Poke-man - Merrillville

Wonderful Customer Service, the Woman at the front desk let me try things I was curious about (like the noodles and sauce). Such kindness and openness for a business to have. It was fast service as well. I will certainly be back many times over! Food is so fresh too!! Hands down one of a kind business in the area! Get yourself a Poke-Bowl!

Excellent poke place. Probably the best poke place outside of Hawai'i (we live on island...are here for the Indy 500 and to visit friends). Prices are reasonable. There is a menu that let's you build your own poke bowls or they have items already to be assembled. Usual choice of drinks for eater to soda, but also boba teas (my wife loved the taro tea). Workers friendly and knowledgable. Theu also had samples for stuff we were unfamiliar with. I took a picture of their poke bowl menu to help you see how you can assemble your own bowl. Overall a great poke place that we'll probabyl visit when we make our annual pilgrimage to Indiana for the 500.

I haven't spent much time in Merrillville lately, so I decided to try something different. POKE-MAN is a delightful spot just off US-30 that offers a wide variety of options for creating your own dish. I opted for a bowl that included tofu, tofu skins, sweet onion, jalapeño, red onion, red cabbage, shredded carrots, sweet corn, bell pepper, shredded nori, and green onions. This is just a small selection from their extensive menu, which even features unique choices like snow crab and BBQ eel. As for drinks, they have a range of milk bubble teas, fruit teas, and fruity slushies. I tried the Strawberry Fruit Slushie, which was truly refreshing after a long day. I would describe its texture as a mix between a smoothie and a slush, making it a very enjoyable drink. With such easy and healthy options available, I can definitely see myself returning the next time I’m in the area.

I was never a fan of poké until I tried it from this place. I even got my fiancé to give it a shot, and now we're both craving it more than traditional sushi, which we never thought would happen. The portion sizes are impressive for just $13 to $15—especially when a single signature sushi roll costs about the same! We're already planning to come back in a few days. Plus, I've discovered that my favorite taro drink is from here now.

I stopped by for dinner to try something new, and I really appreciated the option to customize my meal by filling out the menu. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. It was a bit on the expensive side for what you get, but it's definitely worth a visit. The staff was also very helpful and friendly.
