Went to the grand opening and I liked it! The pricing is pretty good, cheaper than the other poke places around and they give good portions. I also liked that there was a lot of different options for bases, fish and veggies! read more

I think this place is good for its variety of choices + portion. But in terms of taste I find that there often isn't enough flavor (lack of sauce?) and there have been times when the sushi rice was not cooked well so it hindered the taste of the entire bowl. There also isn't much seating so it filled more like a to-go place but the line doesn't take too long. read more

Looking for my Fish Friday Meal and stopped by Poke Parlor and it was pretty busy but the staff was chuggin along and doing a good job. The employee Jiana helped me and I asked her for suggestions on substitutions for items they didn't have and was very satisfied with how my Poke Burrito turned out. The place was clean and Jiana's good customer service was appreciated. read more

This is probably my favorite Poke place in Berkeley now! Food is fresh and the portions are generous (though to be fair it's mostly rice). +1 would recommend the sriracha aioli with the citrus ponzu sauces. -1 Seaweed salad costs extra here though it's free in the other poke places. -1 Hopefully this is because the place is new, but I've been here a couple times: once they were out of salmon, another time completely out of rice, and during their grand opening they didn't have proper lids for their containers which made take-out a bit of a pain. I didn't even come during very late hours at any of those times. read more

The fish are fresh, portions are more than generous, and the workers are so nice! I got salmon yellow tail and octopus with mixed greens and sushi rice and oh my goodness best poke I've had in Berkeley! Definitely worth checking out I'm definitely going back to try their pokinini and tacos next time (: read more

I've been going to Poke Parlor since it opened. Since my first time I had a wonderful experience. The staff is amazing and they always treat me with kindness. I'm there almost every day and they always give me the same enthusiasm. The fish is always amazing as well as the other ingredients and the store is always clean. The portions are generous and they always do it with love. I love this place in all its aspects and will continue to go often and bring friends. read more

This place is pretty good! I'm a vegetarian, and I ordered the veggie bowl (obviously) which came with a really generous quarter of an avocado! My only problem with it was that it wasn't cut at all lmao it was just a literal hunk of avocado in my bowl. Delicious but how to eat Also, when I got to the end part of ordering, I asked for seaweed salad bc the veggie bowl comes with it, but the guy told me it would be an extra $1. Booooiiiiiiii ya girl doesn't eat meat how are u gonna tell me I can't have SEAWEED I was a lil heated Otherwise the choice of sauces is great; the food was great; overall a pleasant experience! read more

Not the best Poke around! The lettuce had a very funny, lingering after taste (weird). Also, they charge extra for seaweed and avocado. Most Poke places do not charge for this. I don't recommend this place to an experienced Poke eater. Oh! Lastly, they serve soy sauce in a packet... read more

Great portions and options---loved the zucchini noodles more than I expected. I've tried many poke places and I always leave thinking I won't go back because it's overpriced or portion is too small, but I'd definitely come back here because I was very full after devouring my regular-sized bowl. The scoops were generous and you have a lot of things you can add! read more

Poke Parlor - Picture after I had already began to dig into it... - Poke Near Me - Berkeley, California

This place is very customize-able and you are able to choose what you like in the bowl. They have 3 different sizes for bowls: mini, regular, and large. I got the regular size which allows choice of rice or salad and 3 scoops of fish. My go to for poke bowls are usually brown rice, salmon and spicy tuna, so I ended up getting 2 scoops salmon and 1 scoop of spicy tuna. As for veggies, they have a bunch of selections like onions, edamame, jalapeño, etc. I went with all the veggies just to try it. After picking your fish and other toppings, you have to decide on sauce. They recommended the sriracha aioli and the ponzu sauce so that's what I had them add into my bowl. They also have final add-ons like crab meat (free) masago (free), seaweed ($1), and a few more. I had to add seaweed just to try. I really like that my bowl was packed to the top but the bowl was a little on the pricier end (~$14) but I guess you pay for the quality right? I just happened to crave poke after arriving in Berkeley after a trip out of the country. read more

Another hidden gem of Berkeley!! The first poke i know has miso soup to it makes my poke experience a lot more balance! The fish is very fresh and I do recommend you the spicy tuna taco! It is bombbbb read more

