Very good poke spot .....be very careful with the extra hot sauce. I love really spicy food but that sauce was killer
Absolutely terrible and disappointed in Poki Run. Workers here are super stingy with the portions. I asked for a little extra corn and the worker refused to give it to me unless I paid an extra dollar! Plus the topping and protein options are super limited. Usually my poke is filled to the brim but this place filled my bowl not even half way. Do yourself a favor and make a drive to Sunfish Poke in Fremont or Hawaiian Poke in Pleasanton/Dublin instead. So many more options there, super fresh all the time, and super kind and generous staff that give you unlimited toppings unlike this place. Plus those places have loyalty points where you get a free bowl for every 5 bowls you purchase or so. This place is a huge scam compared to Sunfish and Hawaiian. Super upset.
When I worked in Milpitas I used to visit this place about once a week. The fish quality has always been hit or miss, which is probably the most important quality in a poke place. Recently, as with most things, the prices have increased a fair bit. I don't mind paying, but I am value-oriented in my decision making, and with the price increase and the average quality this will no longer be a visited site for me. The fish today was mealy instead of firm and I left with a fishy taste in my mouth for the next few hours.I recommend Bowl K Poke & Bowl in East SJ if you have the capacity to travel, you can read my review there.Pros:Toppings such as avocado, seaweed salad, and crab salad are included in the price.They offer black rice as an option. I haven't seen anywhere else that does it, and I actually prefer it flavor wise (but benefit wise it is superior to white or brown since it is the whole rice grains unsttripped).They offer Tobiko as an option for an extra charge.Their miso soup is affordable.Cons:Not as affordable, comparatively, as they used to be.Fish quality has been fairly bad at times.
This place appears clean and food seems fresh... however... their portions are ridiculous. They used to be very tight but now they’re beyond stingy. For nearly $20 for a large bowl (with tax) with all the toppings the bowl is only 2/3 full. This will be my last visit to this place.
My first impression was that this is not a good value at all. I got a regular sized bowl for just over $14. Then I saw they only put a tiny scoop of crab in it so I asked for more crab and that was extra. Most places give you the regular ice cream scoop full of crab and this was just a tiny mini scoop. Same with the masago and when I asked for extra it was $1.50 extra for more masago so instead I went with adding topico for the additional $2. But I was still excited and expected it to be good. Unfortunately it was not. Thankfully the fish was fresh but the avocado tasted old and passed its date. It still looked okay but the taste was bad. The onions also tasted bad. And you could see that some of the onions are transparent which is a bad sign so I picked them out. The cucumbers were a tad bit slimy but tasted okay so I ate them. And then I got to the rice and dang it I could not believe it because I've never experienced this before... But the rice actually tasted moldy. I did not see any mold but I couldn't eat it. And on top of all this, the flavors just weren't there. Even if all of the produce and ingredients had been on point, the sauce was almost flavorless. I had gone with the house sauce in case anyone is curious. This was literally the worst poke bowl I have ever had. Before I wrote this review I called the restaurant to tell them that someone should do a quality control check on the rice, white onions and avocado. The lady told me that the avocados have been having issues because of supply lately. If that is the case and they taste bad and just ever so slightly rotten, then why serve them at all? Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is my first one star review, but this was the worst poke I have ever, ever had!
Probably the best poki place around the area. It might be the only place that offers black rice, and also sushi rolls on the side. I typically get a combo so I get both a roll and the poke bowl.As for the details, they don't charge extra for avocado, masago and seaweed salad which is a big plus since some other places do.Also a personal opinion but I find poke places with excessive fruit options typically don't taste as good. Luckily the only fruit option here is apple.
Portions were extremely small for fish and topping .Ridiculous she only shared the topping container once.. small plate small amount. In pokibowl u get almost twice the amount for less.. reminder to not come back. Also this place is ran by very old Asian women who you can't understand what they are saying
For the price it's okay. If you're looking for poke bowl on a budget in terms of serving size then I'd look elsewhere. Very stingy on serving sizes here and they don't have cripy onions. I'd recommend poke xpress by Apex apartments.
Tasty and fresh, but expensive and small portions. Got the regular size with half rice half salad and most of the toppings, and was still hungry afterwards.
Hella good poki, customer for over a year, always come back
