I heart poké. Although I have never been to Hawaii, I definitely know a good poké place when I see one, and Hula Poké is EXCELLENT poké. The protein options are super deliciously fresh. And you get to pick as many toppings as you like?! Yea, the only things that cost extra are avocado and cream cheese. I appreciate that they have a picture of the menu items on the customer's side for easy picking, because I sure as hell did not know "tamago" meant egg (it's good though, you should try it). Knowing me, I had to get almost everything. My favorite toppings are the seaweed salad, pickled daikon, and tamago. The sauce is probably the most important flavor enhancer, so make sure you choose something sweet or savory based on what you're feeling, but I really don't think you could go wrong here. Oh, and furikake too -- get that for a very sushi taste. The ingredients were great. The staff is friendly, and super helpful/patient. You really could not find a better deal for poké. 5 stars I love you read more

This is personal taste, but I was displeased with my delivery order. The crab salad (usually my favorite topping) was made with spicy mayo and I couldn't eat it. The classic sauce somehow tasted southwestern instead of Asian. There also wasn't enough sauce - the rice underneath was completely dry. And the avocado was a guacamole type puree. I won't order again. Positives - the tempura shrimp and eel were tasty. read more

It's not an ​exaggeration when I say I can't get enough of poke! I find myself driving to Hula at least once a week. Their poke is seriously delicious​, fresh, & quickly accessible even in the thick of lunch hour. I've written about Hula's other location before & this one is just as good! I really like that they have options like chicken & tempura shrimp for people who aren't quick to jump on the salmon, tuna, shrimp, or crab train. They also have a multitude of options to mix into your bowl or burrito. I'm more of a poke bowl person & my perfect bowl includes the two scoop protein bowl with sushi rice. I ask for two scoops of salmon, lettuce, cucumber, daikon, cabbage, sriracha​ aioli, eel sauce, topped with masago, seaweed salad, crab salad, green onion, spicy furikake, garlic crisps, & shredded nori. I have gotten this same mixture many times & I have yet to get tired of it. Just writing this review is making me hungry! Another plus to Hula Poke is that the staff are always nice & ready to assist you! I haven't had any issues with customer service either in person or over the phone. Something to note if you are planning on placing an order over the phone is to make sure you check the number you are calling. I believe​ Google​e had/has the wrong number for this location & goes to a locals cell. I'm not sure if this has been fixed, but you've been warned haha. read more

Hula - Salmon poke bowl - Poke Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Typically I love this place and I should have reviewed them at that time frame but when I went last week it was the absolute worst. I waited to cool off until I hesitated to go there for lunch. The servers were rushing us to order and we were the only ones in the place. Then they were super greedy with the servings. I mean 5 small pieces of mango and splashes of house sauce. I was disappointed and I'm not sure if I'll go back. Good luck read more

Hula - a bowl of sushi - Poke Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I for one am a fan of Rolling Fish, and Hula Poke has the same owner. I'm not sure why Hula Poke has a different name, but it is basically the same set up as Rolling Fish, just in another great location. Hula Poke is located right outside North Star Mall, which is perfect for a quick bite to eat before or after hitting up the mall! Atmosphere is casual, and there are some hand-painted murals on the walls. I like the fresh decor. Place is clean! There are bathrooms in the back. We came in for the BOGO free special on 3/17/18, and the service was IMPECCABLE. Like for real, you guys. The workers all served with a smile, even in the midst of a very busy lunch hour, and they were indulging and kind when I asked for seconds of my favorite toppings. I also asked for recommendations on a sauce, and, when I told them I liked some heat, they made me some spicy sauce concoction that was delicious. Midway through her meal, my friend also asked for some extra hot Cheetos topping to put in a cup, and they gave it to her with no disgruntling at all. To top it all off, they were incredibly patient with my mom who has never had poke before; they answered all her questions and did not mind her asking what things were. THAT IS 5/5 SERVICE Y'ALL. Like Rolling Fish, I think the price is very reasonable for $8.95 for two proteins and $10.95 for 3 proteins, especially when you know how to ask for all the toppings and double scoops of your faves. :) The only drawback is that it was pretty packed during the lunch hour because of the BOGO special. The place seats 22 people right now, and some of us had to stand with our food while waiting for a space to clear up. But I think that, normally, it wouldn't be so packed and that there would be plenty of room. To me, Hula Poke stood out because of its excellent service. Even with us having to stand for a little bit, this place warrants a definite 5/5 stars. read more

