Poke Restaurants near Berkley, MI

“Update:
I can admit when I was wrong, I tried this place again and asked them not to mix the ingredients in the bowl. Results were fantastic. I ordered the volcano bowl with white rice, spicy tuna, salmon, and tuna chunks, add mango no carrots. Great but Spicy! I also tried all of the brand new items: delicious Korean Bulgogi bowl; sushi bombs in spicy tuna & tuna chunk (favorite bite - perfect size to satisfy sushi craving); chicken Caesar salad (straightforward and unexpectedly good); and lastly a green tea with new passionfruit boba pearls. Everything tasted so fresh, tried mango lemonade with strawberry Boba and this time was not too sweet. Plus the service was incredible. Shout out to Francis for being so generous.

I have been meaning to try this place and was finally convinced when I saw someone walk out with a fresh Boba tea.

We walk in, were greeted by the staff and I explained this was my first time there. They explained the premade bowls and process as being like chipotle where we pick a base, select protein/ mix-in’s, and then toppings- except 1 key detail. I ordered 2 regular bowls - a volcano bowl and a custom tuna. I chose the volcano bowl based off of the picture of everything being separated. I’m a “don’t mix peas and mashed potatoes” type of girl.

The selection of fish and toppings looked fresh but I wasn’t happy to have cold food mixed into warm rice or heavy sauced. Imagine if someone at chipotle took all of the cold toppings/sour cream and sauce, shook up your bowl and then hands it to you. It’d be a no for me.

Despite that process I was still willing to eat the food I just paid $15 for. It was good but not great. I kept tasting something off and so I tried eating the elements separately which tasted fine on their own yet off when combined. My husband had no complaints and liked how generous the portion was.

Back to the boba- that menu confused me too. So I just described what I wanted to drink and asked for it not to be very sweet. I ordered a lemonade with light mango and strawberry boba balls. It was good but again not great. If you’re a fan of sweet, go for it.

Since all this was just a matter of preferences… I’d definitely give it another try with special instructions and knowing what I’m getting.“

“The food was solid, and staff (Leeya) made it a great experience!“

“Friendly service, every dish is customizable and made quickly!! Great pad thai! Delicious gyoza, spring rolls, and Kani salad too.“

“Very standard vegetarian bowl. Disappointing size for $16. It's exactly what you expect, nothing more and nothing less. The worker was efficient. Definitely more of a take out place but I could imagine it's busier around lunch time.

Parking: Two hour parking“

“We tried them for the first time today at Arts, Beats and Eats and HOLY COW!!! Best food we have had in a VERY long time! The Sushi Sando with shrimp tempura and the Sushi Nachos with spicy shrimp were absolutely to die for! We will definitely be visiting their store front location!“

“It’s one of the most inexpensive poke bowls I’ve had so far, and it was really good too. I had white rice, spicy salmon, carrots, cucumbers, mango, pineapple, avocado, gluten free soy sauce and cusabi. I love how they label what items are vegan and gluten free on their menu!“

“Had another great night out at Edo! Fantastic service every time! Brandy was our waitress this time and she was VERY attentive, helpful, kind, and gave us stellar service! I hope you treat your staff well! They are all amazing! Food is always good, consistent, and large portions! Will be back for the service alone but the food is a huge plus!“