Definitely the best poke place in Bay Area. They also have panini which is called "Pokenini" comes with miso soup and the Tacos are hella delicious. The portions are big and the price is truly reasonable. U have various choice of sauces and staffs are so friendly. They menu is made so thoughtfully, they have veggie bowl and suitable sauces for vegetarians. Since they opened there've been my fav. Place to eat. read more

great food! my go-to poke restaurant w tons of good ingredients (and free seaweed salad + crab salad on the side- not many poke places give that for free) and super safe for covid :) super nice workers too read more

Poke Parlor is probably the best poke place in Southside Berkeley! The fish tastes fresh and all of the other ingredients are extremely high quality. The staff is also extremely hospitable, I had the privilege of being served by an employee named Troy who was very cheerful with handling my order. He provided helpful suggestions about various ingredients that I wanted to add to my bowl and made the process quick and easy; I was out of the restaurant with my food in only a couple minutes! read more

Love the food here. . All the staffs are so friendly. And the food is so good. Everyone should try the Tuna Tacos :). Will come back and try more :) read more

This place is one of my new favorites! It's super clean and the employees are very friendly. Troy (one of the employees) helped me out today, giving me sauce recommendations and helping me checkout at the counter. The food was amazing! An overall great experience. read more

Spectacular service! Delicious food! Yum yum yum! Walking in to Poke Parlor, I was pleasantly surprised by the enticing aroma arising from the assorted options of the poke bar. Being an avid, poke-enthusiast myself, my expectations were especially high! Poke Parlor has more than met my expectations! The fresh ingredients, the friendly customer service, everything, just superb! Will definitely comeback for more! read more

Extremely disappointed in Poke Parlor. When I go in, I am treated well and the service is great. When I order delivery from them it's as if they assume that since the person is not in their face they can give them terrible food that is not what they ordered at all. Edit: The owner was quick to respond to make things right so I have raised my rating. read more

I Iove poke so I was down to try the new poke spot that opened right next to where I live. I already knew the minute I walked in that this place may be the worst/best thing to happen to my stomach and wallet. This place didn't disappoint. The servings are generous and the staff are helpful and friendly. The price is steep but it's a bang for your buck. Side note: the pokenini and tacos are great too if you want to try something new. read more

So I finished the whole bowl... (Yelp told me this review was on the short side so I guess I'll tell you more about the place) . . . It was amazing read more

Poke Parlor - This is how good it was... - Poke Near Me - Berkeley, California

Good vibes, even better food, and a cool choice selection (i.e. sushi burrito or poke bowl). Interior is quite small so don't expect to dine within, but after customizing my own (very first) poke bowl--it was magical. All things considered, a little expensive on the medium to large sizes but worth the quality nonetheless. read more

I enjoyed the poke itself and all the freshness and flavor, but I am disappointed with the build your own bowl. I got the medium and got to choose three proteins, and for each one, the employee used something the size of a cookie dough scooper to get the proteins I chose (one small scoop of each). I felt like I got a medium bowl of rice because even though I mixed in the toppings, I quickly only had a bowl of rice left. I think I typically see other poke places including more, so that was a bit disappointing keeping in mind the price. Wish I could've rated it higher because the poke was good. read more

This is probably my favorite poke parlor in town. The fish is fresh. The rice is fresh. The tunes are fresh. Amazing food and amazing service. Would bring my children and grand children here. 10/10 would eat again. read more

Poke Parlor - The best poke workers ever - Poke Near Me - Berkeley, California

Went for lunch and thought the food was pretty good. I got a chicken bowl and had to wait a while because they ran out of chicken but I didn't mind. This was my first time going so not sure if that's a consistent thing. Like other reviews say it's pretty standard and fresh. I enjoyed the bowl but the best part was my passion fruit ice tea -- so refreshing and delicious! I would definitely get that again read more

Tuesday April 9th, the woman working behind the counter at around 11 am is consistently rude to customers, and is in general unpleasant to deal with. About two weeks ago, she was extremely passive aggressive after making a mistake, she would not correct it, and proceeded to deliberately make my food too spicy to eat. I came here often, however I find it too unpleasant to come here while she is working. read more

