I'a poke

Huge portions, friendly service, casual vibe with wooden counters and tall metal stools.What stands out here from most other poke shops here on the mainland are the tasty and authentically marinated spicy pokes that remind me of those in Hawaii, and the huge portion I received for a "medium" which is really like a "Large" at most other places.Worth a try if you are in the area!

My favorite poke spot in the area. The portions are generous, a good value, and there are plenty of toppings. If you get one of the marinated fish with onions, keep an eye on it when it's scooped because sometimes the onion to fish ratio isn't perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised when this place popped up on my TGTG app and I decided to give it a try. Haven't had any poke ever since coming back from Oahu 2 years ago.It was a big box of fresh proteins when a variety of fish and shrimp. The staff was very friendly and it was very easy for me to find a parking spot. Will come back!

I'a Poke is one of my favorite poke spots in the Bay Area! It's a walkable distance from my work and is the only place I go to if I don't make lunch for myself.There is a little bit of seating available inside. I personally bring my food back to my work to eat so it doesn't affect my rating. Previously there was one worker (I never asked for his name despite never failing to see him every time I've visited), but now that the place is getting more attention I think there is another worker helping him.Now the food is REALLY REALLY good. The seasonings and sauces paired with the fresh fish are chef's kiss. I've never been disappointed. I always get the sesame shoyo, spicy mayo, and unagi sauce with two scoops of salmon and either yellowtail or tuna to finish it off. The portions are generous and a medium bowl is $16 before tax. Affordable and satisfied? That's what you'll get here. Would love to bring my poke loving friends here some day.

Surprisingly good poke! Everything felt fresh and lots of options for toppings and sauce. -1 star for extra costs for many items that are probably included in other poke places. No other complaints and indoor area was convenient for a quick bite.

Cool space to grab a Poke during the week with a fair amount of parking in the area. The staff is friendly & competent, the space airy and clean, the ingredients fresh, seasoned, and tasty. Not a lot of seating but enough it seems, plus there are a number of spaces outside that are ideal to enjoy a meal.

I was craving poke and decided to see what was nearby on our drive back from east bay into the city and landed on l'a poke. Their online ordering system did not work when we preordered our bowls so when we came to pick them up we had to wait 10-15min for the order to be made. I ordered the tango bowl with white rice and my partner ordered the aloha bowl with brown rice. The white rice in my bowl was so mushy and not vinegar-y at all like how sushi rice is made. Furthermore the whole mix itself was tasteless - I expected more from a signature bowl. My partner's bowl tasted better than mine, but that's not saying much. Overall, cravings weren't met and I probably wouldn't come back to order from here again.

Ordered I'a poke from the app Too Good To Go and received a surprise box that was loaded with rice as well as salmon, tuna, and crab meat plus spicy mayo and cilantro. I hadn't heard of I'a pole prior and was surprised when I found out how close it is; in between SOMA and Mission Bay near the round a bouts are: the Design District.Without having any expectations, I was pleasantly surprised how good the poke bowl was! Both the salmon and tuna tasted very fresh and clean; nothing fishy in a negative way. The crab salad was also well balanced as it wasn't overloaded in mayo so the flavor stuck out well. I'm not a big fan of spicy but the spicy mayo packed a good hot that wasn't overpowering. The staff at the restaurant were also super friendly. They greeted me with positive, loud energy when I arrived and helped me with grabbing my pick up order.

Super happy with the food and service at this place!! I got the regular bowl with salmon and spicy tuna and for the sauces I got sesame shoyu, spicy mayo and ponzu. Shoutout to Steven for wonderful service (and for working on Thanksgiving day with such a positive attitude!)

Was over in the area doing a detail and had to hit up this place. Craving a bowl. Got distracted with the special menu, Got garlic mash potatos that they use the juices from the wagyu beef is Always get the unari special too. Worth the trip across the city! The chef is the creator of all there specials S/O to him. Hit the spot! Easy parking too!
