Cute corner poke store in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Service was fast and the interior is small but it was nice and clean. They have an area that has Asian snacks and bottled drinks that you can purchase. You fill out a form with the toppings and sauces that you want for your poke bowl and take the form to the front where they ring up your order. They also have a self serve kiosk. My miso soup came out piping hot and the poke bowl was a decent size. Next time I will try a teriyaki bowl. Definitely give them a try if you're looking for something quick and delicious! read more

I have been into Aloh-o a few times now. I am a big fan of poke bowls and have been to several up and down the 101. What I love about this place is its convenience on my commute. I wouldn't necessarily say their poke bowls are amazing, but they are pretty solid. They also have other menu items that sound pretty decent. The cafe is small, but it's a cute space. The folks who work here are nice and they run a good, affordable business. read more

Avoid. I used to live in Hawaii and the poke bowl here doesn't even come close. Overpriced and mushy tuna cubes. Go to Gilligan's in Sausalito on Caledonia! read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars. I went in with my two kids, ordered sushi and a boba tea, and somehow got charged twice. They told me the first payment didn't go through, but when I showed them the duplicate charges on my online banking, they still insisted my card hadn't been processed. Despite clear proof, they refused to make the order, issue a refund, or offer any real help. The girl at the counter was extremely rude and dismissive--her only suggestion was that I "wait until the bank calls back." When I asked how long that would take, she just shrugged. I ended up leaving with no food and two charges on my card that my bank confirmed had been processed - Completely unacceptable experience--be careful. read more

It's a small place that serves poki bowls, sushi rolls, boba drinks, a few teriyaki items(like chicken, beef, salmon). Their poki bowls are good and they put a lot of sides in the bowls. Their service can be a little better, I ordered something on DoorDash and my order was late because they mixed up my order ticket with the in store orders which made my order delivered late. When you order a poki bowl you fill out a paper menu on what you want in your poki bowl. It's a pretty good system. They get busy during lunch and when kids get off from school, it's a small place, a few seats to eat inside, it's a good place to do takeout and sit outside to enjoy the ambiance. Also have a lot of little snacks and drinks to grab and go, which probably why the kids like going after school. read more

First time here. We discovered poke bowls in SoCal, specifically a franchise called Poke Chop and it has spoiled us. Their fish is fresh - Aloh-o's fish does not appear to be. Not only does the ahi tuna's and salmon's texture taste like it had been previously frozen, they both emit a very fishy smell. All the sides were good as was the brown rice - but you get a poke bowl for the fish. In addition, the tables were dirty, probably because they are understaffed. Shame, we would frequent this place if the fish were fresh. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped off here to take a break and randomly saw this Boba shop that was open on Christmas! We figure that would be a nice dessert for after dinner so we got a couple of drinks my passion, fruit, green tea Boba was pretty sweet, but I always add water to mine anyways. My boyfriend got a jasmine green tea, and liked it as well. Everything was really clean except a lot of the orders were takeout, so I think some of the servers got the drinks mixed up. Two people that came in after my boyfriend and me were served before us, but I also noticed they ordered black tea drinks and we ordered green tea drinks, so maybe the green tea had to steep longer or something. Nevertheless, everything was very clean and organized within the inside of the restaurant. read more

Tucked into a strip mall storefront line, right off the Frietas exit...I teach a college class at Terra Linda High School and that's how I discovered this. It's now my go-to fix for poke bowl - very easy and quick to self-order with the form (either paper form, or there's a big touch screen "kiosk" on the wall). Freshly made as you wait, generous portions, fresh ingredients. I'm a total fan. read more

The staff were very friendly and professional. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted warmly and served quickly . The food here is delicious! Each dish is carefully prepared, rich in texture, unique in taste, and very fresh in ingredients. Reasonable price, high cost performance. Compared to other similar restaurants, the prices here are very reasonable and excellent value for money. Overall, the dining experience was very pleasant. read more

I ordered the sushi party platter for my birthday. It was fresh, delicious and plenty to eat. (We added the tofu block for the vegans.) I will get this again next time we are feeding a crowd. I have also tried and loved the poke bowls and the bubble tea. The tea can be ordered with less sugar and the phone app is easy to use. Good quality, friendly staff and reasonable prices. read more

This is one of the best places to get boba in Marin. Luckily the line is short now! First of all, the food is absolutely outstanding, especially the boba. They have so many different flavors of boba that it's just too good! I always get the Milk Tea with Regular Boba 2x! Also I get the cucumber and avocado rolls, which are just amazing! This is a perfect place to have boba in Marin, definitely coming back here again! read more

Terrible poke bowls here. I got salmon and I swear there were like 8 little pieces the size of my fingernail and that's it. The salmon also tasted weird and seemed like it had been frozen too long bc of the texture. I added a star because the packaged goods they have for sale are cute and the rice tasted good. read more

