Poke Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“Food 😋Service and location absolutely wonderful!“

“Grateful that it is independently owned and operated
- typically chain restaurants have a cookie cutter feel to them but The Manager Noel prepared my first ever poki bowl and while I might be biased because I’ve never had it before - I can’t but say it was AMAZING. 10/10 will be back. Great and friendly service from everyone on staff made this place unique and feel welcoming. Chill not rushed atmosphere - good spot to find.“

“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 ☹️).“

“I’ve only been to this restaurant twice for dinner, but both times I’ve had a very good experience. The restaurant is kept clean, the staff are friendly and the food is very fresh but not too expensive. A medium sized bowl comes with three servings of protein for $17.50. Also they have an udon and rice ball combination for $12.95.
I like the regular salad bowl with tuna and minced lobster, original poki sauce, spicy mayo sauce, and several greens like onions, edamame, cilantro, avocado, seaweed salad, cucumber, etc and topped with some crunchy garlic. Delicious!“

“I really enjoy Poke places that provide a lot of options for different customers. I was really happy to see that they had mango, pineapple, and their spicy krab is fire! The poke was cut nicely, sometimes poke to too chunky, their poke was cut precisely and you get the right amount with every bite. Additionally, there were a lot of sauce choices. If I’m in the area, I’m definitely coming back!“

“fresh and delicious ......“

“Love the sushi here it’s the only place I get sushi from. Well worth the price, plate feels loaded. The flavor just melts away and brings me back to Hawaii (my happy place). The staff are always so polite and doesn’t take long to get your order. There is tables inside and outside, it’s really nice and the vibes are always great. Thank you for having the best sushi in town!!!“

“Good protein options. I went at a not too busy time of day so I also got to quietly sit and enjoy the meal. I only had the PYOP so I can only say that I enjoyed that, but I am sure everything else on the menu is good as well“

“Love coming to this local shop in Ocean Beach. My favorite is their Furikake Salmon along with some rice. Hits the spot every time!

There's no tables inside but my group always goes to Ocean Beach to take in the views and eat. A must try for the area.“

“The food is soooo good, big portions and excellent service.“

“We were looking for dinner and PB Poke hit the spot. We often eat poke and this is some
Of the most flavorful we’ve had. The ingredients were fresh and filling. The owner was super helpful in helping us understand their dishes and what we’d enjoy most. Id highly recommend!“

“JTB. EXELENTE. DEL MAR A SUMESA“

“I'd work here if they paid me in poke bowls. So good. Other places the fish is questionable but this place always has a great taste and seems fresh! Oh and since you got rid of your yummy fountain and now just have standard Pepsi $2+ is a little much for a little cup of a Pepsi product .... I miss the old options that were worth the money �“

“Better than expected for sure. I was pleasantly surprised, thinking this would be something between a hole in the wall diner and a Rubios. Turned out way better. Food was great, place was hoppin, full bar, plenty of service staff, etc. Only place I can even think to say they could have been a step better would be seating; it was clearly built for cleanliness over comfort where a combo would have been nice. 👍🏼 Great job to the owners.“

“Not sure how busy this place is, but I'm surprised they weren't busier. After a good workout, completed my day. Almost a hole in the wall, in a big shopping center. I wish them the very best. And hopefully more tables. To enjoy the meal! Great portions!!!! Num num num num!“

“This Chiven Teriyaki bowl was delicious! Great portion, fresh vegetables, very good flavor — and what I loved the most… the chicken was freshly cooked for me right when I ordered. The price was also great, only $11 for a healthy and tasty meal. The staff was very kind and patient ☺️ Thank you so much. I’ll definitely be back to try other flavors.“

“True Hawaiian Poké. No fluffy toppings, the actual stuff you will find on the Islands. Octopus Poké on Tuesdays. Menu changes from day to day depending on what the boats bring in...and, yes, the guys are actually from Hawai'i.“

“Carne asada tacos were fire and the margaritas were really good.“

“Yummy poke at The Poke Co. in Mira Mesa! I enjoyed the medium poke bowl with salmon, spicy tuna, and scallops. Lots of good toppings and sauces. Friendly staff and quick service. There are indoor seats as well as a lot of outdoor in the food court. Recommend!“

“Thank you for the customer appreciation day. We really enjoy your poke bowls.“

“Excellent food and friendly, helpful service. The ramen is fantastic and the crispy rice appetizer is delicious. Highly recommend going here for the food.

