Reviews of The Poké Company

Kathryn “Kat” Alvarez

Absolutely delicious! Both salmon and tuna were high quality and generously proportioned. Great selection of toppings and delicious sauces. Brisk lunch take-out trade and comfortable seating too.

Stephen Hall

I eat here at least 2 times per week. There is this one bowl maker named Annalis who has turned into one of my favorite people. She is seemingly always working and has the same consistent smile and perfection when making my bowl. I would probably eat here if she was not serving my bowl but she definitely makes every customer feel welcomed and appreciated. More should follow her example…

James Faurote

They catered our work event last night and the food was amazing! Even with it being catered I don't think I have ever has a more fresh poke bowl. The tuna was fantastic and all the different sauces they offer make the food pop. Definitely looking forward to visiting their restaurant with my family. Thank you!

Piet-Jan Schoots

First time in my life that I had a Pokebowl and I absolutely loved it! All ingredients were very fresh and delicious. Staff was very helpful in explaining “how it worked” and very friendly. Great experience. Thank you!

Anna Uriel

My husband and I tried the poke at an event where they had a pop-up stand. My husband has been craving poke for the last two weeks, so it worked out. The other place we went to last week was… not the best. So we were really impressed with the quality and taste of The Poke Company’s bowls! Sometimes poke can gross me out a bit with the raw fish, but I never had that feeling with the poke company! I ate my whole bowl 🫣 Highly recommend it! Good quality food. Nice people!

Edvin Klimentic

I loved it, great combination of meat and/or fish with variety of greens. I mixed chicken, steak and tuna. It came out perfect.

Brian NewWin

If you order make sure Lars is doing it best worker ever. Dont for get to tip. Nice guy and hard worker.

Mr. Richard

The poke wrap is great. Their other wraps and bowls are good too. I enjoy getting food here. The only downside is the lack of parking. It’s more for those who live in one of the many large apartment buildings in the area. I would highly recommend getting food here even if you have to walk a block from where you park.

David Insel

I had the Poke bowl with the mixed greens as a base instead of rice which was amazing and helped me cut carbs. If your looking for a Healthy alternative to fast food, try The Pike Company. Restaurant is very clean and staff are very attentive and helpful

Hannah Stoffer

Best quality poke I've had, ever! Ample amount of food even for a small size bowl. Fresh fish, fresh rice, & toppings. Will be visiting again soon!!

bbmissy281

As soon as my family and I walked in we were greeted by an employee named Annalisa. She was very friendly. She helped us decide what we wanted and explained everything in detail. The food was excellent and fresh. Resturant was clean. My family and I will be back. Also recommending this place to my family and friends. See you all soon.

isabellagoria

The owner Anthony is SOOOO kind and always takes time to talk to me! Quality is amazing. Always a clean restaurant and quick! Absolutely love coming here for a healthy option!

Mary Falling

Excellent poke bowls, great with allergies, and quality service.

Mona Noorian

Great service but dissapointing poke portion/ tons of rice. Overpriced and mediocre. This was even a large. Have had better and wouldnt return.

Yelawolfpack Heidi Elliott

Very tasty!! Definitely will come back

Mike Jones

Disappointed to say the least. Chicken is cheap thigh meat, pineapple still had the eyes in numerous pieces, not sure if you've ever tried to eat the outside of a pineapple, but I assure you, its inedible. Ordered sauce, received no sauce. Overpriced, failed attempt at fried rice. I'd rather support my local Asian family restaurant than pay for this sorry excuse for food. Guess quality doesn't matter when you cater to the generation who thinks avocado on toast is gourmet.

Christina Belgin

What an experience! The crew was super friendly and helped me by making suggestions. My bowl was fresh and delicious. The tuna was sushi grade and the flavors were out of this world!

Erin

Delicious healthy food option :) I am really glad they came to the area. Friendly and helpful staff will give you good options for the best mix of ingredients. I love that they offer the cauliflower rice as an option for the base.

Michael Joel

Best Poke I've tried in Tampa! Reminded me of Crazy Poke – Wynwood, Miami. Shoutout to the girl who made the food, she saw me with a camera filming the place and asked if I wanted her to wait before she packed up the food To-Go so I could take some extra pictures lol. Great flavor! Here's how that clip came out

Keith Conover

Think Subway for poke bowls instead of subway sandwiches. But they are very good poke bowls. Many choices of ingredients.

