neither poke nor chirashi. my tuna bowl was hudson river seaweed salad with scrapes of fish. very very disappointing. this was supposed to be one of the best poke spots in nyc and i could not stomach more than a few bites.

We really wanted to like this place, and it was only okay. We tried 4 different bowls but none of them wowed us. The fish was good quality but for the price, we didn’t leave full, and they didn’t even offer water without buying a bottle.

Great restaurant for a quick and delicious bowl !
I was recommended this place by a friend and he swears by it. I ended up getting the roasted black cod bowl. He got is go to roasted unagi. I tired his and it was very good and had a slight sweetness to it. The cod was also very delicious and flavorful. I would recommend going for a quick easy and very tasteful meal ! I will return.

I LOVE poke and wanted to like this spot, but the food was just meh. It didn’t taste especially fresh, and the flavor profile just didn’t really hit the spot for me. No service to speak of either; the guy at the register wasn’t friendly.

One of the best things in life is a poké bowl and it’s safe to say Chikarashi knows how to enjoy life! Nowhere in New York compares to the many poké spots along the west coast and in Hawai’i but this comes close. The seafood is quite fresh and a great spot for a quick takeout lunch on a work day. And if you’re in for a sweet treat, they have Dole whip!

I haven’t been back here for awhile but this is one of the few places that serve bluefin tuna poke bowls. They also have a flight of 3 if you want to try different bowls though I still think the bluefin tuna is the best one.

4.5 / 5.0 – I was in Chinatown and stopped by late afternoon for a late lunch at this casual, counter-service poke spot.
It was nice and clean inside, with seating available along the walls.
I chose the Ponzu Salmon ($18+), which had salmon, avocado, cucumber, shiso, tobiko and katsuo panko.
It came with wasabi ponzu, which I asked for on the side because I do not like wasabi. The staff was insistent that the wasabi flavor was mild, but I simply do not like the flavor and ended up eating most of the bowl without it.
The bowl itself was delicious and I especially loved the flavor that the shiso added.
Chinatown isn’t the first place you’d think of for Hawaiian cuisine, but I’d recommend trying if you like poke.

The food is fresh and large portions. What blows my mind about this place is the fact that they leave the bones in the fish. A – very dangerous to eat. B – this is a fast casual place and if you have to pick out bones and make a mess to eat, this is no longer casual or fast. Don’t order anything with bones as it will ruin your experience and is a complete turnoff from coming back here. Also, they don’t serve tap water for customers. You have to buy their overpriced water that comes in glass bottles or be thirsty while you dine in.

I’ve only ever been to the location once but I’ve ordered many times, and it’s absolutely delicious.
Negitoro and tuna chirashi bowls especially.
Fresh, full, and delicious.
Keep on keeping on, Chikarashi!
