    Poke bowl
    William O.

    I have been into Aloh-o a few times now. I am a big fan of poke bowls and have been to several up and down the 101. What I love about this place is its convenience on my commute. I wouldn't necessarily say their poke bowls are amazing, but they are pretty solid. They also have other menu items that sound pretty decent. The cafe is small, but it's a cute space. The folks who work here are nice and they run a good, affordable business.

    First time here. We discovered poke bowls in SoCal, specifically a franchise called Poke Chop and it has spoiled us. Their fish is fresh - Aloh-o's fish does not appear to be. Not only does the ahi tuna's and salmon's texture taste like it had been previously frozen, they both emit a very fishy smell. All the sides were good as was the brown rice - but you get a poke bowl for the fish. In addition, the tables were dirty, probably because they are understaffed. Shame, we would frequent this place if the fish were fresh.

    The best poke I've had in the Bay Area, it's AMAZING and they clearly label what's gluten free (and have gluten free soy sauce!) base price for whatever toppings you want and it's so delicious!

    My boyfriend and I stopped off here to take a break and randomly saw this Boba shop that was open on Christmas! We figure that would be a nice dessert for after dinner so we got a couple of drinks my passion, fruit, green tea Boba was pretty sweet, but I always add water to mine anyways. My boyfriend got a jasmine green tea, and liked it as well. Everything was really clean except a lot of the orders were takeout, so I think some of the servers got the drinks mixed up. Two people that came in after my boyfriend and me were served before us, but I also noticed they ordered black tea drinks and we ordered green tea drinks, so maybe the green tea had to steep longer or something. Nevertheless, everything was very clean and organized within the inside of the restaurant.

    The staff were very friendly and professional. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted warmly and served quickly . The food here is delicious! Each dish is carefully prepared, rich in texture, unique in taste, and very fresh in ingredients. Reasonable price, high cost performance. Compared to other similar restaurants, the prices here are very reasonable and excellent value for money. Overall, the dining experience was very pleasant.

    Worst sushi I've ever had. Dragon roll, poorly made, unfresh, cheaply priced. Understaffed. Best thing about the meal was the canned Sprite.

    I ordered the sushi party platter for my birthday. It was fresh, delicious and plenty to eat. (We added the tofu block for the vegans.) I will get this again next time we are feeding a crowd. I have also tried and loved the poke bowls and the bubble tea. The tea can be ordered with less sugar and the phone app is easy to use. Good quality, friendly staff and reasonable prices.

    This is one of the best places to get boba in Marin. Luckily the line is short now! First of all, the food is absolutely outstanding, especially the boba. They have so many different flavors of boba that it's just too good! I always get the Milk Tea with Regular Boba 2x! Also I get the cucumber and avocado rolls, which are just amazing! This is a perfect place to have boba in Marin, definitely coming back here again!

Instead, you simply place your order either online, or through the self-service kiosk located out front. There is a window next to the kiosk where they'll place your drink when ready. Ordered a Mango Supreme with Boba and really enjoyed the fresh mango taste, along with the nice and chewy boba. There's not a lot of boba options in San Rafael. But I'm glad Oddcha is one of them. Unbeknownst to me at the time, parking is available in a lot under the freeway on 4th street, behind Oddcha. I instead found street parking 3 blocks away and simply walked over.

We ordered the Coconut Bomb and the Thai Twister, and both drinks were excellent. They weren't overly sweet and had a really refreshing flavor. The boba also tasted fresh, which made the drinks even better. Ordering was easy using their kiosk system. One thing to note is that parking is located behind the shop. It was a bit confusing at first since the store is on a very busy road, but once you find the back parking area, it's much more convenient. Overall, a great stop for refreshing drinks--I'd definitely come back!

The lady working there (an older woman) was just the sweetest. She greeted us with a big smile, welcomed us in, and even thanked us for stopping by. It really made the visit feel extra personal. We tried a few drinks: the Mango Fresh Milk with boba was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet which is perfect for a hot day. The Iced Matcha with boba was smooth and flavorful; I loved that it actually tasted like real matcha. I did ask for less ice, which oddly came with an extra 85 cent charge, but honestly, it was still worth it. My daughter got the Kuma Blue Cloud Raspberry, which was creamy, fun looking, and caffeine free! It's definitely a nice spot to grab a good drink and relax for a bit. The only downside is that they don't have a public restroom, which was a little inconvenient. Still, we'll definitely be back for more drinks and that friendly service!

Their ordering system is entirely via two kiosks, which can be annoying if the customers ahead are slow, ordering a bunch of drinks, or both. They really should have a policy for cashiers handling smaller orders (2-3 drinks or less) and forcing kiosks only for larger groups. The estimated wait times vary pretty wildly, so take their posted estimates with a grain of salt. It stated 15-20 minutes when I was there, but it took about 25 (and we were just the 2nd group in line, though there were clearly tons of queued orders already with people standing around or sitting waiting). When we finally got our drinks, the Classic Ding Dong Oolong Milk Tea and the Milk Tea with Taro Balls and Taro Paste, I was expecting really prominent tea flavor like you get from the best milk teas in Taiwan and HK, especially given their hand-brewing process for each cup (which partly explains why wait times balloon). Sadly, I got very little tea flavor from either drink. That said, the fresh taro paste and taro balls were very tasty, with the balls having fantastic QQ chewiness. Prices are a bit much though, at almost $10 for that drink alone. I honestly think they could cut costs on gimmicks like the rope carriers (cute for influencers, but pretty useless and likely jacks up the price for regular customers). One silver lining from the long wait is that we spilled over into a free tea tasting slot. Miranda was fantastic as our guide as she was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She walked us through how their Lishan Oolong Tea (sold separately, not used for in-store drinks) is harvested and sun-baked into 5 different varietals, each with unique colors, aromas, and tastes (and following the sun both literally and figuratively in terms of names and descriptors). Overall, it's a fun experience if you enjoy that sort of thing (and your wait happens aligns with a tasting slot or you can always a reserve ahead of time as well), so 5 stars for Miranda and the tasting, but the actual milk teas were lacking and a disappointment given the hype, cost and wait.
