What User doesn't like about Pokeworks:
The staff were not helpful in informing me about which sauces were vegan. One employee even advised me to avoid seaweed. Additionally, the restaurant was low on ingredients and still charged me $15. View all feedback. What User likes about Pokeworks:
I ordered food through Grubhub, but unfortunately they were experiencing technical difficulties. We had to go to the restaurant during a busy lunch rush with a group order for 8 people. The staff at the grand central location were amazing. Special thanks to Barbara for being so helpful and wonderful. She is a real asset to the team! View all feedback.

The team at this restaurant is extremely polite, kind, and helpful. The food is excellent, but the staff is even better.

The staff is very friendly and efficient. Pokeworks is a quick 2-minute walk from Grand Central. I will definitely be returning.

This was the best Poke Bowl Large (3 Proteins) I have ever had. It was fresh and delicious.

My poke bowl did not have enough sauce and the fish did not taste fresh because the preparation and delivery took too long.

The food is pretty good, solid value, but the included chopsticks are probably the worst quality ive ever gotten.
