I always swing in after work, since its on the way home, to get myself a bowl. Its so good I can not resist! The fish is fresh and does not taste fishy or bad quality. Ordering is simple since its displayed on the wall and you can see what they add in, right in front of you, and the staff is quick and nice! writing this order, makes me want another bowl! The place has seating if you want to sit there and eat, but I usually take it for togo. 10/10 would recommend this place. I love how they have unique sauses like mango mayo and blueberry mayo. mango mayo is sooo goood and I personally think blueberry mayo is ok. I think they also have wasabi mayo to add on top if you guys are into wasabi. when ordering, I always flex between a large bowl and a regular bowl but I always get: Base: Sushi white rice, no greens protein: spicy tuna, and regular tuna sauces: ( regular spicy, house, sasame oil) toppings: cucumbers, edamame, corn, masago, apple strips, seaweed salad, and crab salad. dressing: mango mayo, spicy mayo, and unagi sauce dried toppings: furikake, onions, crispy noodles. read more

Best value poke I'll probably ever experience. My brother recommended this place to me and I drove across town today to check it out. Cute interior, ample parking, and the friendliest staff that's more than accommodating. I got a regular bowl which comes with a choice of black rice, white sushi rice, or salad as your has option, three proteins and a bunch of free toppings. I had half and half black & white rice with a bit of salad on top per the suggestion of the worker. The spicy salmon is apparently not always there but it sure was today so I had to try it. Would recommend. I got the spicy shrimp and spicy tuna for my other options. For my toppings I got every free option and a light unagi drizzle to finish. Generous is an understatement. It's probably double the amount of protein you actually need and I bet not a single soul would complain. I went home and weighed everything out cuz I'm cutting some weight so here's the main ingredients by the gram if you're curious: 725 cals, 57P, 18F, 83C (not including veg toppings and sauces): - 125g black rice - 130g white sushi rice - 65g spicy tuna - 50g spicy shrimp - 70g spicy salmon - 65g crab mix - 35g avocado If you add all the other stuff it's still probs under 1000 cals. Great healthy meal. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, well worth the $20 after tax. Will return whenever I'm in the area. read more

Finally got to check out Poki Run and was very impressed with how fresh their salmon was. Their regular bowl comes with 3 scoops of protein, which was nice! The people running the place are super friendly and come up with great suggestions for any food/sauce preferences you have. I got the regular bowl with a mixed base of brown rice and greens. I was pleasantly surprised by how the first scoop of avocado and crab salad is free! Each additional scoop comes with a surcharge. This is such a great spot to sit down and enjoy your lunch. read more

Poki Run is definitely a Milpitas staple for good poke! Every time I come in, the staff is always really sweet and they prepare your bowl pretty quickly. The fish always taste fresh and the quality is consistently good. They also don't skip on the toppings, which I appreciate, making the price worth it in my opinion. Definitely one of my go to spots in the area for poke! read more

Poki Run - create your own bowl - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

Oh man, do I wish I lived closer to this place so that I could have it a bit more often. I had just recently learned about this place and would definitely be coming back. I like how simple of a process it is to build a bowl. I found mine to be pretty filling and I only got the regular three scoops. ~~Parking: The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall. And there is plenty of parking. At least when I went on a Saturday morning around noon, there was plenty of parking. ~~Service: Good. The only interaction that you have with the employees is when they're building your bowl and checking you out. So nothing to complain about. ~~Best Part: The fact that you can get unlimited toppings. And the fact that they don't charge you extra for avocado. ~~Worst Part: Nothing. ~~Return: Definitely. read more

Been going here for years. And I mean it. Place has never let me down. Quality has always been the same and staff friendly. Always good to support local businesses. This place is my favorite poke spot around the area read more

I came here with a friend on an early Tuesday evening. I got the large poke bowl, and it was delicious. I found it interesting that this place does black rice, which had a nice texture. Also, I've never seen blueberry mayo as a sauce choice, it was pretty and also deliciously brightening to the bowl. They also do an avocado scoop for free which was pretty neat. The place was very clean and basically empty, but we did come pretty early on a weekday, and that just meant no line for us. There is plenty of parking in the lot. I would come again if I were in the area and craving poke. read more

