Poketo — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

The food tastes really good! But they have raised their prices and they are giving smaller portions of everything now; toppings included. The girl behind the counter doesn't even fill up the bowl.. so I'm paying more for a bigger size that isn't even full. Before they raised the price I used to get bowels that were actually full. While I was on the line waiting, I kept hearing the customer before me ask for more stuff and I was wondering why. It was almost every item he was asking for more. When she got to my order ---it made sense. The good still tastes great, but if you are going to increase your prices and give less food on top of that.. what is the point? Anytime I asked for more of anything she literally counted what she gave me or said I already gave you it. They don't even fill up the serving spoon. Such a disappointment. Will have to venture out to see if there's another...

Poketo in Merrick is a great spot for fresh and satisfying poke bowls! I tried their poke bowl, and it was delicious. The portion was generous, packed with fresh ingredients, and well-balanced in flavors. Everything tasted super fresh, from the fish to the toppings, and the sauces complemented the dish perfectly without overpowering it.

The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth experience. While I only had the poke bowl, it was definitely worth it, and I’d come back to try more from their menu.

If you’re a poke fan and looking for a spot with quality ingredients and large portions, Poketo is a solid choice! Tryi it - you...

My friend who goes there often that they know her took me for my first time & the person behind the counter remembered me a week or 2 later when I took my mom there (she asked where my friend was). She kept pushing for seafood items that I had to politely decline each time (we were sharing a burrito & my mom doesn't care for seafood items). They have yuzu & ponzu which is AWESOME! (It's basically soy sauce cut with either lemon or lime juice) *Warning: There is a overpowering fish smell if you are taking it to go that will linger for a bit, it does disappear but was jarring to have that in your face in the car. I'll update my review some time in the future mom is interested in getting a scallop...
