The Poke Co

"I had ordered through Uber Eats for pick up. They had a buy one small poke, get one free! It was around $25 for everything, such a great deal! I had ordered the spicy salmon and salmon poke bowl with white rice and spring salad mix, topped it with crunchy onion (so addicting), edamame and cucumber, spicy Mayo and Hawaiian island dressing. My co worker had the same order as mine. I had ordered a dessert but they ran out of it and asked if I wanted something else in replacement. I said sure, I'm happy they solved the issue with replacing it with another item. The smallPortion was super packed and topped with goodies! Worth the money. They had a lot of smoothies and drinks to choose from. I have attached a menu. The restaurant was clean. They had a lot of seating inside and outside. I am definitely returning again."

"Love stopping here for lunch after some shopping at Kobeys swap meet.I love their Korean chicken. Perfectly fried and the sauce is delicious. I also love their Mac salad. It's flavorful and not mushy.Coconut shrimp was alright but will probably get something else next time.Get the combo if you want tons of food.The lemonade was delicious and refreshing.Friendly service."

Poke' 123

★★★★☆ 4.1 (165) • $$

"Found this place on Coronado Island because I wanted a true Sushi burrito with seaweed wrapper, not a flour tortilla wrapper like some places. It's called Norrito here. They even have Dole whip. They place is small and modern but they have outdoor seating only. The staff are helpful and friendly. They have a very good selection of proteins even grilled chicken, can you believe that? I like that they have a mixed ahi flavor. We custom made ours. They have a machine that pre-makes their seaweed rice wrapper. My son custom made his poke bowl. I also liked that they had roasted garlic as well as onions. Prices are very decent. Would definitely come back here again. [60R,2023]"

It's Raw Poke Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (950) • $$

"This place is so RAW and serves fantastic authentic poke from the mainland! I have tried a few spots when visiting San Diego, and this one is my favorite. In my opinion, they might be better than Hawaiian Fresh, another San Diego poke spot. We arrived late in the afternoon, and there was street parking, but I could see this street getting busier later in the day. There was also a decent line out the door, but it went by quickly. They have a small storefront with drinks and snacks to pair with your poke. Near the cashier, they have all the poke-in trays. Their Spicy Ahi and Furikake Salmon were amazing. The Spicy Ahi was creamy and had just the right amount of spice. The Furikake was similar to a teriyaki sauce. I just got rice for the sides, but I tried out their mac salad, which had stringy noodles, and I loved it. Next time, I'm getting one side of rice and mac salad with my poke plate. I wish they had given a more significant portion of food and more furikake. I would rather have them put it all over the rice, similar to other places, but I understand people enjoy different portions."

8th & B Poke

★★★★★ 4.8 (143)

"AHMAZZZZZING POKE. This is definitely my new favorite poke spot in SD. Found street parking a block away on a Saturday around 12:30ish. My boyfriend tried to come here on a Friday at around 3pm and they were sold out. They close shop once they sell out so definitely go early! There's not a lot of seating, about 4 counter height chairs inside and 2 tables outside but most customers take it to go. Staff was really friendly and helpful. I got the $19 large which comes with 3 scoops of poke and added a side of shrimp tempura (comes with 2) for additional $3. Suuuuuper worth the price for the amount of food I got and fresh quality! The 3 scoops of poke I got:- Creamy scallop salmon masago (10/10) OMG where has this been my whole life?! Perfect for salmon and scallop lovers. No other poke spot has this combo and it works out perfectly well. Hope they never take this option away.- Shiso wasabi yellowtail (9/10): The wasabi was subtle and I really enjoyed this. Was thinking maybe a tad of ginger would enhance the flavor but still great overall.- Kali ahi tuna (8/10): This was creamy and definitely a common flavor at other poke shops as well. I appreciate how they added 2 slices of fresh avocado to top it off instead of mixing chunks of avocado in with my poke.I really wanted to try the miso black garlic salmon but unfortunately it was sold out by around 12:45pm! I love how they include some kani, seaweed salad, and spicy tuna with my large poke. White rice is the only option available for the base. Wished they offered a mac salad or green salad option but that's not a deal breaker for me. We loved the poke so much that we bought 2 containers of poke to go. Will definitely be back!"