It's tucked in a large strip center. Clean place. Several seats inside. Simple menu for Poki. And a handful of rolls. Interesting choice of black rice. I asked for a sample. It was tasty and nice texture. Prices are fair. Bowl and roll was $29 which included my tip. Angelina was my poki barista. Pleasant and serves a good bowl. it was fresh and filling. Will stop back again when in town. read more

I've been here a few times and overall it's a solid spot, though there are definitely some hit-or-miss moments depending on the day. - The spicy tuna is actually spicy, which I really appreciate since a lot of places tone it down. It's flavorful and one of the items I consistently enjoy. - The salmon can be a bit inconsistent though. Sometimes it tastes very fresh, while other times it has a slightly fishy smell. - The tako was unfortunately undercooked the last time I had it, so that's probably something I'll skip going forward. - One thing I really like is that they offer "premium" toppings like seaweed salad and avocado, which adds a lot more variety to your bowl. - I'm also a big fan that they offer purple rice, which you don't see at many poke spots. Portion sizes are also a bit hit or miss. Sometimes they're generous, sometimes a little skimpy but when they're on point, it's definitely satisfying. A quick heads up: their extra spicy is actually VERY spicy, so be careful if you ask them to mix that in. Personally, my favorite drizzle is the wasabi mayo. One small note: the furikake jar could probably use a refresh, since it seems like you mostly get sesame seeds. The shop itself is small and more grab-and-go, but there is some seating available if you want to stay. They're also very efficient and keep the line moving during the lunch rush, which I appreciate. read more

This place never disappoints! Whenever I'm in the area, I will stop by and grab myself a Roll Combo meal. Their fish tastes very fresh and they dont charge you for avocado or seaweed salad as a topping! I always see the same group of people working there when I go and they are very nice and accommodating to your requests! It's a local mom and pop poke shop so please stop by and give them a try! They will not disappoint:) read more

Poki Run - Large Poke Bowl and Roll Combo - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

Haven't been here in a hot minute, but coming back, the prices are actually not that bad in comparison to other poke places. This might be one of the better value options for poke while also serving decent quality fish. It's a customizable bowl for $17, where you get 3 proteins and can add any other toppings, which is pretty nice. I've been to Poki Run ever since it opened, and it doesn't seem like it dipped in quality. The day I came here, I didn't get to see the owners, but the owners were pretty friendly when they served at the counter. read more

One of the freshest poke spots I've had in the area! They have a great selection of fish and toppings. Their albacore is so smooth, it melts in my mouth. They also have one complimentary scoop of imitation crab and avocado- where most places charge extra. The portions are just right! It will definitely have you satisfied at the end of the meal. Plenty of seating for groups or solo dates with yourself. The staff will always greet you and they're very welcoming as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Poki Run - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

I love going to Poki Run for guaranteed fish quality, unique toppings/sauces, and friendly staff! I've been coming here for years and it's still one of my favorite poke spots in the South Bay. One of the best deals for poke imo as they do not charge for avocado, seaweed salad, or crab meat for the first scoop. Small bowl includes 3 scoops of protein and large for 5 scoops. The ingredients are always *chef kiss*. Fish is always fresh and has good texture. My favorites are the spicy tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and ahi tuna. I specifically love their mango and blueberry mayo! I know the blueberry mayo may sound questionable but trust -- it pairs so well with the poke. The interior is always clean whenever I decide to dine-in. Plenty of seats and parking as well. I love how home-y the restaurant feels, a true mom and pop shop! read more

I wanted to try more places besides Poke House and I love that this place's poke bowls are always so fresh!!

