It was my first time here and also first time ordering a poke bowl I have seen this establishment several times as it is near my home. I decided to try this spot. There is a private parking lot so parking is easy. I walked in, I was the only customer. I did explain it was my first time there and my first poke bowl experience I did my research so I knew what I wanted and what I didn't want lol My poke bowl was so good. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. Only problem was communication and I guess these masks we need to wear. The lady making my bowl was fast and efficient but hard to hear and almost low key impatient with me. Again I did say its my first time here I'll for sure try this place again as my bowl was very good I know now what to expect read more

You've got to try the best poke and sushi around! I really recommend stopping by here--always great service and super tasty food. It's definitely a must-visit! A real hidden gem! 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

I'm a fan of Poke Kitchen!! Great food, great prices, and super friendly service!! Their sushi is very good, as are the bowls!! It's a very small place, but they do have a nice sized parking lot next to it. I wish they had hot tea here, but it seems it's more of a take out place. One of my new go to sushi/poke spots!! read more

OMGOOODNESS, Delicious food! I got a poke bowl and let me tell you! I enjoyed every single bite to the end. The bowl was so packed, it was a lot more than I even expected. The price is definitely worth it and looking at the menu makes me want to go back because those prices were definitely calling my name. Service was so fast and she did a really good job with our bowls, just look how delicious they came out! Will definitely be coming back to try everything else. read more

Customer service here is top notch. Here on a Monday after work around 6pm and no one is inside except for me. Not sure how they can get more foot traffic as they have a nice place here and I wouldn't want it to close down. Their prices are also extraordinary. I could eat here every day. It's great that they don't have much traffic but at the same time it's not since that's less business for them. At the same time, even though I'm the only person here, I've been waiting for quite awhile. They're not slow at all, it's just that they're a staff of two people and I ordered 3 rolls and a poke bowl and they make them with care and don't rush things which is nice. I think if this place had more foot traffic (maybe they're busier during lunch?) they'd have more success. I truly hope they get more business and that this review helps them get more business because it's truly a gem. read more

I ordered a Lion King Roll and Crunchy California Roll to go from here and they did not disappoint. The order did take quite some time to be prepared but it was definitely worth the wait. It was so fresh, tasty and crunchy! I wish I had ordered more. I will definitely be back. It is a pretty small place where you would pretty much just be walking up and ordering, not dining in, so I'll pretty much have to make my way over when I am just going through the area rather then taking a trip over here specifically to eat but I'll be back for sure. read more

Hubby and I decided that we wanted to get sushi, as it's been a while since we've had it. I saw this place on the new and hot location near me and had bookmarked it. After doing a bit of shopping, I called in to place an order for pick up before they closed after lunch. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us with smiles and I told them that I was there to pick up a phone order, he told us that it'll be another 10-15 mins. I was happy that I was able to watch them make our rolls. We waited as our rolls was being made and once it was done we headed home. I have to say that the rolls were really delicious and very affordable. They did not skimp on the pickle ginger. But I do have to say that there was too much wasabi, I think I may need to tell them not to put it in next time. We really enjoyed the rolls and we had leftover of the Lion King and it tasted amazing still a few hours later when we finished it. We will be back! The only concern that hubby had was the tiny bones in the eel. He threw him off. Other than that, it was amazing! read more

My boyfriend and I found this place randomly when we were going for a walk around the neighborhood. They had really affordable prices so we decided to try their poke. They have little laminated ordering sheets with the poke options and dry erase markers which you use to indicate what protein and toppings you want on your poke bowl. Once you're done filling out the sheet, you give it to the cashier and you pay the total. We were there on a Friday night and they were busy so it took a while to get our food - maybe 20 minutes? It was worth the wait though, the poke was so good! The salmon and tuna were really fresh and they gave a really big portion of food. 2 weeks later I was craving sushi so I decided to come back to Poke Kitchen. This time, I ordered sushi through yelp (grubhub) to avoid waiting at the restaurant. I paid through the yelp app with Apple Pay and once the order was confirmed it showed a progress bar of the order completion. Poke Kitchen had my order ready within ~30 minutes (as shown on the app). It was easy to pick up since they have a parking lot beside their restaurant so you don't have to look for street parking. I got the Crunchy California Roll (6.95) and Alaska Roll (5.95) and they matched the quality of the poke, I was soooo satisfied. I will definitely become a regular here! read more

I've gotten takeout from Poke Kitchen 3 times and while the food is okay, I can't get over the owner constantly yelling at her employees and son. I don't think they knew I speak Cantonese because as soon as my order was ready, everyone was nice again, thanking me for waiting and communicating to me in English only. I'll be getting my poke from an establishment that treats workers better moving forward. read more

I loved this place! My friend Dee took me here around 7pm the other night night since we were in the neighborhood and craving poke. Customer service was great and attentive. We filled out an order form by circling our items on laminated paper. I was surprised to see sushi and other items on the menu. I ordered a regular poke bowl which was $10! When I get poke at other places, they are usually about $13-$14 for the same amount I had here! I added the following: spicy tuna, salmon, tofu, avocado ($1 extra), seaweed, edamame, ponzu sauce, sesame seeds. The fish was surprisingly fresh, and the spicy tuna had quite a kick to it! I was super full and satisfied at the end of everything. I was impressed by the poke bowl, so I will definitely have to come back for another and try their sushi rolls as well. Highly recommend if you are in San Leandro! read more