369 Ramen & Chinese Food

★★★★☆ 3.8 (453) • $$

"The Chinese food is consistently very good. We especially love their orange chicken. They offer awesome lunch specials during the day. For everyday Chinese food, it is very good quality. The service here is super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is very open, bright and clean. We liked it here."

Tajima Ramen East Village

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1072) • $$

"If you want amazing ramen in a nice atmosphere, look no further! I got the "white" Tajima ramen and was blown away at the tenderness of the pork and cook on the ramen noodles. Service was as expected. Try the special!"

Fish & Things Poke Bar

★★★★★ 4.7 (83)

"A new poke place in PB! Only one block from the beach! Super easy location. The building looks brand new. High ceiling and large windows. We came here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. The service was great. Multiple servers were ready to take our orders first the way. I ordered a regular poke bowl. I really liked that they have many flavored "dressed" poke options, comparing to the typical poke places that have mostly non flavored fish then asked you for the sauces. I tried their spicy tuna, kimchi tako, and F&T mix. Plenty of topping options. I really enjoyed my poke bowl. The large bowl is a really good deal that my parents shared and enjoyed it too. I can see this place doing well and will visit again!"

Pokedon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (249) • $$

"We were craving Poke, and I wanted to try somewhere other than Poke 1/2, which is close to our place, and I found this place on Yelp. I came here around 6 pm on Friday night, and it was basically empty but I would imagine they are busier during the week with college kids. They have small and large bowls and I ordered small, and my husband got the large bowl. You can do the add-on cucumber, furikake, etc , but seaweed salad and some other things were extra $. I had albacore, spicy tuna, and yellowtail. They tasted fresh and it was tasty. My husband was pretty happy with his choice too. I think it's better than the poke 1/2 which is just down the street as far as fish quality wise so we will come back again."

Hawaiian Fresh Seafood At Centerpark Labs

★★★★★ 4.6 (964) • $$

"New place, who 'dis? Finally made my way to their new location and it's looking great! All bright and shiny; I especially got a kick out of the floor looking like fish scales (I see what you did there). There's some tables inside, but you want to be outdoors where that San Diego sun hits right. As per usual, I ordered a poke plate with three scoops. - Spicy Salmon | Love the little spice kick added to this poke. This goes without saying (again), but the salmon is incredibly tender and just feels like it melts in your mouth. Highly recommend. - Garlic Salmon | I've talked about this before in my previous Yelp review, but this poke mixture is comprised of their silky soft salmon with bits of garlic and crunchy sweet onions. Sesame oil is massaged in and gives it that nutty, earthy flavor. It's one of my favorites. - Shoyu Ahi | A little more firm than the salmon, but still tender nevertheless. The thin slices of onion give it a nice contrasting crunch. I also bought an excessive amount of cookies who are made by a company called Caked, which is not too far from HFS (8680 Miralani Drive Ste. 129, San Diego, CA 92126). I have a more detailed review at their own Yelp page, but the gist of it is that there's some pretty unique cookies to try out. One of my favorites is the Matcha Green Tea cookie, but all time favorite is Birthday Cake cookie."

The Bowl Ramen & Izakaya

★★★★★ 4.5 (41)

