    Custom bowl with literally everything lol
    Jessica T.

    Upon arrival, I can say I love the style of their seats and decor. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I love that there's a little counter where you can fill out your customized bowl. It's just a little tight in there. Got there right when it open and since there was a pop up that day (Enso Matcha), it got packed pretty quick. I customized a bowl for myself and selected half rice and half salad. I chose salmon and spicy tuna as my protein, and opted for spicy aioli, regular ponzu, and truffle oil. I went ham on toppings because... well, why not? I also got the kid's California bowl for my little one. Since he was napping in the car, I decided to get it to-go while we waited for the pop up to be set up. I ate in the car and really appreciated the nicely packaged meal and utensils they provided. The presentation and colors were amazing! I really loved the flavors of everything I chose and happy with the quality and freshness of everything! My son woke up shortly after I finished my bowl and I started to feed him. One thing I noticed towards the end of my bowl was the rice was undercooked. Since I was getting closer to the end of the bowl, I noticed it more then because I was consuming more of the rice at once. There was definitely a bite to the rice. Once I started to feed my son, I noticed his rice was also undercooked and he was not enjoying it as much. He would eat the kani more, but spit out the rice. I also noticed that the kani was spicy for a kids bowl... my poor child was heaving due to the spice, which I did not expect for a kids bowl... fairly disappointing. Overall, I think I would come back to give it another shot... I was really disappointed because I really enjoyed everything else other than the actual rice. The heart of the meal is the protein and base. And if the base is not cooked right, it ruins everything. I truly hope this doesn't happen often.

    Poke bowls with sauce on the side

    Such a great find! As soon as we walked in, we were hit with the most amazing smell. Everything tasted fresh! I made my own bowl with spicy tuna and basically got all the toppings. Service was quick and the guy at the front helped us pick out some sauces. Definitely would come back.

    Seaside Poke offers a quick and easy dine and dash experience. With fast and nice services welcoming you into a clean natural ambiance dining area will show that the food quality is well taking of. This place gets a star deducted due to the portion sizes it offers with small cuts of veggies and fishes cube. However, if you want a fast poke experience, this place offers that with a clean environment.

    If you like your rice extremely stale and sauces way too salty, then this is the place for you. I've noticed that they've been slow in the last few months, so I'm not surprised that the rice tastes old and that they're probably reusing it. The fish had a slight strange odor to it as well which is the last thing I'd want to describe my raw fish. Considering there are much better options nearby, I won't be making this mistake again. They should call themselves Stale and Smell Poke instead.

    Custom Bowl... puffed rice looks gross
    Sarah W.

    The food here is great because you can get whatever you want on your bowl. I will say, though, that I was super glad I ordered mine to-go because the air inside the restaurant was super oniony?? Like it smelled so heavily of onions and my eyes were watering and stinging like crazy while I waited for my food to come out. I also got puffed rice on my bowl and personally I thought it looked a little too much like dead mealworms... still tasted great though. I think in the future if I come again I will order online if possible and wait in my car because I don't want to experience the onion air again.

    Tuna aioli

    This may be my new go-to Seaside location! J. and I stopped by twice in the past month after finding out about this location. Don't get me wrong - I love the original EaDo spot but parking is always a bit of a nightmare. Driving here was quite easy as it is part of the large Marquee complex off of I-10. There is ample parking behind the restaurant and a decent amount in front. The staff have consistently been nice, we did have a newer hire on our last visit who did not input our order correctly but was able to change it when we noticed. The bowls are similarly delicious like the other location. I will add that they seem a bit heavier on the sauces and seasoning, but the same unique tastes of Seaside that I've always loved are still there. My go to is always the tuna aioli and J loves the truffle yellowtail. I like that splitting the large bowl can sometimes be the perfect quantity of food so it doesn't break the bank if you're a poke lover! The restaurant has enough seating for a few groups and has always been open enough on my visits where we can get a table indoors. Till next time!

    Went on a Saturday for lunch and loved it! The interior is super sleek and modern. I loved the plants on the walls and the aesthetic seating. I also like how you can just fill out a form to order. My poke bowl was super fresh and you can tell all the ingredients are very high quality. This place is also unique because it has spicy yellowtail as a protein. I'm a big fan of their variety of options and glad that they added a poke spot in this area. Parking is also very easy and there is even a feng cha in the same plaza if you are craving a sweet treat after your meal.

    Seaside Poke is a local poke restuarant with three different locations in Houston. I have tried their location in the Underground Foodhall before, but this is my first time visiting their stand alone location near Spring Branch. There is limited parking in the front but more parking in the back. The inside is spacious and clean with lots of seating and natural lighting. I got the regular with three scoops of protein where I chose the spicy tuna and salmon. Avocado and seaweed salad are an additional cost. The fish and toppings were very fresh. I really like the puff rice toppings, as well. I do wish the scoops of proteins were a bit bigger, however. For the sauce, I like to get the spicy aioli, which tastes like spicy mayo. Overall, I think Seaside Poke has become one of my favorite places in Houston, as the fish is fresh, and the toppings are great.

    I love poke! Seaside Poke is a solid poke restaurant though there are others in Houston that are slightly better. The interior is very clean and decently spacious. The service was good - friendly staff. Lastly the fish was fresh and sauces flavorful. After tax and tip, it does end up being quite an expensive meal. And if you come during a rush, you'll end up waiting in line for quite a while. I do recommend you try this place and give it a shot. Warning about the parking - it's in a congested area near a Chick Fil A, Jersey Mike's, Panda Express, etc so just know that there is unlimited parking as long as you're willing to park a little further away.

