I've order (door dash) from here at least a handful of times for lunch and I really want to like this establishment because portions are generous and flavor is somewhat decent. Unfortunately on two different orders, I've found a piece of hair in my food. The last order has done it for me and this establishment. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this is a food safety concern that shouldn't be overlooked. Cleanliness and proper food handling are extremely important when serving customers. I hope management takes this seriously and reinforces hygiene standards with staff to prevent this from happening again. read more

Huge portions! Poke Bowl Pelandale has quickly become one of my go-to spots in Modesto. They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again. read more

This is the best place to get poke. I always order ahead and they have a fast pickup. The poke always tastes so fresh and good! I always crave it! I always tell people it's like a deconstructed sushi roll. The parking lot is busy, inside is small but does have nice seating area. read more

Tried to order online, and also checked on doordash. Their toppings and prices were different than their menu inside the store. The staff was nice. The restaurant was small but looked clean. The poke bowls tasted fresh but the side menu items were just decent. The potstickers were simple and didnt stand out much. The musubi was good but had a large rice ratio. Overall the location is convenient and the poke bowls are as expected. read more

Came in about 25 minutes to closing and was asked to take to go. I find it weird since they close at 8pm and it takes us no more than 15 min to eat it. We ate in my car. Server was nice and food was excellent but didnt like being asked to take to go especially since I saw people sitting and eating there. Its actually 7:51 and we are done and clean up our own mess. read more

Seen a review of someone getting hair in their food TWICE & still decided to give it a chance just to have a strand of hair in my food as well. Super disappointing after spending $30 read more

Great proteins. Large sizes. Very fresh. Great bang for the buck. Staff is very friendly and helpful

It's probably been almost a year since I visited this place. I left a bad review because of the rude and disrespectful staff. Today, I decided to come back. I have cravings for poke. The 2 staff who were there were friendly. The greet their customers who are coming in and leaving. Huckleberry (sorry if I misspelled your name) is friendly, has excellent customer service. You can tell from her attitude that she cares about her customers. I told her about my unpleasant experience and thanked me for giving them another chance. Such a humble person! The food quality still satiates my cravings. Will definitely come back again. read more

It was okay. Food was mid. There are better options out there. Just sucks that you can mix the chicken with some of the seafood together. If you get one bowl, it has to be that only, and if you get the other bowl, you can mix. read more

OMG!!! First time at Poke Biwl! I'm sooooo impressed. Let's start with first impressions. When I walked in I was greeted with a smile. The restaurant is small but clean and welcoming. I didn't know where to start.... If you have ever been to Subway, this is the Poke version. lol. You get to put on whatever you want. I was walked through where to start and given suggestions along the way. By the end of choices I was pleased with my choices. The most important part..... how does it taste? I was absolutely fabulous! I can't say enough about the freshness of the fish and vegetables. I chose salad as my base instead of rice. The salad with a nice mix of different types of lettuce. The correct level of spicyness. Although you can amp up the amount to your wants. Overall a great experience! I will definitely be coming back! Great stop that's fast and fresh. Perfect alternative to that fatty fast food stop! read more

I've been to this chain of Poke restaurants in other cities so I have a little bit of a benchmark to rate this store with. Let me start off by saying the employees were friendly and helpful from the moment I walked into the restaurant. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. As a chain, they don't offer as many add in's i.e. cilantro, red onion, green onion etc. as other Poke restaurants do but that isn't horrible. The protein options were decent with the tuna looking fairly fresh. There was no slimy film on it when you look at it through the glass. The shrimp were decent sized and the yellowfin tuna had good flavor. It is the overall cleanliness of this location that took me aback. You know when you walk into a hotel that looked great in their Expedia listing but when you walk into the room you want to leave - immediately. That's what happened to me here. The tables were dirty, the floor was dirty, the walls had dust on them and there were cobwebs in the corner by the trash can. I decided to eat my bowl quickly, wash my hands and leave. read more

Poke Bowl- Pelandale - Poke bowl with Ahi tuna, Shrimp and yellowfin tuna. - Poke Near Me - Modesto, California

If you like poke bowls or sashimi, this place is worth your time. Great for lunch and dinner. You'll definitely get your money's worth. I love their eel sauce. The price is not too expensive for the wallet and it's obvious not cheepo quality for the price you pay. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit. If this place was next to my work place, I'd be broke from buying lunch here every day. Quality: A++ Price: A Service: A++ read more

Took my daughter here today got brown rice and salad base. Brown rice was dry and crusty hard,salad was funky, flavor of everything wasn't great wish they had more toppings and better sauces and rice was fresh. My daughter wasn't impressed either got nauseous . Bowls looked great but taste didn't deliver wont go back read more

