Side Toppings
Vonia P.

3.5/5 Stars I will say that for this city, Hula Poke will do well in this city. Not that it needs me to say this. A California Asian girl, I have standards that stand a tad more rigorous than Texans, I would say- at least when it comes to fresh, top tier quality seafood. That being said, even though I do know how to make my food look good haha, there was some sogginess and mushiness in both the eel & salmon proteins that were chosen. This was slight, however. Overall, the seafood was had a good flavor and freshness. The usual complaint was there, that the ratio to vegetables/other toppings was something something like 1:5 to 1:8. I suppose this can be expected. It was irksome that so many things were extra, including several toppings, several "premium" options for main proteins, when the price for the bowls themselves was already the rather premium almost $20 after taxes. I did maximize on all the toppings. All the ones that were not an extra fee- which there were many of both free and not free, luckily. My overflowing bowl was beautifully colorful. The crunch was pleasing. No complaints on the toppings. They even offer sides here. I really was not planning on getting anything else; I was literally on my way out the door, but when I saw those sesame balls on the menu, I knew I had to order some for nostalgia's sake- despite the ridiculous $6.49 sticker. Those sweet red bean filled, deep fried, calorie dense puffs did not disappoint! Being honest, they were fine. Good enough. Probably average, Ranch 99, Chinese Bakery bought. Sadly, when you are in Texas, you will take what you can get sometimes! Nice that they offer the sides, including Butterfly Shrimp, Harumaki, & Takoyaki, another favorite of mine! The service was simple and quick enough, since it was take out for this experience. The place looked pretty small, maybe next time I will stay a while!

The sushi burrito here was a little small but it was tasty. The fish tasted fresh and the sushi rice was well made. The service was friendly. I would come back here and try their appetizers and bowls.

Hula Poke always hits the spot! This amazing restaurant is located in the San Pedro area (in the same shopping center as Guitar Center). Please keep in mind that their parking lot is pretty small and they are currently undergoing construction, so part of it is closed. However, Hula Poke is a quick and delicious place to grab some food, so people usually move in and out of the restaurant fairly quickly. With that being said, their menu is very self-explanatory. They have a full bar where you select what you'd like to have in your bowl or salad. In my opinion going with the sushi rice as a base is always the way to go. During my last visit I got a scoop of salmon and spicy tuna. I wasn't sure which sauces to include and the staff made some great recommendations. The food was fresh and delicious as you might expect. My only feedback is that the spicy tuna was a little too spicy. I am someone who eats spicy food with breakfast, lunch and dinner, and it definitely caught ME off guard. Highly recommend checking out this amazing restaurant if you are near North Star and are craving something fresh to beat the Texas heat.

The staff was super friendly, I mentioned this was my first time here and he was very patient and polite guiding me through the process. This is a "chipotle style" ordering but with poke bowls. The environment was very welcoming and there was some tables there too if you'd like to eat there. My poke bow was delicious! I customized my own with my main proteins being spicy salmon and ahi tuna. Definitely will be coming back and trying some more delicious poke!

Listen -- we're in San Antonio eating poke! I've been enjoying poke for 15+ years, and it's awesome to see more U.S. cities hopping on this trend, just like Nashville hot chicken. More spots are popping up, and Hula Poke is a solid option. If it's your first time, think Subway or Chipotle but for poke -- fresh veggies, raw fish options, and a ton of sauce combos to choose from. The rice is always cooked perfectly, ingredients are fresh, and prices are about what you'd expect for poke these days. Why not 5 stars? Well... not every spot in town has access to the absolute freshest ahi tuna, so sometimes the fish can be a step below what I'd call top-tier. But honestly, Hula Poke makes the most of what they get, and it's still super tasty. Staff is super friendly, the spot is small but usually not crowded, and there's a place to sit. Bonus: my wife isn't a fish fan, so whenever I get a chance to sneak out for poke, this is my go-to!

Great poke place in San Antonio! Some things that make this place stand out amongst other poke places: - the staff gives VERY generous portions - option of eel as protein (yummy!) - option of shrimp tempura as protein - they toss everything but the rice in the sauce to make everything super flavorful! I would definitely come back and definitely recommend!

I had the chance to try Hula Poke today since I was craving Poke, and let me just say this quality of food does not disappoint! I ordered from DoorDash and this wouldn't be my first time trying this delicious place, I can say the food is well put together and super tasty! I usually get it delivered cause I'm a great distance away so I can't comment on the service but the food speaks for itself! You will not be disappointed to explore the exotic food here. I ordered a Poke Bowl which comes with customizable options that really make the ordering experience simple and easy! The flavors of the Crab Sticks & Salmon are so tasty and I would definitely recommend getting a variations of sauces to find your perfect preference! I also love the Takoyaki, it is a must try at this yummy restaurant. Only downside I would add is the hot cheetos I had in my bowl were a bit stale and my rice could've been a little more fresh but that's all I would have to say other than that you should really check out this lovely food.

