A much-needed addition to the casual dinner options in the Inner Sunset. - Great portions: the $9.95 bowl is definitely enough to fill you up - Nice employees - Good selection of unique toppings, which include kimchi, rolled egg, and jellyfish. They also use sushi rice instead of regular white rice - Don't want fish? No problem, they have tofu and spam read more

Woah the hot dog bowl place is gone. Actually came here to check out the previous establishment but it's a poke place now. There are now two poke places on Irving within a quarter mile. Same idea as Poki Time but at a cheaper price point. Ingredients seem a tad bit cheaper but everything was decently yummy. Different variety of sauces and toppings is nice. (Kimchi!) The only negative is that the place still smells like hot dogs, which is an odd juxtaposition while eating raw fish. I'm thinking this smell will fade. Overall decent and affordable. read more

Best poke I've had outside Hawaii, and a crazy good deal - even the regular bowl is HUGE, and a steal at $10. Had salmon, ahi and spicy crab salad - everything was super fresh. very good toppings, lots of sauce choices (you can mix two), nice seating area, friendly service. The only downside I can think of to this place is that parking sucks, but that's not really their fault. Go! read more

I've been here 3 times since it's opening and have been thoroughly impressed by the quality and quantity of the fish with the abundance of choices for the ingredients. Their 3 meat portions are hearty to say the least, with a ton of great fish choices from Albacore, Escolar and Hamachi to alternative choices like Scallops, Unagi and even Spam!! I love how they have all my favorite toppings from edamame to masago and tamago!! Super happy this place popped up in the neighborhood and more pleased with this poke place versus it's competitor down the block which is stingy on toppings and always runs out of good white fish. Thank you for keeping the pricing reasonable and using fresh and quality toppings! read more

Poke Origin - 3 meat yummy poke bowl, albacore + scallops + escolar, with all the fixings!!! - Poke Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is alright. I decided to try it out since it took over the hot dog place and the previously fake Quickly's. It was good. The people area really kind and it's cheaper than the other Poke Time down the street. The portions are also bigger too. You can tell this place opened pretty quickly though because there is still a sign on their trash can about hot dogs. Overall, I'd come back. I like that portion sizes are larger and you get more for your money. read more

The general consensus when I go to a poke place, is that I'm always going to be slightly disappointed by the portion vs price ratio. I get it, fish is expensive and you have to make money. It seems that this place has solved that issue. I don't know how they do it or how long they'll be able to sustain; but the portions are stupidly large. I walked outside and overheard another patron's friend exclaimed "Dude, that's hella big!" "I know, this is their small too." read more

We were torn between this place and poke time. For the price, you get way more here, and it is delicious. For three scoops of protein, you pay 10$. That's really not bad, and everything is fresh. I would absolutely go back. read more

This is the best Poke place in inner sunset. What they do right: - big servings -crisp firm rice -fresh ingredients like seaweed salad and green onions - high turnover and quick production - sauces are not too salty Great spot! read more

Too bad to hear the hot dog place was relocated to stonestown mall near SFSU under construction at the moment. Pro: The store is brighter, clean and neat place to study, relax and talks Employees are friendly and walk through the menu with each customers Greet every customers came into the store Big portions compare other competitor( one block away) No contaminations. ( big issue for me since peanut & egg allergy) Plenty of wall plugs for charger Healthy food Knowledge and helpful Solve issue/mistake right at front Nav: Less tables because of the line Menu is opposite than the setup No public restroom No more shake fries(my favor) Overall the place is recommend it to friends and family. This might be my favorite poke restaurant in inner sunset. Leave with a happy face. Will be back thanks team read more

I love, love, love this place! There are a ton of Poke places in the city, and I've tried many of them! Between this and PokiHub, these two are definitely my favorite poke places in the city so far. It really depends on which side of town I am closer to for the day that I will go to lol. I've heard about this place for a while now, but haven't had a chance to give it a try until about a week ago. The portions are very generous! The first time I went, I ordered a large (5 scoops) while it was pretty empty inside (after lunch hours around 2-3pm), and the gentleman working there gave me what seemed to be like 7-8 scoops of protein instead (YAY LOL!). The house sauces are great, fish seems fresh and flavorful too! Can't complain, and the price is great too! My only complaint is that they charge for mango and pineapple topping ($0.50 each I think?) where as other places are free, and they count crab as one of your protein scoops as well. Other places will generally allow you 5 scoops of protein, and give you crab additionally for free as a "side choice" or something like that. All in all though, this is not quite a HUGE deal breaker to me, as it's more than decent for the price still. read more

