Elise W.

Never disappoints. Ordered Alaska & Tiger Roll, 4 Poke Bowl, Fried Katsu, Blueberry Salty Cream drink and Thai Tea. The service is good, very quick and efficient. They give so much for the poke bowls!

Visited this place for the first time and it did not disappoint! Lots of choices and everything is reasonably priced. The poke was pretty good and fresh. The place is small with limited seats, so best to take your good "to go" but they have spacious parking next door. Friendly staff, looks like a mom and pop shop so it is nice to support a smalll local business. We will definitely come back to try other offerings.

Cheapest chop sticks ever, splinters of wood barely longer than a plastic fork.

I got their large "signature" poke bowl, which came with fruit, avocado, and 4 scoops of fish. The fruit was delicious. The bowl was mostly rice, which had more flavor than the old and flavorless fish. Usually I can barely finish a large poke bowl, this one was so tiny that I left hungry and bought more food elsewhere. Their approach to quality was shown by the chopsticks, 2 rough skinny cheap splinters of wood barely longer than a plastic fork.

I ordered a signature poke bowl with 4 scoops of salmon + an extra scoop on the side through doordash. The portion sizes didn't really reflect 5 scoops unless they have extremely small scoops. I only added seaweed salad, crab salad, and cucumber as toppings. One of the few poke places I have been to that just throws the toppings together. The picture is how I got the poke bowl when I opened it. The flavor was okay at best and fish was just not as fresh.

Quality/Quantity - Two poke bowls, see pictures. Both were good, single serving quantities. Tiger Roll. Alaska Roll. Atmosphere - Small local family run restaurant. But a fairly large parking lot. Not sure if there are other businesses that use this parking lot...? Many security cameras throughout the business and parking lot. Semi open kitchen. Bathroom in the back, you just have to ask. We did not use it. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. Service - Counter service. Or a self service kiosk. Mostly to-go customers, we were the only customers that ate here. As first time customers, it would have been nice to have more direction. We asked many questions on what their process and procedures were. Price - $55. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019.

Specialty poke' bowl 4 types of fish avocado mango pineapple so good!!!

Best Poke' place in the area. Fresh fish , healthy portions, fresh crispy vegetables. Incredible flavors in their food. They have sushi & other dishes as well. I believe it's ran by husband and wife which is always better to support your small business. It's a little place with seating. Pictures of examples so you see what you're ordering. As far as poke' there's a kiosk touch screen to order or I prefer the paper to mark off everything I want in my bowl. Simple as can be. It's off E14th very convenient plenty of parking. Prices are very fair. I been getting take out from here for years this review is long overdue.

Chicken katsu plate, mango boba smoothie, shrimp tempura roll

Carol R.

First time coming here did not disappoint! We ordered the chicken katsu plate, teriyaki chicken plate, shrimp tempura roll, spicy edamame, and the pot stickers. Everything was delicious the only thing I thought was ehh was the salad dressing. We would definitely come back!

Lai L.

We found this place while searching poke in San Leandro. It was a weekday so very empty and definitely a hole in the wall. Right when we got in, no one was in the front, but we heard chatter in the kitchen. They said they would be right there. We saw some paper & pencil to fill in what we wanted so we did that. The prices are definitely cheaper than other poke places so I see the appeal. It took a little longer than I expected. We both got the poke sauce (spicy), a regular and signature bowl. For proteins, I got hamachi, spicy tuna & shrimp and the spicy crab as a base with brown rice and salad, Anyway, the sauce was way too salty and overwhelming, especially at the bottom. I think they went too heavy on the sauce to where you can't taste the fish. I was not impressed. I've had much better food & service elsewhere. I don't mind paying $5 extra for quality.

Dexter D.

