As soon as you step inside THE POKÉ BOX, you'll notice the minimalist decor with a touch of playfulness. The limited seating area, with just a few seats, sets the tone for a quick bite or takeaway meal. The restaurant is reasonably clean and tidy, with adequate lighting that adds to the pleasing atmosphere. The lack of music may not be for everyone, but it adds to the intimate and enjoyable experience.

Moving on to the food, we were impressed with the quality of ingredients used in the dishes we ordered. The presentation was pleasing to the eye, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Each bite was exceptional and memorable, with a burst of flavors that tickled our taste buds. The freshness of the ingredients was palpable, and the nutrition value was top-notch. We highly recommend trying out their vegetarian dishes, sushi, and sashimi.

The staff at THE POKÉ BOX was friendly, welcoming, and provided good service, although they lacked a bit of promptness. They accommodated our requests with ease, and the wait time for the food was reasonable. While the restaurant does not have an extensive list of beverages, the selection of bottled drinks was decent, with a few unique offerings.

THE POKÉ BOX's menu primarily focuses on Poke bowls, with a few options for sushi and sashimi. However, the dishes can be customized entirely to suit your preferences. The menu items complemented each other well, and we appreciate the restaurant's efforts to accommodate various dietary restrictions. We wish they had more halal options and a broader selection of meal types, but the over-the-top amount of available customizations for poke bowls and sushi burritos makes up for it.

In terms of price, we felt that the cost was fair for the quality and quantity of food and drinks served. We received more value than expected, and the only lingering thought was that the restaurant could have had a better sit-in environment to enjoy the meal.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience at THE POKÉ BOX and would recommend it to those looking for a quick and satisfying meal. Make sure to check out our meal review for more details on the dishes we tried.
