    Acai bowl
    Jennifer S.

    Drive up express is the best! Quick service for my açaí bowl! It comes with acai sorbet, bananas, granola, blueberries, strawberries, coconut flakes, and honey drizzle. I don't care for processed sugar goods anymore so this is a great alternative as I can freeze it and have one bowl for 3 desserts.

    I will say that The coffee was just as good as Starbucks and two dollars cheaper. However, as I started looking around after I ordered, I noticed this little cart was really pretty dirty and could use a real good scrub down. So the ambience wasn't really up to my standards. The lady at the register was nice enough but the other servers pretty much just ignored you altogether. So that's why I'm giving three stars today.

    The service was great, they were very fast and friendly. Unfortunately, neither the food or the coffee tasted that great.

    This poke shop is SO good! The fish is super fresh and there's alot of different poke options…read moreincluding tuna, salmon, crawfish, and tako (octopus). I got the poke plate for $18, two scoops of rice and two scoops of poke. I wanted a light snack and this was great to share with my partner. Definitely interested in trying the kimchi ahi next time! Spicy salmon poke - 5/5, MY FAVE! This poke is creamy from the mayo, tobiko, hot sauce. Not too spicy, salty, and flavorful! Furikake salmon poke - 4/5, the flavor profile is on the sweeter side like teriyaki sauce. Good overall, but too sweet for my personal taste!

    Our first meal in San Diego was at It's Raw Poke Shop. Companion and I love poke, and having lived…read morein Hawaiʻi, I know good poke. I will say it's good for the mainland, but definitely not like the island. This is a well-known spot among locals. A great introduction to mainland folks on what poke actually is. The shop's interior is small. All of the poke is on display, so ordering goes fast. You state what you want, pay, and receive your order, making a quick turnaround. The staff were all patient and kind. But I will say we waited an hour on a Sunday. There are long lines, so come early, on off days, and be patient. Also, they're a takeout spot, so we chose to eat at the beach. Okay, so the food breakdown. I had the Poke Plate, and my companion got the Kalua Pig Plate Lunch. For my poke, I chose Shoyu Ahi and Spicy Salmon. Anytime I get poke, I feel like you gotta have a baseline--shoyu ahi being mine. It was good, but the cuts and texture of the ahi weren't consistent. It was still tasty, and I appreciate how you could add as much or as little shoyu as you want, but I wish there were a bit more flavor. The spicy salmon was good! Creamy, spicy, and tasty. The fish was fresh, but I do feel like they could've given a bit more. I had a bite of my companion's plate, and the Kalua Pig was so salty that it was a bit overpowering. The portion was very generous, but some pieces were dry. The mac salad was good, a different pasta shape I'm used to, and the rice was hard. So overall, it was good but not worth the wait. If you are a poke lover, either visiting or living in San Diego, It's Raw Poke Shop is good mainland poke! Although the map says Newport Ave., their location is off Bacon Street. Parking is limited and hard to find in Ocean Beach, so plan accordingly.
