"Nice little poke shop located in Japantown serving a large variety of poke options. I had the poke lover bowl with two scoops of spicy ahi. The fish was nicely seasoned and tasted fresh. It came with a generous amount of seaweed salad. The kimchi was alright, not the best I've had. The price was reasonable for the poke bowl, which was average sized. Overall I really enjoyed the meal and would be happy to come back."
"This place does get busy so if you are on a time crunch, I suggest you call to place your order beforehand. We came here after Gavin's Vietnamese/Buddhist class was dismissed. It's the temple diagonally across the street from here. I wasn't anticipating the wait because I had a few meetings w/ my team in SG starting at 5PM. Gavin wanted the 2 meat combo: bbq chicken and teriyaki beef and I ordered the loco moco. We also ordered 2 sides of macaroni salad. It was served in one container as opposed to 2 separate side containers. I did not try Gavin's but my loco moco was good, but I would have preferred more gravy. Their macaroni salad was tangy and creamy! Parking sucks. But good comfort food."

"I stopped by Poke Paradise while my car was being serviced and really enjoyed my meal! The store is small but the standard Chipotle-style experience where you make your way down the line of options. I went on a Saturday around lunchtime and there were only a couple of other people there.Everything seemed fresh and tasty! I took my order to go. There was plenty of parking since it's in a shared parking lot. Next time my car is being serviced, I'll be back!"
"Before heading to check out the new Costco in the area, we stopped at Bayside Poke for lunch. I'm glad we did as we really enjoyed eating here. This is a nice small restaurant with ample seating and two people working the line. We were served immediately and with quite a selection of greens, meats and toppings. I'm not a huge Poke eater, but my bowl was really good. You can tell everything is fresh and high-quality. There are two sizes for bowls; I of course went for the large. In addition to the food being really good, the restaurant being clean, the pricing was excellent. It was about $40 for two bowls, one of which was large and one of which had avocado added (extra charge). That's not bad! I also peeked at the menu and their sushi pricing was very reasonable. I plan on trying the sushi on my next trip to Bayside Poke.Overall, highly recommended."
"My favorite go-to for when I'm craving poke for lunch. A short walk from my work, Spoonfish Poke uses fresh ingredients and their poke bowls never disappoint. I always order a medium "build your own poke bowl." Friendly and helpful staff who are happy to answer any questions if it's your first time ordering (I'm a regular). Limited seating inside, but there are tables and chairs outside. Great place to have a poke bowl and people watch as it's located on the Paseo de San Antonio in Downtown San Jose by SJSU."
"Great food and great price! We moved away from the area but always stop by when we have a craving for Hawaiian food. They even took our catering order on their "closed" day for my FIL's 80th birthday! We love supporting local small business and so should everyone else!"
"YUM YUM YUM!!!!Garlic shrimp here is 10000000/10! I literally love the garlic shrimp here, it is so delicious that I crave it now.The macaroni they have is so delicious, I sub out one of the rice scoops for the macaroni.Such a solid meal to eat and I love it so much!The staff is very friendly and quick to turn a meal from being ordered to in the box ready to go. Plethora of parking in this parking lot and relatively close to the front door"
"Great Hawaiian flavors and addictive macaroni salad. When I am craving Hawaiian bbq, I drive straight to Mahalo and pass several restaurants on the way there. The staff is extremely friendly and get excited when I order.Mahalo staff has a passion for Hawaiian food and it shows in the flavors they serve."

Aloha Fresh is so damn good. I think I've finally perfected my order: a Poke Lover bowl with half rice half salad, kukui nut ahi, spicy salmon, mac salad, and pickled onion. SO GOOD. The fish is super fresh and you can definitely taste and feel the difference in texture. I literally never go to those Chipotle-style poke places anymore.The kukui nut ahi had this sesame oil kinda flavor that's super good, and I love the crispness of the limu seaweed. It's also not too saucy so it tastes very refreshing. The spicy salmon is more saucy but it all comes together with the fattiness of the salmon super well.I also really enjoy their hot foods like kalua pork and fried chicken!I love their generous points system that offers random rewards, like a birthday bogo!I came close to closing on a weekday and they gave me 3 free chicken teriyaki musubis!

This is our go-to spot for Hawaiian food. Parking here could be a pain depending on the hour you go, The staff is really friendly and fast. Got the protein plate with less carbs. This is plenty of food and enough to feed 2 people. They also have different types of masubi. This is a great, affordable spot to get a quick meal if you're in the area

One of my fave poke spots in South Bay Area ! Poke has gotten so expensive in the bay ($18/20 min) but this place gives great portions and avocado / masago is no extra charge! Service feels so nice and friendly, more family vibe. Always coming by when I have a craving.

