While on a road trip, I found Pobu and am so glad we stopped!! Not only was the burrito sssooo good, but the owner was SO kind and funny. She made our day.
My husband’s poke bowl was also top notch.
No question: get in here and prepare for your taste buds to be very happy.
Pobu is on downtown Newark right on Main Street (westbound DE 273) a couple blocks from the University of Delaware. The restaurant itself is a small establishment with plenty of seating inside and pretty open spaced. As this place serves sushi-based items the kitchen is a prep station behind the counter in plain sight. The atmosphere is plain but functional and simple which works here.
The main offerings on the menu are poke bowls and sushi burritos. They have several “recipes” you can choose from or you can make your own combination as either a poke bowl or sushi burrito. For my visit I made my own sushi burrito with a mix of salmon and spicy tuna with other ingredients included focusing more on a “traditional” sushi taste as a sushi burrito is just a big maki roll after all.
The ingredients were plenty fresh and I very much enjoyed the sushi burrito I made. The nori did a very good job keeping the burrito together and I like that they use Scottish salmon for their salmon which I though was also very tasty. Soy sauce is served in packets right by the soda fountain…which I think is a slight downside for dining in. This leads to a critique I have where I’d like to see some small bottles of soy sauce on the tables and cups to put them in so you can dip your sushi burrito. The packets work well for the poke bowls but not for the sushiritos.
This is a great spot for a quick bite and if you happen to be in downtown Newark and wanting a quick sushi meal, Pobu is a good choice to check out.
I’m going to edit this because this was the first sushi burrito place i went to and since then i haven’t seen a sushi burrito as large and full as the one here and they deserve props for it for sure
