Poke House - San Mateo

Finally! A poke place that does it right Clean shop. Fresh Fish. Friendly staff :DI ordered a Tuna Lover Bowl from their Signature Bowl menu for $19.95--worth every penny. It came with three styles of tuna: spicy tuna, garlic oyster tuna, and ahi tuna. I've also tried their Charred Salmon Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. I've never seen it done like this at any other poke spot. They pile on the spicy salmon and then char it with a torch--such a masterpiece.Thank you Poke House. See you guys soon!

I was craving something on the healthier side and saw on Yelp that there was a Mendocino Farms a mile from where I was. I drove over there, spotted Poke House, and reconsidered. I like Mendocino Farms, but I thought to myself, "Why not try something new?" I've only eaten poke a few times in my life, and it seemed like as good a time as any to add to that number. Now, I'm sure there was a fair amount of sodium in my bowl, but it was definitely low carb compared to most take out choices I would have made.I'm giving four stars for the food and five for the service. Malia, the employee who took my order, was extremely patient while I asked questions about a number of the items on display. I ordered the large Build Your Own, which comes with four scoops of protein. If memory serves, I went with the spicy miso salmon, spicy tuna, garlic oyster tuna, and tofu. I chose the base of zucchini noodles, the free scoop of crab salad, got most of the free veggies and paid extra for the seaweed salad. It was such a huge portion - the bowl was overflowing! My order lasted multiple meals. I went to say thank-you again and good-bye before heading out, and Malia gave me a couple of extra sauce containers to go.I tipped Malia a couple dollars and I wish I had left more!

Good stuff! Clean, spacious, lots of yummy choices. friendly staff. Parking can be a challenge, but there's a garage under the lot that has ample spots and is free. Nice ambiance with lots of natural light. Lots of other shops and grocery nearby so you can get some other tasks done too!

Currently my favorite poke place. Good fish quality, good portion sizes, good variety for selection of toppings, good flavors, and also located in a nice plaza.

I stopped off here while driving to the city. I am a fan of Poke House but this was just so-so. The fish was not good quality, they had a lot of discolored salmon which is a big turn-off for me. I felt bad but had to ask the lady to pull them out which took a while.

I've visited a few day times -- just before, during, and after the lunch rush and was able to get my food quickly, even with building a custom bowl. The staff is always helpful and patient, even when I've seen folks who are struggling to decide what they want. The quality is solid. I always get spicy tuna and there's never that "fishiness" taste of older fish. Even with the small bowl I usually have enough for two servings, but maybe my preferences are closer to European serving sizes vs American, which I usually find is too much. Terrific choices for those whose nutritional needs focus on protein and reduced carbs (but of course you could get white rice if that's not an issue for you).The dining area is clean and what you'd expect from a quick service restaurant. Easy access for those with mobility challenges and there's a restroom onsite.

Definitely recommend this spot! Quick service, clean location, generous portion, fun staff~ the server even wrapped my bowl for safety! Will definitely come back, fresh delicious poke!

Food was ok, could have been a lot better with fresh warm soft rice and not so much of it! Very shady on toppings...example if there are 6 toppings and I tell you I only want one and ask for a little extra of that one...you should give me extra! My daughter's bowl was mostly rice, mine was not but shady on the topping so much that my bowl looked so small (it was a small, that looked like someone already ate 1/2 of). My husband got the rolls. That is the only reason I am saying MAYBE to this restaurant. He got 3 decent sized rolls and was happy. He and our daughter also liked their drink selection.

My absolute favorite poke place to go to. The fish always tastes fresh, the toppings are everything I would want, and they are always generous. I never leave this place unsatisfied and I'm always so full every time. I'm so happy they have been opening more locations too. My only complaint is that the prices are higher than most other poke places but I still choose to come here every time
