Fast-casual restaurant opens at New Riverside in Bluffton. Here’s what to know

Bluffton’s New Riverside Village now has a fresh new dining option as Nom Nom Poke Shop officially opened its doors this week in the Compass Commons development.

The restaurant is the second location for the Savannah-based Japanese poke shop, known for its made-to-order bowls at its Bull Street flagship store.

Nom Nom Poke Shop in Bluffton is located at 267 Parkside Commons, Suite 102. Located right off the roundabout from S.C. 170, New Riverside Road and S.C. 46, Compass Commons has space for a handful of locally rooted businesses.

The shop is currently open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., with expanded lunch hours set to begin next week.

Once the full schedule kicks in, guests can visit from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The shop will be closed on Sundays.

Nom Nom’s menu features a lineup of signature bowls, including the spicy tuna crunch, sesame salmon, crispy shrimp and teriyaki chicken. Prices start at $14.50.

Diners can also choose from starters and appetizer options like ahi tuna nachos and sunfire pressed sushi.

For those looking to customize, build-your-own bowls begin at $11.95.

The Bluffton shop offers dine-in and takeout, with online ordering available, and Uber Eats delivery expected soon. Diners can also place orders by phone at 843-815-0805.

What else is coming to Compass Commons?

Nom Nom Poke Shop joins a wave of openings at Compass Commons, one of New Riverside’s most anticipated mixed-use developments.

In February 2020, the Bluffton Town Council approved the initial master plan for the development, and last fall, the majority of storefronts were secured by tenants.

Other businesses, including Pet Wants and STMT Boutique, have already welcomed customers, while other promised locations like Burke’s Pharmacy and Frosty Frog continue preparing for their debuts.

Several of these incoming businesses – such as Frosty Frog, Local Pie, Café Al Dente and Burke’s Pharmacy – are longtime Lowcountry favorites expanding their footprint into this new hub.
