    Poke Burrito you can customize it
    Erwin B.

    First time trying Pokemoto Manteca and I honestly went in a little curious because I noticed a lot of yelp reviews were sitting around 2-3 stars. But hey...we all have different taste buds, right? For context, my very first Pokemoto experience was at Pokemoto Petaluma, so I had something to compare it to. I ordered the poke burrito, and for me, it hit the spot. The portion was solid, ingredients tasted fresh, and everything was wrapped well. I like that you can customize it exactly how you want. It satisfied my poke craving. Lots of parking, no stress. Maybe my taste is different from others, but I enjoyed my meal. Sometimes you just have to try it yourself and not let the star rating decide for you.

    This is a new location here in Manteca California! Manteca residents are always excited when a new restaurant comes to town. Official grand opening starts tomorrow but I was eager to try this place out! I love sushi and this is a similar type of food, sushi in a bowl! I got the large build your own bowl and got tuna, lobster, and shrimp as my proteins. They are very careful to give you an exact measured scoop, not heaping. I have ate at the Stockton location before and they also measure out the scoops only they are heaping and not levels off like here. The servers are all very friendly and they provide service with a smile. Parking is plenty as it is in a strip mall. Lots of food options nearby but this one is unique. The ambiance is typical of the chain restaurant and gives off an ocean vibe with coral and aqua colors throughout the interior. I would have given 4.5 stars but half stars not allowed on Yelp so I had to go down to four stars only because I believe the protein portions are a tad small. I will definitely go again and recommend you give them a try for yourself!

    Protein: All Ahi Sauce: Aloha Trio It was a good salad for me. They didn't put seaweed salad when I ordered it. But it's half price.

    The Grand Opening today was a hit during lunch time. It's quite busy but not busy enough yet since it's only lunch time. Office hours and schools aren't out yet so I know dinner time will be busy. It's a good thing I get to witness the opening of this place. Place has cool interior design but not enough tables and chairs to sit. It's too early to review since it's the first day. The only thing I can critic is the glass is way too high to hear customers orders, and the music was a bit too loud. Some staff can't hear my parties orders. One order was supposed to have seaweed salad but only put Kani salad. I hope they train their staff for tomorrow because it'll be busier since it's the weekends. Now check out what we ordered and my reviews.

    Poke Moto did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean and organized. Bright and new. Got right in and they were ready to take our orders. We all got poke bowls tuna and salmon . Lots of mix ins and toppings to choose from. The sauces were yummy and a lot of them. We also tried the chicken miso soup - YUM ! We will def be back. Shout out to Red for some amazing customer service. Would have been 5 stars but needed a little more bang for your buck because it is pretty pricey.

    2 fish bones found in poke bowl!

    Staff was friendly and polite. Lots of options for toppings. Fish didn't taste very fresh. Overall taste was bland. Also, 2 fish bones were found in my poke bowl with 2/3 of the bowl left. I don't know if I will be coming back.

    I found this place on DoorDash and was super excited to see that they offer sushi burritos! I used to live in San Francisco, and I miss them so much because there's none available where I am now. I checked Yelp for reviews, and while there were a few negative ones, I decided to give them a chance. I'm so glad I did! My wrap was huge and absolutely delicious, and the bowl was also generously portioned and AMAZING. Honestly, it's one of the best bowls I've ever had. The fish tasted fresh, and overall, I'm extremely happy! I'm writing this after my second order, and I'm just as satisfied as I was the first time. I will definitely be returning!

    2 large poke bowls and musubis

    As someone from Oahu that now resides in Manteca, here is my take. The place is clean. The staff is also friendly. The portions are small compared to every other surrounding poke spots such as (Stockton and Modesto). I wouldnt use the word stingy like everyone else but its more like (a chipotle server scooping your protein and corporate wants to save money). Rice was a little dry (google sushi rice and what goes in it and use that). Also have sesame oil on its own to add to your other sauces. The musubi's were to salty and was missing something. (Hard to make musubis terrible, easiest snacks us hawaiians make back home). I bought 4 of them. I feel like this company believes that since they are the ONLY Poke spot in Manteca that it can get away with quality. Nope

They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again.

