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…

Small dining area with one server who was attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable. I chose the lumpia--it was excellent. My late mother-in-law was Filipina--and this lumpia was even better than her recipe as I recall. It was crunchy, not greasy, had an absolutely delicious meat center, and was twice as long as what she made. It paired well with the Italian arneis by Angelo Negro Vino Blano, as well as my companion's Kahlua pulled pork sliders. Beautifully plated. The tall ceilings feel expansive and provided a great venue for the old school albums spinning very interesting collection of music such as New Low by Mk.gee. Huge cool art on the wall, with a playful tiger. Huge wall art display of wine crates. Lovely open-air seating as you walk in through the entrance. Very happening place. What a delightful find.

All the food was amazing and I highly recommend…read more Definitely make a reservation because the restaurant is on the smaller side and it is packed. It is no longer impossible to get a reservation, but I wouldn't chance it and just try to walk in. Because the restaurant is so small if you happen to have luggage with you, they will store it for you, like a bag check, which I thought was pretty neat. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share because that's how you eat here. I really enjoyed the caviar taro puff. The duck liver mousse was the only dish I could do without. It ended up being on the sweeter side since it is banana bread, and I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor combinations. The grilled zucchini was amazing as was the heirloom tomato salad. We also get scallion rice noodle and fried rice with the spam on the side. They do fried food very well. We got the fried game hen but since we had a table of seven we increased the dish to six pieces instead of four. We probably could've done with just the four cause they ended up being huge, which was surprising. We also got the swordfish Katsu, which is also fried. Out of the two I would probably get the swordfish Katsu. Mainly because even though the food is so deliciously fried, it was still a lot of fried food. We also got the chips and dip which I think will be a crowd pleaser even for pick your eaters because they are basically elevated potato chips with dip. For drink, I went with the carrot tea. If you like carrot juice, which I love this is a great tea for you. I would definitely get it again if I come back. Service was superb and very attentive and quick. I love the decor of this place with the open kitchen where you can watch everyone at work. If you have a chance to eat here, I highly recommend that you do.

First things first, I have a lot of great things to say about my experience, and if you're able to,…read moremake a stop to try out this place. This came with a stellar recommendation, and it definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant was beautiful and there's an open kitchen right in the middle. We were seated near the kitchen in a booth. I told our server that I am lactose tolerant, and she said something that I missed. She then walked away and came back with a pink slip with all the items on the menu on what I need to avoid and dishes that they can make modifications. I thought that was such a sweet touch that I've never experienced before. For appetizers, we got the tuna poke and pig head croquette. The fresh tuna poke on top of a crispy nori was a very tasty bite but the tuna was a bit chewy from the sinew. The pig head croquette was amazing. Perfectly fried and meaty bite. It paired well with the fresh cube of watermelon and fish caramel sauce. For entrees, the black cod was a huge surprise for me. I didn't think I would like it but it became the night's highlight. The fish was perfectly cooked and served on top of crispy rice with a very mild but impressionable coconut green curry sauce. The second highlight for me was the pork shoulder chop. Very tender and juicy cut with really good sauce. The miso cabbage and the candied pecans really gave that extra oomph to each bite. Lastly, the fried game hen was fried so perfectly and was super juicy inside. The pickled carrot was meh for me though. For desserts, we ended with a milk tea panna cotta with stone fruit granita and tuile. It was made with coconut milk which is for a lactose intolerant girly like me. Not a budget meal, but imo, well worth the gastronomical and hospitable experience.

We noticed that there are various Hawaiian Drive Inn locations across the Bay Area and decided to…read moredo a not so scientific approach to figure out which one is the best. We started off with what we call the OG location, closest to where we grew up, the Excelsior Hawaiian Drive Inn. We called in our order ahead of time because it was around lunchtime and there's always a long line. When we got there about eight minutes later, we paid (it's cash only), and we're on our way in less than two minutes. For fairness, we will be comparing the musubi and chicken katsu rice plate to compare. This location's food is made to order so it is still burning hot when we get it. They musubi was the perfect ratio of fluffy rice that stayed in one block to a 1cm thick slab of katsu. The oil that was used to fry the chicken was clear and clean. The sauce is the cherry on top of the perfect combo of carb and protein. The chicken katsu in the rice plate is the same melt in your mouth cuts of chicken in a crispy light batter. You get a large helping of rice and a macaroni salad that's light on mayo and complements the plate well. They come with a sauce that's not too salty or oily. This Hawaiian Drive Inn, in my opinion, is the best one in the Bay.
