I was really craving poke, and this was so satisfying. My bf picked up a 3-protein bowl for me with tuna, salmon, and hamachi with spicy mayo and ponzu with tons of toppings. The fish tasted so fresh and the sauces were delicious. The crab salad was also really good and normally that's iffy to me. I'm definitely coming back here when I've got a poke craving. read more

Hands down! Out of all the poke spots I've been too... they have the best seaweed salad and crab salad. I could come here just for these with some white rice and be content with life! Always fresh tasting proteins. Always friendly employees. Always quick service. I did order a couple classic onigiris and a salmon roll too as I was paying. So we sat and ate our bowls while we waited. Kids were happy with the snacks that came with their poke. read more

My all-time favorite poke spot! Hashtag Poki is insanely delicious. The fish is crazy fresh. The mix-ins and sides are also super flavorful and fresh. I absolutely ADORE the ika salad. The dressing is so good and the squid is juicy. The portion sizes are very generous. Oftentimes poke places serve majority rice with their bowls but Hashtag Poki loads on the fish! I wish I was exaggerating when I say I eat here at least 4 times a week. This location is just a pick-up spot. There are no tables or seats. The service is always friendly and very quick. This is the perfect meal to picnic in the park with! read more

My fav poke place in the area! I love their yuzu sauce and being able to get half wonton chips, half sushi rice. The portion sizes are a bit on the smaller size which is perfect for me since I tend not to be able to finish poke bowls from other establishments. The fish is very fresh too! read more

Service was good and staff members were nice but the food is just ok. The seafood doesn't taste that fresh and also portions were on the smaller side since they use a tiny scooper. The customizability is nice but everything in terms of taste including the non-protein sides were just OK. read more

Absolutely delicious!! we were recommended to try this place and we're so glad we did! When we first walked in we were greeted with nice warm smiles.

This is my favorite poke spot in Berkeley! I got the small poke bowl, which I think is the perfect serving size. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and I love how they mix the fish with the sauces, adding so much flavor. I went with the Yuzu and Ponzu sauces together, and it was an excellent combo. I also placed an online order for pickup, and it was super fast and easy. I'll definitely be back! read more

What a great start to begin the year with a new spot unlocked. Hashtag poki is quick and professional at their job. Order what you want, here's your bowl. Seating inside very minimal but you would need to go during slow hours. I went here Sunday lunch, and enjoyed my meal. I was lucky enough to grab a seat and enjoy all the flavors bursting in my mouth. The wonton chips is definitely a must have in your poke bowl. Quite creative, I like the idea! Street parking is provided, not hard to miss. A corner restaurant to serve you. I am most likely coming back to this joint to enjoy more of their menu. read more

This was my first time eating here -- neighborhood felt a little sketch (wasn't sure this hole in the wall would live up to the reviews). It was great! Staff very friendly and helpful ordering. Food was fresh and delicious. And the portion ended up being large enough for two meals. Really good deal! I'll come back here for sure. read more

Got a small poke bowl with hamachi and half salad half brown rice. The portions are smaller than I remembered from past visits but the fish, the rice, seaweed salad, and crab salad were all fresh. They charge $1.50 for avocado which is kind of a bummer but the quality of the food is good. Other poke places like Oke Poke include avocado so I'm taking one star off for this. But overall still one of my poke spots in the East Bay for freshness and quality. read more

Super fresh poke and fresh salad greens in Berkeley! I also love that they offer macaroni salad and edamame as side options. I got a small and the portions were a bit small for the price but for the quality, I believe it's worth it. My only complaint is the sauces are a bit too salty and not savory enough - I'll have to go back and try some other sauce combinations. read more

I wish I would have taken pictures of the food. Oh well, next time for sure I got two of their rolls + hamachi nigiri & inari nigiri. The fish was very fresh. The hamachi was buttery and the avocado in the salmon roll was very fresh as was the salmon. The inari nigiri was especially tasty. Generous portions and good prices. I will be back. read more

My favorite poke place in the bay! I usually ask them to make it a salad for me and then I'll get the big one and have it over a couple of meals. I love that they have so many sauces but I always choose the same two, spicy Wasabi mayo and soy sauce. read more

Good value- fresh ingredients and lots of options. I like to get double greens as my base.