A. A.

This is the best salmon poké I've ever had. The choices for sauce options are incredible-all are delicious but my favorite was the sweet chili. I also truly appreciate the attention to allergens without compromising taste. Thank you Anthony!!!!

Bob Noriega

Oh em gee. This was the BEST poke bowl I've ever had. The tuna was super fresh and it tasted great. I found my new secret poke spot in Tampa!

Shirley Steele

This was a blast! The whole experience was so wonderful! Anthony the owner made us feel welcome and was a great host. He walked us through the steps in trying to make our first bowl exceptional and it definitely was! It can be overwhelming as a first timer but he was very patient and made the process great. The fresh ingredients like mixed salad, cucumbers, ahi tuna, salmon, were very tasty. He recommended things to try and flavors that may go together. I loved the variety of sauces. The atmosphere here and around the area is lively and fun! We had a great time! The highlight of our evening was having Anthony come sit with us and share his passion for doing the restaurant and life. He is an inspiration! Please go and check this place out!

Andrés Villeta Astacio

This place is perfect if you're looking for something fresh, light and healthy. For 8 dollars, you get a decent amount of food.

Louis Diaz

My first time here was fun and the food was excellent. The options were plentiful and delicious! The restaurant was extremely clean. The staff was attentive, accommodating and very friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit.

olivia golden

I order from this place religiously, and in fact ordered today. Today was by FAR the best it’s ever been! Quality is great and you’ve added a larger bowl for extra poke when asked for! Honestly the best poke I’ve ever had!

Isabella B.

The 1/2 salmon 1/2 ahi tuna poké bowl I ordered was delicious, fresh, and had a generous serving of toppings in proportion to the base. It was also a decent price point for the amount of food I received. As this is close to my apartment, I will hopefully be back again soon.

Rebecca Jackins-Goodman

Absolutely the very best! I could eat here every day. The ingredients are so fresh and the attention to detail in the service is top-notch.

Good Food

What a fantastic poke bowl! I absolutely enjoyed it. New favorite spot. Great job to the owner.

Gabriel Altmeyer

Great quality food consistently, every time I go in they already know my order. Terrific customer service from Annalisa and Raina!!

Amita Dhillon

Delicious food and friendly staff! It’s always a pleasure to come in, especially when Anthony (owner) is around. He always greets you like a friend and makes sure everything is to your liking!

Gaming WarBillion

Raina was the best person at this place she was very helpful and I would 100% go again only if I can have Raina helping me. She deserves a Raise her service was the best service I had in a long time. Thank u Raina for making my experience the best:)

Larry Fye

Loved the Salmon and Tuna Poke with brown rice and about everything available.

Olivia Davis

If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would be a poke bowl from here. ONLY from here. I’ve tried so many poke places and none compare. Seriously I come here like twice a week. Amazing!!

Amber Payzant

Absolutely love this place! We just discovered it and the food and staff are amazing. The food is clean, fresh and delicious. I love the veggie bowl and my boyfriend always gets the chicken.. The owner is also incredibly friendly. We highly recommend coming here to try some new dishes!

Julia Warchol

Fantastic poke bowl and amazing customer service! I had 1/2 cauliflower rice, 1/2 regular- with tuna and spicy tuna .. FABULOUS! Lots of toppings and they don’t have a limit on how many you can have which we loved! My BF had the salmon and it was also great and fresh! Cute location, a fun raffle going on, and great interaction from the (owners ?) - my 7 YO son was with us, he’s a picky eater so we didn’t get him a bowl, they offered him a free rice / chicken bowl and it was delicious!! Super great spot, we will be back!! 🍣

Callie Emma

Highly recommend! The ahi tuna was so fresh and had an abundance of toppings to give the perfect texture and flavors to a bowl of your choosing. The patio is great for hanging with your dog while you munch down. The servers were very helpful in their recommendations while the manager is also very hands on. I cant wait to come back!

Erin Duffy

Delicious bowls! I got one spicy tuna and a tofu bowl. The guy behind the counter, who I believe is the owner, was so helpful in advising me what to mix in the bowl since this was my first poke bowl ever. The service was great and the you definitely get your money's worth. I will be back and so will my family.

