Not huge nor tiny here. They have a few outdoor seats/tables and lots of convenient bar counter spots with chairs to sit inside. Good set up for grab and go or taking a quick bite. It's been over 10 years since I've stopped by. Good over the counter service. Clean and modern upkeep. Parking lot is popular, so traffic and parking during busy hours can be chaotic every now and then. There weren't many people inside after 1:30pm onna Tuesday though. I had the $12.55 hot rice bowl of shoyu chicken (baked) with sauces on side. The bowl isn't huge, but portions were plentiful for my appetite. It was on point good tasting, fresh, and simple. Happy. Ate too fast. Nothing fancy like other poke places that usually charge over $16 each. Poke House still kept decent prices affordable. I'm liking it here again. $12.55 for a simple poke bowl with no additives. Good for inflation times. Cashiers are well trained. Nice. read more

I was feeling pretty freaking lazy, so I ordered Poke House on Hostetter via Uber Eats. The food arrived really well-packaged, and they actually give you a free onigiri with your order! You can choose between imitation crab or baked salmon, and I went with the baked salmon for mine. For my main meal, I got a large standard salmon bowl (about $24 on Uber Eats). Honestly, there wasn't a lot of meat in it. I really felt like it was missing the fish, which was a bummer. Everything else in the bowl was cool though--it was hella textured and pretty decent overall. Would I go back again? Probably not. But honestly, it is probably still one of the better poke spots around the area. read more

Poké House - Hostetter - Hawaiian Near Me - San Jose, California

Poke House is my go-to poke spot in San Jose! I love how many flavor options that they have but my favorites have to be the Miso Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Garlic Oyster Tuna. The cucumbers are always fresh and crunchy, and there's so many topping options to choose from! I like adding the almond slices for a bit of crunch as well as furikake, nori strips, togarashi, and panko. The sauce combination that I usually go for is Sriracha Aioli, Citrus Ponzu, and House Shoyu. The portions are amazing for the price. A small bowl (2 protein choices) is about $17 but it always leaves me feeling full or sometimes, even with leftovers for my next meal. I also love that you can put your phone number down for rewards, so if you come often enough, you can cash in for a free poke bowl YAY! Love love love Poke House! read more

Poké House - Hostetter - Hawaiian Near Me - San Jose, California

I got their build-your-own medium poke bowl during lunch, and the plaza that Poke House is located in was pretty busy with a lot of other restaurants around. The place had a casual and lively atmosphere, making it a nice spot for a quick lunch. I really enjoyed how light the bowl felt even after finishing the whole thing, despite it being packed to the brim with food. I would've preferred a little more fish for the price, but they definitely load up the bowl with plenty of toppings. Their sauces were also super flavorful and a huge selling point in my opinion. Overall, I'd definitely come back again since this is one of the better poke spots in the area that I've had and the employees were nice and quick to help! read more

If you're struggling to get your food in your bag, you will have to ask for help. lol. They will let you struggle for a bit. I like the food and it's a small place. There's a couple of table outside but not sure if it belongs to teaspoon or other places. It is organized though. The 2nd last time I went there was a fly flying on the poke so I couldn't go again until recently. I just figure it was an off morning for them. read more

Ordered a large bowl with sushi rice, garlic oyster tuna, spicy miso salmon, krab salad, edamame, nori strips, and corn. The bowl was light and healthy, which made it a nice meal choice when you don't want something heavy. The garlic oyster tuna had a savory and sweet flavor, and the spicy miso salmon added a tiny bit of heat. The krab salad, edamame, and nori strips gave the bowl texture and variety. That said, the portions were small for the price, especially considering it was a large bowl. While everything tasted fresh, I expected a little more for what you pay. read more

Got the medium which comes with 3 protein scoops. I got Spicy Tuna, Garlic Oyster Salmon, and regular Salmon. I loved how crab salad was already included. Very good fish and flavors. Also, pretty decent quantity for the price. Sad that Seaweed salad was $2.25 extra but I think the quantity and quality of the other stuff balanced out. New go to poke place. read more

Poké House - Hostetter - Hawaiian Near Me - San Jose, California

Fresh poke but scoops are small for the price! Got a medium for $20 and managed to finish it all since the portions were not very big. Also got a hot bowl- roasted miso chicken, which was good but kind of weird to taste chicken in my poke bowl. Sauces are good though. Limited seating with chairs too low for the tables. read more

the freshness of the salmon is good. the portion size and the toppings they give are perfect. the prices is very good too. i quite enjoy dipping my salmon in their ponzu citrus sauce. order through their app for pick up or go inside and order. parking is a bitch on the weekend but if you can find parking than all is good. the location is near plenty of food places and boba too. after eating here you can walk to the nearest grocery store, ranch 99. read more

Feeling like lots of other recent customers. Quality of sushi is ok at best these days. The scoops seem to be getting smaller and smaller. The service is absolutely disappointing. The employee working on bowls in front of me just disappeared. Someone else came out from the kitchen to start making bowls. He started on the customer in front of me, started on mine, and then pushed mine aside to work on another order. Then another employee came out and worked on his bowl that he took to his break (sitting right there in the restaurant) before my order was finally completed. Ten minutes from door to cash register on a slow night for a single bowl.... read more

Overall great experience and great food! Just wished they had water available. The worker gladly got some for me, but had to get it from the back. Loved how fresh everything was! So refreshing and satisfying. read more

I think for poke, the price point is high for their serving size. I feel like they could give more protein. It was still good, but I think it's a bit overpriced for what you get. Food was fresh, store was clean. read more

