This place is simply OFF THE CHARTS!! The food and service is exceptional! The staff is always so friendly and never fails to have a smile on their face!! My girlfriend and I absolutely love going to this place! I myself don’t care too much for poke, but their grilled chicken poke bowl is off the charts! And if you still don’t want poke, their crab Rangoon’s are to die for!! Shoot, we drove an hour over here today in a whim just to have some!! 100/10 recommend this place!!

Poke River has quietly become my go-to meal spot after late-night BJJ sessions — that perfect post-roll mix of clean fuel and comfort. There’s something deeply satisfying about walking in after training, getting a warm welcome, and knowing I can grab a Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito that hits every craving in one bite.
What does American culture do best? Blend the best of other worlds — and this place nails it. It’s sushi meets burrito in the best way possible: fresh tuna, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and just enough kick to keep things interesting. Pair that with a bottle of unsweetened green tea (balance) or a bubble tea (reward), and you’ve got yourself a ritual.
The staff’s energy is consistently friendly and low-key, the food always fresh, and the vibe unpretentious — exactly what you want when you’re decompressing after training. Whether you’re refueling or just craving something fast that still feels alive and crafted, Poke River delivers every time.

My favorite restaurant in Evansville! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I have lived cross country and this is always my first stop when I would come home! I’ve had poke in Hawaii and the topping selection at most places was limited compared to Poke River! They have so many topping options and most do not cost extra. Everything is very reasonably priced! I do a build your own bowl and add spicy salmon & ahi tuna and it is always fresh and delicious! My boyfriend raves about their crab rangoons! They also have delicious bubble tea options! My favorite is coconut flavor, less sweet, and tapioca pearls. It’s awesome they let you pick sweetness levels! The staff are so friendly! They always greet us with a smile! I love this place so much!
I love spicy foods, if you do too, try my bowl! My poke order: brown rice, spicy salmon & ahi tuna, mango, edamame, corn, poke special, wasabi mayo, jalapeños, seaweed salad, crab salad, pickled radishes, cilantro, wasabi, ginger, and seaweed flakes! It’s so much it can make 2 meals! If you haven’t been, go support this business!

The ingredients are so fresh & delicious. This family owned business is always so kind & makes you feel welcome. Since we discovered this gem, my husband and I have gone at least once a week for these poke bowls. Very reasonably priced for all the fresh ingredients!

The ingredients were pretty lovely and tasted fresh. I do feel like the sauce was a bit too sweet for me though. The bowls were around 15-17$ for one which is a bit expensive considering that other places nearby were only charging around 12-13$. Furthermore, the portion is only average so I feel like the food is a bit more on the expensive side. Even though the food was enjoyable, it was a bit deceiving that some items were labelled as crab but it ended up being crab sticks only. I love the idea of being able to get bubble tea while buying the food, I find that a great idea but the bubble tea itself wasn’t great. It was definitely too sweet and felt like drinking a powdered drink too much for me. Plus, there were so little popping bubbles that were served with the drink.

A really nice place to eat. Simple ordering at the back with the menu in the wall. Some of the choices are assembled right there. Ramen, Udon, Sushi, all very good. Service was very polite and the food was ready quickly. The simple atmosphere was very pleasant and fun.

A little off the beaten path you’ll find this Asian gem tucked into an unassuming strip mall. I got the pork ramen based on a review photo and it was excellent. Some wild cuts of meat in there that tasted like a combination of pork roast and bacon. Also got the fried pork gyoza, which was great as well. Plenty of room to sit inside, but I noticed most people were grabbing and going. Either way, an inexpensive dive dive into some authentic flavor. The manager/owner swung by and was very proud that the broth cooked all day with some bones in there for flavor… well played sir. It works. Enjoy!!
