" You can’t go wrong with the spicy tuna poke bowl here! It's incredibly satisfying, and the balance of flavors is just right. Additionally, I appreciate how they allow you to customize your bowl, so if you want extra toppings, just ask! My only complaint would be that prices have increased a bit over the last few visits, which is a bummer but worth it for the freshness. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and gives off a clean vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kome Waza has been a part of my regular lunch routine! The variety they offer is impressive and the food is always cooked with such care. While I have to say that portions can be a bit small, the outcome in flavor is undeniably good, and the freshness of everything makes it worth a trip. The ambiance is also a plus, making for an enjoyable experience. I’m a fan and recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kome Waza has become my go-to place for lunch! The poke bowls are consistently fresh, and I love building my own with a variety of toppings. The salmon is top-notch and always melts in my mouth. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I believe you get what you pay for. Plus, the staff is friendly and accommodating which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving quality poke in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had! The poke bowl I received had an absurd amount of sauce, making it inedible. Not only that, but the portion size was tiny for the price. I expected a better balance of flavors and ingredients, but it was too salty with no fresh taste coming through. The only good thing about my visit was the cleanliness of the restaurant; however, I won’t be returning after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed at all. The poke bowl I had didn’t taste fresh at all despite the prices suggesting otherwise. The rice was dry and the fish wasn’t that flavorful. The staff were polite, but I expected more regarding food quality. This is not my first choice going forward, especially in a city with so many good options available. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mixed. The poke bowl I ordered was decent, but honestly, I felt it could have had a bit more variety. The ingredients tasted fresh, but by the end, I found myself wanting for more toppings and something unique to set the experience apart. The restaurant is nice and clean, which always helps! However, I hope they step up their game with their offerings next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious! Kome Waza has quickly become my favorite poke destination in the city. Their fish is always fresh and melts in your mouth, and I really enjoy their unique sauces which take the flavors to another level. The only downside is that sometimes it can get crowded, but that’s a good sign of how popular they are! I can't recommend it enough for poke fanatics. " (*Curated Review*)
