This is an amazing place with great food. I had the street tacos, the sushi and the poke’ bowl and they were all amazing! I am a regular customer there and I highly recommend
This is the best new spot in town!! They have a great menu and a clean and welcoming environment! The food is fresh, authentic and very well presented! Thanks Mike, cant wait to come back again!!
It you havent been to The Poke Jar, you need to get there soon!! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh with a friendly owner and staff. Its a top notch place that I will definitely be visiting again in the near future 😁
We found this amazing little gem of restaurant just outside of Albany. So cute and charming. The service was great, the guys working there were super friendly and attentive and made sure we were happy with everything. And the food was some of the best we’ve had! We loved everything we tried.The sushi was so fresh and beautifully prepared. Of course we had the poke, it was fantastic. We had the chicken wings too, loved them! We also shared the Korean beef tacos, they were amazing. The ramen was beyond-simply delicious. We love dumplings and these were some of the best we’ve ever had. So happy we found this place! This is our new go to place- can’t wait to go back
The menu is amazing. I’m not sure you could find another restaurant in the area that offers as many Japanese fusion style dishes. There is something for everyone…ramen, sushi, poke bowls, and more! I went with a group of friends and we ordered a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. Can’t wait to go back!
Food is so fresh. Service is outstanding. I am not well versed in the food and the servers are patient and helpful. The shrimp tacos were deloghtful and so colorful. We also love the hometown Wildcat Poke Bowl. Highly recommend!
Its a very nice space with a friendly owner and staff and some truly excellent food... well worth the price! Ive been multiple times and Ive yet to be disappointed by anything. The purin dessert is a personal favorite, as well as the sando appetizer which is absolutely fantastic when you get it fried. Also all the presentations are super nice! Its just a great experience.
Wow…. What an amazing experience it was to dine at the Poke Jar. The place was clean and neat, the service was exemplary, and the food fresh and delicious. So enjoyable ….will be back time and time again😊
Its a newly opened place with a friendly staff and very nice decor. I had the fried Oyster buns that were cooked perfectly and outstanding. Then I went with the Lord Hicks (#12 on sushi menu) which i enjoyed equally. A nice change of pace if you are in the area. 😊👍
The Poké Jar is a must. The food is unique and delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. I have been back twice already and am looking forward to visiting again soon. If you are unfamiliar with the menu items, dont hesitate to ask. The owner and staff are so friendly and willing to help out. Try it! You wont be disappointed.
Great restaurant , great food and service and right on the Hudson River.
Was so excited to try this new spot. Great service, very clean inside, cozy atmosphere and the food was absolutely incredible, especially the pork belly bao buns and ramen. Cant wait to go back!
Our dinner was delicious! The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into creating an enjoyable dining atmosphere with an impressive menu. Definitely will be coming back!
This place is a gem and much needed in this area. Great sushi and poke bowls with super fresh, quality ingredients. The pork ramen in outstanding with flavorful broth and tasty pork. I cant wait to try the rest of the menu!
Love this new spot!! 15 minutes from Albany. The food, the atmosphere and the staff are all awesome!! The menu is full of great choices!! There is something for everyone! Can’t wait to go back!!
If you haven’t tried The Poke Jar what are you waiting for? This gem is nestled in the heart of castleton that offers a variety of flavorful options along with gluten free dishes. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to go back!
My husband and I went in for lunch and it was a great experience. We both got the tacos, I had the chicken and my husband got the beef bulgogi. They were so good neither of us stopped for pictures. Will definitely return!
Great place, friendly staff. Food was insane!! I’ll definitely be back. The Sando is amazing!!! A must try. It’s like an explosion in your mouth (that’s what she said lol) but in all 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing - food is fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully planned and prepared. Service is excellent and only 15 minutes from Albany. Cant wait to come back!
Poke Jar- Really nice sushi spot right on the river which has a small town feel. They play music you would hear cruising in your car along the beach on a sunny day that definitely caters to any audience. Sushi is really good quality ingredients. This place has been around for about a month or so and you cant go wrong with it. Pricing is very fair considering other tiers of sushi restaurants in Albany or around the capital district. I started out with the Dragons Den Ramen which is very very good, I would give it a 4.6* I get mine extra spicy!I finished off with the pork belly buns by recommendation Which are out of this world!! (thinly sliced marinated roasted pork belly on steamed bro bun with the other ingredients, sauce and toppings)I’ve never had anything like that before but I can tell you that these were Phenomenal!If you want to impress your date come here for dinner, if you just want a casual lunch then just come for lunch on the weekdays!
We LOVE the Poke Jar! The ramen, sushi, and all of the appetizers are delicious. The crab Rangoon and Japanese chicken wings are our favorite appetizers right now. Everything we’ve had so far is amazing and we are so happy to have the Poke Jar in Castleton. The atmosphere and service are as good as the food!
If you’re in the Capital District, do yourself a favor and check out The Poké Jar. Phenomenal food in a unique location along the historic Hudson River. Enjoy the quaint atmosphere and you must try the Sando (Sushi Sandwich). Well done.
Great experience overall, service was top notch. Various choices for everyone, amazing sushi combos! Shrimp Tempura outstanding, Ramen full of flavor loaded with fresh shrimp, scallop and veggies. Great addition to Castleton 👍🏼
I have to say we had the best evening at the Poke Jar! From the creative appetizers to our main entrées … Fresh, flavorful at every bite! With a surprise dessert to finish off this great meal! Yummy 🥢
Awesome!! found this recently opened little gem and we absolutely loved it. My son’s favorite was the fried Sandro. The tacos were to die for , and the extra passion and little details that go into the sauces help lay the groundwork for what is undoubtedly a successful road ahead for the Poke Jar. Can’t wait to stop back in, and whether your just “poking” around Castleton, or coming from out of town , I recommend yon do too, and it won’t “Jar” your piggybank either, the bill was a bit lower then excepted. Great upgrade for Main Street and surrounding area!
If you love sushi, tacos and Ramen, you HAVE to try this place! The fish is SUPER fresh and the portions are huge. I loved the poke bowls because they were filling and a great option when youre cutting carbs ! I loved how i could make my own bowl with everything I wanted in it! Absolutely delicious 💯🍣🍲😋
We have gone here several times and each time the food and service have been fabulous! So far, we have had The Vinny and the Lord Hicks sushi rolls, a poke bowl(my very first one), a ramen bowl, several tacos and the pork belly bao buns. The only thing I can say is mmmmmmmm! They were all absolutely delicious! A perfect blend of texture and flavors. It’s a must try for anyone in the Capital region. You won’t be disappointed
Five stars is not enough! At The Poké Jar youll find flavors and combinations that make for an amazing and unique experience. The duck bao buns are a must have along with the beef bulgogi tacos and ramen. Dont forget the marinated egg! And of course the fried sando...No words. Its not heavily fried or greasy and its one of the best things on the menu hands down. So if youre looking for something different, unique, and flavorful The Poké Jar is a must!
Wonderful meal. The owner was so personable and friendly. Definitely will return for the great food!
Hidden gem serving fantastic food! Menu has something for everyone…. Comfortable atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back….
