Blowfish Poke & Grill

Blowfish is a small shop inside of Bryant Street Market. The market has different style eateries including burgers, boba, dumplings, tacos, a fried chicken spot and even a bar. I am super grateful that they added poke here because it makes it very convenient since there's not really another poke place in NE DC. Things that I loved here included the portion size for the cost I thought was great. The associate working there was kind and I appreciated all of the toppings that they offered. I also love that they have the Hawaiian Sun drinks because they are delicious. What I didn't love as much was the sauce. They lacked good flavor and there weren't many options. I thought the spicy mayo tasted a little weird and the only other topping that I got was sriracha. It was just very basic when I'm used to other poke places having a wide array of sauces. Since the sauce wasn't very good I feel like the bowl didn't properly come together. Also they counted the crab as a fish option instead of a topping :/I'll come back to Blowfish if I'm really in the mood for poke and didn't want to go very far.

Definitely not authentic hawaiian food, more americanized. Rice for everything is undercooked, sauce for tonkatsu isn't great, hawaiian fried chicken was good though. Poke bowls were ok, but rice for everything is dry and hard. Definitely not a place for authentic food, kinda pricey but i guess the location has to do with it. Located in a food hall, you must get street or garage parking. Will not return

For those who don't know this is located inside of the bryantStreet food HallI got a regular bowl , cost $17Two scoops of protein which were for me tuna and salmonThey have a different type of base called purple rice which I tried and mixed it with regular greens The rice was a bit on the dry sideI got all of the toppings except cilantro with a Sriracha sauce list including pineapple edamame cucumberThe major issue I have with this place aside from the bland and dry rice was the service. The girl at the counter is clearly overworked and was not pleasantAlso beware of the parking situation. I came on a Sunday which means parking in the district is free but the market itself has a lot which is right in front of it and there are signs everywhere that say that they will tell if you don't pay which is monitored by camera. Not wanting to pay and not wanting to take a chance I parked on the street. Think that's a bit ridiculous given where the location is and that this is a shopping area. Whatever the need is for charging for parking negates the fact that people are in and out. I might come back to try out the taco place

Service was not extremely slow. Was hoping to grab a quick bite but took way longer. Food was just average and very salty. The venue is pretty.

If you don't like their Poke all I gotta say is do yourself a favor and just get their Mochinuts! I didn't eat here I bought the mochinut I got cherry and strawberry flavor. SOOOO FLIPPINNN GOOOOD! Flavors are bursting and delicious. Texture is the same as all other mochinuts that yummy chewy flavor. My favorite was the strawberry flavor.

This place is in a food court with several other restaurant counters. It's a great place to go while you are waiting for you Fever experience or movie to start, meet up with friends, or just be in the AC with wi-fi for awhile to relax and get a snack. There were tables, bar tables, and comfy chairs around little tables. I wanted to try mochi-doughnuts, so we each got a different flavor. They were okay. Not amazingly chewy like I expected, but fun to eat and not too expensive. I got chocolate frosting w/sprinkles and he got strawberry- his was better.

Really love this fast casual at the Bryant Street Food Hall. The food is delicious, filling and well-priced. I love that you can customize your poke bowls. It is also beautifully presented. I had a long day at work and was delighted to find an orchid blossom in my Hawaiian General Tao's chicken this evening. I definitely recommend rounding out your meal with the Ube or black sesame Mochi donuts- yum!!!

This is new in the Bryant Street Market so I think they have a lot more to figure out. I was a bit disappointed coming here. I can understand the long time for service as they figure it out, but I think the food should've been tested more beforehand. I got the Mochiko Chicken, which my friend described as "mall-food chicken". It was okay but it didn't really wow me. The macaroni salad on the side was mid and the french fries... idk what was wrong with them but they were like soggy and a little raw (and had 0 salt on it). One of my friends got the poke ball and didn't like it either.

Located inside the Bryant Street Market, a food hall on the bottom of an apartment building just off the Metropolitan Branch Trail, Blowfish Poke and Grill is the first food stand to open. Their menu is Hawaiian and serve a variety of dishes from poke to spam rolls. I ordered the spam musubi, which comes with two but in halves. It was tasty! To finish, I got the churro donut. The taste and texture were excellent!

3.5 stars! Came for dinner on a Friday excited to try a new Poke place. I made my own bowl with salmon and tuna which was overall not bad. I'm not sure they marinade the fish and they dont offer a ton in terms of sauces or extra flavors. The cabbage is huge! Recommend skipping the cabbage otherwise your bowl will feel more like a salad. Definitely recommend the purple rice which has a unique granola-esque flavor to it Ask for extra rice and extra toppings otherwise your bowl will be quite small. The toppings are unlimited! It is definitely not the best poke place in town but what it loses in flavor it makes up for in service! Our server was so kind and friendly and polite! I have a feeling lines here will be long as getting a bowl was on the slower side. Overall I would definitely come back. Decent bowl at a decent price with nice friendly service.
