I was craving some poke and this was the closest spot. The only issue I had with my experience was that I came here for the first time pregnant lol. The proteins looked so yummy! The young lady at the counter was very nice as well! I ended up getting basically like a California roll bowl. Even so, it was pretty good! I will def come back after giving birth! read more

Amazing place to stop by for poke - few tables for dine in but looks like a good place for takeout. So many toppings and side options and you can load it all up. I'm not sure why a few reviews commented on poor quality fish- at least for my experience, the fish were all fresh and delicious. Even the tuna didn't have the "fishy" taste and all were amazing. Free avocado too! Staff were superrrr friendly and attentive. Free yakult as well. This was an awesome find and I'm definitely coming back after roads trips in the future! read more

Local Poke - Medium Poké Bowl - Poke Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Me and my boyfriend were in the area doing errands and we were hungry. We came across this place and wanted to try it out. The interior is small with a couple of tables available to sit from. The menu was pretty easy to read and they had a variety of items to choose from! Medium Poke Bowl(5/10): For my base I got half kelp noodles and cucumbers. For my protein I got salmon, marinated tuna, and volcano tuna--mixed with spicy mayo and spicy poke house sauce. For toppings I had spicy tuna, spicy crab mayo, corn, green onions, masago, mango, kimchi, black tobiko, and pickled radish. I thought the choices I made were lackluster. I felt like there was a lot of kelp noodles, and it didn't add flavor. I didn't like the marinated tuna cause I felt like it was more on the sweeter side. The volcano tuna was super spicy, but the flavor profile was there. I think if I were to choose my protein again, it wouldn't be those options. Service(10/10): The worker was super nice and friendly. They were pretty fast and it looked like it was just one person working at the store. No complaints here. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming here again, but it was still worth a try! read more

Lilo and Stitch made a huge mistake and completely forgot to represent the poke from Hawaii. Trying Authentic Hawaiian style Poke from a good place will send you straight into a plane all the way to Hawaii. Unfortunately poke from the Bay Area doesn't do Hawaii any justice and Local Poke isnt a break from the routine and is true disappointment. I wish I could say that Im exaggerating, but ive tried this place twice. This place was lucky that I even considered giving it a second chance and yet again a huge let down. I searched high and low constantly scrolling through yelp, google, and Uber Eats trying to find Poke Nachos with Wonton Chips. As delicious and simple as that sounds it's a dish that is extremely difficult to get right. I say this because ive tried so many places that have this exclusive dish and it's been a struggle. I ordered the Poke Nachos twice and there's two variations that this place has to offer: Fresh Poke Nachos and the Marinated Poke Nachos. Now I will say that the fresh poke nachos weren't that bad. The crab salad was good, portion was generous, and the fish wasn't that bad. However, I thought the Marinated Poke Nachos would be exactly what I was looking for. Both Nacho dishes the Wontons reeked of the nastiest smell ever. It smelled extremely dirty as if the frying oil that they used had not been changed since my last visit to Hawaii which was over 8 months ago....yeah it was that bad. The fish also stank so badly and had that dirty fishy oder that we all love. I had two chips with the fish and immediately gagged. Huge disappointment and after that I dont think I could give this place a second chance. so Hawaii wins this one and I guess the Poke thats Local to the bay has no chance in being a fraction as satisfying. the only thing this place has going for it is the presentation, but other than that nothing. take your picture for instagram and then throw away whatever you ordered from here because trust me I took one for the team. read more

Local Poke - Nasty Poke Nachos - Poke Near Me - Pleasanton, California

If you want fresh, filling, and affordable poke, this is one of the better options around Livermore/Pleasanton. If you're chasing ultra-authentic Hawaiian-style poke, you might find it a bit "mainland-style"--but still very good. You can walk in, customize exactly what you want, and be out the door with a fresh bowl in under 5-10 minutes in many cases. That's a big part of why people see it as a go-to spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner rather than a sit-down experience. I highly prefer the poke nachos! You'll really get the bang for your buck on that one! read more

I didn't know this place was here at all but it looks like it's been here awhile !!! We came here on sat to grab some lunch . I wasn't very hungry so we split a large bowl , they also have a poke nachos option or a sushi bake option which looked super yummy too . We got the large bowl which comes with your choice of 4 scoops of fish , toppings and sides. The fish was really fresh and the rice was hot and fresh as well . They were making a new batch of white sushi rice which would have taken another 15 min to be ready so we just went with the brown rice . Free yakult per person if you want ! Next time I want to come back and try the nachos . On a side note this plaza has changed a lot , the Trader Joe's that was here previously has been taken over by an Indian grocery store . There is also another indian restaurant in this same plaza as well . The stores here are starting to reflect the demographic change of this area more and more . read more

