The poke bowl was whatever. It was very dry and the rice was soggy. Their signature "OG" small bowl costed me almost $20. There are many other poke places down the street that I would prefer going to. read more

The poke was just OK. The fish wasn't super fresh. It is located in inside a supermarket so the seating is shared with the supermarket, very small seating area. The service was also just all right, they were giving out free miso soups because they just opened. read more

I have tried other Poké restaurants in the area and can say this one is my new favorite. As someone who frequents Ava's Market I have always wanted to try this spot. The staff members were all friendly and able to make helpful suggestions and answer any question I had! The Poké itself tasted fresh and the quantity was good for the price. I will be returning here when I have my next Poké bowl craving. read more

Poké Bar - Original Poké bowl - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

Solid 4 stars. I've been coming here for over 5 years, and it's always been reliable. The fish is fresh, portions are good (they don't skimp), and the staff is welcoming. My usual order is scallop (It's tossed in a creamy sauce that adds the richness), octopus, and salmon with ponzu + wasabi mayo. Their sauces aren't too salty or overpowering, which is perfect for me. I'm not a fan of super heavy mayo or super sweet teriyaki-like sauces many other poke places use. Only bummer is they recently got rid of the large bowl and raised prices. Over 20 dollars incl. tax for a regular bowl feels a bit steep. I considered giving an extra star, but decided against it because of this. Hopefully the regular bowl + soup combo deal stays around. I used to share the large with my partner when we weren't super hungry. Really sad to see it gone--hope it returns. read more

This is the worst poke bowl I've ever had in my life. Their "large" portion is the size of a regular portion at other places. Not only that but their sauce is not good and the bowl overall is very bland and sad looking. Look at the scoop of spicy tuna which counts as 1 protein. It's literally a third of the size of other places. The spicy tuna is tasteless and the crab salad is shredded imitation crab without any sauce or seasoning. I tried calling multiple times to make sure that they didn't give me the wrong order but their phone doesn't work. I am so upset that I ordered 3 bowls Togo just to be met with disappointment. I'm never coming here again and warning those of you who love poke to not come here. read more

Came for Saturday lunch. Parking can be difficult with lots filling up and finding street parking. The poke stall is inside a small grocery store Ava's but it was empty when I got there. Service was quick and friendly and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. 8/10 Large Bowl $ - half rice/salad, 4 proteins (tuna x2, salmon, scallop), bunch of toppings, sauces and come with miso soup which was just ok. Fish was all fresh and mixed well in their sauces! Portion size is ok for the price. Notable adds were the crunchy toppings (garlic and onions), pineapples, imitation crab, seaweed salad, and spicy aioli sauce. Recommend getting this bowl for value and splitting with a friend. read more

Poké Bar - Large Poke Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

I've heard great things about this place and decided to try it out. Unfortunately, my experience didn't line up with what I've heard. The rating is solely based on the food. There was nothing wrong with the staff, cleanliness, location, etc. Now onto the food. I ordered a large poke bowl with several toppings, and got a free "miso soup". At $24 this combo is relatively expensive. The two things that really stood out to me were: 1) the miso soup was just warm water with green onions. They must have forgotten the miso flavoring? I took a large gulp and just got some warm water, which caught me off guard. 2) what is their spicy tuna? I was expecting chunks of tuna with spicy sauce. Instead, I got ground-up fish that *might* be tuna, mixed with a lot of fish eggs (which I hate). Overall, the portions are pretty big and the salmon is good. But half of my bowl being spicy tuna and flavorless miso soup kind of ruined this place for me. read more

Just my food and service was great! Aits tucked away inside a supermarket. A lot of topping options to choose from :)

Poke Bar is tucked away in a market located downtown Mountain View. The girl that helped me was super nice and the fish portions are pretty good and generous. There was no line so I was quickly able to order and get my bowl. Most of the ingredients are pretty fresh except the avocado that was starting to brown a little bit- that could be because I came towards the end of the day. They have tables outside the market so you can sit down and enjoy. Do recommend coming here for a quick meal! Hopefully the avocado is freshly cut next time read more

Poké Bar - Two salmon Medium Poke Bowls with avocado - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

Large portions, solid service, but a miss for me. There's a few tables outside to eat at, but no indoor seating. Grabbed two bowls, a small and a large. I don't like being a contrarian when others seem to really like this place, but the ingredients didn't seem that fresh when I visited. While the poke bowls were packed to the brim, this was the first time I didn't want to finish my poke bowl, like ever. I love that this spot is well-loved but something about the taste/mix of the poke just wasn't good for me. Maybe I'll come back another time to give Poke Bar another go! read more

