Regular Poki Bowl (~$19) - 4/5 stars
Melanie H.

I unironically have been and still am a Poki Bowl fan, despite this rating, which is only for this location. Bowls are a lot pricier nowadays as with most poke places because of inflation, but avocado is included at least. A regular bowl comes out to almost $20 after tax. Sauces are added in levels of spice so you don't have to think twice about what sauce combo to choose. The service is subpar for the Cottle location. I've come when it's empty or when there's a couple people ahead of me, but it seems like my bowl was rushed to get made and thus, I'm not getting the full portion. It's probably worse for DoorDash orders since you can't watch your bowl being made. Go to the Almaden location if you can. REGULAR POKI BOWL: 4/5 (~$19) + My order: 1/2 sushi rice 1/2 mixed greens, 3 scoops salmon, spicy, topped with furikake and spicy mayo + Just as good as when they were the rage in 2016 in my opinion! + Solid and consistent fish quality. Some places are of course better, but some places are also way worse + Sauce doesn't seem soy based. It probably has a blend of sesame oil, chili oil, and something else. I eat it up either way! + Love how their onions and cucumbers are cut here (not in chunks or ridiculously thin slices)

regular bowl with tuna, salmon, crab meat, avocado, cucumbers, green onions, sesame seeds, etc. forgot which dressing i got :(

This is my cousin's favorite poke bowl place, so I decided to try this place out with her. There weren't too many people when we came around 6:30pm on a Sunday. Poki Bowl is quite pricy, with a regular bowl being $18.25 and then there's tax + tip, but maybe that's because this is the bay area lol. For light eaters like me, a regular bowl is still a lot of food, so I'm glad they do give a lot of food. I don't eat regular poke bowls much anymore ever since I discovered Hawaiian poke, but I think this place is pretty good for what it is. The tuna is okay though, I wish I got more of the salmon, which was pretty tasty. Service is ok, we had to wait a bit for the server to come back to take our orders. Poki Bowl is located in a nice area and I liked how open and big the interior was. I'll come back next time I'm in the bay/if there's no Hawaiian poke around.

I get a vegetarian poke bowl, but they have octopus. Ahi tuna, salmon and tofu. I also get half rice and half greens. Onions, cucumbers and mild sauce. All the toppings. Every time we go for lunch the staff is quick to prepare a our bowls. They have outside and indoor seating.

Half Regular Bowl. Tiny portion. $18.95

Price goes up so much ,I get it , coz inflation. But the food portion goes smaller and smaller is very disappointing. White rice , really ? Can't even have little more of white rice. I used to come here all the time. Almost $20 a bowl. I rather order a chirashi from a sushi restaurant. Never come back again.

Large Salmon Poki Bowl!

The food was good! The service was quick and simple. The place smells as any other poki bowl place. I only would recommend this place if you want something fast and simple!

Ordered the regular size poke bowl, got two scoops of ahi tuna and one scoop of spicy tuna. Had a good amount of toppings in the bowl. I appreciate the avocado topping was free of charge, but thought it was a bit strange edamame was a upcharge. Overall quality of fish seemed fresh.

I was craving for poke bowl and found this place to try today. Environment: due to covid, the indoor sitting was not available Food: I give 3/5 because fish isn't very fresh. I like the aspect that avocado is free. However, seaweed salad or ginger would cost extra. Fish itself tastes okay. It's not too fresh but it's okay. Service: service was good. I went there towards the end of the day and the employee was nice and energetic. Parking: there's parking across the street or you can park on street The differences between large and small is large get four scoops of fish and small get three scoops. I believe the size of the bowl is the same regardless of the size.

What happened to this place? Always out of items and not the same service. Keep raising prices but giving less.

Can I eat their spicy tuna while breastfeeding?

Yes you may, while breastfeeding it's completely safe and not like when pregnant.

I ordered online when I was craving poke and experienced a quick and fast pickup. The menu was easy…read moreto understand and I liked all the different options. I also liked how seaweed salad was included as a topping! The portion size is good for the price you pay. One thing I would change is that the sushi rice was more on the colder side and I would've liked it to be room temp/warmer like how other places have it. The shop looked clean and is conveniently located in a plaza on Capitol Expwy with lots of parking. I'll be back when I need my next poke fix!

After about a year of not visiting, I decided to give this place another try following a previous…read moreDoorDash mishap. 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.

First time trying this spot and I'm glad I did! I ordered the regular 3-protein bowl (around…read more$21.50) and it was . Went with sushi rice, spicy crab, and tuna for all my proteins--everything tasted super fresh and full of flavor. I loaded it up with all the veggies, added seaweed, and finished it with the house sauce and spicy sriracha... absolutely delicious. Shoutout to the young man and woman working there--they were both super friendly and really helpful walking me through everything since it was my first time. Great customer service goes a long way! Overall, amazing experience. Fresh food, solid portions, and great vibes. Definitely coming back!

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.

There's nothing that stands out about this place but it's just consistently good. There's no seating inside and I don't remember if there was a couple outside. I personally like tht they have a miso sauce that they drizzle on top that I haven't had before at other poke spots. They also don't upcharge to add avocado. Downside is they charge for seaweed salad. Parking is always tough in this plaza. Check this place out!

I really appreciate that the team carefully followed my instructions and customized the bowl exactly as requested. However, I felt that the sauces were lacking. I chose eel sauce, spicy sauce, and ponzu sauce, but despite the combination, the overall flavor was very mild. At other locations, this mix usually delivers a noticeable kick and depth, but in this case, it tasted under-seasoned. Additionally, some parts of the rice seemed a bit hard. Not sure if the rice was sitting out for a while. Overall, I'd rate this experience 4 stars. The accuracy of my order and the variety of toppings were great, but the flavor and rice texture could be improved. I will give it another try by ordering in-store to see if there's a difference.
