This was more than $20
Michael M.

EXPENSIVE. You could find another poke place locally that's far less priced for way more. I've been coming here for years and this place used to be awesome. Always ran by super happy and friendly employees. I used to get free treats when I'd stop by. Now it's ran by staff that seem to not really care about the job and charge you $20+ for a tiny poke bowl.

I was in the area and when I saw Fishology Poke Bar I immediately knew what I wanted for lunch. Poke is one of my favorite foods and always a treat when I can find a good spot. The Yelp ratings were good too, so I was excited. The shop is small, but has seating for dine in and is quick service where you order and choose your toppings and add ins at the counter (like most poke places). They also had a cold case with drinks, crab salad and seaweed salad available. I opted for the Regular Poke Bowl ($18) with 2 scoops of spicy tuna and 1 scoop of salmon. The scoops seemed generous compared to some places I've been. The free toppings are red onion, ginger, seaweed and wasabi- I got a bit of all of them and it was interesting that they mixed them all into the poke with my choices of sauce. Typically ginger and wasabi are more side items. I chose spicy mayo, and sweet and spicy unagi sauce and they mixed everything up and put it on top of a 1/2 salad, 1/2 brown rice base. Their additional toppings are listed as $1 each and there's a variety including those I typically see as upgrades (seaweed salad and crab salad) and some that I thought were weird as $1 upgrades (Furikake, sesame seeds, cilantro, jalapenos, etc.) It definitely encourages customers to keep it simple. I opted to add the crab salad and seaweed salad ($1/each) because I really enjoy them with my poke and they did add what seemed to be a generous amount. When I got home I enjoyed the poke bowl, it was fresh and tasted great. Definitely a great lunch treat!

Regular Bowl

Food: I got salmon, ahi, and shrimp in my bowl. Everything was fresh. Ordered the regular size bowl with 3 scoops. Price, just under $19 total. No extras. A lot of topping options and sauce options. Bowl was very good... but maybe a tad overpriced. Service: Place wasn't busy at the hour I went in (approx. 1pm). So, quick service. Person who took my ordered gave recommendations on sauces. Very polite. Ambience: Clean, white walls and tables. A little basic besides the cute neon light that was good for a photo op. Napkin and utensil station was clean.

We ended up here for unplanned dinner but I was pleasantly surprised by our meal. The portion was a bit small for the price but overall I thought it was better quality than some other places I've tried. We were greeted upon entering and they were ready to serve us. Everything is listed out on the menu above but I like actually seeing the ingredients, which you can see but nothing is labeled so I was constantly looking up at the screen and down at the counter. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward and similar ordering style to other build your own poke bowl places. Everything tasted very fresh and I loved that they had some things that aren't commonly at other places like the lemon wedges, cream cheese bites, and togarashi. I was not a fan of the crab salad though, it had more of a tuna salad texture which I wasn't a fan of. Would definitely consider eating here again if I was in this shopping center! It's not an everyday kind of place though since our total came out to $40 for two poke bowls and a side of rice (which was $4 and I thought that was really unnecessary considering you can buy a small bag under $10). But it's a good option if you're wanting poke in Folsom.

First time having poke. I love love love sushi so why wouldn't I love this!!! Such a cute place and so much food for the price. Will definitely enjoy again soon.

The quality of fish was very good! We were very happy with flavor and the options available. The establishment was clean and nice. The staff weren't exactly "inviting" which was unfortunate. The bowls are on the smaller side compared to other poke places I have been to. But if you like good poke I'd give it a try.

Regular Bowl
Valerie A.

Great spot in Folsom for poke bowls. I always do well with the regular, in fact, I have a hard time finishing it, but my husband always devours the large. Friendly staff, very clean and great selection of fish. Sometimes not all the fish looks amazing so I just get what looks good. I've never been disappointed. The sauces and toppings are varied and they don't hold back. We like to eat there but it seems most people do take out. I also like that they have some outdoor tables. Great for lunch or dinner.

Was craving poke and this place got it satisfied! It was so delicious clean place and great service and great poke!

My husband and I came in to grab a couple of poke bowls for dinner last night. The fish (we chose spicy tuna and salmon) was fresh, the sauces and toppings were tasty. Portions were generous! We chose to take our orders home to eat, but could've had a nice little dinner date right there, as the place had plenty of available seating, and was clean and cutely set up. The cheerful young man who served us, Jason, patiently and accurately completed our orders . Two thumbs up for yummy food and great service!

Poke is always a light and healthy meal, so I wanted to check this little place out. Couple tables for seating. First off, it's $20 for the "large" size bowl, which is a decent size but still steep. The average person could finish it when hungry. The main issue I saw with this place - there was only a single staff up front making the poke bowls. No water/drink machine, just drinks for purchase. No soy sauce container provided either? If you want to ask the worker something, you'll have to wait a while while he finishes the bowl of the customer ordering or a door dash order. They need at least 2 people up front handling things. Quality wise the poke was pretty good, with a good selection of protein and toppings (otherwise I'd have dropped 2 stars). Given this experience, probably won't come back.

Tuna Poke Nachos (Spicy) Folsom version is just some pieces of tuna and A LOT of mayo, and some jalapeños??

I wished I like it. Ahi is old and nothing is fresh. Everything needs more flavor. Nothing bets hawaii poke. Customer service was nice.

