    So delicious! I got a regular size (3 scoops of fish) with salmon, white rice, original poki sauce and spicy mayo, and a bunch of the toppings. I love how their avocado and seaweed salad are free - usually these are always extra at other poke spots. Their bowls are so simple, yet so delicious and fresh. Would 100% get again!

    Let me just say--this is hands down the best rice ball I've ever had. I got the Cali Mix, which has tuna, salmon, and imitation crab. It was only $3.95, and I originally got it because I'm on a light diet. I could've gone with a bowl, but I decided to keep it simple and go with the rice ball. The flavor blew me away. Everything tasted super fresh, and the mix of proteins was perfect. I ended up going back and getting a second one right after. I also tried it with the fire poke sauce, which had a nice kick and a hint of ginger--so good. The customer service was great too. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place. Five stars, no question. Place is nice and clean. It is a little bit tough getting parking on the weekends, but totally were trying.

    Recently got into poke, and honestly, there's no turning back. I've been to this location a few times now, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've even stayed to get some work done in the restaurant, which has a chill vibe. I usually go with the large bowl (4 scoops): 2 scoops of salmon, 1 tuna, and 1 Cali mix, then load it up with my favorite toppings. While I've had better poke elsewhere in San Diego, for a chain spot, this place definitely gets the job done.

    Large poke bowl

    Good selection of topping for the poke bowl, lot more than usual places. Super fresh ingredients, , large bowl is big enough to share or save for later.

    Dog that was jumping on counter

    This man brought in his non service dog and was Jumping on the counters multiple times! Instead of the employees asking him to leave the poor scared dog had to wait for the owner to order and pay. And then the other employee went and pet the dog and went back to making food, I was so grossed out I left without being able to finish my food

    Regular Bowl

    I've been traveling around San Diego recently and am always in the mood for some poke, so I decided to try Poki One N Half. There's few poke places that just hit the spot, but it was THAT good. The girl who took my order was very nice; she let me take my time choosing! They have a good variety of proteins (what other place has scallops!!!!??!). The toppings were also very robust. I got a regular bowl with salmon, spicy tuna, and scallops and it was SO delicious. I'm out of the country now, but I'm still craving it. It might just be my first meal when I get back. The location was a little small and parking was hard to find, as you have to street park, but I think it's absolutely worth it. If you're considering poke for lunch, I recommend here! There's a bit of outside seating and indoor seating. If I had the time, I would've sat outside and just people watched. It's really pretty in that area and close to a lot of cute shops.

    Awesome customer off the bat immediately greeted. Great fresh selection of seafood protein. Toppings and sauces to customize ur bowl a must. I've been back many times and I'd for sure recommend this place.

    I drove all the way from Anaheim Hills just to try Poki One n Half, and it was absolutely worth it! The prices were ridiculously affordable for the quality you get. Everything tasted super fresh and high quality. You can really tell they care about their ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back again!

    Came in right after our flight landed in SD and was so glad we got this. Felt like eating something light and not greasy and this hit the spot! The interior is very casual and we saw lots of people coming for pickup. We each got a bowl with three scoops and we were stuffed. The team was friendly and service was quick. Super fresh and lots of veggies with unlimited toppings!

    Been here a couple times and it could get busy. I feel like there short staff sometimes but they make it work. With the influx of ordering online and helping out customers. The salmon is my usually go to and it doesn't disappoint. All the sauces are pretty good and I can't complain on the style of poke bowl. The spicy mayo, fire and OG are my main sauces. I will keep coming here. The portions are off the charts here they don't skimp out on the proteins. Shout out to the workers there for hooking me up with a fat bowl!!!

    Small salmon bowl
    Emily S.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch because I was craving poke. There was one person working who seemed to manage the small line that just went through and the orders online that were coming in. I ordered a small bowl with salmon, and was alarmed when the total cost came to $17 after tax. As I understand it, the amount of fix ins are the same between a small, medium, and large bowl, but the amount of scoops of fish is different. I wish this spot had a small with bowl with less fix ins that you can buy for less money, between $10-$12 seems reasonable. The amount of food I got for a small bowl was a ton and was more than I wanted, but had pretty good flavor. For the amount of sides and rice you get, the ratio of fish seems very small, so I'd check out this spot if you want less poke and more sides with your meal. Other than the food, the place itself was extremely loud. I wanted to eat it there, but had to eat it outside because it was just so loud.

    My go to poke! Fish is very fresh. A lot of options for toppings. Is it authentic Hawaiian poke? No. But that's not why you come here. I can't comment on service because I've had friends pick it up for me both times I've had it, but from reading other reviews and hearing from other people the service is great! Small bowl has plenty of food and is very filling. This is a great healthy lunch and I will keep coming back.

Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I placed my order online four hours in advance because I have a long drive back home to Julian and just wanted to pick it up and go. When I arrived, there was no greeting from staff, no clear pickup line, and no acknowledgment of customers waiting. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, only focusing on what was directly in front of them while ignoring everyone else. After standing there for quite a while, I finally had to ask about my order. Instead of it being ready like it should have been, they hadn't even started making it. I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line for something that was ordered hours earlier. What made it worse was when the mistake became obvious, no one apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. The staff acted like it was no big deal and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I don't come into the city often, but when I do I like to try new places. Sadly, this experience was disappointing and the customer service was extremely poor. I would honestly say save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values their customers--especially in this economy. Time is money, and money is time. If a restaurant doesn't respect your time, they're definitely not going to respect your money. As for the food, it was very basic and lacked flavor. They were also very stingy with the sauce, which made the bowl even more dry and underwhelming. Overall, between the poor service, long wait despite ordering hours ahead, lack of accountability from staff, and mediocre food, this place was a big disappointment. I will not be coming back. There are plenty of better places that actually value their customers. Thank you and have a nice day.

A normal meal. A casual San Diego ramen situation. Incorrect. What actually happened was that my child experienced a culinary event so powerful it rearranged her internal belief system. She took one bite and immediately declared it her "favorite meal ever" and "the best sushi on earth," which is impressive because those are two separate categories of food, but honestly I respect the conviction. At that moment, she became a tiny ramen prophet. A noodle evangelist. A sushi sommelier of chaos. I was no longer her father. I was merely the adult with a wallet and transportation. The ramen was fantastic. The sushi was fresh. The whole place had that magical "we actually care about what we are doing" energy, which is increasingly rare in a world held together by parking apps and spiritual fatigue. Then, as if the first visit had not already altered the timeline, my daughter made me go back the next day. Not requested. Not suggested. Made. There was no negotiation. She had tasted the mountain and demanded we return to the temple. So we did. And it was still excellent. BESHOCK is now officially part of our family lore. Somewhere between "remember that time we saw the ocean" and "remember when your daughter discovered ramen and briefly became a food critic possessed by a joyful sea dragon." Highly recommend.
