Although this place is literally called "Poke"man and does sell Poke, this store is more known for their boba. By far the best boba shop in University City with so many selections from yogurt based drinks to fresh herbal fruit teas. I'm a huge fan of their lychee freeze and want to come back to try their matcha milk tea (hot) which I heard taste amazing on a cold winter day.

Poké-Man offers a varieties of options for poke bowls and more. The food is extremely fresh and the quality is first rate. I ordered a Create Your Own Deluxe Poke Bowl which came with a choice of 3 proteins. You have your choice of 10 mix-ins to choose from, and double the amount of toppings. The taste was great. The portion was a little smaller than compared to its competitors, and they need to designate which items are gluten-free. If those two were corrected, I would have given Poké-Man 5 stars. I look forward to ordering from them again-

Really love this "passion fruit + lime green tea"! It tastes really refreshing after a meal. I added grass jelly & nata jelly, and then milk form on top! Highly recommend to add milk form & jelly (or boba) into any of their fruit drink!! You will have two different types of drink to taste from one cup: fresh fruity drink & milk tea drink. Definitely will come back to try their other fruit tea drinks!!

I usually don't write a review after just a single visit, but the item that I ordered, while good, I would not get again, which is why I'll do an initial review now, and will update in the future. I stopped in on a Friday evening with my partner to order dinner, and I probably should have expected that COVID safety would make some aspects of the experience different than the norm - you can't see the ingredients behind the glass because that area is blocked off. But they have a nifty iPad style ordering station where you can choose and customize your order options, and you get a text message when your order is ready (about 15 minutes). The entire ordering process was quick and easy, and theservice was prompt. . Since I couldn't find reviews for the poke burrito option, of course that was what I had to get so I could be different. I wanted to compare which of the tuna options was best, so I got both, and plenty of veggie add-ins too, with the Pokeman special sauce. So, what is a poke burrito like? I probably should have guessed, but it's basically like a gigantic sushi roll. The seared cajun tuna was definitely better than the ahi, and the vegetables (edamame, red cabbage, cucumber, carrots) were all great. T]he poke burrito is not a great vehicle for the sauce - I barely tasted any so I added a bit of my own stash of soy sauce and ground black pepper to boost the flavor. My partner got the standard tofu poke bowl option and liked it a lot, though the serving size was a bit small for him. The portion of the poke burrito was perfect for me, though I wouldn't get it again because as far as sushi, I've had better, and I think going with the classic option will work best here. Sometimes being different just for the sake of it doesn't work out as interestingly as you hope it will. I'd really rate the experience more like a 3.5 stars, but I have great expectations for next time- stay tuned.
