Poke Bowl

My friend wanted poke but Burlingame was too far for him to drive. So I gave him a few options and he choose this location as it's close by both our houses, easy parking (street meter & residential) and have sitting so we can eat and chat. I haven't been back since the pandemic (see previous review)This time, our orders was full to the fullest. It was stacked with goodies of our choice. I was impressed by the quality AND quantity they scooped. They definitely did not skimped on us. I even came back for a second time after a week by myself. And again they did not disappoint. Another plus, their prices are not as expensive as other places. I'm glad they didn't raise it so much it would break your pocket. But it does make a HUGE DIFFERENCE from ordering online and in person ordering.

I ordered a large poke bowl, and while I appreciated the generous portion of sides, I felt the overall flavor and freshness could have been better. The ingredients were decent, but I was expecting a bit more vibrancy in taste. Not a bad experience, but there's room for improvement. The service was decent nothing to complain about and there was plenty of seating.

I was craving a refreshing meal and ended up finding this place. My friend and I went here on a Saturday around 2:40pm for lunch and there was no wait!We got the Medium and also the Large sized build-your-own poke bowls. The Medium bowl allows for 3 scoops of fish while the Large bowl allows 4 scoops. They give large scoops if you choose the BYO option and the overall portion size was big too. I noticed for certain sections, you can add as much as you want with no extra cost! All the food tasted and looked fresh too. I'd recommend this place! This might be my new favorite place to get poke. Their portion size is larger than other poke places I've been to, food was good, they have lots of tables to sit at inside, and I love how much variety they have here.

Solid poke spot! You order with a paper and build your own poke bowl. They give very generous portions and don't skimp on toppings. I like how you can get lots of types of toppings added on for free including seaweed salad which is usually extra at other poke shops. It's fairly priced for the amount they give you. A large was enough for two meals for me.Overall I'd definitely come back to get poke and next time I'll try other types of fish/toppings!

Picked up a bowl on a Friday afternoon just after lunch. I didn't have to wait long even though there was only one worker. You fill out your order on the piece of paper to the right of the poke bar and hand it to the worker when you're ready. I see the bad reviews mentioning portions are bad and the massive amount of flies in the restaurant, but i didn't experience either. I didn't see any flies and i was happy with the portion i received, a matter of opinion though. Oh but if I saw all the flies myself, i would probably have given less stars too.

So I PreOrdered my Poke bowl from home around 1pm. I received notifications for estimated time for pick - up, yada yada yada. Then when I received my Ready for pick up alert by 1:30ish, I go to counter & nothing. Nothing was done. The order person even asked me "are you at the right place?" My expression was like WTF!?!Apparently the TABLET wasn't charged, so I had to wait for quite sometime for my order to pop up on the system which took along time cause my fam was wondering what was taking sooo long (they already have their food from another restaurant & they didnt even pre-order). When my order was handed to me no apologies were said & I bluntly said I want to get a coke and I'm handing her my credit card. She handed me the soda for free and said no it's OK. So I have to admit I enjoyed my Poke bowl order and next time I will not do the Online PreOrder.

Food is ok but the portion is not consistent. I came a few times at 9:10-9:15pm to get my late dinner bc my daughter gets off from gymnastics practice at 9pm. The first few time when I came, the lady staffs let me place my order and told me that they closed at 9:30pm. Tonight I came around the same time, it's this new guy I've never seen. He refused to take the order and said they've closed. It's not even closing time yet. If it was a sit-down diner, I'd respect the closing time and wouldn't go in if it's less than 45 min from the closing time so that I know I won't make the staffs get off late. But this is a poke bowl place. It literally only takes a couple of min to put ingredients together for a bowl! Btw, I saw a big fly flying around the foods.

Their Ocean location is still takeout-only, closing off all the indoor seating options. You order via paper and pencil, marking off boxes of options for fish/toppings, and had to to the employee to prepare. I ordered a medium bowl, which comes with three* scoops of fish. The portion size is decent, but the toppings weren't fresh. The carrots were all dried out, and the tuna looked like cat food. The rice was overly chewy, probably had too much water and left in the rice cooker a long time.They probably thrive on being the only poke place in the neighborhood and can satisfy the craving if you're not willing to go far.

Everybody Hustling!!!I am at Work Hustling and Busting Ass!!!I've built up an Appetite!!! But I Want Something Healthy and Filling.This is where Poke Bowl Comes in !!!!I rolled in and Ordered a Large Poke Bowl!!!!!For my Base I ordered Kelp Noodles!!!My Proteins I ordered Albacore, Salmon, Hamachi and Spicy Crab!!!!I ordered all the Toppings except for Tam-ago and Pineapple.I ordered Extra Seaweed and Flying Fish Eggs.I also ordered Spicy Miso Sauce, Spicy Mayo and Soy Sauce The Bowl was Edible Art !!!It looked Good and Tasted Good!!!Complex Flavors and Textures!!!Yummy!!!!Excellent Customer Service!!!!For all these reasons this is a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's what I stand by: any poke restaurant owner can reach out to a reputable seafood vendor to request for high quality cuts of seafood- prep em up and it'd be fire.. so I never base my opinion on just the quality of the fish. It's really the rice that plays the x-factor in a poke bowl. If I see sushi rice subbed for the plain white rice option, I'd give this place a second try! I wanna taste the love from the sushi rice prepping, I can eat Zojirushi rice at home any day!Wife and I got large poke bowls off DoorDash so this review is based solely on the food rather than the physical establishment. *One weird note is we ordered around 6:45PM Sun 4/2/23 but Yelp was showing this place was closed. Their current hours show Mon-Sat 10:30AM-11:00AM? Owner of the business might want to edit their Yelp page!Mine: white rice // sweet corn, cucumber // salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, spicy crab // spicy poke and spicy mayo sauce // wakame, oshinko, green onions, massago, furikake, garlic chips, sesame seeds(hers was similar: salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, and spicy crab with spicy mayo and ponzu)Pros- really filling and affordable, bowls are packed to the rim, and they're on UberEats/DoorDash for convenienceCons- lack of flavor (the rice and the sauces), quality of the fish is mediocre, carbs to fish/toppings ratio was pretty carb heavy, nothing really stood out from the bowl
