I'm born and raised in Hawaii and I love poke. Make Fish is the only poke I've ate in California that's Hawaiian style, authentic, and fresh. Grab and go sushi, musubis, and snacks too. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the vibe feels like home. My family and I will be regulars whenever visiting Sacramento. 11/10 stars. read more

Great sushi, poke and salads. Extremely fresh and delicious. Excellent customer service

I've heard a lot about Make Fish since it's blown up on social media recently, and as it turns out, it's actually a business that took a break and came back stronger, which I have to commend. I've never been to Hawaii, but this is what I imagine authentic Hawaiian poke to be like, minus some of the mix-ins. The interior is nice, clean, and modern, with a deli-style counter full of pans of marinated fish. Absolutely gorgeous sight. They also have fridges off to the side stocked with premade sushi, various deli items like squid salad and jellyfish salad, as well as Hawaiian beverages. Very enticing from the moment you walk in. I ordered a small poke bowl and a drink for about $23 after tax. Pretty steep for a small size, and it was indeed a small size. I'd probably go with the large next time. It is pricey, but unlike a lot of poke places around Sac, this actually feels very premium. The mix-ins are simpler than other places, but they taste fresher. The sushi rice was the perfect texture, and the seaweed salad, cucumbers, and serranos add that crisp freshness and balance of flavors. The Hawaiian ahi, which was the flavor I ordered, was superb. Bar none the best poke I've had in Sacramento, and honestly anywhere, granted I've never had poke in Hawaii. Big chunks of fish with the cleanest flavor. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The marinade was the perfect balance of sweet and umami from the sauce and onions, while the macadamia nuts added a rich, fatty depth. Exceptional. I'm not sure I can go back to my usual poke spots anymore. Worth every penny. read more

Came on a weekday, fairly easy parking. Spent $23.50 for two (2) protein poke nachos that were ACTUALLY worth the money which was insane! They do NOT skimp on the portions here. The fish is fairly fresh, one of the samples I tried did have a fishy taste though (california salmon), and I wish all of the fish were cut a little smaller, BUT for the quantity and the price point I'm most definitely coming back. Not to mention the grab and go utensils, napkins, soy sauce, wasabi AND ginger make this an all around really great spot. You can find parking around the area for the first two hours free. The poke nachos are a GREAT bang for your buck. I got spicy salmon and spicy ahi, and the wonton chips were super crunchy and crispy. The avocado was fresh and they gave a huge amount of tobiko, cucumber, and crab salad. I wish they gave more red onion but I was genuinely a happy camper, I can't wait to come back! Service was excellent. New favorite poke spot in Sacramento. read more

I heard Make Fish was having a grand opening and I decided to stop by bright and early to try their sushi burritos! The line out the door was insanely long and everyone seemed so excited to try some poke! When I first walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and immediately saw their fridge display with so many different flavors of poke in it. Their menu has great options and to the left of it was a fridge filled with many drinks. I ordered the Three Waves Burrito and it was superb! I was really craving some poke and it really hit the spot. I like how they included some fried tempura bits in it to give some crunch with every bite you take. The fish was fresh and was not fishy at all. The store itself is very clean and organized, however it's on the smaller side. They do offer seating outside for people to eat or hang out, but there is none inside. read more

Quality and fresh food at Make Fish is what makes me keep coming back! My family and I came here back in the days before they closed a few years ago. The new revamped restaurant now has a very large menu and lots of variety. There is no seating inside, only 4-5 tables outside so if you have a large group it might be challenging. So far I've tried the sushi burrito, pork belly fries and spam misubi's. They really pack the amount of fish/protein in the burritos. Caution their "spicy" is actually very spicy! Only complaint I have is that twice now I have ordered a spam and egg misubi and both times, I only received a spam misubi (no egg in it). read more