It's sorta become my lunch spot when I work from home. The bowl is healthy, with variety and different size, well priced and a quick food to be picked up. The service is fast both in person and online orders. I have never sat down and had food in the restaurant but it seems like a decent spot. I wouldn't call it highend or child vibe place

Conveniently located near SJSU. The place was clean and staff was friendly. Solid choices of protein, sides, and toppings. They also have some unique sauces as well other than the basic spicy mayo and ponzu. Overall, good poke spot!

Decent Hawaiian spot with big portions but nothing mindblowing. Run by a Chinese family that also sells American style Chinese food. We got the spam musubi, bbq combo, and fried seafood combo. The spam musubi had way too much rice. If you want to get full of that then its for you! The bbq combo was a bit greasy and fried seafood a little overfried. Can't complain too much for the portion size and price though. Close convenient spot for us.

"I came here after walking lake Chabot with my husband on a Sunday afternoon after smelling all the wonderful bbqs at the park. Moana's did not disappoint. I got the moku chicken combo that includes the bbq chicken and katsu chicken while my husband got the Aloha bbq combo which includes the kalbi short rib and bbq chicken combo. The food came out so quickly and super full in the plate we received. The flavors were perfect and not too salty. The server also gave us lots of sauces without even asking. My favorite was the katsu chicken. It was so crispy. The ambiance was clean and bright. There is a parking lot to park as well."
"Opening day!The place is a remodel of the old bagel and hawaiian bbq place. The interior looks clean and the couple cooking in the back seems like they are working hard. The server guy was inattentive though. A customer walked in and he was talking to the cook and the customer left after waiting for a while.Seats are limited to 3 tables.They accept apple pay.Food is good for what it is. Nothing outstanding, but not terrible."
"If you're hungry and craving some seriously good food, this is the spot! I stopped by and was immediately greeted by the super friendly guy at the front. The place was spotless, which is always a good sign.I ordered the half BBQ chicken and katsu, and wow flavor overload. The chicken was tender, juicy, and packed with that smoky BBQ goodness, while the katsu had the perfect crispy crunch. And let me tell you, the portions are no joke enough to easily feed two (or three if you're willing to share).The prices were totally reasonable, so my wallet was just as happy as my stomach. Oh, and plenty of parking outside, which is always a win."
"I can't eat spam so I ordered the Kalua pork plate. Comes with one standard musubi, which I swapped out with colleague for a chicken katsu version. I didn't care for it, but I will like to try the CA roll version next time. The kalua pork was moist but not greasy and not drenched in sauce. Comes with rice and cabbage to make a full meal with various flavor profiles. Right priced, and easy."
"I tried the healthy garlic talapia plate with brown rice and salad. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful with the right amount of salt. The dressing was sweet and tangy. The fish was cooked perfectly and I liked the salad dressing was packed on the side. The portion was generous.The water tasted and smelled unfiltered. The entire restaurant appeared outdated and dingy. The atmosphere reeked of Pine-Sol. Parking is shared with other businesses and can get busy on the weekends.My food came out quickly and I had to clarify that I wanted the healthy plate since there is a white rice and macaroni salad option that is made. I think the cashier should help clarify the difference as it was my first time ordering."
"We enjoyed everything we ordered!!! Spam Masubi, friend rice, Hawaiian roll French toast, loco moco.... There wasn't a single bad item on our table! The menu is on the smaller side, but everything was delicious!"
"I like this place more than other spots around. The prices are very reasonable and the food is fresh. I like getting the bbq chicken bowl and the mixed combos. Portions are perfect too."
"I took the advice of fellow Yelp buddy Elvine and decided to give this unassuming spot a try.HELLLLLLA GOOOOOD!The food was fresh and aplenty! I paid $9 for hella food! I would definitely go back, the food was pretty good for a steam table set up. This place seemed really popular with the locals! Give this place a shot, it won't disappoint!"
"Food and portions are excellent Katsu chicken nice & crispy. BBQ chicken cooked perfectly and very tasty Macaroni salad is excellent Katsu & the curry sauce were both very tasty"
"Not a big fan of the quality of Daddy's BBQ. You get so much rice than meat portion for the so-called large plate. Might have just been bad rushed order."
"#taste - 5/5#portion size - 4/5#service - n/a#value - 4/5#recommendation(s) - get the garlic popcorn chicken! Really flavorful and decent portion size.#tip - parking can be limited due to street parking so consider doing takeout.#like - in addition to the popcorn chicken, I also enjoyed the short ribs. The size is good and the meat is tender.#dislike - not a dislike of the food but I felt the portion of the mac salad was small so I wish the entrees would come with bigger servings. #suggestion - the fried rice could be more flavorful"
