The best poké in the Bay Area. I used to always have to drive down 45 minutes just to go to poké house in Fremont. I am so glad they finally opened one here in Alameda! It is a must try. After trying Poké House for the first time 10 years ago, it has become my go-to! Generous portions and flavorful. The staff are all very kind and they make delicious bowls. read more

Service was amazing. Fast and kind! The minus one star is just the chicken that gets over cooked when warmed up but still crispy and overall bowl was flavorful. Build your own is the way to go. A lot of quantity for the price and specially if you like everything on it! Ambiance was nice and chill, clean and relaxed. read more

I came here a few months ago for lunch. Service was fine. Plenty of shopping center parking at lunch. I'm particularly partial to having my poke bowl filled with half sushi rice and half greens. A good, healthy combination. I would eat here again. read more

Poké House - Alameda - Unmixed ahi bowl over rice. - Seafood Near Me - Alameda, California

There's limited poke places around here and so this place is good enough when I crave some poke - after all no poke on mainland USA can compare to the poke in Hawaii, unless you go to a high end poke place and pay for it $$$. The fish here is consistently good and have not had any issues so far. Sides and toppings have been good as well. The only issue leading to a 3 star instead of a 4 star is that the last two times I've gotten a poke here has with rice that is a little undercooked leading to a poke bowl experience that is a little below expectation. I've seen that they cook rice using those huge rice cookers and those cannot be used like a standard rice cooker but one has to engage in trial and error to know the best proportion of water to cook the rice well. Hopefully that is something already on the plan for improvement. read more

Stopped off here while visiting a friend in the area: great poke and plenty of good toppings. The salmon was a little discolored, which was a bit of a turnoff. Friendly service. read more

Came here close to closing to grab a quick bite and it's decent. They really do pack it in with the toppings here, however each scoop of poke is pretty small. You definitely need to get at least a medium. A little disappointed that seaweed salad was an upcharge. read more

Best poke option in Alameda in my opinion! Poke House is a chain and I've gone to their other locations pretty often so I was happy seeing this one open up! Quality is definitely consistent. Portions here are their selling point. It's always SO packed and they're extremely generous with the fish. Normally I get 3 scoops from other poke spots but with Poke House, I can get away with 2. Reason for 4 stars is mainly bc the fish quality is not the most top tier. The tuna can be stringy sometimes and the salmon can be overly fatty. Plenty of seating indoors. Nice and clean. Service was fast. read more

Holy crap, buyer beware, they charge +$2 for seaweed salad and +$2.50 for avocado!! Who would ever *not* get those in their poke bowl?!? The only way I'd find that acceptable is if there was a lower base bowl price, which you won't find here-- their small bowl is $16.49, I'd say $14-15 would be more in line with other poke bowl establishments if they're going to charge extra for these key ingredients. read more

I'm a fan of Poke House and was excited when I found out they were opening one in Alameda, especially since it's close to where I work. I stopped by once right at opening. I waited around for a bit and no one acknowledged me until I finally asked if they had any spicy tuna. They just said no, so I left. Even though that first experience was pretty disappointing, I decided to give them another try. This time they did have spicy tuna, but it wasn't what I expected. Instead of the typical minced spicy tuna you see at most poke spots, theirs was just big chunks tossed in a watery spicy sauce. It didn't look appetizing at all, so I skipped it and just went with regular ahi tuna. I ordered my usual combo of half zucchini noodles and half mixed greens as the base and went with their house chili sauce mixed with Sriracha mayo. Unfortunately, the quality of the fish here was nowhere near what I've had at other Poke House locations in San Jose and San Mateo. The tuna was stringy and dry, not the soft buttery texture you would expect. Each bite was tough and not enjoyable. I ended up leaving most of the tuna behind and just ate the crab salad and veggies. For $17 before tip, I expected better. Unless things improve, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Poké House - Alameda - Small poke bowl with two scoops of ahi tuna - Seafood Near Me - Alameda, California

411 S. Shore Center Alameda, CA 94501 I rarely go to restaurants during their grand opening, but I had a good feeling about this place. Poke House opens up nextdoor to Yi Fang and HomeGoods on the "beach" side of Alameda's Southshore Shopping Center. I was there on Sunday, June 1st. It was a sunny cool day. At 4pm, there was no line. A young man sweeping the floor welcomed me inside, and offered to answer my questions. I asked him what's the best item on the their menu. He confidently replied....."The House Salmon Bowl." BTW, a Poke Bowl is not sushi. It's a Hawaiian dish. It may have similar ingredients, but the preparation and presentation are different. Poke House offers both raw and cooked dishes. So, I ordered a medium House Salmon Bowl (takeout). Poke House has a assembly line style counter. There were two servers and one cashier. Everyone was super professional and listened carefully to customers. Your order includes a utensils packet with a napkin, chopsticks, and a spoon/fork. The House Salmon Bowl was really good. I asked for sesame oil and pickled ginger. The salmon was fresh, with no fishy smell. The taste was clean. The krab salad, seaweed, green onions, and ginger all came together to make a delicious dish. I took my order to go. The restaurant was a bit crowded as they only have five tables inside. There's no table service. I will return and try something else. Hopefully they'll expand their hours. Free parking in mall lot. read more

