    $15 for 5 pieces of salmon. Don't come here.
    Tyli T.

    Absolutely what the hell. I've been coming here for YEARS and have always loved this place, their portions, and quality-- I came here same time last year what happened?? Their service sucked. Not only that, I ordered a small with spicy tuna and salmon and he gave me 5 (FIVE) measly pieces of salmon. I'm paying $15 for rice with a sprinkle of protein. I asked for pineapple in my order which he didn't even give, and I saw him look over at it as well. This place is a joke now. I asked him if that's really all he's giving us and he said yes and I was too stunned to protest, what was the point I saw how stingy he was with the toppings as well. I'm so disappointed with this place and if I could go back in time I would've spent my money elsewhere. I sectioned all the salmon he gave me to show how ridiculous this place has become. DONT COME HERE!

    I love Pokeatery. I first had it during the Covid days at their San Mateo location. That spot was kind of a mess in terms of setup and organization, but the food was solid. They used to have more locations, but it seems like most of them have closed down. I really hope this one sticks around because I think it might be the only one left. What I love most about Pokeatery is that they serve everything in a box instead of a bowl. It makes a huge difference. I never mix my poke. I like eating it piece by piece, kind of like a bento box. Everything stays neat and the flavors don't get all muddled together. I usually get the veggie box even though I'm not vegetarian. But this time I got ahi tuna and spicy tuna. Both were super fresh and hit the spot. One of my favorite things about this place is that they offer kelp noodles as a base. That crunch adds a great texture and I always do half salad, half kelp noodles. If you're a poke fan and haven't tried this place, give it a shot. I really hope they stick around because we've lost too many good spots like this.

    Great toppings but stingy on portions without the option of a surcharge for extra. Just silly.

    Fresh pineapple juice

    I was craving salmon and this was the perfect place. I ordered my personal box. I had white rice, kelp noodles, cucumbers, green onion, seaweed salad,cucumber salad, salmon, spicy ponzu, spicy tempura, cilantro,pickled ginger, kimchi, and edamame. Also had a fresh pineapple juice. All was delish and I was full. The service was fast. The ambiance is all white, enough seating. Seems like most of the traffic they get is to go.

    Spam musubi
    Alex C.

    Disclaimer: This is only a review of their spam musubi. They had a sign outside advertising their spam musubi so decided to stop by and give it a try. I didn't try the poke, but it looked like your standard mainland type poke bar without marinated fish. The musubi was made to order. The worker scooped a large portion of rice and went to the back. She came back with a small container. In it, was a loosely packed musubi cut in half with sauce drizzled on the top of each cross section. I'm not sure they used a musubi mold, as it was so loosely packed and fell apart as soon as I took a bite. The spam was a thick slice, but not marinated at all, and the sauce was an overly sweet teriyaki. It was a big portion but not worth the $5. The musubis at a 7-11 in Hawaii are cheaper and better. Just make your own at home. I would not come back for the musubi, and just looking at the poke, probably wouldn't give it a try either. Worker was nice, though. Easy parking.

    Pokeatery is a local chain of restaurants offering customizable poke boxes. I started mine with a base of Citrus Kale and purple Uala Chips, and my favorite components were the sides of Seaweed Salad and Crab & Spicy Crab Salad. My fish choices included salmon, hamachi (yellowtail), and tako (octopus), along with sides of spicy mayo and spicy oyo sauce. I then topped it off with corn, edamame, mango, pineapple, and furikake. Even though I came at the beginning of the day, the ingredients weren't as fresh as they were on my past visits, though the poke box still made for a nice meal overall!

    Note, this review is more like 3.5 stars. I was charging my car in the nearby parking garage and I had about 30 minutes to kill. It was around lunch time and this place showed up nearby for me. There was no wait, so I was able to place my order really fast. You just go through each step to build your poke bowl, which I found friendly. Food and Drink: It was not as good as I personally thought. My issues with using cardboard/paper containers is that the rice will stick to it. I felt like I lost a bit of my brown rice to that and I don't want to spend some of my time scrapping alongside the walls just to eat. The choices of having 4 protein is nice, since I find that to be the perfect number. However, no free avocado at this place. The sauce selection I had were good. The strawberry lemonade I had alongside it paired nicely. Like the food itself was alright but the price I paid for all this was way more than I anticipated. I spent about $23 or so for this and for the quality and quantity, I can go elsewhere for much less. Probably won't see me coming back anytime soon.