ESCOLAR! First time at Poke Origin and I can finally say I found a new favorite poke spot in the city. Probably because this place reminds me a lot of Poke Bowl. Except.... they have Escolar!!! Also known as Walu, a Hawaiian butterfish. A MUST try if you are a salmon lover. Slightly sweet with a buttery texture. Ive been to many poke places and this is the first to have Escolar and Lobster Tail! They also have a wide range of toppings to choose from. Must try if youre lucky enough to find parking in the area :p read more

Hands down Poke Origin chain is my favorite poke bowl of all. They always top off the bowl and make your meal look like they're for advertisements. Definitely a filling experience unlike 95% of pokebowl places in San Francisco. read more

Poke Origin - A filling experience and looks amazing. - Poke Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place took over the old Irving Cafe/Takuya Hot Dog location and I wanted to see how it compared to Poki Time down the street. I must say, the two places are pretty evenly matched in terms of quality and price, but if you're looking for a greater selection, Poke Origin has the upper hand. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- There is a ridiculous selection of ways you can customize your poke bowl. For the bases, in addition to the standard white rice and mixed greens, there are also kelp noodles, nachos, and kale. The kelp noodles look like vermicelli. Their sushi rice was perfectly tangy, not bland like you get at some other poke places. The protein selection standouts include less common items like escolar, lobster tail (+$6), and spam. I usually go for the fattier fish so I chose two scoops of salmon and escolar. I have never had escolar before but it was delicious!! It was soft and pretty much melted in my mouth. I would highly recommend giving it a try. There are also less common toppings like kimchi, jellyfish, edamame, and oshinko (yellow pickled radish) -- personally, I thought the jellyfish and the kimchi added a sourness to the mix that I didn't really appreciate. 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- It's $9.95 for 3 scoops of protein and $12.95 for 5. They use a small scoop, but my server definitely topped off each scoop so that my 3 scoops came out to look more like 5. My pet peeve for poke places is when crab mix costs extra or counts as a protein. The seaweed salad is free, but fruit (mango, pineapple, avocado) is extra. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- There was only one person working behind the counter when I came and I was the only customer, but she took the time to explain the different toppings to me. She was generous with the portions and also fast/efficient. A lukewarm bonus star because while I prefer this place over Poki Time, it's still not my favorite place in the Bay Area. I'd come back if I'm craving poke in SF. TL;DR: SO many options, generous portions, try the escolar! read more

Big portions for the price, tasty. Avocado was a little over ripe as you can see in the photo. Good sauces, good quality of fish and rice. Overall yummy! I would go back. read more

This was amazing. Highly recommend if you like fish. If you don't like raw fish, you're missing out on life in general. I was a little sad when the hotdog place closed but this is way better. read more

Meh, a bit expensive, even for Poke. The checklist thing was a bit annoying because I prefer to just point to what I want, I may as well have ordered online. They also charge you through the nose for some toppings that are usually free. read more

This probably going to be my favorite poke bowl in town. Nice clean, neat and friendly staffs. There was coupe people ahead of me, but the line goes pretty quick, they also offer ubereats Doordash+ Ordered a large bowl (5scoops) with salmon, tuna, hamachi, shrimp and unagi over brown rice Can't imaging the large bowl is super heavy(est 1lb+) split into two meals, kept one for lunch tomorrow Proteins are fresh, especially not many poke bowl offer unagi, but kinda pricy, extra $2 for 3 pieces, but they are big. Overall pretty satisfied with my visit, will definitely recommend to all my friends and family. For who haven't try yet, you must try, no regret read more

Was excited to try it and read great things but was sad when they forgot one type of meat and the other two were lacking. Was one of the more disappointing poke bowls I've had. read more