I have been here through all the iterations of Make Fish and Wrap N Roll, and I had high expectations of their return. Honestly, the sushi burrito didn't hit as hard as it used to. There wasn't as much rice which was good but the structure integrity was not there. There wasn't as much sauce as there used to be. It honestly tasted healthier but I think I preferred it the old way. The fish and tempura were great! I also ordered the poke and it comes with furikake dusted shrimp chips which were delicious! $8 for a solid snack/light lunch. The spam musubi was fine. The addition of egg and avocado were good but didn't warrant such a higher price. Overall, I'm glad I tried it but it has lost its luster for me. The staff are helpful and offer each person two samples of poke upon entry. There are some seating available inside and lots of nice outdoor patio seating. An upscale Californian style deli establishment. Cute fonts and decor! read more

Make Fish had their grand opening recently and I finally got to try their sushi burrito! It was very busy that day. I understand the hype now and all their poke on display looks so delicious and fresh! They have many drinks and snacks available for purchase as well. The staff is very friendly and the food came out fast! I tried the Three Waves sushi burrito and I loved how it has guacamole, veggies, and another yummy sauce in it. Near the register is where you can get utensils and sauce packets if needed. The interior of the store is a bit small, but that is normal because it is located in Midtown. Parking was difficult because it's in a popular area and many spots are taken. Luckily I found a pay for parking area with a meter. They have limited outdoor seating so it's first come first serve. read more

We had an amazing lunch here at the grand opening. We were 2 of the first 50 people so we enjoyed free sushi burritos with our purchases in addition to free tote bags. My grilled salmon burrito was fire! I'd never had a sushirrito and this 1st experience was memorable- there was a ton of different ingredients and each bite was flavorful and tasted fresh. They have a grab and go case and a display case full of items like seaweed salad in addition to their poke bowls, sushirrito and musubis. They have tables and chairs on their front patio and the restaurant is located on 18th and L St., in between Saigon Alley and Bober Tea. The service was awesome, with the gentleman in front of the store making sure we were informed of the grand opening promo deal and ensuring the line moved quickly. Thanks! read more

They're BAAAACK! They have some of the freshest poke with incredible portions so I had to go with friends during their soft opening. One friend has been, and one tried for the first time and I definitely converted her. You can try two poke as samples and they gave nice thick cubes' I sampled the chili garlic ahi and the spicy salmon- both actually spicy. I got a large poke bowl with sushi rice, Hawaiian Salmon, Salmon Bomb, cucumbers, seaweed salad, unagi drizzle, and spicy aioli for $23.50. Their fish is extremely fresh, just like I remember. Welcome back, Make Fish! We missed ya! read more

Finally got to try Make Fish market a week ago and can say I was quite impressed with the quality of the food. They have a nice little patio for you to sit in case you want to enjoy your food there. Unfortunately, that day it was cold and we took our food back home and were unable to take advantage of the said patio. The staff were very welcoming and helpful when it came to driving what to order. They have it all from poke bowls to the sushi burritos themselves. Both items we got were delicious and filling. I'd definitely recommend everyone come try them out with the weather changing days getting better. read more

Been seeing Make Fish everywhere lately, so I stopped by during their soft opening--worth the hype! No indoor seating, but the outdoor setup with umbrellas makes it a great grab and go patio spot, especially with warmer weather coming. Service was a highlight. Staff walked me through the menu and offered samples, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Ordered a small bowl with the salmon bomb (furikake & tobiko), sushi rice, cucumbers, serrano peppers, and seaweed salad. Small comes with one poke, large with two. Everything tasted fresh, especially the fish and rice. Not usually a big poke person, but this definitely changed my mind. Solid portions, quality ingredients, and a strong first impression, excited to see how they evolve past soft opening. read more

First time at this place and it's great! We sampled the poke and they all tasted fresh and authentic. We tried the small bowl, large bowl, pork belly fries, and spam & egg musubi. Everything tasted amazing. All 5/5! Parking sucks but you can't ask for much in midtown. Seating is outside only. No seats indoors. Service was great. They helped us and gave recommendation on the best selling poke. I'm definitely coming back to try the other items. read more

