I come here all the time and they hands down have the best poke bowls in the area!! Everything is super fresh and tasty and their sauces are unique and flavorful. I have truly been disappointed with poke in the Bay Area since moving back out here from La but this place knows what they are doing! read more

Poke Star Sushi - Poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Quality/Quantity - As you can tell from my excessive pictures... I am a regular customer and a creature of habit. So we got our usual Oakland (I mean LV) Raiders Tray; lol. And of course, to wash it all down, a Pliny Beer (had plenty at the house). Atmosphere - They opened up the dining room and bathroom at the end of last year, see pictures. Plenty of mall parking; we got a space right in front of the business. Open kitchen. Service - Consistent and good. Price - Like everything else, the prices continue to increase. Actually, the prices are similar to dine in prices, so when we are not too tired, we come here. Otherwise we would dine at your competitors. Your competitor's happy hours might even be less expensive. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018 and your success since you took over. And thanks for having a website now. BTW - You might still want to update your "About the Business" on Yelp. Or are you giving 10% off? I have never received that offer... read more

I threw it away. I ordered here because I was really hungry and in a hurry and it was nearby. I wish I didn't because as soon as I looked at the food I knew I wouldn't like it. I've never seen chicken teriyaki so light in color. I knew I wouldn't like it, but I attempted to eat it. I took a few bites and immediately threw away the entire plate. There is a side of chicken teriyaki sauce that adds very little flavor to the already flavorless chicken. Seriously, the chicken had no flavor at all! I don't recommend. read more

Poke Star Sushi - 3 protein bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

I would call it like - the chipotle of Poke Bowls lol But It was a little confusing how to order. I just grabbed a set bowl they had. I'm not picky about food and I enjoyed every bite. I do wish the space was cleaner. As a business owner I didn't always have the cleanest spaces and I recognize that in hindsight and this is kind of the thing that even if you didn't want to dine in, sticks out like a sore thumb That's why often I take photos of my reciept and the bathroom of spaces for my reviews. Poke for thought. I would come back but understanding that they probably don't have the freshes and best cuts but in a pinch it satisfies my poke needs read more

Thus is my go to for sushi. This time I decided to try a poke bowl. I was hesitant because I am used to thevcafeteria style set up. Where you pick what you want as you move along. Here you can't see them assemble your food. I got the ahimahi bowl. Incredible!! Fresh and delicious 10/10. (I substituted corn for jalapeños ) read more

Food: fresh and delicious! Perfection in a bowl. I was worried I would have to order à la carte, but there was a printed flyer to check off what you want in your poke bowl at the counter. Phew! Service: Very friendly, very helpful, superfast Ambiance: Well I don't know if poke star is still in pandemic mode, but there's no seating inside, just the counter and blocking off the rest of the entry area with tables, as others do too. The thing that mattered most: the food! Did they succeed? They excelled! No photos available, I ate in the car and so fast and digested it wonderfully well. read more

A solid sushi and poke takeout spot. I have been getting takeout from this place for the past few years and their food is very consistent. Price is reasonable and portion size is good. I stopped by to order their california roll and a drink a few weeks back and the wait was short. It took less than 15 minutes from ordering to food arrival. The California roll was decent and fresh and the drink was not too sweet. It's like a hole in the wall place and only take out orders are accepted. read more

"Poke Star Sushi" is located in the Marina Faire Shopping Center in San Leandro, CA. It's at the corner of Doolittle Drive & Fairway, next door to Subway Sandwiches. I tried this place on a weeknight just before closing. In fact, when I walked in the guy said they were closed. But he said if I ordered fast, they could quickly make it. So I scanned the menu, and I decided to get the- "Passion Salmon Roll" and a "Dragon Roll." As they made my rolls, they told me all about their business. He strongly suggested I order ahead of time using their website and come pickup my food. Those rolls were good. The ingredients were fresh and had no stale fishy smell. The presentation for takeout was neat and organized. This place is takeout or delivery only, as there's no dining room available. I don't know if they set up tables outside in the daytime. So why 4-stars? Because the restaurant looks untidy. The dining room is being used as a storage area, and there's stock everywhere. The restroom is not available to customers, so why not partition off that part of the restaurant so people can't see it? I'm not being picky! If a restaurant looks messy, that affects a customer's expectations. If you order delivery, this doesn't affect you. So, in summary, Poke Star serves good sushi rolls, has good service, but needs to tidy up their restaurant. Menu items include: - Poke Bowls - Sashimi/ Nigiri - Sushi Rolls - Bento Box - Soup, Salad, and Drinks Would I come again? Yes! - free parking in lot Support Local Business! read more