My favorite poke bowl stop in the Central Valley. Service is so friendly and quick. It's a nice little shop, you can walk up and see everything you'd like to order. I love getting a medium bowl as their portion sizes are extremely generous. I love their shrimp and spicy tuna as well as tofu and creamy shrimp. I also like to load it up with spicy mayo and house sauce as well as all the toppings. I would definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

I'm amazed this place has overall positive reviews... I paid $17 expecting fresh, sushi-grade ahi, but the tuna in my poke bowl was incredibly disappointing. Instead of clean, tender cubes, the fish had tough sinewy parts and connective tissue. High-quality poke tuna usually comes from the leaner, softer sections of the fish, like the loin. That's the cut that gives poke its smooth, tender texture and clean flavor. Instead, this bowl had the leftover scraps from tougher areas with connective tissue. The flavor was overly fishy instead of mild and fresh. There were only a couple drops of spicy mayo, leaving the rice and fish bland and dry. As an ahi tuna lover, I was heartbroken from the first bite. This was not a good poke bowl, it was just a few scraps of fish tossed in with barely any sauce and was definitely not worth the price. I was supposed to get two scoops of protein but from the amount of bad quality fish I received, it seems like there was barely one scoop. I'm not one to complain or ask for refunds but I highly regret coming here and wasting my money. Definitely not the quality I'd expect at this price with overall positive reviews... Perhaps the positive reviews are first timers who don't know what good quality fish is like? read more

Went to Costco to get some gas and thought I'd go here for takeout tonight. It was a bit past 7pm. Walk in and felt the vibe was off. The lady seemed annoyed. Maybe they should close earlier if you don't want to be there. Before I'm even halfway through the door, she asks what I want. No welcome, no pointing me in the right direction. .I'm like I need to see a menu, which is perpendicular to the door. Forgive me for not knowing every step and choice by heart. So I choose the 3 scoop and rice as my base. Then ask for salmon as my first choice to find out she has none. I should have just walked out. Especially since there was nothing cooling any of the proteins. So I choose 3 other proteins. They use the mini ice cream scoops here to minimize the amount of fish you get in assuming. Never had a poke bowl with so little fish. I finish my bowl off, pay the $15 and left. What a joke. $15 for a huge bowl of rice and barely any fish. I walked out, and threw it out and drove to Raising Cane's. I'm not going back here ever. I seriously cannot believe there was nothing cooling the fish either. I'm not willing to get sick. The other location on McHenry is way better. read more

I'm not usually the one to write reviews but I was disappointed by my local poke bowl. While I was waiting to be served which no one heard me in the store after ringing the desk bell, I saw flies crawling on the salmon and ahi. It made me never want to come to this location and I love poke!! Now I have to drive across town read more

Took a detour and was looking for a quick bite for the kids. Ordered SPAM musubi which took over nine minutes! I ordered a poke bowl for my daughter which was ready almost right away. Both items were over-priced. I don't pan to go back here. Bonus: They have a selection of Hawaiian Sun nectars. *You can ring a bell to order if nobody is in the front. read more

Poke Bowl- Pelandale - Build your own Small Poke Bowl (2 scoops) - Poke Near Me - Modesto, California

Always good portions though it seems they may have cutback a little bit. This is our favorite location out of all of them. Always fresh.

Another Poke Bowl spot here in Modesto after their first location on McHenry. To have TWO locations in one city must mean something in regards to the food right? I came here during the time of the pandemic and I am pleased with how everything is being handled. I felt very safe and glad precautions are being handled by the establishment for safe service and food quality. Staff members wearing gloves, as well as, barriers put in place between staffing and customers. Quick rundown. Poke Bowl is basically deconstructed sushi in a bowl that is served here Chipotle style where you just go down the line and ask for what you want within your concoction. You have a variety of proteins such as ahi tuna, salmon, octopus, and more with a variety of vegetables and fruit to go with your bowl. They have sauces as well to give it some flavor. My favorite combination of sauce is the ponzu and spicy house mixed together along with a drizzle of spicy and wasabi Mayo to top things off. It was nice to see the owner, Gino, here at this location. He is always a happy man and I can tell he loves what he does! Definitely brightens up all his customers. read more

Thank you Yelp for making it easier by allowing you to order it on the app. My mother ordered what she wanted and I ordered what I wanted. Paid on the app and then we went to get it. The restaurant is clean and safe. Masks are worn by workers. We went in and they had not even started making it. We waited while our orders were made. It all looked fresh and tasty. My mother was watching them and she knows I asked for sauce on the dude. She saw the worker do the sauce on it and said something to the worker and she wasn't too happy, but luckily, did it right. Lunch time! My poke bowl was fresh and delicious! Good shrimp, spicy tuna and scallops! Enjoyed every bite and leftovers. Good poke sauce too! Spicy kick! ;)~ My mother said hers was good. Fresh. Okay service and good bowls. read more