Unfortunately on two different orders, I've found a piece of hair in my food. The last order has done it for me and this establishment. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this is a food safety concern that shouldn't be overlooked. Cleanliness and proper food handling are extremely important when serving customers. I hope management takes this seriously and reinforces hygiene standards with staff to prevent this from happening again.

If you're chasing ultra-authentic Hawaiian-style poke, you might find it a bit "mainland-style"--but still very good. You can walk in, customize exactly what you want, and be out the door with a fresh bowl in under 5-10 minutes in many cases. That's a big part of why people see it as a go-to spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner rather than a sit-down experience. I highly prefer the poke nachos! You'll really get the bang for your buck on that one!

The interior is small with a couple of tables available to sit from. The menu was pretty easy to read and they had a variety of items to choose from! Medium Poke Bowl(5/10): For my base I got half kelp noodles and cucumbers. For my protein I got salmon, marinated tuna, and volcano tuna--mixed with spicy mayo and spicy poke house sauce. For toppings I had spicy tuna, spicy crab mayo, corn, green onions, masago, mango, kimchi, black tobiko, and pickled radish. I thought the choices I made were lackluster. I felt like there was a lot of kelp noodles, and it didn't add flavor. I didn't like the marinated tuna cause I felt like it was more on the sweeter side. The volcano tuna was super spicy, but the flavor profile was there. I think if I were to choose my protein again, it wouldn't be those options. Service(10/10): The worker was super nice and friendly. They were pretty fast and it looked like it was just one person working at the store. No complaints here. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming here again, but it was still worth a try!

The ONLY drawback that held me from giving Banh Mi Express a 5 star was the portion to price ratio. As stated earlier, I ordered a large, in which was a typical "meal prep" container. If that was the large, it made me think how small the regular size was. And to think it was basically $20 for a bowl -- thankfully it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back -- and I MUST try their sandwiches. I'm usually a sucker for Banh mi's.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION- YOU WILL GET SICK! If I could…read moregive this place 0, I would. The reviews definitely don't reflect the actual service and food at this location. Starting off, my best friend and I were in Modesto for Barnes and Noble to get some books for my son. This location being right next to the bookstore was convenient so we went inside. The young girl who served us looked disgusted the moment my best friend said she'd never eaten there and wasn't sure how to order. She looked at her like she was stupid and just said what do you want and was not helpful whatsoever. She got the small poke bowl and I got a small donburi bowl. After what took over 5 minutes for her getting our two bowls from us, she walked away after I paid and I had to ask another worker for a lid to my bowl. Whatever, service sucked, maybe she was having a bad day? We sat down to eat (still hadn't gotten the chicken tempura and gyoza I had ordered for my son). Before my son's food even was ready I had bitten into a very bad piece of shrimp tempura that tasted as if the inside of the batter was covered in mold. I immediately spit it back out into a napkin and just sat there about to throw up. I sat there thinking this is probably just a mistake and maybe I imagined it. Then my son showed me his chicken that he said he didn't want to eat. It was old, rubbery, did not resemble chicken at all, and had black stuff around the chicken under the batter. I went to the worker who was at the counter and told her what we had received. She didn't seem surprised at all, but more surprised I wanted a refund for the two items that were spoiled. No manager onsite, apparently they usually aren't there. She called the manager who did not answer the phone but proceeded to text the worker. Asking exactly what happened several times and then proceeded to say the black on the chicken is seasoning before it's fried, which is not true because the come pre battered and it was just old. I had accepted no refund on the chicken for the ridiculous excuse, but I wanted a refund on the donburi bowl at the very least. The manager asked her to open my napkin and send a pic of the shrimp!!!! THAT IS SO NASTY! That young girl does not get paid enough to be doing all of that. That is revolting! I ended up opening it for her so she didn't have to so she could and a pic. Then the manager stopped responding to her by text. That's fine, Manager, that's fine. You should've just given me a refund for your nasty ass food that was not edible. Now you'll be receiving a visit from the county health department as they were called the moment I left your restaurant because of the food being kept at room temperature, your dirty facility, and the spoiled food you're serving to paying customer. This idiot sent me into my Karen era and I do not even care. Don't mess with people's food. Good luck.
