Hashtag Poki

I eat here often, overall I think it’s the best poke in the Oakland/Berkeley area (considering price, portions, quality, flavor and service). I’m always pretty satisfied with my orders. Just a note to the staff if anyone see this: my dinner order tonight tasted like the avocados were soaked in lemon juice and the shrimp was a little off. I know lemon juice can prevent the avocado from browning throughout the day but the lemon flavor was too strong throughout the bowl. The flavors may have been different/off because I ordered a late dinner near closing time and typically I order lunch, not sure if maybe the procedures for keeping the food change later in the evening as you start to close up. Just a little feedback. Thanks!

Overpriced and not worth it. Price is much higher than what shows on Google, and portions are tiny. I asked for two bowls with the same amount of fish, and the server scooped one much bigger than the other. I asked him to make them the same size, so he scooped fish out back into the supply instead of evening them inside the bowls. He also mixed up the sides for the two bowls. I love poke and have been looking for a good local poke place. I will never go back here.

Food was decent but bad service. I’ve been eating here for a year and macaroni salad doesn’t taste like it used to. When I called yesterday to give constructive criticism respectfully, the guy got really defensive and had an attitude. That guy could’ve just said “thank you for your feedback” even if they don’t wanna change. Well they lost a customer

For those unfamiliar with this style of cuisine, this type of fast casual restaurant primarily prepares a traditional Hawaiian seasoned raw fish salad served with a bed of rice as the base, your choice of cut raw seafood on top, and some veggies mixed in. It’s good, clean, and healthy eating. But the menu is meager when it comes to hot and cooked food. I mention this because I was looking for a basic cooked chicken over a bed of rice dish when I went, not knowing what their menu consisted of. Although they don’t offer any cooked chicken, their poki bowls are tasty. I particularly liked the seaweed and crab salad as my sides. Customer service was good. The team was patient, helpful and did well to explain the process of how to build a bowl. Do think the mini bowl portion size was plenty of food. Price was fair. Tip, only street side parking.

taste is good but eh, i've had better poke. their portions are disappointing both in bases and proteins. their "three proteins" is just a scoop in another poke bar. they have great choices for "free" sides though, which you have to pay for in other poke places. their portions for these sides are great too.