Not the fanciest poki spot, but it satisfied my hunger. I arrived around 3pm and it wasnt busy. I was immediately greeted and given choices to help my selection. I went with my usual, half brown rice half salad. Although the salad was a little sad looking as was an iceburg mix and not so fresh. I got the mayo shrimp and 2 scoops of salmon. They didnt have as many topping options as some places but it was good enough for what I wanted. I ended up getting a light ponzu sauce and appreciated that the lady did not soak my food in it. Other than the lettuce everything else looked and tasted fresh. All in all was a decent poki bowl. read more

Caught my attention as I was pulling out from Lowe's. 2 people ahead of me with one family dining in the back. Place is well lit, open, and service was Fast. First time here so the guy behind the counter was super patient with me, gave me a menu and explained my choices. Just like any poke bowl spot. Easy as one two and three. Flavors were a good to great balance. Nothing was salty or fishy. Ingredients looked and tasted fresh. The regular bowl was fulfilling and didn't leave me hungry or feeling I got shorted. I would recommend and definitely come back for more flavors. read more

Although we normally have gotten poke in the Bay Area, this one is more local so we decided to give it a try. We were both super happy with the quality of the food, the service, and the price!

Pulling up to this place had me a little concerned, and walking in...hello plastic-wrapped COVID party but! Do not let that deter you. Apparently I'm "so bougie" according to my 10-year old lol so there's that. The staff was super welcoming and knowledgeable and the ingredients super fresh and tasty! We each got a regular bowl and it was enough for two meals each. They have great portion sizes and plenty of options to choose from. The spicy house sauce is perfectly balanced and spicy mayo on top gave it the perfect kick! Not too bad for about $10 a bowl either. read more

Poke Bowl- Pelandale - Stackkkkkkkkedt. - Poke Near Me - Modesto, California

I was so excited to find out that there's a poke place in town. Honestly, I mistakenly thought that this was another poke chain that I usually eat at in the Bay Area, but I gave it a try anyways. When I walk in, the employees were really nice. I can see that they took the extra step to add more protective equipment to ensure the food stays uncontaminated (on top of already having the window). The first thing I noticed was that their protein options don't look that appetizing. The salmon was a dull orange color and the tuna hadn't been completely thawed. I did realize that they offered scallops, which is pretty rare since a lot of places don't offer it. I ended up getting salmon, scallops, and spicy tuna with white rice, crab salad, cucumbers, green onion topped off with their house sauce. The scallops were pretty good, but the other proteins tasted off to me. The salmon wasn't fatty and the spicy tuna wasn't spicy and had a weird aftertaste. Not sure if I caught them at a bad time or with a bad batch. Hope they can improve on this! read more

This is the only Poke place that my daughter (who loves Poke) will go to. Their portions are on the larger side, it takes me two days to finish the 2 proteins. The rice is cooked to perfection and everything always tastes so flavorful. They have a fridge of specialty drinks and an ice cream option too. Those are a bit pricey compared to the Poke itself. They also have appetizers but I haven't tried them yet. We go here pretty often and I'm sure it's just a matter of time. read more

Poke bowl has the biggest bowls and variety of toppings and seafood, plus the ingredients are so fresh and delicious! I couldn't even finish it and took it home to eat for dinner and then breakfast the next day! They have great drinks, soups, tempura and it's a small, clean and relaxing atmosphere! Definitely worth the price I paid and it's only a dollar more for extra toppings! Will be back for sure! read more

Good service! Never backed up, always working quick and well served workers. This always hits good

I tried Poke Bowl for the first time 2 weeks ago and have been back 3-4 times already. The food is good as far as quality and selection but the inconsistency is where it lacked 5 stars for me. The mixed greens are not the same every time and the selection of a few vegetables were out as well as the sauces. I ordered a large this time and the amount of greens vs toppings was disappointing as there was hardly any lettuce. read more

A friend of mine surprised me today and brought me a fully loaded Poké Bowl fur lunch. It was absolutely delicious and the portion was so big, I saved the rest for later. I asked her where she got it and to my surprise I didn't know Modesto had a Poké bowl spot. I'm so thrilled! The Poké was fresh and all the ingredients made it superb. Even rice was prepared perfectly. I can't wait to go and check it out for myself. ProTip: Add pineapples read more
