Poki One N Half is my go to when i'm craving a poke bowl with lots of different toppings! I always go for all salmon with original poke + sriracha mayo mixed together. Love how all the sides/toppings are generous. The service has always been friendly and i love how big and open the space is, especially if you have LO's with you. read more

Overall: one of the best affordable poke places in San Diego, large portions and such a great bang for your buck. ---- Sizes: - Small (2 scoops of fish) $17 - Regular (3 scoops) $18 - Large (4 scoops) $19 I always get the large, bc it lasts me around 2 meals. It's very filling and still tastes great on the second and even third day! ---- My go-to order: - large bowl with half-half of brown rice and mixed greens - 2 scoops salmon, 1 scoop tuna, 1 scoop spicy tuna - original poki sauce & yuzu pepper sauce - all of the toppings except for sesame oil (which are white onion, cucumber, avocado, imitation crab, edamame, seaweed salad, green onion, cilantro, sweet corn, carrot, pineapple, ginger, pickled jalapeños, crunchy garlic, seaweed flakes, and sesame seeds) - soy sauce and spicy mayo on the side ---- Portions are usually the same but it can vary depending on who you get as your server/bowl creator. The people working on Valentine's Day were the best service I've gotten by far of all of the times I've been here, I didn't catch their names but shoutout to them if you're reading this! You guys were so sweet and made our night :D ---- Parking is in a shared plaza with a lot of other businesses but there's plenty of parking available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's seats inside and outside and everything is typically clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not much of a "restaurant" ambiance but it's a fantastic place to grab a quick bit or take it to-go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ---- Overall: great food, large portions that are generally consistent in size but some are more skimpy than others, service is also generally good (the best were on vday tho I won't forget you guys!), best poke in SD in terms of value for flavor read more

Poki One N Half - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

This is an update to my three year old review and overall I would say still wasn't OK experience and there was still a fly that was around the food. That being said, I gave it an extra star because I did finish my bowl and I appreciated the spicy tuna and the mixed greens this time as you can see the pictures the fish and other items were kept cold. I was really craving poke and I was in the area and I also thought after three years I would give this place another try. It's not that I was more disappointed because I did up one star, but the customer service was lacking as people just seemed like they had to be there and no smile and just what do you need next which I get that makes sense but I also say the overall experience still for the price of about close to $18 for one bowl it just did not really match the value . read more

I really like this place for Poki. Although the bowls have gotten smaller and the price is higher (like everywhere else) - they still give you a bunch of options for no additional charges. Service is quick! I always take it home for a hearty lunch. Parking in this shopping area - can be tricky at lunch time - but it's worth the walk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a few outdoor tables and indoor tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Poki One N Half - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

Hit or miss with this location. Staff is not the friendliest but they are fast, so the interaction is short lived. Orders are accurate when you order in person, but we have received online orders that are missing components or have an incorrect protein or sauces. The ingredients here are fresh for the most part, but not always when it comes to the toppings or the rice. And when it comes to portions, they are stingy, which makes the price hard to justify. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The positives here would be that the lobby tends to be clean and there is a parking lot available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Overall great, only downside was not a lot of flavor (sauce). The seaweed salad was the most flavorful (& was delicious). Quality and options for proteins was excellent, so fresh, and toppings are generous too - a plus is that avocado is included, not an up-charge like some places. Only reason not a 5 star rating is it needed more sauce. Maybe I couldve asked for more but I got it to-go. Would definitely come back. read more

When I'm looking for a quick- fish fix, I'll stop by here. It's not the most authentic poke but I will say they do have good portion sizes. I usually get a scoop of their salmon or ahi with a LOAD of their toppings. Everything is customizable to your liking and made to order but I feel like it can lack flavor. Parking can be a hit or miss depending on when you stop in. read more

Poki One N Half - Small Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

Every time you order extra sauce they don't put it in the bag. I get so frustrated at this place!

