    After torturing our dog at the Dog Wash, we needed refueling. We hadn't been back to Poke Don in a long time, so we headed over. Because it was so hot, I waited in the car with the dog, the air conditioning running. My wife went in and placed the order and waited while it was prepared. A few customers had exited as we were figuring out what we wanted. She was the only customer to order and the one man working the counter took her order and prepared it. Other guests arrived and more employees came out from the back to help them. The gentleman wanted to know what we wanted for each section of our bowls, while making both bowls at the same time. She was quite happy with her bowl. I won't say that I wasn't happy BUT there was a hint of spice in my bowl and I did not order anything that should have been spicy. Overall, while we enjoyed our bowls, it seems like these were the smallest portioned "large" Poke bowls that we've ever received. Flavor and texture wise, they were on point. Would we dine here again? Probably, if in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    Stopped by Poke Don in San Ramon because I was craving a poke bowl. The place has a nice setup and plenty of topping options to customize your bowl just the way you like it -- definitely a plus! The salmon and tuna were fresh and tasted great, which is exactly what I was hoping for. However, I did notice that some of the other fish -- especially the ones that aren't ordered as often -- looked pretty dry and not as appealing. So I stuck to the basics. One major downside: the service was very slow. There were only three customers ahead of me, but it still took nearly 20 minutes to get through the line. It wasn't super busy, so it felt like the team just wasn't moving efficiently or was possibly short-staffed. Overall, the poke bowl I got was solid, and I'd consider coming back for the fresh salmon and tuna. But if you're in a hurry or expecting quick service, this might not be the best spot during peak times.

    Hands down THE best poke in town. Fresh fish, fresh toppings and friendly staff every time. The sauces are THE BEST. Been coming here for years and won't ever stop. 10/10 recommend.

    great poke bowl. prices are absurd and there is hardly any staff, the service takes forever! not to mention the employee is always sidetracked with other tasks so it takes a while for anything to get done. prices could be lowered or more staff could be hired.

    First time stopping here- found it on Yelp. My bowl was really good. I have to say I've never been to place that offers Unagi as one of its proteins so I was pleasantly surprised. The service was unfortunately eh but it's fine. I actually thought the value for what I got was pretty good too. One thing I wish they weren't so stingy with was their crab salad.

    Unagi and Toro ... Beautiful!

    Poke Don is absolutely delicious. My friend and I had a a bowl with Tuna as the focal point and topped it off with sliced Unagi. (Broiled Eel) Every ingredient is individually prepared with care and attention. All the The fish is fresh and tasty. Vibrant and refreshing vegetables decorate the bowl. Most importantly, the rice! The rice was perfect. The fact that Poke Don is so clean and and inviting is a testament to the owners' care for his restaurant and for his clients. Highly recommended.

    Medium bowl. Half brown rice/ have mixed greens with only salmon.

    Black girl tried to lock the doors 2:50 today and they don't close until 3. She opened the door when she saw me standing outside but she was clearly annoyed and rude and didn't want to serve me. I'm never going back

    Do you guys do in-door dining now?

    This location has never really been setup to accommodate indoor dining. When there's a line, everybody's butts would be at table level!!

    What time do you open and close?

    Their hours are less than consistent, and they open for lunch, then close and reopen for dinner

    Can you order online for pickup?

    Sadly, no. Their menu is so wide and varied, it's nearly impossible to accommodate online or phone orders

    Gluten free sauce options or all soy sauce based?

    spicy miyo n mango no soy

Obviously, when you're getting delivery, you miss out on the restaurant's casual, beachy countertop ambiance, but the food travels incredibly well. The packaging keeps everything hot and intact.

Whether you're getting the classic chicken katsu, spam musubi, or the BBQ beef plate, the portions are massive, and it completely hits the spot when you want a heavy, satisfying meal without leaving the couch. A reliable staple in my delivery rotation!

