    Poke Xpress is a cozy mom & pop store. The parking lot is small, so it is hard to find a spot. The interior is nicely decorated and Hawaiian themed. I stopped in only for a drink. *House Milk Tea - it was ok. The service was super nice and friendly. I'll be back to try their poke bowls and/or sushi rolls. Congratulations on serving the community for over 10 years.

    The portions here were so big and the fish tasted very fresh! I definitely recommend a mix of spicy salmon and regular salmon. The service was very friendly and the ambiance was very casual. Great quick place for delicious poke!!

    Large Poke Bowl

    The owners are very friendly and the portions are generous! It definitely hits the spot when I'm having a craving. They have a lot of options and you honestly can't go wrong. Even people who I've taken here who aren't big fans of poke have enjoyed their sushi too!

    I've been coming to this place for over 6 years. Huge portions, excellent service, the owner is super sweet and welcoming as always. My bowls are stuffed, I can't even see the protein. I highly recommend you get poke here!!!!

    The food here was delicious! The portion sizes were huge and everything felt fresh. The couple who served us was so sweet. The store was small but had a lot of cute decorations. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce. Do not pass this place up!

    This place hit the spot! I appeared a little indecisive when I first approached the counter to order but the lady was very good at suggesting the regular bowl (vs large) and helping me along. My bowl was standard sushi rice, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, edamame, Ginger, corn, onions, soy sauce, sesame seed and furikake. Very good poke bowl!

    Stacked and flattened regular bowl of half rice/half mixed greens with 1 scoop of salmon, 1 scoop of tuna and 1 scoop of spicy salmon.

    I honestly thought this place was closed down years ago, but I'm glad it's still around! It's located near Great Mall. .I ordered half sushi rice and half mixed greens, with one scoop of salmon, one scoop of tuna, and one scoop of spicy salmon. They had a lot of sauce options here which definitely made me want to come back to try out the different combinations. The fish tasted fine and had a decent texture. I ordered almost all the toppings except the ones that cost extra (avocado) and the pineapple. The poke bowl was very flavorful and it was a good quick grab & go meal. I ordered it spicy and it was definitely spicy. I wished they had wasabi as a topping though. This was the first time I'd seen a poke place have macaroni. However, the macaroni was okay and wasn't anything mind-blowing. I enjoyed the chipotle mayo sauce which I haven't seen at other poke spots. It gave it a good kick. The owners were really friendly and the portion sizes were really generous. I'm surprised they were able to fit the lid on after putting on everything. I couldn't even finish the whole bowl in one sitting so it was nice to have 2 meals instead of one. It's not my favorite poke place, but it's definitely a very solid poke spot with large portions.

    OUR POKE !!!

    SUPER NICE!!! LOTS OF POKE!! CALM MUSIC!! I would definitely recommend you get poke here. They scoop you a lot of fish compared to most places these days

    A must try!! Super fresh ingredients and delicious toppings. I will definitely go back and try more. Support small businesses! They've been open for 10 years now. The owner was super sweet and helpful. Service was fast and the restaurant was pretty.

    Sushi rice, salmon, cooked shrimp, seaweed, crab salad, onions, eel sauce, ponzu sauce

    FOOD IS SO GOOD. Lots of parking. Lady was so nice and patient. My boyfriend wasn't here so I had to read out loud the menu to him over the phone.

Although I stand Santo market (because my name is in it) Im a huge fan of Poke Nachos with wonton chips and Aloha Fresh has just that. What I dont like is that you have to go in person to get the poke nachos which makes sense so that your wonton chips dont go soggyy, but I do wish that they would at least give you the option to purchase a side of wonton chips online and delivery orders. Despite this inconvenience I was wowed by the poke here. The Salmon poke here is top tier and maybe even better than Santo market. Aloha Fresh has a lot more flavors and kinds of Poke to choose from along with fresh warm musubis. I really enjoyed the poke from here because it's very melty, fatty, and doesnt have that weird fishy odor. Staff here are friendly, patient, and helpful. There is no option to sit in and dine here as the restaurant is similar to Poke House with no seating arrangements. not to worry though.because there's lots of benches around the area with shade. Ive had a lot of Poke and Aloha Fresh is one of the best ive had. However, if you're not a fan of Poke then I suggest you at least give this place a try and just keep swimming

I really like how the Japan town area is a very clean with lots of parking in front of Aloha Fresh. The service here is very fast and efficient. As I stood in line the wait went by super fast. Lucky me! Because I've seen videos of the long lines days they sometimes have. lol. I checked out the menu briefly, but I already knew I was gonna get the pokey nachos because I have been SOO INSPIRED by TikTok. Can I just say? WOW I love these pokenachos. I decided to order the pokenachos with spicy salmon and the addition of the imitation crab. It was SO DELICIOUS, filling, and had a lovely swirl of flavors that complemented everything (especially the chips perfectly.) I really love how you can tell the salmon is super fresh as well as all of the ingredients. It was delightful. :) I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of the crab, but I am definitely looking to try something different next time. I did really enjoy my experience here because the food is clearly outstanding. I will say I was a little sad that my order didn't come with utensils or napkins inside the bag (nor did the worker tell me I need to get them myself.) As a first time customer it would've been nice to be told I have to get the utensils myself before I leave because I was in a rush + starving and had no tools to eat with other than my hands while I was driving *cries* but still worth it! lol. I definitely do see how this business can be one that focuses on sustainability so maybe I am supposed to ask for those? I also do think the staff is very proficient yet it would be nice to be greeted more cheerfully/authentically and/or helped with a smile or more enthusiastic workers. Overall still a great experience! I will remember to grab my own utensils next time. :) ********* NEWBIES PRO TIP******* If you're going to Aloha Fresh for the first time, you will need to grab your utensils + napkins before you leave. They are located in the small corner next to the door. :) Don't make the same mistake I did. lol.

It was too late to drive to Aloha Fresh, so my daughter found this place and suggested we give it a try. The interior is nice and spacious, and there's a decent amount of parking in this small complex. It's located next to Buffalo Wild Wings Express, which we may try another day for their BOGO deal. The menu has a lot of options, and the rolls seem reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the rolls stop at 7:30 PM, so it was too late for us to order the chu-toro, maybe next time. We ordered the viral spicy salmon nachos and a regular 3-fish bowl. The nachos came with a lot of tortilla chips but very little salmon. I did like the guacamole and the mix of corn and other toppings, but overall it was just okay. I still prefer the poke nachos at Aloha Fresh, they're cheaper, has more fish, and saucier. As for the 3-fish bowl, the portions of fish seemed small. We're used to the scoops at Poke House, which are bigger and slightly cheaper. The bowl was fine, but nothing special. We may come back to try the chu-toro roll and some of the other rolls, but probably not for the poke bowls or the nachos.

I had spoken with the owner at the time--who was very kind--and based on that interaction, I chose to take my earlier review down. Unfortunately, this experience left me just as disappointed as before. I placed an order through DoorDash and received it about 45 minutes later, which I understood since the app noted they were busier than usual. No issue there. The problem started when I checked the receipt on the sealed bag--it had my name and all the correct ingredients listed. However, when I opened it (and it was clearly still sealed, so not a driver issue), it turned out to be someone else's order entirely, with completely different items. This is very similar to my previous experience, where part of my order was missing altogether. At this point, it's hard to justify giving them another chance. It's especially frustrating because the food itself has been great when it's correct. Issues like this point to a lack of quality control, whether that's from insufficient training or not taking enough care when preparing orders. Poke isn't cheap, so when mistakes like this happen--especially more than once--it's incredibly disappointing. Sadly, this will likely be the last time I order from here.
