What to Eat at Poke & Co - Motor City How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Poke & Co - Motor City, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Ono (build your own) poké bowl Net +1
“I got the Ono (build your own) Poké bowl because I'm not a huge fan of raw fish and I wanted to try some different protein options other than the usual ones. My order had quinoa, zucchini noodles aka zoodles, shrimp, chicken, avocado, roasted sweet potato, spicy kale, Edamame and a lovely truffle ponzu dressing. The flavours were incredible and kept going between the spiciness of the kale and umami from the truffle ponzu. The zoodles went really went with the proteins. I've discovered a whole new favourite healthy meal with this combination.”

Chicken gone wild bowl Net −1
“So I went to the branch myself but was told that discount is only if you order online. Not a big deal, it's AED 50 so I ordered one and ordered a Chicken Gone Wild Bowl. The Chicken Gone Wild had like 5 pices of tiny chicken and the rest was just rice and avocado + betroot. I didn't feel satisfied so I sked the waiter to get me some beef to add on top.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Time. If ordering delivery, allow substantially more time than the app suggests or choose pickup; one Careem order took over 1.5 hours.
Check Contents. Check the bowl as soon as it arrives, especially the protein: a customer received soba noodles instead of their choice and no raw tuna.
Ask About AC. For dine-in visits, ask whether the AC is working first, as several reviews describe uncomfortable conditions in hot weather.
Confirm Opening. If travelling to the branch, confirm it is genuinely open before setting out; one customer was directed to closed locations.
Try Customising. The build-your-own option is worth considering if fixed bowls do not suit you; one long-term customer specifically recommends it.

The Bottom Line
Poke & Co in Motor City centres on poké bowls, particularly useful if you like assembling a meal around your preferred base, protein and toppings. The Ono build-your-own bowl, Aloha poke bowl, acai bowls and pokéritos are all mentioned by customers, with the strongest praise going to fresh ingredients, generous portions and healthy combinations. The food is not uniformly reliable.
Some diners describe excellent flavour and freshness, including salmon and avocado that stayed good in a 2am delivery, while others received dry chicken or beef, missing proteins, unwanted soba noodles or food containing hard objects. Acai also divides opinion: one customer loved the coconut chips and mango, while another found a Lotus acai bowl merely average and pricey. Delivery deserves caution.
5 to 2 hours, cancellations after an hour and app estimates that were inaccurate. Pickup or dine-in may avoid some delivery uncertainty, but the branch itself has had complaints about limited seating, flies, unclean toilets and recurring AC failures during 40-degree weather. If you visit in person, confirm the branch is open and ask about the AC; if ordering, check the contents promptly.
Prices mentioned include a California Pokkerito at 35 dhs, though another diner felt the overall experience was expensive.
