High yield poke This cute little poke shop has fresh fish at a good price. The large runs about $19 with 4 scoops of protein. Their veggie selection is great. Ask for the sauce on the side so you can titrate. The bowl ended up being a pretty big portion - great value PSA: you can get a tea drink for $1 extra with a poke bowl

Medium Poke Bowl

The poke here was so fresh and the restaurant was cute and clean! I wish they had some more flavored poke, but the spicy tuna and salmon were still good! I also appreciated that you can add an unlimited number of toppings and up to 3 sauces. Prices are fair and I would 100% come back!

Came here on a Tuesday night and the place was relaxed but never without customers. They have an interactive touchscreen for taking your order, which allows you to do your thinking in front of clearly labeled pictures on a screen instead of in front of a person waiting for you to make up your mind when ordering down the line. The seating area is self serve with cute padded chairs and wallpaper, which is honestly my favorite kind of casual but vibey dining setup. Food was fresh, delicious, and filling. We didn't realize it at the time, but they also have an extensive menu besides poke (don, curry, small apps, sushi burritos, and rolls), so I would come back to try those too!

Large Beef Don - $14.18 after tax

Came here with a few coworkers for lunch. We walked, but there is a public parking lot nearby and street parking is also available. You can either order via the kiosk or at the register. I ordered the large beef don ($14.18) after tax. It was fine - it's kinda hard to mess up beef over rice. I'll try the poke bowl next time (and will update my review accordingly). The price is right for Palo Alto. We dined-in and sat at the larger of the 2 wooden tables. Complimentary lemon water is self-serve.

Wooow very delicious  thank you

Woahhh I was surprised and excited to see they opened a second location!! The line for ikea food court was way too line for no reason and I was getting hangry. The closest food spot was this and I was not disappointed. The menu is the same as their other location. Since they just recently opened, they had a special offer. I think it was spend $40, get a free California roll. I got my usual customized poke bowl and it was pretty good. The price for 2 scoops is definitely affordable compared to other poke shops. Will be back!!

Excellent customer service, super nice, and the food was on time, great portions and excellent quality of sushi! Inside was clean! Small spot but perfect for simple and delicious sushi rolls! They just opened not too long ago, and I am so happy they did, I love their California rolls! It's perfect and super fresh. I also tried their salmon cheese roll, and salmon lemon roll, all were delicious. Parking: parked by the street, it was convenient. Easy to order, will definitely be back!:)

Very good Poke bowls. We got the medium bowls! Lots of flavor. My husband and I both loved our bowls! The service was quick and efficient. The restaurant is on the small side, super cramped! Maybe better getting to go!

I'm glad I was finally able to try out Poke One -- glad that there's a new poke stop in Palo Alto. You order at the kiosk and then the staff will whip up your order. There are only a few small tables inside, so it might be better to order to go. I got the poke bowl with three scoops of protein. Tasty and sauce was not overpowering. One thing I didn't love was that the spicy tuna was somewhat pulverized. However, I liked the salmon which was chopped. Appreciated the freshness and range of topping options. I'm not sure if I love how they serve the poke in a flatter bowl, which makes it harder to mix ingredients that get pocketed on one edge, but not a big deal. Would recommend if you're craving poke.

Soft opening for this place really impressed me. I was expecting just a poke bar, but they had so many options. From hand rolls, to maki, to sushi, to warm food, I was really happy I came across this place. Super fresh, and super tasty and great service. It was clean and bright inside and felt very cozy while it was cold that day. I will be coming back as this could be one of my favourite places so far! Please give them a try

The portions were well sized. The price wasn't too bad for fresh pokey and also very inexpensive for a iced tea addition to your meal.

The restaurant is very detail-oriented. Is this the best…read moreJapanese food I have ever had? Probably not; will i come back very often? I don't know about that. However, I still loved being there and I have the urge to write and share about my experience. Nice presentation with just a simple bowl of Omaze Don--hot miso soup, separated rice and other ingredients, as well as an instruction on how to eat it. It was a very comforting meal. Their bathrooms are one for female only and the other for both genders since female bathroom usually has a longer waiting time. How considerate is that!! And they installed Toto washlet in the bathroom. It was a lovely experience overall. I'm very glad i walked in.

Ambiance was good, nicely themed. I got the Tonkatsu set with the upgraded miso soup (with clams). The food taste-wise was decent, would not say it's the greatest, but it's not bad. I noticed the clam soup however had broken/jagged-edged half shells within. Don't get me wrong, I love clams and have seen my fair share of empty/broken shells, but the proportion was a bit too much in this soup. Maybe I just got unlucky this time, but I do wonder how they are prepped.

Food is under our expectations. We ordered Brussels sprouts…read morechips, vegetable tempura, traditional dumplings, wagyu beef skewers and sushi deluxe. Brussels sprouts chips and beef wagyu beef was alright. Wagyu beef could be cooked less for tenderness. Brussels sprouts chips were alright for me. My child said it was liked eating "air". Dumplings cooking technique was not good. Or I should say the dumplings usually have one side more crispy while the other sides are soft. The dumplings themselves were soft in general. It felt like it's cooked for a while instead of freshly out of the pan. The sushi deluxe, the sashimi part was fresh enough, but the sushi rice itself was social. The rice texture felt like it's been cooked and set for too long or it cooked with insufficient water. It's a bit hard. In addition, the sushi vinegar maybe not enough as the taste is off a bit. Vegetable tempura was way under expectations. The breading was so thick and it was not soften after dipping the sauce. I couldn't bite thru easily. The asparagus one was so tough and I gave it up. For other vegetables, I was trying to finish without the breading part. Our server asked and helped us to waive the tempura bill which I appreciated it. Generally speaking, if you are looking for "close to" authentic Japanese food, this may not meet your expectation. So far, food was not tasty enough for me to revisit. Environment is nice, good for gathering though.

Food and service was amazing. The team, Jacob, Victoria and server Violet were amazing…read more The dessert and lotus roll were above expectations! Thank you!

The $125 lunch omakase is an incredible value for the quality you get. For the price, both the food and service were excellent. The fish tasted super fresh, and you could tell each piece was handled with a lot of care. Everything was flavorful, and even the little details stood out... the wasabi was really good, and the complimentary pickled ginger they served was fresh and delicious. The service was also top notch. It happened to be my birthday, and they gave me a cute little pop-up birthday card, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel extra special. Overall, I was really impressed with this place. Excellent quality, fresh fish, attentive service, and a $125 lunch price point that's hard to beat. Definitely adding this to my list of favorite omakase spots in the Bay Area!

It was fried exceptionally well and the batter was light and went well before the nigiri portion of the menu. My only criticism was the amount of up charging on additions when an omakase should already encompass the items. I would definitely recommend at least trying once! Service was exceptional as expected and the chef was a pleasure to watch. I really liked the ambiance here that set the mood for the meal!
