Was craving poke and wanted to check a new place out in my area. Got the regular sized bowl, which comes with 3 scoops of your choice of protein. This place definitely doesn't skimp out on toppings! There's so many to choose from including crab salad and hot cheeto dust! While the bowl seemed large, honestly I wasn't full after eating it. The bowl is definitely on the more pricy end, so I would want to be at least satisfied but sadly I wasn't. Maybe I was just way too hungry LOL. Overall a great place though read more

Bayside Poke - Regular bowl - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

I didn't feel like sitting in traffic one day and I was craving poke. Did a quick search in the area and this place popped up. It had pretty good reviews and was on the way home so I decided to give it a shot. Upon walking in I was greeted by a nice young fellow who helped me with my order. I did the build your own bowl regular size which is three scoops of protein. I usually get all ahi tuna, but when I saw they had eel I was so excited. This was the first place that i've been to that serves eel as one of their protein choices. So I did one scoop of eel, and two ahi tuna. They were very decent sized scoops too. Some places skimp out. Then for the toppings they had all the usual toppings you'd see at a poke place. I got my usual, cucumber, onions, masago, mango, seaweed salad, and they throw on some crab salad on there for free. I forgot what I put for sauces, I know for sure I had unagi and spicy mayo, and I believe I had the house sauce too. I was very happy with my meal, nothing was left. Everything was fresh, and lot's of flavor. Was very happy with the eel. I thought my total was going to come out to way more because of the eel, but nope. It came out to how much I would usually pay for a poke bowl anywhere else. If you're ever in the Newark area..I would def recommend trying this place. read more

Bayside Poke - broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables in a bowl - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

This was my first time going here and I gotta say the poke here was mediocre. The toppings like crab salad, seaweed, edamame, and etc were all good. However, the rice was a bit hard and the quality of the fish was only okay. One of the pieces of the yellowtail had a small hint of sour taste but the rest tasted fine. read more

I got the regular with 3 scoops of salmon and all the toppings haha. Everything was super fresh and it was the first time I tried hot Cheetos as a topping. The girl who made my bowl was super nice and generous! They have a lot of indoor seating but we opted to sit on the bench outside since it was such a nice day! read more

Bayside Poke - a person holding a bowl of food with chopsticks - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

Awesome poke place! Their portion sizes are great here and very filling. I think what stands out from other poke places is that they'll torch your fish if you don't want it fully raw. They also have a lot of toppings here and pretty much have everything that I would want from a poke restaurant. There is also a lot of seating. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Poke usually disappoints me around the Bay Area... but this place HOOKS IT UP! You really get your money's worth at Bayside. Their fish is super fresh, especially the salmon and tuna. They also only up charge you for avocado, understandably, but all other toppings come free of charge - which I love. Who wants to pay extra anyways? They even have this amazing hot cheeto puff topping option. Thanks!! We'll be back! read more

Great poke option. Got the large size, which was just the right amount (may have been hungry with regular). There is a large variety of protein offered... large size comes with 4 scoops. The serving size was generous, so each bite I took had some protein. They also have a large variety of items to add, including some less common stuff like mango. My only complaint was that there was slightly too much sauce. Price is reasonable at about $15 read more

Bayside Poke - Customized Bayside - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

I ordered through Uber Eats and I didn't regret ordering the Bayside Poke with half salad and half brown rice. Everything was still fresh through delivery but I did regret ordering their spam musubi. It was not flavorful with the Furikake, so I had to add more salt on the rice. Overall the service was fast and nice. read more

Serving barely anything on my bowl? I asked if he can put more because the bowl is %75 full and bro says I need to pay extra. Give better portions read more

This is a really good Poke Spot. Fresh fish, friendly staff, good toppings, fast service...what's not to like? Way better than the limited options at the food court at Newpark mall. read more

Bayside Poke - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

This is hands down my favorite poke place ever! I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this place. I always come here whenever I'm craving poke. As soon as I walk in, I'm instantly greeted by the super friendly employees and quickly start working on my bowl, unlike other poke places this place makes sure to give you a generous portion of fish and free toppings! You are definitely going to get full off of a regular bowl. The quality of the food is also top of the line, and they're very attentive and quick. The place is super clean and has a nice and simple aesthetic with not too much going on. Definitely deserves more than 5 stars, thank you for keeping my tummy happy! :) read more