This is my new FAVORITE lunch spot! I chose 3 proteins for $10.95 and when i tell you it's the best $11 I've spent, I'm not exaggerating. It's set up similar to Chipotle & Salata . You pick what protein, sauces and unlimited toppings that you like. I chose Salmon, Spicy Tuna & EEL, brown rice and chose Sirachi Aioli & EEl sauce and a ton of amazing toppings. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, my bowl was HUGE. I love meals where I'm full but the meal isn't heavy or greasy. Definetly coming back to try different combos! So thankful that San Antonio is finally jumping on the Poke train!! read more

Hula Poke falls into the flaw of 90% of commercial poke restaurants: nice veg blend of textures, too much sauce, too much sugar, and not enough focus on the core element: seasoned fish. I ordered the Samurai and Hawaiian Classic with no customization, just so I could review the signature blends of the restaurant. No rice, just a bit of lettuce so the recipes could stand alone. Hawaiian Classic: Tuna, cucumber, red onion, romaine, masago, pineapple, avocado with House Classic Sauce. The major downfall here is the "house classic sauce" which is a thick, gloppy, sweet, vaguely savory dressing. I was very confused, trying to detect what ingredients are actually in this. It tastes like your typical generic "asian" teriyaki sauce made with corn starch and maybe a hint of soy. You can see from my pictures how it covers the poke in a layer of gel. The pineapple doesn't taste very fresh or sweet, although I admit my detection for sweetness was probably thrown off by all the sauce. The ahi tuna tasted okay, but the flavor was masked by the sauce and how cold it was - the texture was fine but I couldn't really taste the fish even when eating it alone. The avocado was duly appreciated for bringing some richness. Samurai: Salmon, romaine, cucumber, carrot, red onion, mango, seaweed salad, Sriracha Aioli and Wasabi Aioli. This was very reminiscent of coleslaw, and I mean that in a good way. The romaine, cucumber, carrot, and onion provide a nice crunch - when dressed with the mayo based aiolis, definitely reminded me of coleslaw. The seaweed salad is too much - seaweed salad is mostly sugar and the flavor really dominates the mix. I could not taste the sriracha or wasabi in the aiolis, no heat or horseradish heat came through. The mango had an odd squidgy texture which felt like it was not very fresh and didn't contribute much flavor. The salmon tasted fresh enough but I couldn't really get the flavor between the mayo based dressing and again, how cold the fish was. To me, it makes less sense that for a fatty fish like salmon, you pair it with a fat based sauce like aioli. The flavors just mask. My recommendation to management is to replace either of the dressings in the Hawaiian classic or Samurai with ponzu. Now I haven't tasted their ponzu, but if it's actually soy + dashi + citrus, it would bring much needed balance and restraint to these recipes. If you can toss the fish with a bit of soy or ponzu before mixing with everything else, the fish can better absorb some actual seasoning. read more

This place is the BEST poke in town. My husband and I were left wanting more at another poke place in town, Rolling Fish. It honestly has turned me away from poke altogether because Rolling Fish was too unauthentic. Come to find out, Hula Poke and Rolling Fish have the same ownership! Hula is a smaller place with limited seating, but with the take away type of food they serve, I understand why. You have a choice of a poke bowl, pole salad, and a poke burrito. Then, may choose an option off their menu that is already pre-selected with protein and toppings or you can choose between 2 or 3 scoops of protein and any toppings you would like. You also have a choice of sushi rice or brown rice. I went with the 3 protein poke bowl with eel, ahi tuna, and salmon with sushi rice as the bed. I added kale, carrots, daikon, radish, avocado (which is an extra charge, as well as cream cheese), masago, seaweed salad, fresh jalapeño, nori, and wasabi aioli. The wasabi aioli was amazing- the best combo of wasabi and mayo. My biggest drag on Rolling Fish was that their sauces have too much mayo that make it gross and heavy. Hula Poke has amazing, flavorful sauces that add great layers of taste. The fish was very fresh and at first, I thought the scoops were pretty small, but it wasn't ended up being the perfect amount. It was all very tasty and high quality! I want to try their miso soup the next time I go. Their drink options are all bottled and they do have free water in a dispenser. I enjoyed their Japanese drink selection. We will for sure be back and try out their other options. This place is a great alternative for pricey, high end sushi. read more

They finally reopened! The same amazing taste! Shout out to their friendly employees, it's a great experience!

