    Food was tasty. Ambiance was simple take out store, no tables. Service was fast. Wished the extra toppings included had more choices.

    Poke nachos

    My go-to for poke nachos in this area. The wonton chips are crispy, toppings are loaded, and portion size is awesome. Definitely shareable and worth the $20 takeout price!

    I've been wanting to try Local Poke for a while because their menu has nachos, and I love poke nachos. Since I was in the area, I finally stopped by. I actually wanted something a little healthier that day and wasn't craving nachos, so I ordered a medium bowl instead. One of the main reasons I came here is because they offer marinated poke, which I really prefer. It reminds me of Hawaii. Most places around here just toss raw fish in sauce at the last minute, so they never taste as flavorful as a true marinade. Spots that serve marinated poke are hard to find, so this was a big win for me. For protein I got the marinated local ahi and the volcano ahi. Both were really good. The fish quality was solid and not dry or stringy like some other places. For my side I chose spicy crab and spicy tuna. It was interesting to see spicy tuna listed as a side since it is usually offered as a protein. Overall this was a delicious poke bowl and Local Poke is now one of my favorite spots in the East Bay. Aloha Fresh and Santos Market in San Jose are still at the top for me, but this place is definitely up there. The customer service was great and they even include a Yakult with your order which is a nice little bonus since it is a probiotic drink.

    I didn't know this place was here at all but it looks like it's been here awhile !!! We came here on sat to grab some lunch . I wasn't very hungry so we split a large bowl , they also have a poke nachos option or a sushi bake option which looked super yummy too . We got the large bowl which comes with your choice of 4 scoops of fish , toppings and sides. The fish was really fresh and the rice was hot and fresh as well . They were making a new batch of white sushi rice which would have taken another 15 min to be ready so we just went with the brown rice . Free yakult per person if you want ! Next time I want to come back and try the nachos . On a side note this plaza has changed a lot , the Trader Joe's that was here previously has been taken over by an Indian grocery store . There is also another indian restaurant in this same plaza as well . The stores here are starting to reflect the demographic change of this area more and more .

    We went to Local Poke to grab lunch. There are tables outside but no inside dining. The shop was empty when we arrived although it was lunch time. The server took our order and made our bowls. The food was fresh and tasty.

    I'm on my summer poke hype and I was traveling to the Bay Area and stopped by this place. The pics on yelp and the reviews made it look promising so I was like "sure why not". I get there and noticed alot of ppl sitting around waiting for food. Which was kind of weird because the person behind the counter wasn't really making anything. Weird but whatever. I proceed to order and the first thing that was kind of a bad experience was the glass wall between you and the server. It's pretty high. So it was hard for the person to hear us. It wasn't particularly noisy but I had to repeat myself at least 3 times per ingredient. Which after the 4th ingredient I was getting kind of annoyed. I'm a loud person. Not soft spoken at all. Oh well. What can you do. I get my food and it was just ok. I don't think I'll be back. I also found out all the people waiting were waiting for Sushi bakes. Which they didn't have on their main menu but there was a pic of it on the wall to the right and behind you if you are trying to order. I think I would've enjoyed that more.

    We were in the area and were looking for a good Poke restaurant to get our cravings satisfied! Local Poke had good reviews so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is fairly small and tucked away but easy to get to right off the highway. There is a decent amount of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Although it was windy, we decided to sit outside. The Poke was tasty and fresh. They offer a couple of different sizes; I opted for the large and it was filling! I enjoyed the fact they have a lot of options and offerings. You start at the right of the counter and move left as they make your bowl. The menu up top gives you step by step instructions on what and how much you are allowed to pick. Overall, good food and experience. Pricing was decent. I will be back if I'm ever in the area and in the mood for Poke!

    This was my second visit here. Apparently, I didn't write a review the first time. I wouldn't have come back if it hadn't been a positive experience, so there's that. Around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, there were two tables in use in front of the restaurant when we arrived. There was also a line of five guests ordering or waiting to order. Two employees were working the food prep line and at least two additional employees in the back. The ordering process is pretty straight forward like many other poke shops. You order your size, base, proteins, sides, mix-ins, sauces and then toppings. Then you pay and they hand you your order. Napkins, chopsticks and forks are on a small table in the dining room. She ordered a "standard" menu item: Medium Main - on brown rice, no changes to what was listed on the menu. I had: Large - on brown rice, 1 scoop of hamachi, 1 scoop of shrimp, 2 scoops of salmon (I originally wanted 2 scoops of hamachi but they didn't have enough, so he gave me 1 scoop and what was left in the pan). My sides were avocado and krab salad. I got corn and edamame as mix-ins, poke sauce and for toppings, mango. We both agreed that the fish was fresh and the food was delicious. Because of this, we would come back when in the area. Service was adequate with some minor hiccups. At one point, a young lady came from the back and started assembling my orders. Mid-point, one of the guys stepped in and took over and sent her back to the back. At another point, while assembling a customer's order, he stepped away to carry some food totes out to either a manager's or owner's vehicle. Nothing was said to the guest that was waiting for his order. I would consider this poor customer service from the employee as well as the manager/owner. If it was urgent for her to get the order to her car and she couldn't carry them herself, she should have moved her car to the backdoor and between her and the young lady, could have accomplished the task without interrupting the business flow.

    Came here while visiting a friend and really enjoyed it! We ordered through phone ahead because while my friend was picking me up from the train station, it was within an hour of their closing time. We both ordered the Sushi Bake with added avocado and some wonton chips with unagi sauce. It was absolutely delicious!!! And VERY filling. We both only got halfway thru our sushi bakes until we were already feeling full. The sushi bakes do come with a pack of seaweed also! The chips were also great. The inside had only a bit of sitting space but there is outdoor seating as well. There didn't seem to be a bathroom, so heads up! Overall, really enjoyed my sushi bake

    Kimchi and Wonton Chips were delicious
    Laura J.

