I wanted to try something new in Gainesville, and so I found Pokébowl Station. I ordered the Vegan of the Sea, which wasn’t the best combination of ingredients; however, the vegetarian chicken was so realistic and flavorful. Prices are a tad bit steep for $14 a bowl. 7/10.
I like their food but sometimes their fish tastes a bit weird, not sure if they always serve fresh fish. Also, they are very cheap with how much fish they put per bowl, like they use a small scoop of fish per bowl, I don’t know but I feel like it’s not enough for what’s supposed to be a meal. But I really do like the flavors of their dishes, I hope they can work on these things to make their place better. Also, sometimes their boba is not flavorful, at times it tastes very good and other times I could barely feel the flavor
Delicious! Been going here for three years. Amazing boba, portion sizes, vegetarian options, and customizability.
Ordered two signature poke bowls and two sparkling mojitos (mango and lychee). One of the poke bowls had a teriyaki sauce with chicken modified to a zucchini noodle base instead of rice and it was delicious, easily the most delicious teriyaki sauce I've ever had. There were lots of options for poke bowl toppings and all the toppings tasted great and refreshing. We don't usually come to midtown but I would make a special trip to come here again!
First time trying this restaurant through UberEats. I built my own bowl and ordered a Brulee buble tea. Everything was delicious! I tried the poke special sauce and it tasted similar to a yum yum sauce.
Best poke ever!! So much food and so perfect for the price. They don’t hold back.
This place has always been amazing and recently, it has not been living up to that image. I have been getting hot sushi rice served with every bowl that cooks the raw fish that sits on top of it. You cannot serve hot rice with raw fish. It is not safe! Also, they've increased their prices for the protein options and have been getting skimpier with overall portions. Not sure if the portions are being skimpy on purpose but unacceptable. Change is needed.
The boba and the milkshakes are both delicious. The vegetarian chicken is amazing. My bowl is one of the best things I've ever eaten
Ordered The Rain of Fire using DoorDash for the first time. I was unaware that they use raw fish until I ate some of it, had a suspicion and called the restaurant to check.I later realized that Poke-Bowls by definition use raw meat. I admit that my lack of culinary knowledge is to be blamed.However, having a warning by the side of each menu item or at the TOP of the menu which reads that "the items contain raw meat which increases the risk of food-borne illnesses" would make sense so that even people who aren't really aware of what "sushi" means know that they're getting raw fish. If not an upfront warning, I feel at least the menu item descriptions could read something like " Raw Tuna , Raw Salmon, red onion ....." for the benefit of those of us who are unaware of what Poke or Sushi is.Instead there's a virtually unnoticeable fine print at the very end of the menu which reads : "Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, eggs or unpasteurized milk may increase your risk of foodborne illness." How many people scroll to the very end of the page on a website ?DoorDash doesn't even seem to have that fine print for PB Station's menu!I understand that this might be the current norm with most Poke or Sushi places. I'm leaving this review in an attempt to change that in the future if possible.I had to throw away the entire order because I'm not comfortable with eating raw fish! And what's worse is that I ended up eating a considerable amount of raw fish without my knowledge.
Had the Salmon Breeze - excellent, healthy and fresh. Also tried a smoothie which was a lot better than I anticipated (feels like this place specializes in bubble teas).Cute little spot downtown that had ample seating and quality customer service.