Message to the Tajima team, however -- the vibe killing FanDuel TV nonsense playing on all the TVs was frustrating. It made the restaurant feel like a betting parlor. Please reconsider what you show on those TVs. Thanks!“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“my order was ready on time, ramen is amazing and those pork umamis are just delightful ❤🤤 it almost melt in your mouth“

“II have to say it was so bussy and the cashier did a fantastic job in making sure we got our order asap ..! congratulations the service was spectacular the place was spotless the atmosphere was so inviting and the food was out of this world good I RAQUEL HIGHLY RECOMEND IT👏 YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 👌 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Delicious options for vegans, nice customer service, outdoor dining 👍🏻“

“Great service! Jas and Deanna were so nice and friendly. Gotta try the Brussel sprouts.“

“Food is great, they have great quality poke.

Couple of notes: the staff today was rude, just not friendly overall 😞 very disappointing

There's still no indoor seating and the place is still set up for Covid. So plan to eat outside if you come here.“

“I got a lobster with huge worm inside. I don't want to post the photos because that's just ocean life. However i do believe a better inspection could've been done before allowing the sale. They made it right and simply offered a replacement, they still triumph the other local shops.“

“I love this truck it’s so good and fresh“

“Let me tell you why we loved this pokes:

1. They have more than 10 options of proteins and you can choose how many scoops you want. My favorite one is tuna.
2. They have 7 different sauces. I chose Fire Loki and it was on point.
3. They mix the protein with the sauce at the moment they are making the poke.
4. They have 17 toppings. I had all of them in my poke!
5. The food is really fresh.
6. And the guy was really patient with us considering I’m a very indecisive girl…

Thank you!“

“Not quite like they make it in Japan, but not bad! It’s definitely over priced, but most things are these days. The noodles were a good size & texture and the right portion for me, but some ramen lovers might be left wanting more noods. The spicy miso broth was good and not too greasy and the meat had a delicious charred taste. The soft boiled marinated eggs were also surprisingly good. We also got the garlic edamame and some sushi.“

“Overall their poke is really good and their boba drink is good :) I just wish they kept their miso soup as an option since I felt that it was a huge inconvenience to remove it at the time I needed their soup the most and there wasn’t any explicit announcement about it too. It didn’t really help that it was on the menu and that they said they removed it as I wanted to order it.“

“New to the area and wanted to grab a quick bite. Considering the prices of the meals, this place really surprised me! Staff was friendly and food came in quicker than I thought (there were only two workers). If you’re craving sushi but don’t want to go all out on the bill, this is a good spot.“

“Love the Huli Huli and the spicy Poke Bowl oh so ono. The Haupia is a out of this world too. Just perfect and delish.“

“My friend and I went in today to try their poki and let me just say, someone who helped us out her name was Hannah I believe, kindest, most amazing soul ever. Was very sweet, amazing customer service, honestly best employee that has made my food. The poki was amazing! We loved it here.“

“Amazing food! Delicious every single time!“

“summary: good food, great service, reasonable prices, good portions, support local businesses!

decided to come here on a whim with some friends as a post finals mini adventure and boy did we make the right choice
there was not a customer in sight but we made our way to the ordering counter and were met with the most personable server we’ve ever had at a poke place, or any restaurant for that matter! he was so nice, offering samples (which i’ve never experienced at a poke place) and suggestions, and would throw in some fun comments to our choices (often apologizing for talking too much but no worries at all😆)

onto the food, they have a few unique poke marinades here! the standouts for us were the sichuan peppercorn tuna- it was almost candied with an interesting texture, kinda like a gummy or beef tendon in the best possible way- as well as the spicy kimchi salmon and scallops! the coconut curry poke has potential, but it’s not quite there yet (maybe try searing the fish and adding ginger or something acidic/spicy?) he also really loaded up our bowls, even giving my friend an extra scoop of salmon because he thought “it didn’t look large enough” even tho he definitely gave the right amount of protein. all the toppings were included in the base price (good value for any amount of scoops) including avocado and imitation crab which usually costs extra at other places.

we had such a nice experience thanks to the server and the food was delicious- this is our new go to! thanks so much and wish all the best to this place“
