Poke Kitchen

When you walk in you can order at the self serve kiosk or go up to the counter to order. The inside is small but had enough tables. They also have a parking lot where you can park so you don't have to find street parking when it's not busy. I really liked the sauce on the chicken fries. It was savory and spicy and had good flavor. The fries were not soggy at all but I wish there was a little more chicken. The regular poke bowl was so good. It was fresh and had good flavor! The wait was around 25 minutes for to-go. Would definitely come back!!Total price: $24.37

Got take out and the poke serving size overall is not as large as other places so I was disappointed. I got the house sauce with mayo and it was not super flavorful but was very mayo-y. I was also disappointed that the ginger was very scarce. Otherwise the other ingredients were standard and nothing special.

They have their own parking lot which is a huge plus. When you walk-in, you order from the touch screen. Service is meh... no one comes out to greet you or anything unless you're a DoorDash/Uber Eats order. I ordered the spicy chicken bento which comes with rice and salad and choice of sushi. I picked spicy tuna roll. I paid $13, which is very reasonable for all the food you get. The spicy chicken is delicious. It's not drenched in sauce like most places. It's just marinated and grilled with a nice char. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good too. Not dry or stringy like some places. Overall good value and I'll be coming back.

We found this place while searching poke in San Leandro. It was a weekday so very empty and definitely a hole in the wall. Right when we got in, no one was in the front, but we heard chatter in the kitchen. They said they would be right there. We saw some paper & pencil to fill in what we wanted so we did that.The prices are definitely cheaper than other poke places so I see the appeal. It took a little longer than I expected. We both got the poke sauce (spicy), a regular and signature bowl. For proteins, I got hamachi, spicy tuna & shrimp and the spicy crab as a base with brown rice and salad,Anyway, the sauce was way too salty and overwhelming, especially at the bottom. I think they went too heavy on the sauce to where you can't taste the fish. I was not impressed. I've had much better food & service elsewhere. I don't mind paying $5 extra for quality.

3.5 stars rounded upIt's a no frills sushi spot and it's relatively cheap so I'm not complaining. Rolls could be wrapped tighter cuz it does tend to fall apart when eating. The rolls are pretty big; one roll fills me up and I have leftovers for later. I usually order ahead and it's ready for pick up in 10-15 mins. I come here if I don't wanna go far for sushi and it does the job

We've been passing by this place ever since they opened. The timing was just never quite right for us. We are definitely particular about our poke. There are only a couple of places on the mainland that we really enjoy getting poke from. There were other customers when we walked in close to 1pm on a Friday. The two employees that we saw looked like they were doing prep work to get ready for the dinner rush. We were greeted when we walked in, and we were directed to where the menu was posted. There are order sheets for those who plan on ordering poke bowls. Just place checkmarks next to whatever you want and hand it over when you're ready. They'll verify what you want, ring you up, take your money and then make your order. Service was friendly and all of our questions answered. Once we ordered, she paid and waited inside while I went outside to walk the dog. We didn't time it, but it seemed to take an extraordinary amount of time for our order to be ready. Once we got our orders, we took them home for lunch. California Rolls - 3 - By appearance only, this was a 5. However, once bit into it, the score dropped. Why? There was no seasoning on the rice. It was quite literally, seaweed, rice, crab, minimal mayo, and black sesame seeds. The seasoning mix for the rice usually consists of unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar, sea salt, and kombu (dried kelp). When my wife makes sushi rice, she uses a wooden bowl and sprinkles the seasoning liquid onto the rice while turning the rice and I'm standing there waving a fan to cool the hot rice. Yes, it is labor intensive, and I've replaced my labor efforts with an electric fan. Every brand of mayonnaise has its own distinctive flavor. Fans of Best Foods usually don't seem to care for Kraft. Kewpie, Japanese mayo is very different from American mayo. Her Signature Poke Bowl - 5 - She absolutely loved her bowl. All of her flavors were on point, and she really liked the ponzu sauce that she had chosen. My Signature Poke Bowl - 4 - I wasn't in love with my bowl. I found the crab mix and some of the fish to be too cold. For food safety reasons, refrigerated foods need to be kept below 40-degrees Fahrenheit. For maximum flavor, the fish should be a bit warmer, some say just below body temp, some say just below room temp. I did really like the fruit that came with the signature bowls, avocado, mango and pineapple (at no additional charge). Would I try them again? Yes, I would get another poke bowl there. Then I would force myself to wait a half hour before diving in so the fish could warm up a bit. On the California Roll, I'd probably pass.

It tasted amazing and the chicken katsu was extra crispy and perfectt! Their sushi is great, which I ordered a california sushi roll. Their poki bowl was very fresh and the fruits were delicious. The service is amazing, super nice people. The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty cool because they have a nice painting in front, right when you walk in.

I've gotten takeout from Poke Kitchen 3 times and while the food is okay, I can't get over the owner constantly yelling at her employees and son. I don't think they knew I speak Cantonese because as soon as my order was ready, everyone was nice again, thanking me for waiting and communicating to me in English only. I'll be getting my poke from an establishment that treats workers better moving forward.

I usually love this place but the last few time we got poke bowls the fish was a little fishy. This is just been recently so I'm not sure if something changed. I'll try it again but last time