While food was good and tasty, this is way overpriced for the portions. The scoops of fish were so small. For a bowl that cost $23 I would have expected a bigger portion. read more

This is one of my family go-to spots. We've eaten here between 30-40 times. However, this evening I was completely underwhelmed as I noticed small scoop after small scoop going into my custom poke bowl. The rice portions were adequate but I knew something was off when I saw a tiny little scoops of crab salad and macaroni. The protein scoops were literally like 2/3 full and I was not happy as I order 4 of these usually. The only thing they were generous about were the jalepeños and wasabi! Hopefully this was just a bad day. read more

My favorite poke place in the bay! The fish is high-quality, they give a good proportion of sauces and mix-ins, and have all the options I usually go for in my bowls. The location itself is relatively spacious, though they don't have too many seating options. I usually come in for an early dinner, and have always been able to grab a seat. They have huge windows, so you can bathe in the sunlight while you eat. The staff are all nice and patient, and were happy to explain which options contained gluten and which did not (though the signs also mention it!). read more

Hashtag Poki - Salmon and shrimp poke - Poke Near Me - Berkeley, California

Solid poke spot! I live a lot further away from campus and no longer have easy access to the other poke spots around, so this was the closest one. There's plenty of street parking here, and the inside has seating. This place is definitely higher quality than the other spots near campus, but I would say their portions are smaller (specifically their rice!) but I honestly don't mind paying more if the fish is better. The staff is also super nice and the inside is always clean, which I appreciate a lot! read more

I love this spot. Great quality fish, great value, quick and easy. A fave! Especially love the salmon skin rolls and eel.

I demolished my poke bowl! Very very tasty. Visited on a very quiet Wednesday for lunch. Got the mini poke bowl with hamachi and salmon with the Original + Spicy Miso as my sauce. Everything was so good, except next time I'd replace the Mac Salad with Wakame. They had a good selection of toppings The fish was really good and fresh. Wish I got a regular size for a little more portions. Even though finding parking can be tough, I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Hashtag Poki - Build Your Own Poke Box Mini - Poke Near Me - Berkeley, California

I pass by this place often but never went in until today. My parents and I came back into town after a weekend trip and wanted something quick and healthy. We decided on poke and this place is the closest to me with highest ranking. The store is quite small with limited seating. Service is friendly and attentive. We ordered three regular bowls with brown rice and three proteins. I thought the poke was fresh and lived up to my expectation. The regular bowl is a bit small though IMO. And they charge extra for sauce on the side which I thought was odd. It's definitely not the best poke I've had but it gets the job done. read more

Had the mini poke bowl with brown rice and wonton chips and hamachi and tuna. I should've gotten two sides of rice instead because I felt like I had too much toppings and didn't really enjoy the wonton chips- they were undercooked so I asked for another, which they politely gave, although, the new bag of chips were undercooked as well. I didn't picture the chips. The poke is decent. The sauces were okay and the amount of fish is slim. I have had better build your own poke bowls comparable to this spot. read more

It's a little hidden place right on telegraph. The service was good as we came in and they served us right away. There's a few tables where you can dine in but honestly it's best to have it as take out. It's a very casual place. The poke itself was nicely sized and the fish was fresh. I really enjoyed the macorni salad. However there was very little topping options and the seaweed was a bit salty. read more

A little Poke shop with a name that just rolls off the tounge. Located in Berkley, this poke place was really good. The quality of their fish reminds me of the quality when I went to Hawaii and got poke. Their tuna tasted fresh and didn't have a fish taste to it. yes i know fish is fish, but if the fish is going bad it develops a funky taste. The sushi rice was exactly what I expected, short grain rice with that tanginess from the rice vinegar, i haven't tasted rice like this at other places yet. The crab salad was really nice too. I'm not sure how they made it but it didn't have that classic imitation crab taste, it tasted just a little better. This place was surprising and well worth it. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

Hashtag Poki is my go-to delivery restaurant because they're so above and beyond the other poke places in the area. The food is delicious and the add-ons complement the fish and sides so well. It feels like each one was chosen intentionally versus a hodgepodge of cheap vegetables. I've dined in once and the people working the counter were super friendly and patient with me as I navigated their menu for the first time. The interior is quite small so I wouldn't bring more than 1-2 people at a time. The food is packaged to go anyway so it's not an issue if you need to eat elsewhere. read more

I love this place! I always come here when I want a guilt-free lunch LOL. Like every other Poke spot, it's customizable your liking. Every time, protein quality has been consistent. I always add all toppings which I recommend when you first come here! I'd say it's a good amount, its really filling. It's on the pricier side but kind of standard for most poke places. There's two tables outside available for outdoor "dining" which is really convenient during Covid. read more

I absolutely love Hashtag Poki and the entire crew who works there. Everything is incredibly fresh and you can customize your order with so many different options for sides like wakame, macaroni and crab salads, hella proteins, including ahi, salmon, squid, and then, the add-ons like cucumbers and jalapeños are always crisp and cut fresh. Plus, house-made sauces. They also recently added onigiri! My son loves to get the chicken katsu onigiri and an order of gyoza or he also enjoys the miso grilled salmon with brown rice. Definitely give this place a try and you'll be back over and over. read more

Great poke! I went with Hamachi and Tuna, and they blew me away with the freshness of the fish. I wish I could say most poke places are that way, but unfortunately they are not. Service wise, it was good. Don't mean to gripe, but this stood out to us. The Asian gal taking our order talked way too fast, questioning what we wanted too quickly from just answering the previous question, so much that it wasn't inviting. You'd think there would be a line, but nope. Just one other guy, and he was just getting help by the other employee, odd. Something they should think about changing. Also, I had their mochi ice cream, but I don't recommend them. Tried two different ones, and the mochi tasted ok (a bit on the old, bad texture). Great poke tho! Hamachi was our most fave! read more

Best poki spot in Berkeley! The food is amazing and fresh ans there are so many delicious options.

