First time customer. Told the worker that I couldn’t have anything spicy, specifically selected non-spicy versions of ingredients, and yet the bowl was spicy and burned my mouth.

First time here, was very pleased! Each item was superbly fresh. There was a nice variety of protiens. The staff was knowledgeable making a first-time visit less awkward. The drink options were equally as fresh. Super clean restaurant… Definitely a return visit will be happening. With all of the positives, the only reason I chose 4-stars, price… Not that I didn’t anticipate the price due to the menu, but for a fast/casual dining the price is a bit high in my opinion.

Good poke spot in downtown Durham that has a number of protein options, white or brown rice, and then a number of toppings and sauces including some that are a little unusual. You can also order poke as a bowl, burrito, salad, or with noodles. Ends up being a lot of combinations. You can customize poke order or choose from a number of options they have created. Small space that does not have a ton of seating, but it is clean, bright, and pleasant. Counter order and made in front of you. Easy to go spot.

Definitely the highest quality fish in Durham- most sushi here is gross and the fish is not fresh. I come here ever my few weeks for a fresh, yummy dinner.

Pokeworks, why have I been passing you all these months?!? Your food is so fresh and amazing! I was really wanting a lunch that was refreshing and uplifting after a very long day and you provided that! I went with building my own bowl because I am super indecisive! I got the regular bowl with salad and rice topped with shrimp and spicy salmon. Then I added ginger, seaweed, pineapple, wontons, and aoili and house sauces. Omg! So good! Every bite was just as good if not better than the last! I love that the rice was warm too!

the food is very delicious but the customer service of the men who were working this day is very inappropriate, rude and unprofessional

A nice addition to downtown Durham that is a healthy option. Like many poké restaurants it is not authentic as they do it in Hawaii, but a great customizable meal or try a set bowl love the Hawaiian Classic which I had. Choose a base and they have some nice choices in addition to rice or salad including quinoa and kale noodles. The difference between regular and large is not the bowl size but 2 scoops vs 3 scoops of protein such as ahi tuna, spicy tuna, etc. This seems a little chintzy but had been the winning combo since this is a chain. Still really like Zenfish on 9th St better, but this is a totally different location. Parking of course is a challenge as it is downtown Durham.

Terrible rice texture , chewy and gummy . Totally cooked with too much water , barely any toppings and the sauce was gross . worst poke I’ve had in Durham . Also my avocado was brown and definitely tasted old .