Poki Run - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

So there are a few things I look for in a good poki place: cleanliness of the restaurant, freshness of the ingredients, and the price. Poki Run is outstanding at all three. You walk in and the place is immaculate. I ordered a large bowl and you get five big scoops of protein. The ahi, salmon, and the rest of the ingredients were very fresh and tasty. They had a lot of options on the menu and I really appreciated that the first scoop of avocado and crab were free. The large bowl was plenty of food and was price friendly. The service was fast and friendly. Overall this is a fantastic poki place and the best one I've ever been to. read more

It's a solid poke spot, but what really sets it apart for me is the option to choose black rice, which I haven't seen at other poke places. They also include avocado as a side at no extra charge (unless you want a second scoop), which is another nice perk you don't usually find elsewhere. I also love that they offer apples as a topping because it adds a fresh, slightly sweet crunch to the bowl. Overall, because of their unique selection and thoughtful extras, I prefer this place over the other poke spots in the area. read more

Poki Run - Regular Bowl - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

Poki Run has truly ruined it for myself when it comes to my poke cravings. No other place can compare, especially when it comes to taste and quality of that sushi rice. Let's be real- if your rice is trash, the meal itself couldn't possibly be any better when it comes to this type of dish. Poki Run is a bit of a drive compared to a couple of poke spots located a lot closer to home but I'd easily make the trip. 5/5 stars!! Seafood, protein, and ingredients are always fresh, tasty, and the pricing is 100% justified. Flavorings as a whole is always spot on and satisfies all my cravings completely. Having a few recent fails at other establishments have only solidified my love and high praises for PR. read more

I was interested in trying some new poke restaurants in the area and decided on Poki Run. I appreciate that they have some unique things on their menu such as the black rice, mango mayo sauce, and blueberry mayo sauce. The regular poke bowl is also fairly priced and the portions were great. My poke bowl consisted of Black Rice, x2 Salmon, Ahi Tuna, House Sauce, Cucumber, Onion, Avocado, Seaweed Salad, Crab, Edamame, Green Onion, Masago, Wasabi, and Ginger, Sesame Seeds, and Furikake. I asked for Spicy Mayo and Wasabi Mayo to be drizzled on top and got the Mango Mayo and Blueberry Mayo sauce on the side. I definitely would come back for another meal, the mango and blueberry mayo sauce were interesting, I would probably get them on the side to try again. read more

Poki Run - Regular Poke Bowl - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Milpitas, California

4 years later, and Poki Run still takes #1 for best poke spot in the south bay- and for good reason. Everything about this place screams quality- from the fresh ingredients to the warm hospitality, whether you're dining in or taking it to-go. What truly sets them apart is that the fish is always fresh- never frozen. That alone puts them on a level above most poke shops in the area. And yes, you can absolutely taste the difference. Amazing value for your money. Their regular size includes 3 protein choices (most other places would usually offer 1-2 for that price), and they still don't charge extra for avo! The warm vibe makes it clear this is a family-owned business that takes pride in what they do. We always recommend Poki Run to friends and family, and after all these years, it continues to deliver consistently delicious meals every time. read more

First time here and will forever be my favorite spot! I read the reviews before coming here and trust me BELIEVE THEM! The fish quality is top tier!! The fish literally melts in your mouth. As if it were fished that day from the sea and cut up!! As you could see I couldn't wait to get home to eat. I ended up finishing this whole bowl before getting home. IVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED TO HIT A STOP LIGHT SO I CAN MUNCH! Definitely get the unagi sauce with spicy mayo. My mouth is still watering after I devoured this whole bowl! read more

Poki Run did not disappoint! The flavors and freshness is there! The portions are very filling! I got a Regular bowl which is 15.50 and comes with three scoops of protein. I got Spicy Tuna, Tuna, & A Spicy Crab salad. I have a texture issue so that's why I'm basic with my proteins. BUT THEY WE'RE SO GOOD. They have a variety of proteins and occasionally they will have a "special of the day" protein. Today they had octopus. Staff is attentive and very friendly. The location has a good amount of seating. Came for lunch and it was a nice quiet place. They have so much art decorating the spot. I love the cute little Polaroids of some dishes. My favorite art in there definitely is Marge Simpson and Homer Simpson.... You just have to be there to understand LOL. Overall such a super cute spot and I can't wait to go back! 11/10 Poki Run :) read more

