TIME: Came around 4:50 pm on 4th of July, wasn't really packed, took a little bit to get our food. PARKING: parking wasn't too hard to find, but since it is only street parking it might be tough to find something, especially if it's busier. PLACE: place is fairly small, no inside dine in, and there are benches to wait for your order. Someone greets and takes your order, then they give you a buzzer and you wait for your food. FOOD: Combo #1: Spicy Salmon Poke - very good flavor and the sauce makes it come together nicely, it also comes with seaweed salad, and rice. Combo #2: Salmon Teriyaki Plate - comes with teriyaki carrot and broccoli, 4 pieces of shrimp battered, rice, and salmon teriyaki, the portion was small but it was good. All combos come with water! OVERALL: super good place if you're craving fresh poke or some seafood in general. read more

Basa Seafood Express - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

Thanks for the recommendations, @Dominic. Came here to grab some seafood for lunch. There was a short line. I ordered basa seafood combo with fried fish, shrimp and. Oyster with fries. I also got a spicy salmos poke and shoyu tuna poke. The fried fish was a bit dry but crispy. The pokes were delicious and I didn't get the combo because I had rice and seaweed at home. They give you a number beeper which rings when your order is ready. There are not seating at this place. It is all to go or take out orders. Parking can be difficult but I circled once and found a spot in front of the place on a Friday afternoon. read more

Super quick service and cheap prices!! For 13 dollars with tax got a poke combo. The lady at the front is super nice and there seem to be loads to choose from. I waited about 5 minutes and they got it to me quick. It seems like they have a bunch of these premade bowls/fish plates ready to serve. Cheap and good for SF. The ambiance was clean and not much of a sit down place. The poke combo came with a water, seaweed salad, rice and a bunch of salmon. You can choose either spicy or shoyu sauce (I got shoyu). It tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed it however I would recommend buying something else because it didn't quite fill me up. However overall really good. read more

Fresh delicious affordable seafood. Fried shrimps, oysters, & fish over fries. The Basa special roll has imitation crab inside with scallops and is topped with salmon, for only $10.50! They're known for their fresh tuna and salmon poke. Service was quick and ambiance is a local take-out only spot. read more

Visiting here in SF and this place is well known popular. I came here Tuesday right during opening and there was no line at all. This place is a take out only. I ordered the spicy salmon poke and fish ceviche, both were absolutely delicious. Well priced and some of the freshest and tastiest seafood. I would definitely be coming back to try all the other food on the menu! read more

Basa was so good on Friday that we ordered more over the weekend when we had some friends over. Needed delivery so opted for UberEats, but just a reminder, ordering pickup directly through them is cheaper. - spicy salmon - fresh with a bit of a kick. Ordered with rice to enjoy together - california roll - well filled with a perfect ratio of rice around it - basa special roll - scallop, crab meat, topped w salmon and masago - first time trying this and I really liked the balance and flavor of the seafood - shoyu salmon - was missing from the order... since the delivery was dropped off in the lobby, we couldn't follow up with the delivery driver. read more

Basa Seafood Express should be the cheapest Hawaiian-style poke in SF. Their poke bowls are very affordable, at $8.5 for salmon and $11 for tuna, either spicy or shoyu flavors. I ordered spicy salmon and upgraded to combo for $11.99, which came with: rice, seaweed salad, and a bottle of water. I also tried the fish ceviche (they offer both fish and shrimp options for $7), it's a great deal for the price honestly. But keep in mind that it's a takeout only restaurant, so there is no dine in seatings. Overall, the portions are generous and the fish tasted fresh. The flavor was decent, not the best poke I've had, but definitely not bad either. If you're looking for amazing poke, this may not be your spot. But if you want a filling, healthy and budget-friendly meal (which isn't easy in SF if you're not going for fast food), it's hard to beat the value here. read more

