Terri S.

We got a pretty affordable poke bowl here, and they even had a catch of the day: real snow crab! A regular sized bowl for $15.99 is honestly such a great price for a poke bowl with snow crab and salmon. The portions for the regular size was also good too. Workers were super nice, but it was a little hard to see the food through the window since the writing was blocking part of the view. Overall, I would go here again, it made a great lunch for our meal at the park!

Regular Bowl
Rachel L.

Lots of fresh veggies to choose from. The bowl was yummy, but I feel like the poke was more so on the bland side compared to other spots. The fish was nice and soft and decently fresh. Place itself was casual and clean, and the workers were nice and welcoming. I don't think this spot is anything special but not a bad option if you're craving a healthy bowl of poke.

Small bowl with salmon and tuna
Sierra G.

Very fresh and the service was efficient and friendly! The small bowl with two proteins was very filling and I enjoyed the Thai tea as well!

Poke Regular Bowl

Nice little poke place close to the Fillmore. Went here before a concert and got some poke bowls. They have a lot of options for toppings and sauces. Nice number of toppings even on the small bowls. I got mine with brown rice, salmon and tuna, the shoyu sauce, seaweed, omelette and some more toppings. Was a really satisfying bowl with some nice bites. Only complaint would be that they skimp a bit on the fish portions. Still, would definitely return here.

Super fresh, so delicious, and filling poke for a really reasonable price! The regular bowl is just under $15 which is a price I haven't seen for poke in a while. The salmon in particular was buttery soft, and the marinated salmon was extremely flavorful. I went a little too crazy on sauces -- if I came back to get a marinated protein option, I'd probably only pick 1-2 non-soy based ones. :') Service was speedy and thorough, and the restaurant itself is kept super clean.

Médium poke bowl

I have been coming to grab poke since they've opened and i must say, they are very stingy and greedy with the portion lately. They were almost closing and they still decided to put as little as possible in my bowl. The person helping me was rude as well. This is bummer because I've recommended this place to so many people but now i will not. I literally have three to four pieces of Hawaiian salmon portion of protein. This is disappointing.

A very cute poke spot, ther strawberry matcha was PERFECT!!! The fish chunks were pretty big and fresh. Customer service was amazing too!

Build Your Own Sushi Burrito

It's been so long since I had a sushi burrito and I throughly enjoyed eating this over getting my usual poke bowl. Fresh fish, great flavors, variety of toppings & seasonings, and service was quick. My boyfriend and I got 2 burritos mine (build your own) and his (salmon lover) they came out to around $37ish with tip, not too bad on pricing! wish the burritos were a tad bigger but besides that solid poke spot.

The food tastes fresh, the customer service is great, and the ambience is perfect. I came here visiting from central Cali and my kids got hungry. This was closest to the painted ladies, so we decided to eat here. I love how fast and efficient the restaurant is. It's a great place for families with kids, just not that big.

We were hanging around Japantown but wanted to find something healthy ish to eat. I found this nearby so we decided to stop in for a late lunch. It wasn't all that busy. It's a small place, but it seemed like a lot of customers were getting takeout. My sister and I shared a poke bowl. Tuna, salmon, cucumber, edamame, seaweed, jalapeños, fried onions. It was filling! And it wasn't just all rice, which I'm used to getting. The ratio was perfect. The price was good too. It's pretty expensive to get poke if you live inland lol My friend got spam musubi. I tried some and it was delicious! They also have free water sitting out if you want some.

I made my own bowl w/ salmon for protein and everything except for a few items. They had a great selection.
Marsha W.

To the woman who assisted me today, 3/9 at 3:45pm: THANK YOU!!!! The absolute best customer service was provided and I was extremely thankful, especially since I was on a time crunch and literally had not ate anything all day. It was my first time here and I will definitely be returning. The woman was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. She even put saran wrapped my food to ensure that nothing spilled. Also the food itself was amazing. I purchased a larger bowl and added a scoop of real crab salad. Kimchi is not my favorite, but I'm so glad I gave it a try here because it was so good. The establishment overall was clean and in an okay location. I can't wait to come back!

We had recently visited Japan and were interested to see if we'd find some of our favorite products here and were happily surprised were there. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

Such a great Japanese convenience store…read more They have everything from fresh sushi, candy, seaweed, noodles, produce, and so much more.

Definitely a must stop when you're wanting some asian goodies.

They had a final closing party this past Saturday, and we knew we had to stop by for few last drinks and bites. It was low key kinda sad as we had to say goodbye to some of our favorites. Over the years (past decade or so now) we've gotten to know the staff and this spot has been a spot where we knew we'd get great service, good convos, and of course tasty wings, totchos, and $1 oysters on Thursdays. Shout out to Matt, Tracy, Jeremy, and their entire team for the amazing hospitality over the years. Paina closing is a reminder that it's important to not take your favorite restaurants/bars for granted because you never know when that final day will eventually come and when it does it comes way too fast. I hope the team reads this as I just want to say THANK YOU for everything and that you will be missed. The memories and moments I've gotten to enjoy here over the years won't be forgotten!

The other plus is that the folks working here are absolutely lovely and sweet. Even on busy night like wing Wednesday, they never fail to bring both efficiency and a smile. Speaking of wings, the house Pa'ina flavor was really tasty. Even un-sauced, they were tasty. You will be missed Pa'ina!

I wish they kept the spice level adjustment option but you can add spice at the table. It's very fairly priced for the city and for everything you get, noodles are a great thickness, egg is always cooked consistently, menma is always just soft enough. And the staff is attentive. If you go during the weekend, especially around dinner time, you could probably expect a wait, but I've come to go during week nights and it's never an issue. Parking in J-town is probably my biggest gripe but we'll deal. I've also been to the Hinodeya in Chinatown, Union Square, and in San Jose near Valley Fair.