Poké Bar - Poke & soup - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

Great quality for the price and quantity they give!! I wasn't expecting such a huge bowl of fish and toppings but this could definitely be two whole meals worth of food. I love that some toppings that normally cost extra (seaweed salad and crab) comes with any bowl, and they are pretty generous loading up on toppings. The flavors sometimes get pretty salty, so I would try to balance the fish out with the sauce you pick, especially since the sauces are a hit or miss. It was in a small grocery store in Mountain View, so it's a little bit difficult to find, but once you know the spot, it's so easy to keep coming back. Because of this though, it's a bit hard to find accessible seating, so I had to walk pretty far to sit down and eat. Overall great spot, I always feel so healthy after getting poke, so this will become my new go-to quick lunch! read more

I got a small bowl and it was plenty for lunch, I felt very satisfied. Super fresh ingredients. The raw salmon melted in my mouth. I never had raw octopus, I tried it and the texture wasn't my favorite. The kale noodles were really unique, they had a nice chew and flavor to them. I asked for a sweet and salty sauce and the worker mixed too sauces for me and it tasted very good. He was really nice. $20 all together with a drink. You choose your base which can be up two things, up to two proteins and as many toppings as you like. It's a takeout counter within a grocery store and there are tables outside. read more

Poké Bar - Small Poke Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

My boyfriend and I came here and I ordered the salmon bowl. I love mango in my poke, but they were out. Compared to other poke spots in the area their menu is limited and they were out of some add ons like mango and others. The salmon in my bowl was good, but it was drenched with sauce. Heads up if you prefer less sauce I'd recommend getting it on the side. I enjoy poke because of all of the different fruits and veggies you can combine with salmon, tuna etc., I like to be able to taste those elements, but couldn't really as the sauce was a heavy sauce and over powering. My boyfriend took one bite and did not eat his bowl. The cucumbers and other veggies were brown. This was our first time here and we weren't sure how to order one gentleman offered to help us and was nice, but we ended up ordering from the kiosk. The other staff was not friendly, positive vibes. I picked up the order and they just simply handed it to me, no words were spoken. I would not recommend and we won't be coming back. read more

Pretty good poke bowl ... maybe the best I've had in the area. Fish was pretty fresh. Toppings were good. Nice to sit outside the store and enjoy the weather. I had to get a couple bottles of still water from the grocery store because the Poke Bar doesn't sell regular bottled water ... Service was OK. read more

Got some takeout from here. Got 2 medium bowls. 3 scoops with white rice. The portions were huge, probably would've been fine with a small honestly! One complaint is that there just wasnt enough sauce. I wish they had tossed the fish in a bit more sauce, or if there was an option to add more sauce on the side. I just added some more kewpie sriracha mayo and soy sauce at home. Overall good for the price! read more

Great pricing, good topping options, but a bit salty. They season their rice heavily, and once you add any other sauces, it ends up being a sodium bomb. Located inside a little market, this place is easy to miss, but definitely worth a try. Crab salad, masago, and seaweed salad are free. read more

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ A M B I A N C E ~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Its a nice casual restaurant tucked away in Ava's Downtown Market in Downtown Mountain View/Castro Street! There is some outdoor seating, but it is not covered. You do get some a little bit of shade from a nearby tree. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ F O O D ~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Small - 2 scoops of protein $11.50 Medium - 3 scoops of protein $13.50 Large - 4 scoops of protein $15.50 Choose between - Salmon, Ahi Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Scallops, Octopus, Shrimp, Spicy Tuna, and Tofu The BEST part is that seaweed salad is a standard side. You do NOT need to pay extra! WOOO! The Albacore was very peppery and had a very distinct but good flavor! The fish was fresh! The rice was still warm and fluffy! The imitation crab is plain imitation crab. It is not mixed with mayo or dressing or mashed, do not confuse with crab salad. It is simply shredded. Which is simple and delicious! Unagi sauce tastes just like what you would put on... UNAGI hahaha. If you like eel/unagi then I would ask for this sauce on the side! The PORTION SIZE IS AMAZING especially for what you pay for! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ S E R V I C E ~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I got two large bowls the only thing different was the protein. Everything else was the same. [1] I requested Salmon, Ahi Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Scallops [2] I requested 2x Salmon, Ahi Tuna, Scallops Bowl [1] looked like it had a lot more fish than Bowl [2]. My husband and I debated and we placed our bets and weighed them. Bowl [1] was 1054 g and Bowl [2] was 950g. You can decide for yourself whether a 100g or 10% difference in weight is within the range of error/noise hahaha. Also both bowls some how ended up with Albacore Tuna, even though only one bowl requested Albacore.... Still delicious, but the order is still wrong. We didn't notice until we got home and started eating. Sad. Anyway, the cashier was nice and even offered us to put some of their new Unagi sauce on the side! Very sweet. We paid 10 cents for the bag, and then it promptly broke on us as soon as we walked out the door :( the bag also had a hole. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ O V E R A L L ~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Regardless of the hiccups, we still love this place. Portions are big, fish is fresh, seaweed salad is included for free. When you order just make sure to order a different fish for each protein option rather than double/tripe up on one type of fish. This is so you don't get accidentally shorted a scoop of protein or end up with this 100g/10% difference in weight hahaha. read more