Basa Seafood Express - Poke Special Combo Rainbow Roll - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came by on a Friday night for dinner after seeing this place show up on my feed and I have to say that it did not disappoint. I wish we had the chance to come earlier in the day during lunch because they probably would have still had the ceviche, but they ran out by the time we arrived. We ordered the fried calamari special, shoyu salmon poke, shoyu tuna poke. We waited around 15 minutes for our order, which I assume was mainly due to the fried calamari. Fried Calamari - 5/5 - the texture was great and the tartar sauce was great Shoyu salmon poke - 5/5 Shoyu tuna poke - 5/5 Small steamed rice - lol nothing else to say about this but it was necessary for the poke-for me at least. ~~Service: Great. The cashier lady was super patient with us and didn't greet us until we went up to the payment counter. I prefer this because it feels like there's less pressure to decide what you want to get. ~~Best Part: Stress free ordering. ~~Worst Part: There's no place to eat within the restaurant so we took our food and walked over to a nearby park but there wasn't really any seating not in the direct sunlight so we ate on a patch of grass, but it was still enjoyable. I probably should have done the research before hand to know to bring a picnic blanket or something ~~Return: Yes. read more

've never been to a seafood market without that strong fishy smell, which honestly says a lot about how fresh the seafood is here. We ordered a few rolls, poke, a soft shell crab burger, and the seafood combo, and everything was delicious. I normally don't eat much raw fish, but the poke was packed with flavor. The rolls were huge, and the value for the price was really good too. The only letdown was the Saigon shrimp over rice. It was pretty underwhelming and nothing too special compared to everything else we ordered. It's mainly a takeout spot, so there's no seating available. Service was a bit slow, but they also seemed really busy with orders. read more

Basa Seafood Express is basically a little slice of Hawaii right here in San Francisco. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the poke keeps it simple so the quality really shines. I love the spicy salmon and shoyu tuna, plus a side of seaweed salad to build my own poke bowl at home or take to the park. The sushi is great too, and everything is super affordable. read more

Always consistent, delicious an fresh. I've been coming to this spot for a couple years now and I have been sure to pass it on to all my friends because of how reasonably priced it is. The shoyu salmon poke with some rice is a perfect lunch. The spicy salmon is a great contender. The service is quick and you can order ahead for pickup. No in-dining options but there is a park nearby to enjoy! read more

Seafood is the name of the game whenever you're making your first stop around the San Francisco. With the help of Yelp, good seafood was easy to find. Around the downtown area, it sits in it's own restaurant section amongst the busy streets. Regardless of it being busy, a lot of the establishments around are a quick grab and go. Just like Basa Seafood, which means parking isn't an issue! ‍‍ The establishment looks Asian family run and neatly organized. When asking for suggestions or even recommendations amongst the mid size menu, the great cravings and great seafood is well within reach and can't go wrong Affordable reach, I should also mention. While poke isn't cheap, the restaurant provides great portions and doesn't slack on the rice or even the sauce to make the poke amazing! Amazing isn't even an understatement at this point especially too! We got our lucky hands on two things. The spicy salmon can be summed in two words; spicy and light. Thankfully, those words go hand in hand. While the spiciness doesn't overpower the salmon, the salmon itself has such a light and natural taste. Paired with green onions and rice, it makes any poke lover recognize each little taste pallete that it has to offer. Secondly, the fried calamari we had a chance of trying also came with a spicy mayo sauce. The calamari itself? Fried to perfection, still crispy when you bite into itself and together with the sauce, it makes for a perfect savory snack! read more

A good deal for the price. Service is quick and easy. I got the Spicy Salmon ($8) & Shoyu Tuna Hawaiian Poke ($11) The fish always comes out so fresh. The serving could be a bit more but still not complaining for the quality I'm getting. Rice is extra $, a medium size is $3.. They also have a great selection of other fish and speciality rolls. read more

Needed a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. Tried the spicy salmon poke with a side of rice. This was yummy and surprisingly fresh. It does have a spicy kick to it and was so good. Perfect to share for 2 for a quick bite. We enjoyed it at a park nearby and it was so refreshing and flavorful. I really enjoyed it! read more

Food The salmon and tuna were incredibly fresh, and the sauce they were mixed with was perfectly balanced and tasted amazing. I usually prefer tuna over salmon, but the sauce was so good that I couldn't stop eating both. The poke comes in a container without rice by default, but they offer an option to add rice, which also includes seaweed salad. Overall, the food was super fresh and delicious! I'd definitely want to visit again and try more of what they offer. Service The service was quick and very friendly. Ambiance This is a fish-market-style spot with no seating available, making it strictly a takeout place. read more

