First Capital Poké Bar

I have a pretty insane poke bowl hyperfixation and First Capital Poke Bar is amazing every single time. I usually do a BYOB and it’s genuinely so delicious. My sister also has Celiac Disease and I highly suggest coming here if you can’t eat gluten, they categorize everything on their BYOB menu for that and there’s still many options for those who can’t eat gluten, which isn’t something you see a lot. I have a texture issue so I typically order crab sticks (not gf) instead of the chunks of fish. Not that the fish isn’t just as yummy but the texture really does bother me, if you have some similar issues i definitely would suggest trying the crab sticks or maybe shrimp tempura in your bowl if you can. I used to not be a huge poke fan because of the texture until I realized I could literally just change the protein and now I’m a fangirl. For prices, poke in general is a more expensive meal, but i’d say First Capital Poke Bar is definitely worth it for the price. Looking from an outside perspective, $20+ for a bowl may seem expensive but for the quality and quantity I fully believe this is a well rounded price that is more than worth it to me! Especially as someone who has tried so many different poke restaurants, this is a very good place to visit and eat at!

Fast poke is my favorite new food craze, and First Capital is better than almost every spot I’ve been to in NYC. Lucky to have it all the way up here! The ingredients are fresh and tasty and the staff is lovely, it’s my favorite dinner spot in the area and I come here regularly. Options for gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan diets too!
