“What a delightful & delicious addition to the Grossmont's FoodCourt Center !!! This eatery spot only opens 2 days a week and the rest of the days you can catch them at a Farmers' market! so catch them whenever you can! Don't miss out on what they have to offer! The 2 entrees my husband and I ordered were flavorful and well seasoned. We both finished and left our boxes emptied and cleaned . The owner did an exceptional job by making sure if we had any food allergies when taking our orders. This is something that rarely happens where business owner take the cautious and careful step to ask and make sure customers are safe. So we really appreciated that very much! We can't wait to come back and catch you on the days the eatery spot opens! A MUST TRY!!!! :D“
“The BEST poke in SD hands down! Their fish is super fresh and WOW love all the different flavor profiles - this isn't your standard run of the mill poke shop. The staff and owner were welcoming, attentive and kind. Tried 2 tuna and 1 salmon plate and added shrimp tempura. Can't wait to return!“
“Actual local-Hawaiian food can be pretty hard to find in SoCal, so this place is nothing short of a godsend. Laulau and all the various kinds of real poke! So happy to have found this place. The pork tonkatsu was a little salty for my taste, but no matter, I will be back to eat more of the other great things offered here.“
“Perfect spot to take my son after his NFL flag football game at the sportsplex. First time eating here. Didn't know what to order but the woman who helped me was very sweet. She helped me pick out food and was patient with my son's request. Place was clean and started getting busy as we sat down. We waited for our take out. Food came out quickly. My son got a kids burger meal. It was a really large burger and he loved the fries so much he ate them first and wasn't able to finish everything. I got the Kanak attack loco moco she recommended. It has a little of everything. Amazingly tasty. The sausage and spam are what they are.... The burger patty was delicious and the eggs cook perfectly. The pork and the gravy were the real stars of this dish. The gravy can ruin a loco moco for me. This place is doing it right. The pork was so flavorful I went for it all after the first bite. There was so much I wasnt able to finish it all. I also got 2 orders of garlic spam masubi. I was full but still took a bite and loved it. Again, the staff great, food great, and wait time great. My girls came home and ate all the left overs and said we have to go back. Almost forgot the shaved ice my son got... see photo ... it started about the same size as his head!“
“First made the drive down to Blue Poke for a Yelp event, but came back a few times when I found myself in the area. There are a few other blue pokes that have since opened closer to central San Diego with one in North Park, but I think the quality varies from location to location- this location in National City being the best! First of all, the design of the store is so fun and I could tell it was clean and well maintained. I had a delicious poke bowl with my favorite spicy ahi (minced style). They have a good number of toppings to choose from along with great sauces. This is what I like to call "chipotle style" poke where you build your bowl, but everything was good! Easy parking to grab your bowl for take-out!“
“Amazing food and the service is great. Tried the spicy garlic edamame and the Islander Sampler to start. They were both perfect. The Sampler has empanadas that are so crispy on the outside and filled with chicken and rice ?. The teriyaki chicken wings had plenty of meat and really good sauce on them. There were also beef lumpia and shrimp patties, both cooked perfectly. For the main course, I got the Chamorro Combo. Uncle Franks pork ribs were so tender. The chicken kelaguen was ok. It was my first time trying it, and I think the rest of the dishes impressed me more. We got red rice and if you get that too ask for Finade sauce and pour that over the red rice. I went for the side salad instead of the mashed potatoes, and the dressing for the salad was great. Overall amazing food that I would highly recommend ? ?“
“Everyone in our house used to like poke. After we found Poke Chop, we LOVE poke! They have so many options of fish and sauces and toppings. I’ve never found as big of a selection. My daughter would eat here every day if I’d let her. There aren’t many places in Hillcrest where a family of 3 can get dinner for around $30, and be totally stuffed, and not feel blah afterwards. The fish is always really fresh. The only thing that could make it better is if they added mango, mmmmm. We try to eat there as much as possible because it will be a very sad day if they close. (It’s a reality in the Hillcrest restaurant business ☹️).“
“Darn it, they moved from just around the corner, to up by the college -- problem parking AND apparently they are only doing catering and not lunch plates. The food was awesome and authentic and made with much aloha. Oodles by the Nood Bar moved into the space vacated by Da Kine.“
“Cute restaurant with good vibes . They had a huge menu ! Delicious food, fair prices and generous portions . We had a larger party and everyone ordered different & all enjoyed . The service was attentive and kind, we will definitely be back !“