I was looking for something close to my office, not fast food, healthy choice, and it had to be quick as well since I had a meeting in 30 minutes. This is what popped up on my Yelp feed, so I figured why not? The parking is a little tight but I got lucky and found a spot close. If you have time, don't mind walking, there is plenty of spots further back. So don't let parking be a hindrance and not go. I've never ordered not have I ever had Poke before so I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I am always up for an adventure. The ladies working the counter were polite and willing to take their time trying to explain what everything was. This made it helpful for me because I just wasn't sure what everything was. I did the white rice pole bowl, two scoops of protein, the spicy salmon, and the spicy tuna, then there is a total of five stations to go through. Your toppings, veggies, sauce, and the BEST ONE your crunchy toppings! Yes, I love crunchy toppings, Here's the deal, it was awesome. I can't wait to go back. I might just go back today. read more

My first visit to hula poke was quite satisfying. I got the poke roll because I wanted to try something different, but I believe the bowl to be a better deal. I got salmon and shrimp in mine, and they let you add toppings to your liking. But be aware: they still have to roll it for you so you don't want to go overboard or your poke will be bursting out the seams and ends! I'll definitely return here for another visit and get a bowl. The atmosphere is really relaxed and inviting. read more

I grew up near the beach in Orange County, CA and have been to Hawaii many times so I knew I had to lower my expectations for poke in Texas. Coming here for the first time I was pleasantly surprised. They have a ton of toppings and proteins to choose from including chicken for those who don't like fish and tofu for vegetarians. I decided to go with a three scoop bowl with salmon, shrimp, and eel. The eel wasn't super great so I wouldn't recommend that, but the shrimp and salmon were pretty good. I do wish the cuts of salmon were a bit larger. Overall the fish here is 3/5, but the variety and quantity makes this place deserving of 4/5 stars. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well. Solid place to get your poke fix. read more

Im new to San antonio and was looking for a poke place to satisfy my craving. For the most part it was just like any other poke place, however they were out of brown rice when I was there. Not a big deal. Also, I wish they did have a spicy house sauce instead of just a spicy aioli. I enjoyed the wasabi aioli, it had a stronger wasabi taste than other places I've had. Other pros: bonito flake option Con: the crab salad seemed like just imitation crab pulled apart as opposed to the more creamy imitation crab mix I love. Overall, it was a good experience, I'll be back. read more

Hula - 2 scoop bowl with salmon and spicy salmon - Poke Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Service: oh my goodness the people who work here are so sweet. I haven't been to a poke place before and was a little unsure about what to do/make. It's a chipotle style "build a bowl". The man behind the counter explained how they work and suggested sauces and toppings for me. He was very patient and asked about what my taste preferences were. He took the time to help me make a great bowl. Excellent service. How it works: I got the 2 scoop poke bowl, but there are also sushi burritos and salads that you can build. I picked out spicy tuna and eel. You pick your toppings, sauce and crunchies next. The food: SO YUMMY!!! I love seafood so this was just perfect. The toppings tasted amazing. The sauces are delicious. Honestly, for $10, this is a BARGAIN. Masago, tuna, imitation crab salad, pickled radish, nori, veggies, eel and more! The location: it's right by North Star mall. A cute little complex with a parking lot. It has decent seating and again, it like chipotle more than a sit down restaurant. All in all, I will be back a LOT. The food is excellent and the price is a steal. read more

This is my first visit here. You have the option for 2 or 3 scoops of protein. They have Ahi Tune, Spicy Tuna , Salmon, Spicy Salmon, Tofu, Chicken, Eel, Shrimp Temura and Crab Sticks. They have a large selection of toppings, dressing and crunchy toppings. I ordered the Geisha Crunch with a 2nd protein of spicy salmon. I loved all the flavors the bowl provided. The shrimp tempura made the dish pop along with the Sriacha Aioli. I wasn't a fan of the spicy salmon though. The texture was too slimy for me. It has a great salmon taste, I wouldn't request it again. I will be coming back to try more poké bowls read more

Hula - Poke Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is my first time trying anything near authentic poke and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. The ingredients are super fresh, and the staff is super friendly and helpful when it comes to first timers. The fish tasted great and as mentioned before you could taste the freshness. I myself loaded the bowl with everything you see in my pic from seaweed salad to edamame. The only reason I'm handing out 4 stars is because of the small amount of fish given per scoop. Obviously this is simply subjective to my preference but even getting the 3 proteins I wish I could've had a little bit more in there to tie in the bowl really nicely. But all in all would recommend! Hope you guys are here to stay! read more

It's one of the first Poke joints I recall seeing. It's on par with the rest in town and found closer to my home which is just as good. The main difference is that this place mixes every thing including the sauces in prior to pouring it in the bowl where I've used to piling up the ingredients on top and finishing with the sauce. It was still good and this place is real cozy. Only 2 tables that can seat 4. The rest are a combo of bar seating and tall tables for 2 which you can make 3 if no one is using the other seats. read more