Came on grand opening day! Such a clean place with a nice easy assembly line and friendly workers. We got the small poke bowl and crispy shoyu chicken bowl. Spicy salmon and Spicy tuna over a bed of salad, (you were able to choose from a variety of bases, white rice, brown rice, salad or zucchini noodles) You also got to personalize/pick your toppings along with a mixture of sauces. Seaweed salad was an extra charge but well worth it! Everything was super fresh and delicious. Crispy shoyu chicken bowl for those who aren't looking to eat raw fish or can't, this is such a great alternative! If you're looking for that crunchy moist chicken. Definitely will be back here again :) read more

One of the only spots only during labor day weekend, this was a yummy option! The portions were amazing and it was cool that they had hot options too like spam musubi. We ordered the large with five protein options half and half sushi rice and mixed greens. We chose the salmon, yellowtail, and spicy tuna. The extra add ons were crazy good - seaweed salad, avocado, imitation crab, corn, furikake, thinly sliced cucumber, and masago. The only disappointing part was that they didn't have a diaper changing table in the restroom, otherwise, great find in Alameda! read more

Late review but I came here a few weeks back about 20 minutes before they closed. I got salmon and tuna. All the toppings because I'm not picky. I got a spicy miso sauce and it was a nice kick because I accidentally flung some sauce in my eye as I was eating and almost took myself to the er LOL but it was so good! Staff are super nice too. read more

I was craving seafood (what else is new), so we decided to try out the recently-opened Poke House in South Shore. I ordered a small build-your-own bowl with double Scottish salmon. RB also did a small bowl, with double garlic oyster tuna. A small bowl is $15 and comes with two proteins; avocado is a pricy upcharge of $2.50. They have bottled Coke and Sprite made without corn syrup, which is definitely a plus. If you like sake or beer with your poke - and who doesn't - you're out of luck, no alcohol here. Maybe they're still working on getting a license. Two small bowls with two beverages (Sprite and green tea) came to $48, which seems a bit steep. My bowl was pretty tasty and the fish was fresh. Nothing to really rave about, but it did the job as far as satisfying my poke craving. read more

Here is another good, the bad and the ugly review. The good: Fresh fish. Very nice. I had the oyster garlic tuna. My partner had Scotish salmon. I went with half spring mix and half zucchini noodles. I think i have had zucchini noodles before when they were cooked. I liked these better since they were raw and crunchy. Nice change up in the mouth feel. Nice selections of sauces and toppings. The bad: Portion size was small compared to other poke places. You would think with smaller portions comes smaller price. Nope!!! Higher price. Pay more, get less. The ugly: No alcohol. Seriously no beer, bubbles, or sake. My partner went with a crack drink disguised as Sprite and I had an unsweetened green ice tea. May come here again but not going out of my way for it. read more

Easy ordering via app. Ordered a custom bowl with oyster garlic tuna, salmon and shrimp with the siracha aioli plus the ponzu and sweet unagi. Everything was fresh but the sauces were too heavy and wet. It was a tab but spicy but the flavor was pretty good. The handrolls were a bit of a disappointment. Made to order but too mouth rice to fish ratio and it was pretty bland. Also not crazy about the idea of rolling it my self like unwrapping the onigiri. Ended up dipping the hand rolls in the poke bowl sauce for it to be more enjoyable. Poke bowls are ok but would skip on the hand rolls. Few tables for dining in. read more

Poke House is the best new addition to the Alameda food scene! Def the best poke spot in the area! I especially love their spicy miso salmon and Scottish oyster tuna. The fish is always super fresh, which is not always the case with poke spots. And the portion size is great - not sure why others are complaining about that. Each time I've gone, they always pack in the ingredients. And they have such a great assortment of toppings, including different types of seaweed, mango, corn, etc. I also like their suggested sauce combos. The spicy mayo and citrus ponzu is great! read more

