The Most Flavorful Poke in Oakland

Yoshi Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37)

"I have only tried their California roll here. It is pretty decent. My food was ready in a few minutes each time I ordered here. They are a regular at Fremont Street Eats Friday evening/nights. (Bonus: I love their name, Yoshi is my favorite)"

Poki Run

★★★★★ 4.5 (691) • $$

"Poki Run has truly ruined it for myself when it comes to my poke cravings. No other place can compare, especially when it comes to taste and quality of that sushi rice. Let's be real- if your rice is trash, the meal itself couldn't possibly be any better when it comes to this type of dish. Poki Run is a bit of a drive compared to a couple of poke spots located a lot closer to home but I'd easily make the trip. 5/5 stars!! Seafood, protein, and ingredients are always fresh, tasty, and the pricing is 100% justified. Flavorings as a whole is always spot on and satisfies all my cravings completely. Having a few recent fails at other establishments have only solidified my love and high praises for PR."

Bonito Poke

★★★★★ 4.6 (116) • $$

"Bonito Poke was a pleasantly surprising stopover we made on our way to Napa. It's been bookmarked for a while now, but since they're closed on Mondays, it didn't really coincide with our schedules. So glad we were able to come on a Tuesday to finally try it out. Chef Steven was super welcoming and knowledgeable of all the dishes. Our salads came out first and they were tasty and dressed perfectly. All of the plating was impressive as well. We ordered:Crunchy Garlic Chicken - This was my favorite thing we ordered!Loco Moco - Really hearty. The mushroom gravy was *chef's kiss*Cali Poke - I chose salmon as my protein. I forget where the chef said it was from, but the fish tasted really fresh. Like another reviewer mentioned, I do wish it was more spicy. But my fault for not asking for the sauce. Cocktails:Tropical Zen - This was sooo good! A must try if you love matcha and pandan.Strawberry Hawaiian Fizz - A fruity and tropical accompaniment if that's more your vibe.If you're craving Hawaiian food elevated with quality ingredients and preparation check out Bonito Poke. The dine-in experience was outstanding. There were many people ordering to-go too if that's a more fitting option. They also have a food truck in the financial district of SF, but I believe it's limited to poke.I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!"

Sunfish Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (404) • $$

"The best ! The service is great , the best fresh food it's a total vibe and it's close to everything! You can't beat it"

Bayside Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (278) • $$

"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."

Poki Run Fremont

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (323) • $$

"Hands down the best Poki I've ever had!Okay, so I'm not a Poki enthusiast but I know what good food tastes like and if something is fresh or not. Poki Run's bowls are made with extremely fresh ingredients with zero smells or the old fishiness flavor. I ordered a large bowl with half rice, half mixed greens, crab, hamachi and tuna. You get 5 scoops with the large bowl. For sauce, I had the spicy mayo.I ordered over the phone and the gentleman helping me was extremely helpful and patient with me. When I arrived, the bowls were bagged and ready for me. The service is really good and they are friendly. The restaurant is very clean, well lit and welcoming. I love the simplicity of the overall white theme, easy to read menu and ordering.For two large bowls with avocado, the total was about $46. Although that's a bit pricey, what isn't these days?I think Poki Run Fremont should be rated higher than 3 stars. My constructive criticism would be to make the portions slightly larger without increasing the costs. It seems to be the main issue most people are having. Nobody likes to eat out and still be hungry when their meal is done.I will definitely be back in the future when I'm craving Poki."

Local Poke

★★★★☆ 4.4 (482) • $$

"Craving poke but didn't want to drive to my usual South Bay spot, so I checked Yelp and decided to try this place.They have a great selection of marinated protein choices, sides, mix-ins, sauces, and toppings to customize your bowl. I love that you can mix & match your base for extra variety! They even offer poke nachos, which is a fun option.Our bowls were fresh and absolutely delicious! Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service was excellent. Plus, you get a free Yakult with every purchase. I'm thinkin' this might just be my new go-to spot!"

Poke Xpress

★★★★★ 4.5 (297) • $$

"The portions here were so big and the fish tasted very fresh! I definitely recommend a mix of spicy salmon and regular salmon. The service was very friendly and the ambiance was very casual. Great quick place for delicious poke!!"

