We really love this place. It's always so fresh and we love eating in store as well. They are so kind and it's fresh and delicious! It's especially good for me because I'm allergic to nightshades so I can pick exactly what I want in the bowl and know it's safe for me to eat! I usually get a bowl, the hubby tried the sushirito and loved it he liked that he could taste all the ingredients in every bite. We just love this place so much. read more

This place was okay. The small scoop of protein is lacking, I asked for salad and they filled my bowl up with that and toppings. I got the 3 protein bowl which would usually have protein in every bite, but this didn't. A plus was they had pickled daikon and when I asked for extra ginger, they did not disappoint. I usually have to ask for even more ginger at other places. I had to ask for more sauce though. The restaurant is small, a couple of small tables, one side of the wall had a long counter which we sat at. A small gnat flew around our food and we had to swat at it, so we hurried up to eat. Like I originally said, this place is okay. read more

I ordered a large bowl because I was pretty hungry and it was only filled halfway. Not joking. The large bowl was literally halfway with all the toppings, rice and protein. As expensive as this was (about $20 a bowl) I won't be back. Rip off. Unfortunately it might be hard to tell from the angle of the photo I'm posting. I do not recommend coming here unless you want a snack. read more

Hula Poke - Build your own poke bowl. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

Looking for something different that was low carb, high protein but also not too heavy, I came across hula poke. The inside is a cafeteria/deli style, create your own bowl down the line ordering with a lot of options to choose from. I can't honestly remember all the options I put in my bowl as there were soo many to choose from but my bowl was delicious. The proteins, veggies and sauces I added were all my favorites so it couldn't disappoint. All my proteins were some sort of seafood which kept the overall meal light yet satisfying. Overall, I really liked Hula Poke and look forward to coming back to try a different combination of ingredients and come up with a new favorite. read more

Food was fresh. We tried the combo A and it was a lot of food. The staff was attentive and helpful

The owner is rude and she will rush you, but the food is good. Sadly, the portions are small and not worth the price.

This review is for the boba drink. We ordered two Taro boba milk tea. It wasn't mixed well and we had some powder in the bottom of our drinks that we needed to be mixed. The drink itself tasted more like milk. I couldn't taste any tea flavor. The boba is chewy and tasted good. I wouldn't be back for their drinks but I'm willing to come back to try their poke bowls. read more

Made my husband take me here on a Monday evening when I was craving poke bowls. We each got a bowl and an order of Takoyaki. I must say I was disappointed in the cookie-scooper protein portions. Not exaggerating on the cookie scooper. Rice was also hard from it being so cold. But I did like all the topping and sauce options, which made it pretty good. My husband got shrimp tempura in his bowl and the girl made it when he ordered it so it was fresh. The highlight of the meal was the Takoyaki. I was pretty impressed with the crispyness and flavor. Overall it was just okay and did the trick for my craving. I wish their protein scoops were bigger than a little spoon. Service was friendly as well! read more

Hula Poke - three bowls of food on a table - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience at this location was honestly disappointing. The employee who helped me was rude and made me feel completely rushed while I was trying to build my bowl. She didn't even let me finish telling her what I wanted before moving on, which made the whole ordering process stressful instead of enjoyable. Because of that, I didn't leave a tip, if she had been friendlier and given me the time to actually finish my order, I absolutely would have tipped. As for the food, the bowl itself was decent, but not great. I'd give it a 6.5/10. The flavors were fine, but the service really left a bad taste in my mouth. With so many poke places around, I don't think this location is the best option. If customer service improved, it could easily be a spot I'd return to, but for now, I'm not in a rush to come back. read more

Craving for some Japaneezee poke, this is the joint. A nice service from the front lady (the owners sis), and the place is just nice to dine in with. Calm ambiance to enjoy your meal. read more

Hula Poke - Own build poke - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

We stopped by here for a quick lunch and were instantly greeted. I was initially hesitant in coming here mainly because I genuinely didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh everything looked and tasted. They had lots of options including spicy tuna, ahi tuna, salmon and even eel. I liked the choice to have brown rice instead of sushi rice if you so choose. My husband and I really enjoyed our bowls. I didn't however think it was worth the $46 to eat here, I would have rather gone out for sushi or something else instead BUT for poke & the times, I guess it's okay. I would eat here again if I was close by but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Rude service! She interrupts you in the middle your sentence. Bad attitude! This place is always empty I think I know why.

I have tried this Hula Poke location a couple of times and each time have been really disappointed. The rice is hard and does not taste fresh and their salmon always smells and tastes like it has gone bad. read more

The customer service was not very inviting. I felt rushed even though I was the only person ordering. The food quality and portions were disappointing as well. I asked for 50/50 base of rice and lettuce and receive rice with a sprinkle of lettuce. The rice was also old and under cooked. read more

Very poor food quantity! You pay $17 for " 3 scoop protein " but you get 1 and 1/2 scoop in total. read more

worst location, terrible service!!! lady is so rude and stingy about the portions she gives and then wants to overcharge for it.