Michael Benson

I ordered a ahi tuna, salmon poke bowl to go and when i opened it, I didn't like that the rice was hot BUT they amended it which was really nice. I had to call and pull a Karen and speak to the manager which i don't like doing but i have to give credit, they did fix it and even delivered me a new one free of charge. The owner called me and thanked me for letting them know about this mistake (they accidentally left the rice warmer plugged in.) They really do care about their food and their customers. If you're like me a picky about the temperature of your rice paired with raw sushi fish, just ask that they don't serve it with warm, steaming rice. I know this seems like a picky thing but think: when was the last time you were served a warm sushi roll with raw fish? Probably never cause thats a big no-no with raw fish. I chalk it up to an inexperienced worker or just simply a mistake. The rice you get served with chicken is very different than the rice that gets paired with raw sushi grade fish. At the end of the day they made good on their promise and the food was delicious. I'll be coming back again

Nancy Hui

The chicken burrito is SO good. It was my first poke styled “burrito” and it was big and wrapped with seaweed. I ordered through delivery so no comment on customer service. Bf ordered the poke bowl and said it was ok. Only con would be how hugely sliced the jalapeños were, other than that with the perfect sauce and ingredient combinations, you can really make something good

Bridgett Adams

This is the BEST Poke bowl I have had and no other poke companies can compare. Fresh ingredients, variety of toppings and sauces are top tier

Nadia

I get delivery from here for lunch pretty often. The quality is good especially for the price and it always comes wrapped well. I suggest trying the carrot ginger sauce!

Courtney M.

OMGGGGG so good! My family and I were on vacation when we stumbled across this gem, since it was across the way from our hotel. I can't lie, I was a little skeptical. I'm from Michigan where Chipotle is a huge deal so I was scared of being disappointed but boy was I wrong! If I had to compare this spot to Chipotle I would say that The Poke Company has a fresher spin to the meal bowl than Chipotle. The food was oh so delicious, super fresh tasting, and extremely filling. The first night I ordered a "small" bowl and it was just enough. The second day I came in for lunch and ordered a "regular" bowl but it was a bit much for me, I had a hard time finishing it. My husband on the other hand thought the regular bowl was the perfect amount. Its so possible to eat tasty clean food even while vacationing! Thanks you guys for an amazing meal option and experience while these Michiganders were vacationing ☀️⛱

Heather Travis

Delicious! So excited to have a new fresh spot in the neighborhood. The people here are super friendly and quick to answer questions while filling your order. The inside seating is spacious and comfortable, plus you can sit outside in the sunshine. Hands down I will be a regular. Spicy tuna and salmon are both delicious. The company sauce and the avocado lime sauce are also super tasty together or separate. Order: Regular poke bowl with greens and cauliflower rice, salmon,all the mixins!..company sauce with crispy shallots, ginger, crab and avocado lime drizzle. BOOM! Your welcome.

Florida Bell

Amazing place for fresh ahi tuna poké bowls, with plenty of spicy, and non spicy options to dress your bowl. The restaurant was clean. Manager was attentive. And outdoor dining is also available. I would eat here everyday.

Robert Jablukov

Totally loved the staff and the food. They created their own bowl for me and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. Gonna miss it when I’m back home in Germany!

Christina Christina

The food was amazing. The ingredients were fresh!

Vinicius Davila

Great food, love the spicy protein options.

jaquez frierson

Raina thank u so much for helping us. I know we had a big party of us come by but Raina u kept things in tip top shape and thank u again.

Matt G

Eating at this restaurant is delicious! Various meats and seafood to put on a custom rice bowl with spices and variations of scrumptious flavors! I experience fantastic customer service here as well.

Jay Thomas

Good poké spot, but a bit pricey for what it is. The food is very good and the location is really nice. The parking situation sucks. You can also get them on doordash.

Eva Dunkle

What an awesome find and great change of scenery!!! 🍛🦐🎣Super fresh poke and a very hospitable owner (Anthony) that made my experience top notch. You get the bang for your buck here and it is absolutely delicious!!! So many cute places to stop by in this Channelside nook... Gelato, beer, poke; who could want more?! *Tip: free 2 hour parking in the parking garage steps away.

carlos leal

This place its Amazing!!! Great food with stunning flavors!!! Im not 100% sure but i guess it was Greilys the girl that made the bowls for my wife and me today, and her customer service was just perfect. Highly recommended The Poke Company Tampa!!!

Amy Wang Morales

Great value for the quality and quantity of food you get! They have vegan/plant-based options as well. What stands out the most about this place is the amazing customer service that you get in every visit. Highly recommend!

