-The Review-

Poke Theory is a great choice if you’re seeking a healthy and tasty option nearby (they have multiple locations across Singapore). Most of their outlets are also open on weekends. If you are counting your calories, they have a nutrition calculator. However, note that the calculator is not updated with their latest menu.

Proteins taste clean and healthy

The Balinese Spiced Salmon surprised me—it was light and not oily at all, possibly because they sous vide it without the skin. I enjoyed it more than expected; sometimes Balinese spiced dishes can be heavy but it isn’t the case here. I’d definitely order it again when I’m craving cooked fish.

I also tried their Shoyu Tuna. This is my standard order at Poke Theory because it isn’t too salty, and tuna is one of the leanest proteins out there. Their Sous Vide Chicken is also tender if you’re looking for a less-seasoned protein option.

Broccoli was overcooked

Their sides are simple yet delightful. Everything is either unseasoned or lightly seasoned, allowing you to savor the freshness of each ingredient. The Cajun Sweet Potato is mashed, providing a nice contrast to the crunchiness of other toppings. They also offer egg whites as an option.

My only complaint would be that the broccoli is mushy and overcooked. Personally, I prefer broccoli to retain its crunch after cooking.

Sauces are nice but the portion is very small

20g of dressing isn’t enough to mix properly into the regular bowl. Instead, I dip my Poke into the sauce rather than stirring it in. I’ve tried both the Sambal Matah and Avocado Miso, and found both to be well-balanced and light. Neither sauce contains oil, making them decent choices if you’re seeking a lower-calorie option.

Very consistent size

They do weigh the amount of Poke and base they give, so the sizing has been pretty consistent. It was about 110g of Protein, and a total of about 500g worth of food –

  • 45g Pineapple
  • 53g Sweet Potato
  • 30g Cucumber
  • 25g Carrot
  • 50g Pumpkin
  • 30g Broccoli
  • 40g Egg White
  • 60g Balinese Spiced Salmon
  • 50g Shoyu Tuna
  • 90g Crunchy Greens
  • 20g Avocado Miso Dressing
