Basa Seafood Express

The food was bomb. $7.5 for poke is reasonable for this Inflation and SF. They have limit poke option, only 3 kinds. They have other kind of sushi fish and the price is reasonable. The squid leg was good and fresh, I wish the portion is more. The owner was really nice and patient to take my order since I didn’t know what to get.

Been going here for 3 years and have had their food at least 30x. Basa Seafood Express is literally the best bang for buck while also just having the BEST poke in the city + the people who run this place are amazing ❤️ support small businesses

Local sushi/seafood place that a longtime coworker told me to go to. I got the spicy salmon poke, a to-go mixed container including a California roll and other sushi, and lastly a Philadelphia roll for $26. The price was reasonable with the quality and the amount. The salmon for the Philadelphia rolls had a smokey flavor and large individual pieces. I wish the poke had been a little more flavorful but otherwise, I thought the sushi was extremely fresh, and I would go back. Service was pretty fast as well. It is only for pick-up/to-go with only a few benches/chairs for you to wait.

A no frills place to get some basic rolls and poke, but the star is the sashimi. So fresh and delicious! You do have to pay extra for them to slice it for you.

One of my favorite spots for affordable sushi. My favorites are the 49ers roll, spider roll, spicy salmon poke. I tried their hamachi sashimi and it was really good too!

Got the spicy salmon poke for $8 and a medium rice for $2. $10 minimum for card. The guy who rang me up was really friendly and the poke tasted good. It has a slight spicy kick with a little sweetness but the sauce doesn't overpower the salmon. Hard to find parking though. Quick service, take out style. Definitely coming back for more poke and maybe one of their rolls.

I was in the neighborhood and noticed this spot had amazing reviews for their poke so I had to give it a try. And wow, I’m so glad I did! The spicy salmon poke was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and honestly a solid 10/10. Plus, the prices are unbeatable. Just $8 for the spicy poke and $2.50 for a large rice. A fantastic deal for both your taste buds and your wallet!

I've had this place on my radar for a while now, the only thing holding me back being my student budget and an hour of commuting—all of which were very worth it when I FINALLY got around to trying it out here. I came in unsure of what to get near closing time and was recommended the poke. It was so good, the best I've had in a while. The two friends I had with me thought the same! We ate right then and there and one of my friends went ahead and ordered some more. The fish was fresh even by the end of the day. The sauces were all very complimentary (light and mildly spicy) and did not mask the flavor of the fish. Seaweed salad was crunchy and sweet. Even the rice is good, but it's a separate charge. Overall, I plan on coming back.

Double Salmon avocado roll is potentially my favorite in the city? Made fresh, rice is soft, fish is soft, just delicious. However the day I went, the tobiko and ikura sides I bought tasted old and overly fishy.

Delicious !!! Got the combo and ate at the park nearby… it was ready in minutes and super fresh! Highly recommend for the price!

A small hole in the wall with tasty sushi, poke and seafood. I been trying to come here for while and k gut to try it for the first time today. This is a small space that does big let you eat inside so make sure to take it to go. They have a large selection of sushi rolls and different poke. They have a few rolls in display and most poke can be picked up to do. However if you want to order there, it takes at least 10min to make. I got two sushi rolls, tuna and spicy salmon and spent approx $12, definitely good value. I will be back soon!

the spicy salmon poke meal is unbeatable for the price! ~$12 after tax for high quality salmon and tasty sauces + a good portion of rice and seaweed salad. mixed all together, it’s a good amount of food for one person. the fish here is also great to buy at this price point if you’re making your own sushi rolls at home.

Extremely impressed! DoorDash order was well packed, quick and all of the fish very fresh!! Great value for money with the Poke and sushi combo. I love seaweed salad and the mini free one is such a bonus! I will definitely be back. The salmon poke is amazing.

Amazing food affordable quality fish. Sashimi in any restaurant would be over priced for the amount. Every time I’m in sf I think about the place, sad they close at 6pm but second time this month coming , having the chance!!!

Consistent quality and taste for years! Perfect if you’re stopping by on your way to a picnic at Dolores park. I get shoyu tuna and the spicy salmon every time.

The seafood was very delicious and filling, I really enjoy the poke salmon and the clam chowder. It was definitely worth the walk to grab it. I too wish there was indoor seating available to eat but there are chairs so you could eat while sitting down but overall loved the meal

This place is excellent for grabbing lunch during work. Super quick. Their fish is FRESH and the quality is seriously great. The prices are pretty great too. The serving could be larger sure but I don’t find that I need more. Their seaweed salad is impressively good and always fresh, never tastes off. I go here like as often as possible. Never had anything off or bad.

Without a doubt the best bang for your buck for food in the mission. Where else can you get lunch for $8, let alone a bowl full of sashimi-grade salmon? The fish is genuinely really good quality - way better than the sushi restaurants down the street that charge 3x. I love this place.

Quick grab and go lunch spot! Best Ca rolls and spicy salmon poke!! They are super affordable, it's still under $10 per order! Love their clam chowder!! Clam chowder is MUST!!

Service was brief and quick to get food out. I liked the food I got. I ordered salmon poke Hawaii style for 8$ (tuna was 11). I added a medium rice bowl for like 3$. Both were great. I just wish I had a larger portion. I was a little hungry after. Good flavor though. Very fresh tasting. Good bites of fish.

Very yummy small portion of fresh salmon in the Shoyu salmon poke and spicy salmon poke. The shoyu version still came with a deliciously mild chili soy sauce. I ordered with a side of rice for about $10. If you want the combo which comes with fish, rice seaweed, and a water bottle, it is only $11.50 or so. Good deal for a deliciously simple snack! There are two small benches to sit at and eat inside the store entrance, but no tables. I was the only one there around 2:30 pm on Wednesday.

Stay away from the fried seafood. Messed up twice now. Fried fish was very dry, way over cooked. Thin tiny sliver of fish and mostly batter. The care and quality has dropped.

They're rationing like it's WW1 out here. They served a tiny poke portion that was, at best, an appetizer. I get it was only 8 bucks, but you gotta give more than very thinly sliced cubes in a small sushi container. They also charge you 25 cents for a plastic bag without asking you. You gotta proactively tell them no bag. That's pretty shady. To their credit, the fish tasted fine. But if you've eaten poke from Hawaii (especially if you one local boy from the islands), you'll know you're getting short-changed here for the portions you get. Wouldn't go back.
