I've tried a lot of poke spots in San Leandro, and Poke Kitchen has to be my favorite. They have a wide selection of proteins, toppings, sauces, etc. so I'm always able to customize my bowl exactly how I want it. The food is always fresh and delicious. Worth every penny. read more

Needed good and quick food after graduation ceremony. Poke bowls with spicy mayo and special house sauces were delicious and fish were very fresh. Thai Iced Tea - better and bigger than some Thai restaurants and Boba Bliss. You can taste the tea in this drink and next time I will consume it sooner because of its robust caffeine. Mixed Berry Smoothie - good and even better with salted cream. Poke Katsu - thin bread crust was nice and crunchy. Tiger roll - good if you like spicy tuna with a little kick to it. Alaska roll - simple but delicious. Generous portions of food so we had leftovers. read more

The food was very good! The signature poke bowl is definitely a winner! It's a very small shop with limited seating. I think they mainly cater to online for pick-up service. There were only two workers, so there was a wait if you order from the kiosk to dine in or order from the counter. It's best to order ahead. I would go back for the food! read more

Best Poke' place in the area. Fresh fish , healthy portions, fresh crispy vegetables. Incredible flavors in their food. They have sushi & other dishes as well. I believe it's ran by husband and wife which is always better to support your small business. It's a little place with seating. Pictures of examples so you see what you're ordering. As far as poke' there's a kiosk touch screen to order or I prefer the paper to mark off everything I want in my bowl. Simple as can be. It's off E14th very convenient plenty of parking. Prices are very fair. I been getting take out from here for years this review is long overdue. read more

Poke Kitchen - Specialty poke' bowl 4 types of fish avocado mango pineapple so good!!! - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

I got their large "signature" poke bowl, which came with fruit, avocado, and 4 scoops of fish. The fruit was delicious. The bowl was mostly rice, which had more flavor than the old and flavorless fish. Usually I can barely finish a large poke bowl, this one was so tiny that I left hungry and bought more food elsewhere. Their approach to quality was shown by the chopsticks, 2 rough skinny cheap splinters of wood barely longer than a plastic fork. read more

I ordered a signature poke bowl with 4 scoops of salmon + an extra scoop on the side through doordash. The portion sizes didn't really reflect 5 scoops unless they have extremely small scoops. I only added seaweed salad, crab salad, and cucumber as toppings. One of the few poke places I have been to that just throws the toppings together. The picture is how I got the poke bowl when I opened it. The flavor was okay at best and fish was just not as fresh. read more

Poke Kitchen - Signature Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

Some of the best poke I have had. Portions are great. Food is very fresh. Pricing is very fair at this fast casual eatery with both indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant is clean. Service is good. Parking shouldn't be an issue. read more

Quality/Quantity - Two poke bowls, see pictures. Both were good, single serving quantities. Tiger Roll. Alaska Roll. Atmosphere - Small local family run restaurant. But a fairly large parking lot. Not sure if there are other businesses that use this parking lot...? Many security cameras throughout the business and parking lot. Semi open kitchen. Bathroom in the back, you just have to ask. We did not use it. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. Service - Counter service. Or a self service kiosk. Mostly to-go customers, we were the only customers that ate here. As first time customers, it would have been nice to have more direction. We asked many questions on what their process and procedures were. Price - $55. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019. read more

I ordered a poke bowl and a Lion King. The food didn't take long at all. It was also very delicious. Most places would skimp on the protein, but not here. Shout out to the staff as well. They were very nice and attentive. read more

When you walk in you can order at the self serve kiosk or go up to the counter to order. The inside is small but had enough tables. They also have a parking lot where you can park so you don't have to find street parking when it's not busy. I really liked the sauce on the chicken fries. It was savory and spicy and had good flavor. The fries were not soggy at all but I wish there was a little more chicken. The regular poke bowl was so good. It was fresh and had good flavor! The wait was around 25 minutes for to-go. Would definitely come back!! Total price: $24.37 read more

Poke Kitchen - Regular Poke Bowl Chicken Fries - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

They have their own parking lot which is a huge plus. When you walk-in, you order from the touch screen. Service is meh... no one comes out to greet you or anything unless you're a DoorDash/Uber Eats order. I ordered the spicy chicken bento which comes with rice and salad and choice of sushi. I picked spicy tuna roll. I paid $13, which is very reasonable for all the food you get. The spicy chicken is delicious. It's not drenched in sauce like most places. It's just marinated and grilled with a nice char. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good too. Not dry or stringy like some places. Overall good value and I'll be coming back. read more

