Hawaiian Poke

We've been to most of the poke places in town and this one is our favorite. Plenty of help, a varied menu (nacho base!) and some interesting desert choices satisfied our tummies, and a simple, clean, well kept store with inside seating made us comfortable. The staff was friendly and quick. We will be back for more!

Amazing tasting healthy food, good quality fresh ingredients. I eat here up to three times a week, easily top 3 best places in Livermore. Nice staff, quick service, manager is a very nice old man. I highly recommend the spicy mayo sauce. One of the few restaurants that gives you a large portion size for a fair price, if you like sushi this place is great.

Friendly staff. Generous amount of portions topped with plenty of veggies. Great spicy sauces, even mild.

This restaurant gives enourmous sized portions. Like I came here a few months ago and the portions were already quite big, but this time they literally give you enourmous portions. The toppings are diverse, lots of sauces, they even have other items on their menu. Taste alone, it isn't the best poke I have ever eaten(this is a high standard to beat), but the value is likely the best in the Bay Area and the taste and flavors are very high quality(4.5 stars).

Food is great, taste fresh.,just feel a little rushed deciding what to put in the bowl when asked by the workers every time I go there

Food was amazing, it was phenomenal and the style of making the artisan of food was breathtaking. I also love how a coworker by the name of Jack was very nice and an outgoing employee. Overall, I give this place a 11/10 I would suggest all of you guys to come to this place.

Good Poke place. Fish was fresh tasting and the portions were generous. Good amount of options as well. Price was pretty standard, and the employees were all super nice.

Delicious poke with very generous servings. The Avocado and Mango can be added with no extra charge and a lot of topping choices! Only 2 sizes - medium or large. Free Miso soup from 3pm onwards. I would go back again anytime.

We love this place! Getting a poke bowl here is our main motivation to go to the premium outlet! It’s a 50 minute drive for us but we make sure to stop and eat there regardless of time of the day. The ingredients are way more fresh than the poke bowls we had in south bay, they have more topping options, miso soup os great, and the price is fair.

Update 2013-Jun The prices have gone up but the portions have gone down. The price used to be justified by their heavy-handed portions of proteins that would almost make the cover importantly to close, but now there's plenty of room in the bowl (& in your wallet after you pay $$) *ouch* only poke place that gets me full w a medium sized $10 bowl. they're pretty good at overstuffing the bowl and not being stingy w the vast array of add on options. currently my favorite poke place in and out of the bay area

My first time to order poke... A definite must when I'm in the Livermore area! So many fresh ingredients.. you really can have it your way 🙆🙆

Great choice with fresh salad, fish and free toppings. Reasonably priced. Delicious!!!

This place is awesome. Best quality, best quality, best service, best automaphere, best price!

BEST poke place across the tri-valley area. They are insanely generous with servings and don't upcharge for any toppings. They are not at all stingy with their fish portions. If you order properly, one medium bowl is definitely to share and hard to eat on your own. I'd highly suggest doing half white rice and half salad for your base (many people don't know they can do that) and get spicy poke, creamy poke, spicy mayo, and sweet unagi for the most dreamy sauce combinations. They also often run a free small miso soup and green tea ice cream while supplies last. Overall one of my fav go-to places for lunch/dinner. I never leave reviews but I just have to for this place :)

This was my first time here. I loved the experience. The girls working are so friendly and explained the process. They were generous with the portions. I got a 3 fish and it will last me 3 meals. I will definitely come back and refer people here.

This worker Mackenzie made my experience so enjoyable! Her welcoming tone and fast service made me feel like I was really enjoying fresh poke on a beach in Hawaii!!!

I was craving a poke bowl and have been to this restaurant before in the past. So I figured I would go again since it was close by and I was familiar w this place. And, keeping it real..it did not disappoint!! Not at all. In fact the young gal that helped me was very sweet and very helpful to me w my order. I thought that was very nice and friendly of her. And the best part of it all is that apparently I either ordered the right pole bowl or decided to come n eat here on the right night bc included in my meal was a free miso soup along w a free scoop of strawberry ice cream. So, that was an awesome added bonus!! Personally, I really like this place and would highly recommend it for a poke bowl. You won't be disappointed...I promise you that!! If not, at least give it a try sometime... you'll be glad that you did. Enjoy~

I really like this place! The food is always fresh, and the girls who work here are so friendly and helpful. It’s one of my favorite spots to grab a meal.

Far and above the best Poke in the area. All of the ingredients here are super high quality and portions are generous. Every time I come here I am fully satisfied! Don’t forget to ask for the Miso soup as well!

Very fresh fish. Good sized servings for the price. Dining area is a bit small.

2 visits. Good place for Poke Bowls. Servings are larger than expected. The fish is fresh and the staff are friendly. This place is close to work so I will return. Good value.

This is our go to poke place with a great mix of various fish and alway fresh. I enjoy the miso soup and ice cream afterwards.

Poke is fresh and always enjoy coming here when I'm in the area. Workers are friendly and worth the bowl. Lots of food and delicious

Overall positive experience. To the owners, one suggestion. Please place the labels for the toppings next to them - the chalk board at the entrance isn't much help when you're down the line. Mainly because I ended up with mango, which I'm allergic to and took a bite out of.

Hawaiian Poke is one of my new favorite lunch spots. The fish is always fresh and the service is always great. Everyone working at this place works so hard to take care of the customers. You can tell this is a well managed restaurant with strong shift leaders. I highly recommend Hawaiian Poke for your poke experience!

The portions and toppings are great and amazing. Had some stomach issues the next day after doing 3 scoops salmon so perhaps try another fish but in general the poke and sauces are all great.

