This place refuses to let paying customers use the bathroom. Let that sink in. You take people’s money, serve food, and then say “no bathroom for you.”

So how the hell am I supposed to wash my hands? Am I expected to eat with dirty hands like it’s the Middle Ages? That’s not just disgusting, it’s straight up irresponsible.

If you’re running a restaurant and don’t allow customers to use the restroom, you shouldn’t be open. Hygiene clearly isn’t a priority here, and it shows. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome in a place that claims to serve food.

Save yourself the frustration (and the germs) and go literally anywhere else.

I go here in person to get takeout at lunch. I find the food is always fresh and tastes great. Best of all, what should be hot is hot and what should be cold is cold. Highly recommend, their bowls are delicious and they give good portions.

I usually ordered from here and would recommend that - despite the silly name, it had a great selection of poke + toppings and was a go to when I needed a healthy, high protein fix.

I would not recommend ordering from here. The ingredients were really poor quality - I had to pull out the fish since I was worried it would get me sick. The remaining ingredients were not very tasty.

This is by far my favorite poke spot in the city. The fish is always fresh and tasty. Their portions are very tenors as well. I typically order from here at least twice a week. Both owners and their entire staff have always been welcoming and friendly to me. I would highly recommend Pokebola to anyone who's looking to eat delicious poke in SF.

Overall, it was ok and will not be ordering again.
Ordered the tuna poke bowl. There's not enough sauce to make it tasty, it is more like different components placed in a bowl without the sauce to act like the glue to tie it all together.
Definitely had a tastier poke bowl nearby.

I ordered a poke bowl from this restaurant and found a hair on a piece of edamame. I contacted the restaurant via their website over 1 week ago and received no response.
I hope they contact me to help understand how this occurred…this can happen but not receiving a response after this experience is not up to par imo.

Edit: changed to 3 stars following restaurant’s quick response.

I just ordered the best poke bowl from this place. OMG. These guys know how to make poke. I ate my bowl in less than 10 mins. So darn good. My new regular poke joint.

Probably one of the worst poke bowls I’ve had. I usually order from fish in a box but decided to try this place. The fish was not fresh, they messed up my order and the portions were really small. Not ordering from here again. I will be sticking with fish in a box from now on.