First time I've seen a poke place that offers unagi as part of the poke bowl protein options. A lot of poke places that have unagi, they just serve it with rice. I prefer it has a poke bowl so I can have a little bit of everything. I also got spicy tuna with my poke bowl which was good. Everything tasted great and I would definitely come here again. This is a take out place only. There are no tables inside to dine in. read more

Poke Star Sushi - Unagi bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

First off - they only have take out. This is fine but this should be advertised. We took two cars out here so everyone could fit in our party and then had to drive all the way back home to eat it. If we had known there was no seating inside we could have just had someone pick up the food and all the kids playing at home instead of dragging everyone over there and back for nothing. As someone else mentioned the ambiance is lacking. It's pretty messy and has tons of boxes and stuff. The service is fine. It's hard to tell since they just take your order make it and hand it to you but it was fine. We ordered: Wow roll, Basil salmon roll, Oakland A's tray (spicy tuna roll, crunchy shrimp roll and California roll), Dragon roll and a salmon lover poke bowl. My favorites were the crunchy shrimp roll and the Dragon roll. I think we all liked the dragon roll the best. The sushi was good and presented nicely. I am guessing if the service was good and we could have sat down we might give it a 5 but it's not the same when you don't have the little ramekins to mix your wasabi and soy sauce in to dip your sushi in. I would come again but I would just send one car instead of two and pick it up. Then I would bring ramekins to my mom's since she doesn't have any. read more

I went here to pick up lunch on a Thursday and there was no line. You can only order to go since they blocked off the seating area. I ordered a build your own Poke bowl by filling out a paper with my selections. Prices are about average for what I usually see for these types of bowls now a days. I ordered salmon, hamachi and scallops along with other toppings. The fish was okay not the freshest ever but also not the worst quality ever. I didn't really like that the scallops had the outer part still attached. I don't know if that's a normal thing but usually see it removed. If I need a quick bite to eat in this area I may return but not at the top of my list. read more

Ordered for takeout and I got the tekka makki, so hot roll, and wow roll. The hot roll was the best one and it was spicy due to the sauce and the mini jalapeños - I love spicy anyway, so it was good to me! The other two rolls were fine as well. Decent size sushi. And the service was super fast!! Less than 15 minutes and the food was ready for takeout. They also provided utensils & soy sauce. There is a (free) parking lot too. I would order from here again. read more

Ordered online, there's no sit down area but service was fast, the poke bowl I ordered was filled to the brim!! Ordered a create your own 3 protein bowl: spring mix, salmon, shrimp, crab salad, with toppings: seaweed salad, tofu skin, oshinko, corn, cucumber, edamame, tamago, masago, crispy noodle, and avocado (+$1.25) with unagi sauce, total was around $19 I will keep coming back and I highly recommend this place to others in search of a yummy filling poke bowl! read more

Wanted to get sushi for my mom's birthday dinner and this spot was perfect! We went a day ahead to order since our order was pretty big and they had no issues with it. Went to pick up the next day and it was a very easy process. The sashimi platter we got isn't online but in their store menu. So glad we got it because the sashimi pieces were huge! I've never seen sashimi slices so big from such a casual take out restaurant. Very impressed. The sushi rolls are also very delicious, they're a good size without an overwhelming amount of rice. The chicken katsu is also a really big portion! For the price you pay, this spot is very worth it and the quality is amazing. Only down side is that it is take out only but not a huge deal. read more

Heard about poke star through a friend. Wanted to order sushi for a family dinner and decided on poke star because of their mini trays. I hate deciding what rolls to order and the mini trays made it easy to have a variety of rolls. each mini tray has 3 rolls. We ordered 3 mini trays to feed 7 people. It was really good. My husband picked up the order and said the restaurant is a take out place only. read more

Used to be my fav poke spot in SLN, but last two times that I tried again, they have been skimping on protein portions and fish tasted a bit off. I've been going to Hawaiian Poke on Floresta since they are more generous with the protein portions and ingredient always tastes fresh. read more