I have been in this joint for a number of times. I love poke myself and there is not too many options around. I understand how the line works that orders are received per station. Recently, I went in for a to-go order for 4 bowls. The specific worker, younger, tall, Asian girl took my order. Having to order 4 bowls at a time is difficult when 2 people are speaking with you at the same time. I politely said, "one sec". The girl turned around where I can still see part of her face and made rather snarky reaction to her co-worker. I let it go. However, it did trigger me at that time and I could not let it pass without having to voice out my opinion. It's rather rude and unprofessional to do that infront of a customer. I completed my order and saw an man sitting in the dinning who seems like a manager. I asked and spoke to him. While I communicated my concern, he does not seem bothered to what I said. But I voiced out that this is not acceptable attitude especially if you are in the service industry.

This is an average store for me. Price is kind of high. Food is fresh. however, pending who is making your poke, you might end up with a full bowl or just half full bowl. They are not enforce the basic standards measurements. Servers are mostly friendly and fast to help,but sometime thet are busy talking or taking care online order make u wonder they saw u or not. Overall a 3 stars. Don't go when they are ready to close, like most restaurants service drop when almost close.

I ordered DoorDash for pick up. When I entered the store, no one say hello or welcome in to me. I said 'Hello' twice at the counter, but no one responded. There were three girls chatting together. Finally, a Mexican employee confirmed my order. The service was terrible.

My 1st time here and as a Food service manager I was not impressed by the staff. Food is amazing! Service not so amazing! Did not feel welcomed at all. I did feel as if I bothered the little girl's gossip session... they were all on their phones and not inviting. It was awkwardly quiet. I sat to have my dinner there. As I was eating a lady walked in and she was treated as if she bothered them as well. Soon after, a group of boys walked in and all of a sudden.... all of them stood in their assembly line to assist them! Poorly managed.

They said they're open until 9 pm and even though we got there at 8:54pm they refused us service and they were just standing there and all the food looks available. Anyway if you have an hour issues you did honor it.

I have been here several times and have always enjoyed their pokė but my last visit was very disappointing. I bought large bowls for my family and after an hour of finishing our bowls, we had stomach aches and had several visits to the bathroom, if you know what I mean. Serving seafood takes a lot of preparation to make sure surfaces are clean, food are fresh and everyone taking the proper care to not contaminate seafood. Leftover seafood should always be thrown out. For me, it only takes this one bad experience to keep me from coming back. I'm sorry for this post but restaurants need to be careful with how food is served.

Unhygienic service. The poke maker did not wash his hands, then proceeded to glove only one hand and his ungloved hand was repeatedly used to clean his nose. It was beyond disgusting. I told him the fact he keeps on touching is nose is making it extremely difficult for me to continue to order my bowl. Unfortunately, I had the throw the food away. another server also opened the tap when she got up to make an order but didn’t wash her hands either. It’s important to wash hands or not clean your nose while you are making food for a customer. It’s is very important not to spread disease.

Everytime I come here, the workers are rude. I enter, and three of them just stare at me with no hello. I get curt responses when I tell them my order, and then they plomps my plate onto the counter. Mind you, it was just me in the line, so it’s not like they were in a rush or stressed. Last I was here, one of the workers was raising their voice at me when I was still deciding on what sauces I need.

I started going there about 2 years ago since we moved to the city near by. Had visited about 10 times. I will not go back there for the following reasons: 1. Quality of food drastically reduced - from above average in 2021 to unable to eat by Apr 2023. Fish is sometimes clearly spoiled but still got served - I know fish because I lived in Japan for 10+ years. We got bad stomach three times in a row! I went again to give them the benefit of doubt, but just can't go back anymore. 2. Prices are not justifiable for the quality. Their medium size bowl ($15) and large bowl ($18) are the same size - the difference is large size has one more scoop of fish. However, their one scoop is literally 4 cubes! When I asked to add some, they tole me that is one scoop, with a straight-face. 3. Service is bad. There are only part-time young kids working there and they really could not care less. I have not seen the same face more than twice at this place. 4. Overall cleanliness is lacking. Everyone only wears one glove, but using both hands to handle and touch food, credit cards, cash all at the same time.

I bought sushi burrito and it came out looking a bit small so i asked for it to be remade. I wasn’t even upset at this point because mistakes happen and that’s fine, but my issue was how they handled it. the other girls tried gaslighting us into thinking that was the regular size of the burrito. after some back and forth they remade it but you tell me becuase i think one is clearly larger. saying the second photo is the regular size is CRAZY

Found a hair in the bowl. Last time the spicy tuna was rotten. This used to be my go to place. Not planning on going back till I hear something about ownership change. The place has gone down the drain since the ownership change.

I have been a regular customer at Hawaiian Poke and recently, I have been very disappointed with the steep increases in price for their bowls. I understand that costs go up, but it is hard to justify when the experience has not improved and has actually gotten WORSE. Every time I come in, they are out of multiple items. What makes it even more frustrating is that I always visit before peak lunch or dinner hours, so there really is no excuse for so many things to be unavailable. This has become a consistent issue, not just a one-time problem. If prices are going to increase, customers should at least be able to rely on the menu being fully stocked. How does it make sense that customers are being forced to spend more money but then walk in unable to order what they came in for? Paying more while consistently having fewer options does not feel fair. I hope management addresses both the pricing and inventory issues, because right now it is difficult to justify coming back.

We ordered DoorDash here and was sadly disappointed with the size of the bowl. Too much sauce too. Will never do this again!

Food is fine but the service is way below average. The servers seemed to be annoyed by customers who enter the store during the posted business hour. Their impatient attitude made me wonder if it was my fault to interrupt their chitchat-meal break, or shift. And the crazy loud music made it really hard for the customer and server to hear each other.