So happy I stumbled upon this place. Positives: - I LOVE how you get so much for what you pay for!! - You can choose 3 proteins and unlimited toppings. - The salmon is on fleek - Sturdiest plastic spoons... - Tons of outlets - pleasant Jesus music Negatives: - There's not a ton of seating but luckily it wasn't an issue since I came at 4pm. - No bathrooms read more

Huge bowl of poke for less than the competition. More choices for proteins and toppings, though the kimchi is a more acidic than it should be. Jellyfish? Weeeeee. The house sauces are a tad spicy, even the mild, so opt for something that's obviously not, like miso, yuzu, or eel sauce. read more

The fish is pretty good, decent portions most of the time, occasionally inconsistent like putting white rice instead of brown, or forgetting toppings but usually good. Today though I checked jalapenos and I only got literally 2 slices cut into 4 halves for the whole bowl so there's that. More pls. read more

We ordered Poke Origin via Caviar. The mixed greens tasted fresh. I got Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and Crab with the Mild House sauce. Cucumber was good - not soggy! The poke was pretty standard and decent, nothing super special. read more

After trying poke origin again, it has quickly become one of my favorite poke places on SF. They have a wide variety of customization options including unagi sauce as a topping option which is delicious! Would recommend! read more

Wow! What a poke bowl. The amount of customization you can do with these bowls assures me I will be back again...and again, and probably a few more times to try everything. I have never tried a kelp noodle, but what the hell, I gave it a shot with half mixed greens. Everything is delicious with poke on top! If you're wondering, they have no taste, just add a crunch. I enjoyed them but it would probably be better as an addition rather than a base, you only need a little! I couldn't wait to dig in while waiting for the N, so I started going to town while this 84 year-old woman sitting next to me watched me take every bite. Finally she had to ask me where I got something so delicious looking. For the price, this place is really awesome and at a great location too. I just hope they stay open! read more

Quality gone went down. Small portion, wait every time I ordered ahead. Not sure what happen, don't want to be mean, but my large poke powl cost $16 jump to few chunk of fish all of a sudden so I want to make sure owner is aware. Used to be a must stop place. Definitely agree with the comments here read more

I've been to this place maybe 10 times already. This review is for my last visit, which will be my last! My friend and I each ordered a poke bowl. Our poke bowls were drowned in sauce (see pics). This made everything super salty. We couldn't enjoy it. Also, I ordered imitation crab as one of my protein but she put scallop on there instead. I didn't make a big deal as I eat both. She also put a HUGE scoop of WASABI in my friend's bowl and when we went to pay, she told us she put the wasabi there by accident. Then asked if my friend wanted it taken out. Well duh! And then she asks if she wants a new cap too because it's smothered in wasabi. My friend said yes. The wasabi was still in the bowl but my friend didn't bother to ask for a new bowl. Also the miso soup was basically just seaweed. read more

I was visiting SF from San Diego and I usually go to Poke one & half over here and I wanted to give this place a try since I was craving a poke bowl. The kelp noodles tasted like plastic, the rice was cold and hard, shrimp was alright but the mild sauce made it gross. The tuna tasted like frozen tuna cubes they sell at any business store. The imitation crab was super pink and also tasted fake and gross. Did not taste fresh whatso. Worst $22 spent. I only tried it because I saw a couple of positive reviews and ignored the negative but I should've listened to the negative reviews. read more

Lived on maui before jumping back over. This was as close as it gets to a poke bowl in Hawaii. Best bang for the buck also. I'll be back so good. I got the tako,salmon, & ahi. read more

This is for delivery. I asked for the sauce on the side. It did not come on the side. It's a pretty simple request...I used to work in restaurants, one that used these delivery apps so I know it's not very hard to do. I hate when sauce is added to the bowl it basically ruins it me. Better tasting poke places elsewhere anyway. read more

Never in my time in SF have I ever had enough portions until I had poke origins regular size bowl. Everything is fresh and in liberal portions AND for a reasonable price. Also every other poke place over prices their small portions. hope it stays this way! read more

Really good fresh poke! I love the ponzu sauce with seared albacore (the coating on the outside adds something magical to the taste) The poke is not oily at all and very savory. Hey also come in pretty big chunks which are juicy to bite into. A must go if you're craving poke in the area! read more

