I've been craving Ahi Tuna for like 2 days straight & this place recently replaced the initial Poke one that was there & I must say it was absolutely amazing, The customer service was so good I wish I would have gotten the 2 young ladies names who helped us but if the owner or manager is reading this this is for the two women who helped my grandmother & I on Wednesday 05/01 at about 3:10pm - Truly so warm & kind, excellent customer service! Going forward I opted for a Medium bowl which is $16 without any extras (ex. mango/avocado) comes with base, 3 scoops of protein, & toppings. My build was steamed rice, spicy tuna (3x), edamame, cucumbers (tossed in sesame/soy mixture) green onions, seaweed salad, marinated mushrooms, fried onions, and wasabi. For me this bowl was perfect, I have a lot of sauces at home that I could have added if needed or the furikake but honestly everything was so fresh I felt like it didn't even need the extra sauce. The serving is INCREDIBLY large I have left overs for dinner! This is like the chipotle of Poke bowls but better. Deeply satisfied & can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely super tasty with nice variety of toppings. The team making the food was helpful and explained what different things were and gave some good recommendations regarding sauce combinations. The fish is fresh and the everything else is was crisp and delicious. Medium portion is huge so they are very generous with their scoops. We took out but there was plenty of table space. Parking is plentiful. The only reason I'm not 5 staring this place is due to all the extra fees. Every time I asked for something I heard "that's extra". Just build it into the pricing. Sorry it's my pet peeve. All in all a great experience. By all means try it out. I will be back. Let's support our local businesses! read more

Poke Go - Poke Salad with Spicy Tuna, Tuna, Shrimp and Scallop - Poke Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Poke Go has good portion sizes and lots of topping/sauce options. I ordered a medium ($16) which comes with 3 scoops of fish and it was huge. My boyfriend at first ordered a large, but was only given 2 scoops of fish. After bringing it up with the woman making the bowl, it seemed like there was some confusion or miscommunication about the size ordered, but she quickly fixed it and gave the appropriate amount of scoops (4). I only gave four stars because it's pricey, but most poke places are in that range so I can't complain to much considering the portions are generous. I like that it's located in a market with a boba place, dessert, and another restaurant. It's a good place to go if you have a group of people who want dining options. Good lunch place. I will be back again soon. read more

First time trying Poke Go and will definitely return. I'll start by saying that this was an all tofu bowl, so no fish. Nonetheless it was very tasty. LOTS of toppings and sauces. Service was fast and everyone was pretty friendly. While I enjoyed most of the toppings, I would probably skip the pickled cucumbers next time. Other than that, everything was pretty good. read more

Poke Go - Tofu poke - Poke Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Best poke in town! We ordered two poke bowls, our 4 protein selections: Hamachi, tuna, scallops, shrimp. Then selected several toppings on top of salad and rice. We went home and enjoyed our Poke dinner as if we were back in Hawaii! Very fresh and delicious! See ya next Thursday! read more

Came here for a quick lunch on Monday around noon. Even though there were 2 people ahead of me, it took forever! I think someone new was being trained, but it just took so long. I met up with some friends and they all got their foods and is starting to eat and I didn't even get to order yet. This review is more about the service than the food. I saw that there were menus for you to check off what you want in the poke bowl, so that's what I did. The new person helped me and she did things strangely. She started putting the fish on top of rice and the other person told her she should put it in the bowl (so they can mix the fish with the sauce chosen), so then she went and did that. She also doesn't know what the toppings are and didn't put much sauce on the poke, so it was pretty much no flavor. She just piled everything and hoped for the best. I know it's a fluke, but there are better ways to train someone. It was like it was the first one she ever made. I would think that you would want to train someone on the ingredients first. Did not enjoy the poke bowl and I waited a long time for it too. read more

Was craving poke and stumbled upon this gem! I ordered shrimp and salmon with unagi sauce, spicy Mayo, and sesame oil. It was soooo good! In my opinion, better than the poke stores nearby. I loved that they were generous with the portions, even the avocado. I thought the small was pretty filling-- I even had leftovers. I also liked that parking is plentiful, and that there are other little restaurants + t4 inside this marketplace for you to check out! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Poke Go - Small bowl - Poke Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I miss this place the food was really good and the ambiance from the other vendors made it feel comfortable. Hopefully they rebuild soon.