    Poke was good, I like all the mixins and toppings that they offer. I got a medium with half brown rice half mixed greens, main (salmon avocado mixture), local (ahi tuna shoyu mixture), and hamachi. My sides were spicy crab salad and wonton chips. Plenty of food and fish tasted fine. Probably will try to get more plain fish next time so I can taste the fish flavor more. Service was a little off though... I walked in and it was sooo quiet: no music, no greeting, barely talking from taking orders. It wasn't the most welcoming I've felt walking into a food establishment. But the gentlemen were fast on top of making online orders.

    Large poke bowl with 4 poke selections over rice and greens with high quality toppings
    Alan G.

    First time trying Local Poke and overall, it was an excellent experience! Located in a strip mall near the freeway, it was easy to access and there was plenty of parking at the lunch hour. Definitely more of a to go place which was fine. I was warmly greeted and the written instructions were easy to follow, and the person helping answered any remaining questions about the ingredient options for building my poke bowl. There was a good range of seafood protein choices and went with a large bowl to try 4 different ones. All were good, but I think I liked the volcanic ahi and customized ponzu hamachi the best, while the shoyu ahi and spicy salmon or excellent as well. There were also plenty of good toppings, and they were very generous with the mix of both rice and salad greens. I also appreciated the chance to have three different types of tobiko on top. Overall, a tasty and filling poke bowl and I look forward to coming back again soon!

    I was starving and their poke saved me. Also I was able to eat half and feel pretty full and saved the second portion for later. It was so worth and so yummy! The service was quick and efficient. They were great!

    Poke!

    I was in the mood for a poke bowl and trying to find somewhere close to not have to deal with traffic. This place came up on the map and so I thought I'd give it a try. Google was very confused about where to find it in the little strip mall but after that adventure I was pleasantly surprised. I got my poke bowl to go, the place is pretty tiny so it's not really designed to be much of a sit down location. The selection of fish was great and it was all amazingly fresh. The counter staff were very helpful and my bowl was prepared quickly. I have to say for the price it was definitely a good amount of very fresh fish with lots of toppings. If you happen to be in the area and are looking for poke it's worth a stop in!

Decided to go here the first time because we found out they have zucchini noodles available as a base option. Prime Poke is located within downtown Pleasanton. It's a very welcoming vibe here especially where they are located. They are also within a cute area where 3 small businesses are and have available outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Food options are great. I had the 3 Protein Poke: All Salmon with Zucchini Noodles and Mixed Greens / Crab salad / Prime Poke Sauce Mild / House Aioli / Lime Ponzu / Sweet Onions / Green Onions / Carrots / Cucumbers / Seaweed Salad / Ginger / Fried Onions / Tempura Flakes / Roasted Seaweed My poke is always delicious and the salmon is super fresh. My hubby ordered the UnagiDon today with Brown Rice and Unagi Sauce on the side. He loved it.. he said it was cooked perfectly and not too sweet. Frank, Debbie and the young man here are so friendly as well as very attentive. We've had only a great experience here on both visits. We live about 40min but come to this specific Poke restaurant for the fresh ingredients and the friendly staff. We'll be back again next week.

We both chose salmon and tuna. I chose all the mix ins, wasabi shoyu & lime ponzu sauces, and topped it all off with furikake. It was like chef's kiss. The passion fruit tea tasted really good and was refreshing as well. So glad we discovered this gem, will definitely be returning customers whenever in the area again.

The lady that took our order was nice but was very soft spoken when I asked questions. It was my first visit so I had to ask what the size difference was for the fries. We ended up getting 2 medium fries regular and Osaka, and a lion king pocket sushi. Inside they are a bit small setting with mainly tall table high chairs. I was unable to sit those type of seating and their lower table was in the entrance way but had chairs that said unavailable because it was broken. It was a big full inside so we sat outside out front where a few lower seats are available. I had no clue when our order was ready but luckily after it had been awhile, new customers came and when they opened the door I heard them call my name. Food was delicious. The Osaka fries were interesting but very fishy I would say. I probably won't order it again or maybe if I was sharing it. They have fountain drinks but I didn't see a meal deal so we didn't get a drink. Tons of parking near other businesses and the 2nd Chick-fil-A on the street while the other is closer to the freeway.

We had it Sunday at the farmers market and again Thursday at the farmers market; it was that good! It's simple, not overdone. Which is perfect. Fresh ahi, sesame, avocado, onion, sauce. Over rice, or your choice of base. It's a little pricey but it is 100% worth it. When comparing to other poke places around, it's a little higher but the quality smacks those in the face, so it makes sense. The fish is so fresh tasting, melts in your mouth. Highly, highly recommend. So nice to have a nice light, refreshing food truck option in lieu of all the fried stuff. Plus, the guy who runs the truck is so friendly. So nice. Reminds me so much of being in Hawaii and getting that ohana treatment. The truck looks clean and well taken care of which makes me feel good about the cleanliness standards he holds. You won't be disappointed; check it out!

You also have to pay more just to get rice with your fish (if ordering a "poke boat") which feels like a rip off in my opinion. Ahi tuna ($14 for 1/2 lb) itself is solid and good quality for what it is in this area. The sauce is described as a sesame soy sauce with spicy mayo. It's on the sweeter with some savoriness, light on the sesame, and not so much salty. I do like the flavors, but the poke isn't marinated long enough for them to seep through the whole fish chunks. Has a very slight kick from the chili flakes.