Great selection variety! Crab salad is part of the protein. Seaweed salad no additional cost read more

Man- twice in a month I went here with a friend for dinner and both times we both spent the evening in the bathroom to say it lightly. I used to happily go here with no problems but after 2 wasted nights in the bathroom in a month, never again. Also the person making the bowls was handling persons credit cards and going back to making bowls without changing gloves. Not ok. read more

As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I've long loved Poki Time and was excited to see how Poke Origin stacked up. I went in for my first bowl today...and Poki Time is definitely still the winner for me. Poke Origin pros - Great variety of base, proteins, toppings. Big portions. Fast, friendly service. Poke Origin cons - QUALITY. I was so excited to dig into my gorgeous bowl of mixed greens + kelp noodle base, salmon/tuna/spicy crab proteins, and pretty much all the toppings. And it was unfortunately sort of gross. The kelp noodles have a terrible after taste, the fish had a soggy defrosted consistency and taste, and half the toppings tasted stale (I went in at peak lunch time, so really no reason for that...). If you're in the neighborhood and want some poke, I'd definitely stick with Poki Time! read more

I got the chicken teriyaki bowl which had seaweed salad, kimchee, sweet corn, cucumbers, and edamame on rice. The combination of all the things tasted pretty good. The teriyaki sauce was a bit different than most places but was still palatable. Chicken was a bit too soft for my taste. My friend loved his custom bowl though with lots of seafood and veggies. It was his first time eating poke and he was definitely up to have more. This place is not very good if you're looking for other alternatives to seafood though. Only thing they have is spam, tofu, and teriyaki. Additionally, the workers got so overworked during the dinner rush that they couldn't do other stuff like refilling the water machine or throw out the trash so that was kind of annoying. read more

I really enjoyed the variety of options they have in terms of protein, sauces, and toppings compared to other poke places. It is also comparatively cheaper than other places for the number of scoops of protein you get! I thought that would mean quality would be lowered, but I was super happy with the value. I got a regular size, and the food was more than enough for me (considering that I eat a lot). I could only imagine getting a large to share. They don't skimp on toppings, either. Overall super tasty!! read more

Poke Origin - Regular size, salmon/spicy tuna/imitation crab. Def recommend salmon! - Poke Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a cool place. The flavored were good and the seafood tasted fresh. The cashier gave us a rundown of how it works on the order form- pick your base, proteins, sauces etc. basic BYO style restaurant. It's an additional cost to add some of the toppings and proteins. I ordered the sushi rice with hamachi, salmon and ahi tuna. My friend ordered brown rice with salmon escolar and octopus. Both bowls are fresh and yummy. I like that there is both raw and non-raw options. Overall this is just a place that is now hard Not to go to if I am in inner sunset. Service are excellent. You really get what you pay for, and it's a healthy choice as well! Can't beat that. read more

They have many fish options to choose from but the amount they give you are very limited and fishes are not fresh. Tuna tasted something wrong so I stopped eating the whole poke ball in the middle. But I still had a diareha that night... I need to find another poke place... :( read more

This place was not welcoming. We came from out of town and I had wanted some poke and since it was the closest I decide to go here. This place is located along many other eateries. I should had chose a different restaurant. When we arrived there was no greeting. The menu was limited from what I was use to. I wanted my sauce on the side and was told I had to pay extra even when it wasn't an additional sauce I was getting. They left out 2 other selected items that I selected on the menu and when I went back to inform them there attitude was not pleasant. In addition instead of fixing what they left out, they charge me for the items they left out. I recommend you don't go here as the selection was not all that great nor the food. Your better off spending your money elsewhere. read more

Since my go-to poke spot in the city has temporarily closed, I have been coming here since their quality is good. But the last two times I ordered have not been the best. First, they got my order mixed up with someone else whose name was similar to mine. I had ordered only one poke bowl, and was delivered two poke bowls plus two miso soups plus a seaweed salad. I felt bad for whoever got my order! Second time, the portions were very small and I was missing two toppings. I continue to come here because the staff is pretty diligent with their mix ups, but it shouldn't keep happening. I do like the options that they have and they're very quick otherwise. read more
