Big Fin Poke - South Portland

Delicious and fresh poke bowls! You can personalize your bowl with a wide range of options. The layout is similar to Chipotle or Subway with a build-your-own style. While it may not be the most budget-friendly meal, it is definitely packed with flavor and healthy ingredients. During my numerous visits, I have noticed that the staff here take their bowl-making very seriously, with a focus similar to a military operation - not much smiling or joking. The music played in the restaurant doesn't quite match the overall theme. Despite these minor gripes, I highly recommend this place to my friends for their tasty food.

I had never experienced poké before until recently and now I can't get enough of Big Fin Poke's food. Put simply, it is a sushi bowl. They do have gyudon beef, cooked shrimp and fried chicken bowls for those who are iffy on sushi. It's all delicious though and I always get a teriyaki musubi for my dessert. It is a little pricey, which is understandable. Two bowls, two musubis and a small tip bring the total just under 50$. I think it is actually a little cheaper to get one of their named bowls instead of making your own and adding the same ingredients? Either way, it is worth the price. Give them a shot, you won't regret it.

Wicked good pokebowls. Definitely the best I have had so far in New England!

The restaurant uses fresh ingredients and offers a wide selection of gluten-free options, clearly marked on the menu.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and enjoyed creating my own poke bowl. The staff wasn't very helpful with suggestions, but the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The dining area was clean, and I will definitely go back again.