This motherload of poke goodness was my own creation.

I have a favorite poke spot in Houston (where I live). But Hula Poke challenged that hard. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated with comfy, leather chairs. Props to the designer behind this. Edit: Apparently the owner herself designed this space! The fish is fresh, and I love that they offer organic brown rice. I got the sushi rice because I thought it would've been seasoned but it wasn't - so next time, half brown rice and half kale. I got spicy tuna with regular salmon, but I should've gotten just the regular tuna and salmon given that their spicy ginger sauce is fire (not as in super spicy but as in spicy enough and scrumptious). I also love that their sauces aren't overly sweet. The wasabi mayo is also delicious. Get that on the rice. For my next visit, I would get: -1/3 organic brown rice if I'm in the mood, with - raw tuna, salmon, and unagi, plus: - cucumber, mango, pineapple, julienned carrots and zucchini, baby kale, lots of baby kale, a couple of broccoli florets, and a lot of edamame, mixed with - both spicy ginger and ponzu sauces, - a dash wasabi mayo on the rice, then topped with - tamago (sweet egg bites), ginger, seaweed salad, nori, sesame seeds, masago, bonito flakes, and green onion. So satisfying. Edit: We loved it so much here that we dropped by again the following day before our drive home. The gentleman behind the counter remembered me and was so sweet and friendly! And the poke was just as delicious. We miss Hula Poke already.

Create your own bowl

Poke places are few and far between in San Antonio (or at least, good poke places are), so I was curious when I found out about Hula Poke - along with all of its highly rated reviews. Overall, it did the job and fulfilled the craving, and I enjoyed the bowl I created. The service was excellent - as a first timer, I appreciated the patience and kindness of the worker who guided me through all of the options they offered for creating your own bowl. The portions are generous. The bowl is deceiving - it is deep and very filling! Especially if you take advantage of all of the toppings they offer. You select your base, 2 or 3 protein choices, veggies, sauces, toppings, and final touches (furikake, sesame seeds, etc.). I wish there was a classic ahi tuna option (perhaps there is and it just wasn't available at the time I went!), but I got the regular tuna and the spicy salmon and spicy tuna. The fish and ingredients were all fresh, which is vital for a poke place. The only extra costs are avocado or cream cheese add-ons. Everything else comes with the cost of your bowl, so pile it on! There is indoor seating available, takeout, and order online availability. Give them a visit if you're craving poke!

Is it just me or is ordering at. Poke place kind of confusing? I guess I just overwhelmed with all the choices as everything looks good. I ordered a 2 protein bowl with ahi tuna and eel. All the other stuff I added was what seemed to go together well. I had vegetables as my base in place of rice to make it lower carb. I have to admit it was spicier than I expected. Everything was fresh and flavorful. My total was $18as I added avocado which is an extra charge and a soda. I felt my lunch was a good health alternative to my usually salad with chicken or a bunless burger. This place was very good and I would come back next time I am in the area.

Im so happy I found this place. It's small but cute, they have the freshest ingredients, varied and colorful toppings and dressings. Whatever combination your heart desires. The portions are generous and the prices are fair.

Dinner delivery, sauce on the side
Ryen B.

Yum! Really good poke bowl. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, fast delivery with UberEats. Brown rice base was well cooked, veggies are crisp, all my fave toppings (edamame, pickled ginger and daikon, zucchini noodles, tomago, bonito flakes, shredded nori and more!). Side of seaweed salad is also very good. Recommend.

Ciara L.

My favorite place to get food like their menu items and personal favs; 2 protein poke bowl and or the sushi burrito service is great very friendly. Casual ambiance with some indoor seatings not for large parties.

Hitachino is one of our favorite breweries, and we had tried this version when we are in Japan, and could not believe our luck finding it here! It's worth the price of admission alone. As for the food, well, it is what it is. Honestly, it's not terrible, but you can tell you're not getting the creme de la creme (unsurprisingly). We mostly stuck to tuna and salmon, but we did appreciate their spicy garlic edamame (not spicy at all) and their spicy seaweed salad (slightly spicy). We ordered tempura that we had to send back because the sweet potato wasn't fully cooked. Some of the dishes on the conveyer belt definitely looked unappetizing (like the omelet roll) and since we were towards the middle-end of the restaurant, we had to wait a while for food to come our way. Service is minimal, but the atmosphere is boisterous because these kinds of places are fun. We were smart to make a quick reservation on our way from Six Flags because the place was slammed by the time that we left. Three stars, but it'll remain a fond memory celebrating our daughter's 9th birthday.