They pack you bowl to the brim! Haven't had poke in San Leandro for a while and decided to try this place out. You can pick your base rice or salad or both, and choose between the signature bowl 3x fish or larger size 4x fish. I got the hamachi, salmon, and albacore on white rice. Then there are lots of toppings to choose from thst I haven't seen anywhere else's I really like shiso, so the shiso furikake is the way to go. Overall I would go here again. read more

3.5+ stars. Decided to try some place new and ordered delivery from Poke Kitchen. We tried their Chicken Teriyaki Combo with CA Roll, Chicken Katsu Combo with Gyoza, and Dragon Roll. Overall, the portions were nice for the price and I liked that they gave you a full portion of the CA Roll and Gyoza rather than just a few pieces. Flavor wise, the food was good and tasted as expected, but nothing out of the ordinary. Delivery was quick and on time. I did like that the sauces for both main dishes came on the side to avoid getting all over the place. We tried the Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki without the sauces and the meat was cooked well, not overly salty, but the sauces were needed. The Dragon Roll was tasty with fresh avocado and eel, but I would have preferred the tempura shrimp cooked just a few seconds longer. But that's just me! read more

I've ordered here via Doordash a couple times since COVID19, and this place is awesome for their prices! Super fast service and food is on point. Good sized portions. Definitely the best quick and CHEAP sushi/poke around the San Leandro/Oakland area, without sacrificing on quality. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you haven't yet. Poke Bowl - fully customizable with so many options and sauces, and can vouch that their fish is FRESH. Chicken Katsu - cheapest deal I could find near me and quality was great as well. Lion King Roll - also cheapest deal I could find near me and it arrived warm and yummy. their proportions of filling to rice ratio is just right. read more

I really like this place; the imitation, "Decorative seaweed....", is novel, the sushi is affordable, and good quality; and I've enjoyed many recollections of sushi with good friends, just by ordering from this restaurant; I've ordered California rolls, Alaska rolls, and the spicy tuna roll; and I can also recommend, the tempura version, "Crunchy California roll." Both their Dragon roll, and the Lion King roll, were at least; impressive, and I personally found them excellent. read more

I always come here to get their bento box, I get the spect chicken with California roll combination. Food is delicious, fulfilling, and affordable! read more

I usually love this place but the last few time we got poke bowls the fish was a little fishy. This is just been recently so I'm not sure if something changed. I'll try it again but last time read more

I ordered my poke bowl online for a future time and it was ready when I arrived. The poke was fresh and delicious. The only thing I didn't like was a great deal amount of sauce. It was swimming in sauce, but I am not a person who likes a lot of dressing on my food. So you might like it. Next time I will request sauce on the side. read more

Tried out the Godzilla roll today. It was still toasty and crunchy from deep frying. Unfortunately the roll was cooked a bit too long, the spicy tuna on the inside was cooked most of the way through. If the cook time was reduced it would be a fantastic roll. P.S. Takeout with Grubhub opens at least an hour after the shop opens. If you're looking to order earlier in the day you'll need to stop by or call in your order. read more

I know this place is called Poke Kitchen, but I wouldn't recommend their poke here. We've tried their poke bowls twice, while it was bad, you don't get that much fish in it. I'd stick to Hawaiian poke for my poke needs. What Poke Kitchen does really well are their simple rolls. After a few visits, we go here solely for their spicy tuna rolls, Alaskan rolls, and CA rolls. Their rice are consistently cooked well and they always do a great job on their rolls. Their rolls won't break the bank either. read more

Decent poke bowl place with a lot of sushi and appetizer options. Tiny place with a lot of parking- I was surprised how small it was but they a couple tables and it's cozy. Came in around dinner time and the place was empty. There were two people working the front. The lady who took my order was a little pushy about the options ("just put everything its all free!" "Sure you don't want corn?") but she was trying to be helpful. I got a regular poke bowl and the beef waffle fries. I did see the woman preparing my bowl push down the salad with her fingers which was a little unappetizing. Also i had asked for sriracha mayo just on top (hope it was just a little drizzle), and had saw the server write it down, and not mixed in but when i started eating it, and realized the sriracha mayo was mixed it and basically most of the bowl was drowned with that sauce. I didn't end up finishing it. The portion looked pretty generous, but felt like there was a lot of filler stuff and had a hard time finding the fish- which was chopped up small-ish. The beef waffle fries were pretty good- a little salty but the sweet pickled stuff they add on top balance it out well. The waffle fries were pretty crispy and good. The meat is chopped up in pretty small pieces, which I didn't really like. It was also a little pricey (5.95 for a small to-go box worth). I would try it again, though. :) Hopefully with less spicy mayo. read more

Just amazing customer service combined with great poke ingredients, love love love the fresh ingredients. I love that this place has both poke and sushi!!! I just saw that they have a 5lb sushi roll down in SD!