The service was nice and the place has a good ambience. I got the regular size bowl and the salmon pieces were huge. the octopus was not great (didn't taste as fresh). I am not a fan of garlic flavors in my poke bowl so maybe it was the choice of sauces (miso aioli, sesame oil, black eel sauce) that turned me off, but in any case, i could not finish my bowl. read more

Undercooked rice, almost raw and clumped together, some parts were strangely mushy. Asked for tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon. Got exactly 4 tiny cubes...actually 3 cubes and 1 thin sliver of salmon. It was mostly rice, and not good rice. read more

ordered through snackpass and i was given a bowl with rice thats not cooked all the way through :( the amount of protein was also less than my last few trips to this place. I definitely recommend watching them make your bowl, order pickup def isnt worth it read more

ordered through grubhub/seamless its taken TWO HOURS so far Im worried if its even going to be edible at this point. How does it take an hour to make a poke bowl when they first open? I will edit my review if it ends up being edible but this is ridiculous read more

Good food, great atmosphere, and even better service. An employee named Troy helped me pick my fish and even recommended me some of his personal favorite toppings. He was extremely kind and made my first experience a pleasant one. I will definitely come here again for the great food and the sensational customer service. The music that they play is also on point. read more

My favorite poke place in Berkeley! I usually get the salmon and the octopus and the sauces are all really good especially the house shoyu and the miso aioli!! They usually give a little extra of the toppings if you ask for it. The server today with the pink hair was also super patient when I was having trouble deciding between toppings. In the end, I could barely close the bowl, and that's when you know you're getting youre getting your money's worth! read more

I got their salmon bowl and the fish was very fresh, the sauces were flavorful, and I liked the seaweed salad that came on it. Overall it was worth my money and I did come back. read more

This is the third poke place that has opened up in Berkeley campus' vicinity, and I would say the second best very close to being tied for first! I got the two scoops of salmon and one scoop of tofu with almost all the toppings, and I paired it with the house shoyu, siracha mayo, and sesame dressing (solid combination)! The fish was also pretty fresh compared to other places I have been so overall solid. The interior is very comfortable and clean, and it is a prime location on Telegraph. There is always a line during rush hours so you might have to wait in line for 5 minutes if you come around those times. The food was incredible vibrant and I enjoyed the many toppings. I wish there was more sauce to be mixed in with my fish, but I asked for more on the side, and it was good. Including tax the small was around $11.20 I believe, but was worth it for the various options. Seaweed salad is extra, which was surprising because I have never been to a poke place where it costs more, but never the less it was quite good and I will return! read more

Poke parlor is great if you're looking for fresh fish and a huge variety of toppings! Every time I come I get huge servings and I'm greeted by very friendly servers like Brian. Definitely one of my favorite places to go for lunch read more

I went in to Poke Parlor having never tried it before. As I was staring at the menu, Sheena greeted me with a warm smile and helped me pick my order. I got the Salmon poke bowl and it was amazing, and the kindest staff person made my visit extra special. With people like Sheena on the staff, I recommend Poke Parlor for anyone wants to warm their bellies with delicious bowls and their hearts with company that would make anyone feel at home. read more

The portion sizes are big but the overall quality is not that good. The sushi rice was dry and hard to eat. The fish portions themselves were really small. I did like the mango and pineapple options; however, they did charge extra for seaweed salad which no where else does. Out of all their protein options, the spicy tuna was probably the best. read more

My go-to poke place in Berkeley. Solid quality, generous portions, and pretty reasonable prices. Great customer service too. Shoutout to Troy for always being so friendly and making great bowls. read more

A couple months ago I stopped by this place because I've heard nothing but great things from my friends, so naturally i went to check it out. Upon arrival i was greeted by such friendly servers! One of them was named Andrea and with this being my first visit she helped me choose which bowl i wanted and i settled for a Salmon Supreme! She was so helpful but as she was helping me a customer before me was complaining so she went to mediate the situation and another worker helped me, his name was Jose and with every scoop he gave me he was asking me about my day and i just felt so welcomed by him! and by the time my bowl was done the worker there named andrew rang me up, they were so gracious with me, especially because i can tell how stressed out they were. This place is a 10/10 from great food to great service! read more
