Sam Choy's Poke to the Max - Tacoma

Omg, how that place has so high score? Poke wasn't tasty at all, even fish seemed not fresh. In the same time, so expensive. It's not Poke, just fish, rice and salad. If I could give -5 stars, I would give it.

Soild little places, food was quite tasty.

I've gone here on my lunch from work about three times and all three times have been frustrating , not sure if they are low on supplies or being cheap or just tight with their budget , but portions are small with the prices they are asking , and multiple workers here ask do we need a bag to go and there should never be a time where a worker asks if we need a bag to go to put our food in , it's obvious that a bag is needed for those who aren't dining in ! Please don't ask that anymore for people who aren't dining !!!! They also don't be having the food that I want ,it's always me having to find something else !!! Their dessert case completely empty with just two pies I didn't care for cause they didn't have the coconut cake I asked for along with the rest of the cakes they didn't have ! Customers like options and customers appreciate it when a place is stocked up with things that are mentioned on the menu !! Look at this empty dessert case pic I took , UNACCEPTABLE!!! Also their grill was down today (NOT GOOD )! Please do better with your customers !

I ordered a tofu poke bowl and it was some of the best crispy tofu I’ve ever had. There aren’t a ton of vegetarian/vegan options (which is normal and to be expected with poke) but this one is worth coming out for. Fresh and quickly prepared. The atmosphere is pretty good too- clean with plenty of seating. Service was fast and friendly. Only downside is it’s just a tiny bit on the expensive side.

I used to come here all the time, but it seems like the quality and portions have gone way down hill in the last two years, while the price has gone up.You get charged an extra $2 for salmon now, even if do half salmon and half tuna. I prefer no upcharge, but why wouldn't half be $1? I also added tobiko to my order, and it was left off. This isn't the first time. It seems like something else was missing too. It was just a scoop of bare greens, a two scoops of soggy rice with a sparse sprinkle of furikake, and a scoop of tuna. Shouldn't there be some aioli or something to tie everything together?

Vegetarian options: Tacos, wraps and poke bowls have tofu options.

I was really disappointed by the poke here. It was really expensive (for the 'large' [sic], it was $28 after tax, pre-tip), and it only came with two very mushy scoops of rice and a small bit of greens. The fish itself was pretty good, but not worth the price. I'm used to a poke place in Seattle where you get the same amount of rice, fish, and greens, but you also get to add any of the 15 toppings or so, for about $16. The other items looked a little more reasonably priced but I don't think I'd return to try them.