We've been passing by this place ever since they opened. The timing was just never quite right for us. We are definitely particular about our poke. There are only a couple of places on the mainland that we really enjoy getting poke from. There were other customers when we walked in close to 1pm on a Friday. The two employees that we saw looked like they were doing prep work to get ready for the dinner rush. We were greeted when we walked in, and we were directed to where the menu was posted. There are order sheets for those who plan on ordering poke bowls. Just place checkmarks next to whatever you want and hand it over when you're ready. They'll verify what you want, ring you up, take your money and then make your order. Service was friendly and all of our questions answered. Once we ordered, she paid and waited inside while I went outside to walk the dog. We didn't time it, but it seemed to take an extraordinary amount of time for our order to be ready. Once we got our orders, we took them home for lunch. California Rolls - 3 - By appearance only, this was a 5. However, once bit into it, the score dropped. Why? There was no seasoning on the rice. It was quite literally, seaweed, rice, crab, minimal mayo, and black sesame seeds. The seasoning mix for the rice usually consists of unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar, sea salt, and kombu (dried kelp). When my wife makes sushi rice, she uses a wooden bowl and sprinkles the seasoning liquid onto the rice while turning the rice and I'm standing there waving a fan to cool the hot rice. Yes, it is labor intensive, and I've replaced my labor efforts with an electric fan. Every brand of mayonnaise has its own distinctive flavor. Fans of Best Foods usually don't seem to care for Kraft. Kewpie, Japanese mayo is very different from American mayo. Her Signature Poke Bowl - 5 - She absolutely loved her bowl. All of her flavors were on point, and she really liked the ponzu sauce that she had chosen. My Signature Poke Bowl - 4 - I wasn't in love with my bowl. I found the crab mix and some of the fish to be too cold. For food safety reasons, refrigerated foods need to be kept below 40-degrees Fahrenheit. For maximum flavor, the fish should be a bit warmer, some say just below body temp, some say just below room temp. I did really like the fruit that came with the signature bowls, avocado, mango and pineapple (at no additional charge). Would I try them again? Yes, I would get another poke bowl there. Then I would force myself to wait a half hour before diving in so the fish could warm up a bit. On the California Roll, I'd probably pass.

Wing L.

3.5 stars rounded up It's a no frills sushi spot and it's relatively cheap so I'm not complaining. Rolls could be wrapped tighter cuz it does tend to fall apart when eating. The rolls are pretty big; one roll fills me up and I have leftovers for later. I usually order ahead and it's ready for pick up in 10-15 mins. I come here if I don't wanna go far for sushi and it does the job

Edna M.

When you walk in you can order at the self serve kiosk or go up to the counter to order. The inside is small but had enough tables. They also have a parking lot where you can park so you don't have to find street parking when it's not busy. I really liked the sauce on the chicken fries. It was savory and spicy and had good flavor. The fries were not soggy at all but I wish there was a little more chicken. The regular poke bowl was so good. It was fresh and had good flavor! The wait was around 25 minutes for to-go. Would definitely come back!! Total price: $24.37

Billy L.

They have their own parking lot which is a huge plus. When you walk-in, you order from the touch screen. Service is meh... no one comes out to greet you or anything unless you're a DoorDash/Uber Eats order. I ordered the spicy chicken bento which comes with rice and salad and choice of sushi. I picked spicy tuna roll. I paid $13, which is very reasonable for all the food you get. The spicy chicken is delicious. It's not drenched in sauce like most places. It's just marinated and grilled with a nice char. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good too. Not dry or stringy like some places. Overall good value and I'll be coming back.

First time eating here tonight. It was so good. I found you on yelp so we ordered online which is pretty easy except more pictures would be great because I couldn't tell what some of the things were. They only order the sushi even though I was looking at your menu to get a poke bowl. When I got to your restaurant, everything was Ready which was nice. All the rolls were delicious. And the price is right for the amount of food received. Shrimp Tempura Roll was so tasty. read more

The food is good but if you order this through Yelp it doesn't always show that your order goes through and then you're left paying for something you didn't eat, effectively stealing from customers. And they don't try to help you problem solve the issue. And if you say you can come in for it they say the fish has gone bad! Not good business model. This is a disappointment. read more

I ordered a poke bowl with 3 proteins (standard) and chose 2 salmon and 1 hamachi scoops and barely had any salmon...a little disappointing and seemed like a ton of greens/salad to disguise the skimp fish serving.

This place was not good! What's up with all the 5 star reviews. We had a big bowl of beef udon,…read morethe scallop roll and mixed tempura. The scallop sushi rice fell apart - you couldn't pick it up at all. Like this is a bad sign when a sushi place can't make decent sushi rice. The beef in the beef udon was a little weird, like they tenderized it and they overdid it. The tempura was fine. The service was just as rude as a Chinese restaurant... I expect better service at a Japanese place. Won't be back. Honestly I think some of these yelp reviews are not authentic. Or written by people who've never had good sushi. I should have suspected something when we went in on a Sunday lunch and everywhere else was packed but here.

Overall, portion size was okay and fish was okay. I would give them another try but while nothing was bad, the bowl was spectacular either.

The tonkatsu was just ok. Good enough, but nothing spectacular. However, the salmon sashimi was cut super thick and was a fantastic value. Ultimately, I'm giving them a solid 5 stars overall because the stellar service, great prices, and welcoming vibe totally won me over!

