I was excited to try this new place and it did not disappoint! It is different for sure but that is what I love. I enjoyed the [healthy] filling salad I was able to order. Between my husband and I we tried the salmon, tuna, and shrimp and a lot of toppings. Everything was fresh and it was nice to try new flavors! We had some samples of boba tea and it was really good too! The little boba bubbles(?) were fun. I will be back! (I actually finished eating before thinking to take a picture, so that was a friends bowl... and I want to go back and get it too.)
Generous portions and helpful staff. My wife and I can easily make two meals out of a large bowl. It's rare that a restaurant hits all three of my dining criteria; tasty, healthy and relatively cheap. Johnathan was especially helpful.
I got the tuna bowl with pretty much everything including the hot mix of three suggested sauces, mango, radishes, edamame, masago & tobiko - it was one of the best things I've eaten in a while!!! I am not sure why I would eat another sushi roll when I can eat this! I wish they would add more vinegar & sugar to the sushi rice as it was a bit dry and of course I skipped the fake crab, but I will definitely be back!
I was so excited to try Pokémoto, especially after the Hawaiian Poké place I used to frequent regularly closed. However, I am severely disappointed, and can't believe how much it cost for a build your own salad and a build your own poké bowl. We ordered larges and neither bowl was full, it was half of the bowl if even.
They use pickle tongs to pick up the ingredients, which meant I found maybe two pieces of mango in my poké bowl. They barely put any of the dressing on, and to be honest I didn't even see any of the tempura flakes on my bowl. The salad had barely any dressing as well, and barely any chicken. I'm not exaggerating there was probably a soda bottle lid worth of chicken. The girl who took our order kept saying we wanted three poké bowls, despite stating multiple times we wanted a salad and a poké bowl.
The order had to be repeated multiple times before it was understood what we were ordering. The manager even came up, and asked what we were getting, and didn't say a thing about how little food we had or the non existent toppings. By time it was all said and done, it was not worth the hassle of saying anything to them. I really hope that Pokémoto works out their issues, because their food was actually not bad and they have real potential. However, I can go anywhere else in town and get more food for a lot less money.
I will say their bubble tea is actually good however, I do think $5 is a little pricy for a small bubble tea. You can get bubble tea at Noodle Bowl for $3.50 and it's really good! I can't remember if it's the same size or larger, but I recommend it.
Unfortunately, my mom was only took a picture of her salad from the side. However, this shows what a large is.
So delicious! Everything is so fresh and the colors make a beautiful dish! The portions were big and the flavors were so good. There are so many protein, toppings and crunch options to choose from. I love that you can custom design your meal and the options are unlimited. Im so excited Oxford has a poke option in town.
Even my picky eaters created bowls they loved ~ kid friendly is a win!
The Boba teas are amazing too. If you haven’t tried Boba, you have to try it!!