Make Fish makin' a comeback! I love that they were able to re-open at the same location of 19th/L St. The staff were extremely sweet, welcoming, and polite. He let me know which section had the 50% off deal (pre-packaged to go rolls) and also the Spam musubi special buy 2, get 1 free. They offer their signature sushi burritos and also fresh poke...the salmon (I think) just arrived from Hawaii that morning! Will try out those items at future visits. But last Sunday I was there for the half off grab and go. I saw a few trays of the unagi nigiri (bbq eel w/rice), 6 beautiful pieces for $13.50. I was about to grab 2, until the guy said the Spam musubi was on sale too. Boy...when I saw all the different musubis, my eyes got bigger. Spam with avocado, egg, bacon, and unagi. OMG. I decided on unagi, of course, and avocado and egg. For 3 big Spam musubis and 6 pieces of unagi nigiri, it was $17. I loved the Spam musubis, they were flavorful and filling. The unagi was good, but a bit slimy texture, I'm sure just from being refridgerated. Obviously, you can't beat fresh made sushi, but it was good for the price. We are so happy you made it back to the neighborhood! read more

Sushi burritos are BACK!!! I'm so happy that Make Fish is back in their original location after a long break. I missed these burritos! Seriously, I used to dream about them! The sushi burritos are my fave (imagine a burrito size sushi roll with tons of fresh fish, great flavor, and light on the rice. It's a serious protein punch!) They also have poke bowls, poke by the pound, snacks, drinks and even grab and go rolls. With plenty of patio seating to enjoy your food. Welcome back to Midtown Make Fish! read more

I have gone twice this week... so I feel like that says a lot. I'm so glad we have another place in town that has sushi burritos! And these are packed with flavor and protein. They have a huge selection of fresh fish flavors you can choose from for your bowl (if you want to make your own) and they even let you try em. I have so many things I want to try on the menu, will definitely be coming back so soon. Service is chill, very relaxed vibes in the space. Looks like they have also have a grab and go section in the future next to the drinks. A lil pricy but the quality and taste is worth it. Parking is a challenge here but it is what it is. For most places on this part of town you're going to either have to circle or fight for a spot regardless of time of day. read more

I'm so happy Make Fish is back! They're in the same location, which makes them easy to find. I used to visit their Midtown and Elk Grove spots often before moving out here, so I was really sad when they closed during COVID. It's great to see them open again. I stopped by during their soft opening and liked that they now offer different poke styles, similar to Foodieland. They also have pre-made rolls and other cold items ready to grab, which is convenient. If you're familiar with their menu, you'll be glad to know the pork belly fries and poke nachos are still on there. I ordered the nachos along with some à la carte poke: Wasabi Limu Ahi - 5/5 Spicy Salmon - 5/5 Chili Garlic Ahi - 5/5 The poke itself was refreshing and also came with a side of shrimp chips. The poke nachos didn't have all the toppings from what I remember, but they were still good. Prices have gone up a bit, but it feels fair given the quality and grade of the fish and also the market. I love supporting this business, so I'm really glad they've reopened and I'll be back again! read more

I'm really glad the pork belly fries are back. The parent company always seems to change this place for a new concept, but I'm so glad they brought back this one. Came in on a weekday afternoon! I was suprised to see the ready takeout items. The pork belly fries were really loaded for a decent price. I loved the bits of mango in it. I'll definitely come back for their sushi burritos to try next! read more

Ordered the Golden coast crab And Sunset tempura sushi burritos along with the Spam Egg Unagi & Avocado Musubi. The sushi burritos were super yummy and I definitely enjoyed that more than the musubi.

