    Classic Shoyu  Spicy Garlic
    Sydney E.

    The staff was awesome, very kind walking us through the menu as it was our first time here. Food was really tasty! The ONLY thing I wish was different is that the rice in my poke bowl was so hot, it warmed up the fish a bit. I like my poke cold and refreshing. They have different marinades for their fish, I tried 2 and they were both very good! The parking lot was small and I think we got pretty lucky finding a spot so easily.

    Absolutely -- here's a review you can post: The food was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and had so much flavor. The poke was loaded with toppings, the fish tasted fresh, and the sauces were really good. The portions were generous too -- definitely enough to fill you up. Everything was put together perfectly, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    Poke Plate with aloha salmon and shoyu tuna
    Selena L.

    Came an hour before closing and was pleasantly surprised that they still had all of their fish options available. It was my first time here and the cashier was really nice and explained that their combo poke plate is more Hawaiian style with emphasis on the fish flavors whereas the poke bowls had more toppings. I opted for the combo plate with shoyu salmon and shoyu tuna which was $18.50 before tax and tip. The fish was really fresh and not overly saucy, which is great. It also came with Mac salad. The rice was a bit hard for my liking. They also gave me packets of soy sauce and sriracha. I believe you can choose between white and brown rice but they didn't ask me for customization. There is lot parking outside and underground, and they validate it for you which is nice.

    Hands down the best poke in PB, and honestly one of the best in San Diego! The fish is always super fresh and high quality, and you can really taste the difference. The staff is also amazing!!!! Always friendly, welcoming, and providing great service. Definitely the best poke spot in PB. Highly recommend!

    Poke and pineapple mango lemonade

    Absolutely loved this place! Highly recommend. The poké tasted fresh and authentic. Reminded me of the poké I had in Hawaii. The portion sizes were really good and the location is amazing. It's feet away from the beach. The inside was welcoming and cute. Feels very much like a locals hot spot. Also, the owners were SO kind! I was having a hard time deciding so they helped walk me through the options and gave me a couple free samples. I will definitely be back!

    Do you like Hawaiian poke? Then come check out this casual spot near the beach. Perfect for a Hot Day in sunny San Diego. The portions are large and tasty. You can have spicy or not spicy along with white rice or brown rice. Hawaiian poke is marinated so be prepared for something sweet and or spicy. We ordered the Classic which was a little sweet for me. Otherwise it was a great lunch!

    Incredible welcoming energy as soon as we walked in! The lady who I believe is one of the owners, helped us at the front and gave us recommendations based on our fish preferences. We went with 50/50 (shoyu and spicy aioli ahi) because I wanted to try more of tuna.. AND OH BOY, I loved the marinades and freshness from the fish! It was not fishy at all. The toppings - seaweed salad, wonton chips, cucumber and kani help balance the fish with rice. Lastly, we want to give a big shoutout to the charismatic chef (also one of the owners)! He chatted with us and let us sample their YUMMY salmon. Super fresh and tasty! I love salmon and it was comparable to the tuna. We felt the ohana vibes during our visit!! we were so impressed & left happy. The only wish is to come back ASAP. Amazing small business, and I hope they continue to thrive

    True Aloha vibes coming into this shop! The poke bowls are without a doubt fresh. The fish are cut in the morning. Tons of flavor and ton of love put into these bowls. It's not Hawaiian deli style where you point and pick, you order at the register, but the staff is super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The place itself has a good amount of seating and has a nice casual atmosphere. If you don't wanna eat there, just walk down to the beach!

    Maori Kid Salmon + Wasabi Ahi
    Jennie H.

    One of the poke places that I've been wanting to hit in PB~ finally came and even though the parking was horrible, I have no regrets at all **Ordered: 2 scoops with Wasabi Ahi and Māori flavored Salmon that comes with choice of white/brown rice or salad greens $19 Flavor + the freshness of both fish were 10/10 on point! **Service So sorry I didn't get his name but cashier was AMAZING the chill, kind, helpful, Hawaiian-vibe kind of guy and was extremely patient as me and my friends were very indecisive **Vibe Local and family friendly~ seems like there were many locals and returning customers that the cashier had recognized :)) **Overall Again, the only issue is that parking is crap as usual for PB. The bowls and portion are a bit on the smaller side but inflation~ if I'm ever back in PB, I would definitely come back for a visit and do highly recommend others to come and take a whirl at it!

    nami bowl
    Victoria W.

    got the nami bowl with classic shoyu and cali salmon with ginger. the salmon tasted fresh, and i liked the variety of textures from the seaweed salad, crab salad, cucumbers, wontons, and krispy onions. every bite had a good balance of flavor and crunch, making it a satisfying poke bowl!!! our waiter was super nice and patient, taking the time to explain the different types of fish. he even brought out a side of sauce since he wasn't sure if i'd enjoy the cali salmon - v thoughtful!

    small salmon poke bowls
    Ashlee L.

    taste was pretty good but for the price it was not really worth it. pretty small portion and very limited toppings (i like my poke w lots of toppings). i mean it was filling enough for me still but you can definitely find places with more bang for your buck. the fish i got also had a little too much sauce but it was really soft and fresh and i did really like the rice

    Kyle T.

    really solid spot. quality ingredients and the guy at the register who i am assuming is the owner was extremely nice

You can build your own poke bowl or choose from their pre-made selections. I ordered their tuna and salmon, and you can pick and choose which toppings you want. It was a delicious poke bowl!

Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I placed my order online four hours in advance because I have a long drive back home to Julian and just wanted to pick it up and go. When I arrived, there was no greeting from staff, no clear pickup line, and no acknowledgment of customers waiting. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, only focusing on what was directly in front of them while ignoring everyone else. After standing there for quite a while, I finally had to ask about my order. Instead of it being ready like it should have been, they hadn't even started making it. I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line for something that was ordered hours earlier. What made it worse was when the mistake became obvious, no one apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. The staff acted like it was no big deal and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I don't come into the city often, but when I do I like to try new places. Sadly, this experience was disappointing and the customer service was extremely poor. I would honestly say save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values their customers--especially in this economy. Time is money, and money is time. If a restaurant doesn't respect your time, they're definitely not going to respect your money. As for the food, it was very basic and lacked flavor. They were also very stingy with the sauce, which made the bowl even more dry and underwhelming. Overall, between the poor service, long wait despite ordering hours ahead, lack of accountability from staff, and mediocre food, this place was a big disappointment. I will not be coming back. There are plenty of better places that actually value their customers. Thank you and have a nice day.

I ordered the Modern Caesar ($11.95) and added chicken ($3.95), and it was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant has a bright, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of natural light and a casual, upbeat vibe that makes it a great spot for lunch. It felt clean, comfortable, and inviting, whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go. The salad was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor, with the perfect balance of creamy dressing, parmesan, and crunchy toppings. Adding the chicken made it satisfying without feeling too heavy. It was exactly what I needed and gave me the right amount of fuel to keep going with the rest of my day. I've tried several other menu items here before and have always had great experiences, but this Caesar salad was exactly what I was craving. The service was also excellent. They took our order right away, and a team member was actively checking every order to make sure everything was accurate and running smoothly. It made the whole experience feel efficient and seamless. If you're looking for a fresh, satisfying lunch in a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a great choice.

Bad side as usual for downtown parking is never fun. lol.
