"Delicious!! Just had the teriyaki chicken! I looooove the Mac salad they throw in there. With my brand new gut issues, it was very friendly. I ate far too much rice too. I couldn't stop myself. They have the guava canned drinks as well. I've always been obsessed with them. It was buy 1 get one free. Can't beat that!"

"OMG Get the Baltimore Tempura Maki Roll. Is it authentically Japanese? Probably not- in fact, it's ginormous, saucy, and tastes like the whole sushi roll was deep fried in tempura batter. But man was it good. I would go back just for that roll. It's in R-House."

Pokee Xpress

★★★★★ 4.8 (54)

"We completely stumbled upon Pokee Xpress, while looking for a lunch spot on our road. I hadn't even referred to Yelp to find this gem! I can see why this place gets the 5-star reviews it so rightly deserves. The ingredients are so fresh and the options varied and plentiful. Not to mention that the gentleman who created our Poke bowls was super friendly and personable. The interior and restroom was immaculate and super clean. The bowls were pricey for what I consider a reasonable price for Poke, but it seems everything has gone up in cost."

"Yes, this location still has great food but recently their attitudes have been sub par. I am unsure what had happened but they don't stay consistent with greeting you (even when you are the only one in the establishment), they are getting extremely skimpy when you ask for extra of something, they will continue making the online offers while yet not telling you to give them a minute (don't you see people standing in front of you?), it seems like a rushed attitude to get you out. I really use to enjoy speaking with the family but now things seem to have changed with them. My recent bowl was halfway full due to the cut back but the higher prices. I understand times may be tough, but the skimping is a shock from their normal servings and generosity especially when some extras you have to pay for. I truly hope they can get it back together so their rating can go back up. Just note I will visit less frequently."

"I came across this lovely fast casual poke/noodle spot during my lunch break. It's very much a step up from the Chipotles of the world with a clean, well decorated environment and friendly employees. I went with the triple protein poke bowl with jumbo shrimp, spicy tuna, and salmon. It was not cheap ($17+) but it was a veritable feast. And delicious. The toppings make the bowl and you can find everything from seaweed salad to mango. It was an impressive selection. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Owings Mills!"

Poke N Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (40) • $$

"We are so excited about this place! It is in the old Greek place and has kept a lot of the interior, which made us chuckle. They have pre-made options and make your own options for ramen or poke. We both opted for poke (Annapolis NEEDS more places like this). I thoroughly enjoyed mine, as did my husband. His main qualm was he asked for one of the sushi burritos but in a bowl instead. In doing so, they did not charge him the same price but over $16 (opposes to the ~$12). This really upset him, and I think that's understandable considering it was the same thing without the nori wrap. The fish was tender. The sauces good. The staff was friendly. Will definitely go back -- but not worth the price if they up-charge like they did."

"I've not had the poke at this location yet, but I most certainly will. What I have had is their AMAZING donuts. Usually I avoid donuts, ones from Dunkin or Krispy Kreme leave a film on the top of my mouth that's suspicious. However, one day I was at my nail salon and my nail tech offered me a donut. I was about to refuse until I looked in the box and saw these oddly wavy shaped donuts - one had green frosting with a sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles and I couldn't resist it. Oh, it was so very good. I could taste the oil it was fried in, a subtle but great addition to the flavors of the frosting and Fruity Pebbles.A week or so later I was going to brunch and decided to visit Blowfish to get a dozen. The gentleman manning the register was super helpful and put together a box with 2 of each flavors they had available, plus a spare one with the Fruity Pebbles topping for me! I paid and headed to my brunch.The donuts were a hit! None remained before I left!I feel like if they've mastered donuts, the rest of their offerings must be good as well. I'm looking forward to visiting and ordering poke!"

"If you're a fan of the Blowfish Poke in Catonsville, this has everything they have, plus a few things more. My wife and I got our regular orders (poke bowls). I did ask for a fried shrimp as one of my proteins, but they didn't include it. I'm wondering if they wont' mix it with the sushi, or if they forgot, or you can't actually choose three proteins. The big thing for me is that they have the $2 kids bowls and they have fried shrimp. This means everyone in my family can have dinner from there! ( the kids can't eat sushi and won't eat the tofu - but they love fried shrimp). You can also get Spam Musubi from here. If you've never had it (or spam) - the description is a hotdog dressed up like sushi with something like an eel sauce over it. I liked it more than I thought I would - but I don't think it will be a regular order. The salty spam went well with the sweet sauce and was balanced out by the rice and seaweed wrapper. The shop itself is very small - so mostly a to-go place. They do have some outdoor seating, but most is in the parking lot, so post-pandemic, they might go away. If you go at a busy time, the line might extend out the door for ordering. If you ordered ahead, you can go straight in to pick up your order."

Playa Bowls

"My first experience here a few weeks ago was fabulous so I came back and brought one of my daughters. She loved the fun murals on the walls and the pictures of surfing and water below the bar. As I said in my last review, the space is bright, clean, fun and there is a lot of room. They even have two bathrooms that are spacious and clean. The staff are warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly.I got the Acai power bowl (acai base with chocolate, peanut butter, granola and bananas) and my daughter got a strawberry and banana smoothie. The acai bowl was again fantastic. Smooth, soft, sorbet-like texture to the acai and perfectly complemented by the toppings. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is that my daughters smoothie was quite bland and lacking in flavor. I don't know if it was the coconut milk they use, or if the strawberries weren't that flavorful, but it was a bit of a disappointment. I would go back for sure but would stay away from the smoothies and stick with the acai!"

Charm City Poke & Mochi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (17) • $$

"This local spot reminds me of traditional authentic Hawaiian poke. The poke bowls are delicious and the ingredients are very fresh. You can build your own poke bowl. Which I love to do as there are so many options to choose from. Or you can opt for a premade combo which is good if you are indecisive or don't know what to mix. They also serve spam Musubi, another traditional Hawaiian dish that I like a lot. But I like spam. On this trip I opted for ramen as it was suggested by Naa who works there. I got the spicy tonkotsu which was very flavorful. It did not taste too spicy to me because I really like things extra spicy. So I might not be the best judge of spice level. If you like pork belly in your ramen such as myself it is listed on the menu as chashu. They also have beef, chicken and veggie add ons. If you want something sweet they also have mochi donuts. You can order on the kiosk. Or at the counter. The kiosk is super easy and convenient. Or you can order at the counter. The menu is on display monitors. Or there are paper menus. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They will explain the menu to you and make suggestions if you need help deciding. You can watch them make your food as the space has an open layout. This is one of my favorite places to grab lunch."

"Salmon lover bowl and brown sugar milk tea for the win! I'm so glad there's a poke bowl place less than 5 minutes from my apartment now. And I'm a huge fan of boba also, so it's nice to not have to drive all the way up to gong cha near Barnes and noble. The service was quick and friendly, prices are as expected, and the place was nice and clean. This place will definitely be in my rotation moving forward!"

"Exactly what you want (and a bit more) from a poke spot. My wife and I wanted poke the kids wanted chicken tenders and they had both! The food was a great as the service"