I came here on grand opening day and surprisingly it was 40% off! Even though the line was long, it moved fairly quickly. I got two custom bowls, kids crab bowl and hand rolls to go. The staff are friendly and quick to prepare your order. The preparation station was clean and the fish and sides were constantly replenished when they were running low. I was nervous when I stood in line that they would run out of the fish I wanted since I came at dinner time, but they had everything stocked and prepped! I'm glad they were prepared for the crowds. The ambiance is bright and there are a few tables for customers to dine in but I decided to take my bowls home to eat. The custom bowls were fresh and the hand rolls were super tasty. I really enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely add poke house to our food rotation when we are in south shore. read more

Went to Poke House around 4:45. Service was attentive once through the door. Prices are on par and reasonable for a poke place. I decided to go with the medium size. 3 scoops of protein, base, plus toppings. They offered a free scoop of imitation crab salad and I am not one to turn down free stuff. They ran out of tuna for the day, but it is nearing the end of day so that's to be expected. Got 2 of the spicy salmon and one regular w/half and half of sushi rice + salad. They separated the regular into another bowl to mix with toppings (this is a plus in my opinion) Good selection of toppings and packed to the brim. Took it to go, but if you're about the aesthetics, the menu was clear and concise. Labels near the toppings. And the eating area was clean. The flavors were good except for the plain salmon. Maybe I should've asked for more citrus ponzu sauce. Overall would go again. Food: Tasty Value: Good read more

The wait is finally over! We happened to walk by when they had their grand opening and there was a decent line out the door around 4pm. Ordering your food is like an assembly line where you start with a base and then move on to the next person to place your toppings and sauces. It's pretty streamlined and efficient. The restaurant was really clean and organized! We got the Large BYO which comes with 4 scoops of protein and we chose the miso spicy salmon and the oyster tuna. It's nice that each bowl comes with a free scoop of crab salad. The salmon was light in taste, I didn't taste any spice but I don't mind that, but the garlic oyster tuna was delicious! We also ordered 3 hand rolls: the salmon, spicy tuna, and California. They were all good and fresh but needed a little extra seasoning so I drizzled some soy sauce and it was chefs kiss. Would I order the hand rolls again? Definitely -- the size alone is worth it. We had to wait a bit for our hand rolls after we paid and the owner noticed and would check in on us and our order frequently and would make little conversations and even hand delivered us our order when it was ready. He was so sweet and we appreciate the attentiveness from him. All of the other staff were also amazing! 5/5 would recommend coming here and giving it a try! This will be our go-to spot for poke in alameda! read more

The new Poke House at South Shore Center is pretty darn good! We got the Tuna Lover and the House Salmon. They were both delicious. The crab salad--which comes standard but I nearly passed on because most crab salad is a waste of time--turned out to be delicious and thankfully not drenched in mayonnaise. The tuna itself was fresh and flavorful. The "very spicy" sauce was actually mid-level spice. The staff was still getting the kinks out, but they were kind enough. I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 because the packaging plastic wasn't biodegradable. read more

This is my go to spot for Poke in Alameda, CA. There's plenty of parking in the lot in front. It is small on the inside with a few tables but there's plenty of seating outside. My favorite items to order here are the Garlic Oyster Tuna and Spicy Spicy Tuna for the Large bowl option. Adding in Sushi Rice as the base. Mix-Ins with Purple Cabbage, Sweet Onion, Corn, Edamame, and Green Onion. For sauces I went with just two - Sriracha Aioli and House Shoyu. And finally topping it off with Crispy Onions, Nori Strips, Pickled Ginger, and Sesame Seeds. It was a packed bowl. Staff was super friendly during the whole ordering process and completion, and would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family. read more

My fiancé and I went to Poke House on their grand opening to secure that 40% off! When we got there, there was a relatively short line and it moved pretty quickly too. Since we had eaten a little already, we decided to order and share a large poke bowl which comes with four protein options. We got the miso salmon, regular salmon, garlic oyster tuna, and octopus with the unagi and ponzu sauce. It was delicious!! I'd say the proportions are a little off because they give so much rice compared to fish and toppings but the flavor was there. Unfortunately, there is an additional $2-$2.50 charge for avocado and seaweed salad. This was unusual to me as I've never been charged extra for those toppings at other poke places so I was disappointed by that. The poke's good but I'm not sure the value's there since the bowl wasn't as big as we had hoped too. They were generous only with the rice but the fish scoops were small. After ordering, we wanted to sit inside and eat but the dining area has about 4 small tables so we couldn't get a seat. We decided to go to Starbucks and eat there. While the food was delicious, I'd rather go to another poke place for better value in the future. read more

I have been to this place before, and just like last time...they are out of certain ingredients. Maybe better inventory keeping will help solve this problem. Also, I hope they are telling the truth when they say they clean their counters really well, because I saw the server pick up some ingredients that were dropped on the counter and they put it back into the container to be served to the next customer. I agree with not wasting, but come on! read more
