I'm a SF Giants season ticket holder and attend a ton of games each year since they open Oracle/AT&T/Pac Bell Park. We patronize Da Poke Man stand located in the corner just under the evaluator to the Club level. Usually, it's a fun positive experience but in the last week of the 2023 season vs Dodgers I encountered the "mean cafeteria lunch lady" from elementary school. Being a season ticket member we get 20% of all souvenirs and concessions at the ballpark with an easy scan of a bar code. The order taker / cashier was that rude nightmarish lunch lady minus just the hairnet. She was mean rude and obviously hates being there. She was all hot and bothered when I was to scan my bar code for the discount. It's too bad because the food is still good. Hopefully, next season they can hire more hospitable staff.

Amazing Authentic Ahi Tuna Poke
Mike T.

Super delicious and authentic Poke!! The rice was cooked perfectly, a generous scoop of Ahi tuna ( usually it's pricier everywhere else for the quantity you get- I get sushi all the time so I'm pretty familiar with fish market prices/quantity) and garnished just right! $16 could've got me a burger and fries...but here it went a lot further, instead of traveling 2,395 miles to Oahu and over $600 in airfare for authentic Poke, I got it conveniently here where I currently reside by a well rounded chef who knows what he's doing!!! Can't thank you enough Poke Man, I'll definitely come back and refer all my friends!

Da Truck

What was life like before Yelp,Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter??? A few years ago, I was down in LA trying to look for Roy Choi's Kogi truck. The truck was moving around throughout the day. Where the heck is this truck at? People would say, " Follow the on the 'gram" ( I didn't have Instagram at that time). After some more investigation, I finally found the truck! These days, people let you know days in advance where they are going to be at. I didn't have to look hard for Da Poke-Man truck! Walked up to the truck and got my food in less than 10 minutes. Quick and friendly service. $13 dollars for plate of poke. Loved the traditional poke and loved it with the spicy sauce on top even more! "Broke da mouth" Follow their Instagram for locations and times.

Seafood holds a near and dear place in my heart, so I'm glad I got to try this spot out. I always see the truck is in serramonte mall every Tuesday, but never got around to try it. I tried ordering online, and it was kind of confusing because it was charging for a different spot, so I axe'd that idea just in case. I decided to walk up and order the traditional ahi poke with limu. The poke was incredible! It was so fresh with the right amount of seasoning on the tuna. I thoroughly enjoyed it with my rice and salad. I knocked off a point for value. I get it, fish is expensive, however, I've been to poke spots that give you a combination of items for the same price. The great thing about this place though is that they marinate their tuna or salmon, which adds to the flavor! It's definitely a spot to check out for quality poke!

What a lovely surprise at Oracle Park! It's a fresh option and tasty addition to the stadium selection.

@offthegridsf by SFO yesterday, we once again had an opportunity to check out what was there and we came across this food truck. The truck looked so neat and clean and highly eye catching because of the design and most specially when you see the photos of their menu and Hawaiian drink varieties. We ordered Ahi tuna and the Salmon and they looked so good. The prices were affordable and reasonable too. Once we got to seat down to enjoy our meals it was very tasty and delicious. Will definitely try them again next time for sure!

Once you try and eat this POKE, you just can't ever have enough. I like the benefit of the various areas they travel to. The advantage of the truck being close to your neighborhood or city to get some are the perks of being mobile. Thank you Ray for sharing your delicious makings of poke.

Ahi Tuna- sorry for the bad photo my mom couldn't wait and almost finished it lol mom approved !
Monina C.

My mom's order from me before going to OTD was she wanted to try this truck. I personally do not eat raw fish, but I have a lot of family that loves poke. The food truck for the Serramonte OTD was awesome, there was no line, but they had lots of orders. The lady that took my order was very friendly, and my order was ready within 5 minutes. I got my mom the traditional Ahi Tuna poke, and when I got home I had the intentions of taking a beautiful picture of it, but then my mom ate it before I could. She really liked it and said everything was very fresh, and it was delicious. If it's mom approved then it must be grade A! Now I know why this place is very popular- for their quality and freshness and overall friendly customer service. Mahalo!