It is in downtown so parking is what it is lol. read more

Make Fish on L Street is exactly what Sacramento needed. Coming from the team behind Saigon Alley, I had high expectations, but I'll admit I was a little skeptical. Too many poke spots fall into the same trap: build-your-own bowls with low-quality frozen fish buried under heavy sauces. This is not that. The fish here is noticeably quality, clean, and well-prepared. While it may not be quite Hawaii-level, it's about as close as you're going to get in Sacramento. Easily the best poke in the county right now. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better even on a softer opening. The selection hits a great balance of high-quality fish, solid topping variety, and thoughtful extras like maki and musubi that round out the menu without feeling like an afterthought. What stood out most is that this place clearly isn't just another quick cash grab in a high foot-traffic area. There's intention here. From the ingredients to the menu to the overall vibe, you can tell they actually care about what they're building. Bonus points for the outdoor seating it makes it an easy go-to for something refreshing, filling, and low-key enjoyable. This is going to be a regular spot for me. 5/5. read more

Service was terrible. I was in line and ignored, they helped people behind me even though I stated that I was there first. Did not feel welcomed at all. Will NOT be coming back. Their musubi because they were loaded with the fillings. I got a few with egg, unagi, spam, & avocado. Very good combos and even ratios of everything. read more

I'm glad to have Make Fish back. They are probably the only place in the area that can make a decent sushi burrito. When we entered, we were greeted right away by the staff. They are very kind and helpful. The sushi burrito was my favorite thing. I thought it was a great medley of fish, fried shrimp, rice and fresh vegetables. Unfortunately my least favorite was the Gyudon. I felt like it was a little salty and instead of strips of beef, it was more like shredded beef. Although, the poke could never beat what you would get in Hawaii, they do a great job of having different varieties. I would love to come back and try other things like nigiris and more sushi burritos. read more

The best poke in Sacramento! Unfortunately, parking is not ideal, but what downtown area have the best parking? It's to be expected. The poke and pork belly fries from Make Poke makes it worth it though. Staff is nice, friendly, and helpful. You're allowed to taste up to two different flavors per person. They have a variety of sizes and options, which I appreciate. It's a to go spot, so other than the outdoor seating, there's no seat to even just sit and wait indoors for your food. This was our first time here and won't be our last. read more

I passed by yesterday and knew I had to come back to try it today! Their selection of fishes are ahi & salmon. The bomb ones are pretty saucy and flavorful just how I like it! You can do just fish, burrito, nachos, fries and so many other options but I got the large poke with mixed salad & all the complimentary toppings. Huge size and the amount of fish on it, I was satisfied. I wish they switched to spring mix because I'm pretty sure it's big pieces of kale.. gives it a dry after taste and not so fresh, takes away from all the flavor. Also my Serrano peppers were literally hidden under all the stuff so I couldn't see. My one bite was extremely spicy overall I think I found my new poke spot! Friendly staff. Quick and super clean! read more

Today my fiance and I were able to finally try poke here. Whats nice about this place is they let you sample up to two flavors. I tried the furikake bomb ahi and the salmon bomb- salmon bomb was easily my favorite! I ended up getting shrimp with it too when I ordered the large- the shrimp is amazing and really flavorful.I hope to come back for their to go sushi and a la carte items -i will say they are very pricey (even for poke) but staff are really nice and helpful. Spacing is unfortunately pretty limited and idk if they have restrooms -we came when it was cold but i think it will be a place to come back to during the summer for sure! read more

I've missed Make Fish. The revamp reminds me of getting poke in Hawaii with trays of poke that are covered in various sauces to pick from. I got hamachi with bomb sauce, a musubi, and pork belly fries. All were very yummy. The Hampshire with bomb sauce had a nice kick and was very flavorful. I usually find musubi to be too rice heavy, but the ratio here was great. The pork belly fries were also packed with flavor and delicious, I do with the fries were better though, I prefer crisper fries. Glad Make Fish is back. Right now there is only outdoor seating, but with the wonderful weather now, I am ok with that. read more

honestly was hoping for more because of how they were before the reopened back in 2014. nacho did not disappoint but prices are a bit steep. service was great and they let you try the different poke flavors. fish selection is between ahi tuna, one hamachi, salmon, and kimchi tako. I loved the salmon bomb. I would come here if wanting something that reminds me of Foodland poke. The person helping us was so sweet and kind. He also had great recommendations read more