"Not a very intuitive name, but The Bowl is a new ramen shop and izakaya that has opened in the former space of an OB sushi restaurant. The owners are the same as The Joint which is at the end of the block but on the opposite corner. What struck me when you walked in was the inordinate number of maneki-neko (beckoning cats) that adorned the interior. Not only were these Japanese figurines lined up at the bar, but they were also present on a giant plaque along the right wall and above the bar near the ceiling. Their presence is supposed to bring good luck to the owner, however this felt like overkill as there were more than 100 of these cat statues with a raised left arm.The menu featured five styles of ramen and four rice bowls on the first page. The other page listed the cold and hot izakaya items and desserts. The bone broth for the ramen contained pork and chicken which was cooked in-house for 16 hours. I chose the Chicken Gyoza to start my meal. The pan fried dumplings came as six pieces filled with minced chicken and veggies. A spicy dipping sauce was provided in the middle of the dish. They had a decent crunch to them.The House Ramen with extra noodles was my entree choice. Pork chashu, aji tama (1/2 soft-boiled marinated egg), menma (marinated bamboo shoots), bean sprouts, and negi (green onions) were the other components in the bowl. Despite the long preparation time, the broth lacked umami and needed more seasoning. The four chashu pieces were chewy and not as tender as I have eaten elsewhere.Even without the additional noodles, the price was expensive. Three of the five ramen (including the veggie version) cost more than $20 which is above the local market standard. Maybe the price was higher because there is less competition in OB. The service was decent although I felt that more attention was paid if you sat at the bar versus one of the tables. I moved over to an empty bar stool after initially picking one of the four-top tables."

Poki Bowl

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $$

"Got a large poke bowl to share. I'm not too big on poke so just tasted parts of it. I'm not too big on raw fish but like tofu. We didn't order the tofu as a protein as it seems a bit expensive if you just wanted tofu since it's the same price as the fish options. (I wish if you just wanted tofu as a protein that it would be cheaper)But it did taste fresh and was good. Loved the toppings (I did eat most of the toppings) They have a happy hour and the spam musubi looks good and I might try that but I'd be back. Ordering is easy. And service is great. Happy this place opened in civita. Way better than the taquito place."

Poke Etc

★★★★★ 4.5 (796) • $$

"Finally had the opportunity to try Poke Etc. SD Hawaiian Restaurant located in National City, CA, after watching videos of many food bloggers talking about how great this restaurant is. There was a blogger who traveled all the way from Los Angeles to try it. Poke Etc., knocked it out of the park with their poke plate. It's hands down some of the best I've had in San Diego!! The tuna & salmon was very fresh. The portions are smaller than your average poke bowl for the price. Our group tried the following plates and give it a 5/5: -Spicy Garlic Tuna (BOMB). -Chicken Katsu -Shoyu Chicken -Salmon poke w/spicy Mayo.-Ohana comboThey have so many food options.The restaurant was nice and clean. I enjoyed the Hawaiian music and decor. The restaurant also sells many Hawaiian food products and some clothing. The employees behind the counter were very welcoming. There's only indoor seating with enough parking. The plaza where restaurant is located at is very old needs renovation and not in the best area, but still looking forward to going back. Give it a try! Happy Yelping :)"

Kazanori Pokemoon Express

★★★★☆ 4.1 (130) • $

"While Yelpers may currently report that Kazanori is permanently closed, my recent (delicious) lunch here begged to differ! When I found myself browsing the Westfield UTC food court craving a good rice bowl, Kazanori hit the spot. Such delicious yet convenient Asian flavors! I ordered the BBQ rice bowl -- the char siu pork delicious and tender, meanwhile the entire entree was a fantastic meal option. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, and my egg was satisfyingly set, yet runny enough to flavor the rest of my bowl. Extremely polite service; they went above and beyond for timely and flavorful food. I can only speak to their rice entree, but the menu also has poke and ramen options. Would definitely visit again!"

Pacific POKE 56

★★★★☆ 4.3 (53)

"Overall a good experience at Pacific Poke! We've been here twice and both times left full and happy. What I liked: - fresh and tasty ingredients. I went right when they opened and they seemed to have restocked all the fish, sides, salad, and condiments in the morning - the young female who works there is friendly and efficient- the bowls are filling and I appreciate how they give decent portions for the sides and fish - now they don't have a fee for credit card charges more than $15 Would definitely return again!"

