PJ Solomon

The cold winds of Burlington may be blowing, but the warm smiles and delicious food at Pokeworks warmed us right up! Wyatt was fantastic, and very accommodating to our requests for our poke bowl! Lots of varied options, and pretty reasonable pricing for food on Church Street. Quick service, and everything tasted great!

Julianne Antognoni

The service and food here was incredible! The ingredients were so fresh and the bowl was amazing! You have the option of ordering a bowl on the menu or creating your own bowl. The portion size is appropriate with the price. Both the workers making my bowl and serving us at the cash register were so friendly and very attentive to our needs. I highly recommend coming here if you are in Burlington and looking for fresh quality Poke bowls!

Nice place. Ingredients seem fresh. The burrito is a good size but is a bit pricey. The rice was a bit too mushy. But flavor still there.

Samara Densmore

I had the sesame chicken entree with brown rice and kale noodles. It was so good! I will definitely return for the same exact order.

Kaku Global

Sweet Chili Tofu! You cannot go wrong.. it has the sweet the spicy and the flavors that will make your taste buds go crazy! Place is well maintained and has good ambience.

portions are large and there’s a variety of proteins, veggies and sauces to choose from

This place is SO GOOD! I'm obsessed with sushi, and honestly, the fish you get here is probably the freshest fish in the area. Yes, it isn't really "sushi". It's Hawaiin food. It's poké. The raw food is delicious and there are choices for every kind of eater. One thing I would change about it is the fact that all of the servers have to split tips evenly at the end of the night instead of getting tipped directly. That seems kind of unfair to me. Also, you get more food when you get a bowl than a burrito, so the burritos should be less expensive than the bowls. Other than those things, this place kicks butt.

I was really excited to try this place as a special Mother's Day treat for myself, but my delivery order wasn't correct. I asked for Tuna & received Salmon, which I don't really like the texture of when its raw & it was missing several of the toppings I requested, like pickled ginger & wontons. It tasted good--in fact the Seaweed salad was excellent--but the Poke Bowl itself wasn't what I paid for. I'm hoping it was because I ordered toward the end of their day & they were out of some things. Will give them another try in the future, but I'm a little disappointed.

Todd Tomasi

Refreshingly awesome. Fresh, fast, delicious and priced fairly. We got the Umami Classic but customized it wicked spicy and saucey. Lots of extras like seaweed, ginger, Serrano, Thai bird chili, mixture of their sauces and much much more! Great service, helpful and friendly under pressure.

A M

Consistently fresh and delicious. I love the bowls and my partner always gets the burritos.

Monica M

This was a very nice and clean restaurant. Their staff is very helpful to first time customers. The items and flavors are very fresh. Lots of open seating.

Reny Linguini

First time here at Pokeworks and the food here is redunculous! It so good. Tonight I got the "hawaiin" and customized to include both seeweed and half Kale half rice. The ingredients were fresh and oversized. You will not be disappointed. The service is friendly and quick. Its not entirely "from the Islands" authentic but that difference is its freshness. In Hawaii, some Poke shops pick the seaweed the day before. I am going there for lunch tomorrow!

So Vermont now has two legit poke bowl spots, Pokeworks and The Scale in Williston. Pokeworks isn’t bad by any means, but I find the flavor of the fish much better The Scale. The fish at Pokeworks (salmon) was a little bland. Not sure if The Scale seasons theirs, but I find it way more flavorful. Price point, both places are similar. The other negative about Pokeworks is the seating. It is one of those places where you order at the counter then have to find a table. It always annoys me when there are people who hold tables and haven’t ordered (these types of ppl are the worse, no dining etiquette). I think this place will do well as it on Church St.

I eat mostly vegan, and I love Pokéworks. The tofu bowl is really filling and fresh. I especially like this location since it has this spicy Szechuan sauce that tastes like the mala sauce in mapo tofu. It's amazing with the yuzu sauce. Also really appreciate the compostable utensils, which is unfortunately not yet a thing at all Pokéworks locations. Would definitely recommend for a quick and healthy meal at a reasonable price of around $14 after taxes.

