Shrimp Tempura Roll (Roll 6 pcs.)
Crystal H.

When you come in there are papers on a table with pencils, so that you can mark what you want in your poke bowl or mark what dish you would like to order in general. Service takes awhile, but at least that guarantees the food is made to order. When I got a glimpse of the seafood options I could tell it was fresh, which was nice. However, I wish imitation crab counted as a side and not a protein. Interior is a typical dining area, with decent seating and simple decoration!

felt something sharp poke my cheek while eating, found 2 bones in my food (salmon poke) and i havent even gotten 5 bites into my food the poke is good + fast service but wtf man

My pix for my combination bowl
Deon S.

Greetings to all, this review is on combination Poke bowl: Parking in the area is joint with other surrounding businesses: B Inside the restaurant itself was an ok amount of ambient lighting: B The service: It was very simplified, fill out the form and submit it to the counter person and wait for the order to arrive. : B The Food : The combination bowl that I ordered was ok , but I didn't think that the portion Size was equal to the price of 22.47 , so this is my Reasoning for a Solid 3 stars with the restaurant itself to make some changes for a better Prophet margin.

Small Poke Bowl (3 scoops)
Matthew W.

Not much to say about Poke One; it's a no frills "make your own poke bowl" style restaurant. Once you enter, you can tell the staff what you want, or write/select your ingredients from their menu cards, and the staff will build your bowl in front of you. I wouldn't say it's necessarily cheap but you can usually end up with a fairly hefty bowl for about $15-20, and they don't skimp on the poke, which is nice. I personally like takeout here, though there's a decent amount of space to sit and eat. While I enjoyed my poke bowl, I think I'd return to try their pre-made beef bowl next, since it seems like good value.

Help! Y'all missed my scoop of tuna. No big deal, and the rest of it was good, but didn't notice till I got all the way home.
Saia R.

Food was good, service was fast and nice, but missed one of my protein scoops. Would recommend, just make sure you check your bowl before you leave. Some of the other food on the menu looked good too. The curry on a cold night sounds good

Small Poke Bowl (3 scoops) with salmon, tuna, and hamachi
Nicole M.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place! My husband and I live really close and shop at the Lucky's. We were feeling sushi one night but didn't want to pay sushi prices so we decided to get poke. It was the right choice! The salmon is really great here! And the tuna and hamachi are good too. I also love that they have pickled radish as a topping! And the sauces are so good. My husband also got some of the sushi rolls which were pretty yummy. This is definitely our new go-to poke spot!

Three proteins with Brown Rice(L)
Ben L.

The spicy tuna burrito was really good. I would get this over a poke bowl because it was more filling. Could use some sauce on the burrito though. It is wrapped in seaweed. Very good for $17.

Diana T.

Not bad for the price and the portion you get! We would come here when we crave sushi but don't want to pay sushi prices. Poke One is the answer! You mark your items on a piece of paper and it gets handed over to be made. Their toppings and add ons are good. Fish is fresh but I'm feel like I'm always greedy and want more than they give. They also have more than just poke bowls!

Curry Chicken Katsu  So delicious!
La Shauna N.

This place is delicious! Stopped in to have lunch. First time there, found it on Yelp. I had curry chicken over rice. Basically a fried chicken breast topped with some pretty tasty curry gravy. Service was ok. Everyone was nice and said bye when I left. The chicken breast was tender, juicy and freshly made. Lots of flavor. Location is good too with plenty of parking. I can't wait to go back and try one of the bowls.

My usual is the poke bowl with spicy tuna, salmon, and shrimp. The food always tastes fresh, the house sauce is so flavorful, and the service is fast! I love coming here

Takoyaki
Mia R.

I ordered the takoyaki and one was inedible and hard. I brought it back in asking to get the single one takoyaki remade. I was made an entirely new order of takoyaki. I was surprised and thankful for the staff member to fix the mistake so generously.