My fiancée and I stopped by here today for lunch. We both got the mini box which came with two scoops of your choice of protein, side, and base. We also got a lychee oolong tea. Everything was excellent, from the design of the restaurant to the staffs service. If you've never ordered poke before this place makes it easy on you. Instructions on how to order are on the large menu and at the counter. The staff is kind even if you mess up the flow of your order (like ya girl). They give large portions and everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared/cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great meal. read more

I love this place! I love how you can get half and half bases and then get sooo many different toppings on top. I personally think the mini is more worth than regular because it's basically all the same except you get one more protein. Their ingredients are all pretty fresh and good quality! I would go lighter on the sauces though; I got three and it ended up being a bit salty in the end. read more

I ordered through ubereats since I had a promo code, and wanted to try something new. This place is a bit too far from the Berkeley campus to walk to, so this was the perfect opportunity to try it. I've heard nothing but good reviews about it. I ordered a build your own poke bowl with salmon, spicy tuna, octopus, and hamachi. For the base I got sushi rice and mixed greens, and the crab salad. I also got most of the extra toppings. Everything tasted super fresh! I was impressed with the fish quality, though the octopus was a bit tough. I also got the miso soup, which was pretty standard. Overall, this spot is amazing for poke and I would highly recommend it! read more

I've been coming here about once a month since early 2023 after my partner introduced me to poke bowls. The fish is always fresh and we've always been satisfied with the portions and price. The staff is direct to move the line along while also attending to online orders. One of the staff members even briefly came out down Telegraph calling for us when my partner left her wallet after dining in, which we greatly appreciated. I'm finally sharing my thoughts about Hashtag Poki because I recently tried one of their new menu items: one of the "Okinawa onigiri." Unlike conventional onigiri, Okinawa onigiri is like a sandwich with Spam. We ordered an avocado one to complement our poke bowls one evening and wow, it was incredible! The textures and flavors of the nori sheet, rice, teriyaki sauce, Spam, egg, and cooling avocado were a delight. The Okinawa onigiri was surprisingly large too. I definitely plan on trying the other flavors on future visits. read more

I could write an ode about my love for the best poke place in the Bay Area. You're able to customize your own bowls and they have a great selection of fish! my order is a large bowl: mixed greens, half hamachi, half salmon, avocado, edamame, extra scallions, spicy original, ponzu, and yuzu sauce. They also have tofu as a vegan friendly alternative I love that #poki offers hamachi as I have found it hard to find at other places! I recommend getting yuzu sauce over the greens to add extra brightness to your bowl. The staff is friendly and will help with suggestions if you're unsure on what to order. read more

TL:DR - All in all pretty solid but unspectacular spot. Salmon was fine, but the Tuna seemed like it could be fresher. Average price, decent portions, good side options. Mini is just one less protein and closer to the 50/50 protein to rice ratio I like. I think the mini is a better deal. ------------------------------------------------- Place is alright to pretty good. The staff was memorably nice. Pretty enthusiastic but overly so. Felt like they were pretty happy to be there, which is nice when you're asking for like 20 toppings of something to not feel like you're bothering someone. The establishment itself is pretty small, just the serving counter and maybe like 10 seats from what I remember. I got a regular portion with two scoops of salmon and one tuna with a rice and wonton chip base (I like some crunch in my poke) and then the seaweed salad and crab salad along with the spicy original and a drizzle of spicy mayo. I like that I can get wonton chips, cause I love some crunch in my poke, but I hate that it counts as a base, cause one scoop of rice is not enough. I will also say the tuna did not look fresh. It was definitely a more pale pink. I'm hoping it was just previously frozen tuna vs. old tuna. Outside of that, crab salad was pretty good. The spicy mayo, spicy original sauce, and seaweed salad were fine. Pricing is pretty average. The only other nit-pick I had was that the "mini" size is pretty much the exact same size as the regular, with just one less scoop of fish. And to be honest, I like a 50/50 or less rice to fish ratio (slightly more rice), and the regular portion is a little too much fish for me. With everything else being the same (same scoops of base and sides), the mini is a much better deal. All in all pretty solid but unspectacular. I think I'll try a few other poke places before I'd say this is a regular spot for me. read more