Bayside Poke - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

I've gone back multiple times since my last review. I'm always happy with the food and customer service. The prices are very competitive with other poke places as well. It'd be really cool if they could add a white truffle sauce in addition to their offerings like the one at Yardhouse. It's so delicious and truffle oil to make the sauce is relatively cheap nowadays. I'll be back! read more

This is definitely one of my go to spots when I'm ever in the Fremont area for Poke! I love the service, I love the fresh fish, and I love how easy it is to order from here. When you walk in, they have a big sign that says how to order in terms of steps, any specials they have, and also a big sign that says, "We can't poke without you"...how cute is that? This poke place does offer a variety of fresh fish such as tuna, salmon, yellow tail, octopus, and marinated tuna. What I love about this place is when they grab the seafood for your poke, they give a generous amount (yay!). You can also add in onions, tofu, and crab salad. For sauces they have a huge variety such as shoyu, lemon grass ponzu, spicy mayo, sesame oil, etc. You are allowed to mix the sauces too if you wanted to not just have one. A unique thing about this place is they have this hot sauce and if you wanted to add it in you can! Just let them know if you want 1 drop, 2 drops, 3 drops, etc. I usually get 1 drop and that right there makes it spicy enough. In terms of their toppings they have a lot to choose from similar to other poke places. You can top off your poke with furikake, sesame seeds, togarashi and even cheetos! I highly recommend this place because the service here is top notch, amazing fresh fish, and they have a huge variety of toppings to choose from. read more

Grabbed lunch here with a friend after our hike on a Saturday afternoon. The staff was super friendly and quick! There were lots of topping options; I personally enjoyed the mango/ pineapple topping. However, knocking off one star because I paid extra for avocado & it wasn't ripe so it was hard. I also wish they cut the Tako pieces smaller like other poke joints as it was pretty chewy. read more

This review is long overdue but I consider this place to be one of my favorite poké spots in the East Bay. Bayside Poké is located in a small shopping center near Newpark Mall. The fish and other portions available to add on are so fresh and flavorful. There are options to add on such as the salmon, crab salad, tuna, seaweed, avocado ($1 extra), pineapple, edamame, masago, spicy Mayo, ponzu, house dressing and a variety of others. The salmon is personally my favorite and I normally order extra salmon. One interesting option I found there and it never crossed my mind to add this on to my bowl were the crushed hot Cheetos. I decided to give it a try and surprisingly it tasted so delicious that I will definitely keep doing this in the future. The staff are very friendly! If you believe that you were served a small portion of salmon, for example, and you politely ask for a bit more, the staff are kind of enough to do as you requested. You really get your money's worth at this place! Also, COVID precautions and safety are enforced (masks on, no indoor or outdoor dining, social distancing, etc.). I highly recommend Bayside Poké if you're ever in the mood for some delicious poke or some fish. read more

I have a hard time trying new places after I've found my go-to for a specific type of food. With the onset of the poke bowl fad, I've found most places lacking, especially at the standard price point of $12-$15. However I had a particular hankering when I was close by to Bayside and decide to give them a shot. Tbh the deciding factor was the hot Cheetos topping so hats off to whoever made the decision for that niche. Service was pretty good, I arrived there an hour or so after the lunch rush. I usually get salmon and yellowtail and the fish was very fresh. IMO the thing that sets poke bowl places apart besides that is the topping selection. They don't have Japanese pickles or some of the more interesting ones I can find at other places but they have furikake, fried onions, and of course the hot Cheetos. The other offerings like edamame and seaweed salad were pretty good but the edamame was a little tough. Overall it's a good spot for some poke. They have good sauces and a solid selection to build a nice bowl. I can see myself coming back here. read more

Bayside Poke - Large bowl with hot cheeto topping - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

This place offers friendly and fast service for poke. AAND for cheap on Wednesdays! A regular bowl costs $12 and they give you a lot. You can even get extra seaweed salad and masago for free if you ask... that's so crazy and that's so nice of them! Definitely a place to stop by if you are craving for some poke and if you're in the area. I asked about the spicy drops that they had but I forgot to add it to my bowl (since you should add it when they are mixing the protein ingredients together) - will try that next time when I come back! I would recommend it if you want something spicy or a little extra kick to your bowl! read more