Poki Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (410) • $$

"Came here on Thursday night after work out and trying eat something cold and soft after I got my tooth filling, glad they are open till 9pm. Love the deco on wall when walk in, and looks clean. They posted the step by step menu on wall show you order options. I chose 2 fishes with half rice and half salad as the base. I got salmon and hamachi, they use the 1 oz scoop on the poki per serving. Then you go down to choose the seasoning for the poki and you can load with so many options of toppings. I also got order of spicy crab meat +$1( got two 2 oz scoops) then you stillGot o choose your dressing on top. The bowl was so packed with all kinds of texture and goodness! The service was great. It is definitely value added. The next store phin cafe is going to open soon with viet egg coffee. Can't wait come back again."

Poke Go

★★★★★ 4.5 (28)

"First time trying Poke Go and will definitely return. I'll start by saying that this was an all tofu bowl, so no fish. Nonetheless it was very tasty. LOTS of toppings and sauces. Service was fast and everyone was pretty friendly. While I enjoyed most of the toppings, I would probably skip the pickled cucumbers next time. Other than that, everything was pretty good."

Bowl K Poke & Roll

★★★★★ 4.8 (207) • $$

"YALL the pictures speak for itself. Before your eyes go wide on that $23 price point for a poke bowl.. Don't be fooled man it is a LOT of fish and definitely worth your money. Bowl K is definitely a hidden gem.. It is tucked in the corner on the side of Target plaza, I wish I found out about Bowl K sooner! My friend and I shared the Chef's Special Poke Bowl and the Won K Special Roll, which is supposed to be the chef's pick surprise roll! I love ordering rolls like that because the fun's in trying out what the chef's got to offer! :) The staff were incredibly sweet as well, they kept checking up on our experience and if we liked our food (we loved it). There was a number of tables and the restaurant itself felt quite cozy, I enjoyed the Korean music playing in the background as well. I was blown away by how fresh the fish here was. I swear the salmon melted in my mouth bro I haven't left a poke restaurant so satisfied in a while. And I've never had a poke bowl with cream cheese in it.. which surprisingly worked pretty well with our meal. Both dishes were so delicious we were struggling to finish our meal! There was also a great selection of drinks to choose from, ofc I had to get this Hello Kitty ube drink. Chef's special more like chef's kiss. I'm coming back"

Poke Don

★★★★☆ 3.7 (259) • $$

"After several visits to PokeDon in Hayward, it's high time to share our experience. The create-your-own Poké bowls offer a satisfying customization experience, which allows customers to tailor their meal to their liking. During our multiple visits, we've always enjoyed the service and our final selections. Although prices have increased slightly, this is understandable and noticeable everywhere these days. An important note... while the inner parking lot can be a bit tight, venturing a bit further to the adjacent parking lot would be a better option. Overall, the simplicity of the ordering process coupled with the quality and freshness of the ingredients, especially their proteins such as the salmon and tuna options, definitely makes PokeDon a reliable choice for a quick and flavorful meal."

Benicia Poke

★★★★★ 4.7 (129) • $$

"Tasty poke! I paid 21.77 for a regular (two protein) bowl. It was delicious as everything looked and tasted fresh. The rice was perfectly cooked, the fish melts in your mouth, and all the veggies were nice and crisp. The service was great, the employees all greeted me when I entered. The employee who helped me was super nice and patient as I thought about what to get. The place itself is on the small side, so there really is not a place to sit and eat inside. However, I opted to go to the park and eat, which was a nice and short walk. Overall, would come again when craving poke!"

Sumo Roll

★★★★☆ 4.4 (381) • $$

"This place is my go-to for sushi near campus! It's a hidden quiet spot that I've passed by and finally got to try. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and the special dinner plates are generous for the price. I've tried a lot of sushi places, and this one blows them all away. Plus, the staff is super friendly and fast. Perfect for a quick lunch or a study break!"

Sushi Secrets

★★★★☆ 3.8 (367) • $

"Found this place by accident! The place is small but comforting and very clean. The staff is nice. Street parking only, however conveniently right next to Berkeley downtown BART station. They serve sushi burrito and bento box as well as some variety sushi roles. Many to choose from. I had the sushi burrito No.7 Berkeley Charito. It was very delicious! I would definitely be back here again soon!"