Kelly

We were going to the Scale for a while but glad I discovered this poke place. Way more options and similar prices. I also really like the poke burrito, just imagine a giant sushi roll. It's a nori wrap and you can fill it with all kinds of things and amazingly they roll it all up and it's not messy to eat.

Erin Doble

Great food but a little pricey. Gentleman working wasn’t in a good mood or very friendly

Katya Lundberg

Very fresh with lots of options for toppings and sauces. Loved the kale noodles and their rice is perfectly sticky. Honestly we ate here one night this week and it was so good that my husband was tempted to go back the next day.The team that works there is really friendly and quick. Generous portions. Highly recommend!

Dash Beaujippers

Very good, i just wish the fish was cut up a little smaller (some pieces were 1.5" x1" for the poke bowl)... but everything was fresh and delicious and the staff was delightful.

Jared Kaplan

Really good but they butchered both our take out orders. Added things to both we didn't select and left off things we did. It wasn't just one or two options, it's almost like they didn't even look at what we selected other than what the main dishes both were. Again though, it was really good.

Liz King

Absolutely love the sushi here! I’ve had a poke rice bowl and a sushi burrito so far! So yummy!!!

Max V

Food was extremely fresh and the flavors I had with the szechuan pokebowl was unbelievably good. Definitely worth a visit and a good casual date night.

Rick Kinsman

I ordered online through Delivery.com and the whole process was seemless and quick. The ingredients were fresh and packed with flavor. This was a great lunch option while downtown. Thanks!

Kate Castonguay

This was very good and perfect portion with a good meat to rice ratio. There are a lot of options friendly for all kinds of diets and they have many specialty bowl options. I enjoyed my first visit now I want to go back and try more meats. There's not just tuna and chicken, there's also scallops and shrimp. You can go wild with toppings. I would recommend for a healthy quick meal. Regular size was great for lunch.

Joe Wehry

We were disappointed with our poke bowls, both the noodles and rice were bland. The toppings were fresh, but simply piled on top. Mixing toppings and sauce with the base is a messy affair. Service is friendly and quick. We didn't think the price to value was a good fit. Bright wood decor is great.

Irsan S

Yummy. Will comeback again later. Must try when you are in this area.

Tom Speight

Honestly on first sight I thought this place had something to do with Pokemon, but the food was good.

Beatrix Hassler

This place is a great addition to the dining options on Church Street. The service was friendly and quick, and our poke burritos were so delicious. All the toppings looked fresh and it was hard to choose between all the options! I got the spicy ahi tuna with avocado and would definitely recommend getting extra sauce. I will absolutely be returning soon. Yum!

Emily Pomichter

Think oversized portion of sushi. You get more food and customization for a lower price and aren't paying a premium for extra ingredients. The quality of the fish is reasonable, about halfway between grocery store and high end sushi restaurant. The flavors are excellent, and the service is the same as any other choose your own adventure eatery.

Marissa Alvarez

Really chill and friendly staff! Loved the service. Food was yummy too.

Jey L.

Great place, food was very fresh and even though they were super slammed tonight they were super friendly and smiling. Bowl seems to be small but it is actually very filling. Keep up great work!

Ashley Fisk

The convenience of being able to just order from their app is really great. Easy to find on Church Street in downtown Burlington. Food is fresh, delicious with many wonderful options on their menu and generous portion sizes. Really love this place.

Faolan Greenwood

Easily one of my favorite spots to stop for food in Burlington- my family always requests it when they come up to visit me at college! Portions are very generous and I love their selection of Hawaiian soda. A wonderful spot to have a casual and delicious meal while on Church Street!

Samantha Holland

Delicious, fresh food! I love stopping in for lunch and making a custom bowl.

Koa Dirt

Food is decent and well priced. I've had authentic poke when I lived in Hawai'i and this is not authentic, but it's still good. They should, however, always serve in reusable bowls unless customers specifically request take out. If they are eating in then they should only use the metal bowls! We need to reduce plastic waste! So management, please change your policies, and get rid of the plastic altogether. Eat-in= reusable bowls/utensils/cups; take out= compostable only. Until they change their policies, I request that customers specifically ask not to use plastic stuff. Also, bring your own water bottle (they only have plastic cups). That is disappointing.

