Pokeatery

This place is in the same complex as Whole Foods. This shopping center is really hard to find parking because of the Whole Foods. I did a custom poke box. The ingredients were super fresh, including the fish. The portions are bigger than they seem and I was only able to eat half and save the rest for later. I also got a dole whip float with POG juice (pineapple orange guava) and it was sooo good. Definitely order 1 to share.

The poke is pretty good here, but I’m giving this location three stars because they’re so tight with its portions. Selecting avocado is a $1 extra, no problem, BUT you don’t get even half of the avocado; maybe two chunks if you’re lucky. I had to practically beg for another small chunk from a reluctant staff member. In fact, they are stingy with all of the toppings except the rice. I could barely taste the wasabi citrus sauce. I frequent the Castro Valley location and they pack you up nicely. For nearly $15 a bowl, I except healthy portions. I won’t visit the Walnut Creek location unless it’s an emergency. Mahalo!
