Poke House

I had, on average, a bowl of BYO poke here (take out) each week for around 5 consecutive months, (May to Oct 2025) and their poke has never failed to satisfy my cravings. Portion sizes were always generous, the quality of ingredients and fish were fresh, and the service was always friendly and cheerful. Easily my favourite poke place in the general area, and I'll miss it now that I've moved away.

Our go-to Poke chain in the Bay Area. Proportions are great for the price and they have a ton of fish and toppings options so lots of way to customize. We’ve never had an incorrect order from the Santa Clara location ever, and the food is always super fresh!

Tried their food for the first time and I reenjoyed it. The food seemed quite fresh and tasty. Love the large selection of toppings they have as well. I absolutely loved their wasabi which was the spiciest one I have tried so far. I will be going there again.

The poke at this place tasted pretty good, and the price was alright. Came here at night and sat on the outdoor tables and it was very nice vibes.

We ordered takeout for large make your own with 4 scoops. Generally good poke with large amount of food, despite the tuna and salmon is a bit fishy.

small-sized option offers a reasonable price, and you can choose two types of proteins. There are also plenty of variety options available. A full bowl is generally quite filling, and the staff will help mix everything evenly before serving which is quite good, ensuring a consistent taste throughout. Able to dine in or to go

A typical place for poke. What’s good in this place: 1. reasonable price. 2. come with the fish egg(roe) if you like it. What I feel disappointed: 1. need to pay additional $ to get seaweed. 2. They don’t have ice water. Of course, you can buy the bottle water. But other places offer ice water.

Poke is good when ordered for lunch or early dinner, tried to order at the late evening and quality was not the best. the only thing is that when ordering online they constantly forgot to put 1 or 2 items, even if you put a comment in the comment section ))) and this location very often missing some ingredients (masago wasn’t available for weeks - I hope it’s temporary and they will fix it). Other than that custom poke is yum

I have a usual poke place that I love, but the Crispy Shoyu Chicken bowl peaked my curiosity. Not disappointed, and for me, it was a lot of food. The crispy chicken is a good mix with sushi rice. In the future, I might personalize the order with fewer ingredients; I can be basic when it comes to meat and rice bowls.

Tasty food, decent mix is bases (white rice, brown rice, salad), proteins, toppings and sauces. Friendly staff but it's obvious they are overworked. When we went, the place was slammed with orders. Online orders were getting fulfilled along with in person orders, so ordering in person took longer. A bit on the pricier side for poke, but worth an occasional treat.

My family spent $55 here on three bowls. They were training employees. I went first and got a small bowl. My other family members went after me. No one offered me krab salad. My other family members were offered it. I went back before I took my first bite to ask for krab. The manager said no since the bowl was already “out.” I understand the hygiene issue. So I asked for a scoop in a new bowl. I was told they’d have to charge me. Even though it was their mistake. I said they were training and can’t they make an exception. “No. Sorry.” I will not come here again because of the poor service. Too bad because the food looks good. And the tables outside are all unstable, so FYI for anyone who wants to enjoy their meal outside.

Do not eat here unless you want food poisoning. My boyfriend door dashed a large, build your own bowl. The main proteins were salmon, tuna and crab salad. He ate about half of it and stated it tasted funny and that the fish may not be fresh. 20 minutes later, he complained of stomach pain and violently threw up. He is still throwing up as I type this and this happened around 1PM, it is currently almost 6PM. Do not eat at this place. It is disgraceful, unsanitary and disgusting. Now he's sick with food poisoning or worse. I'm calling the health department immediately cause this is crazy. The food hasn't even digested yet and he threw EVERYTHING up. ZERO stars if I could.

Terrible experience overall. 1. Small Portions & Not Fresh: The portion size was tiny, and the ingredients tasted not fresh. 2. Rude Asian Male Employee: The service was appalling. The Asian male staff member was extremely rude and impatient, and appeared to intentionally give small portions while talking. 3. Major Hygiene Issue: He handled payment (cash/card) and then immediately continued preparing food without changing his gloves. Unacceptable. Management must investigate this specific employee and review the security footage immediately.

The ahi tuna and salmon are so bad. The house shoyu has a bitter taste. Definitely not worth the price.