Basa Seafood Express - Hawaiian Style Poke tuna and salmon - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been going to Basa Seafood for years while living in the Mission District, and it's always been one of my go to spots. My favorites are their salmon sashimi, which they slice fresh for you at the counter, and their spicy salmon poke, which never disappoints. I usually pick up in person, but lately I've been ordering delivery. This time I ordered the Sunset BLVD Roll, which had tuna, hamachi, and salmon inside, topped with avocado, roe, and a mix of sauces. I also got two California rolls (6PC) at $7 each, plus two spicy salmon poke rolls. I made rice at home, though in hindsight it probably would have been easier to just order their $2 rice and save myself the extra effort. I placed the order during lunch hour, so delivery did take quite a while, a little over an hour. That said, the quality was still great and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Basa Seafood remains a really solid spot, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Nothing can compare to basa. Amazing food, and so cheap for what you get. Great quality too!!!! I come back time and time again for the poke, fish and chips, fried shrimp, clam chowder bowl... you can't go wrong with anything here. They even have fresh ceviche and shrimp cocktail for only $7! So fresh too. I have zero complaints. They also opened up a new location in Castro valley and it's just as great!!!!! A staple in the mission for sure. read more

LOVE & OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE!! I get basa seafood all the time because it's so affordable and such great quality!! Everytime i come, I always get a poke (usually the spicy salmon poke or shoyu salmon) and a roll (spicy tuna or salmon roll). I always recommend this place to friends and it's perfect to eat by mission dolores park on a picnic when the weather is good! read more

Heard great things about this place upon arrival it's pretty basic looking, but don't let that fool you... I was overwhelmed with options and decided to get the scallop sandwich which was amazing packed with flavor. Fried scallops tasted very fresh on the sandwich. Only thing I wish is that there was more scallops on the sandwich because a couple of bites in and All I had was bread and mixed greens. My friend ordered the softshell crab sandwich. He said it was pretty good. I noticed as a popular place for delivery orders as I seen a lot of delivery drivers coming in grabbing orders read more

Quality is still top notch at this SF gem. I've been coming here since 2015 and it never disappoints! If you're new to Basa, parking can be a little tricky but I usually have good luck finding a spot on 23rd Street. The place is tiny with just two benches for waiting. No dine-in tables or bathrooms and plenty of locals stopping by for takeout. They take credit cards with a $10 minimum. There were about five people ahead of me but my order was ready in about 10 minutes. They give you a beeper so you can wait outside. Just don't wander too far! Here's what I ordered: Salmon Spicy Poke ($8) - 8/10 - Fresh and flavorful with that familiar marinade I love. It was a little less spicy than I remembered but nothing a dash of sriracha at home couldn't fix! Tuna Shoyu Poke ($11) - 7/10 - Solid quality and tasty. No complaints here. Personally, not a total fan of Tuna but I wanted to give this one a try. Negi Hama (Hamachi Roll) ($5.50) - 7/10 - [HEADS UP!!] this roll DOES NOT come with green onion. "Negi" actually means green onion, so I was a bit surprised when it was just hamachi. After checking old reviews and photos, it seems this is their usual way of making it. SF Bag Fee ($0.25) San Francisco. Enough said. Total: $26.86 read more

Affordable and very good for the price! My boyfriend and I shared a shoyu poke, spicy salmon poke, spicy tuna roll, and one small + one medium rice, all of which amounted to only around $30! We both agreed that the spicy salmon poke and spicy tuna roll were delicious, but felt that the shoyu poke fell short. The tuna had a strange fishy taste and the shoyu is given separate, so the fish is not actually marinated in sauce. Portions were on par with the price. The place is really small and definitely a hole in the wall that's become a local favorite. We ordered and got our food within 10 minutes. read more

Basa Seafood Express - Shoyu tuna poke, Spicy Salmon Poke, 108. Spicy Tuna Roll, Steam Rice Small (8 oz), Steam Rice Medium (12 oz) - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

For the price, you are getting some great quality poke! The fish tasted very fresh and melts in your mouth, and the spicy mayo was creamy and flavorful. The portions are smaller than you would expect from the images you see online, but I think they are fair considering how the poke is relatively cheap. The poke is already prepared and packaged into containers, and the people at the counter just hand it over to you and you pay-- the entire process was very quick. Be aware that there is no indoor seating besides a small bench. read more

Food: Salmon Spicy Poke Price: $8 Overall: For the past few years, I been eyeing this place because the price for poke was crazy! Parking here is a bit difficult, there was a nearby park/center(?) so I parked there. If you can get meter parking; it must be your lucky day! The place also sells sushi rolls, seafood sandwiches, fish tacos, clam chowder, etc. I picked the salmon spicy poke and it was soooooooo good!! I love that it doesn't have a fishy taste to it and the sauce is not overwhelming/underwhelming the fish. I also like the diced red onion to it. Bring rice or some wonton chips with it and you have yourself a meal! read more