    Haven't been here since I used to work at the plazaand it's even better than I remember. Great customer service although they could probably use an extra hand when it gets busy. It's quiet and chill. Food was delicious of course.

    Consistently good poke. Pretty generous portions, and they have mango as one of the toppings, which I always appreciate. The red cabbage, which is available, and that I thought was an unexpected topping, is especially delicious. The citrus kale, when it is good, it is great, and when it is not good, sadly, not good at all. The salmon and hamachi are always a sure bet. The shrimp are little succulent, maritime delights and the tobiko is fresh and crunchy.

    Poke Box w/ Hamachi and Shrimp Protein - Excellent!
    Shayla B.

    Very impressed with the delicious poke that I had here. I have my go-to spot for poke but there's nothing wrong with trying something new. Luckily for me, Pokeatery was a winner! Dropped by on a weekday night after work. I've passed by Pokeatery several times in the past and always wondered about it. Finally made my way inside and the ladies at the front counter were super sweet. There was one young lady who seemed to be in training, but she was being assisted by another associate. Interior-wise, the space is bright and clean. I was actually kind of shocked to see that there was nobody else inside. I came during mid winter last year, so maybe that's why. Not everyone craves for cold fish during the winter season and I can understand why. Menu-wise, they have a good amount of both protein and mix-in options. Their poke box is one size with three scoops of protein but the portions are generous for the price. They have a couple pre-set poke box options, but it seems to be popular to make your own here. I opted for a poke box with two scoops of shrimp and one scoop of Hamachi. Also tried their fresh POG (passion fruit, orange, guava) juice. Everything tasted really fresh, delicious, and flavorful! A lot of times when I try poke spots, I'm often left hungry after eating everything. But here, I left with a full belly that was nice and satisfied. It's hard to believe that this place is actually a chain, but I must say that my experience here was great. So glad that I finally gave them a chance, and I'm excited to come back again for more that fresh poke goodness.

    Quick fact before I do my review: Before officially being in a relationship, The Hideout Kitchen is…read morewhere we had our very first date. And it was at the former location. So what better place to dine in to celebrate out 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary at The Hideout Kitchen :) We went for dinner. Our server was KEVIN. Simply...HE IS JUST AWESOME. He knows the menu, he knows the history, and has amazing stories to share with everyone. Great guy. A lot of people there that night seemed to be celebrating something. The noise was a bit loud that I felt I had to almost yell to have a conversation with my husband. But the vibe was great. I enjoyed looking around at the decor. We ordered: - TRUFFLE FRIES for appetizers - I loved everything about it. haha. Tastey! - linguine & clams - I ordered this. It was good. However, I felt it was way oily. And after every bite I took, I had to wipe my mouth. And I accidentally spilled oil on my shirt. - PASTA ALLA CARBONE with steak - My husband enjoyed it and started to get full towards clearing out his bowl haha. - SCALLOPED POTATOES - I ordered a side of this. Definitely was not expecting to look the way it did, but I thought the presentation was beautiful. It was good; however, I was not a fan at how crunchy and hard the top first layer was. In a few areas, it was almost burnt. But I thought it was pretty good without the need for a type of sauce on the side. - For drinks, I had to Summer sangria and my husband had the Rumble in the Jungle. We enjoyed it. Definitely hit the spot. No complaints at all about these drinks. - And Kevin surprised us with a dessert to celebrate : Cranberry Bread Pudding. This was delicious. Very flavorful. I am not really into Cranberry, but this is definitely an exception. Loved the fruits on the side as well. The Hideout Kitchen will always have a place in our hearts. We will definitely come back. We still need to try this place out for Brunch. We need to try their UBE pancakes! hehehe. And thanks Kevin for being amazing that night!

The…read moreHideout Kitchen's front patio on a warm morning, as well as their sophisticated interiors, make this eatery a good choice if atmosphere is as important as the food itself. I noticed a couple Filipino-inspired dishes on the brunch menu -- Pulled Pork Silog, & the one we tried, Ube Hotcakes. Fluffy & coated in a deep purple sauce, but they didn't posses the distinct taste of ube. My Breakfast Burrito was very well put together, & so hearty, I could only get through half. Every bite saw a dip into the tasty hot sauce. And like the five-year old that I am, I loved that tater tots were a side option. I wouldn't make the drive from my neck of the woods specifically for the Hideout Kitchen, but should I find myself in Lafayette again, I wouldn't say no to an invite here.