I've been trying a lot of dumpling spots lately, so I also came out here. A good meal…read more The place is very bright and very clean, and everybody that I dealt with was very friendly. They have a touchscreen that you order on, or, you can also order ahead of time via the Snackpass app. You enter your phone number, and you can earn points toward free food. After I put in my order, the gentleman told me it would take about 10 minutes. That's about what it took, and I appreciate the heads up on what to expect timewise. They have a very large selection of boiled, steamed, pan fried, the works. You know the dumplings are fresh, because you can watch them being made right before your eyes. I tried the pork shrimp and mushroom dumplings, and the lamb radish dumplings. Both steamed. They were both excellent dumplings. The outside was not too thin or too thick, the mushroom gave a little bit more of a earthy flavor to the pork and the shrimp, and on the other ones, the lamb was tender, not gamey, , and the radish just gave it the tiniest bit of a "Kick." Instead of a dipping sauce, when I got home, I sprinkled a little bit of sweet soy sauce, and a little bit of fish sauce on them, and that really amped up the flavor. This is another one of those places where you don't have the option of several choices of smaller amounts of dumplings, , but I didn't mind. Because they were they were excellent! For what I got, the price was very reasonable. . I now have another dumpling place in my rotation. Thanks!

Hometown Dumpling in Folsom, CA, serves up some authentic homemade dumpling... they gots boiled,…read more steamed , and pan fried in a variety of fillings. The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items. I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no. It is homemade and comforting, yes! The place is clean, comfortable, and has basic furnishings and decor. There is no music or TV. The owner works most of the shifts. It truly is a small family business that welcomes your family.

Amazing gluten free menu. Amazing and delicious food!!! Cute little establishment in the El Dorado…read moreTown Plaza. Size of a little cafe maybe. A couple tables outside. Small little bar for some drinks. Server was very nice. First time I had them was for take out and I like it so much that I had to go back and dine in! Grilled oysters were good, but I didn't like the Parmesan that was in it, I think?. Yuzu mahi was sooooo good! I ate the entire plate and could have licked it. They actually ran out nothing sauce and used an aioli sauce that paired very well. Mahi fish is like the steak of the fish to me, so it was very filling. Coconut rice has coconut shavings in it and made it ten times better. The Hawaiian bbq was sooooo much better fresh in person. I had it as a take out and it was good, but so much better fresh. This will now be a go to restaurant for Me.

Kids chicken and rice was so crappy. It was literally chicken thighs boiled in watered down teriyaki & soy sauce. Sorry but my 5-year old eats food that tastes good, not just anything on the table. We ordered the roasted wings, the chicken tacos and the Hawaiian bbq plate with the kalbi beef upgrade. The fire roasted wings were cold, saucy and dis not even have one char mark on them to show that they were fire roasted. And they tasted horrible. The chicken tacos were subpar. The same chicken meat from the kids meal. One of the 2 tacos did not even have cheese and they had gotten so soggy that you couldn't even pick it up. The Hawaiian bbq plate was disappointing. Same boiled chicken from the kids meal, 4 pieces of shrimp and small pieces of beef. The 36 dollar price tag on this was a joke. How can you have 4 plates and all 4 were so shitty? The only good thing was the drinks. So disappointed with the overall below average tasting food. One of the worst foods I ever had. Never going back here again.

Great sushi and great service…read more I've been here a couple times and also ordered to go; I have always been pleased with the quality of their food and the kindness of their staff. Two times, we have gone with our kids when they were infants and toddlers. The staff was very kind and patient with them and found a place where we could all sit without waking the baby. They have a great happy hour and their sushi is delicious. They give great cuts of fish and each roll is unique and tasty. My father in law LOVES their sesame chicken bento box too.

Wait time was only about 15 minutes when I walked in there was a good amount of people eating so it's nice to know that on a Friday night people are still here. The moment I open that to go box the sushi roll was pleasantly colorful and organized well. I really like that they included all the condiments inside that to go box. My first bite was very delicious I tasted a lot of the fish versus rice which is always hard to find at certain places when the ratio isn't right. Service was 5 stars for me! We will definitely come back and dine in to get the full experience. Give this place a shot! Really good sushi here!

Fresh made to order musubi and Hawaiian bbq dish plates. I ordered a teriyaki beef, rice and Mac…read moresalad plate and was given so much beef it had to be in its own container! Also, a teriyaki chicken plate and it was delicious. I took some leftovers to work the next day and everyone commented how good my food smells when I went to reheat it so I had to brag where I got it. It made me realize that I want to re order again for tomorrow as well. Great environment for a quick eat in folsom with friendly staff. I'll be back soon!

My husband and I were seriously craving Hawaiian food on a Sunday morning and wanted something for…read morelunch, but we didn't feel like going to Ono's or L&L for the usual picks. We decided to try something local and came across Big Island Hawaiian BBQ, which was a close enough drive from where we live so we figured, why not give this spot a try? Overall, we had a really great first experience. The quality of the food stood out right away as everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were honestly very impressed with how good everything tasted. Even though the portions aren't as packed as some other Hawaiian BBQ spots, the food absolutely hits all the Hawaiian flavors and cravings we love, and we left very satisfied. The pricing was decent (slightly cheaper than other Hawaiian food spots), the interior was clean and well-kept, and I appreciated the designated sauce station on top of having sauces at each table for convenience. To top it all off, the Pineapple Dole Whip was the perfect dessert as it was light, refreshing, and such a great finishing touch. Another big thing to note is that they offer Musubi Mondays, where you can get 50% off musubis. My husband immediately noticed the sign for it in the front of the store and was so excited. We thought how it was such a sweet deal that we are already considering coming back on a Monday just for that to stock up on musubis to eat at home. However, there is a max of 2 orders per customer for the Musubi Monday deal, but still totally worth it to try. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is purely because of portion size compared to other Hawaiian places. The spam musubis are also a bit small in size compared to other places that make spam musubi but the teriyaki sauce that goes with it makes it better! That said, the quality, taste, and overall experience definitely make up for it! This is officially going to be our new go-to spot for Hawaiian food moving forward, and we're excited to come back again soon!
