Comment: Came here after reading reviews, very affordable and good portion of poke / chirashi bowl.Ordered the signature, not too spicy and good portion of fish to rice + the furikake they put on this gives it extra chew and its yummy!Good service too! Very nice cashier too!

Comment: I came in during lunch hour on Friday and it was quite busy. I was greeted by this young gentlemen at the front of the cashier and he guided me to the menu. I was quite confuse about the menu and he was very kind enough to guide me through every single bowl on the menu. What I was interested the most was the special (Kaisen Chirashi) that they had only for the spring/summer season. The cashier was very patient with me and explained what was in the special bowl which contains Lean tuna, toro tuna, hamachi, ikura, and my favorite Uni. I gave this bowl a try and surprisingly it was very fresh and delicious. The presentation is definitely Instagram worthy. Overall experience, i am very satisfied and will definitely come back.Food: 4.5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5

Comment: Love love love this place! Came here looking for the best poke in NYC and was not disappointed. Fish is incredibly high quality and at the price point, great value. I ordered the flight so I could try out a couple different flavor profiles and definitely look forward to trying more of their menu. Service was fast and the seating was clean and plesant.

Comment: If you ever want a gourmet poke bowl experience, here is the place to get it! This stuff here is seriously good and seriously high quality. You pay a premium over a typical poke bowl place but I think its worth every penny if you decide you want to splurge a little!If you dont know what to get I would recommend the Chikarashi flight; gives you a small tasting menu of three of their bowls.

Comment: I ordered the Roasted Black Cod. The fish was fresh tasting, had a slight caramelized char on top from roasting, was perfectly cooked and fell apart as I dug in. The cod had a slight sweet taste and balance of savory flavor which was enjoyable. The dish was well presented and they played jazz on the space. Overall it was a great experience

Comment: Incredible place with amazing food. We stumbled in looking for a place to eat and our expectations were exceeded significantly. The flavors were all expertly put together and the fish is wonderfully fresh. The sign in the shop says that fresh fish are shipped there daily and broken down in house. I believe it, since the preparation was beautifully done and the taste is perhaps the best Ive ever had.

Comment: I liked the food very much ! I was actually very surprised and was not expecting such a gourmet meal (look at the picture). Fresh and delicious !The space is not very big but has tables and chairs along the way.It was not crowded and right on Canal Street. They have ice creams and specials… I want to go back for their watermelon sorbet.Now, I was not fully convinced by the service. I don’t want to go to much into details, I just hope it was because the lady who took my order was having a bad day (which happens) but she was almost rude… Curt.

Comment: Finally made it to Chikarashi...for the Dole Whip! located inconspicuously on Canal Street. its interior is very clean and nicely lit. theres seating along the sides of Chikarashi. primarily, known for its Hawaiian poké bowls…also is the closest place to me serving Dole Whip which is a Godsend during the warmer sweatier months of NYC.anyway stopped in for some Dole Whip, which a refreshing pineapple-flavored soft serve dessert that is dairy-free. tastes smooth sweet (but not overly sugary) —it’s basically a cross between soft serve and sorbet. Dole Whip is a pleasant respite from the sweatier days. though Dole Whip tastes best in Disney World, iyktykstaff is pretty curt

Comment: Chikarashi is my favourite fast casual neighborhood spot. Imagine sushi grade rice paired with sashimi grade fish so the offerings feel more like chirashi than poke. The Dole Whip float for dessert is a must and they often have uni specials!!!

Before the pandemic, I used to come here with my friends to eat their ice creams. The staff is very patient and proffessional. Although the pricing is okay, I always return because its worth it.

Comment: About $15 per poke bowl with salmon, tuna, or yellowtail. Regular and large sizes (large is $2 extra for 1 more oz of fish, but just seems to be more rice). $18 flight for a sample of their 3 most popular. Sichuan chili salmon was excellent, very fresh fish marinated in a light spicy mayo, a few toppings, and perfectly seasoned warm rice. Clean place, limited seating, fast service.

I love getting the sampler set which is three assorted smaller bowls, its enough to be shared. Did I mention they also have Dole Whip? Deal maker!

Comment: A bit expensive but you can tell they use quality ingredients. Even the chopsticks seem better quality. I tried the chojang hamachi poke bowl. Couple of issues, the sauce is a bit overpowering so you cant really taste the fish too well. Also even though i like how they used a more environmentally friendly bowl, the sushi rice is very sticky and sticks to the bowl. They should probably put a thin layer of salad greens underneath so the rice doesnt stick.

Comment: Ive had better poke for cheaper. That said, still a good spot – the cleanliness stands in stark contrast to its surroundings.

Comment: Amazing poke (possibly one of the best in NYC) however lose one star since they have almost no seatings and the price is a bit too much.

Comment: Ordered the #1 Sichuan Chili Salmon. Salmon tasted very fresh and had good marbling. Everything mixed well and tasted good. They actually have two sizes and the smallest size I had ordered was a bit too small for the price tag. They seem to use sushi rice and it tasted like it was mixed with vinegar- which was good!Would come back to tryout the rest of their other menu items especially their dole whip!

Comment: I didnt get the poke but I got the pineapple dole whip and it was good! It was $4 so it was not too bad to share with someone. The cashier was also very nice! They also have a mango flavor which you can swirl with the pineapple but I just wanted the pineapple so maybe next time i will go back and try that with the poke!

Comment: Clean place, food is very fresh and tasty. To everyone who is complaining about price I would like to remind that its New York where a salad price is in similar range. Guys, you want fresh fish, high quality ingredients and low price, its economically impossible. Regarding portions, Americans are spoiled. Its a normal size portion. Hungry? Get a large one.

