    First off, I am very glad we have a place centered around poke here in Manteca. They have decent options to choose from. If I were craving poke and didn't want to drive to my usual spot in Livermore, I wouldn't completely mind the spot near home. When first walking in, I was welcomed, though when it came to ordering, I will say the service lacked. There were a couple of older people who knew what they were doing, and I bet they were training the younger kids, as the one who helped me. Her customer service could use some improvement as when asked to repeat myself, she went "huh?" or just gave me a blank stare several times through the interaction. I hope this was just due to lack of experience, because I felt uncomfortable from the interaction. I pointed and said a side I wanted to add, and she added the completely wrong item, but I didn't want to say anything as she already put it in my bowl. They have a promotion of 50% off at the moment which was nice, though it was $18.99 for a large bowl (3 scoops) which was 70% rice and very small portions of the sides.. I finished my sides within 5-6 bites and was left with rice, sauce, and a few fish. The taste itself wasn't bad, I just wasn't satisfied by the uneven portions--especially for the price tag. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and will return in the future, as I hope they are currently working out the kinks and gaining customer service and work experience. But in the mean time, I don't mind the 40 minute drive to Livermore for my usual spot.

    Purchase

    I tried to purchase two poke bowls, and the woman preparing my order had a very rude attitude and provided poor customer service. When it was time to pay, their payment machine displayed an error, but on my end the transaction showed as successful and the amount was immediately deducted from my bank account. Despite showing her proof that the payment had gone through, she insisted that it had not and asked me to pay an additional $37.02. I refused because I had already been charged. I have screenshots showing that the money was taken from my account, yet I never received the poke bowls. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience. It felt as though they were trying to charge me twice, and I would advise others to be cautious when paying and to carefully monitor their bank transactions. BEWARE POSSIBLE SCAMMING!!

    Poke Burrito you can customize it

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

We drove near a small hut with a sign that read BBQ with a small line of people so we figured it must be good. We turned back and found no more customers, but we asked the caller what was popular, she recommended tri tip and brisket. We ordered combination plates with macaroni and cheese as the side. We asked if the plates came with bread. We asked if the Mac and cheese was homemade. DISAPPOINTED. Both meats were heavily salted, and the brisket had tons of fat. The macaroni and cheese was bright orange with tons of garlic and it tastes like I was biting into a brick of sharp cheddar cheese. The bread was a cold King's Hawaiian roll. We also ordered a hot link on the side that was dried up and hard as a rock. The bbq sauce that came with the plates tastes like bottle sauce. Sadly, we did not attempt to eat the food and threw away $45 worth of food. We don't live in the area so we were not sure and expected more from this little spot. I really wish it had exceeded expectations.

I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

The food was really good and definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. The wait times--from being seated to receiving our meals--were unusually long. It seemed like they may have been short-staffed, which is understandable, but it did impact the overall experience. That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

Grateful for this spot right off the 99 freeway with clean and large bathrooms. As a new mom, I have been making notes everywhere, and this one had no changing table in the bathroom for babies.
