Poke World - Southaven — Restaurant in Southaven

I ordered my bowl online & paid for it then. I picked it up 20 minutes after I ordered it. My kids had fallen asleep in the car & I didn’t want to wake them to go inside & I definitely didn’t want to leave them in the car, so I called & asked if someone could meet me at the door since I was parked right in front of it so I could stay close to my car & not wake the babies… the guy was super nice & said he’d just bring it to my car so I didn’t have to even get out - much appreciated!

I was waiting to get home to eat my bowl, but I snacked on my edamame while I was driving home. I get home, open my bowl & instantly knew something wasn’t right. It just smelled off. I thought maybe it was just me, because it looked fine, so I started mixing things around & then I noticed the cucumbers & jalapeños were both bad. It was pretty obvious & they definitely knew, because the worst ones were kind of buried so you couldn’t see them immediately when you looked at the bowl. The cucumbers were floppy, slimy & see through. Jalapeños were floppy & brown. The fish looked fine, but there was an odd smell that I don’t believe was the fish, but how am I supposed to trust the RAW fish is safe to eat if they’re knowingly putting obviously bad vegetables in bowls? I wasn’t going to risk it. If they’re not following proper food guidelines or getting rid of cheap vegetables like cucumbers, I’d be inclined to believe there’s no way they’re getting rid of the (what should be)...

Great experience, great ramen!! Finally got to stop in for dinner, My family and I have been waiting for them to open the public and after getting the opportunity to dine-in we were pleased with our decision. Ramen lovers this is the place to be!! My wife and daughter choose the chicken ramen and I went with the Tonkatsu Black. Chicken ramen has: chicken broth, chicken chashu, spinach, green onions, soft boiled egg, green sprout, and fried onions. Tonkatsu Black has: pork bone broth, black garlic oil, nori dried seaweed, too with chashu pork belly, soft boiled egg, scallions, sweet corn, bamboo shoots, garlic paste, fried onion, and Fish cake. (Yeah that’s a lot is stuff right there.)

As for the ramen, both chicken and tonkatsu black were delicious and throw in three or more spoons of chili oil and get ready to leave full and satisfied!!

They only offer the boba style drinks( milk tea), or water. Which is fine, I’m just not familiar but that style of drinks enough to know what to order.🤷‍♂️ So yeah, I will do my best to educate on that and maybe next time I’ll try the Boba teas and report back.

The biggest plus on their wonderful meals is their location and that the fact that those of us who reside in DeSoto County do not have to go up into Memphis to get wonderful Ramen they also offer poke bowls which I shall soon try and I will review them...

This is a long one...im sorry 🤣 Service was great but I do have some criticisms I will cover later. Ramen was amazing but the chicken ramen should specify that it's fried chicken. My wife was under the assumption it would be sliced like my pork ramen was. The soy garlic wings were great. I normally like my wings fried hard but that didn't affect the flavor. The buns were great as well. Tried all three and the pork and fried chicken were my favorites. The slushies had an amazing flavor. They can be a bit sweet so you may want to try half sugar or the zero sugar option if you are watching your sugar levels. On the service, I highly recommend putting one employee in the line to assist with orders. On my visit there were enough people working to have one person help with orders periodically. I witnessed at least 4 people walk out due to confusion of people in front of them not knowing what to order. I believe that this would be a major quality of life change that could help the business. I had at least 2 people approach me as the customer asking what to order and we had to explain to them it was our first visit too. We could only recommend what we were eating. Still a great experience and we will be back again to...