Bayside Poke - Regular bowl with crab salad, hamachi, tuna, and salmon - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

I came to Bayside Poke to get a Poké bowl. I have never had an issue there before and I probably order from there once a month. The gentleman spoke very little English and had a very thick accent. He had bleached blonde hair. He was very helpful customer service wise. Unfortunately, when I went home to eat my Poké bowl there was a huge black Plastic piece in my Poké bow (see the picture). I tried to call and speak to a manager. There was never one present. When I asked the blonde gentleman for his name, he would not give it to me, even though he just served me in person. It's very disappointing to find crazy stuff in your food when you've already eaten some of it. I wish they would take the time to serve fresh items and look through their food ordered . I can only assume that this came from the mixed greetings or rice that were added, since they are, the only thing added in abundance. Very disappointed. read more

This is probably one of my favorite poke places in this area! I got the regular bowl which comes with 3 scoops of protein. There's brown rice, sushi rice, and mixed greens to choose from and you can do half and half (half rice and half mixed greens). It was interesting that they will sear your protein if you ask them to, which I have never seen at any another poke place, so I gave it a try and I liked it! The ingredients are fresh and they're very generous with the protein and other toppings. They even have hot cheetos as a topping! There are a lot of sauces to choose from too. Would highly recommend this place! read more

What happened Bayside Poke? You were my favorite spot to get poke bowls... but today, my poke bowl was not that great. Rice was cold and clumpy, fish was a bit fishy tasting , garlic chips were stale and chewy. I was so disappointed. read more

Bayside Poke is prob one of the better poke places I've had in a really long time. I think it definitely deserves more attention. For me personally, the poke hype died down and I didn't have much expectations for this place bc I wasn't super interested in poke like I used to be but I was pleasantly surprised. My friend and I came in at around 2pm. We ordered right away. I got a regular bowl which comes with 3 scoops of fish. They didn't have spicy tuna which is one of my favorites but it was ok. They have the main popular fishes which is fine. They have a ton of toppings and I got majority of them. If you check in on yelp you can get a free scoop of avocado. Free crab salad and seaweed salad ah!!! The person who served us gave us VERY GENEROUS amounts of everything. The dry toppings at the end were definitely amazing. The hot cheetos were actually mashed into fine dust and didn't resemble the last leftover bits of the hot cheetos in the bag which I really liked. Fried garlic was so good. It totaled to $11.52 which was definitely worth it for the amount I was getting. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Definitely will be back. read more

Just recently moved here and I knew I was going to miss my local Ahi Poki spot back in the SGV. I'm so glad I was able to find a replacement locally! The portions are fair and the price is UNBEATABLE. The rice and greens are always fresh and the employees are always friendly. One thing about poki spots is that they're ALWAYS WARM INISDE. Soon as you walk in it's stuffy and it's because the owner is trying to cut down costs on the a/c and keeping the fridges running to keep the ingredients fresh, but not this place!! This place feels cool as you walk in and very comfortable enough to sit down and have your meal. The spam mesubis are great too! I think they blanch them because they're not super salty even though they cook them with their own sauce! Anyways, I love this place and I will always frequent it. I've tried other poke spots in and around the city and nothing compares :-)) read more

Bayside Poke - 3 scoop Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

Friend and I were craving poke and decided to swing by this new spot that was within walking distance from her place. It's small and clean, with plenty of options.

A little less on the fish side, but overall really amazing! read more

Bayside Poke - Poke time! - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

I ordered the build your own bowl option and added Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and Spicy Tuna w/ a base of spring mix! I also asked to have seaweed salad, veggies & crab salad. For other additional toppings, I added pickled ginger, garlic chips, sesame seeds, & furikake. It turned out pretty good! The fish was fresh & delicate to the bite! It had a lot of flavor (incorporated unagi, ponzu, & spicy mayo) which made the bowl delicious. However, I was disappointed on the portion of fish I got in my bowl. It was little scoops of fish & I felt like I should've gotten at least a bit more than just little scoops. I also thought the left over bits of skin on the fish was strange but I guess that's their style? Or maybe proof that their fish IS fresh?haha nevertheless, I would still come back just because it actually tastes pretty good! read more

