" I wasn’t overly impressed. The fish was fresh but didn’t differentiate itself from other sushi places. I also found the staff to be somewhat dismissive. At this price point, I expect more finesse in both food and service. The BYOB policy is a nice feature, but not enough to win me over. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried this place expecting incredible sushi but unfortunately, it fell short. The quality was average at best and the service was very slow. I didn't enjoy the cramped seating either. I appreciate the idea of it being BYOB, but I expected more. I left disappointed and still hungry. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Poke to be quite overrated based on its reputation. Yes, the ambiance was lively and the place has a nice vibe, but the food didn’t wow me like I expected. I had hoped for a richer flavor profile. The prices felt unjustified given the sizes. Not sure I'd return; maybe it's one of those places that was better before. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite sushi spot for a casual night out. I was impressed by the variety on the menu. It’s clear they take pride in the flavors and freshness of their fish. The ambiance is lovely and has a nice buzz about it. Being BYOB is the cherry on top! I always leave satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find on the Upper East Side! Poke boasts an inviting atmosphere with authentic Japanese flavors that made our dinner memorable. The sushi was fresh and expertly crafted. Definitely worth bringing your favorite bottle of wine since it's BYOB. Don’t pass on the tuna bomb; it was the highlight of our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dining experience at Poke! Tucked away on the Upper East Side, this cash-only place is charming and offers a great BYOB option. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Each roll we tried burst with flavor, particularly the unique creations like their off-menu salmon rolls. It’s a spot you'll want to revisit often! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought a friend here who had never had proper sushi before and I'm glad I did. The freshness was noted immediately, and she loved every bite. The atmosphere was relaxed yet lively. Being BYOB made it easy to enjoy our meal without breaking the bank. We left with smiles on our faces! " (*Curated Review*)