Not sure if I'm giving this a three star rating because I've had terrible poke in the past and this one was OK by comparison or if this place was truly alright but nevertheless, three stars it is! Came in on a Saturday around noon and during my 40 minutes there ordering and eating there was a steady stream of people coming in and out. It was never packed but always had at least someone ordering. You start at the far wall to start ordering and make your way closest to the exit where you will pay. The options are limited. You first pick your bowl size small medium or large which is 2, 3, or 4 scopes and then you pick if you want brown or white rice or quinoa or salad or a combo. They also have a children's meal. From there you pick your protein which is either salmon, Cali mix, shrimp, spicy salmon, or tuna. The website says they have others like octopus but I didn't see any available. From there you pick your sauce: Poki Sauce Hot Poki Sauce Fire Poki Sauce Spicy Mayo Sauce Ponzu Sauce Wasabi Mayo Sauce Yuzu Pepper And then you pick your toppings: Edamame Seaweed Salad Cilantro Green Onion Pineapple Carrot Sweet Corn Jalapeño Ginger Wasabi Crunchy Garlic Sesame Oil Seaweed Flakes Sesame Seeds They sell a variety of drinks as well from soda to coffee to ice cream! We got two bowls. Bowl 1: half salad and quinoa. Tuna and Cali mix. All the toppings minus pineapple and cilantro. Poke sauce and spicy mayo. Bowl two: half salad and brown rice. Cali mix and spicy tuna. All the toppings minus carrots and corn. Spicy Mayo and fire poke sauce. Bowl 1 won. I think the original poke sauce was the deciding factor. The sauce with the Cali mix was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating for about 20 inside and an additional 10 outside. We sat outside because I had my dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was pretty quick. Nothing to special about our interaction. Decent amount of parking. It's in a busy business park and so it was packed with cars. We went to Ross before it got busy so we lucked out with a nice spot before everyone got there. read more

Went to Mitsuwa to try and score some of their daily prepped a la carte sushi, but by the time we got there (4 PM?) , everything was wiped out. Decided to adjust destination to the poke place in the same plaza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This plaza can get crowded but you can always find a parking spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We must have came at the perfect time because there was only 1 person in front of us, and nobody behind us. Ordered a medium bowl with greens and brown rice as my base, 3 scoops of tuna, and a bunch of toppings, with their house poke sauce. Everything was fresh and appetizing. BB and I were both pleasantly surprised at the large portion. We used to frequent bleu poke but will probably go to poke one and a half from here on out next time we get a craving for poke. read more

Short and sweet! We used to come here often with family and friends when they first opened -- it was our go-to spot for Fusion Poke. Stopped by last week for dinner and ordered a medium bowl with 2 proteins, veggies, sauces -- the works! Sadly, the quality and portions have gone downhill. They used this little scooper fit for feeding g a baby! The bowl wasn't even full, and despite adding several sauces, the flavor just wasn't there. All three of us agreed the food wasn't up to par like before. Customer service, however, was fantastic -- no complaints there. We ended up going to Poke 123 near my house, and wow -- flavors were on point, value was great, and the bowl was overflowing with toppings. You can barely close it -- and that was just a medium! Just take a look at the pictures from Poke 123 read more

We were immediately greeted when we walked through the door and the service was awesome! Reneli made our bowl and she was extremely kind and recommended the perfect combo of sauces for our bowl.

My boyfriend and I came here for a late lunch and we were really impressed by the generous portions and super friendly service! Danny prepared our poke bowls (and one to-go for my daughter when we came back after running errands). He was very cheerful and upbeat, definitely made us feel welcomed! A lot of the other poke places are really stingy with their portions and charge extra for toppings. At this Poki One N Half, all of the toppings were included in the price, and you can request extra of your favorites FREE! How nice is that?! It's service like this that attracts and retains loyal customers! I don't live in the area, but I wouldn't mind driving here next time I crave for poke! The restaurant is really clean and the fish/ingredients are all very fresh! read more

If you have never had a Poki bowl, I think it's a must try for anyone that likes sushi, fish, or ceviche. From what I read long ago about it, it is a Hawaiian dish with Japanese influence. It's typically cut up/cubed raw fish mixed with sauce served with rice and/or greens and other toppings to complete the deliciousness. To start, you select the size you want and based on that they give you a certain amount of scoops of fish or other protein. Small - 2 scoops ($15.95 as of Feb 2024) Regular - 3 scoops ($16.95 as of Feb 2024) Large - 4 scoops ($17.95 as of Feb 2024) You select a base: white rice, brown rice, mixed greens, quinoa (add $1.00) or half and half. I usually get mixed greens and brown rice. Then you select your proteins. I usually go with salmon, tuna, and scallops. They also have shrimp, a Cali mix, minced lobster, spicy tuna, tofu, octopus, chicken, and chickpea. You select your sauce: original poki, hot poki, fire poki, ponzu, spicy mayo, wasabi mayo, or yuzu pepper. I usually go with fire poki. I have heard people mix sauces, but I usually stick to one. Then they mix your sauce(s) with your protein in a separate bowl and place it on top of your base. The last thing you select are toppings: seaweed salad, edamame, jalapenos, krab meat (I think it's imitation), white onions, green onions, seaweed flakes, ginger, carrots, corn, crunchy garlic and/or sesame oil. I order toppings based on what I feel like having, but everything is good. The poki bowls are good. Service used to be the worst thing here, but I think those employees have been replaced. Service is consistently good now. Lots of drink options and fountain drinks. Not a ton of seating, but people are usually in and out after eating. Parking is usually okay unless you are here during peak hours. If that's the case, you might have trouble finding parking. I'm glad I gave this location another chance. I don't mind the drive to Clairemont Mesa, but this i smuch more convenient after shopping at Mitsuwa. 4 / 5: Poki or Poke bowls (I've seen it spelled both ways) 4 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Cleanliness 4 / 5: Overall read more