Jill Quigg

Our first time having poke. It was good! Wish I picked a different sauce (it was the citrus soy sauce), but will know for next time. 😊 …

joyce michele

Enormous and delicious to boot! Hard to find at first but o so worthy. Can eat inside (wifi) or outside. This gives on Grand Central. The young woman who crafted my bowl was awesome. I had everything except for the peppers. Mmmm life is good. Ps. Everyone was masked.

Jessica Reisner

This is my favorite Poke place in Tampa! The food is always fresh, healthy, prices are fair and the portions are generous! We order for lunch at work at least one a month.

Nadia Nunez

Absolutely love this place! The food is fresh and healthy! Always walk in to a warm welcome. Service is fast & friendly! Perfect place to meet someone for lunch!!! I would highly recommend!

Jill Roig

M Kirienko

Really good poke, all toppings are very fresh. Great option for quick lunch

Julian Uvalle

The food is so amazing! Everything is very fresh and has amazing flavor. Customer service was excellent, can't wait to go back for more!

Steven Palkovich

Excellent poke spot. The fish is fresh and the toppings are A-1. Bonus: you can park in the garage for free (0-2 hours is free). Will be back!

Caryn B

The freshest tuna and awesome sauces! My favorite poke place. Try the key lime ice cream.

N DJ

First poke bowl I ever had... Could that mean it was also the best? Possibly, but everytime I go back it's just as great!

Tyson Flannery

So. Good. Got a small poke bowl. Everything tasted fresh and it wasn't expensive. The service was good. I highly recommend trying the poke company.

The Poke Company Restaurant is located at the ground floor of Kennedy Grand Central Condominiums in the Channelside District of Downtown Tampa next to City Dog Cantina Mexican Restaurant, Gelato-Go Tampa, Massage Envy, Crunch Fitness Gym, Cena Italian Restaurant, Pour House Bar, Ginger Beard coffee, Late Start Brewing, Maloneys Irish Tavern, and the Hideaway Cafe Sushi Restaurant. Poke Company serves key lime pie ice cream, seaweed salad, krab salad, poke burritos and poke bowls with your choice of protein including ahi tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, steamed shrimp, chicken, and tofu. Base options include white rice, brown rice, mixed greens, and cauliflower rice. Mix-Ins include cucumber, sweet onion, jalapeño, edamame, cilantro, & hijiki seaweed. Toppings include scallion, sesame seeds, wasabi peas, crispy onions, pickled ginger, tempura flakes, pineapple, eel sauce, spicy mayo, Thai coconut cream, wasabi aioli, masago fish roe, seaweed salad, and avocado. Sauces include Company sauce, citrus ponzu, sesame Shoyu, spicy mayo, spicy miso, avocado lime, and coconut aminos. I got the small ahi tuna bowl with a bunch of mix-Ins and toppings and it was pretty good although not my favorite. I was underwhelmed by the small number of mix-Ins and vegetable add-on options available which is much less than other poke restaurants like Poke Express and U Poke Spot by the USF area. If you're in the area definitely try their large bowl but I wouldn't go out of your way to visit if you're in the USF or North Tampa areas. However, for those that live in Downtown Tampa, I'm sure this will be a popular go to spot for a convenient healthy meal! The Poke Company Restaurant features a very basic casual decor with 8 light bamboo wood tables, uncomfortable steel aqua colored chairs, concrete floors, white walls, industrial basic drop down lights that make the place bright as day at night, and no music. I'd encourage management to color the walls, add some cushions to their chairs to make the place more comfortable, add music, and dim the lights to make the place more festive. To drink, Poke Company does not offer any alcohol but does have iced tea with boba and natural fountain sodas. I look forward to trying more types of bowls soon!

Mykie Hardy

My favorite poke spot in Tampa. I have a few closer to where I live but this place is worth the trip. Super fresh, great value for the price, generous portions.

Ricardo Figueroa

Tasty and fresh! Taste is spot on... Not overpowering but nowhere near bland.

Excellent service from a a very friendly and professional staff. The bowl was well made and the fish was really fresh. I look forward to visiting again.

Carole Yokell

The quality of the food and service are top notch. Although I will have the salmon again when I return, there is a large variety of proteins from which to chose.

Justin Piliego

So glad they’re open again! Large portions, tasty, and healthy. Even if you’re not a fan of fish, they have tons of choices.

Jeanine B

Absolutely delicious! Gonna be coming here frequently. Highly recommend the tofu bowl with shoyu sauce and the avocado sauce on top.