Poke Chop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (345) • $$

"I came to San Diego for a family vacation and was looking for a place for dinner. After looking through yelp, this poke spot had great reviews so I knew I had to try it! The reviews were right. I loved this place. And everyone was so nice. If you're looking for poke in San Diego I recommend here. There premium yellowtail is so delicious and worth the extra cost. I got a small and could not even finish my bowl. The sauces were amazing and everything was fresh and tasty! I wish I lived in San Diego so I could come more often!There are a few tables inside for you to dine in but most people picked up and took it to go. The parking lot offers 45 minute free parking which was nice! This place is a definite must go to!"

Ahi Poke

★★★★☆ 3.6 (267) • $$

"I finally decided to give this place a shot and overall felt it was just OKAY.I am used to the extremely friendly and clean Poke 1+1/2 (north park/convoy), whom offer free (even double) scoops of avocado and yellowtail is the same cost.Overall felt this bowl was smaller than those I've tried in the past. First impression: The air was nice and breezy outside, maybe 75º and when I walked in, it felt like 90º which grossed me out for a fish place. It was half poke restaurant, half swap meet. They had a random assortment of electronics and random boots for sale like a yard sale. Felt it was a little gross lol. The lady working was very short and not overly friendly. Felt like she wanted me to pick quick so I could leave (and keep in mind I already knew what I wanted). Overall the rice was very good and the fish was fine, not sure how trustworthy/fresh it was, but knocking stars because the place seemed unkept and way too hot for comfort- maybe they should open the door for circulation?Also knocking another star because for 75cents I received two TINY slivers of avocado extra. I had an avocado at home and ended up adding it to my bowl. Plus yellowtail does not cost more at other poke places.Anyway. Not bad, but weird experience. If they clean up their location/turn on the AC/open the door for air, I'd give it another shot."

Poke Chop

★★★★★ 4.6 (735) • $$

"Came here on a Saturday around 4 pm. There was free street parking around the blocks. A few people were in front of us ordering and then a few people came behind us. Inside has no seating and is pretty small and dim. The outside patio has 3-4 tables for small groups to sit at. Ordering was super easy. We all got medium bowls with white rice which comes with 3 scoops of protein. I got 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of seared tuna. I got all 4 veggie sides with extra corn and I got the spicy mayo and jalapeño wasabi sauces. They had a good selection of toppings as well. Everything was extremely fresh and delicious!! We were al very impressed with the size and quality of the bowls. We all were able to finish but just barely. I would definitely come again, some of the best poke bowls I've had!"

Poki One N Half

★★★★☆ 4 (186) • $$

"Very fresh ingredients, fish and vegetables. Wonderfully helpful staff, cheerful even. A lot of options for protein, addons and sauces. I'd like to see options for tabiko, Wasabi, and pickled ginger. And it would be nice to get some spice. I had both spicy sauces available, and still thought it very mild. I had the salmon, tuna, and cali mix, and enjoyed it all with some brown rice and lettuce, and many of the possible addons. Some of my salmon was cut into large pieces or not cut through between pieces. Made it a bit hard to eat. Good place to do takeout from. I will definitely go back for that very fresh fish. They definitely live up to their tag line - good people, good heart, good ingredients."

