feel totally welcome. It’s my go-to spot, and I highly recommend it!
We had a great experience recently and just wanna to share. If you’re looking for a meal that’s both delicious and therapeutic, PokiDC Rio is the place to be! First, let’s talk about the Poki bowl—it’s absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients, generous portions and the flavors blended perfectly. I loved the variety of toppings and sauces available—it made my bowl feel truly customizable.
But what really stole our heart (besides the amazing food) was the Good Vibes Message Tree. While waiting for our bowls, We got to read some hilariously wise and heartwarming notes from previous customers. Nothing like a side of inspiration with your meal! My two sweeties enjoyed their lunch and the message corner( great to occupy the kids when you wanna to enjoy your bowl) they spent time to write and draw something, they even made their own comment and hang on the message tree.
Highly recommend ! We’ll definitely be back! Great food, good and fast service, pleasurable atmosphere.
The Korean corn dog tasted so good! It’s crispy on the outside, perfectly cheesy inside, super match with the yum yum and spicy mayonnaise sauce, it’s definitely one of the best I’ve had!
The message board is such a cool and unique touch! Those creations were so cute and dramatic!
Poke bowl was very good. Salmon and tuna tasted fresh and the sauce was very good
My friends and I came here and made individual purchases. After we finished our meal and left, my Chinese-speaking friend told us that the old Asian women who worked there were mocking us and criticizing one of my friends for ordering too many toppings (keep in mind, she ordered a bowl, and you are allowed to have as many toppings as you like, but she only got five out of all the options). really poor customer service I never imagined this would happen, particularly in America, a multilingual nation. Did they really believe they could insult their clients and that no one would speak their language?
Ps,
We weren’t loud, we weren’t mean to them, we even left good tips I don’t understand why they were criticizing us 🤷♀️ but what can you do? Some people are just sad with their own life so they have fun criticizing others.
I recently visited Poki DC Rio and had an amazing experience! The restaurant offers delicious poke bowls with a wide variety of toppings and protein options. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can tell they use high-quality fish and produce. The staff was friendly, and the service was great, making it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or dinner.
I definitely recommend Poki DC Rio for anyone craving a healthy and tasty meal – I'll definitely be back!

Poke is good but do not get their curry! It is mostly rice and not even enough curry to eat with it. They also put arugula and pineapple which makes already too sweet curry even sweater?For $17, please make it better and worth the money or stop serving it

My first experience with a Poke. Was delighted. Only wish the hot sauce had no sugar in it, being a diabetic. Small seating area, and may need to consider a take out instead of a dine in.

I would say much like other similar create your bowl establishments (chipotle, cava, bibibop, etc), there are endless possibilities in how to customize your bowl whichever way you want and try new combinations each time. The things I liked more about this place in comparison was the healthiness and freshness of the ingredients.
However, it seems like this place only let's you get 5 toppings whereas the other places don't seem to have a limit. They also seem to skimp on the toppings a bit more than the others as well. This place costs noticeably more than the others and perhaps it should. But I would be happier to pay the extra price if they were equally as generous with the toppings as the other places.

Spicy tuna looked like cat food. Fish not that fresh, rice bland and not exciting. Portions small. This is a big miss from what Poki should be!
