The food is great! The folks behind the counter are polite, patient & overall just cool people. The selection of proteins, sauces, extras, etc., is too legit, too legit to quit They will get a steady flow of business from me for as long as I'm in Bakersfield. I HIGHLY recommend anyone familiar with Hawaii, Samoa or parts of Okinawa check them out IMMEDIATELY! read more

This continues to be my favorite poke spot in town! The food is always fresh and tastes amazing! The employees answer any questions you may have about the sauces or topping options. Will always recommend this place! read more

I've been coming here for years, and it's still my favorite poke spot in Bakersfield. They offer a wide array of toppings, and the bowl is easily the best value for your money. I especially appreciate that they have raw cauliflower rice--it's a unique and thoughtful option for anyone looking for a vegan or low-carb alternative. The fish is always fresh, and the quality is consistently great. Friendly service and a kooky town mural on the wall make it an all-around perfect lunch spot. read more

The first time I came here the food was good but unfortunately my second trip the fish had a very fishy/not fresh taste to it. The toppings were good however. read more

I got this on uber eats so I won't be able to speak on the service or ambiance, but the poke itself was aight. The fish was pretty "fishy" and the other ingredients didn't taste that fresh either :/ It was a pretty disappointing meal unfortunately. I will not be coming back here. read more

Our favorite stop downtown. Great quality and quantity. The "build your own" bowl will not leave you wanting and the cup size is perfect for a lighter meal. Plenty of options to build a "killer" bowl of poke. Been here numerous times and always the same experience with good food, and clean and friendly service. Easy parking is icing on the cake. read more

Always fresh. So good on a hot day! This time I tried the pickled onions, didn't notice a flavor punch unfortunately. I am trying their brownie today for dessert. Fresh cilantro always delivers a flavor punch and I always finish my bowl with more sauce and crunchy toppings. My bowl contained: White rice Spicy tuna Seaweed salad Extra scoops of crab salad Cilantro Mango Pineapple Green onions Sauces- spicy Mayo, eel sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil Crunchy toppings- sesame seeds, garlic, onions, and tempura flakes Plus, if you get a bowl they do not limit the toppings you can add. The cup size, which is great for a light lunch or snack includes 5 toppings. Today, they had brownies. The brownie was so delicious. The top was cracked and the edge was crunchy! It was gooey and moist and chocolatey as a brownie should be. It tasted to me like it had brown sugar or brown buttered and maybe a hint of caramel. The best part is it was $1.50. By the way, their coconut cake is delicious too. Come check these guys out, you will not be disappointed! Enjoy! read more

This family-owned poke shop is serving up something truly special! Finding San Diego-quality poke this far inland feels like a miracle, and they nail it every time. The fish is fresh, the flavors are vibrant, and you can tell they pour their heart into every bowl. Joy's (owner) warmth and her sons' hustle create such a welcoming vibe--it's clear this is a family that loves what they do. This gem deserves all the love for bringing coastal-level poke to Bakersfield! Hands down, by a mile not even close - this is the best poke shop in town. read more

Killer Poke - Spicy ahi tuna bowl. - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

So fantastic!!!! The poke here is so good. The guys behind the counter were very friendly & kind. And the poke options offer something for everyone! There are signs that tell you what the choices are - and there are LOTS of options!! I was really impressed at how many cooked-meat options there are, which is really great for those who maybe aren't fans of raw fish (poke is deconstructed sushi). Lots of topping choices; many sauce options. You can definitely create a poke bowl to your liking here!! I love salmon and mixed greens as my base, and this poke bowl did not disappoint! The salmon was so yummy. The seaweed salad was nice. Lots of fruit (love the mango & pineapple!), veggies (so many to choose from), and sauce options. As I sat down and enjoyed my poke bowl, I looked around and noticed just how beautiful the ambience is. The decor is nice, and adds a great touch. Seating is plentiful. And there's a very relaxing outdoor seating area, too. Overall, I'm so impressed with this poke place. It may be my fav! read more

I came from out of town for a conference and had a need for poke that just had to be satiated. killer poke was the nearest location, so of course i had to go there. this place is definitely not the most traditional poke joint like the ones im used to in southern california and the fish was definitely not the freshest. however the customer service was great and they answered all the questions i had enthusiastically. :) tdlr: poke = mid, customer service = great. read more

Lived in LA all my life, had been trying to find a good sushi or poke spot now that I reside in the Central Valley. Killer Pome is truly KILLER! It was amazingly fresh and delicious. Even the fresh ginger strips tasted sweet. Usually wherever I go it's slightly bitter but even the house sauce (forgive me if I don't remember the name) is spicy and sweet but a good spicy! Honestly my family and I found our new favorite spot. We will definitely be back! read more

This place was an amazing find! After moving to Bakersfield, it was hard to find a good poke place, but now I don't need to look any further than here! Food was delicious, fish was fresh, toppings were on point and most importantly (for me) does not skimp on sauce. Also, the guys working here were great as well, very welcoming and super efficient. read more

