Eug K

Great values , BYOB , and great food and staff . Gets super busy so don’t be surprised if you have to put your name down and wait at the bar across the street awaiting Poke to give your phone a ring.

Joe Medved

Inexpensive , excellent sushi + BYOB . Grab wine at Yorkshire Wine on 1st b/w 85th & 86th St, and cash at the ATM across the street at Ryan's Daughter. Cash only .

Heather PG

Amazing, get the truffle roll , dynamite, and spicy spider rolls . BYOB , put your name in and wait across the street at Ryan's Daughter, they'll even chill your wine while you wait. Poke will call you

Ashley Chan

Fun, lowkey place that would be good for a casual date or big groups. This place is BYOB with delicious rolls that are decently priced. Could get noisy & packed, so try to come early or on a weekday.

Nikki ????

Obsessed with the spicy miso soup . I love it so much I usually order 2! And their sushi rolls are all delicious and fresh tasting. Plus it's byob so it's not an expensive dinner !

Anya

The best sushi place in the UES! My favorite rolls here:Manhattan Roll, spicy tuna roll , poke roll and spicy scallop roll ! Give it a try :)

Lane Rettig

Overrated and overpriced. The sushi is good but portions are small, the appetizers uninspiring. Full of loud drunk white people, if that's your thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brian B

Consistently great sushi , friendly service , and the perk of BYOB . It does get crowded and loud so try to get there on the early side.

Ali M.

The food at Poke is excellent! Try the gyoza and save room for the specialty rolls - they're delicious! FYI, Poke is cash only .

Tatiana Hirsu

Fresh and very tasty, but the rolls are getting smaller and smaller, and the prices are going up

Jordan Krum

Sushi quality was unbelievable and the owner (BJ) is the man. Order The Bomb and I promise you will not regret. A true UES gem.

Abbie Stevenson

Red Dragon roll = amazing. This place was packed on Thursday and sushi place are a dime a dozen, so that says a lot in Manhatten. Great service, great food

Mar Sal

My favorite sushi in NYC. Everything I've tried has been perfect. One of the greatest things about this place is that is BYOB .

Paige C

It's BYOB & cash only ! Sushi is delicious but the staff could be nicer. Very crowded but worth it.

Yanique

The sushi is always fresh! It's as though the fish has just been taken from the ocean and placed directly on your plate!

Lily O'Dare

Avocado roll ! Also the tofu salad and avocado salad were delicious too.

Xian Xian

Tasty fresh sushi . Truffle roll ! Cash only , $18 min pp. No sep checks! Rigid BYOB rules (something like: 1 wine bottle per 2 ppl- A 6-pack counts as 1 wine bottle- No magnum or liquor bottles)

Lily O'Dare

Delicious vegan spread from Poke !

Nicolette St.Lawrence

Outsource decision making and go for the chef 's selection of sushi . Compliment with a high acidity wine of your choosing BYOB .

Mourad S

Amazing Sushi . Friendly staff . Byob (liquor store next door with great sake ). Cash only . Oh and it's pronounced Pohkay.

Terecille Basa-Ong

Apparently there's an $18 per person minimum, though it's not mentioned in the menu or posted anywhere around the restaurant . Double-check with them what you order as you may get something else!

Lance Lacoff

Great BYOB - tasty special rolls especially the truffle rolls . Fair prices - cash only .

Ale Tower

Good quality sushi and BYOB . I wouldn't recommend the spicy tuna rolls (too much spicy paste for my liking, but the rest was good).

Allison Esposito

Don't screw it up: Cash only , BYOB , and DO get the tempura ice cream .

Linnie D

If you've got cash, they'll deliver to you. Good in desperate situations but more fun to eat in - especially on Valentina's day.

Jason H.

Good Upper East sushi . A little overrated on Foursquare. Good basic sushi . No need to do omakase here. Just stick to the basics, which are good.

Jehan Marino

Tuna bomb and scallop sushi are some of my favs. Cash only and BYOB

Yorkshire Wines & Spirits

BYO you say? Grab a crisp Chardonnay (we're just down the block across 1st Ave) to go with that Himachi. Yum :)

Michael Mure

The truffle roll was incredible. One of the most unique and memorable rolls I've ever had.

Jon

I highly recommend the Kani Kama roll if you like spicy food

Erica S

Amazing sushi and byob is legit cash only though

Desi S.

Get the seared spicy scallop roll . It is the most delicious thing in the world.

Jay Mandel

Highest quality. Best taste in the neighborhood .

Evan Goldenberg

The crunchy dragon roll is great!

Nina LoSchiavo

Don't be fooled by the BYOB , the sushi at this place leaves much to be desired. Portion sizes are small, non-existent flavor in their spicy maki , and to boot it's cash only !

Terecille Basa-Ong

Food was delicious but service was rude/terrible/a mess. No mention anywhere of the $18 per person minimum - and we were not the only table confused by this. Got some of our order wrong & others' too.

Val

The tuna bomb is a MUST !!!!!

Guissoo N.

Truffle roll was amazing!! Byob and cash only .

Sam Feder

Save room for the free potato chips across the streets at Ryan's Daughter

Mike Sherman

BYOB , but if it wasn't it would be rated lower

Mikael Kopteff

Toro & Red snapper are super

Claire Luoto

It's the dynamite roll for me. Does me everytime. And it's BYOB on any night.

Mike Sherer

Truffle and spicy scallops are amazing! Byob and great prices!

Karen Tapia

Get the sushi bomb !

Ryan Gallagher

Solid BYOB sushi spot

The Corcoran Group

Some of the freshest sushi on the Upper East Side, and it's BYOB as well .

Danilo Matijevic

Sashimi is mind-blowing!
