Poke Bros. - Barrington Road — Restaurant in Schaumburg Township

Although we did enjoy the food, one of the employees at this particular location has a very bad attitude. The first time that she prepared our bowls, she was adding ingredients that I did not ask for…. so I did ask her to start over because unfortunately she was not paying attention. We are regular customers. This particular evening when we went in this same associate was preparing my bowl and did not agree with the ingredients that I was choosing and she vocalized it to me. I was simply shocked. She then did not provide us with a receipt. When my husband asked her for the receipt she told us we would have to wait because the screen already exited. The screen did not exit on it’s own, she exited the screen…. we saw her. She then made us wait for the next customer to check out before providing us our receipt. I actually told the other associate who was there, who is a always a very nice person (and I am hoping is the manager) that the place is going to lose business because of this girl’s poor attitude.

My first time trying Poke Bros. and I'm so disappointed. I love Poke and have had it many times at local places. I'm guessing maybe because it's a chain the fish itself is lacking, and seems to be the lowest grade farm-raised salmon.

There was SO MUCH sauce on it that all it tasted like was slightly flavored mayo and rice, all the other flavors were completely overwhelmed by my bowl of mayo that was nearly $16. My sister had mentioned she had a similar experience when visiting a location, but with all the locations popping up I thought it was a one off and I decided to try it anyways. Oh well, you never know unless you try and everyone has different tastes, but this...

We love sushi, so we thought we'd give this place a whirl and we're glad we did! I ordered The Duke and my wife got the Johnny Utah but asked for "spicy" salmon and jalapenos to make it spicy (it still wasn't spicy at all, fyi). They don't limit your toppings or charge you extra for adding additional, which was really nice. The bowls are prepared right in front of you and the ingredients look fresh, though the avocado was blackened and a bit mushy. The gal that helped us was patient and knowledgeable. We also got 6 flavors of mochi to test- I loved the Red Bean, wife loved the Salted Carmel. This is a healthy and fresh meal option- albeit pricey- and definitely something worth a try if you're in the mood for salad and sushi and can't decide which you...
