First time trying this establishment. Wow! So good. Thank goodness I went with a mahalo regular size. Tons of Ahi tuna fresh, fresh cucumber, jalapeño, rice. Seaweed salad. Can’t wait to try another one. Highly recommend this place.

Ordered online and came 25 minutes later (the time the website told me to) to my poke bowl sitting on the counter (not refrigerated). Fish was warm and rancid. Not the first time I’ve had a bad experience- but the final straw to leave a review.

I’ve been going here every once in a while when I’m craving it. The very first time it was very good and fresh. I went there today and I must say… it tasted different (not in a good way). The salmon is definitely not fresh and it tastes… off. Not sure I’ll be going back.

Nothing special. Paid $20 for a bowl that wasn’t worth it in my opinion.

I go there on the daily for lunch and this last time I went there 20 minutes before closing with my wife and were treated with such poor attitude. It felt like we were bothering the girl who was at the cashier. Very rude. Banging the tools while making the food to make me feel bad for going there 20 minutes before closing. Next time close the doors or tell the customer you are no longer serving. No one should experience such situation.

A fresh bowl of goodness! . I did not expect such crunchiness and freshness from a poke bowl in New Hampshire. The last time I had a poke bowl was in San Diego, this was better than that. . . Got a large poke bowl. There were so many toppings.. a few were not available like octopus. But still, it tasted extremely good.. . The service was really nice. The lady in the counter was an absolute gem. She gave us a few plastic bowls for us to share.. which was a very nice gesture. . The ambience was nice and calm . Definitely on the expensive side. But worth it I guess.

What a waste of $20. Ordered a large bowl, very skimpy, paid extra of toppings, very little provided. Bowl was not filled. A ton of toppings they didn't have. Very disappointed. 1st time coming and the last. I know I make better ones at the house. No wonder this place is empty. Plus sushi rice was mush.

So the poke here is mid and is nothing like the poke you find in Hawaii. This is a bowl of ingredients that you mix together yourself as opposed to the premade poke that you tend to find in Hawaii. Stick to the tuna and salmon and skip the shrimp. And go light on the sauce, the default amount they put in is pretty heavy and you end up tasting nothing but the sauce. The biggest positive is the price. Prices were very reasonable and they put a decent amount of protein in the bowls. Service was friendly and prompt. If you're looking for more traditional poke, this is not the place. But if you don't care, then this place isn't bad and will do if you're craving raw seafood but don't want to pay sushi prices.

I am no stranger to poké bowls and have eaten them at many restaurants around the country. My experience at Poké Spot in Manchester was a generous 2/5. I appreciated the polite staff providing me with a list of gf items as well as the variety of proteins and add-ons available. The pricing was reasonable and the wait time for dining in was very short. That's where the positives end. Here's where they missed the mark: - all 4 bowls contained near rotten avocado (dark brown spots throughout and off-tasting) - all 4 bowls my family ordered contained little to no sauce, the ingredient that really ties a poké bowl together. - mine contained a fair amount of jalapenos (I did not order or otherwise mention jalapenos) - the salmon looked and tasted less than fresh, was clearly low quality even for farmed fish - the pineapple was more white than yellow - the music playing on the restaurant speakers contained profane language which I did not appreciate as my young children were present. - none of the three young men wore gloves while preparing the food and I watched one of them rearrange some errant carrots in someone's takeout order with his fingers.
I would not go back, at least to the Manchester location. The staff were polite and prompt but they need additional training.
Always randomly closed for seemingly no reason, always out of main ingredients. When its on point it is good, but it hardly ever is.