This is the best poke. Hands down. Full stop. I've tried a bunch of other places in California and nothing ever comes close. I love that they have mango and pineapple as add-on options. The salmon is always delicious. The portions are huge. The service is always kind and helpful. It's a bit far for me but whenever I feel the urge for poke it's definitely worth the drive. Thank you poke bar, you guys rule! read more

The best poke ever! Definitely my go to spot. Great service and fresh ingredients. Nice outdoor seating

I had a great time at Pokebar with foodie friends! I got the large custom bowl which lets you customize the base, protein, mix in, sauce, sides, and toppings! The portion sizes were large as well and the food tasted fresh. They also mix it for you at the end. There is also outdoor seating on Castro Street with nice vibes~ Service was also friendly!

They had a lot of good options which were great! I got the medium which isn't too bad for what you get and amount you get. I really enjoyed my bowl. It was located inside the downtown market. So had I not noticed their sign in the window I would have completely missed it. It was also hard to hear the person making my bowl so I just had to guess what they were asking me. Either way though, the service is quick and the food is good. read more

Easy to miss spot- We thought this poke bar was located in an alley but actually it was just inside the market. Poke- First we ordered one of the pre-set poke bowls but the server didn't really know how to make it which I found kind of funny. Maybe he was new on the job. So anyways i just ordered the self made bowl with two scoop of protein- both scoops salmon since I'm obsessed and the fish was super fresh and yummy! The rest of the base and additional ingredients (brown rice, crab salad, pineapples, corn, edamame) were great add ons. Overall, the poke was really good and I would recommend this spot! read more

Second time here. First time during the pandemic. Grab your clipboard, filled in your order with a clean sanitized pen, give the worker dude your clipboard, drop your dirty pen in the dirty pen basket, pay and wait outside. Pickup your food when the dude calls your order and sit outside and enjoy your meal. Or take it home and eat like a hermit. We ordered: Sunset bowl: my mom liked this but she said she wished it had some spice to it. I gave her some of my spicy tuna and spicy mayo. Make our own bowls: hubby and I got the same two spicy and wasabi mayos but our sauce looked different. We both like our poke topped with spicy mayo that has little orange fish eggs in it. Big portions and tasty poke. It's not like the stuff you get in Hawaii, but here on the mainland, this hits the spot. read more

Solid poke experience. Appreciate that they have 3 sizes. The small has 2 scoops or protein, the medium has 3, and the large has 4 scoops of protein. The large is perfect for sharing :). . My daughter and I shared the firecracker (ahi, spicy mayo sauce) - it's got just a little kick and great flavor. Excellent spot for to go poke. You can also dine in (shares indoor and outdoor tables with Hey O). Located inside the Ava market. read more

Great experience! Enjoyed the food and polite service. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite.

Disappointing poke place. Came here for a quick lunch around noon on the weekend and was disappointed with my experience. This place is located inside a market. I love the concept since there is also a Poke Bar in San Francisco that's also located inside a market, but Poke Bar has continued to be disappointing for me. First off, the price is higher than most other poke places of the same quality. The portions are small and the crab salad is not really a salad (just plain imitation crab meat). I like how they give you the option of getting both seaweed salad and crab salad for no additional cost, but not worth coming back. read more

in honor of the last day of this chaotic year i decided to get poke. my friend and i chose here so we ordered through door dash and were completely satisfied with our order. small poke bowl; (10/10) not a single did to complain about. great price, large portion, and high quality. although the sizes of the protein seem deceiving because they are cut up in small cubes they do give a lot. i went with the house sauce and it was fine in my opinion but it was not very strong or there just was not a lot of it. they have a lot of toppings including pineapple which not a lot of places offer. the imitation krab here was different compared to other places because they do not put kewpie mayo like other places do and just leave the krab as is. i would definitely go back here again as long as they maintain the amazing quality they had displayed today. even with it being in downtown mountain view which has many different places to grab a bite, i would still choose to go here. read more

We came here a few times and their poke is solid. I loved their topping options and would always get a large so I could eat half now half later. You want to eat it in the same day thought because the rice especially gets dry in the fridge. I'd usually get half brown rice half mixed greens. I'd get most of the toppings but really here it's based on your preference. For sauces I'd suggest the ponzo and spicy mayo, maybe with the shoyu too. What's nice is that this location is inside a small store so you can grab drinks. We usually grab a couple specialty sodas. The cashier has a bottle opener. Just fyi I think there's some kind of $5 minimum for credit card or there's a convenience fee at the store. Great seating outside in Downtown Mountain View! read more

