Poké It Up has been the best poke takeout in Pentagon City for years, hands down. Now they have a standalone shop and this place is terrific. Every bowl here is fresh and flavorful.
The teas are also surprisingly competent. I love the fruit teas (though I always wish for a bit more jellies or fruit), and I've never had bad boba here. You know what I'm talking about. Their boba is always fresh and perfectly chewy.
Best poke in Ballston, if a bit hidden. But worth seeking out.

Overall bad value and bland taste. Ended up purchasing the "large" burrito for an insanely high price of $22 and it turned out to be very small. For comparison, I have purchased larger sushi burritos that tasted better for around $12.95-$14.95 from other restaurants. They also did not follow the instructions and ended up putting cilantro in my burrito and did not put any aioli sauce in both purchased burritos. Highly disappointed.

The best poke in the area! Super fresh salmon and they give good portion sizes. I order all the time and will order again

We order often from Poke It Up but lately the bowls have been lacking. Today the bowls were 3/4 rice, very little sushi, and almost no add toppings. Asked for extra avocado and got none. Comes with jalepeno and had three little pieces. For bowls that are $25, don't order!
