I got so hungry after eating the tiniest poke bowl of my life:( Very small and the worst rice quality, not the Japanese sticky rice. Fish scoops were so small I was regretting immediately spending $18 for something that was like a bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was spotless clean, so a plus for that[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but please consider making bigger portions matching the prices and upgrading the quality. I only went there because I was in the area but don't feel like going back. read more

First of all, they give a first responder discount of 10% which I really appreciate! They started extending that extent to RNs during the pandemic so yay for me. It's also really close to a lot of places where I run errands so very convenient. I did notice that they offer a slightly less variety of toppings than they used to. I really miss those pickled radishes. But everything is always vibrant and fresh. My go to is the regular bowl and I get the salmon and the spicy tuna. They're spicy tuna is so yummy! Perfect level of heat without overpowering the flavor of the fish. Depending on my mood, I'll get half salad and half rice or sometimes I'll get half salad and half seaweed noodles if they are available. One of the only places I've been to that has those seaweed noodles and I love them. I like to mix the spicy mayo, garlic soy, and sesame oil for my sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of the restaurant is always clean and they do have a bathroom available as well for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They recently disabled the soda machine, but it's still there and you buy cans of soda instead. It looks a little junky just sitting there with paper covering it. read more

Ahii Poke - Heaping Chicken Teriyaki Large Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

I am a huge fan of poke. When the trend became popular in San Diego about 10 year ago, I was eating poke at least once a week. Though Ahipoke is definitely not my favorite poke restaurant in town, I am grateful that it is located in my neighborhood so I can get a poke fix. This is your typical poke restaurant where you can choose your base (salad or white rice), your size, your proteins, sauces, and toppings. I have been going to this place periodically for the past five years or so. I notice that the service is where better when the man who is presumably the owner is working. There have been a variety of young workers there, most who didn't seem much to care about the service. I will say that I'm not a fan of various fish mixtures that they have, so I usually choose a combination of salmon and tuna. The fish doesn't always look as fresh as at tome other poke places, but it has never tasted off. I generally have enjoyed my meal. I don't like that they charge for avocado and do not have masago. All in all, this might not be my first choice in poke places, but it is decent, conveniently located, and can satisfy a craving. read more

Good and fresh poke but nothing outstanding. Would definitely come if I was in the area and wanted some poke. The sauces were amazing though, A++++ on the sauces. Prices a bit high for amount of food but still ok. Topping choices a bit lacking but fish has variety and was fresh. Service a bit slow with one worker. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating area and fountain drink machine were a bit run down (only had water and no ice) but food area was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Recommend if in the area but would't specifically drive out for it read more

We just did Grubhub from here. Very small portion sizes for $17 each. Good quality but more of a snack for that price point.

Out and about we spotted this poke place after running a few errands. We made a good choice. Ahipoke has fresh selection and fantastic options. My hubby opted for all salmon and he was very pleased. I went with tuna and shrimp. The sauces elevated the protein and the portions were generous enough for us to leave satiated and content. The tropical juice blend was yummy and now I wish I had opted not to share. Looking forward to a future visit. read more

Came here before the gym with my gf looking to eat something healthy before we workout but was left with disappointment. We had 95% topping and sauce but had to do a scavenger hunt for any proteins and we got a large with an extra scoop. Came out to 20 bucks after military discount. The service was fine he was polite but nothing super unique. The discount brought back from 2-3 stars read more

First time here and I will definitely be returning. All the ingredients to make the bowls were super fresh (and we were in there late night on a Monday). There are plenty of options for everyone. The portions are generous and the service was friendly. The price point is great for what you get and how fresh everything is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We took it to go, but the inside is your typical fast foodish restaurant. Looked clean and lots of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

No. The fishy smell when we first walked in made me a little uneasy but my husband wanted to give this place a try. Some of the ingredients didn't look fresh and the wasabi was a super unusual green play dough color. I became extremely concerned when I went to use the bathroom. The disgusting and intensely strong scent of urine in there was so overwhelmingly strong - it literally made me gag. I then go to stir my bowl up. Took one bite, spat it out and then threw the entire bowl away. Why? The tuna was extremely fishy. Did not taste fresh at all. Some of the mixed greens had that black slime on them. Rice was super dry. Thinking of how they could let the bathroom get to that point of filth and deem it acceptable for paying customers was incredibly concerning then tasting the ultra fishy tuna made me not want to take a chance on their level of care for food safety. My husbands tuna was also very fishy and while he ate a bit more than I did - he ended up throwing his away as well. While they may follow all food safety guidelines to a T and I'm not saying that they don't. But I didn't like the fishy taste of the bowl so I couldn't eat it. I used to manage a popular poke shop in the past, I love poke and have eaten at many different shops in Hawaii, other parts of the US and in Canada. This was the worst poke I've ever had. We would not go back and I highly recommend they hire someone to do a deep clean and disinfecting of the bathroom and return on a regular basis to keep it clean. It was the most disgusting smelling bathroom I've ever been to in my life. This place gives the vibe of someone who was excited to open a restaurant and put a lot of care into it in the beginning but as the years went by and business slowed - so did the effort and care. Not saying that's what's happened - but that is the impression I get read more

