Poke Loong — Restaurant in Raleigh

There are make your own poke/acai bowl forms by the door that you fill out and bring to the cashier, a ordering kiosk in the middle of the store you can use to order by yourself, or you could just order directly with the cashier. You can also order ahead online, or over the phone. The cashier helped add me to their rewards program while I was paying, all I had to provide was a phone number so I was able to earn points on my order. The poke bowl🥗 was fresh and healthy, with boba my meal was about $20, and I was able to split my bowl into 2 meals. I got a medium taro milk tea🧋 with 25% sugar, less ice, and normal brown boba. It was the perfect amount of sweetness, not too sweet and the boba was squishy and soft. I got a poke bowl with a half lettuce and half white rice base, unagi(eel) and cooked salmon as protein. Purple cabbage, edamame, and scallion mix-ins, with yum yum and extra eel sauce. Topped with sesame seeds, seaweed salad, masago(fish eggs), and crab meat salad. Something for everyone, poke bowls🥗 for salad and vegetable lovers, hot ramen🍜 for noodle and soup lovers, buns and rice balls🍙 if you just want a snack, and a fruit packed cold acai bowl for a sweet treat. For drinks they have customizable 🧋milk teas, 🧃fruit teas, and yogurt drinks, but they also have normal can sodas and bottled drinks as well. All poke bowl ingredients are laid out like at subway, so you can take a look or ask if you don't know an ingredient or sauce. They were also able to cook raw fish options (specifically salmon) when I asked. The eel sauce is great, but if you'd like control over the amount of sauce, you can ask for the sauce/s on the side, like I did. Overall a lot of customization options, just ask if your not sure...

We recently came back from our vacation in Hawaii, where we fell in love with acai bowls and poke bowls — fresh, flavorful, and full of life. Since we live in Raleigh, we wanted to keep that going and found this beautiful place. The restaurant is cozy, clean, and the presentation of the food is absolutely stunning — truly picture-perfect.

Unfortunately, the flavor didn’t live up to the look. The acai bowl had no real taste — I was honestly heartbroken after remembering how amazing they were in Hawaii. My husband reminded me that maybe the ingredients here are just different, so it’s not necessarily the restaurant’s fault. Still, it left me missing that tropical flavor so much.

If you’re looking for a pretty spot with great service and beautiful presentation, this place is lovely. But if you’ve just come back from Hawaii like us… your taste buds might still be on...

I love this place! If you’re looking for a good spot for asian food you can’t get many other places, this is the one. They have really yummy and healthy options. I have had a few flavors of the onigiri (my favorite is the Dancing Spicy Tuna Ball) they’re so fresh and delicious I crave them now, plus they’re HUGE. The pork belly buns are really tasty and I really want to try the poke bowls and ramen next time I go. The employees are friendly and cheerful, they make the experience pleasant and quick. I will be returning many times...