Poki One N Half

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1275) • $$

"If you have never had a Poki bowl, I think it's a must try for anyone that likes sushi, fish, or ceviche. From what I read long ago about it, it is a Hawaiian dish with Japanese influence. It's typically cut up/cubed raw fish mixed with sauce served with rice and/or greens and other toppings to complete the deliciousness.To start, you select the size you want and based on that they give you a certain amount of scoops of fish or other protein.Small - 2 scoops ($15.95 as of Feb 2024)Regular - 3 scoops ($16.95 as of Feb 2024)Large - 4 scoops ($17.95 as of Feb 2024)You select a base: white rice, brown rice, mixed greens, quinoa (add $1.00) or half and half. I usually get mixed greens and brown rice. Then you select your proteins. I usually go with salmon, tuna, and scallops. They also have shrimp, a Cali mix, minced lobster, spicy tuna, tofu, octopus, chicken, and chickpea.You select your sauce: original poki, hot poki, fire poki, ponzu, spicy mayo, wasabi mayo, or yuzu pepper. I usually go with fire poki. I have heard people mix sauces, but I usually stick to one. Then they mix your sauce(s) with your protein in a separate bowl and place it on top of your base.The last thing you select are toppings: seaweed salad, edamame, jalapenos, krab meat (I think it's imitation), white onions, green onions, seaweed flakes, ginger, carrots, corn, crunchy garlic and/or sesame oil. I order toppings based on what I feel like having, but everything is good.The poki bowls are good. Service used to be the worst thing here, but I think those employees have been replaced. Service is consistently good now. Lots of drink options and fountain drinks. Not a ton of seating, but people are usually in and out after eating.Parking is usually okay unless you are here during peak hours. If that's the case, you might have trouble finding parking.I'm glad I gave this location another chance. I don't mind the drive to Clairemont Mesa, but this i smuch more convenient after shopping at Mitsuwa.4 / 5: Poki or Poke bowls (I've seen it spelled both ways)4 / 5: Service4 / 5: Cleanliness4 / 5: Overall"

Hyshinu

★★★★☆ 4 (409) • $$

"Hyshinu was my lunch time destination after running an errand in the El Cajon area. The suite was located next to the movie theater in the Rancho San Diego Towne Center which meant parking was not an issue. The seating capacity was less than 50 customers which included the countertop adjacent to the kitchen preparation area. Ramen, sushi, and poke were featured, however I wanted noodles for my meal which is what this review will be about.You started by choosing one of three meats (beef, pork, chicken) before deciding on one of six types of broth. Beef as a protein for a ramen bowl was a rarity. I chose pork, but unfortunately my top two picks for broth (Hybrid Black, Fish) were unavailable so I settled for the Premium Shoyu. Each order included a soft boiled egg, green onions, bean sprouts, garlic chips, corn, red ginger, and seaweed. I excluded the garlic chips but included the rest of the toppings.The bowl took a while to be prepared even though it was not particularly busy. After waiting around 15 minutes, I received my food which was a reasonable portion size for the price tag. The slices of pork were a disappointment as the meat was chewy and not melt in your mouth soft as I have tasted elsewhere. The remaining components were fine. For the quality of the ramen product I tried, my rating of Hyshinu was a middle of the road three stars."

Ahipoke

"The found is great, but the process is painful. When we got there, only one person (possible owner) was working the counter (no big deal). He was at the register checking someone out and came over to us to tell us that the card reader was down and they were only accepting cash; we said no problem. We placed have our order, and between making the two bowls, a second employee came out to finish making them and the first employee went back to register - he then came back a few minutes later to tell us the card reader was down and confirmed we were paying cash and then asked to see out cash. Showed him we had cash and he let the other employee finish making our order. We get to the register and the employee who asked to see our cash gives us a total. We pay him in cash but did not get our change; the employee said they do not have any cash on hand. One of our bowls was more expensive than the other (no extras were added), when asked about it the employee said "that's the price". The prices listed do not match other menus and marketing materials, and in four different places we found conflicting prices with a $2-$4 difference depending on which item you looked at. Overall, the food was excellent, but staffing and management is a bit disastrous."

PB Poke House

★★★★★ 4.7 (658) • $$

"Legit hawaiian style poke. Went here during our week-long vacation in SD. Was so good we went twice. Got a couple large bowls of 50/51 and the classic shoyu. I'm super into the fresh chilies on my food lately, mostly because the heat of a lot of foods nowadays are lacking, but also because I like the freshness of them. The shoyu is so classic, and the marination before is a MUST in my book. All of these other poke places just aren't doing it right. The spicy ahi was spicy and creamy like it should be. We also got a couple of spam musubis for my daughter, who somehow made a giant mess out of a handheld food. They were super cool about kids being in there, which is really important to us nowadays. Bravo to this place. They did not disappoint."

We had just gotten there before the lunch rush and we got a great table near the back where we can be obnoxious! Much laughter ensued!"