The service and attention to detail has gone down. You pay per protein yet I got the wrong protein (crab stick instead of salmon) and the other was laughable. I got two tiny bits of tuna. Just awful all around. Oh and they don't remove the tail from their tempura shrimp so be ready for that surprise when you bite into their burrito. read more

By far one of the worst poke bowls for the price they charge, basically a bowl of rice and barley any protein, it's a shame, y'all should charge less for the amount of quality of the actual bowl. read more

Hula Poke used to be my go-to for poke but had a really negative experience with my last delivery order - got the 2 protein scoop bowl and the amount of fish was laughable -there were literally 3 pieces of fish. Not sure what kind of spoon they use to measure a "scoop"... Maybe a baby spoon? Also there was a piece of hair found on one of the toppings! read more

Hula Poke - a close up of a plate of food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

Inside was very humid, white rice I got was hard, and kind of expensive for a large amount of white rice and about 7 pieces of salmon with a light drizzle of sauce. Once I got home and added extra sauce I had, got better. I've had this at a different location and was much better at a different restaurant read more

My daughter and I called in our order for pick up on our way home from Pipe Creek back to Converse. We called at 8:30pm. Their scheduled hours were until 9:30 here on Yelp. We would get to the restaurant to pick up our food just after 9pm. Perfect right? However during the current pandemic, like more businesses they close early. So we were very surprised to find out they had closed at 8pm! They did NOT decline service and tell us they are already closed. These wonderful people took our order. To top it off...Knowing we would not be there for another 30 minutes, they still fulfilled our order. They even waited a little bit to make the order as fresh as possible knowing I wouldn't be there right away. They were incredibly kind and delightful people. Their food is so fresh and delicious! It was our first time ever trying the Sushirito and I was amazed at how delicious it was! My daughter also ordered a sushirito and absolutely loved it. My husband ordered a Poke bowl with everything spicy he could possible get. The lady gave him a bonus side of wasabi aioli, saying she thinks he would enjoy it. He did! He LOVED it! This is now our favorite place to stop for food on our way back into San Antonio from visiting my parents land. read more

Totally recommend this restaurant for consistently good poke near Helotes. I've been here several times, always getting the 2 scoop salmon bowl. Fish is always tasting fresh and there are a variety of topping options. Service has always been fast and reliable. The bowl looks small, but it's definitely enough for one person. read more

Hula Poke - 2 protein poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

This was my first time and IT WAS AWESOME!!! The place is great, great atmosphere, very clean & amazing service!! Soon as my sister and I walked in the server Haley greeted us & asked have we been there before, once we told he no she immediately began to advise how it works. She did a great job at explaining the process & describing the menu to us. She made excellent recommendations. I ordered 2 scoop protein bowl (chicken, shrimp tempura, broccoli, spinach, jalapeño, red onions, red cabbage, house classic dressing, toppings wonton crisps, crab salad. My sister order 2 protein bowl as well with Chicken and shrimp tempura lettuce cucumbers sweetcorn with the house classic dressing her toppings were avocado and also Wonton crisps. We were both happy with our selection!! We will be back!! Great job Haley!! read more

Rude customer service getting mad just because I asked fora printed receipt of purchase

This is the first poke place I have ever been to. It seems like the new trend for restaraunts to to have a theme (for example: poke) and then have it set up, basically like a Subway where you can mix and match and get any kind of combination that you want! I absolutely love this concept because I am such a picky eater!! So I basically can order what I want and don't have to be worried about them leaving something on that I do not like or anything along those lines.... you get my drift... right? Anyways... my girlfriend convinced me we should try this place out. The first time we went, I decided to get a sushi burrito! Let me start off by saying, I don't do the raw fish yet... I am trying but the texture is taking awhile for me to get used to! So for now, I am sooo thankful they have a couple options of cooked meat like there shrimp and chicken! I love the fact that they have your proteins, your veggies and then sauces and then various toppers to give you an extra crunch factor if you love texture... which I do! I was not all that fond of the burrito... but its completely personal preference. I just didn't like the cold seaweed wrap. I ended up scraping everything out onto me little tray and just ate the filling. Which was delicious! I was somewhat skeptical and it all being cold... but it was super refreshing and light. The second time we went, I obviously went with a bowl instead of a burrito and let me tell you... even if I did like the burrito... the bowl would always be my choice! In my opinion you get so much more product for the bowl.. I wasn't even able to finish mine! I only got a few veggies this time and once they realized that... they went back and added more of the ones I selected which was awesome because Edamame is one of my FAVORITE things to eat!! Love love love it!!! I definitely love all the sauces you can choose from, it can make each combination a different experience. And I love all the crunchy toppings you have to choose from! It is easily becoming one of my favorite places and is me and my roommates 'go-to' place whenever we don't want something greasy or super heavy! These pictures don't do it justice and I cannot wait to try other combinations and hopefully one day I can work in some salmon or tuna!! read more

