The Best Poke in San Jose

Poke Poke Fish Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (980) • $$

"Good price for the poke quality and portion. It's $17.95 for 3 scoops of fish (seaweed is extra $1.50)I got the 2 scoops of salmon and 1scoop of ahi tuna. I liked the variety in toppings including mango pieces and the crispy onion flakes. There's also outside seating and plenty of inside seating. They have water cups behind the counter you can request for along with any sauces you want on the side. Going on a Saturday evening and even when they were close to closing, people were still coming in. People who served were very nice as well. Definitely recommend as a Poke place!"

Tuna Kahuna

★★★★★ 4.6 (713) • $$

"Tuna Kahuna is my favorite lunch spot in Burlingame. The owners truly care and are often in the kitchen themselves. Fresh fish, excellent sauces and marinades, and a wide variety of toppings. Their signature bowls are the way to go, as each is thoughtfully composed with ingredients that complement each other. Their new ginger scallion bowl is my current fave. The salmon lover bowl another go-to. Casual ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. I have yet to try their special weekend meals, which is a more elevated dining experience. Another bonus: they have a rewards program which is earns you discounts over time. I'll be back!"

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."

Poke Paradise

★★★★☆ 4.4 (539) • $$

"I stopped by Poke Paradise while my car was being serviced and really enjoyed my meal! The store is small but the standard Chipotle-style experience where you make your way down the line of options. I went on a Saturday around lunchtime and there were only a couple of other people there.Everything seemed fresh and tasty! I took my order to go. There was plenty of parking since it's in a shared parking lot. Next time my car is being serviced, I'll be back!"

Poke House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (450) • $$

"My most ordered food item on DoorDash is Poke House's California hand rolls. They are beyond delicious. Such a great option for a quick and filling meal. There ingredients feel fresh, clean, and focused on providing nutritious options that still have great flavor. Their poke bowls are also a great option. They are customizable, allowing you to pick and choose what you want. Overall, very time efficient and delicious."

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!!"

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."

Go Fish Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (435) • $$

"I get takeout from here every once in a while after my friend put me on to this restaurant. This is actually my only experience with poke bowls, so I don't have anything else to compare this place to. I'd say Go Fish Poke Bar is a great choice if you're looking for a healthier option in the Stanford Shopping Center. I usually just get the normal bowl which comes with three different types of fish. I find it to be plenty filling, but if you're even hungrier, you can opt to get five fish. You're able to choose from a variety of predetermined bowls or make your own.My recommendation would be to definitely take the complementary imitation crab! It's so creamy, and I love it. Can't say I've ever had a problem with any of my bowls; the fish always tastes fresh."

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."

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."

Go Fish Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (356) • $$

"Go Fish Poke is my favorite poke chain in California. They never disappoint! The fish is always fresh and what sets them apart are the flavors they use. If you're not a fish fan, they also have a delicious miso short rib! I've never had an issue with service either. Everyone is always friendly and eager to answer any questions I may have! Definitely recommend!"

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"

lcey Poki

★★★★☆ 3.8 (321) • $$

"Icey Poki serves both poke AND rolled ice cream.PokeMy poke order was pretty good. Everything was fresh and you get a good variety of toppings, seafood and the portion size is filling. I ordered spicy tuna, seaweed salad and a bunch of other add ins. The price higher because inflation but it was a good poke bowl and I thought it was worth it.Rolled Ice CreamI wasn't a huge fan of the rolled ice cream. I thought it was less sweet and didn't have the creaminess I was looking for in my rolled ice cream. For me it wasn't a highlight when I stopped by. They do have a good toasted marshmallow. It's possible I had a bad roller though"

Fish Me Poke

★★★★☆ 3.6 (353) • $$

"Every time I come to this plaza it's for Soyful, but I was craving a type of "sushirito" & figured I should check this place out since it was a walk away. They serve both poke & burritos. When I walked in during the afternoon, it was pretty empty. They had limited seating against the walls. I ordered a Katsu Rito & Krusty Krab. Katsu Rito: (3/5) fried chicken, crab mayo, cucumber, red cabbage, rice & nori. Most places skimp out on meat but they actually put a lot. Since there is chicken, I would say this one was more dry & could've used more sauce. Or maybe add sauce on the side. The size was pretty big. I was expecting it to be a super small role. Krusty Krab: (4/5) crab, cabbage, mayo, cucumber, unagi sauce & masago eggs. The Krusty Krab had a lot more flavor due to the crab. I'd probably get this one again. Since I love saucy things, I'd probably ask for some to go as well so you can dip it. Service: there was some people in front of me, so I waited a short bit but nothing too crazy.Glad to have stumbled across this place and now I have somewhere to grab lunch when I grab soyful."

Spoonfish Poke

★★★★☆ 3.9 (280) • $$

"My favorite go-to for when I'm craving poke for lunch. A short walk from my work, Spoonfish Poke uses fresh ingredients and their poke bowls never disappoint. I always order a medium "build your own poke bowl." Friendly and helpful staff who are happy to answer any questions if it's your first time ordering (I'm a regular). Limited seating inside, but there are tables and chairs outside. Great place to have a poke bowl and people watch as it's located on the Paseo de San Antonio in Downtown San Jose by SJSU."

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!"

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."

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."