How things change? Said I would go back and try other things after a favorable first time. Ordered the Warriors Tray which had a Dragon King, Lion King, and Bay Scallop Roll. Took it home and opened it up and saw that they had burnt the mayo based topping on the latter two named rolls. Not good. This should never happen. Check your rolls before you leave the site. Also tried the Signature Poke Bowl which comes with three proteins, ours came with cooked bay shrimp, chopped up spicy tuna, and hamachi, ... pass on this bowl unless you like cooked bay shrimp, suggest a build your own poke bowl where you pick your own proteins,.. ahi, hamachi, other... Bay Shrimp is inexpensive and should be a topping and not a base protein... read more

ONE OF MY GO TO SUSHI STOPS! First of all, it's a hole in the wall! My cousin works nearby and told me she loved it so I went. I have been going back ever since! The fish is so fresh and you get more than you paid for! YES FOR SUSHI! My favorite is the Warrior's Tray because you get three rolls for $30! Lion King, Dragon Roll & Bay Scallop roll. My fave of the three is the bay scallop roll! I'm not sure what it is, but the sauce is so creamy and melts everything together! The BEST bay scallop roll I've ever had! It's always on my MUST HAVE whenever I order from here. The poke bowl is so delicious! Again... you get more than what you pay for and everything tastes so yummy together! Love the toppings too! Notables: -whenever I order online, my pick up time is always pushed back at least 30mins so take that into account whenever ordering. -parking is a bit difficult in front of the store but there's a hub parking lot around. During lockdown, this place became the one that stole my sushi heart, lol! read more

Poke Star Sushi - Warrior's Tray $30 - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

First time in this place. I Chose it because of 4+ yelp rating. First bite of so hot roll(spicy tuna roll), i could tell tuna is not fresh. The hot sauce they put and jalapeño on top of the roll could not hide the fishy taste. I also ordered cherry blossom roll and its same story. Spicy tuna poke bowl with salad is the worst. I tried to wash it down by drinking soda but it is so bad that i could still spell and taste the unpleasant fishy taste. I understand that this is made of fresh fish. I had many fresh fish before from other sushi place this is definitely the worst. I know what a good sushi/roll should taste and smell like. This is not it!! We end-up throwing it away. Waste of food and money. I will never come back to this place!!! No star if possible. read more

Poke almost always makes me happy, and Poke Star was a great find. Their fish tasted fresh, and their poke came with some unusual choices of sides, like tamago and tofu skin. I had the creamy garlic sauce, not so authentic but very delicious. It's a hole on the wall with the inside blocked off. You fill out an order form, then wait outside while they make it for you. So don't expect romantic restaurant dining. Not even outside tables. Strictly to go, and a lovely meal. read more

My kids love their California roll. Service is fast. Ordered to go as they do not provide option to dine in.

Poke Star got us thru Shelter In Place! Making food delivery feel like you're still dining at the restaurant. Quality ingredients and presentation still intact when it arrives at your own table at home. An absolute treat of a dinner! Our go to rolls: 1. Double Hamachi 2. Passion Salmon Roll 3. Cherry Blossom Roll read more

Food is good but they forgot to add the octopus (tako) to my poke bowl. I find that really frustrating because you only get 3 small scoops of protein and I'm missing one so there is not very much fish in my bowl. Price is about the same as anywhere else for a poke bowl. read more

I used to like them a lot it's a great option for this neighborhood but then yesterday I placed an order and went to pick it up and had an automatic tip added to my bill of over three dollars. I drove the two blocks from my house I understand a service charge of one dollar but it was almost 5 dollars added to my bill just for two small sushi orders. The tall woman who did it seemed in a hurry for me to sign my bill and shush me out the door while I was looking at my receipt - I don't understand how this is even legal! On top of that their place is a mess. They don't let you sit inside and eat any more takeout only. I think they won't be around much longer, too bad. . read more

The food is usually very good, but it's the second time in two weeks that they forget to put extra sauce in the bowl. They only put one of the sauces out of the three ordered on each of the orders, so it was just spicy. To top it off they charge you extra for tiny containers of sauce. Very bummed because I took the time to tell them about the prior experience. read more

I see this place every time I go to the supermarket in the same plaza but never stopped to come by. I finally decided to when one of my friends told me about it. And it was definitely worth the stop. I ordered the Warrior Tray and it comes with the Lion King roll, Bay Scallop roll, and Dragon roll. Each roll is sooo big and the tray was about $30 which you can't get at most sushi restaurants for such a great price. I shared this with a friend and we were sooo full we couldn't finish so this can easily feed 3 people! Next time that I am craving sushi, I will definitely come here. read more
