Poke Zest — Restaurant in New York

Not accommodating to vegetarians - bad experience. I asked for an egg as my protein instead of a meat or fake meat and they wanted to charge me extra even though a protein is included with every bowl. They should really place egg under the protein section for people who are vegetarians but don’t eat processed meat. Makes no sense that as a vegetarian it would cost me $0 to put tuna, chicken or tofu on my bowl but if I want an egg instead they want to charge me extra. They also told me I could switch the meat out for avacado but not an egg which is strange, again just not accommodating to vegetarians. I understand paying for an extra protein on top of another one but including one protein should not be an extra charge especially when every bowl includes a protein...

Came across this restaurant in Greenpoint, Brooklyn while walking down Manhattan Street. I was greeted by friendly staff upon arrival. and gave many suggestions Because I'm not familiar with this menu. The restaurant was very clean and I felt comfortable eating inside. All tables and counters were spotless. prepared in front of me All fresh ingredients It is a popular place to find fresh fish, raw fish, and various varieties. There is a wide variety of drinks to choose from and even water with lemon at no charge. I will definitely come back to stay again. The food was excellent. And the staff are...

Sad to see that service has significantly decreased.

While food was somewhat similar as before (though had a slightly odd soapy taste), I had to wait 15 min as the worker figured out how to bring the card reader back online.

She also didn’t seem to speak English fluently, which made it difficult to communicate. Not to mention that she was on her phone when I walked in and didn’t help as I was trying to remember how to order.

While I was willing to wait, as I was craving poke and liked the idea of fast food (turned out to be quite slow), I’d reconsider next time I’m out looking for food...
