The Poke Co. - Mission Valley

I don’t even know where to start. Walking into Poke Co in Mission Valley felt like walking into a dumpster behind a fish market on a hot day. The air smelled like spoiled seafood and dirty mop water. It was so bad I literally had to cover my nose while ordering.

The staff? Miserable. Zero professionalism, zero friendliness. One of them looked like they just rolled out of bed and couldn’t be bothered to say a single word. Just pointed and stared like I was interrupting their break.

I made the mistake of ordering anyway. The fish looked slimy, the toppings were warm, and the whole bowl tasted off. Less than 4 hours later, I was curled up in pain with the worst stomach cramps and nausea I’ve ever experienced. I missed work the next day and had to live off Pedialyte and saltines for 48 hours.

This place is a biohazard. I wouldn’t let my dog eat here. Save yourself the trauma and avoid it at all costs.

Talk about rude af. I said hello. They rudely respond with “what do you want”
I order my food and still say thank you have a good day and she didn’t respond.

First time here and big poke fan. Service was good. Prices were fair but when I walked in, the establishment didn’t seem up to par and made me question the integrity of the food, especially considering its raw fish. Front door was open, little dirty inside. Sure enough after consuming, having some of the side effects one would expect….

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!

Avoid this place at all cost. Ordered twice for delivery and I got the wrong order delivered. I even had a small concrete stone like substance in my food that almost broke my tooth. This is unsafe and absolutely terrible.

Customer service was awful. Walked in at about 5:40 PM, said hello and didn't really get a hello back. One of the employees in particular looked really unpleasant. I understand people have a bad day, but it's not right to take it out on customers. I will be calling the manager to speak about it too. Makes me not want to come back

This is one of the best of the many poke spot in san diego. The bowls are delicious; their house sauce is great and they use quality ingredients. Their service has always been outstanding!

Walked in around 12:30pm on Saturday, September 7th to find one very surly employee who glared at us for entering the premises. Saw a very grimy kitchen, no AC and overloaded pans of fish on the cold top, so no way any of that is holding a safe temperature. Employee begrudgingly paused stocking items, then touched face, hair and clothing and without washing hands, squared up to the prep station presumably to take our order but hard to tell when she was just staring daggers at us. Due to very high food safety risk and extremely rude staff, we walked out and will never return. Thought management should know they lose business for these reasons.
