Very pricey in my opinion but bowls are amazing. Always a regular here. The signature ice teas aren't good.

DO NOT EAT HERE!! Got extremely sick from the food I ate here haven't ate in over 2 days because of this establishment. Do not waste your time or health at this place. Stay far away. read more

Waited in a long line and my regular bowl is smaller than a small bowl. Small cuts of fish now WTF is wrong with the workers how hard is it to do your dam job? This place is going down hill read more

I could eat here every day! Staff is super friendly, very accomodating. Ingredients are always fresh and there are so many options to customize your bowl! The place smells fresh and clean, not like some other poki places that smell very stronlgy. They don't charge you extra for avocado or masago and that is a huge PLUS because I love both! My bowl is always perfect.... that's a problem, because I also want to try the poki burritos... maybe one day...! read more

Ordered a large bowl through door dash. 5 scoops of fish came out to be 7 pieces of fish. As a frequent customer of Poki One N Half this fish is about 1/4 to 1/5 of what I normally would receive. I placed the same exact order about a month ago and the portions were correct. Contacted the store and the manager's excuse was that it has been busy all day with the line out the door. I would return to this location but I would not advise using a delivery or online ordering service without seeing their staff assemble your bowl in front of you. read more

I have been coming to this location for a while now. Food is consistently fresh and tasty. Staff is on point. Glad this place manages to stay open during the current crisis. Safety measures are in place, and i have not seen anyone take issue. I will be coming back here. read more

This is the ABSOLUTE best Poke One and a Half AND the best poki spot PERIOD thanks to Eunice, Jen, Anika, Xion and the other members. Everyone is always so nice and they prepare the bowls better than any place. BY FAR! read more

I went there around 11:30 on a Friday. There was no one there. I started to place my order, but I couldn't hear a thing the girl behind the counter was saying because the music was so loud. She put my order together, and without taking off her glove, rang up my order. Then, without changing her glove, went right back to fill another order. They need to turn down their music and get retrained on health procedures. read more

Place is spotless. Food is great and the employees are super nice. Definitely coming back.

nicest service !! just did a quick pickup and not a lot of pole places offer fruits and they had pineapple

The food has never disappointed me. My girlfriend and I come often and the staff have been very helpful and the manger has great service 10/10 read more

I guess all good things must come to a end. Went in today to find another price increase ontop of charging extra for items that have always been free. 15 bucks for a medium bowl!! That is 2 bucks more than last year and 5 bucks more than than two years ago. Too top it off the scoops have become smaller and smaller. My bowl was half as full as it use to be. They even measure the rice now. I have been going here every week since they opened but today will be my last. read more

I usually come to this establishment and my wife and I like the Poke Bowls... HOWEVER... The prices are NOW astronomical... The price was raised easily $2.50 per bowl!! It cost me $32 for two bowls...Their menu options have changed as well, and it looks to be changed to save money for them with cheaper ingredients. One thing that surprised me before I saw the price hike was that it was empty in there on a Saturday afternoon... I understand inflation due to the pandemic, but this is ridiculous. Good thing I have options to eat somewhere else. I won't go back read more

This location is typically good. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. However, they need to be more consistent with their portions. I'm not sure if this is a training or management issue. I always get the same thing. A large bowl with 5 scoops of tuna. This was today's "large" bowl. I don't get many mix ins or toppings, but those are 5 very tiny scoops. Please train your employees to give consistent portions. It's getting worse each time I visit. Thank you. read more

Poki One N Half - Seafood Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This is one of my favorite Poki spots. Everyone is super friendly and the store is really clean. Their prices are somewhat cheaper than other local spots, and their portions and quality are above average. I was kind of bummed when I first started going and found that they didn't offer cucumber as a base. However, I find that they are very accommodating when I ask now. Their avocado is always fresh and in chunks, as opposed to smashed, which I prefer. Also, their green tea ice cream sandwiches are delicious. Anyways, I happy they have stayed open during these weird times, and that they have made efforts to make everyone feel safe and welcomed. I will continue to get poke from her and will bring all the friends and family. read more