So happy this place has opened up in midtown!! I went in for the first time today, the market is very clean and everyone was super kind and encouraged me to look around and come to them with any questions. I went for the pre-made sushi and they were almost sold out at 2pm!! I ended up grabbing a salmon avocado roll. Everything was really fresh, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Next time I'll have to get there early to try the aburi salmon nigiri, and the musubis looked pretty appetizing too!! read more

I came here for the 50% prepacked sushi Togo, and I left with so much goodies. I'm so excited make fish made a comeback because I was sad that they left during Covid. But now that I'm back in the office, they sure have a regular patron. This place is super cute aesthetic vibes. They have cute tables and umbrellas up front so you can sit and eat. The poke by far is the best that is comparable to actual Hawaii (foodland) type poke. They have sushi burritos that I can't wait to try. The staff were all friendly and getting trained when I came. I was patient with them, and they were patient with me as I ordered so many trays. I think I had like 9 trays, small poke, and two drinks. My total was only $67! That's a steal. Even for regular price, $13.50 for a 6 piece salmon nigiri is very decently priced. I will be back! read more

I recently tried Make Fish Poke & Sushi Burrito and had a great experience overall! I ordered the Chili Garlic Ahi, and it was honestly the star of the meal, super savory, flavorful, and really satisfying. Before ordering, they let you sample up to two poke flavors per person, which I really appreciated. It made it a lot easier to decide and showed they care about the customer experience. I also tried the seared salmon nigiri, which was delicious. The chili oil on top added a really nice kick and depth of flavor without overpowering the fish. The toppings were complimentary, and I kept mine simple with cucumber and sauces--the cucumber had a nice tang to it that I loved and felt really refreshing with the poke. The interior is modern and clean, giving it a trendy, welcoming vibe. The service matched that energy too, the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout. Another cool detail is that they offer a variety of prepackaged grab-and-go items like nigiri, musubi, sushi, and even gyudon, all looking fresh and convenient if you're in a rush. The only downside I'd mention is the price, poke here leans on the more expensive side. I paid about $17 for a small bowl with just one protein, so it definitely feels more like a treat-yourself kind of spot rather than an everyday option. Overall, really tasty food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. I'd come back again when I'm in the mood to splurge a little! read more

So good!! We came during the soft opening after seeing it on Instagram. This place totally hit the spot. The poke was super fresh and everything tasted amazing. You can really tell the quality is there. We got two large poke bowls with California salmon, wasabi ahi, spicy salmon, and Hawaiian style ahi, on top of wonton chips. Everything was super flavorful and fresh, and the bowls were packed. The wonton chips added the perfect crunch. We also got the spam musubi with egg, spam, unagi and avocado, and li hing mango, and honestly everything was a hit. The spam musubi was next level, and the li hing mango was such a good sweet and tangy treat at the end. The staff was really nice and the whole vibe was chill and easy.

I moved from San Diego two years ago and they had a lot of delicious poke shop. This is the first poke shop I've come across in Sac and they did not disappoint, DELICIOUS! I ordered the large poke bowl and it was pretty substantial. It reminded me of the ones from SD. The service was great and staff were friendly! Unfortunately a guest ahead of us waited 12 minutes for an order of a poke bowl with rice and avocado. This guest could have kindly asked for the status of her order but did not. The staff apologized for the wait and tried to rectify for the long wait by giving the guest a free order of wonton chips but she said no she didn't want them and open her bag for the staff to take them out. I applaud the staff for trying to do the right thing. They were fresh off the flyer, I would have gladly accepted them if she had offered them to me. We'll be back for sure! read more