Poke Bar is conveniently located on Castro Street inside of a supermarket. On any given day, you'll find people passing through to pick up their online orders, but they'll gladly take your order in person too. For Mountain View standards, the poke is pretty solid, but not amazing. The portion size is good, the toppings are generously sprinkled on, and most importantly, the fish tastes fresh. Poke Bar also periodically puts out new items, which is a nice touch. My only complaint is that I wish they didn't use the paper boxes (I mean, if it's more sustainable I guess that's okay), because it causes the rice to stick to the box, which is frustrating and potentially wasteful. read more

It's very good for what it is! It's located inside of a local market and very clean and makes use of all of its space. I got the salmon, and added things like pineapple and kale. The pricing is pretty good too and there are recommended combos and combos of sauces which helps navigate all the options. Service was professional and efficient. I would come by again if I have a poke craving. read more

I loved the poke at this place! The rice was warm and sticky in the best way, which made it a great base for the cold/room temp fish and toppings. I had a medium poke bowl, and for my three proteins I had salmon, (ahi) tuna, and albacore (tuna). They went together well with each other and the toppings (imitation crab, seaweed salad, veggies, ginger, wasabi, shoyu, crispy shallots, and sesame seeds). And it was a great deal! The whole thing was $13.50 before tax, and it would have lasted me two meals--if I had enough self-control. I almost missed the restaurant from the outside, since I didn't expect it to be inside the grocery store. We got there a little before noon on a weekday, and the line wasn't very long. Right after noon, though, it started getting much longer! read more

Such an excellent deal and price for really good poke! Considering that everything is so pricey in the area, I'm super grateful for this little place. The fish has always been fresh, and I love their selection of sauces. I personally love the fusion of spring mix and kale noodles (as a matter of fact I forgo rice completely) as the base of the poke. Really good stuff!! Their to-go orders are very quickly assembled. It's attached to a cute marketplace, so you can totally browse while you're waiting. read more

It was okay, but I can name a few other poke places I prefer. The big negative for me was that the fish was super salty and the rest of the plate was bland. The sauces I ordered were the house dressing and spicy mayo. I was also a little surprised to see the imitation crab was plain, and didn't have anything added to it. It still tasted fine, but not my favorite. read more

Had an hour to kill and my stomach was in the mood for Poke. I had to stop at a Safeway to grab some stuff, and refrained from picking up their Poke bowl from the hot food section with all the sushi (you know what I'm talking about right? Like, you buy the sushi at Safeway because it's there and you're hungry, but you know you're paying for overpriced fish that tastes like chewy carpet? Lol, idk about the carpet part, I just made that up). Anyways, I opened up my handy dandy Yelp App to search for a poke place in Mountain View and found Poke Bar. When I got there, I almost walked past it because it's actually located inside a market! Now, I'm not from Hawaii, nor am I a poke connoisseur, but I thought this place was pretty good! Ordering: Now, don't be like me and go up to the counter and start blabbing out an order lmao.. There's a clipboard with an order form when you enter the grocery store and some clean pens next to it. It's pretty straight forward. You can either choose from their menu of poke bowl creations, or create your own poke bowl. Service was great and my bowl was quickly made to order before my eyes. Notable takeaways: *Kelp noodles tastes like normal pasta that was colored green. Maybe a little chewier, but wasn't like the see through/transparent noodles that I was expecting. This was a $1 up charge, I didn't think it was worth it for me (I did get the fresh greens though too and that was fre$h af). *Ahi tuna tastes so fresh!! *Loved the different sauce options to mix your poke with (they recommend picking two sauces to mix) *Appreciated the many toppings to add into your poke bowl *SO MUCH FOOD. I was so full from a SMALL size (see picture attached) Would I come back? If I was in the area for a quick poke bowl craving, yes! read more

Consistently fresh and yummy. Free delivery on Ubereats and is one of my go to place to order when I stress about what to eat.

Poké Bar - Medium Poke Bowl with shrimp, scallop, and salmon - Seafood Near Me - Mountain View, California

Should've driven to the one in Santana Row. This is what I get for being lazy I guess. The dude working the bar didn't know what he was doing. Generally you pick the protein and the sauces are mixed in with the proteins... anything else like garnishes and toppings are for later. Dude mixed my green onions in with the fish, I recognized it immediately and told him to slow down. Practically had to pause him to get my usual orders. He skipped the later toppings completely and I had to rewind him to get what I want. I had to repeat my order several time and trust me I wasn't going fast... Would never come back tbh. read more
