Poke Life

I got the spicy up poke bowl, and enjoyed it, however it could have used more fish! The service was quick, I was in and out in 3 minutes. The price is a bit high ($18 for the spicy up, $19 for a build your own bowl), but overall, I'd go again!

Got this house poke bowl. Ingredients were fresh, didn't even need soy sauce or ponzu. Just a little swirl of the special sauce and good to go. So yummy. Good ratio of rice to salad mix too.

A good quick and easy lunch spot near the UCSF campus. I got the Poke Life Special Bowl with white rice only. It was a really generous amount of food and fish and I was definitely full after. I feel like Poke Life is a lot better bang for your buck and quality then the poke truck at the nearby Spark Social!

The "imitation crab" in the poke bowl was GREY, and seemed cooked and mixed with mayo?? Also had a bad smell!! Not at all the pink shredded fresh-tasting stuff you typically expect.The salmon was also not very fresh. None of the ingredients seemed quality!!! Honestly this was the worst poke bowl I've ever had. I don't think I've even HAD a poke bowl I didn't love before?All other poke bowls in my life: 7 to 10 (out of 10)Poke Life: 1 out of 10

It's not a bad option for walking distance lunch from UCSF. Pretty straight forward build your own poke bowls. I feel like it's faster and easier to get to than Spark Social.Poke bowl:Half salad, half brown riceSalmonCitrus ponzuAnd basically all the free toppings. The poke bowls are about average. The servers are nice and efficient. Can't complain!

Wanted me some today and it was close by. I placed my order online thru their website managed by Ritual.I wanted something quick... I decided on the Poke Life Special Bowl ($15). Salmon, Tuna, Green and Red Onions, Carrots, Corn, Cucumber, Edamame, Seaweed Salad, Masago, Ginger, Wasabi, Jalapeno, Avocado, Fried Onion, Sesame Seed, Furikake, Citrus Ponzu Sauce, Spicy Mayo Sauce with White Rice and Mixed GreenOverall the poke bowl was just OK... nothing to write home about... the rice was saturated with the ponzu. The fish was fresh.The problem was the ordering process. I website said the food was ready to be picked... i waited in line (only 1 customer at a time inside) when I got in, about 5 minutes past the pickup time, and said I was here for a pick up. They said "oh yeah" then started making it. I

The unfortunate side of Yelp (sometimes): I literally live in an apartment complex across the street from Poke Life, and have chosen not to visit them solely because of the ratings I've seen on Yelp. Being an elite for so many years, I've learned to take things with a grain of salt but admit that sometimes fall into the bandwagon effect. Today, however, I was walking my dog and saw a young lady in the park eating a poke bowl and spam musubi. I HAD NO IDEA THEY SOLD MUSUBIS. Being from Hawaii, musubis are my life, and literally, my nickname in this app is 'spam-eater' Rockne. So seeing this in the park, I decided to finally check them out. This location is quite convenient for me. It's located in a corridor next to Starbucks and close to UCSF. The location inside is mostly the kitchen and behind the counters, however, they have an outdoor seating area for patrons. I always appreciate a large menu, easily viewable by folks. The staff was super nice and friendly and very welcoming. For my meal, I got:- Spam musubi for $4.50 - I've gotta say, the price is hefty but I appreciate the sign in front of the register explaining the price inflation reasoning. Besides that, I told my partner that this is probably the best musubi I've had in the bay, thus far. When I eat a musubi, there's only one way to make it - a THICK cut slice of spam (you'll get 8 slices to a can; you can also cut 9, but that's it), marinated and cooked in teriyaki sauce, AND furikake on the rice before closing it with nori. It's not either/or - it's AND. This place does it and they do it well. Kudos - besides the price, I LOVE LOVE LOVED it; admittedly, I'd spend that much on it any day- Kim chee Musubi for $5.50 - - Miso soup for $2.00 - Interesting, they added corn and julienned carrots to the miso, in addition to seaweed and tofu. Didn't detract from the soup or add any additional element for me; was nice and tasty - Maui onion chips for $1.36 - Glad they have the Hawaii brand Maui onion chips here. FWIW, you can buy a large bag of that at Costco, however, for a quick fix, this is the place to get it fromOverall, great place! I think I'll come back and try the poke bowls next time. I'll for sure be back for the musubis alone!

I ate your food make me sick and went to ER last night. I ordered your poke bowl on December 30 2024. After I got home, I saw the salmon is not really fresh, it's already dark , but I did not realize will be that bad. I thought you may put soy sauce in, and I didn't think too much. After I ate, the first night I started fever. The second day, I had really bad stomach pain, high fever, body aches. So I went to Emergency Room on the last day of 2024 and the first day of 2025.

My favorite Poke place nearby. Great Poke and the stuff is fresh. And little pricey but I think it's great to support your small local businesses. I am always full after eating my Poke bowl. The staff seem to work hard so it's worth going once in a while to support and eat good Poke. I couldn't handle the Poke from the groceries stores so this is worth

Update:This was not a 3rd party order, I walked in and ordered my food directly and was eating it as soon as I got to the break area the next building over.
