I'm a huge fan of poke bowls so we excited to see this new place pop up! I was not disappointed in the least. Inside feels like an Asian grocery. They have a number of different snacks to try- I got the shrimp chips which were AMAZING - in addition to the poke bowls and burritos. It's a very interesting fusion that has a great vibe. I got a medium make your own bowl half sushi rice half kale noodles. And let me say, I will be back for those noodles. They are so good and if you want to be a bit lighter on carbs they're perfect. The tuna and salmon were fresh - the color and taste were amazing. They have a lot more topping options than Hello poke -- I felt more asian influence with the kimchi, picked radishes, ginger, etc. Two different seaweed options plus furikake, in addition to standards like crisp onions and garlic. There were lots of sauce options but I stuck to sesame and ponzu. I liked how all your toppings went into a different bowl to be mixed with the sauces then placed on top of the base. The portions are generous. For me, I don't eat a lot so this bowl will be at least 3 meals for me. The noodles and seaweed salad cost extra so with my drink and chips it was $24. Almost what I spend at Hello Poke for just a bowl. So I feel its very fairly priced. All in all, an excellent experience, delicious food, and I will definitely be back.
Man o man is this the place. I was in town on buisness and had this place pop up when searching for Poke. It was OUTSTANDING. Like it says build your own poke is the main theme. I did just that and the food quality, the flavor, the offerings for toppings and mix ins was incredible. I got to talking to the own and he told me he makes all of his own sauce. He recommended the poke sauce and I also added wasabi mayo. Just amazing flavor. Bottom line... if you are ANYWHERE near here and you want Poke. THIS IS THE SPOT.
Build Yo Poke never disappoints! The food is always super fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I like it. You can really taste the quality in every bite — from the perfectly seasoned proteins to the crisp veggies and sauces that tie it all together. The staff is friendly, patient, and always gets my order right. It’s one of my favorite spots for a healthy, satisfying meal that still feels like a treat. Highly recommend!
Every time I visit the US, Build Yo Poke is a must-have stop for me. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh, and the customizable options are perfect every single time. Thank you Hadi brother for the best services.
Best poke i’ve ever had, so fresh, authentic and delicious taste. Hadi is awesome with his job. Best overall.
The best bowl I’ve had! I’m here for work from out of town and grabbed lunch here. Everything tasted so fresh, the sauces were on point and plentiful, great portions, and super nice owner. Would absolutely recommend as a healthy, filling option and will come back here in the future.
One of the greatest poke bowls. We ordered it online as we were on a go. Perfectly prepared with all utensils etc. We like it so much so we even stopped by on our way back to enjoy it again.
Delicious poke - one of the best I’ve had! Excellent, friendly customer service - they make you feel very welcome. Location is clean, organized. Topping options are great. Great price for what you get (look at that beautiful, freshly sliced avocado!! I will be a regular customer! :)
