I am going through the previous reviews, and I am kind of surprised by the mixed reviews. Some complaints of small portions from their Uber eats.... maybe your driver had a snack. My portion was a medium order and was enough to fill me up, and then some. Others complaining about no bathroom or hand-wash area.... some places have gone away from this due to the misuse and lack of care to their facilities. Their is a large bottle of hand sanitizer right as you walk up to the counter if you're truly that worried. As for my food? It was fantastic. 👏🏼 I have never been here until now. The man behind the counter was very informative on what all the sides and toppings were, walked me through my entire order. He was very kind. The flavor of this bowl was outstanding. The chunks of tuna were also large for being in a poke bowl. They have many different sauces that other poke places don't have. They only thing I could recommend is to have actual Wasabi available. Good stuff! Will definitely...
Read moreI’ve been a loyal customer of Joy Poke for the last year because their poke bowls are consistently fresh, flavorful, and customizable to exactly what I’m craving. The fish quality is great, and the portions are good, even if the prices have crept up a bit over time.

I considered sitting outside instead, but the outdoor tables usually have bugs crawling on them, which isn’t much better. So now, I order to-go and enjoy my bowl at home. Still love the food, just wish the dining experience felt as welcoming...
Read moreI've been going to Joy Poke for a solid 4 years. Unfortunately as of late, there is a 40+year old woman working behind the counter with the worst customer service I've experienced in the Portland area. This experience has occurred three times now. No greeting when entering the store, will look at you and walk in the back, and I when placing your order, she has the most flat affect and zero customer service skills. I watched someone come in to pick up an order and she just pointed to the bag and walked in the back. I've had great experiences from every employee here, but she is by far the worst and should NOT be customer facing. If she's working, I will turn around and walk out and drive over to Mio Sushi for a 10/10 customer service and a more pleasant attitude. Management needs to be aware of...
