    Lobster & Tuna Bomb
    Robert W.

    Crazy flavor for the value. $6 for 2 pieces of lobster or tuna bomb. 2 orders pictured Pro Tip - get their spicy mayo Fish was yummy, the rice was good, the tofu skin was sweet & had a slight char. Perfect snack for picnics

    Dynamite Shrimp Plate
    Stephanie L.

    I had a $50 gift card that was ready to be used, so this gave me a chance to try this spot out. First off, I tried to order online, and the code did not work on the website, so I had to proceed to go and order in person. I ask for yuzu ponzu salmon bowl to have everything except green onions, and I received a bowl that has it =/ . You can definitely see the miso soup is two different colors. One is darker, and the other is lighter. The darker is the miso soup, and the lighter has no taste. It's literally just hot water and green onions. They forgot to flavor it, pretty disappointing. For the price point, it's expensive. I saw they charge me for the 3 plates + an additional charge of a regular plate since they asked me if I wanted white or brown rice. I'm not sure if that's right. I saw if I were to order online, there wouldn't be an additional charge of $16 for a regular plate. Of course, I had the gift card, but I didn't think it'll cost that much.

    All of their food is from the cans, you are literally eating the canned food! Not fresh at all!

    Large Poke Bowl (~$18) - 4/5 stars
    Melanie H.

    Returned for another visit only because I had a 20% off code, and I enjoyed my bowl way more than last time. Highly recommend umami shoyu + sriracha aioli + sweet unagi sauce. I ordered with sweet shoyu last time and the ginger flavor was so overwhelmingly strong. I would really only come when there's discount codes. The poke is good but nothing that I'd go out of my way for.

    Salmon bomb
    Emily M.

    Finally a place that does not skimp on their portions!! I had a pretty big order but the worker was super nice and patient with ensuring everything was made correctly. All of the fish was super fresh I would highly recommend the salmon bomb

    Poke Bowl Large
    Alex L.

    I ordered the Poke Bowl - Large for take out, which comes with three choice of protein and a bunch of side. The portion was massive with all the sides available. Only down side is there wasn't a whole lot of fish despite getting three protein, but the sides made up for it. I ordered the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and chili crisp shrimp, with the Pokeworks classic sauce and Hawaiian salt and chili. My bowl came out pretty spicy. I was sweating eating it, my tongue got a bit tingly (maybe there was Sichuan pepper somewhere?). It was packing a good amount of heat. Fish was very fresh and tender. You can choose any of the side you want, but make sure to get the Surimi (aka imitation crab) salad. Overall delicious, I had to put the leftover away to avoid over eating.

    Strawberry guava fresca
    Allison S.

    We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and found parking on the street. I ordered the poke your bowl (customizable bowl) and chose Ahi tuna and shrimp and chose cucumber, edamame, Hijiki seaweed, corn, and furikake on white rice. The Ahi tuna is melt in your mouth soft and the shrimp and everything tastes so fresh! The strawberry guava fresca tasted good, a little bit of artificial flavoring. It's a good poke spot I would recommend it! The staff was helpful and the ambiance was clean and new-looking!

    my boyfriend and i love this place since it's so convenient and nearby our place. we get this pretty often and sometimes it can be a hit or miss. today we got our 2 protein bowls and the portion size is lacking significantly. we used to be able to not see the rice but we see way more rice this time. it's giving chipotle stingy. depending on who the worker is, you'll either get a lot or get a costco sample size. truly ridiculous. we typically order pickup through the app but we might just start ordering in person to make sure we're not getting skimped out on our $18 bowl of poke.

    Ponzu salmon
    Alfred L.

    I placed a mobile order for a single scoop ponzu salmon with nachos but got... tuna with rice? I asked the staff about this mixup and they told me they ran out of salmon and nachos. Instead of refunding my order they insisted I accept the bowl for what it was. Essentially I paid $15 for a tiny bowl that wasn't even filled all the way. How on earth does this place have 3.9 stars?

    Large bowl
    Anna L.

    A large bowl was about $22 total but it didn't seem like a big portion. Especially for some of the toppings I only got a small spoonful. That was okay but the real issue was that they gave waaaay too much sauce. It was okay when I first started eating but as I got near the middle of the bowl, everything included the rice was drenched in sauce. It was also so incredibly salty that I couldn't eat it anymore. Had to throw away the rest even though I wasn't full. So unfortunate.

    As of July 2024 their prices are $16.95 for a regular size (2 proteins) and $19.75 for a large (3 proteins). Pretty solid place to get poke, not much to complain about. I got a regular bowl with salmon and the quality was not bad. Also they don't charge any additional cost for seaweed salad or imitation crab which is always a plus! There's a decent amount of seating but it's all long tables so may not be able to accommodate many different parties of people.