I'd probably give this 3.5 stars...prices are good and quality is decent. If you're craving sushi and want something quick, this'll satisfy you but it's nothing to write home about. Their poke bowls might be better, but I was craving sushi so I didn't get that this time...maybe next time! read more

Visited during the soft opening. There's plenty of parking so far. It was pretty empty when I came in and the area was super clean and organized. Overall it's what I expected from a poke place. I got a Poke Bowl (starts $10.50) for $12.50 after adding some extras, which is reasonably priced for Bay Area standards. They gave me great scoops of tuna and salmon. Everything was fresh and the staff was very nice. I'll come back for some of the rolls. 1 star for quality of food 1 star for quantity 1 star for cleanliness 1 star for staff attentiveness 1 star for wait time read more

I have been to a number of poke bowl places around the east bay, and Poke Kitchen is tied for first place for us (tied with Poke Koma in Alameda). Good prices, good toppings, incredibly fresh fish, and the portions are not skimpy. The staff are always busy, but they are nevertheless friendly. I've never felt like they weren't careful or didn't know what they were doing (not something I can say about the other poke places we've been to in San Leandro). I love that they also have rolls and other choices as well, and we've tried them and they are fine, but the poke bowls are what we always get in the end because they are delicious. read more

Quick service and reasonable prices, but I am sad to say that I was not a fan! After receiving a raving recommendation for Poke Kitchen, I was really excited to try their food. However, I did not enjoy the Lion King and Dragon rolls I ordered. The rice was too mushy for my liking, and the salmon of the LK was oddly chewy. Although the prices are one of the pros I can offer about this restaurant, I would have preferred to pay a bit more for better quality. Considering the awesome review I received from my friend, I think the meal I ordered may have been a fluke. I may give Poke Kitchen another chance someday..and hopefully, I can leave a better review afterward! read more

We are new at eating poke bowls but we are avid fan of sushi :) we tried their poke bowls for the first time and it was really delicious! I'm going back to take my husband. I'm hoping they don't change their pricing because they do have a really good quality veggies ..and fish is so fresh for the price you are paying ... we ate so fast ... I forgot to take a picture. read more

First time coming to Poke Kitchen. They ran out of rice but that was due to the big rush they had just moments earlier. Wasn't a big deal to wait long, very nice small interior with few tables. Friendly service. Brought me and my son some seaweed salad (very tasty) my son loved the salad alone so that kinda made up for the wait. My son is a picky eater when it comes to poke, but he devoured it without a peep. Except to say, it's good. We will be coming back again read more

I've always had wonderful service when ordering from Poke Kitchen. I usually prefer calling in to order but you can always order when you're there. The price and their roll size can't be beat plus it's great I get to support local business. They even have a small parking lot for guests to park as street parking in the area is tough. They offer a variety of dishes from poke bowls, rolls to appetizers. I'd definitely continue to support whenever craving for some sushi rolls. read more

Brought my family to try out this new restaurant. This place is small but cute and cozy. The food portions are HUGE, especially the sushi rolls and the Poke Bowls are actually super healthy and have a huge variety of add ons! I also love the Waffle fries with the beef bits that are reminiscent of carne asada fries, but the beef is so tasty due to its excellent marinade with a twist of Asian fusion! Love it! Also plenty of parking in the lot! And the lady staff member who is always there is trilingual, speaks English, Spanish and Chinese - super cool to chat with! :) read more

Dropped by just before the weekend. The service was good. They greeted us and was friendly from the start. The restaurant isn't very big. Just a few tables. The menu was simple enough. Very similar to other poke shops I have been to. I ordered the 3 fish poke bowl with pretty much everything. I was surprised at the size of the bowl. I also ordered the lion king roll and a chicken teriyaki plate. The roll was good. The chicken was good too. The star of the dinner however was the roll. Overall a solid 4 stars. read more

The spicy tuna rolls were good. The chicken katsu was not. no flavor. Lots of white rice

Small shop with great food. Good choices for my bowl and everything was fresh and well put together

Please consider I've only eaten here once and possibly missed the description on the online takeout menu but was pretty disappointed with the salmon poke bowl. Salmon was cooked and overall way to much mayo sauce. I also prefer my poke not warm and ingredients separate so I can mix together. The bowl lent to everything mixing together. The salmon was nicely seared and rice was tasty. read more

Five stars to fast service and portion of food. I ordered a poke bowl with 3 proteins. Ingredients are fresh, the shrimp and tuna are really good. Not saying that the salmon is bad, it's just not meeting my expectations. I also had avocado in my order, and they gave me a generous amount of it, thumbs up! I am a picky-eater and I usually stick with Oh Fish, but Oh Fish is too far away from work and delivery is quite expensive. Poke kitchen is just a five minute walk from my office so it does satisfy me when I'm craving for fresh fish. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for the longest. I always see it on my way home.. it's the cutest little restaurant. However the food quality is terrible. I paid for extra crab salad, and barely got the regular serving. The fish has a smell to it. The taste of the toppings doesn't taste fresh at all. I hate that I wasted my money on this, but now I know. Watermelon juice was the best! Really really good and refreshing read more