Poke House - Palo Alto

★★★★☆ 3.8 (224) • $$

"Considering that I came here from the recommendation of Stanford locals, I had low expectations and considered it kind of like college campus food. However, i was shocked by how good this was! Really fresh ingredients, various toppings, and the fish here was actually really good. The small was $20, and it was definitely worth it- i couldnt even finish my bowl. I got the small bowl with half white rice half spring mix, and then yes to the crab salad. You can choose two fish flavors, so I got the spicy miso salmon and garlic oyster tuna. (Doesn't have actual oysters, its just oyster sauce) then got many toppings!"

World Wrapps

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133) • $$

"My husband and I were staying in town for a long weekend. We were at the hotel nearby and looking for a place to get some lunch. After a walk around and a scan of the restaurants, we chose World Wrapps. It was one of the healthier options around, and they had plenty of options to choose from. It is basically a fast casual restaurant where you order at the counter and get a number for them to bring you your food. It is a relatively small restaurant with both inside and outside seating. My husband and I were both a bit cold, and the restaurant itself was cold, so we chose to sit outside where we were also cold. Had it been a bit warmer out, the experience would have been more pleasant. I ordered the chicken Tikka Masal bowl. It had a really nice flavor and was served with rice and some greens. I really enjoyed it. I do think the all of the favor was in the sauce, and not much in the rest fo the dish, which I would have preferred. However, I think that is because they make many different items from the same base items.My husband loves Chicken Caesar salad, so he really enjoyed the Chicken Caesar wrap. All in all, World Wrapps was convenient and tasty spot to grab a quick lunch."

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"

Poke'd Out Fish Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (93) • $$

"Poked out has been my go to spot to get poke this year. Staff is always friendly and I like how generous the fish portions are. It's pretty quick to grab a bowl since there's usually only a short line. The only thing that would call out is that sometimes their rice isn't consistent and can be quite mushy. I also hope they start an online order form instead of having to go through uber eats."

Poke House - Mountain View

★★★★☆ 4.3 (74) • $$

"We were craving for something healthy so we decided on some poke. Came here and super excited that you can make your own custom poke bowl! I ordered a size Medium build-your-own custom bowl. It is their most popular option, which includes 3 protein scoops, crab salad, and your choice of mix-ins, sauces, and toppings over rice or veggies.For my custom bowl, I added the following:-Base: Mixed Greens (gotta eat healthy!)-A free scoop of crab salad (omg we get this for free?! Awesome!).-3 protein scoops: Garlic Oyster Tuna (really good, my fav now!), Scottish Salmon, and Spicy Miso Salmon. -Mix Ins: I just piled most of the ingredients on top!-Sauces: adding Sriracha Aioli and Citrus Ponzu (slightly spicy with a kick!). -Additional Toppings: Just piled it all on too and added extra ginger. The guy behind the counter mixed all the ingredients pretty well and produced a nice big fresh bowl of poke. They are very generous with their portions here. Overall, it is very tasty and reminded me of my time back in Hawaii eating fresh poke by the beach. Mmm... I will come back again when I crave for some poke!"

Poke One

★★★★★ 4.7 (44)

"Love everything about this place. I do have ONE REQUEST! Please allow more than 2 DRY SEASONING toppings. I always want to get 3, but it is not allowed. Also, bring back the Chicken Karaage!"

HI City

★★★★☆ 3.6 (43)

"Saw this new spot pop up on my yelp feet and decide to try out since I love Hawaiian food. When trying Hawaiian for the first time I always go with the loco moco and musubi. Also grabbed a poke bowl to try out. Since we are all still in Shelter in Place I ordered via mobile via their website from my car. Very easy to place an order and was done in the 10-15 minutes that was stated on the site. Gave me enough time to pick up a few items I needed at the ranch. The loco moco was pretty good. Gravy was a little congealed since it had to travel back home but they gave a good portion of meat and was spiced well. Mac salad was decent and egg was cooked just right. Bag tipped over in my car but lid held everything in so no biggie. Good take on the Hawaiian classic. Also ordered a Poke bow with 2 scoops. Pretty easy to select toppings via the website. Here's what we got.Build Your Own Poke Bowl - 2 Scoops of PokeVariation: RegularPoke Base: Sushi Rice,Mix GreensBase Toppings: Cucumbers,Garlic Crab MixChoice 1: Salmon FurikakeChoice 2: Sweet Miso SalmonToppings: Corn,Green Onions,Masago,Lomi Lomi Tomatoes,Fried Onions,FurikakeSauce: House Calamansi Ponzu To be honest both types of poke tasted similar. But maybe due to them being mixed together with the sauce. Overall solid poke bowl as well. I also got a couple of the chicken spam musubi. Solid for HI food as well. If in the mood for hawaiian takeout, this was a good choice, would be back if nearby or need to shop inside 99 and have my food ready to go before heading home.TLDR; Solid spot for HI (hawaiian) grub in the mid peninsula."

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 :)"

Peruvian Poke

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"A much cleaner eating Poke place!As in healthier then most as they combine veggies and protein and it's fresh and just enough. You could eat here Daily be a little picky and you'd be quite healthy!. Happy New Year!"

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

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

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"

Go Fish Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Go Fish is my favorite poke place! I've DoorDashed from here numerous times (my app says 9 times) lol. Their poke bowls are so good! I always get their yam noodles as my base. These noodles are so yummy that I even called the place to ask where they get their yam noodles from! The fish is always so fresh and tasty too. Their lychee lemonade is also very refreshing."