I've been wanting to try Local Poke for a while because their menu has nachos, and I love poke nachos. Since I was in the area, I finally stopped by. I actually wanted something a little healthier that day and wasn't craving nachos, so I ordered a medium bowl instead. One of the main reasons I came here is because they offer marinated poke, which I really prefer. It reminds me of Hawaii. Most places around here just toss raw fish in sauce at the last minute, so they never taste as flavorful as a true marinade. Spots that serve marinated poke are hard to find, so this was a big win for me. For protein I got the marinated local ahi and the volcano ahi. Both were really good. The fish quality was solid and not dry or stringy like some other places. For my side I chose spicy crab and spicy tuna. It was interesting to see spicy tuna listed as a side since it is usually offered as a protein. Overall this was a delicious poke bowl and Local Poke is now one of my favorite spots in the East Bay. Aloha Fresh and Santos Market in San Jose are still at the top for me, but this place is definitely up there. The customer service was great and they even include a Yakult with your order which is a nice little bonus since it is a probiotic drink. read more

I'm on my summer poke hype and I was traveling to the Bay Area and stopped by this place. The pics on yelp and the reviews made it look promising so I was like "sure why not". I get there and noticed alot of ppl sitting around waiting for food. Which was kind of weird because the person behind the counter wasn't really making anything. Weird but whatever. I proceed to order and the first thing that was kind of a bad experience was the glass wall between you and the server. It's pretty high. So it was hard for the person to hear us. It wasn't particularly noisy but I had to repeat myself at least 3 times per ingredient. Which after the 4th ingredient I was getting kind of annoyed. I'm a loud person. Not soft spoken at all. Oh well. What can you do. I get my food and it was just ok. I don't think I'll be back. I also found out all the people waiting were waiting for Sushi bakes. Which they didn't have on their main menu but there was a pic of it on the wall to the right and behind you if you are trying to order. I think I would've enjoyed that more. read more

Local Poke - Poke nachos - Poke Near Me - Pleasanton, California

We were in the area and were looking for a good Poke restaurant to get our cravings satisfied! Local Poke had good reviews so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is fairly small and tucked away but easy to get to right off the highway. There is a decent amount of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Although it was windy, we decided to sit outside. The Poke was tasty and fresh. They offer a couple of different sizes; I opted for the large and it was filling! I enjoyed the fact they have a lot of options and offerings. You start at the right of the counter and move left as they make your bowl. The menu up top gives you step by step instructions on what and how much you are allowed to pick. Overall, good food and experience. Pricing was decent. I will be back if I'm ever in the area and in the mood for Poke! read more

This was my second visit here. Apparently, I didn't write a review the first time. I wouldn't have come back if it hadn't been a positive experience, so there's that. Around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, there were two tables in use in front of the restaurant when we arrived. There was also a line of five guests ordering or waiting to order. Two employees were working the food prep line and at least two additional employees in the back. The ordering process is pretty straight forward like many other poke shops. You order your size, base, proteins, sides, mix-ins, sauces and then toppings. Then you pay and they hand you your order. Napkins, chopsticks and forks are on a small table in the dining room. She ordered a "standard" menu item: Medium Main - on brown rice, no changes to what was listed on the menu. I had: Large - on brown rice, 1 scoop of hamachi, 1 scoop of shrimp, 2 scoops of salmon (I originally wanted 2 scoops of hamachi but they didn't have enough, so he gave me 1 scoop and what was left in the pan). My sides were avocado and krab salad. I got corn and edamame as mix-ins, poke sauce and for toppings, mango. We both agreed that the fish was fresh and the food was delicious. Because of this, we would come back when in the area. Service was adequate with some minor hiccups. At one point, a young lady came from the back and started assembling my orders. Mid-point, one of the guys stepped in and took over and sent her back to the back. At another point, while assembling a customer's order, he stepped away to carry some food totes out to either a manager's or owner's vehicle. Nothing was said to the guest that was waiting for his order. I would consider this poor customer service from the employee as well as the manager/owner. If it was urgent for her to get the order to her car and she couldn't carry them herself, she should have moved her car to the backdoor and between her and the young lady, could have accomplished the task without interrupting the business flow. read more

the poke nachos here are sublime, and all the staff are very friendly. Shout out to Anton!

Came here while visiting a friend and really enjoyed it! We ordered through phone ahead because while my friend was picking me up from the train station, it was within an hour of their closing time. We both ordered the Sushi Bake with added avocado and some wonton chips with unagi sauce. It was absolutely delicious!!! And VERY filling. We both only got halfway thru our sushi bakes until we were already feeling full. The sushi bakes do come with a pack of seaweed also! The chips were also great. The inside had only a bit of sitting space but there is outdoor seating as well. There didn't seem to be a bathroom, so heads up! Overall, really enjoyed my sushi bake read more

Poke was good, I like all the mixins and toppings that they offer. I got a medium with half brown rice half mixed greens, main (salmon avocado mixture), local (ahi tuna shoyu mixture), and hamachi. My sides were spicy crab salad and wonton chips. Plenty of food and fish tasted fine. Probably will try to get more plain fish next time so I can taste the fish flavor more. Service was a little off though... I walked in and it was sooo quiet: no music, no greeting, barely talking from taking orders. It wasn't the most welcoming I've felt walking into a food establishment. But the gentlemen were fast on top of making online orders. read more