This place is great. I followed the smell of fresh fish into the market, and for $17 and a one-minute wait, I bought two trays (one of spicy salmon and one of shoyu salmon), walked to Dolores Park, and assembled my poke bowl with some rice, avocado, and garlic chili crunch I'd brought from home. The sun was shining, my taste buds were in heaven, and life was good. Highly recommend. read more

A pretty basic deli experience. The staff was rang us up quickly and without issue. They definitely have a bare bones ambiance here but the food more than makes up for it. Our favorites were the clam chowder and the poke. Those were really great versions of each. The clam chowder was thicc with two Cs and had plenty of clam and bacon. The spicy salmon poke was a good spice level and extremely fresh. We also ordered a salmon burger - really simple, fresh ingredients, potato bun, but missing that extra special element. Garlic fries were crinkle cut fries with tons of fresh chopped garlic, so make sure you know that when you order! We also ordered the Sunset Blvd Roll which was chock full of fresh fish. We would have liked a crunchy tempura element but it didn't come with that. The amount of fish inside the roll was impressive enough. Overall, the prices were good and the fish was fresh. Couldn't ask for much else! read more

I was craving sushi & saw this spot on Yelp. It looked like a casual, seafood "express" store from the photos so I thought I would get my food quickly, but I was wrong. There are several refrigerators showcasing fresh fish from poke to whole slabs of fish. I ordered salmon poke (which was already made to order), salmon nigiri & clam chowder soup & I waited about 30 minutes! The food was good but the wait was crazy. Be safe & just order ahead of time! read more

I've been to Basa Seafood twice now after seeing all the hype on TikTok. The prices are definitely reasonable, but the portions are on the smaller side. The spicy salmon poke was so cooked, it was almost seared. The rice was hard, and we found strands of hair in 2 of our items, which was slightly off putting. The one redeeming factor is that the fish does taste fresh, and the basa special roll was the best thing we had. Overall, this place is overhyped. read more

Decided to give this spot a try after seeing it all over social media! It is the truth that you can order a poke bowl for only $8, but don't expect it to come with any rice or toppings since the $8 will only cover your protein. Some rice can be ordered on the side for an additional $1.50, but it won't be the most fresh. Their fish quality was decent for the price, and their sauces were delicious. I also tried some of their salmon rolls since they seemed pretty affordable, but these were nothing spectacular. Overall, I'd come here if I were in the area for the protein (not the rice) but likely skip on the rolls. Definetly worth giving it a try if you're into poke! Since this is a small shop, there's no seating area and you'll have to take your food to go :( read more

This is a good place for affordable take-out sushi and seafood. There are two benches for waiting, but no dine-in option. The area around the store is sketchy, but it's the Mission, so no surprise there. There were couple homeless guys loitering outside. Even though I parked right in front of the store, I had to glance over at my car a few times while waiting for my food to make sure they weren't breaking into my car or anyone else's car. In general, the cooked food was better than the raw fish, as the lower quality fish is more apparent when prepared raw. Our favorites were: Pink Salmon Roll (California roll topped with cooked salmon), fried calamari tentacles, garlic fries, and spicy salmon poke. The fried calamari tentacles were huge. Garlic fries were super garlicky. Although the spicy salmon poke was raw, the sauce was flavorful. 1 star off: The remaining sushi rolls that we tried -- Hawaiian roll (raw salmon and hamachi roll topped with tuna and avocado) and Basa Special Roll (California roll with itty bitty scallop topped with raw salmon) -- were less impressive. The lower fish quality stood out when prepared raw and did not have much flavor. You had to add soy sauce to the sushi for some flavor. The portions were good, but the quality was only a tad above grocery store sushi. read more

one of the best spots in the city to get fresh poke/sashimi. good value, plenty of options (cooked, raw, fried seafood). i always get the shoyu salmon poke, this time i tried the shoyu tuna and had sashimi and a rainbow roll. service is fast. they have buzzers they give you so you know when to come up to pick up your order. inside has no seats - be prepared to eat outside and find somewhere to sit like dolores park or one of the small playgrounds around mission. i come at least once a month! excited to go back again. read more
