A one-protein poke bowl at Poke Burrito Williamsburg costs $11.75, making it the simplest way to keep lunch or dinner light without giving up the custom format. Two proteins cost $14.75, while three cost $17.75. The menu also covers sushi burritos, poke salads, signature bowls, sides, bubble teas and combo meals. The Williamsburg branch is at 265 Metropolitan Ave and opens daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. It is a fast-casual room built for choosing a base, protein, toppings, sauce and crunch rather than settling for one fixed combination. That makes the order easy to adjust, provided the add-ons are watched.

How to build a Poke Burrito Williamsburg bowl without overspending
The ordering flow starts with a base, and the useful detail is that the base can be split between two choices. Available bases include white rice, brown rice, soba noodles, romaine and zucchini noodles. Quinoa is also available for an extra $1. That gives a two-protein bowl enough variation to feel composed rather than simply doubled up. The price is $14.75 for two proteins, or $17.75 for three. The newer one-protein bowl at $11.75 is the quickest lower-cost route, especially when a lighter meal matters more than variety. It is also the clearest way to test the format without committing to the larger order.
Crunch is not an afterthought here. Every bowl or burrito requires a crunch choice, with wonton crisps, onion crisps, garlic crisps, shredded nori and toasted rice puffs among the options. No crunch is available, while roasted macadamia nuts cost an additional $1. A sensible budget order is a one-protein bowl with a standard base and one of the included crunches. The three-protein build is the first thing to skip when keeping the bill low: it is $3 more than the two-protein version. The extra protein may suit a very hungry diner, but it is not the economical move.
Signature bowls for raw fish, cooked seafood and hot beef
The Hawaiian Classic Bowl is the most island-style signature. It combines ahi tuna with pineapple, jicama, cucumber, avocado, seaweed salad, crab salad, classic sauce and crisp toppings. The Golden Salmon Bowl takes a sweeter route, pairing salmon with mango, cucumber, edamame, avocado, wasabi-yuzu sauce, seaweed salad and crisp toppings. Between the two, the salmon has the more obvious sweet-savoury balance, while the Hawaiian bowl spreads its flavour across fruit, fresh vegetables and salads. Both are useful starting points when customisation feels less appealing than ordering a defined combination.
The California Bowl is the lower-risk cooked-seafood choice, using cooked crab, cucumber, avocado, eel sauce, spicy mayo, toasted rice puffs and wonton crisps. Diners avoiding raw fish can instead choose the Onion Beef Bowl, built with hot onion beef, teriyaki sauce, cucumber, corn, carrot, jicama, seaweed salad and rice puffs. These signatures also show the range of the menu: it is not limited to chilled raw fish. The better pick depends on temperature and texture. California is creamy and crisp; Onion Beef is warm, savoury and closer to a rice-bowl meal.
What the Williamsburg room is like when you arrive
The dining room is bright and clean, with pale surfaces, cool overhead light, small tables and empty light-toned chairs around a quiet counter-service layout. It suits a quick meal more than a long, formal sitting. The practical appeal is the directness of the service: choose the format, customise the components and eat in or arrange the order for later. Current sources do not publish a verified quiet or busy pattern, so there is no reliable time to promise a shorter queue. It is better to treat the visit as flexible rather than plan around an assumed rush.
No reservation system is advertised. The verified ordering channel is Toast, which supports pickup, delivery and scheduled orders. That makes a scheduled order the most dependable choice when the timing matters, while a walk-in keeps the decision open. The brand advertises free delivery in Williamsburg, Astoria and Long Island City. For anyone eating in, the room's counter-service arrangement means the main decision is what to build, not where to settle in for a full-service meal. The address is easy to save before travelling: 265 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211.
Opening hours and the simplest route from Williamsburg stations
Poke Burrito Williamsburg is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. That broad pattern covers lunch, an early dinner and a later evening order, but it should not be confused with a guaranteed quiet period. No verified busy or quiet schedule has been published. The shop is presented by the brand as a new or grand-opening location, and its menu is designed around fast-casual ordering rather than reservations. Checking the current listing before leaving is still sensible, particularly when travelling close to the stated 11:00 p.m. closing time.
The MTA lists the Metropolitan Av G and Lorimer St L stations as nearby Williamsburg transit options, with Bedford Av on the L also serving the area. The G and L references are more useful here than trying to assign a single best route, since the right station depends on the starting point. No dedicated parking information was published in the sources reviewed. Street parking or a paid garage may be considered at the driver's own risk, but public transport is the clearer documented option. Toast also identifies the Williamsburg store by phone at (929) 397-0022.
Sushi burritos, sides and the real value of the combo
The sushi burrito follows the same custom logic as the bowl, with a two-protein version at $14.75 and a three-protein version at $17.75. It is the better format for a meal that needs to travel neatly, while a bowl makes the separate ingredients easier to inspect and adjust. The Poke My Way bowl or burrito combo costs $17.75 with two proteins and includes a drink and chip. That is $3 more than the equivalent two-protein bowl or burrito, so it only earns its place when both extras are wanted.
The sides keep the order easy to scale. Miso soup is $2.50, while steamed pork, vegetable gyoza or shumai cost $5.95 for six pieces. These are useful additions when sharing or when the bowl alone feels too spare, but they can quickly change a low-cost order into a fuller spend. The same applies to premium customisation: quinoa adds $1, and roasted macadamia nuts add $1. For a straightforward meal, choose the one-protein bowl or a two-protein bowl with included crunch. Skip the combo when a drink and chip will go untouched.
How it compares with SHIRO and Koharu Sushi & Ramen
Poke Burrito Williamsburg is the focused choice when the meal needs to be customised quickly. Its menu is organised around poke bowls, salads, sushi burritos, toppings, sauces, sides, bubble teas and combos. SHIRO at 568 Metropolitan Ave takes a different approach: it is a sit-down sushi, sashimi, cocktail and hookah lounge, with reservations through OpenTable and late Thursday-to-Saturday hours. That makes SHIRO the more suitable alternative for a planned sit-down occasion, while Poke Burrito is more direct for a bowl assembled to a particular base and protein preference.
Koharu Sushi & Ramen at 622 Metropolitan Ave offers a broader Japanese menu with sushi, sashimi, ramen, takeout and dine-in service, with late hours extending to 1:00 a.m. on most listed days. It is the stronger backup when ramen or a wider Japanese selection matters, especially later at night. Poke Burrito has the clearer price ladder for custom poke, beginning at $11.75 for one protein and reaching $17.75 for three. The tradeoff is breadth: Koharu covers more traditional formats, while Poke Burrito gives the diner tighter control over the bowl or burrito.