Comment: Neat little addition to the poke scene! Good selection of poke bowls from the menu from the standard to some unique ones like smoked mackerel (special of the day). Nice, attentive and fast service at the counter. The food is a little on the pricier side for what you get (ordered a large which looked more like a regular), and I would have wished that more (vegetables) sides included. The dole whip dessert is worth coming for.

Comment: On the pricier side for poke bowls but their ingredients are high quality and the flavors they use are scrumptious! Sometimes they can add a bit too much salt and itll be too salty but at least you have the rice or salad to balance it out.I also like that you can go carb-free here making it a healthy, yummy lunch option. You can substitute the rice for salad, yay! You cant go wrong with any of the options on the menu. I usually have the salmon or tuna options!Unless youre really hungry, just get the regular portion, it is already very filling. They dont have many seats there so Id recommend getting it to go!

Comment: Poke is fresh, but way too pricey in general. They had a special poke bowl that was selling at $25?? Their normal poke bowls are around $14-$16, but the fish given wasnt that much. I would not come back, but I still give it a 4 star because in all fairness, the food is good.

Comment: Id say this place is much more of a upscale poke spot compared to others. Really quality ingredients but pricey, and theres no option to customize your bowl. I got the regular size (3oz fish portion) ponzu salmon which came with about 5 tiny pieces of salmon. Unfortunately this is typical of most other poke shops, where you always leave wanting a more even fish to rice ratio.Overall tasty and worth coming back, it just wouldnt be my first choice in a poke spot since I like to create my own bowl and load on the toppings. Theres also barely any seating, so would recommend you get an order to go.

Comment: Poke is one of those things that have been getting popular in the city, within good reason. Some great places have opened up and Chikarashi is one of them!Chikarashi has been on my list of poke spots to try for a while now, and when I realized they extended the hours to accommodate someone like me who would go there after work, it was a major plus and I then had to try it!An interesting twist they have here at Chikarashi is that they have some unconventional bowls here to provide variety, which includes cooked fish, a concept that is not poke at all. My friend and I got the Seared Toro Suji as the cooked dish and Sichuan Chili Salmon as the typical poke bowl. The Seared Toro Suji was good with a nice char taste to it. I have to say though that the star of the show was the Sichuan Chili Salmon! It was not too spicy (for my taste buds) and the salmon was prepared very well. It is one of the best poke bowls I have had so far in NYC. I need to come back here to try some of their other poke bowls and hopefully resist the temptation of having the Sichuan Chili Salmon.. even though it is so good!Ah, and what do they have here for dessert?!? Dole Whip!! I did have it.. but maybe I am spoiled to having it in California, it is good do not get me wrong.. but its not the same as when I had it on the west coast. Maybe I had just the okay batch that day who knows.Anyways, with their recently extended hours, make sure you take a trip here!

Comment: I was craving for poke for the last little while. I mean, Ive been to Wisefish Poké, and it was okay. Not the greatest. So I searched up poke again on Yelp, and this popped up! Luckily, I had a docs appointment today in Chinatown, so I ended up traipsing to Chikrashi for lunch.First off: The space is lovely. Its a little tucked away from the crazy Chinatown, and its so clean and minimalistic.The service was great -- the people that were helping me out at the cashier were very nice and approachable.I got myself the wasabi-goma tuna, because I was craving both avocado and wakame. The staff was right -- the regular was VERY filling (3 oz of fish). I wonder how full I wouldve been with the large! I brought the poke home, and devoured it quickly. I just wished they had more avocado in it. Ingredients were super fresh though.Apparently its still the soft opening right now (I hope they wont be TOO busy in the future, just for my own selfishness... Heh). They plan to open it for the evening hours as well, but that will be later in the future.BONUS: They carry Schweppes Cream Soda!!!! I havent had this since I was visiting Hong Kong.

Comment: Best poke bowl Ive had in a long time! Ingredients were fresh and produced big and bold flavors. The portions are a little on the smaller side, so getting the large is worth the extra cost. The lines can get long, but service is fast. Only knock, there is a weird smell that fills the small space. It took a little getting to used before it went away.

Comment: This is a higher-end take on the poke trend, where only curated bowls made of the highest-quality ingredients are offered. The chef has created several combinations meant to bring out the flavors of the fish. They sometimes offer specials using seasonal fish. Each bowl can be made gluten-free. Its a small space with only a few counter seats available, so plan accordingly. Try the fluke, its delicious!

Comment: Really fresh salmon and tuna. Bluefin Toro also available!A bit of gourmet twist to Poke. On the higher end of the $$ range. Staff was very friendly and do a great job of explaining the items. They have about 7 food selections and 2 flavors of dole whip.Would recommend trying it if you are in Chinatown. Right by the NQR and 6. Freshness is on point. :)

Comment: I love their rice, its imported from Japan and made from scratch. I ask for extra rice every time they never charged me the owner is very kind. Fish is very fresh and delicious. Its a little expensive but worth every bite. Ive tried everything on there menu. My favorite is wasabi mayo tuna. They are relatively new and I see good things in the future for chikarashi. I recommend any sushi lover to tried them atleast once. :))

Comment: I came here after hearing this place had Dole Whip. Ive never found a place in NYC that sold it. Ive only had Dole Whip in Hawaii and in Disneyland/Disney World. When I came in, the staff greeted me and asked if I had questions about the menu which was helpful. I know they are relatively new but I appreciate the customer service. I ordered the Dole Whip and mango soft serve twist. Its not bad for $4 and they give you a generous portion. Its a bit creamier than the Dole Whip Ive had but tasty. The poke bowls look good, maybe a bit pricey but I would come back to try them. Sadly, I had already eaten before I came there.