I never had poke and wanted to eat healthier alternatives so i gave it a try! After eating poki 1/2 i have implemented it as part of my diet and go to this location after the gym. The fish and toppings are always fresh and they are super generous with their servings. I am in love with their salmon and spicy tuna! I highly recommend trying a poke bowl if you are curious about it! read more

I'm always satisfied with these bowls. The taste, the quality, and great service. Thanks, Aiicia!

My parents went here. We emphasized for the sauce on the side and when we got home we realized they never gave us the poke sauce. Lol

Went to this location for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The girl behind the counter Liz made a great bowl and was so nice and pleasant. I really enjoyed the experience here and had a great bowl. My new favorite location. Thank You Liz! read more

Forever I've tried to just hate this place because raw fish grosses me out! However, I took the plunge and ordered a bowl with the COOKED shrimp; nothing raw. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was. I'm now a fan and would return on a weekly basis but only for the cooked shrimp as my protein. I think the price is high because their baby scoopers for the protein makes me laugh. and I think they should offer a military/veteran discount. If they gave a discount I would change my rating to 5 stars! Eastlake area is crazy filled with military peeps! read more

I'm reading through these 5 star reviews and I don't see how this place received 5 stars. $14 for a small bowl? I get it, it's a small business but at least make up for it with portions. Third they charge $1 for cucumbers. Really? Their fish portions were on the skimpy side. One plus was they had fresh albacore. Haven't seen sashimi grade albacore in poki spots really any where. All in all just a regular poki spot not something I would go out of my way to go eat. read more

Been popping in almost every month here and been lovin' it every time. Highly suggested if you wanna get ur fish craving fulfilled. Food's always superb and satisfactory. read more

Poki One N Half - a cup of coffee and a drink in a cup holder - Seafood Near Me - Chula Vista, California

When I first went to Poki One N Half, I loved it. It was the location in Kearny Mesa and it was always packed. I ordered the large, the lid would actually touch the top of the heaping bowl. It's been two years and I have been to all the locations in San Diego. The fish always looked fresh. How much you get in your bowl really depends on which server is helping you out, but overall, I have noticed that the amount served is less and less. They have also stopped serving Yellowtail, a favorite of mine. If you go to the Eastlake location; DO NOT let Sierra serve your bowl. She doesn't know that a scoop is supposed to be full, and not just grazed over the fish. My bowl has never looked so empty.. :( I'll keep searching for better, well-served Poke, as I won't return to Poke One N Half; unless I hear that thing changes their ways. read more

Greeted immediately! My favorite. Very clean and doesn't smell like a seafood place. Everyone here had great customer service. Efficient line and clear instructions on how to order. I got the octopus and salmon poke bowl. All the toppings and the fire poke sauce mixed in with wasabi. They have sparkling water huge bonus! I work in the area so this was great. Can't wait to return read more

PRICES SKYROCKETED. Just want to let y'all know so you don't waste your gas getting there, like I did. Their prices skyrocketed. The small is now $15.95 the medium is $16.95 and the large is $17.95. I walked out, crazy crazy crazy prices for the SAME PORTIONS. Each employee serves different, so your proportion of fish and stuff will either be good or bad. And I'm not about to risk paying 17.95 for stingy servings. One time I had to ask the employee to please serve a little more, because he gave me HALF scoops of all the fish, and I even paid extra, and he gave me one cube of Salmon. Really!???! Not coming here again. read more