First time trying Local Poke and overall, it was an excellent experience! Located in a strip mall near the freeway, it was easy to access and there was plenty of parking at the lunch hour. Definitely more of a to go place which was fine. I was warmly greeted and the written instructions were easy to follow, and the person helping answered any remaining questions about the ingredient options for building my poke bowl. There was a good range of seafood protein choices and went with a large bowl to try 4 different ones. All were good, but I think I liked the volcanic ahi and customized ponzu hamachi the best, while the shoyu ahi and spicy salmon or excellent as well. There were also plenty of good toppings, and they were very generous with the mix of both rice and salad greens. I also appreciated the chance to have three different types of tobiko on top. Overall, a tasty and filling poke bowl and I look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Local Poke - Large poke bowl with 4 poke selections over rice and greens with high quality toppings - Poke Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Local Poke will be my go to poke spot! This is the best poke that I've eaten. The price was a little higher than I was used to paying, but the portion size made sense. It was a hefty a portion. The menu is a little bigger than most poke restaurants, so it took a little longer to decide on my order. I liked that they have a few signature premade protein options in addition to the normal poke options. I recommend trying one of their signature proteins as one of your choices. It's located in a small shopping center. There is an enough parking because it's doesn't appear to get too busy in the shopping center. The inside has tables if you want to dine in. read more

Local Poke - Poke Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I was in the mood for a poke bowl and trying to find somewhere close to not have to deal with traffic. This place came up on the map and so I thought I'd give it a try. Google was very confused about where to find it in the little strip mall but after that adventure I was pleasantly surprised. I got my poke bowl to go, the place is pretty tiny so it's not really designed to be much of a sit down location. The selection of fish was great and it was all amazingly fresh. The counter staff were very helpful and my bowl was prepared quickly. I have to say for the price it was definitely a good amount of very fresh fish with lots of toppings. If you happen to be in the area and are looking for poke it's worth a stop in! read more

The price is great for what it is. A great selection of toppings and staple proteins. One thing I noticed is that they cut their fish in smaller pieces than other places I've been to. This makes so much of a difference in mouth feel of the poke. People just kept coming in while we were there. It's a bit of a small place, but the food is soo good. I'd go again when I'm in the area. read more

I mixed in a few things and asked for 3 different sauces, my husband did something similar but the worker didn't really add any sauce and it wasn't really coated in anything. The rice ratio was quite alot, it's good but definitely different from poke from Hawaii. read more

My go to poke place. Reasonably priced. Gives you a free yakult with every order. Lots of free topping options and always consistent.

Our favorite poke closed downtown Pleasanton and we thought we'd give the other store a chance... We found the flavors and freshness and service and attitudes. Very very nice. Not much room to sit inside and if you sit outside, there's tables but keep in mind that there's a car wash so it can be a little bit noisy, but yes... We'll be back.! read more

Second time I've ordered from Local Poke in the last week. Both were DoorDash during lunch time. They have poke bowls that you can select from - small, medium, large. I even saw sushi bake on the menu. The first order I picked the four protein. This time, I ordered their medium with three proteins. Both orders had plenty of poke, toppings, and mix in options. And plenty of left overs too. The food was prepared and packed quickly and was delivered within 15-20mins after order. Food was great. Portion is plentiful. Will try this again. Maybe next time in person. read more

FLAVOR (5/5): Their marinated poke was a hit! Super flavorful and unique. It reminded me a lot of the options I would see when we go to Hawaii. Loved the topping options they had too, like I've never seen shiitake mushrooms at a poke joint before. When I came they were out of a few options, but they were able to fill at few before I checked out. They also gave out free Yakult with every order. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): It's a very mom and pop shop with photos of their dogs and family on the wall! There's seating outside and inside but nothing about the decor was anything to post online about. The food was presented nicely and it felt super clean inside! SERVICE (4/5): Three people working when we got there, everyone was friendly and helpful. They gave out decent portion sizes as well! TAKEAWAYS: Great small business to visit for a quick lunch! Dog friendly. read more

I could tell they were really trying to hustle. The proteins I chose (marinated ahi, scallop, hamachi) were all good. They have shiratakai/kelp noodle base available. I found they had appropriately generous portions. I went with medium, it was slightly over $18. That's about average for around here. It tasted great so I'll be back! read more

I am by no means a local Hawaiian, but I was very happy with the poke bowl here! Opted for the medium poke bowl, which allows three proteins and two sides. Ended up getting the tuna, salmon, local ahi, kelp noodles, mixed greens, sushi rice, tobiko, crab salad, and wakame along with a bunch of other toppings to choose from. Also got to try their sweet ebi as well. Ingredients were fresh and filling. Minimalistic, no frills decor with a tower of take out containers off to the side reminded me of the casual, laid-back poke places I have visited in Hawaii. Not sure if it was because it was 80+ degrees outside, but there were plenty of people streaming in after 5:00PM to get their poke on. Really looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer for future visits! read more
