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.“

“Food was delicious and tasted fresh. Wish it came in a larger portion. I got two scoops (1 salmon and 1 tofu). Service was friendly and place was clean. I would come here again. Bathrooms could have been cleaner.

Plenty of seating available.“

“fresh and delicious ......“

“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 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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Never ate Poke before coming to this place. Ended up having it 5 days in a row while I stayed in PB for a week because it was so good.

Food is so fresh and healthy. Great service, Tito and the rest of the team are awesome. Very clean.

Highly recommend the spicy garlic or 51/50 signature bowls. Mango lemonade is also fire.“

“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 �“

“Delicious and affordable happy hour specials! Oysters for $1.50 a piece and a wide range of small plates averaging around $7, including calamari, fried oysters, nachos, soup plus more. Wine, beer and sake available as specials.

Fast casual type atmosphere.“

“So delicious! The California roll was the best one I’ve ever had- it was made fresh and very tasty. The spam musubi was delicious as well- hot and the rice cooked perfectly. The gyoza was good as well. The prices are fair, and the service was great.“

“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.“

“I've been to this location and ordered online a few times. It's always been friendly, fast and fresh. I'm surprised at the bad reviews, but maybe I've just been lucky. I find The Poke Co. is one of the better, more solid options that doesn't try to nickel and dime you for ingredients and gives good portions.“

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

“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“

“Wonderful food! Staff was super sweet and accommodating. My friend and I got the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer. I had the chicken ramen and she had the tajima black ramen (garlic). Everything was deilicous!

Parking is a bit rough with the small lot but its definitely worth it if you can go! :)“

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

“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 👌 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Delicious every single time!“

“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.“

“I got the teriyaki chicken bowl and it was so delicious! Nice service!“

“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“