    Signature bowls menu

    I guess I've been living under a rock, but I just discovered this location! We haven't been making the trip to Eado due to lack of parking and it being so far, so we are so excited for this location! Ordering is super easy. There are little order pads along the wall before you order at the register where you can mark what you want to build your own bowl. There are also signature bowls that already have flavors, textures, and fish picked out, if you get decision paralysis like me. I was very happy with my bowl - super fresh and flavors are just how I remember it! It was very clean inside and the staff were very patient and friendly! There are a few designated parking spots for Seaside and a parking lot - much easier than Eado! Will definitely be visiting regularly!

    Super fast and friendly service provided by my server Kenneth P. Food was super delicious and even the small bowl is a big portion. Also highly recommend the salted coffee! I will definitely be returning

    Had high hopes for this place, but it was meh. I like how they had the sheets for you to order. Wish they had shrimp as a protein option. I also wish they gave a little more protein in the bowl considering the protein is cut up a bit smaller than most places in my opinion. After you pick on the sheets for build your own, you walk up to the counter to order and pay. The food comes out at a reasonable amount of time.

    I stopped by seaside poke for a quick meal to grab on the way back to school. They have several premade bowls as well as ones that you can build your own. I got a regular 3 scoop bowl with salmon, tuna, and kani over rice. I topped it with white and green onion, cilantro, furikake, fried garlic and shallots, and nori. I also sauced it up with spicy aioli, ponzu, and Thai basil oil. The bowl is a little smaller than what I'm used to but it smelled so good when I opened it. I love the crunch from all the toppings and the overall flavor was good. Overall a solid poke bowl but nothing will still top don don

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

The vibe was moody and lightly lit, and the restaurant was busy with people celebrating. I ordered the sunomono, maguro crudo, salmon and king crab hand roll, and signature nigiri. The hand rolls were probably the best thing I've ever had, I even ordered an additional spicy tuna hand roll because I wasn't ready for them to be over. My sister even ordered another flight of nigiri because it was so phenomenal. To finish, I ordered the ube sponge cake, which was the perfect little treat to end the night. Seriously, I'll be dreaming about this meal. If I'm back in Houston, I'll definitely be coming back!

I sipped from each of my friends' ube espresso martini (did not taste the same between both drinks, bartender might have poured too much alcohol; couldn't appreciate any ube flavor). Not a fan of that drink (2.5 stars or less). HRW order - 1st: sunomono (cucumber) - 2nd: hotate crudo (delicious scallops!!) - 3rd: spicy tuna & sake handrolls - dessert add-on: matcha mochi (ok, can skip this) Other foods ordered: - karaage: chicken was well made, lots of flavor - sashimi (3pc): saketoro, madai, & hotate - unagi nigiri: eel was really good - spicy scallop handroll Even if you don't need to use the restroom, you should still check out the bathroom. The walkway was a pretty bamboo forest haha. Aside from the ube espresso martini, everything else was delicious and good! I recommend Aiko and would dine here again.

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.

Also had to highlight their house made soy sauce which was extremely umami, very unique and sets this place slightly apart from the many other sushi joints in its range Truffle crab chawanmushi was certainly a top highlight for me as well - rich truffle oil with the perfectly light steamed egg and sweet crab chunks, just an incredible dish and I could have easily eaten several of these The uni was also extremely fresh and buttery and was nice even for someone who doesn't usually like uni In the same class and range as places like Kata Robata and I would say it's a strong rival!

The Chawanmushi was decent but it was a little different than I expected. It had a little bit more liquid at the top of the egg custard. The flavor was fine nothing overpowered and it was soft and had that gelatin mush to it. The carbonara udon pasta was creamy and tasted exactly how I imagined it would which was smooth and creamy with a little crispiness from the pieces of bacon. Just make sure you mix the egg into the pasta to give it that rich creaminess. The only dish I would say that was underwhelming was the crispy rice. I guess my expectation would be a little less rice and a balance of the crispy rice around it. It reminded me more so of a thick fried outer crust. However, I did like the fish and meat they used on top of the crispy rice. They all had their own flavors. The Handroll tasting is probably the most interesting dish I ordered. It seemed to have a good portion of fish and they try to keep the seaweed nice and crispy by leaving the plastic film over the seaweed. The flavors of the Handrolls were subtle. They did make a nice presentation. The salmon flight was pretty good you definitely could tell from the different cuts and fattiness of the salmon. My favorite was the aburi cheese the scorched cream cheese gave the salmon a melted coating of cheese and made it silky and smooth. The nigiri platter was almost like a flight of nigiri. In the order I ate them they got progressively better. My favorite was the scallop and tuna. The only roll I tried was the royal chutoro. The portion was a good ratio of rice to fish and the tobiko gave it a slight crunch. as service and parking. The parking costs $10 and it's only Valet. If you decide to park on the curb somewhere you will get a parking ticket (I saw a guy placing tickets on cars). The atmosphere was upscale and you can tell they try to emulate Japan with the decor(zen inspired). Overall, the fish was tasted fresh and the vibes were there. However, I do think everything was a bit overpriced compared to competitors.