This is the only food truck i chase. Da Poke Man serves quality. I seriously got my friends onto this and you dont need much persauding bc once they try the flavor and complexity of seasonings with fresh raw seafood, theyre absolutely sold. I recommend everything on the menu. The simplicity of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, fresh seaweed and salt is what keeps me coming back. This is seriously a poke lover / eaters paradise truck. As close to authenticity and hawaii as you can get I've always been a fan of their shrimp option, but its always sold out I always get the spicy ahi tuna and non spicy option. They've recently added albacore tuna, i like it but my one and only time it had alot of bones.... a bit risque for me since i eat fast. Theres also a salmon option, i personally dont love salmon but i gave it a try bc its Da Poke Man and the flavor is all there, i just personally dont love salmon. I love how hes also health conscious (besides the fact that this truck serves pure protein and fatty omega 3s) he also has a mixed greens option to accompany your fish vs rice

When will you be available at an Off the Grid?

Not til I get my new foodtruck

Will you be open 11/12/19? If so, where would you be located?

I will be at Off the Grid UN Plaza from 11-2pm

The address given is not a location for this food spot. It's an industrial park where food trucks are kept. Frustrated that we have driven out after a long flight and could not locate. Where is this located?

So sorry for the inconvenience. A few things. Unfortunately we are closed today due to our children being off school. Secondly, as a Foodtruck business, we move around from one location to another daily and a different location every day, Yelp does…

The curry was delicious, and the tofu was soft on the inside but coated in a crispy layer -- so good! My husband had the Eel bento box and loved it -- it smelled delicious! My sister and her boyfriend also split a Shrimp Ramen dish and loved that as well. My husband and I both had the caramel iced coffee. It was really good! It was a little on the sweet side, so it's perfect for those with a sweet tooth. I personally prefer my coffee less sweet (but there weren't other options), and I still really liked it! The spot itself is also really cute. It's inside the Japan Center Malls, but they managed to recreate a charming outdoor restaurant façade that makes the space feel really unique. I also loved the convenience of being able to order and pay through a QR code at the table. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us plenty, despite us opting to order through the QR code. Furthermore, I really loved how clearly labeled the menu items were with icons depicting veggie, poultry, fish, shellfish, beef, pork, and spice levels! 10/10 would recommend this place, and I can't wait to come back!

The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited!

It feels a little bit fancy and elevated but not stuffy at all. We sat at the communal table since it was pretty packed on a Thursday night. The service was a bit slow but everyone was very friendly. We ordered the mystery box ($65 for the non premium option) and the creamy scallop roll. The box was beautiful and presented so well! It was also a surprisingly large portion, as each dish contained 2 slices of sashimi and rice under. I was stuffed at the end. Definitely good for sharing. Everything tasted so fresh and it was so fun to try all the different varieties! Would definitely order again. The creamy scallop roll was also fantastic.

We were able to walk in and get seated fairly quickly without much of a wait. We partly also chose this place due to its Japantown location and proximity to Daiso (we had some errands to run). As for food, we got the Kani Dofuno Agedashi as a starter, and then we also shared a few rolls: the spicy tuna maki, negitoro maki, creamy salmon roll, and 49ers roll. We also had a Sapporo and two sake flights! It was nice that every sake flight had totally different sake options to try as well as little name cards describing the drink. All the food was so delicious, and we would definitely not only all rate it a 10/10 but we would also come back another time to try more dishes! :) The ambiance was also nice and cozy! There's a lot of seating, at high tops, tables, or at the sushi bar! Definitely a great vibe. Only downside is that the bathrooms are outside, but that's fairly consistent across most Japantown restaurants. Overall, we were very happy with our dining experience :)