The poke here is good, but lately the portions haven't been worth the price. The last few times I've come in, I've only received about 5 pieces of fish for a regular bowl. Other poke spots offer much more generous portions for the same price. read more

The quality of the tuna here surpasses most poke bowls around here, just look at the picture (even the popular one in OB). You have your choice of type and sauces, and a wide variety of toppings. My favorite toppings are green onion, red onion, mango, crab, seaweed salad, furikake and ginger. They also have Thai tea, which I love. Plenty of parking and friendly owners. read more

Ahii Poke - That's some beautiful ahi. - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

The found is great, but the process is painful. When we got there, only one person (possible owner) was working the counter (no big deal). He was at the register checking someone out and came over to us to tell us that the card reader was down and they were only accepting cash; we said no problem. We placed have our order, and between making the two bowls, a second employee came out to finish making them and the first employee went back to register - he then came back a few minutes later to tell us the card reader was down and confirmed we were paying cash and then asked to see out cash. Showed him we had cash and he let the other employee finish making our order. We get to the register and the employee who asked to see our cash gives us a total. We pay him in cash but did not get our change; the employee said they do not have any cash on hand. One of our bowls was more expensive than the other (no extras were added), when asked about it the employee said "that's the price". The prices listed do not match other menus and marketing materials, and in four different places we found conflicting prices with a $2-$4 difference depending on which item you looked at. Overall, the food was excellent, but staffing and management is a bit disastrous. read more

I'd give this a 3.5 but I'll round up to 4 because the regular size bowl with rice and salad is BIG. Excellent, flavorful and filling. Stars are knocked off for the odd condition of the old dirty soda machine that's clearly broken and only there for tap water. The machine looks like I wouldn't want to look under the hood, definitely needs cleaning and maintenance. read more

Not my usual place for poke but was in the area and craving poke so decided to try this place out. I like that they had a lot of options and there were some things that's I haven't seen at other places such as corn, pineapple, furikake, and eel sauce. The staff here are super nice. The lady in front of me had never had poke before so the guy assisting her was super helpful and offering suggestions and explaining what some ingredients were. The guy who helped me was also very nice as well and super generous when scooping that the lid couldn't even fit on! Overall a good option if you're in the area and want poke. I did also order their guava drink and that left more to be desired. Maybe I was looking for a guava nectar type of beverage and this felt more like just guava flavored water. read more

This place is over priced and they give the smallest portions in SD. I got a large bowl for $20, and it was the smallest portion I've ever seen. To top it all off, even the amount of rice a toppings were a joke! Please Don't waste your money here! read more

Not a great experience. We ordered food online for pickup and when we arrived in person they didn't have our order in their system. We showed them our receipt and order and they hesitated to make the order. After showing them multiple times that we had paid, this was the correct place, and this was our order they finally made it. There was also a language barrier that didn't help the situation. The food was average, good flavor, but nothing special. With so many great places around, no need to go back. read more

It's serviceable if you want some poke quick. Nice selection and for being quick stop, not bad. The prices seem kind of high for what it is. I asked for green onions and carrots started to fall into my bowl. I said it was ok and let him continue (since I was in a rush). read more

Amazing! So yummy. Easy little poke bowl for good price. Good salmon and tuna quality. Will come again.

Elite fail -- I have no pictures because I scarfed down my poke bowl once we got back home. Trust me, the tuna luau & blazing salmon were amazing! I got a regular sized bowl w/ those two kinds of poke, crab meat, green onions, ginger, wasabi & furikake. Oh! I also got the garlic mirin & house spicy sauces, equally delicious. The tropical drink (mango + passion fruit) was dangerously good, not too sweet, & just so refreshing. Wish I had found out about this place sooner because it reminds me of the poke on Hawaii (Oahu -- lived there for five years). Amazing poke + quick & friendly staff, I'll def be coming back soon! read more

Ahipoke is a nice option to satisfy your poke craving. It was fast and fresh, with a lot of options to choose from. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating options. I was in and out of there in about 3 minutes, so that was nice. I'm leaving a 4 star review because it's very solid, but there was nothing special about it. I think there is better options in the area, but it is a good cheap and quick spot if you don't want to go to one of the more expensive poke places. read more

great food and customer service! I just tried it for the first time, I'm new to the area (:

I have eatin here like 4 times the past 3 years. This last time I ate a poke salad and within an hour I was so sick to my stomach. You all know what happened next! That was all I ate all day so something was spoiled either the fish or salad and I'm sure it was the fish . Won't be back ever again . read more

Came here today for a quick lunch before thrift shopping. I got a bowl with 2 scoops. I went for the kimchi shrimp & the spicy tuna. The kimchi shrimp was delicious. So flavorful! The spicy tuna was ok. I avoided it and kept going back for the shrimp. The portions are pretty decent - I was still hungry after having the two scoops. I'd probably do 3 schools next time to make sure I leave full. Prices are decent & seem reasonable to me. I'd go back! read more

I placed an online order, the guy forgot my order and gave me two random poke I didn't ask for. The proportions on my meal were disappointing, it was more like rice with a slight topping of poke. The food tasted great just hardly any fish. I personally really enjoy Hawaiian fresh seafood in liberty Station, which is just down the road from ahiipoke. read more

AMAZING! I love how they mix the sauces together with the fish and combine everything together. This spot is a MUST for poke lovers.
