I ate very delicious and the large bowl has enough food, I was full ? It is an ideal place to eat healthy and fast, an ideal environment for students. There are complete dishes or you can design your own bowl with the ingredients you like the most.

Visited today at around 1 pm. Everything was good but the lady who made my bowl was texting. She used the same gloves on her hands that touched her phone to pick up the ingredients. Not sure how to feel about

Considering the taste, service, and quantity, it is too expensive. I have no intention of going back.

NOT allergen safe. Beware that if you have an issue with a delivery order, it’s impossible to get in touch with them for help. I specifically asked for no mayo, stating clearly that I have severe allergies to Eggs, Dairy, & Nuts. I did not order anything in my poke bowl that would, to my knowledge, contain mayonnaise. Yet 1/3 of my rice was soaked in some sort of mayonnaise sauce, and I ate a couple bites of it before realizing! Now, I’m having an allergic reaction to my food, and Poke Bar’s phone number is out of service so I can’t get help! I called a different location in my area, number disconnected. Finally a location in my state picked up and tried to help. Issue not resolved.

Had really high hopes. Reviews seemed great.Did the small build your own bowl - 16.48 after tax which is pretty good for Bay Area price and the amount they give. The salmon and ahi tuna did not taste fresh and were not seasoned great. Had a very fishy taste. The crab salad tasted old. Too much seaweed and not enough flavor. Did not feel safe eating the rest and had to throw it out.

Poke Bar is as its name suggests: you can build your own bowls with various poke options. You get a LOT of food for the money and even though this is far from the best poke you can get in the area, it's still an excellent option for a quick and very filling meal, built exactly the way you want it. The only downside is that they/the complex doesn't have a restroom.

Love stopping here for a quick bite of poke. Fresh food and yummy sauces. Lots of choice when making your own bowl. Typically friendly and quick staff. Always looks clean and tidy. Definitely recommend for a quick poke bowl.

Located in the telegraph alley right across the street from campus, poke bar is accessible and affordable. They have the best deals on snackpass as you only need 10 points for a free bowl, which means if you go with a friend, you can redeem it every 5 visits; in my humble opinion, that's a steal! Poke bar also has good sauce combinations and fresh toppings that always hit the spot. I have noticed the quality decrease slightly over the past year and there's always a funky smell in the store itself but overall a Berkeley student staple if you love poke.

Staff is rude. Wait is long. Do not recommend. This placed used to be great but I no longer think owner or management cares.
Nice vibe and super fresh poke! Everything was delicious and the salmon was by far the freshest I’ve tasted at a poke shop!

Pretty consistent poke! I got a small bowl this time. They usually pack it with food, which I appreciate. They have a variety of add ons and the salmon was a good texture.

Poke is so great and simple, all you have to do have good ingredients in good ratio. That's why I'm so shocked that my bowl could have been prepared so poorly.I got a medium bowl in which there was very little tofu and sauce, there were hard cilantro stems, and the white rice I got was riddled with brown hulls.Maybe they were just trying to help me get my fiber for the day? Poke around somewhere else.
