One of the best poke places I have been to in New England so far including Boston. The Grilled Salmon is pretty high quality and tastes amazing; Tonkotsu ramen serves warm and so delicious; the passion fruit with coconut jelly is so nostalgic and authentic. I would come back for more if I have another visit to Portland!

We visited on a Saturday in mid-June 2025 for dinner.
There was basically no parking. I dropped wife off and circled around and idled the car until she was ready for me to pick up.
It was not super busy but there were other groups in there. I was driving so I was not able to get pictures of the food but my wife got some pics of the inside for me.
We ordered:
– Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl
– Creamy Salmon Poke Bowl
– Spicy Scallop Poke Bowl
– Winter Melon with Coconut Jelly Boba Milk Tea
Everyone said the poke bowls were amazing and they drank all the boba tea without even me getting 1 sip. I guess it was good.
Overall the price was acceptable for what we got and we’d probably visit again if we were in town and wanted some poke.

Staff were friendly and helpful. We tried two sushi burritos, the spicy scallop and spicy tuna. While they both were flavorful and delicious, I think it was not very filling and the concept is not very functional. As you eat the burrito, it is difficult to tear the seaweed with your bite and you ultimately squeeze out the contents of the burrito. The scallop had been cut in halves so there were significantly large pieces compared to the tuna. When I ate the scallop burrito, many large chunks fell out and it was unpleasant. Overall, the fish was very fresh and delicious so maybe opting for a poke bowl or other rolls would be a better option.

Crunchy Poke is fantastic! Super fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavorful customizable bowls. The salmon bowl with crunchy toppings is a standout. Quick service and a cozy vibe

Crunchy Poke is the best poke place I have been to in New England so far including boston. The fish most importantly is high quality and tastes amazing; similar in quality to other poke places in Boston, but priced much better. The other ingredients are also very good and prepared properly. Typical of New England, there are also many extra options available that wouldn’t usually be on authentic Hawaiian Poke, however, I do like the variety. (And if you want authentic you can choose not to add the extra items). Finally the price point is also good. Pictured is the regular sized poke bowl.

I came here as I was craving for poke bowl. You can build your own poke bowl and they have pen and paper at the counter. I built my poke bowl which is so delicious and just hit the point. I wanna try their other menus. They have limited seats and it can be busy during lunch times.

Pretty decent bowl, although not the most generous and the lobster had bits of shell in it. Nice at least to have a healthy option.
The room itself was on the warm side and the bathroom could have done with a clean. Service was slightly impersonal (you fill out your order on a paper template) but relatively efficient.

The service was incredible, they are very hard working and want to make sure everyone is satisfied. I love the hustle!
The ramen was good! I wish the noodles were thinner and next time I’ll add corn but the broth and the extra spice were delicious. So far, this is the best ramen in Portland I’ve tried. I’m on a mission to find out who makes the best but so far this is the top. I’ve tried 4 other places I won’t name. I have a few more to go but so far this is the best!
No doubt I’ll be back!!

We had lovely bowls. Mine was crab bowl and my husband’s was spicy tuna bowl. Loads of veggies. The crab bowl was supposed to be spicy but they toned it down at my request. Crab was tender and delicious. The spicy in the spicy tuna bowl was too spicy for my husband.
In the winter, oftentimes smaller restaurants on Fore Street are cold (no double doors). It was very comfortable!!
The decor was just okay. We clearly came for the food!
Getting to the restaurant was treacherous. While the sidewalks belong to the City of Portland, business owners, including Crunchy Poke, should take responsibility for clearing a path in the snow before it becomes too packed down/icy.