I just had the most bizarre experience at this place. The girl working was so incredibly rude for no reason. Made the drink so disgustingly sweet and when I nicely asked her to remake it or IF she can remake it, she flat out refused and began to give me a life lesson about ordering something else next time. I asked for a business card or the managers name and she refused to share it with me. Flat out said "there is no manager". That's strange... I asked her name and she refused to give it to me. And finally agreed to remake the drink instead. Just very poor customer service. Will not be coming here again. read more

Aloh-o is a great little local dive spot. Ambiance is nothing special, but the boba is good, it's very accessible, and the bowls are perfect when you're in a fix and need a basic dinner solution for the family. Good service. read more

This review is for the poke bowls. Now that I'm becoming a regular and soon the staff will recognize me and know the frequency of my "guilty" pleasure... I thought I'd give some praise. I live in Sausalito and this is the nearest poke I've found. The price is very reasonable for the area... Around $15 a bowl + tax... BUT one thing they do differently from other poke places: You get 2 scoops of fish, but the catch is (no pun intended), if you want that crab meat (I think it's krab actually) besides the 2 scoops... that's actually extra. They count is as 1 of the 2 fish otherwise. Not too upset about it bc their bowls are a good size, could be a dinner portion, I'd say. With that said, all the ingredients are delicious and super fresh, they have fun toppings like pineapple and mango. Lots of options for the base of the bowl. Will be back. Again and again. read more

Aloh-o - Buckwheat Milk tea and Honeydew milk tea - Japanese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Oooof. I really thought I'd like this place and was excited but all I could feel was disappointment. We stopped here on our way back to SF after being on the Russian River all day and this was a massive let down. I ordered the salmon teriyaki bowl and that was horrendous, it was a thin piece of salmon that had the chewing quality of jerky. no vegetables or anything. Just a huge bowl of rice with a tiny, dried piece of salmon. I was starving so I put that food aside and ordered a poke bowl. They added a bunch of ingredients I didn't select and also missed out on a bunch of ingredients. I was with 4 other friends and every single one of their bowls was wrong as well. Also, they skimp on the fish. I wouldn't waste your money here. read more

This review is on drinks only. Ordered a house milk tea and peach green tea both with tapioca (boba) the milk tea is watered down, might be made from powder but I can't be sure. It doesn't tastes as authentic as the share tea in San Rafael. Peach green tea on the other hand has too much of tea and it tastes a bit bitter . Boba is either undercooked or it was from yesterday. Some might find it chewy but I didn't like it. Price is on the high side, two drinks costs almost 12 dollars and I definitely didn't get what I paid for. They also sell some Asian snacks and bottle drinks and price is on the high side. But can't blame them since it's Marin. from my friends, they said the poki bowls are not the best but not bad. I will find a time to try their poki bowls and update the review. The staff are definitely friendly and helpful. read more

Very disgusting. The salmon pieces not correct texture. It was definitely frozen because water came out of it. Poke and salmon rolls really gross. Unlike other poke restaurants where the items are displayed, this place assembles your poke bowl in the kitchen. Cannot be trusted. read more

Rejoice, rejoice, oh ye who love bubble tea! For a long time there hasn't been a consistent spot in Marin to satisfy your cravings. I've been bashing Marin's lack of good tea options for a while now because I am super picky about the consistency of my boba pearls, and now I (happily) have to zip it. Last night we picked up a lychee tea w/ 50% sweetness, less ice and taro tea with 75% sweetness, regular ice, both with regular pearls. The pearls were the perfect chewiness, the tea was delicious. I got big fresh lychee in the lychee tea, and the taro flavor was amazing. They have tons of options for jellies and popping boba as well as like 20 different flavors so I will have to try more later. Run, don't walk, to try this spot out. By the way, another reviewer said they wished there was an option to order online. There is indeed such an option, you can order ahead of time online and then pick it up. When we got there, a little ahead of our pick-up time, the order was waiting already. read more

I've been a regular customer for a couple years at the Terra Linda location, and I'm excited to see one in Strawberry! The poke bowls and fresh and custom made. You design your own, so have fun with it! Try something new! Lots of options for protein (the salmon and spicy tuna are my fave!), lots of sauces and toppings. Unlimited toppings - no extra charge! Even for avocado! Their bento boxes are filling and delicious. Try the teriyaki chicken. And they have the best Boba Milk Tea in Marin (And better than many in San Francisco too!) read more

Aloh-o - Beef sukiyaki poke bowl - Japanese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

poke bowls! these are such a great value for the amazing flavors and variety you can get. The two main sauces are unsourcable right now due to supply chain issues HOWEVER there are still plenty to choose from! It always tasted fresh and I have always been fortunate to have very nice people take my order and service. They are usually pretty busy. Make sure to check your order before you leave to make sure you have any extra sauces you might need, they are on request. Be clear on your order form, Be kind, no one is perfect and they do the best they can. If and when they get their ice cream sandwiches (another supply chain victim), YUM! read more

