They have a menu full of sushi, poke, and other fish dishes. I got the three taco combo and it was delicious. It was definitely a fusion food, poke in a taco.

One of the closer poke spots in the east side. Their fish quality was pretty fresh. My favorites were the f&t mix and their ahi. Workers were very nice and patient. My only complaints were the pricing and the portion size.

The service lady was really nice and helpful when ordering there for the first time. Portion sizes were good, the food was great.

When i went and ordered a regular bowl with brown rice, the rice was not cooked properly, It was cold and hard. Im worried about the rice being undercooked, I hope I don’t get food poisoning or a stomachache from this. I am disappointed I paid nearly $20 for this. The only reason why I gave a two stars is because I ate here a few times in the past and it was fine, but this restaurant needs to stay consistent when it comes to the quality of their foods, they need to reassess the quality of their foods first before serving it to customers as this is a matter of food safety violations.

If it ain’t Fish and Things then why are we going? The menu items have a huge variety, and something for everyone, even the ones that don’t eat enjoy raw fish. They offer an extra scoop of protein than you normally see with the large size being 5 scoops of protein instead of the usual 4. They offer more protein variety, than I’ve seen at any neighboring poke spot with some amazing marinated choices. The cooked salmon tacos are my go to, but the sushi tacos are a great choice as well. The poke bowls are sinful with numerous topping options, a crazy amount of sauces to chose from and fresh produce that tastes like it’s just been chopped. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and well lit and when you walk in you notice the posh feel. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the fish is immaculately displayed. They have a nice point system that takes money off your purchase after so many points which is nice especially if you go the way I do. They have some bottled drinks at the front but I’ve never purchased drinks there. The price is fair, the poke bowls are a couple dollars more expensive than the neighboring poke restaurants but you get an extra scoop of protein as I mentioned. I recommend this place to all the sushi lovers, the cooked fish lovers, the I just want tacos and I want sushi so I’m gonna eat sushi tacos people. The I really could use a cooked salmon burger folks, come on down you’ll love this place.

Although the poke tastes fresh the portions are small and cut in uneven sizes. But the food is good, just expensive for what you get. The main issue is that both times we came here the people at the counter acted like they've never talked to another person before. When the place opened we came to check it out, and the guy at the counter really took his time measuring out all the toppings in his spoon, barely said anything, and kept forgetting which toppings we asked for. Two bowls took about 10 minutes to make. I thought maybe it was a mix of the place being new and it could have been his first job, he seemed young. So we gave them another chance, today we did a pick up order and were the only ones in there. When we walked in, the cashier looked up from her tablet for a quick second but then turned her face away and didn't greet or help us for a solid 2-3 minutes when I finally said something. Don't know if I just visited at bad times, I would want to give them another chance but it feels super awkward. Poke House and Santo Market are further from Evergreen but they give you better quality, bigger servings for less money.

My favorite local Poke spot with the freshest Poke and Greta service. Love mixing my rice with the zucchini noodles!

There was this one girl that barley gave me any fish. I don't know who she was, but I had to repeat my order 4 times at least. She barely gave me a full scoop of fish. Terrible service. Next time don't hire people who are deaf and lazy, thank you.

The crispy salmon skin with rice here is bomb! I'm not from the area but always stop by when ever I'm in town. My picky tween daughter said that it's her favorite!

I came here with big expectations and was so disappointed. I really wanted to like it but I honestly didn't. Started off by asking for the classic bowl and the employee didn't know the bowl. I decided to just make my own bowl and for almost 19$ it wasn't worth it. The bowl had nothing but rice and the scoops were super small. The spicy tuna and salmon are no good. It tasted and smells fishy. I know it's a fairly new place and my comment may affect it but it honestly needs a lot of work. Hope I can try it again in the near future and see if it's gotten better.

One of my friends introduced me to their salmon skin bowl, and I haven't found any other place to compare. I sub the rice for greens. It is filling, and I even end up with leftovers. If you love salmon, this dish is packed with omega-3s.

Yesterday, I picked up three large takeout containers, but after my wife started feeling stomach pain, I sniffed the food and realized that the fish had gone bad and smelled rotten. Later, my stomach started hurting too; I have a less sensitive stomach than my wife, so I just ended up with diarrhea. My wife spent the entire evening in bed with food poisoning and vomiting. I'm not giving one star as I don't want to ruin your rating, but I hope my story will help you address the issue with food freshness.

Very impressed with this place. It's situated in a quiet strip mall in Eastside San Jose. Food quality was very good and very well priced.

This place is amazing! It's my new go to place. The proteins are always fresh + they stack your toppings! Very nice and patient workers as well! There's plenty of seating to sit and eat with your friends here!