Killer Poke - Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I'd been coming here on a frequent basis until I took a hiatus a couple months ago. Finally returned today since I had business in the area and boy, did I make the right call. I've been to other poke places in town and I will say that this place has the freshest, most plentiful bowls with mouth-watering sauces. Their salmon and tuna are always fresh that you can't even tell you're raw fish! The taste and texture are on point. I typically order a regular bowl (which comes out to be about $13) with half white rice and half spring mix, 3 scoops of fresh salmon and/or tuna, seaweed salad, edamame, green onions, masago, and cucumbers. Another thing that's awesome about this place is that they offer crabmeat (regular or spicy) as a topping, so you don't have to sacrifice a scoop of protein for it. Score! They offer so many sauces, as well, from mild to medium to hot. My favorites are eel, ponzu, aioli, sesame oil, spicy mayo, and Joy's sauces and all the crispy toppings. Also, they offer a loyalty rewards program. After the purchase of 10 Killer Poke bowls, you can receive a half-priced bowl. How awesome is that! Because I've racked up rewards from all my previous visits, I was able to get my bowl for a little over $6. I mean, who pays for fresh fish at that price?? You can't beat it! I know a lot of people around here are not enthusiastic about eating raw fish, but honestly, if you're willing to try new things, try Killer Poke first. I think it will ease your transition to the colorful side of eating! read more

Killer Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in town and the best Poke. I loved coming here before bariatric surgery and it's one of the few things I can still continue to eat since it's packed with protein. The cup is absolutely gigantic and over flowing if you add a base and more toppings - it's a steal at $10. The inside is clean and tidy. The staff is very wonderful, kind, friendly and very appreciative to have the business. read more

Zero expectation met with one of the rarest find in the valley, heck it literally stands even or better than some of the best poke places in LA. I had a chance to speak to the the family member of the owners and he's explained how they keep things in the family therefore ensuring quality and service we could find with only those that care. Nice quaint ambience with surfboards on display, even though there's no ocean for couple of hours away lol , I was just going with it, AC pumping some fresh cold beeeze, it was a perfect environment to try my new find on a scorching warm day. The bowl comes w 3 choices of. Protein, I went w ahi tuna, salmon and spicy tuna all sushi, and sauce oif his recommendation which was perfect, all kinds of toppings including masago. One adjective that I thought of was freshness, everything on the island looked clean and fresh, the guys were doing a fantastic job. As far as taste, gotta tell ya, you don't need to go over Gorman to find excellent poke bowl, it's right here in gold old Bakersfield fellas. Come and try , you'd be pleasantly surprised, really. read more

I tried Killer Poke a few months ago because it was down the street from where I work. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was very happy with the outcome of my experience. The ingredients they use are high quality. I really like the cut of the tuna, I'm very picky about the way tuna is cut. But it was consistent and the perfect bite size. The staff was very friendly, and gave good recommendations on what sauces they like to mix together. I had the joy sauce and spicy mayo. The portion to cost ratio is great! I was full for the rest of the day. There are lots of options available try this place out for great poke, and service. read more

BEST POKE IVE HAD! They give you huge portions and it's at a great price! I go atleast twice a week!

I can't tell what i like more, the ambiance, or the decor. The food is included in the rhyme as well, because this place aced all 3 in flavor and service. With just a cup serving, you get up to 5 toppings and mix of any base with 1 cup of protein that is more than filling for someone looking for high quality poke. This is a new favorite in my food lists. read more

I've been here twice and they DELIVER! Workers are always so welcoming and atmosphere is so chill. My go to is always a POKÉ bowl with 3 proteins. The fish is as fresh as it can be and all the fixings are usual like other POKÉ places in Bakersfield! What others don't have that Killer POKÉ has is the habanero masago! OH MY GOSHHHH ‍‍‍ Definitely a must place to go to if I'm craving a poké bowl (especially because it's a mile away from my work!) read more

Look...the food? Smackin'. The service? Faster than fast. However, they need to stop charging over $2 for avocado! If you shop at all, you know that avocados have gone down in price SIGNIFICANTLY and they are under $1 in most stores. Quit price-gauging the people. read more

Doesn't look like munch because it's kind of hidden in the corner but this place is absolutely tasty!! The customer service was on point and took the time to explain to me the process and thanked me for ordering with them today. Customer service goes along ways. Ordered regular size bow with all the toppings and a medium drink. Came out to around $20. The amount of fresh salmon and ahi tuna was worth every penny! Everything was fresh and rice was warm. Plus! Then the poke food combination just melted in my mouth which was another plus! Wow!! Must try if you haven't already!! read more

Killer Poke - Spicy Tune, ahi tuna and smoked salmon Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Poke here is so fresh and so clean!!! It's a cute little spot and the food looks good and it's taste even better! I walked in and had no clue how to order so I was repeating everything my sister was asking for and finally I asked for a little of everything and the guy said, I'll hook you up!" He really did hook it up! The colors on the bowl were beautiful and it was super packed with food and I was so hungry! So I was super excited! I bit into the first bite and all the flavors bursted in my mouth!! I could taste the tuna,all the veggies, a little spicy bite bits, and their mayo. I was so happy with my bowl!! I couldn't put it down and finished it before my show Southern Charm was over; which is rare because I love provide commentary, but I was so into my food I had to focus on my food and enjoy every bite read more

Not the poke I'm used to. I got more toppings than protein. The salmon was mush, and the tuna was in pieces not cubed. 2 star for the convenience of ordering online. You really can't get fresh fish around here, but the quality of "raw fish" here was not great at all. read more