I LOVE POKI RUNNN!!! It beats Poke House slightly because they offer up to five scoops and have a variety in their menu. I usually go for the bowls, and the biggest win for me is how consistently fresh the fish is, along with their great variety of sauces! In the bowl pictured, I opted for unagi and decided to try the blueberry mayo. Initially, I was skeptical (because blueberry mayo?!), but it adds a light, unexpected sweetness without being overpowering. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating, the staff is always welcoming, and the area is kept clean. Highly recommend! I come here often and will definitely keep coming back :) read more

Since our usual poke place had been disappointing lately, we decided to look for another poke place to try. Saw this place had pretty good reviews and decent pricing, so we had to try. It's located in a shopping complex where there are plenty of parking spots. Not many people there when we got there so we were able to order right away. As we looked at the menu, we noticed the pricing was higher than what we saw on the menu in the photo section from about 5 months ago. Not happy with that, but oh well we are already here. We ordered 2 regular bowls. Each regular bowl receives 3 scoops. The employee scooping for my daughter was quite generous with her bowl compared to the one serving me, but the scoops felt small. Perhaps that's how much most places scoop nowadays. We like that they have a house sauce they and other options you can choose from to mix the poke with. We both chose the house sauce which is good. I thinks it's a sweet soy base sauce. As for the toppings, we like the toppings they offer and a big plus is that a scoop of avocado is free! Most places charge for avocado. We also like that they offer aside from spicy mayo, a mango sauce. There are other interesting flavors as well such as a blueberry sauce, but I chose the spicy mayo, mango sauce, and unagi sauce. All the flavors mixed together created a very tasty poke bowl. Both of us like this place better than our old go to place. We will be back again. read more

5/5 stars! As a frequent customer of this spot for many years now, this review is loooong over due. This is my go-to poke spot in the area, and every single time I go for the roll combo with a California roll. The fish always tastes fresh, and I love how they offer black rice, which is a great healthy option! They have a variety of choices for protein, such as Izumi tai, albacore, tofu, spicy shrimp, and of course, salmon and tuna. To add onto how amazing their selection is, they also have avocado for free, which is always an extra charge when I go to other places. The portions are fair, giving me a satisfying amount of food to feel full. They have different sauces to drizzle on top, including unique ones like mango mayo and blueberry mayo! The owners and employees here are always so kind, one time even giving me free miso soup. This place is always super clean and organized with their food items as we get to build our own bowls! For a great experience and a delicious meal, I would absolutely recommend visiting Poki Run to meet their wonderful staff and try their quality food. read more

I'm a big fan of Poki Run! It's probably second only to Poke House in my book. I love the variety in the menu - you can get a side of sushi rolls with your bowl or opt for a few rolls instead of a bowl. The fish is always fresh, and the toppings are great! I also love the various sauces. The one in the picture is a blueberry mayo, which was really unique and surprisingly good! The toppings offered are pretty standard and always good.

Honestly this place deserves 5 usually. So I give it 5. Last time I went in there were two girls working and it was a very unusual 2-3 star experience. I asked for tobiko, which I know is an extra charge (I was willing to pay for and yes there was tobiko there!!!!!) and they just looked at each other and then one whispered to the other one to give masago instead. I have good hearing haha. I did feel cheaped out like maybe they were trying to pull a fast one on me. It kind of turned me off from coming back now and I am not 100% sure I will ever go back unless a friend of mine wants to go. Or if I see the same people working I will just turn around and go elsewhere. I've never experienced this service from Poki Run from any other employees there. Food wise everything is really fresh and perfect. It's my favorite poke spot. The last experience I had was not it though. read more

We've been going here for four years and we always enjoy their service and food... My kids are very picky with raw fish, this place always serves fresh poki bowls.
