Love the Poke Bowls here. I usually customize my own bowl but there are pre-customized bowls if you are in a hurry. My personal favorites drink at this place is the Boba green tea with cheese foam as the cheese helps accentuate the flavor creating contrast with the lightly flavored tea. The waffles are also terrific. Usually I order two different meats such as spicy salmon and shrimp for my Poke Bowl and include all the other toppings. Though overall, this is a great place to study, chill, or eat.

First time trying this restaurant through UberEats. I built my own bowl and ordered a Brulee buble tea. Everything was delicious! I tried the poke special sauce and it tasted similar to a yum yum sauce.

This place is my new Fav!! I ordered the S3 Trifecta w/ zucchini noodles.... You can also create ur own bowl by selecting protein, rice or noodles & various delicious accoutrements. I also got the green smoothie, yum-yum. I was delishilus & the best part is I felt great after eating it. I enjoyed it so much I went back the next day and got the same exact order again. The only downfall seem to be parking oh, that was a little tricky. Albeit, there is a parking garage there oh, I didn't really want to park just to pick up my food and leave as I was getting my order to go. Nevertheless well worth that small issue. Go try it for yourself the staff was friendly, the environment was Ultra Clean and the fish was the freshest I probably ever had. Love love love

A majority of good reviews about this place and my usual sushi spots were closed on Sunday at 4 pm, so my husband and I decided to get lunch here. We're from out of town and know that parking is rough here, like most downtown UF Gainesville food places without their own lot. We found a parking garage nearby for 5 per hour so we decided to be safe instead of sorry (aka illegal street parking). Parking garage is only a short 3-min walk from Pokebowl since they are around the corner from it. The place was packed. About 10 people dining in, and there was a line about 12 people long at the counter. Luckily, service was pretty fast (4 people behind the counter handling orders) and most of the customers were in groups of 2 or more. We waited about 10 minutes in the line until it was our turn to give them our order. I ordered a Salmon Breeze without cherry tomatoes with extra salmon. My husband wasn't interested in raw food, so he didn't order food and instead got 2 peach oolong teas. Order is prepared right in front of you behind a glass divider (imagine a poke bowl version of Chipotle or Fresh Kitchen) and you can request customized build-your-own meals as well. My food looked great and smelled fresh. We waited for the tea, which took another 5 minutes and paid for the order. Cost about 35 with tip. Place looks overall clean and they seem to be careful with food handling (gloves, separate spoons for things, sealed tea). My order tasted excellent and satisfied my fresh fish cravings without needing to find an eat-in sushi/sashimi place. If you don't mind waiting in line when it's busy or finding parking, highly recommend this place for a fresh healthy meal. There are vegetarian options if you're interested in those. I'd eat here again (maybe on a less busy day).

I got my order delivered with Uber Eats. My food was tasty, including my morning boost smoothie(avocado, mango, banana, and kale). I took thebpic after I poured my dressing on my salad. I got my "Create Your Own Poke Bowl": salmon (raw), cucumbers, avocado, pickled ginger, sweet corn, grape tomatoes, rice, lemon dill aioli & teriyaki sauces on the side. It's delicious...if you like sweet, vinegar, and lemon, you will like this bowl. They offer other food options that look tasty.

I love this place! Some of the best Poke in the area for sure. I always recommend one protein bowl with sushi rice and asking for double or anything you want. Kani salad, Edamame, masago, and seaweed salad are some of the best toppings imo. They are pretty generous with portions for a 9 bowl and I usually get the spicy tuna or salmon. Love this place and recommend it too bc it’s so close to campus!!!

Great poke spot. I built my own bowl and did a strawberry green tea and enjoyed the beautiful day in their outdoor seating. Definitely a nice spot for a lighter fare.

Im here again!! I’m sure this is the best bubble tea in Gainesville. I come here about 3 times a week just for the bubble tea. I’ve not tried other things here but it seems that they are popular too. Pokebowl is the only one that can make a bubble tea with black sugar on the wall, ice on the top and warm bubble at the bottom!! The only bubble tea store that can do this in China is Tiger Sugar, and here I have again TT The environment is well-lighted and clean. The waiter/waitress is always polite and cute. For me this is among the top3 restaurants in Gainesville
