Poke Papa

Poke papa! Even though I didn't get to try their poke bowls, their food looked fresh and a lot of different toppings to choose from. I decided to try two drinks, both very different from each other. The oreo speedwagon was my favorite! Super creamy and not overly sweet. I also like the Brazilian Lime-bada but just wished it was more creamy. Overall their drink menu had a lot of interesting flavors and a large selection which was almost overwhelming. There's a lot of sitting available and although inside wasn't super busy at the time of my visit, there were a lot of takeout orders so keep this in mind. Overall I enjoyed the different options available for drinks and I can't wait to go back and try some of their limited drink options!

The expression goes "don't judge a book by its cover" but when it comes to poke bowls, I've always felt that you need to see the assembled product to understand what you're getting. The pictures paint this flavorful burst of colors, and the real thing does not disappoint. The k-pop bowl in particular looked and sounded delightful, personally being a big fan of Gochujang certainly helped a lot. Each bite had so much variety in flavor and texture, I was very happy!Having ordered this as delivery I cannot speak to the restaurant's ambiance or the quality of service except to say the bowl was heavily packed and the online pictures look great.

Stopped by for a quick bite before catching a movie nearby. I was craving poke, so I just searched for the closest poke place. Service was swift, and the poke bowl that I got was pretty good. It's definitely one of the more expensive poke places I've ever been to, and I'm hesitant to say that the food is worth the price, even though it was good. But to fulfill my craving, I was willing to do anything!

A fresh food option served fast, it was delicious. The place wasn't too busy and the workers kept busy cleaning so, I'm sure the health score extends beyond the food. I got a pretty decent portion for a few extra bucks compared to a fast food combo meal. I'd take it any day.

Pretty good Poke spot, we got delivery for a last minute dinner.The cost was $70 total for two 2-scoop bowls and one Poke Free Bowl.Lomi Homie - 3.5 starsSalmon very fresh & soft. Too much crab salad.Spicy Ahi, Lomi Salmon - 4 starsOverall good, sushi rice was nice if a bit hard. Spam Masubi - 3 starsWay, way, way too spicy!

6 stars if it were possible. I was staying in DC for a couple days. I had papa poke two out of the 3 days i was there. The ingredients were fresh. The service was prompt, especially with online ordering. Pricing wise, it seemed steep at first but you get so much food its so worth it. I would caution to only get like 1 sauce, 2 max. They tend to absolute douse the bowl so less is more here.

Best poke build I've ever done. They have tons of proteins to choose from. I got ceviche shrimp and shrimp. The choices for add ins were terrific. Then you pick crab salad or seaweed. You know I picked both no additional charge. The amount of toppings were also great like fried onions, tempura, Masago, Fujitake. The sauce selections. Chefs kiss!! I am headed there again now. lol.

Poke papa is a legit poke spot right in the heart of dc, not too far from the Verizon center. I'm going to start with the good:1) the ingredients here are high quality. Everything from the ahi tuna, salmon and imitation crab meat is a quality. 2) the manager here is a really cool dude. He's positive and he's always got a good attitude. I know he's been there for a while. 3) the place has a decent amount of tables if you want to eat in. The negatives: 1) it's definitely on the pricier side. It's $20 for medium bowl of poke so it's an upscale bite for sure. 2) the flavors are not great. The bowl doesn't really mesh well together and I think it lacks an overall taste component. There are a million sauces and it's hard to choose the right one. I got the wasabi shoyu, ginger and sweet chili. I think there was a lack of sauce for sure. Good service, good quality ingredients but again at $20 it's for me to give this any more than a 3/5 stars. Maybe the signature bowls are a decent option.

Visited Poke Papa today for lunch and had an amazing experience! I did a build your own bowl with white rice, and two scoops of protein. I got both the spicy tuna and ahi tuna, both were delicious. There are so many sauces to pick from, and I tried 4 different ones ($.25 each, worth it). I got multiple sprinkles on mine, and so many good veggies. I also got a Thai milk tea which was made to order and was so delicious.

The food was great tasting and fresh. The service was easygoing. The atmosphere was chill. Definitely would recommend