Poke House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (476) • $$

"As someone who loves seafood and sushis, Pokè was something I automatically fell in love with. And I, very successfully, was able to extend my love for Pokè to my husband, who in turn introduced me to this place - Pokè House.I ordered a to-go medium sized bowl and the quantity of it was terrific, I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I went for the Spicy tuna and Garlic Soy Tuna, and pretty much all the free toppings, which btw, are way too many, including a scoop of Crab Salad. I saw some reviews saying they paid $1 for Crab Salad, which surprised me as it is definitely free. Yes, the Masago and Avocado are for an extra dollar, but I was quite content with the free toppings range they have, including Mango and Pineapples, both of which I love in my pokè bowl.The sauces to top on are also quite interesting and flavorful, make my tastebuds tickle with joy.The experience of pokè at Hawaii was something else, and it definitely can't be compared, but this place did very close justice with the flavors and quantity, and I am sure to return for another bowl."

Yummy House

★★★★★ 4.5 (135) • $$

"My new go-to ramen spot in the area. I've been here a few times now and the food never disappoints. Great portion size for the price. Love their fusion of noodles and Hawaiian food. The place is never too crowded, it's nice and clean, and their service is fast. Already recommending my friends here, yum!"

Hukilau

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"#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"

Lulu Poke

★★★★☆ 3.7 (185) • $$

"My go-to place for poke, especially for lunch to-go. I can order online and skip the line. Spicy scallops, shiitake mushrooms and kelp salad are my favorite items, and not very common elsewhere. Generous on the dressings too."

Oh Fish Sushi & Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (266) • $$

"I was pleasantly surprised with how good this place is! Picked up my nephew for a lunch date and he requested sushi. This place was so close to his house we tried.It's nestled in the chain malls on Hesperian. I would say there's about 10 tables and we sat right away. I liked how affordable things looked. Nothing more than $15. Service was attentive and friendlyKaki fry 4/5. Came out hot and crunchy. Oysters were good. Could use a touch more seasoning. Passion Salmon 4.5/5. I love garlic and salmon so this roll was perfect. Plenty of fish on top and the garlic was present but not overpowering.Lion King 5/5. Honestly one of the better lion kings I've had! A little heavy handed on the mayo but I liked it lol.Really good value restaurant! And my picky nephew approved lol."

Prime Poké

★★★★☆ 4.4 (208) • $$

"I've walked by Prime Poke countless of times, I finally gave it a try!I stopped by Thursday night around 6pm for dinner. I came in at about the perfect time because about 4 or 5 people showed up after me. This space is very small, I'd say 5 people in there is tight. There is also no indoor dining, there is a few tables outside though.I was intrigued that they have zucchini noodles as a base, I had to try! I liked the crunch it added but I think it added excessive moisture to my bowl so once I got to the end it was very watery - almost soupy. Not my favorite thing. They had a good amount of options for protein, toppings, and sauces. The unagi sauce was a great touch and I don't always see it. I found this spot to be a tad more expensive than other places. We got 2 bowls, one with 2 proteins and one with 3 proteins. The total was $31 dollars before tip. They offer a free scoop of crab salad or spicy tuna, which is nice but other poke spots offer that as a toppings option with no additional charge and are less expensive for more proteins. Overall, this spot is cute, clean and service was good but if I'm in downtown Pleasanton, I'll probably be going somewhere else. Good option for a quick & fresh lunch in the area."

Poke Star Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (355) • $$

"Food: fresh and delicious! Perfection in a bowl. I was worried I would have to order à la carte, but there was a printed flyer to check off what you want in your poke bowl at the counter. Phew! Service: Very friendly, very helpful, superfastAmbiance: Well I don't know if poke star is still in pandemic mode, but there's no seating inside, just the counter and blocking off the rest of the entry area with tables, as others do too. The thing that mattered most: the food! Did they succeed? They excelled!No photos available, I ate in the car and so fast and digested it wonderfully well."

Hawaiian Poke

★★★★☆ 4.2 (648) • $$

"We love this place - our go to for when we want poke. If we are not nearby, we'll make the drive to Hawaiian Poke because it's worth it!My daughters and I usually get the small size, and it's more than enough for us! The bowl size is the same, the difference between small, medium, & large is the amount of protein you get. This place is clean, quick service, and delicious!"

Hashtag Poki

★★★★☆ 4.3 (472) • $$

"I wish I would have taken pictures of the food. Oh well, next time for sure I got two of their rolls + hamachi nigiri & inari nigiri. The fish was very fresh. The hamachi was buttery and the avocado in the salmon roll was very fresh as was the salmon. The inari nigiri was especially tasty. Generous portions and good prices. I will be back."