We found this place while searching poke in San Leandro. It was a weekday so very empty and definitely a hole in the wall. Right when we got in, no one was in the front, but we heard chatter in the kitchen. They said they would be right there. We saw some paper & pencil to fill in what we wanted so we did that. The prices are definitely cheaper than other poke places so I see the appeal. It took a little longer than I expected. We both got the poke sauce (spicy), a regular and signature bowl. For proteins, I got hamachi, spicy tuna & shrimp and the spicy crab as a base with brown rice and salad, Anyway, the sauce was way too salty and overwhelming, especially at the bottom. I think they went too heavy on the sauce to where you can't taste the fish. I was not impressed. I've had much better food & service elsewhere. I don't mind paying $5 extra for quality. read more

We've been passing by this place ever since they opened. The timing was just never quite right for us. We are definitely particular about our poke. There are only a couple of places on the mainland that we really enjoy getting poke from. There were other customers when we walked in close to 1pm on a Friday. The two employees that we saw looked like they were doing prep work to get ready for the dinner rush. We were greeted when we walked in, and we were directed to where the menu was posted. There are order sheets for those who plan on ordering poke bowls. Just place checkmarks next to whatever you want and hand it over when you're ready. They'll verify what you want, ring you up, take your money and then make your order. Service was friendly and all of our questions answered. Once we ordered, she paid and waited inside while I went outside to walk the dog. We didn't time it, but it seemed to take an extraordinary amount of time for our order to be ready. Once we got our orders, we took them home for lunch. California Rolls - 3 - By appearance only, this was a 5. However, once bit into it, the score dropped. Why? There was no seasoning on the rice. It was quite literally, seaweed, rice, crab, minimal mayo, and black sesame seeds. The seasoning mix for the rice usually consists of unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar, sea salt, and kombu (dried kelp). When my wife makes sushi rice, she uses a wooden bowl and sprinkles the seasoning liquid onto the rice while turning the rice and I'm standing there waving a fan to cool the hot rice. Yes, it is labor intensive, and I've replaced my labor efforts with an electric fan. Every brand of mayonnaise has its own distinctive flavor. Fans of Best Foods usually don't seem to care for Kraft. Kewpie, Japanese mayo is very different from American mayo. Her Signature Poke Bowl - 5 - She absolutely loved her bowl. All of her flavors were on point, and she really liked the ponzu sauce that she had chosen. My Signature Poke Bowl - 4 - I wasn't in love with my bowl. I found the crab mix and some of the fish to be too cold. For food safety reasons, refrigerated foods need to be kept below 40-degrees Fahrenheit. For maximum flavor, the fish should be a bit warmer, some say just below body temp, some say just below room temp. I did really like the fruit that came with the signature bowls, avocado, mango and pineapple (at no additional charge). Would I try them again? Yes, I would get another poke bowl there. Then I would force myself to wait a half hour before diving in so the fish could warm up a bit. On the California Roll, I'd probably pass. read more

Poke Kitchen - Baked Scallop Roll Crunchy California Roll Regular Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

3.5 stars rounded up It's a no frills sushi spot and it's relatively cheap so I'm not complaining. Rolls could be wrapped tighter cuz it does tend to fall apart when eating. The rolls are pretty big; one roll fills me up and I have leftovers for later. I usually order ahead and it's ready for pick up in 10-15 mins.

Best poke bowl I've ever had. I lived down the street and went there frequently for 2 years (2023-2025). I got many different combos of fish, toppings etc and all were perfect. I have tried all the sauces and there are no misses. The price is average for a sushi place, maybe $19 for one poke bowl. They have smoothies as well, which are just milk and flavoring but quite tasty if you want something sweet with your meal. The establishment itself is not much to look at, so I'd recommend take out. They have a electronic screen you can order on when you walk in but you can also just order with a traditional paper poke bowl form. There are 3 tables in the establishment, so you could eat in in a pinch. The service is just fine. They take your order and it comes out quick. They have weird hours and I think are closed one day of the work week (Tuesday?) And closed on Sundays as well. But, don't quote me on that! Just look at the hours before you go. read more

Got take out and the poke serving size overall is not as large as other places so I was disappointed. I got the house sauce with mayo and it was not super flavorful but was very mayo-y. I was also disappointed that the ginger was very scarce. Otherwise the other ingredients were standard and nothing special. read more

Cons: Place is a little out of the way. Pros: Food is delicious, the service is fast, and chill ambiance. What I loved the most was the fair prices for the amount of food you get. In a regular bowl you get THREE proteins, and up to 16 toppings!! The spicy options are actually spicy, and the extras are not overpriced. If you are looking for a Poke spot, this is it. My only regret is not getting a picture of my bowl before I ate it! read more