I've only been here twice but so far everything I've got tasted good. I always get the sushi burrito and I will say I am kinda a basic person when it comes to what add ins I do. Simply because I don't want a whole mess of flavors that I can't tell what is what. I usually get a three protein burrito (salmon, tuna, unagi) and add cucumber and masago. That's it. They always look at me like I'm crazy but I want the clean taste of fish, rice, and seaweed. I guess the simplicity of what I had in Japan has stuck with me. Other times I'll add in some picked daikon and jalapeños which is also super tasty. Sometimes the most simple things are the best tasting. read more

Vegetarian poke with a pokéstop. Who could ask for more? Along with the tofu, they have a variety of fishy animal protein and a pokégym next door at Thanks For Vaping. The vegetables are fresh, the people are friendly, and the A/C works. Poke is an excellent idea for healthier fast food. Looking at the clientele makes me think I should come here more often. Everyone looks like a marathon runner or rock climber just out of puberty. The least healthy things in the menu could compete with Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. This is a great place for a tasty and healthy meal. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for awhile now, my first visit unfortunately they were closed; my mistake by not checking the new hours of operation. New day, I decided to get it delivered since I was behind on my work. Ordered through Uber eats and unfortunately they didn't have all signature bowls I had saw online via their website but I didn't hesitate to still order. I decided to choose the Ninja bowl but I also went ahead and left a "note". Hoping they will see it if not the I would've been happy with the bowl I chosen. My note: "My first time trying you all, if you have any recommendations on favorite dishes, I'll take that instead. I'm not picky. Thank you!" AND they did not disappoint!!!! My order was delivered with a note. "Made the Geisha instead and added masago, wontons, shredded noir. Enjoy!" Like who is the sweetest person who did this? You are amazing and made my day my taking your time to read my note and your suggestion was perfect! I was leaning on the Geisha Crunch day's before, so thank you!!! I work in the food industry and I know how things can be during this time. The individual that took their time to read my note and make something little like this happen can go beyond customer service, beyond the experience to a long time returning customer! You guys got it going great! Be on the lookout for more orders from me and I'll be sure to spread the word! Bummed I didn't get a pic of the bowl, but I sure didn't fail to add it to my snap so here are so screenshots attached. read more

My husband and I have been frequenting this location for a while now, but my most recent visit left me feeling very disappointed. I received a text message with a birthday deal offer and decided to claim it this evening. The text said that it qualified me to receive a complimentary 2 scoop signature bowl. The menu posted in the restaurant does include the language "signature bowl" but it's in the middle of the board so one could assume it applies to the entire menu and not specifically to the pre-determined bowls on the far right of the board. When I went to pay for my food I showed the employee my text and she informs me because I chose the build your own bowl instead of a signature that it couldn't be honored. This may be clear in the printed menus but not in the menu posted in the restaurant. The price difference between a signature and a build-your-own-bowl is not that considerable so I couldn't understand why it was so difficult for the workers to honor it. Additionally, as my food was being made I asked for avocado (which I was prepared to pay extra for all along btw) and some of the scooped avocado didn't make it into the bowl and fell on the board. The worker then preceded to scrape the remnants off the board and place it in my bowl. I'm not usually extremely nit picky about stuff like this, but the bowls and various packaging items are being dragged across the board all day. This was definitely not the most sanitary move. It's safe to say that my husband and I will be taking our business elsewhere, and we'll definitely be spreading the word to our friends about the questionable customer service that does not seem to be very customer-centered. read more

Hula - Double protein poke bowl with Ito En green tea - Poke Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Been here about 5-6 times. What I love: great healthy options. In the world of fast-food and convenience, this is where I stop when I want something good for me. I have two bones of contention with Hula Poke. 1) Inconsistent amounts of food. I don't add lots of ingredients. I want about 5-6 things. What that means, I don't get as much for my money. It's not like they say, "let me add more of the ingredients you love to get you a proper meal." They just charge you the same amount as someone who packs everything on. So, if you have more straight forward tastes like I do, you get a smaller meal but pay full price. 2) This is my major contention...being asked to tip at the register. Come on. What am I tipping? This isn't a high end coffee shop. Chipotle and Salata have the exact same approach to serving food and they don't ask for tips. It feels greedy. It puts me off every time I come here. If they could solve those those issues, this could be a great place to frequent. read more

There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about Hula. My husband and I stopped in after seeing all of the rave reviews and we totally get the hype.

The best part of Hula, though, is if you live within 3 miles you can get it delivered. The delivery earned the 5th star for us after calling and getting food delivered in 22 minutes.