“After eating at their North Park location and having them cater an event, I wish I could give them more stars. In both instances, the food was amazing, the portions were generous, and when there was a small mix up about the catering order they had someone personally come back out and deliver a bonus item, plus a couple gift cards. The business is run by genuinely kind people and their catering service is truly outstanding. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer, or to anyone who is just hungry and wants to support a family business.“
“Wow! Love this place! Excellent food and service! Our server, Julia, did an excellent job of taking our order, and the kitchen staff got out the door very quickly! Everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful! We will surely be back bruddah! Yes, it was that good. :)“
“Best Filipino food! I was in Los Angeles and I came across with their restaurant Kusina San Diego I was really happy because I saw the Kare-kare which is my ultimate favorite and I've been craving with the dish. Yes!! it was really delicious. Highly recommended!“
“Order before you come!!! My one person/plate order took 30min. (Did come at 6pm on a Sunday) Tons of Uber eats/door dash and people picking up takeout. I almost drove away because it looked busy but I was starving and craving Hawaiian. Door dash guy at the front waiting said 10min wait... I ordered a 2 item combo Korean Chicken and Teri beef. Delicious. Food was bomb, flavor was abundant. The chicken was fresh and hot, the beef was lukewarm. But taste was great! There's 5 tables in here, not much and it's not the cleanest but they were so busy what could u expect... feels like a mom and pop owned franchise.“
“Such a friendly and kind owner—he made my day with his kindness!! He prepared 12 meals for my coworkers and myself so efficiently, making all of them so well while working by himself. The poke is delicious and he experiments with new tasty recipes and flavors all the time! Highly recommend for a filling and healthy lunch.“
“Consistently GOOD! Always made to order and the food is fresh as can be for fast food. Great customer service and friendly staff. Restaurant is clean and plenty of seating available. I recommend the chicken katsu plate with rice and mac salad or all mac salad. The servings are very generous and the price is fair.“
“Blue Poke is an incredible option for poke bowls! So many toppings to choose from and super quick and delicious! The staff is super helpful and will guide you through, thoroughly explaining it all. Super fresh fish, great topping options and delicious sauce! You can’t go wrong “
“The pokebowl was truly delectable, brimming with flavors that delighted my taste buds. However, the onions, while flavorful, were cut in larger pieces than I would have preferred; a finer chop would have enhanced the overall texture. On a positive note, the iced tea accompanying the meal was truly refreshing, adding a delightful touch to the dining experience.“
“I'm so addicted to the Torched Salmon Aburi bowl here. I add avocado and it's really worth it. They recently moved 2 stalls over in the Market on 8th food hall and share space with Cafe Indonesia now. Everything I've tried has been good and I keep wanting to try new things on the menu from them and from the Cafe Indonesia menu too, but it's very hard to not just keep ordering my usual.“
“This place and their staff is so welcoming and service was great! Food wise was so delicious, portions were good! Empanadas was crispy and delicious to include there banana lumpia's it not only had bananas but coconut and chocolate sauce in the side was mmm! Good! I recommend this place“
“We've been a Poki bowl binge this week. We were in the area today and decided to find a poki one n half near by.We got our usual regular bowls with 3 scoops of protein. I like this spot because they have lobster! The staff was quick with our order. This location is well kept and clean. The bowls were so good we always finish the entire bowl.Overall happy with this location as well. Not close to us but it will be the one we go to if we are in the area.“
“This is definitely one of my favorite Poke places in San Diego! I could literally eat Poke and/or Sushi every day, and this is one of my go-to spots. Their fish is cold and fresh and the bowls are plentiful. They don't charge extra for things that should be included (like some places). The staff is helpful and professional and the atmosphere is chill. This is a great place to start if you're new to Poke and don't want to feel confused when deciding what to add to your bowl. I highly recommend!“
“THE PORTIONS IS AMAZING!!Ive tried alot of Poke places in SD and so far this is my favorite. I like spicy food. And no place has delivered on the spice level. But the dragons breath spice level hit the mark perfectly. Fish was so fresh! Thank you!“
“I am always satisfied when I come to this place. Food is always fresh and always good. The employees are very kind and greet every time you come in. I can't get enough of their Homemade lemonades, aside from the food, that's my one of my favorites.“
“Sad location since mall is now so empty...Atmosphere so lonely. But the staff were so nice. Food was good but nothing to rave about.Vegetarian options: I did not want to eat rice and the staff were more than accommodating to me about providing me w vegetable sides instead.“