Yum! One of the best poke bowls I have had in a while. Ingredients were fresh, portion size was generous, and flavors were yummy. I got the signature bowl and customized it to what I like. read more

Poke Kitchen - Signature Poke Bowl: steamed rice, seaweed salad, spicy tuna, ahi tuna, hamachi, avocado, edamame, seaweed, cucumber, green onion, jalapeño - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

I love visiting this restaurant because of the convenient location, fair-priced sushi and poke, and how there's never anyone in line. I've been here multiple times usually getting the same rolls so it's always easy to decide on what to get. My go-to rolls have either been a Dragon Roll, Lion King Roll, or Crunchy California Roll. I ordered my usual Lion King Roll ($12), but today I decided to try a Baked Scallop Roll ($13) instead of my usual Dragon or Crunchy. Everything about these rolls was delicious and I loved every bite. What's convenient about this location is that every time I get rolls it's always to-go, so the packaging is nice for taking home. My only gripe that's extremely nit-picky is how the service can sometimes be slow. It's completely understandable though for this type of restaurant because every time I've been here it's only two workers and I can understand they want to put quality into every meal. Regardless, I'll still come here regularly whenever I want good sushi instantly without the trouble of ordering through a large restaurant. Highly recommended if you want to support small local delicious sushi shops! read more

I was extremely disappointed by this place unfortunately... This place is pretty close to me, so I wanted to give it a try. I've also been trying to eat healthier and change my diet a bit, so I figured this would be a good place to go in place of others in terms of dining out. I ordered a regular Poke Bowl - instead of rice, I ordered organic salad. I didn't realize it was going to be entirely jam packed with lettuce.. it really didn't leave any room for anything else. You're supposed to receive 3 scoops or protein. When I opened it, there was barely any fish in there! I was really disappointed. It was almost as if I got 3 half scoops or something. In addition to that, they barely put any crab in there. I ended up basically eating a miso salad. One thing that they did add a decent amount of in there was the miso dressing. There weren't much fried onion toppings either. So lame. My friend who ordered with me was not happy with this place either for a lot of the same reasons along with commenting that the fish did not taste fresh. I can attest that the fish tasted a lot more fishier than other poke places I've been to, which was off-putting.. A couple hours later, I start feeling like crap. Like really bad. My stomach was hurting and I felt like throwing up. I hadn't ingested anything prior or after that meal, so there's nothing else I could have questioned that reaction to. Anyway, it's unfortunate because I had high hopes for this place, but my experience was a really disappointing one. Don't think I'll care to try again, at least for their poke :\ can't speak on their sushi, but based on this initial food experience, my desire to try their other items is not really there. read more

Poke Kitchen - Barely any fish... - Poke Near Me - San Leandro, California

I had a sushi craving and looked up on Yelp for a new spot that was on my way home. Poke Kitchen came up and in all honesty, when I pulled up I was a bit put off because it's literally a tiny store in the middle of E. 14th but Yelp's reviews have rarely been wrong. I ordered a couple rolls, went home and was not disappointed!!! Fresh and delicious. read more

Day visited: Saturday Price range: $11-16 Parking: Small lot next to building Ordered: Regular sized bowl & Larger bowl size Description: When you walk in, you immediately feel welcome into a small, intimate space where the focus is on the food. Hand-made signage and custom solutions to keeping the door open for airflow(custom=twine string holding door cracked open) really give the feel that the details in the store, from the food to their work space, are well-thought out and intentional. We ordered two different sized bowls, the smaller being all salmon with the house sauce and ponzu sauce, with the bigger bowl being half and half salmon and tuna. The poke on both was equal parts refreshing and filling. The toppings for both bowls were generous (the avocado= A1), and the overall feeling after eating was satisfied and full. We would definitely come back here and recommend anyone and everyone to come here and try their menu! read more

Great find! Love finding locally owned businesses. Great customer service fresh poke and hand rolls made to order this trip. I tried salmon, skin and Unagi hand rolls and a custom poke bowl. They made the hand rolls perfect as I like to have the salmon, skin and Unagi on the crunchy side, the poke bowl was made to my specific direction with no rice or salad. I just like eating the poke like I used to when I lived in Hawaii. Will be back! read more