I want to give this place more stars, but some things really thew my friends and I off at our initial visit. 1) We all requested 3 scoops of protein, however, the server accidently put in 5 scoops. She proceeded, and then topped off the addons and apologized saying "Oh Im sorry, I have to charge you for 5 scoops." In our heads we were like, "we didnt ask for that...." 2) UNLIKE the Clairemont location, your servers are extremely stingy on protein portions. When she scooped the salmon, I literally counted 3 little cubes of salmon, and that was counted as a "Scoop." Cmon management, this isn't Chipotle. Train your staff to be more fair. read more

Ordered a Poki burrito and it was a disappointment. Staff is nice and friendly. Store is clean and has a welcoming feel. I appreciate the simplicity of the menu. Although you customize your own flavor profiles by choosing your base, protein, sauces, and spice, it's the quality of the ingredients and execution that feel short. Presentation of the burrito was great. Was surprised that they cut it in half for you. I got it to go and they put it in a cool box. The make sure to keep the burrito wrapped in the paper when eating it because the ends aren't closed and the ingredients fall out. There was flaws in the execution of having it wrapped as it kept on falling apart. Ive had Poki burritos in the past and this was the messiest one and not in a good way. The quality of the ingredients were ok, not great. Mine had avocado which was creamy and imitation crab. The protein was octopus, tuna , salmon. That's where it lost me. The fish didn't taste fresh and delicious. I had the spicy sauce and couldn't taste any sauce. There are other options and higher quality places to eat. It's not bad, it's just not great. I would pass and perhaps go eat some Mexican food in the area. If you really want Asian food there's always convoy read more

I am going to compare this to PokeBay, an establishment located on the other plaza and very close by. Went here to make sure I go order from the right establishment. Didn't want to miss out. 1). Food. PokeBay bowls tastes better overall despite the goods/bads identified below. + Poke 1/2 place has lobsters, more fish choices, more condiments choices and are not extra, the drink bar works. - less servings. Very small servings and had to ask for extra. 2). Customer service. Both are the same. More workers at Poke 1/2. 3). Atmosphere. About the same. Poke 1/2 is newer. 4). Others. Both have plenty of parking. - not Military friendly establishment. After weighing everything, the bowls tastes better at PokeBay. Your price at Poke 1/2 is more predictable but the food overall tastes better at PokeBay. I will stick to PokeBay instead. Up to you, your call. Will not go here though. read more

This place turned out to be excellent. Bowl was huge and young man was generous with the tuna. It was excellent and fresh. I will eat here again. Very clean from the restroom to the food stations. This small area is very busy. So I hope they can stay busy. It deserves a try. read more

I loved the place from day one and I understand the price increase to stay afloat. However there is no excuse for a blue tofu in my miso soup. I just spat out everything and threw away the rest of the food. It was at the bottom of the soup cup and I just hope I don't get food poisoning. read more

This review is in regards to the attitude their catering van driver gave me at 930 on a Saturday morning when I recommended he shouldn't park in the handycap walkway. I was being extremely professional while he continued to argue about it. You are a direct representation of your company while at work. Please don't be rude to those trying to help you and those who need to park in the handycap spots. By parking in handycap walkway, those who need to park in the handycap spots cannot even open the door so you took up 3 spots with this move. All you had to do was say sorry and move it instead of making up reasons for it being okay and giving so much attitude about it. Definitely lost our business and those I know. ** update ** Appreciate the company reviewing this and responding to the concerns. read more

YAAAAY poki one n half is finally open in Eastlake! So happy because this means not having to drive to convoy or north park for it. I loooove it here! Honestly my favorite place to get poke. Not only because they give avocado free of charge but because they give a hefty amount of everything you ask for! You can even ask for double scoops of toppings :) I always opt for the regular bowl with half brown rice and salad with salmon & tuna! With two scoops of crab meat, 1 scoop of avocado, and 1 scoop of cucumbers, with seaweed salad, seaweed flakes, and ginger. The sauce I recommend would be their hot poki sauce with spicy mayo! Yummmm! Customer service was fast and friendly too! Come visit this poke one n half location, just be aware it's in a busy area so parking can be a bit tough. read more
