Very Japanese way of ordering - when you walk in, you can try the self-service touch screen ordering system (although it was having software issues when I tried it), or fill out the paper slip with your desired options with a provided pen. Then you hand your order slip to the cashier and pay. A lot like a ramen joint in Shibuya... The poke is wonderful (photo below) - generous portions means a very filling lunch. Service is polite and friendly (for me, at least, I see the other reviews...perhaps it's a "reserved Asian" thing). For me it's a go to if I'm in the mood for a big lunch.

The only complaint anyone ever has: Pokemoto boasts authentic Hawaiian-quality poke with (perhaps) authentic Hawaiian prices. Can't wait to return. I highly recommend any poke bowl with the Aloha Trio sauce. Love the friendly super-competent staff too.

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!

2.5 STARS kuma cafe…read moreis a small cafe serving quick bites and boba, conveniently located in downtown san rafael. even though it's in downtown san rafael, i've never had trouble finding street parking nearby. since you order on a tablet, there's not usually anyone behind the counter until the food comes out. it seems like there's only one person working, so it can sometimes take a bit for things to come out. i usually order online for a quicker pickup, although it's slightly more expensive. there are a few tables inside, but it's really a to-go place. - egg sandwich w/ salad (2.5/5): i love japanese egg sandwiches, so i really wanted to try this! the sandwich had a good kewpie mayo flavor, and it was slightly sweet. i enjoyed the flavor, but the sandwich was too wet and messy to eat. some of the mayo was dripping out of the sides. there were also small bits of tobiko and cabbage. it wasn't a big sandwich for the price, but it did come with a salad that was topped with a good sweet and creamy dressing - spicy tuna sandwich w/ chips (1/5): literally like canned tuna with some spicy seasoning, although it wasn't super spicy. it also had some thick slices of cucumber and red onion. the chips were kind of stale, and they tasted like they were supposed to be ruffles or lays salted chips. this was pretty disappointing, and i'm not sure why it cost that much - poke (2.5/5): pretty standard, and an okay portion for price. they offered all of the basic ingredients and different kinds of fish. my bowl didn't have a lot of fish in it, but they did give me a lot of tamago (sweet egg), which made up for the lack of protein. i ordered the soy house sauce, but it reminded me more of a bright ponzu. honestly, the ingredients didn't really taste the freshest, but i thought it was fine and the best food i tried here - jasmine rose milk tea (1.5/5): strong rose flavor! it was still pretty sweet at 50% sugar, and it got overwhelmingly sweet by the end. i usually finish drinks, even if i don't like them, but it was hard to finish - sando brown sugar milk tea (4/5): my favorite milky drink i tried! it had a pretty good black tea and chocolate malt flavor. i really liked the crunchy texture of the malt topping, although i think it could've used a little less malt and more drink. i thought this was very unique! - lychee dragon fruit (4/5): like a light lemonade! i didn't really taste the lychee. the dragon fruit flavor was subtle, but it was definitely there, especially at the end with all the dragon fruit bits. it came with lychee jelly, which made the drink pretty sweet - fizzy yuzu (4/5): literally a yuzu soda, which was tart and citrusy. it was a little too sour for me at first, but the yuzu flavor was great. i actually really liked the kiwi popping boba, which added some sweetness to the drink and curbed the tartness. the kiwi popping boba did taste like kiwi, and it was so unique! - momo peach iced matcha [seasonal] (1/5): the worst drink i tried... there was so much peach jam that it tasted super sweet, and the jam didn't even have a strong peach flavor. the amount of jam also made the drink extremely goopy, even after mixing, and i couldn't taste the matcha at all. i didn't finish this drink the boba here was inconsistent - sometimes it was soft and chewy, and other times, it was on the hard end. for the drinks that came with a topping, they didn't let me sub out the topping with something else. i would've had to pay for an additional topping in order to change it. overall, i'm not really a big fan of kuma cafe, but there aren't that many options in san rafael. compared to oddcha, i think kuma cafe offers more unique asian flavors, like dragon fruit or yuzu. when i'm working near downtown, i'll still stop by to get my boba fix but will head somewhere else for lunch.

Best uni I've ever had by far. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the pleasant weather. Wish we lived closer and we will certainly return whenever we are back in the area. Service was exceptional.

We've actually been here before, which is why we made a reservation this time, we already knew it would be worth it. We ordered several appetizers to share, including the shrimp and scallop dumplings, asparagus gyoza, and a few other small plates. Everything was delicious. For entrees, I ordered the seafood nigiri, while others at the table had the ramen, beef teriyaki, and salmon teriyaki. Every dish came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It's one of those places where everyone at the table is happy with what they ordered, and the quality has been consistent every time we've visited. Definitely a great stop after a day in wine country.

I have spent at least a thousand dollars on their fish but recently at their Kensington Farmer's…read moreMarket when I purchased their salmon poke which had a clear price sign of $15.95, I watched their staff overcharge me and I explicitly stated the correct price but was ignored. I didn't want to argue over a small amount of money but the dishonesty is sickening especially since many of their customers are vulnerable seniors. The same day, I emailed their business directly asking them to make sure they talk to their staff about charging people the correct amount. They never responded. The ethical behavior of this business is dubious with management completely ignoring customer concerns. It appears that they only care about making a quick buck. What a shame. If you shop at their farmer's markets, make sure you check the correct pricing before paying.