Only took off one star due to the fact that I wish there was some more toppings and protein choice, but other than that, it was great. This place made it into my top 3 poke places within the Bay Area so far! Came here near closing time and tried to rush so we wouldn't make the workers stay late, but the woman who took my order (who I assume is the owner or someone related?) was very patient with us. I asked what was in the squid salad and she offered me a sample to try! I wish it was just plain squid, but definitely was not expecting that offer. I ordered a simple bowl with just spicy crab salad, 3 scoops of salmon, and rice, with every single sauce except unagi and ponzu. I also asked for extra sauce on the side and they didn't forget it. The bowl itself was way bigger and filling than I expected. I was starving when I came in and ended up having a hard time finishing it. The fish tasted very fresh and the size of the cubes were cut perfectly. This is also one of the most affordable poke places I've been to, especially given how big the bowls are. Will definitely make an effort to come back here if I'm in the area. The woman who took our order was so sweet and the food exceeded my expectations. read more

3.5 stars. Wasn't fantastic but wasn't bad. Came in this evening sometime after 5:00 and no one was in the restaurant. Guy behind the counter was very nice. We placed our orders by filling out a couple of laminated cards and choosing what we wanted in our bowls; additionally, there are rice plates, other dishes, sushi, and appetizers available to choose from on the menu boards behind the counter. I went with the bowl with three scoops of fish and got all spicy tuna. I also got steamed rice, edamame, seaweed salad, avocado ($1.00 extra), cucumber, jalapeño, house sauce, ponzu sauce, miso sauce, and shiso furikake. I was disappointed that there was no tamago as an option. Overall the flavors were good and worked well together, but something about the topping options seemed a little lacking. There was a lot of food in my bowl and definitely a lot of fish, but I didn't like that the spicy tuna wasn't cut into chunks like the ahi tuna. It was, instead, three scoops of ground tuna spooned onto the top of the bowl. It was at least pretty spicy, but the form factor wasn't great and not super appealing. While I didn't have any issues with the freshness of my fish, my fiancé claimed his fish wasn't very fresh, which seems to be a complaint other reviewers have had here. I thought all of the sauces I chose were good, but also felt like there wasn't a lot of sauce in the bowl despite having ordered three. Just overall, my bowl was fine but not great and I wasn't happy to hear the fish wasn't super fresh in my fiancé's bowl. An ok meal, but not sure how I feel about coming back. Not writing it off or trying to claim it's terrible because it's not, but it's just alright. read more

Poke Kitchen is located on a main street, but the quieter part. There is a parking lot here off to the side with plenty of parking. No service at all, no one really acknowledge you either. I ordered on the phone for to go, and they gave about 10 minutes estimate, so I gave them almost 15 minutes before walking in - they really did not start to make my order until a few minutes after I walked in the store. What is the point of ordering ahead on the phone then? As I was watching the employee make the order before mine, go do other stuff, then continue to make my sushi with the same gloves make me question how sanitary this place was. Unfortunately, I was hungry and felt bad to cancelled an order like that, I took the L. The salmon did not taste fresh at all, it tasted fishy and slimy, but I tried to mask the smell and taste by drenching my sushi in soy sauce. I feel like the sushi was very pricey for the quality and quantity as well. I ended up feeling and then getting sick not too long after. read more

Went to check out this place after seeing great reviews on Yelp. Pulled up and wasn't impressed by the exterior or neighborhood, and nothing too fancy inside. However, the woman who took our order and helped us was so sweet! They were very busy (I think a huge online order came in before we got there), so they were a little frazzled, but we still did not feel pressured or rushed. We looked at the menu and were shocked at the prices - they are very competitive. We ordered a spicy tuna and lion king roll and a seaweed salad. The flavors on these rolls were amazing! The spicy tuna had the perfect amount of spice! One of the best I've had in the area. We gobbled it up with no left overs and washed it down with a yummy thai iced tea. Will definitely return to this hole-in-the-wall spot when I'm back in the area... I'm looking forward to trying a poke bowl. read more

Small, mom and pop sushi and poke shop. Sushi was fresh, carefully prepared and just good. I like that they don't have a crazy long menu, so they focus on the quality of the rolls they offer. I took a star off because their miso soup was terrible, just flavorless and limp. It might not be important but to me, that's like such a basic and simple thing to do right that if you do wrong, there's just something off. I would change my review to 5 stars if I ordered it again and it was good. The restaurant has seating inside, but don't expect service. They really cater more for to-go orders, we saw a healthy stream of food delivery people. But we will def be back. read more

We called in takeout of course. We over ordered. We had the waffle fries, lion king roll, tempura roll and the rock n roll. It was ready with just a few minute delay. The waffle fries were really good except not enough beef and they put the fries in the clam shell first so when they put the sauce and beef on it only dressed the top layer. The portion size was super generous. So there was 3+ layers. The lion king was warm when we got it home. I wish they wrapped it with foil to keep it warmer. The rock and roll was good as was the tempura roll. We'll be back but cut the number of items. Friendly staff and well masked. read more