This was my first time eating year in more than 8 years. I was happy that they were able to…read moreaccommodate our party of 8 for Sunday night dinner. We enjoyed our experience there because we did not feel rushed and the food came out in a timely order. I dislike when the appetizers come after the food, so it was nice to feel settled in and gauge how hungry we were before the entrees came out. On this particular occasion, we got a variety of dishes including some bento boxes, sushi rolls, some sashimi for me, and fried appetizers. I'm not usually a big fan of raw salmon based on a couple of negative experiences I've had at other restaurants, but I remember changing my mind after eating it at Makiyaki. My niece saw I was enjoying my food and even asked to try some of what I was having! It was a memorable moment for her as she had never eaten raw fish. She felt particularly proud of herself as a reformed picky eater. Things I like about this place is that parking is right in front. If you're not able to find it right away, there's plenty around the block or across the street at Safeway. The place is small and cozy but was able to accommodate our medium-sized group after the weekend dinner rush. Our server checked on us an adequate amount of times. We didn't feel ignored, but also not suffocated /rushed, and our food came out on time. They have some alcoholic beverages, soda, and hot tea. I would come back for an intimate dinner with friends and top it off with ice cream from either of the shops in the parking lot.

Building my custom bowl, I started with a base of spring mix and zucchini noodles, topped with krab salad (one of my favorite things on the menu), spicy miso salmon, spicy tuna. Then came the mix-ins including corn, cucumber, edamame, green onion, grape tomatoes, hijiki seaweed, mango, pineapple, purple cabbage, and sweet onion, as well as crunchy topping like crispy onion, furikake, nori, ogo seaweed, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, sliced almonds, and togarashi. They have a bunch of sauces to choose from as well, and my favorite is the creamy, spicy, unctuous sriracha aioli. Since I was dining with kids, we needed a cooked protein option as well, giving me the excuse to try the Crispy Shoyu Chicken, a furikake and panko-coated oven-baked chicken thigh, served over sushi rice, greens, krab salad, cucumber, grape tomato, green onion, and furikake. No joke--I actually thought the crispy chicken was even better than the poke! And the service here was super quick and friendly too--what a great place for a casual, delicious meal!

Quality/Quantity - On my way to Sushi House and saw you. Good for you, too bad for Sushi House…read more Hand rolls are made to order, so be patient. I think I got the manager helping me as he got interrupted so often while making my order. We tried their new item, onigiri; but they were out of 1 of the 2 that I ordered. So he substituted it to another hand roll, good service. This was good, generous baked salmon in the onigiri. Got the 3 for $17.25 hand roll special. Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Crab Salad. Generous rice, too much if you ask me. But very filling. I was worried we did not have enough food, but the rice filled us. Plus we are light eaters. The crab was our favorite, and tasted like a CA hand roll. Overall good, reasonably priced, but I will probably go back to Sushi house for my sushi. Well I do want to try their bowls as everything looks so fresh!! Ambiance - A small location. Approximately 4 tables, 1 one seater, 1 two seater, 2 four seaters. Mostly to-go customers. Only one group ate here (Five Guys employees). Everyone else, including us, took to-go. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm. Service - Good. 4 team members working in the front of the house. Most people were greeted when they entered. I did not get a bag?!?! Which was weird, maybe he did not hear me say I wanted it to-go? Water, utensils, condiments are all self service. I forgot the self service napkins also, good thing we had plenty in the car and at home. Price - $27; reasonably priced, well less expensive than Sushi House, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success at this location since May of 2025. Congrats to your parent company since 2016. 21 CA locations. 1 Atlanta location. 1 Portland, OR location. 1 soon to be Las Vegas, NV location.

Shrimp and vegetables were cooked to perfection. Yummy sauce was good too! Price is steep though...but it does beat cooking and washing dishes after a long day. Would recommend if you're looking to splurge on food.

Avoid this location and go to the Piedmont location instead…read more I used to go to the Piedmont location multiple times a week and honestly would still go out of my way to go there to this day because of the amazing service. Johnny Bravo and the rest of the staff there always made customers feel welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of. I've even met up with friends there just because the atmosphere and service were that good. Maybe it's because the owners are always present at the Piedmont location, but the difference between these two locations is night and day. After moving, the East Fourteen location became the closest to me, so I expected the same level of customer service. Unfortunately, I've had the complete opposite experience every single time I've gone there. The girl who opened on May 16, 2026 was once again rude, cold, and hostile for absolutely no reason. She never greets me, never says hello, never asks how she can help me. I always have to speak first because she acts bothered the second I walk in. That is some of the worst customer service I've experienced anywhere. I tipped the first time, but after consistently bad service, I stopped. The food used to make the trip worth it, even though this location always seems noticeably saltier, but dealing with salty attitudes on top of salty food is enough for me to never come back. To make things worse, I always order the exact same thing, and today they still managed to leave items out of my order and didn't give me everything I paid for. This employee seriously needs customer service training and needs to learn the bare minimum of acknowledging and respecting customers. Customers are the reason employees have jobs in the first place. I will not be returning to this location.