I called ahead for a couple of spam musubis and was told it will be ready within 10 - 15 minutes - upon arrival, it was ready. The employee who took my order on the phone was pretty impatient and overall rude - he had an attitude. The spam musubis are sold individually, unlike most of the other Hawaiian BBQ spots, but the pricing is similar, if you were to get two pieces here compared to an order of two at the other spots. The musubi was a bit smaller in size compared to other spots though - it was more narrow / skinny like a rectangle, instead of the block / brick size. Overall, it was decent for a quick snack because they were the only musubi spot opened at night in this area that I found.

    Located in the same shopping center as Safeway, and an abundance of other drink and food places…read more(several right next to it in this corner alone), you will find Senro Sushi. Just to note, there's at least two other sushi places around here, with one across the street and one just down the street in the shopping center next to this one, there' no shortages of sushi spots here. However, with Senro Sushi, if you want affordability it's probably one of the more affordable ones out of all 3 in this area. The place itself is pretty big, with lots of seating inside and very spacious all around with a pretty massive sushi bar area. They are staffed well overall, as even when you go in the morning there's usually a couple of servers at least, and several sushi chefs behind the sushi bar counter area, prepping fish, cutting, making sushi and etc. The service here is pretty good overall. Haven't had any issues. The menu here is, pretty big. They have a bit of everything that's not just sushi options of course. I've tried several things here already, so let me just go through each thing. The lunch bento is probably the best bang for your buck here. Compared to the other sushi spots, you won't be able to find one as cheap as them, and the amount of stuff you get here with it is pretty good too. This bento box does come with miso soup and also a tasty salad (dressing is yummers). You will also get a California Roll with it, which is amazing because their California here is actually quite tasty. One of the better ones hands down. You have the option to choose two other things from the menu (if you choose to go with 2 items), and decide what you want. I've tried the chicken teriyaki, the chicken katsu, and the tempura. All have been good. Hands down what you should get if you're here at that time on a weekday. The Agadashi tofu was just okay. Wasn't terrible, but felt their dashi was really bland, and the tofu itself wasn't fried that well. It needs to be more crisp to avoid it just falling apart when moist. Also, the batter they used just didn't have any flavor to it at all. It was okay. The sushi roll we got was yum. I don't really have much else to say about it other than that it was good. The fish was fresh, the spicy fish was good, and the sauces blended well. Good. The chicken egg don was not great. We had actually mistakenly ordered this instead of the katsudon, and this was just awful. The chicken didn't feel well cooked, the broccoli was just straight steamed with no sauce on it. The egg was overcooked, and not even remotely fluffy for what this is supposed to be. Just overall not at all what I had expected. Overall, Senro is a great spot for affordable sushi options in this area in San Ramon. While it's not going to offer anything super flashy, which the sushi spot in the shopping center across the street may offer, it's also going to be much less of a bill here when all said and done. The bento boxes are hands down the best option here for those here on a weekday lunch. The sushi rolls here are also great. Some of the other stuff we had were just, okay, but overall, was a nice experience here right near the Crow Canyon freeway exit.

First, I'd like to say the food was great and we come regularly. This time we ordered the island white fish aloha plate and was good. Food has been consistent when we come. However the girl at the front started as super unprofessional and rude. She had dark hair, and their were two other girls, one with lighter curly hair and one that I think had braces and skin tone was a little lighter. Just describing so maybe management can address this with the employee who refused to give her name. We had asked to use the bathroom, and they first said it's only for customers and we told them we did order. After that, it just escalated. The girl ended up yelling, and she even called my mom a "puta" and we called her out on that. She then proceeded to speak in spanish with 3-4 guys that were cooking, probably about us. We waited for our order and I asked for the manager and this girl kept saying he's coming. Then, one of the guys that I had seen thst was cooking came and said he was the manager and his name was Mattias Mendoza. I asked for the girl's name but she refused and kept yelling. She also turned around her badge so we could not see her name. Honestly if she didn't do anything, why was she hiding her badge??! We could see the other employees were scared of her, and she just kept yelling and saying we were the ones that cursed at her but every employee heard her say it to us, including some other customers that were standing there. We have also reported this to corporate, but we're unsure if anything will be done. She was absolutely horrible with us, picking fights and cussing out customers for nothing.