This is go-to poke place during work lunch hours. I always go during off-peak hours so it's never crowded and service is quick. They have all the typical toppings and sauces you'd expect a poke place to have, but it's really all about the fish quality that makes a poke place to me. Fish quality is good and I love that they offer marinated tuna! I think that's how OG Hawaiian poke is supposed to be done and having that option is nice. It's definitely one of the better and more reasonably priced poke places I've been to. read more

My daughter and I were craving for poke and happened to be in the Newark area. Yelped and this place popped up with the most stars ..the stars were well deserved...the protein (we had the tuna, salmon and shrimp) were fresh, and so were the veggies and fruits. The crab salad wasn't slobbered with Mayo (thank Gawd) and their sauces were spot on. Staff were super nice and helpful..I had a hard time deciding which sauce to add and one asked the right question..do you like your sauce sweet? Heck yah. Highly recommend this poke place..taking a star off since their neon sign outside was off and I had to drive around the parking lot at least 3x to finally find them read more

Tried this place out as a change from my normal poke spot, and I'm pretty disappointed by it tbh. The price of the bowl is average ($15) but they load the bowl up with rice and barely any fish. Normally a bowl can last me two meals but I could count maybe 9 or 10 cubes of salmon in total. The taste is just okay, not very memorable and there are definitely better places to go. read more

Bayside Poke - Customize Your Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Newark, California

So I've only had poke bowls a handful of times and those were in NY. Maybe when the idea first popped up, there weren't that many options and the ones around we're just okay so it never really made a good impression on me. Well, here I am at day 2 of my diet so poke bowl it is! Came here given the high ratings and 3 proteins seemed like more than usual so we decided to come here. The place has a good amount of seating and is pretty clean, new spot. I made a custom bowl, but there are premade signature ones you can pick from if you don't feel like building your own. The fish was pretty fresh. I liked how they had regular tuna and marinated tuna. Ofc I opted for the marinated one which was good. You get unlimited toppings. They had a lot of choices. They do charge extra for the crab salad which I added. With yelp check in, you get a free scoop of avocado which was a nice add. I chose the lemongrass ponzu, but didn't really taste the lemongrass. The sauce was light so my salad wasn't drenched in sauce. That's not a bad thing for me. They also have spam musuba which was okay. It was pretty good here and I would come back. read more

Very very small and limited vegetarian options. The tofu is dry and not tasty, the portions are small and somehow this place is always out of avocado but they only tell you at the end. Totally not justifying the price. Better add 3 minutes to your trip and go to the one on auto mall. read more

I purposely drive over to Newark to get my poke here. I usually get brown rice with salmon, marinated tuna, and hamachi as my proteins. Then I go ham on the toppings. I think if you want an additional scoop of crab salad, there's a charge, but 1 scoop is good enough for me. As for sauces, I love unagi and ponzu. There's a few "dry" toppings at the end, including hot cheetos powder (I have not tried this yet...). Can't go wrong here. Service is friendly and quick and compared to other poke places, the prices are reasonable. Plus it's in a big shopping center with plenty of parking. read more

This place has large serving sizes! The protein is very fresh and delicious. I had the brown rice with , ahi tuna, spicy tuna, regular tuna, and avocado (1.50$+).

Not much seating room inside the establishment so I feel it might be more for like a take out place but there are seatings available outside. read more

I am writing this to share my feedback on the bowl that I got today. I notice that management is active on their Yelp page, so that is great. Customer Service: 5/5 As soon as I walked in, the gal stopped what she was doing to greet me and help me with my order. She was super friendly, and efficient, and I appreciate that. Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 5/5 $20 for a large bowl is reasonable. (I paid extra for a scoop of avocado) Quality of food: 3/5 My rice was dry, and did not taste like sushi rice as advertised. It was plain rice. I got the unagi, and shoyu sauce and they both tasted and looked diluted. While the fish was fresh, I had to pull out 2 bones. I get it, accidents happen. Despite the great customer service, cleanliness of the place and fair price, I was a bit disappointed with the food. I hope that this is just an anomaly and that I came on a bad day. I will def give it another try because I have had better here before! read more

Ok guys, What the heck do you put in your poke bowls that makes me crave them all the time?I swear I tell myself that I will limit to coming here to just once a month; yea that's not happening.
