In addition to the clean, crisp and fresh food, the portion of the Poke Bowl is perfection. Well worth the $16.00.

I ordered a three-topping bowl and enjoyed every bite of the seafood, egg-avocado salad, and other fresh, tasty ingredients. Just like every other location in this chain, this restaurant is clean and provides friendly, efficient service. Be sure to check in on Yelp for a complimentary miso soup or mochi. This location is conveniently situated right across from AMC Rio, which has plenty of movie options.

On the positive side, the toppings and sauces are delicious, offering a wide variety of options for a truly personalized bowl. However, I had a few concerns. First, the restaurant seems to always have air conditioning issues, relying on a separate cooling unit, which makes the atmosphere feel muggy and gives off an unpleasant smell. Additionally, I have doubts about the quality of the fish. When you request marinated tuna or salmon, they simply stir fresh fish in an old canister of soy sauce that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages. This doesn't feel like true marination, and I'm unsure how safe it is. I plan to return, but I'm hoping they can address these issues.

The flavors are exquisite. I will say, that Poki DC locations in general have beenskimping a bit on the raw fish as of late. The portion sizes are about half of what they once were. Aside from that,magnificent.

Tables were not clean, they were sticky. Mens bathroom out of order, womens bathroom now unisex, no soap, no paper towels,filthy! When I turned on the light, several live COCKROACHES running around; few dead ones. Floor filthy. Health Dept needs toassess and close til they clean up this restaurant.