Came here today on president's day holiday. Normally you would order on a piece of paper but I guess they ran out? I got 2 (3 scoop of protein) poke bowl and a beef don. For my poke bowl I got half brown rice and half salad along with my choices of protein: salmon, tuna, and crab salad. It baffled me that crab salad is even considered a protein.... it's usually considered as a topping. The toppings and sides selection is ok. Not as good as poke bowl in colma or icey poke in san jose. The guy who helped me out made my bowl way too saucy. 1 of the poke bowls had just steamed rice while the other had half salad half brown rice. I may have heard wrong but the guy who helped me out today muttered under his breath "ma fan". Which means a hassle in cantonese. Threw me off but the store should've been prepared with those papers to order or just say nothing at all.

Small Poke Bowl (3 scoops) + custom selections
Hazel L.

I think I might have found my new go-to poke spot! I ordered a 3 scoop protein bowl with salmon, tako (octopus), and crab salad. The portion was generous and filling. I went with spicy mayo and miso sauce -- both were flavorful and paired really well with the proteins. I also added kimchi and avocado (an extra $1.50 each), which added a nice kick and texture. It wasn't too busy when I went, so service was quick and efficient. There's a decent amount of seating, and I wouldn't mind dining in next time. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and portion size. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. If you're craving poke and in the area, Poke One is worth checking out!

Stopped by when I was in SF only a couple minutes walk from BART and ordering online was super…read moreconvenient since their website accepts Apple Pay. I ordered the vegetarian curry with tofu and broccoli at the medium spice level (~$17). The spice level was exactly as described and the curry itself was flavorful. My only small complaint is that I wish the vegetarian curry came with a wider variety of vegetables. I was surprised it didn't include potatoes which were an additional charge. The portion size felt fair for one person I had enough to have leftovers for dinner. I do wish the price was a little lower since it's a takeout-only spot, but considering the area, it seems pretty in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown SF. My partner ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth checking out.

A curry katsu dish cost $20 before tips. One downside was the customer service. The woman working the counter came across as unfriendly and didn't seem very welcoming, which made the experience less enjoyable. Also, keep in mind that this is strictly a grab-and-go place. There's no seating available, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere. If you're just looking for a convenient curry lunch, it's fine, but don't expect much in terms of service or dine-in atmosphere.

The food took some time, even though we were the only party at the time that we ordered, but you can tell that it is made of fresh and with love. As someone who enjoys eating flavorful meals, but is also very conscious of healthy choices, I was very grateful that they had grilled chicken curry option since it normally comes fried only, and that you could opt for brown rice instead of white rice. My chicken curry dish was so hearty and flavorful, the curry is housemade and the chicken was very tender We also ordered a chicken Katsu Bento, which was both juicy yet perfectly crisp. It comes with a little bite of soba noodles and a bite of macaroni and that small salad . Order at the counter , and there's a handful of indoor tables The tonkotsu ramen was also delicious - came with two super huge slabs of juicy pork belly and the broth was scrumptiously rich . Glad we ended up here for lunch !

I do see that the curry is prepared different from other curry restaurants and the curry itself is actually very good. Rice to curry ratio is like 80% rice, 20% curry. CHICKEN KATSU CURRY (3.5/5) - chicken is super thin and I wish there was more. EBI FRY CURRY (4/5) - decent, crispy ebi. I actually enjoyed the panko breading and it went well with the curry. Overall, nice casual spot. I can see why it's popular with locals but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place especially with the likes of Curry Hyuga.

It was still good and full of great flavor, but I expected a bit more from the level of spiciness I got. The young guy that was helping me was very nice and attentive. There was this person visiting someone who worked there, I think she was a nurse who worked nearby, who was chatting with her friend (the other server) at such a volume I wonder if the nurse lady knew that inside voices were even an option. That was a little distracting but I don't blame my server for that. I don't care if employees at places want to chat, that's fine. Just be aware of the volume. Overall I'm very glad I went here and the food was delicious.