Delish, can't say enough about this place. It's so good and I like that it's so close to home!

I ordered 3 proteins: shrimp, salmon, and tuna, with the base of half spring mix and half white rice, topped with spicy mayo and unagi sauce. The total cost was $17 before tax, which is very reasonable compared to similar poke bowls elsewhere that can cost around $25. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the sauce is perfect! This restaurant offers the best poke I've ever had. I will definitely be returning! read more

Poke Go - Poke Near Me - Castro Valley, California

This is only for takeout. I'd never had poke before so had not tried the previous poke place that was in this location. I have had sushi/sashimi so I'm very familiar with raw seafood, and after reading about the eatery, I decided to try it. I'll say that I've been here three times already this month, so that tells you something. I've gotten the small size, which was enough. I told the counter person that I hadn't had poke before, so she walked me through it (it's also on the board, which I'd seen on their website, but I was a little unclear on a few things), and I got to see what certain items looked like. The first time I had the spring mix and kelp noodles. I switched to brown rice and kelp noodles instead of spring mix the second time since it seemed like the other items in it would mix better with the rice, having more body to it than lettuces. All three times I got unagi at the added cost. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was several pieces. I've tried several sauces and select most of the additional items. One time, probably the first, I somehow ended up with one of the "crab meat" selections. I don't care for crab out of shell in some creamy kind of sauce, and often sushi places use imitation crab which I like even less. I'm not sure which this was (which is a good thing; usually when it's imitation I can taste it). That probably happened because I still wear a mask in public places, and although I said what I wanted, I might have also pointed. The second and third times I used the Clover app, which if you order from their website is what comes up (I assume it's less expense for them than the others). I usually order online to avoid miscommunications, something I've been doing when ordering takeout from most restaurants since COVID, especially ethnic ones unless they know me well, since between the mask and possibly mispronouncing things, it's just more efficient. I can also add notes like "no utensils needed". Restaurants are supposed to ask now, to avoid just having plastic utensils thrown out because they're not needed, but often they don't. A plus is they don't use plastic containers for the poke. Thank you for that! Those black takeout containers and some of the other plastics are not recyclable and I hate waste. There are only so many of those that you can reuse. Some people laugh at that, not wanting plastic--well there are probably microplastics in your body. read more

Major step down in quality from the Pokeatery that used to operate in this place. Ordered ahi tuna with mix ins and very disappointed. Portion - still good. You will be full. Meet quality - tuna did not taste like tuna, at all. Sauce - spicy poke not spicy, too sweet and too thick Sides/Mix ins - good variety, but only one tiny scoop of crab salad? Service - meh, tried to overcharge me for two items I did not order, nor they were inside the box. Could be an honest mistake. TLDR I didn't realize until I saw to my card statement, that this place is no longer a Pokeatery but a Poke Go, owned by ZI & LIN LLC. Disappointed with quality. Not sure if I want to try them on the weekend again, when hopefully products are more fresh, but not sure I will have it in me. I can live with no longer getting two scoops of crab salad, but having subpar quality tuna (tasted like some substitute and not tuna), rice that's overwatered and a "spicy poke" sauce that is more sweet than spicy is just something I cannot cope with. If it wasn't for jalapeños, I would never guess the sauce was a spicy one. It tased more like a BBQ sauce mixed with soy sauce - too thick and too sweet (yuk). This was my first time ever not finishing a poke. I never expect to have the same quality you get from places in Hawaii for example, but this was just not good. $16 pretty much down the trash. read more

fav poke place & nice indoor place to sit in while you eat. lots of options for the fish and they don't charge extra for crab salad

Very good bowl, very fresh fish. Nice variety of toppings. Service is prompt. Thank you! We will be back!

Fresh ingredients, generous portions and friendly services makes this a great local business to support.

So nice to have this new poke place in Castro Valley! Delicious and fresh! Will coming back again.

Really amazing poke food- not quite the same variety as poke go Lafayette, not as much crab salad and other choices, but it's a good start! And if they can get their online ordering up and running and make the options identical to the one in Lafayette, I think they will be a great success. read more