Having passed by many times, I had high hopes. The person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. The first thing i noticed was that there was no poke bar where u pick your items as someone makes your bowl. Here, you fill out a slip with all of your options. Their toppings selection was good and gave you all the toppings if u wanted, including avocado. The y have their sauces listed on a piece of paper taped to the counter, and you can not read the description. After you fill out the slip, you turn it in, and they make it in the kitchen. It came out fast 5-7 minutes. I was very excited to open it and dig in. It looked great, and the bowl was packed. Lots of delicious looking toppings! I dug in, and it tasted great. However, as I continued, it became quite noticeable. There was very little fish. It came with 2 scoops, but you can not see how big the scoops are. It seemed to be a lot less than all the other poke places I've been to. This place also has a limited sushi menu of which I hoped to try next time. read more

I come here once a week and my orders have always been correct and well prepared. I also always run into the same cashier every time, and she is so nice and accommodating. She does a great job clarifying orders, providing the right utensils, and giving clear instructions on the screen for payment. I also notice that she checks every order to make sure everything is right before she calls the number. I hope she gets a raise if she has not already, because she is the front face of Aloh-o. read more

Won't ever do business here again because the owner was yelling at an employee in front of customers! Came in here on Sunday and encountered owner yelling at the girl working counter, while I waited on my order. A business owner should never do that in front of a customer. So unprofessional. The owner stormed off after yelling giving everyone stink eye as he exited his own establishment. No employee should have to put up with that kind of crap, and it's an unpleasant experience that drives customers away. Also having been treated like this by employers in the past, it's not behavior that I can condone. A shame this dude has a franchise and has no class. Aloho is cool concept but this guy is dragging their good name through the dirt. read more

Edit: I did find a phone number ((415) 888-2438) for them but it's not anywhere obvious on their website (yea, it's not on the 'contact us' page). I called, explained the situation and they're providing a 2 scoop credit for the next time we go in, which is appreciated. +1 star for the customer service. Such a terrible experience, ordered 2 poke bowls, both with salmon and they didn't put salmon in the second bowl! Ingredients were mediocre quality (hello canned pineapple, mixed greens aren't mixed greens- it's romaine lettuce) and they over indexed on the base ingredients 3/4 of the ingredients were rice or salad, very little on anything else. To top it off they don't have a phone number so I can't even call to get a refund. What a waste. We needed a good poke place on this side of town, but sadly, this isn't it. read more

Great concept and location. Really want it to succeed. People serving are nice. But the wait was so long. I stood there waiting just to put my order and I was first in line. It took 5 mins to wait to order order even though there was no one in front of me. Then it was confusing to know which line and how to use the form. The pens didn't seem particularly clean or sanitized to write on the poke bowl form and wish I could have done this online or through my phone. By the time the food was ready fir pick up, my son had already ordered eaten his food next door at High Tech Burrito which was much faster. The food itself was super sweet. I got the bowl with the meatless option. I don't recommend the meatless meat and tomago. They both tasted not super high quality. I think this place is ok if you're looking for average fast Asian food but didn't love my wait experience or food. read more

Besides being a little hard to find due to the directions on Google. Amazing Poké bowl. And amazing service.

The girl that took my order was just rude I literally ordered one thing, a honey milk tea boba. You have to sign something on the screen before they ring you up which I was unaware of and she proceeded to yell at me because I couldn't hear her mumbling before. Strike one. Strike two- I was waiting for my order and I kept looking at my phone wondering why it was taking so long.. it wasn't busy and there was one person waiting for an order - she then proceeds to ask me " miss are you waiting for something" Really? Didn't remember to make my drink that takes like 10 seconds to make? Getting so sick of these rude people who work in customer service type jobs. I'm not asking for conversation just don't be fucking rude. For anyone who is interested in how the milk tea tasted.. mediocre but I kind of knew that going in- it's very obviously the powdered shit kind. Just needed a drink because I was falling asleep and I happened to be close. That's strike three, I don't like to leave bad reviews at a small business but will never come here again. I'm editing this once again after reading reviews and people calling this place the " best place for boba in Marin" that is so epically sad to me. Not even close.. read more

I've been a customer at the Northgate Aloh-o, but only recently discovered their Strawberry restaurant, which is conveniently located right next to Safeway. Today I ordered a boba tea on their website but when I got there to pick it up, I realized they'd gotten the order wrong (not a big deal) I was okay with the substitute .. however the guy working tonight was so kind & polite. He went the extra mile and made me another boba free of charge! Thank you read more