This used to be my go to poke spot. But the two recent times I've came, the new hires always gave me less compared to the people in line in front and even behind me. I'm not sure if it's because we are the same age, but the new girl with purple hair would look upset that I'm there and even scooped rice & fish from out my bowl even though there was barely anything in there already because her scoops are so small. I hope management trains workers more closely because the service & quality has definitely gone down. read more

My favorite poki place in San Diego! I love that they have multiple locations. First, this has been the BEST bang for your buck poki place I have been to. Even with their recent price increase, ~$17 for a regular bowl (3 scoops of fish), it's still worth it. It so much food, I can make it into two meals. Second, they have so many topping options and sauce options. Try the crunchy garlic! I usually get the Fire sauce because I like spice. They even have dessert (ice cream macaroons), they are delicious! I've tried them all, and can't go wrong with any of them. Ive never been disappointed with the service or quality of food, that's why I'm a loyal customer. I'm a fitness guru so it's nice having a great poki place I can rely on. During the summer I tend to come here at least once a week. If you're in the area and you're craving poki, check them out! Note: During lunch hour the parking lot can be chaotic since it shared with lots of other businesses. read more

Really great poke! Service was fast and friendly. Upon entering we were quickly greeted and our bowl was made to our liking. The Fish was fresh and all toppings tasted great.

So frustrating!! I was sadly in the hospital and the food was sub par. I was craving a poke bowl so I ordered door dash delivery. I ordered my usual of salmon 2 scoops with toppings and the base as white rice. The bowl arrived and it looked sad. It's not good service to give a different product if the customer isn't there to watch you make it. WORST OF ALL, they didn't pack even ONE packet of soy sauce!!! Are you KIDDING ME!!! The whole base is white rice - so now I have a completely dry half ass made poke bowl that was $23 to deliver. Very disappointed. I will not return here. I certainly hope that KEVIN T doesn't leave a generic message to me on here like he has to all of his other one and 2 star reviews "thank you for bringing this to our attention we hope you will give us another try in the future" that is not how you fix these issues . You need to satisfy the customers!! If I was In person I would have demanded a full refund for the sad bowl. read more

Poki One N Half is my go-to poke place. Granted, I haven't tried many other poke places in San Diego, but I find this place to be reliable and tasty. A big plus for me is that they don't charge extra for avocado & krab. Today I got the regular bowl with 2 scoops salmon, 1 scoop octopus on white rice. I like the rest of their toppings like white onion, corn, edamame, nori, crunchy garlic, sesame oil, and pineapple. I do wish that they had masago. I got ponzu & fire sauce today, and next time I may ask them to add a little more sauce because it was a liiittle bland. The service was friendly. read more

This location is usually solid but it was absurd how long it took to get through the line today from when we started ordering to finish.

I just online ordered a small poke bowl and picked it up to go. When I opened it up I found that I was missing a protein and some toppings. In a small bowl you get two proteins, which is like the whole point of the poke bowl and the expensive part might I add. I also had to spit out the ginger because it tasted sooo bad. I eat heaps of ginger and I know what it's suppose to taste like. The exp date on the package is a little iffy but I really hope they aren't give me something that expired in 2021. My avocado was also old, it was black. I was so disappointed and a little angry because I drove 40 minutes round trip just to pick it up. So I couldn't go back and get a new one. There were very few customers when I entered the place, and it was also a rainy day on a Sunday at 12pm, so I know they couldn't be so busy as to mess up my order. I don't know if I will be back to this location. read more

I thought they would make this right but unfortunately that didn't happen. I called to get a refund, gave them my information and it never happened. It's now a month or so later and they did not make this right. Attached is pictures of my visit end of March. We love this place but I was so disappointed in the quality control now at this business. I had black avocado and also they served me a shrimp which wasn't even deshelled. I was a few bites into my bowl which is almost $20 which isn't cheap and noticed this. I was so disgusted that I ended up not eating the rest of my bowl. I called to just get a refund and they never even did this for me. I hope you do better than this in the future and have better quality control. $20 out and very disappointed in how this business is running now. read more
