Go Poké

Delicious poke spot located in Ballston Quarter food hall. Their menu options included poke bowl with 2 scoops of protein ($16), 3 scoops of protein ($19), and vegetarian bowl ($13). Tons of protein options! Several different types of salmon and tuna, as well as cooked proteins like eel and beef. I originally thought the price was steep, but you get unlimited toppings in the bowl! I asked for just about everything on top, and it was filled up the brim! Overall great portion size, but keep in mind how much protein you want. The Aloha Tuna (fish sauce, ginger, garlic marinade) was the stand out to me! So flavorful and the tuna melted in your mouth.

I don't remember what we put in the bowls but it was delicious! It is in the food court at the bottom floor of the Ballston Mall. There was plenty of spots to find a seat inside and out but it is a bit noisy since it's a mall. It was quick and easy to order food and go. If it wasn't in such a busy area I would go again.

Um everything I want in a poke bowl and then some is right here. They give you great sized portions, fresh meat and ample toppings! Service is fast and pleasant and they're in the Ballston quarter mall food court. Very clean spacious area with multiple food options!

Big portions but also more expensive than other locations. But the complaint here is that this is quite possibly one of the worst pokes I've ever eaten. I would much rather walk a few blocks to Poke It Up for poke.My biggest problem is the salmon. I got the soy glazed salmon (or whatever their most popular one is) and while the sauce was fine, I was thrown off by the weird, gummy like texture of the salmon - not sure if this was the result of it being too cold or if it wasn't fresh, but because they were cut into super tiny pieces (about 1 cm cubed), it was hard to get a good gauge. I also tried the spicy salmon, which was... 99% mayo and 1% sriracha. And there was just so much sauce, so it just felt like I was eating salmon drenched with lots and lots of mayo - definitely not it for me.The toppings were OK for the most part. I liked the sweeten/glazed tofu skin strips, seaweed salad, and crab salad. I didn't like the masago or spicy crab salad too much. But overall, the fish quality and flavors will make or break it for me, and I was disappointed with the salmon at Go Poké this past Wednesday for dinner.

Lucky find on a quick business trip. Wish we had a shop like this back home! Reasonably priced for the serving size and all the toppings. I enjoyed being able to customize my bowl with the various base choices plus toppings. It was a bit too large for lunch or light dinner - this is not a complaint, just a lot of food for the money. Service was fast and friendly. The food court atmosphere was cute and clean. I got the smaller protein option with a ton of toppings. Very yummy for my tummy!

Stopped in to check them out for something small, mostly because they have the word "Hawaiian" in their description. Ordered a miso soup, one scoop of rice, and a bottled water. It seems the don't do the Hawaiian "one scoop rice" as I got an entire container. Which would have been ok except the rice was barely cooked. Which means it wasn't really done. It wasn't crunchy but lots of the rice was more than chewy which wasn't that pleasant. They added seaweed, tofu, and green onions to the soup from the bar and it looked terrific. It started like miso soup but even with the adds was bland. The reason it's getting four stars is the food on their bar looks beautiful and fresh. If I still ate seafood I would have been drooling over their options. Also their bowls are huge! I watched them make a few and they do it with precision and care. Everything looked really clean too which is a plus. So although their miso soup and rice was not exciting, the rest of their options looked really good, and due to the other reviews must be. Don't want to knock them for their soup and rice since it may just be my taste buds and preferences.

We have never had anything but amazing experiences here. It is pretty pricey (they recently increased their prices) but in my opinion, still worth it! It is two meals for me given they are EXTREMELY generous in their toppings. The sushi is normal amounts but they are so kind and not stingy at all. All of the employees are the nicest restaurant employees I have ever interacted with.

Wow- excellent lunch! It was really delicious. I got the smaller bowl with two proteins which was huge! I loaded up with lots and lots of the additions on top of my half and half base (brown rice and kale). Different sauces at the beginning and at the end added flavor and kept it interesting. I got this lunch (and dinner) down with a pass-o-grave juice. Haven't had one in long time. Perfect! Not cheap but worthy of the splurge. I highly recommend.

We came to Ballston and my husband was excited to show us all the restaurants, one of which is Go Poke, where he eats fairly often. We got 2 bowls and the Staff was friendly, offering multiple samples as we ordered. The bowls were fresh and the tuna was high quality. Great flavor, nice people. We highly recommend!

The service was quick, but the food was a little disappointing. It did not taste very fresh and the sauces lacked flavor.
