pokey trash

A small restaurant on George Street in the heart of downtown New Brunswick just around the corner from the state theater. It shares the same space as Cambo Box. You are encouraged to order online or at the kiosk located inside the restaurant. Upon walking in, you'll notice that there isn't a lot of seating available. Walking past the seating area will be Cambo Box and then Poke Nagomi. We ordered take out and our order was ready by the time we got there. It was placed on a shelf to the right of the wall so we were able to just grab and go. By the time we got home, the chicken karage was soggy which was unfortunate. It was placed in a plastic container, so all the condensation softened it pretty quickly. Overall, the chicken was slightly overdone and a bit too salty. The poke bowl, on the other hand, was very good and jam packed with sides. I ordered the signature bowl with spicy salmon and spicy tuna with spicy mayo as my sauce. Highly recommend their poke bowls. Something to keep in mind though, parking is all metered and not cheap. But if you plan on spending time walking around, then it's not so bad.

I absolutely LOVE poke nagomi. Fresh ingredients served by a small local business. You just can't beat it! Their poke bowls are only $10 and extremely generous portions! I cannot express how much I love this place as well as their sister restaurant Ramen Nagomi! Their tuna appetizer is the best if you have a raw fish craving but only want a snack! Masago on top is really good! Unlimited toppings. Do I need to say more?! Just go! Go now!

Love it! You'll definitely get a bang for your buck at this place. I ordered a mini BYOB poke bowl and could not have been happier. I chose salmon as my protein and was very impressed with the variety of sides/crunch available (seaweed salad, sweet corn, edamame, pineapple, pickled ginger, sakura pickled radish, cucumbers, onions, scallions, furikake, crispy onions, and tempura flakes). Service was super quick and staff was friendly. I definitely recommend and will be back soon!

I walked by the restaurant many times but this is the first time I ordered from it. I ordered online for fast pickup. For the BYOB I selected spicy ahi tuna and salmon. For the base I selected half rice and half salad which was a good interesting and great addition to either rice or salad. Not sauces, spicy mayo and wasabi mayo, were wonderful. But I could have eaten the bowl without either as the taste of the seaweed salad, tamago, and the proteins were great. The spicy ahi tuna was saltier than I’d have liked. The portion was generous.

Great place for sushi and poke. The fish is fresh and cut for each poke bowl, sushi roll, and sushi burrito. The workers are really nice and its really close to rutgers. Theres not a whole lot of seating but most people get take out anyways so there will most likely be a seat if you wanna eat in. They have self ordering too. The fish is fresh and clean. It might be a little wait for you food but thats honestly fine because it just shows the food is fresh.

Huge portions!! Holy moly, these bowls are big enough to feed 2 people, EASILY. Thr toppings are fresh, rice is cooked just right, the presentation is very nice, and the price is fair! I am a fan of Yuzu Kitchen but this bowl is almost equivalent to 2 of theirs. And this place isn't as sparse with their topping as the other place. So glad I decided to give Poke Naomi a try!