Poke N’ Squeeze

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"One of the best poke bowls I've had in SJ. I will die on that hill. Friendly staff, little bit of a wait for my food but it was very well worth in the end. The dude who made my bowl made it look beautiful and taste beautiful! Everything was well balanced and not overly saucy like a lot of other poke places. Fair pricing and I got $2 off my order for signing up for their rewards system. Their frickin soy garlic and miso sesame sauce is bomb!!!! Note: I got their dragonfruit lemonade juice and that's also super good!! I'll def be back :)"

Go Fish Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (181) • $$

"I tried Go Fish Poke Bar the other day and I think it's my new favorite for Poke in the Tri Valley! It is super fresh fish, they give you a good amount of fish in the bowl too unlike some other poke spots in the area. I will definitely be back! I did an order ahead on doordash since I had some doordash credits, when I got there he made the order right in front of me and asked if I wanted any add ons which was nice. I got the spicy salmon bowl it was tasty, very filling I couldn't finish it in one go so I saved the rest for dinner! The store is pretty easy to find in the stoneridge mall and they have the cutest mural inside the store!"

★★★★☆ 4.2 (121) • $$

"Fish & Things Poke Bar is hands down the best poke experience in the Bay Area! As a self-proclaimed poke connoisseur, I can attest to their unwavering commitment to freshness.

Osumo Poke

★★★★★ 4.5 (103) • $$

"Ordered to go and was impressed by the quality. They offer option to use purple rice as a base, which is a unique and healthy touch. One of the standout features is that they use real, fresh pineapple instead of canned, showing they care about their ingredients. The fish is sliced thinly, unlike the chunky pieces you often get at other poke places, and it's very well prepared with no strange smell or aftertaste. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, making for an enjoyable meal. However, I do wish the portion sizes were a bit larger, especially considering the price. Despite that, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for high quality poke."

"Helped by Neo. Great customer service and spoke loud and clearly, making the process faster and easier for customers."

Akita Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (192) • $$

"I'm in and out of this place a lot. They have great specials through Uber Eats so I often order to pick up myself. The service is always excellent there. They have a small dining room and a food truck (which I partook of at a local event recently).Their sushi is always fresh. I've tried numerous different rolls. I love their fresh salmon and their Hamachi Kama is delicious. This is kind of a "treat to myself" on days I've been on the road a lot. Will keep coming back because....It's good and I can"

Hanami

★★★★☆ 4.4 (207) • $$

"Such a cute spot!Went with a friend for lunch and the food was great! The menu was pretty big and all looked great. They even included a board and markers to fill out when ordering a poke bowl, no need to recite all the different ingredients you want added. I got a shrimp/tofu bowl, and my friend got the Agedashi tofu soba noodles. We shared some garlic edamame and all the food was delicious. The service was nice and fast, and overall the experience was great! I hope to be back soon to try more of their food!"

Wild Blue

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Whenever I am craving poke at school, I always go here. They have the tastiest tuna and the toppings are a plus as well. They also have boba here; it's alright. I usually go here for the poke more. The service is pretty great! The lady helping you with your poke and drinks is very nice."

Poke House - Santa Clara

"Food was great!! Generous portions and super yummy! And the extra "crab bonus" was a win"

Poke Zone

★★★★☆ 3.9 (362) • $$

"Driving my daughter home. We saw signs with food on it. My daughter quickly looked it up on Google. We circled around and decided what we wanted. I got a dragon roll. She got something spicy. I can't remember the name. Quiet a few people were going in and out. We waited until we got home. I usually have to have wasabi with my rolls. This time my daughter accidentally didn't tell me about the wasabi in the bag. I sat at my kitchen table to eat mines. She ate in her room. Mines was very very good. The flavors were amazing. Next morning I asked my daughter. How was your sushi? She did very spicy. She loves spicy. She said it was to spicy for her. Wow! She also, said her salmon was very dry. I would love to go back she said no for her. I said well maybe you can get mines next time. I had salmon it was delicious."

Poke Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (180) • $$

"Quality/Quantity - Two poke bowls, see pictures. Both were good, single serving quantities.Tiger Roll.Alaska Roll.Atmosphere - Small local family run restaurant.But a fairly large parking lot. Not sure if there are other businesses that use this parking lot...?Many security cameras throughout the business and parking lot.Semi open kitchen.Bathroom in the back, you just have to ask. We did not use it.Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. Service - Counter service. Or a self service kiosk.Mostly to-go customers, we were the only customers that ate here.As first time customers, it would have been nice to have more direction.We asked many questions on what their process and procedures were.Price - $55.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019."