    Found this spot searching for poke on google! It's located under apartment buildings and there is a parking garage with designated spots. We were greeted and serviced right away by the employees. You can choose a bowl from their menu or create your own. There are two bowl sizes, regular and large. I chose to create my own regular bowl with salmon and additional toppings. The only add on was the avocado for $1.50. I also got a mango lemonade which was super refreshing and not too sweet! The bowl itself was quite enjoyable, the fish was fresh and I liked the crunchiness of the wonton chips! Overall super good poke spot. Our total was around $40 for two bowls and a drink, which is pretty standard for poke. I'd definitely come back and try different items off the menu!

    Found this place down street from where I work and hands down one of the best poke places I have tried so far in the Bay Area. This has to be my next go to place if I am ever craving poke in the area! I placed my order online website and it was super easy to navigate through. As you walk inside, it's very clean and organized, a ton of places to sit down as well. There's a free parking garage you can park at which is a nice bonus! I ordered a pick 2 with half white rice, half salad with spicy tuna and spicy salmon. This has to be easily the best combo they offered so far, I mean the flavor is just super fresh and delicious, you can't go wrong with this at all. By the time I finished it, I felt like I needed more because it's just that amazing! For those that love spicy, I would add spicy Sereno aioli to the side for the addition flavor. Overall, one of the best poke spots that I have been to so far! Just wished the portions were a little bit bigger in my personal opinion. I will be definitely coming back to try their different protein options!

    The amount of protein in a large bowl is just sad. For the money there are a lot of other poke places that do it better.

I also liked how seaweed salad was included as a topping! The portion size is good for the price you pay. One thing I would change is that the sushi rice was more on the colder side and I would've liked it to be room temp/warmer like how other places have it. The shop looked clean and is conveniently located in a plaza on Capitol Expwy with lots of parking. I'll be back when I need my next poke fix!

I had spoken with the owner at the time--who was very kind--and based on that interaction, I chose to take my earlier review down. Unfortunately, this experience left me just as disappointed as before. I placed an order through DoorDash and received it about 45 minutes later, which I understood since the app noted they were busier than usual. No issue there. The problem started when I checked the receipt on the sealed bag--it had my name and all the correct ingredients listed. However, when I opened it (and it was clearly still sealed, so not a driver issue), it turned out to be someone else's order entirely, with completely different items. This is very similar to my previous experience, where part of my order was missing altogether. At this point, it's hard to justify giving them another chance. It's especially frustrating because the food itself has been great when it's correct. Issues like this point to a lack of quality control, whether that's from insufficient training or not taking enough care when preparing orders. Poke isn't cheap, so when mistakes like this happen--especially more than once--it's incredibly disappointing. Sadly, this will likely be the last time I order from here.

We come often and get a large amount of poke and their quality always meets expectations every time. It's only window ordering (and not a sit down restaurant) so wait times can get a little lengthy with many people coming during lunch breaks and with it just being a popular place. I definitely recommend to order through their website online before you start driving! I always get to skip in front of the pick up line and just pick up my food when I arrive. Their parking lot only has about 7 spots and is almost always full but the spots can open up quick with everyone coming in and out. There's a lot of street parking too. The environment is great here. They also have many snacks and Hawaiian Sun drinks! I would love to try their mochi in the future. Always happy to come and get Santo Market!

Great value for the money. It's a takeout only spot but that's part of the charm. Grab and go, with even a text system to ping you right when it's ready. Combined with very pleasant ordering experience, even for a slow first timer, it's hard to argue this place doesn't deserve all the props. Tried their bbq tritip platter as well! It's on the plainer side with simple salt seasoning but well seasoned. I personally prefer more sauce but you can get pretty far just rice and meat. Ample rice btw and hard to beat at the price point. Comes with a small side salad. Cucumber with seaweed is a nice combo I'll need to use myself.

I got the large bowl with the soba noodle option (my first time getting it). This was like any other poke places, but the toppings offered were a lot more! I like that they had, mango, pineapple, radish, tomatoes, and chicharrones. And I LOVED that avocado, crab salad, and seaweed salad were already included in the price. I got the last of the soba noodles, so I was surprised that even though it was closing, she went into the back to get me more soba noodles even though it seemed like the amount she had given me was enough. they also allowed however many sauces you wanted to marinate the fish in. I chose unagi, the house sauce and ponzu. I also asked for spicy mayo drizzle at the end. my brother got the wasabi mayo but he said he barely tasted the wasabi when mixed in. total came out to be around $40 for two large bowls. I wasn't sure what I was expecting for the soba noodles, but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. the sauces from the marinade seeped into the noodles gave it a nice light flavor. the fish was fresh and chicharrones were such a good contrast with the crunch (im a huge textures girl). I was able to eat half and and save the other half for lunch the next day. because I got soba noodles, I did not have to worry about heating up rice and separating the fish, so it was perfect. This might be a new way im gonna have to eat my poke from now on!

For around $20 after tax for a medium size, the bowl felt a bit small, especially when it came to the amount of fish. Flavor wise it was solid, but I left wishing it was a little more filling. If you value quality over quantity, this place is worth checking out, but hopefully they'll consider slightly larger portions in the future.