Hula Poke - Sushi Bars Near Me - Helotes, Texas

My son wanted to go here today. I was open to it. I am a big fan of sushi. I liked this place and didn't like it. First of all, I did somewhat enjoy my sushirito, which is like a giant burrito-sized sushi roll with whatever contents you select rolled up into it. Unfortunately, that is what I didn't like about it. I don't like having to go through a line picking stuff to put on mine. I have a tendency to put too many things and lose the taste integrity of the elements I really like. I ended up with a semi-pleasant mismatched blob of "semi-sushi" tasting stuff. I was full. I liked the taste. But, I left craving sushi. With a tip, we spent over $51.22. I think I would rather go to a real sushi restaurant and really get what I like at that price. read more

I was in a new area and craving sushi. Hula poke was the first restaurant to pop up on yelp, it also had great reviews so I figured I would head out there. The first thing that struck me was the set up. It reminded me of a chipotle-style venue. You tell them what you want in your bowl. The price a dictated by the amount of protein you would like in your bowl. You can choose between two and three scoops. Additionally, you can get a burrito, but I wanted a bowl with sushi rice this time. You can choose from specific bowls (those are in the menu) or you can choose to make your own. I chose to make my own. I went down to line adding in whatever I thought looked good. The time came for me me to choose my sauce. I asked a staff member what they thought would work with my combination, that recommendation was great. I think it was a combination of spicy garlic and something else. I topped my creation with ginger and went on my way. The flavors worked really well together. I loved that The sauce brought everything together. The bowl was surprisingly filling. The rice and veggies were the perfect addition to my Saturday night. Would love to come here again. read more

Decided to give this place a try and they were not busy at all the night we went. Ladies, were just sitting around on their phones. One poke bowl with 2 proteins and extra toppings came out to $17, a bit pricey but thought as long it was good it would be worth it. Well... once we got home, realized they shorted us big time on the proteins. Maybe less than a 1/4 cup of spicy salmon and tuna combined. I would've expected a whole lot more protein for the price we paid. It not being busy and close to closing, no excuse. Needless to say, will not be trying this place again. read more

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. You aren't able to order down the line so they will make it with the smallest amounts possible. Both staff members had attitudes and the sushi burrito I ordered was poorly made and incorrect. I told and they said it was my fault. I wouldn't dine here ever again. read more

Made a good sushirito. The menu is pretty easy to understand. The ingredients where fresh.

When I walked through the door, I was impressed how clean and organized everything was, and when a place serves raw fish, that definitely gave me a warm and fuzzy. After exploring the menu, I decided on the two protein bowl with salmon, spicy tuna, and white rice. I added some crispy veggies, chose my toppings and crunchies, topped everything with the house dressing, and set out to enjoy my bowl. The fish tasted clean and sweet. Even the spicy tuna tasted fresh, and had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor of the fish. The veggies were also fresh and impeccably crisp, but when I took a bite of the krab salad, the enjoyment stopped there. Although most krab salads don't taste like real crab, they generally have a slightly sweet flavor to them, without any "off" odors. This krab not only had an off odor, it tasted extremely "fishy" (old), and was completely inedible. This fish was far past its' prime! So I removed the offending fish from my bowl, placed it on the metal tray, and continued with the remainder of my meal, which I enjoyed. I stopped at the counter before leaving to advise the woman of the unpalatable food, and very politely suggested she might want to check into it. She became quite defensive and told me this krab has a different taste, but it wasn't bad. She then rolled her eyes at the girl standing next to her as I began walking away. I can assure you the flavor of this fish was unpleasant, and it reeked of the familiar ammonia odor seafood develops as it ages. The fact she chose to provide excuses instead of pulling it from the cooler, tells me far more about this establishment than its food. My advise: If you choose to patronize this establishment, stay clear of the krab salad, and be sure to get a good whiff of the fish you ordered prior to taking a bite. If you find the quality of your meal isn't up to par, don't expect resolution from the staff. I'm glad I didn't get sick that evening, and I sure hope no one does! I'm giving this establishment 3 stars because the entire experience was not horrible. The employee I dealt with should definitely be retrained, or they are bound to lose business. read more

If I could give this place 0 starts I would. Terrible food and even WORSE customer service, asked for a 3 scoop protein, might as well have given me one. My salad had old brown lettuce and when I asked for fresh lettuce the lady snapped at me , threw away my whole bowl and said I needed to leave (with my 8 year old daughter). Other people eating couldn't even believe it, and said she was extremely rude to them as well. The two people behind me even followed me out saying, that was their first time there but they couldn't believe how nasty and rude the lady was to me, just because I asked for fresh lettuce. read more

What a great find! We adore sushi and first time here. This place offers a sushirrito which is just like having a sushi roll that's uncut you eat all by yourself and don't have to share. You get to go through the line and pick from the protein to vegetables to sauces that you want on it. The results are fantastic, everything is very fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

Came back a second time and brought my friend she was a first timer. We both ordered poke bowls with two proteins which came out to 21.95 it's a little pricy but it's a good amount of food we had almost a whole bowl between both our leftovers. (even tho someone in here is arguing about not getting enough food lmao). It's usually quiet in there which is nice for a calm meal. read more