Robbie Kline

Very impressed with this place. Amazing selection for a reasonable price. Some of the items are typically very expensive at sushi restaurants and they are pretty generous when you ask for extra. Nice friendly staff and good atmosphere. I especially liked the sushi burrito item.

Kylie Halpin

I order from Pokeworks almost once a week for lunch. The ingredients are so fresh and delicious, I love how customizable the options are. Only bummer is the last few times I've visited, they've been out of the Hawaiian salt (early in the day too.) Isn't that supposed to be one of the classic options?? Not docking stars, maybe I was just unlucky.

Johnny Gump

If you've never ventured here my opinion would be to try it at least once. not only is the food healthy but there are plenty of flavors to mix in to enjoy a delicious healthy meal. Fresh seafood complimented with fresh fruits and other alternatives to enjoy a delicious bowl or wrap. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Samantha Dickey

Love eating at this location. The sushi and the vegetable choices are always fresh and delicious. The staff is very well trained and has great customer service. They seem very receptive to consumer requests for recycling and have made some changes since opening

Kelvin Chan

I had a bowl the other day for dinner. It's like an Asian/Japanese version of Moe's/Subway/Chipotle where you pick all the ingredients from each station. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sauce I picked was too strong that I cannot taste my proteins (salmon, tuna, scallop). Be aware to pick your sauce if you want to taste the natural taste of your fishes. The bowl is a bit expensive too at almost $20 (including a miso soup) considering a fast casual/upscale fast place.

John Bertelsen

You have to be prepared to eat barely cooked or raw seafood. I asked if the shrimp was cooked and was told that it was. It was slimy. Maybe I don't appreciate poke style food. If it's your thing go for it. My wife had chicken and said it was good.

Dr JoAn Monaco

Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, overall great!

Savannah

The food is delicious, nutritious, filling and I feel healthy eating it! When I choose take out, I always have more than enough for another meal the next day! The price is affordable as well

Steven Kaplowitz

The young people were really helpful and the food was fresh. Its probably the HEALTHIEST place to eat on the Church Street Marketplace. And the prices are very affordable and very fair. My wife loves the place and she is from Vietnam.

Don Branum

I *love* the food here, and the service is top notch.

Andrea Tremols

This place is awesome! Love their poke and the fact that I can eat there with my many allergies and food restrictions.

Kennon Young

So psyched this place is here! You can get a bowl, 🍣 burrito, sushi noodles, or make your own. Large bowls are $15, small at $11. I couldn't finish a large one as a 200lb dude. …

Josh Rotz

Wonderful time ordering for pickup with their app after delivery options on other sites failed. Wonderful food. Lived the atmosphere when I stopped in. Will be back to experience the whole thing.

Hope the quality never slips! I felt safe eating the sushi here. Everything was fresh

Eric Bliven

It's good for mainland style haole poke. However, it's far from authentic poke. They don't even sell spam musubi at this location.

Larae Sams

The food was great. The staff made great recommendations for us and stayed open a little later to let us enjoy our meal. Thank you

Sydney Alderman

I love eating here (Burlington) it’s my favorite work lunch/all the time lunch place it’s so fresh and filling. Good price good food

Greg Hanoian

So happy this place opened. I saw the sign last time I was here for work and was pleasantly surprised to see it has opened. My favorite is the spicy ahi sushi burrito.

Sjoerd Visser

First time. Very helpful. Patient in explaining. Will definitely be back!

Amber Pacheco

Delicious, fresh Poke! Go for the bowls, the seaweed wrapped poke "burritos" are a cool concept but just fall to pieces at the ends.

Mathius Neilson

An amazing place to go with a friend, its like having sushi but its not put together and its in a bowl. There is a lot to choose from and has helpful staff

Steph Ospina

The bowls are delicious and very healthy! The team is also super efficient!