Parking can be a pain with a lot of aggressive or bad drivers if you go at the wrong time. Workers are always friendly and fast. Have been going here for almost a decade. Prices have crept up overtime but it's still good poke that I crave now and then. Make sure to use their rewards or order through Doordash to get a free Poke bowl after a while. read more

This is maybe the third or fourth location I've tried & poke house is consistently good. They have so many options & give you so much food, I always leave satisfied. The service was very friendly and they offer indoor & outdoor seating. Recommend ! read more

Their poke has gone down in quality. When they first open I remember it was soooo good! but now I can say its average. I recently ordered from here and I can say that their rice quality also went down. They added so much water to the rice when cooking or prepping it because their rice is mushy. I did not know one can mess up on rice 0-0. It was as if i was eating porridge. It was that mushy...yeah Ever since I've had Poki Run, this place doesnt hit anymore. its also expensive compared to other places. read more

Friendly staff and generous portions. But somehow the rice, the literal foundation of the dish, was hard. Not sure how you mess up the rice of all things. read more

Poke House has been my go-to spot for poke in San Jose for yearsss. The quality of the fish is consistently fresh and delicious. They also have a wide variety of toppings and sauces. I normally get the Scottish salmon as my protein, but this time I decided to try the spicy miso salmon and it did not disappoint! Service is always quick and parking is pretty convenient, as there's a big lot in the front. There's not too much seating inside, but there are a few extra tables outside. read more

Ordered the exactly same thing but the bowl was a lot smaller today, my large bowl was not so large. Bummer

I can't remember the last time I stopped by Poke House but I know for a fact it's been YEARS AND YEARS. Since I was in the area and have been having major poke craving, convenience kind of took over and laziness won. The menu itself hasn't really changed too much aside from price increases- totally expected btw. Extra points because I like how Poke House offer bowls catered to kids. Order: Kid's Crab Bowl $13.50 Build Your Own Bowl- Small $15.70 [half sushi rice, half greens] The ingredients seemed pretty fresh, work station was tidy, but the portions provided are small. While I do not expect mounds of food being scooped- especially when it comes to your choice of protein- but the designated scoops aren't even filled as you move along the poke assembly line. My daughter's 2 scoops of crab was CLEARLY unmatched. Thinking the girl would grab a bit more, I was left dumbfounded as she moved further down to the other ingredients. My bowl wasn't much different but the protein portions weren't as obvious as the crab. Food Breakdown: The sushi rice was not good. Not only was the sushi rice missing the distinct tart undertone, the rice was mush and clumpy. Whoever was in charge of cooking the rice failed. Fish tasted fresh but the flavoring honestly didn't do it for me- normally I eat my poke bowl as is and in this case soy sauce was needed. Crab was good & tasted as you'd expect. Quality and taste has only continued to dwindle. 2 Stars overall. 1 star because the staff was nice and another star because of the kid's menu offering. I personally won't be back but I'd make a return for my kid's meal. read more

Convenient place to grab lunch, although this plaza can get pretty busy. The service here is always meh, the workers aren't happy to be here, especially the day before a holiday. Their salmon is good compared to their other proteins. As for the sauces? They have pre sets where you just tell them what number you want and they'll throw it in for you. Less hassle. For some reason everytime I come here, I'll just say give me the #5, the workers are always confused..like what's #5? If you look on their sauce options, You'll see #5, which lists their most spicy sauce mixes so you don't gotta rap it out for them. But I guess they prefer you to be the difficult and name everything you want individually. Regarding the 2 stars, I think the staff here should atleast know their menu...that's the bare minimum. Also work on the customer service. I don't ask for a million things to be added into my bowl compared to most people and still get shit service. The only thing keeping them from being 1 star is the salmon. read more

I did a BYOB here and i think it's pretty good! Decent size bowl and I like how they don't put a limit on the number of toppings you want. They also have a pretty big selection of toppings that some places don't have like corn, pineapple, tomato. The imitation crab was on the dryer side though. For the price I would come back and fish tasted fresh too Not a lot of seating in the restaurant but I think most people take it to go read more

Poke House has become my go-to spot in the North San Jose area, especially since it's conveniently close to my office. The fish is always fresh and high quality, and I love the variety of toppings and sauces they offer. My favorite protein choices are the miso salmon and the garlic oyster tuna--both are packed with flavor. I usually go for the #5 sauce combo, which has the spiciest options, and it always hits the spot. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size and quality, and the service has consistently been fast and friendly. Highly recommend if you're craving poke! read more

I've been coming to Poke House for almost 5 years now and I still love it every single time I stop by. The flavor of the fish, the toppings and the sauces make this place stand out so much. I've tried other Poke locations and places similar but nothing comes even remotely close. For my fish lovers out there, this is the perfect spot to visit every once in a while if you're craving Salmon/Tuna/Shrimp! Fair pricing and amazing service every single time! read more

Poké House - Hostetter - Large Build Your Own (4 Scoops Bowl) - Hawaiian Near Me - San Jose, California

The poke is decent, price matches surrounding area around $20 total for regular bowl. The sitting area could be better lit/ seat height is a little wierd, but it's clearly more take out vibes. -2 stars for customer service - employees here and I noticed at other locations of this chain (Campbell location too) are generally pretty unprofessional, not really paying attention to customers (there were literally 1-2 customers total in the store) and gossiping/cursing loudly as they're serving or standing around. I've worked food service before, so I understand it can get stressful/tedious, but there should be overall a better attitude/attentiveness especially in front of paying customers - lots of room for improvement here. read more

Whenever I crave poke, I go to Poke House. It's the restaurant that began my addiction for poke, in part due to their fresh ingredients and delicious sauces. My sister loves Tuna, so she always gets the Tuna Lover medium bowl. But I'm a little more picky, always opting for custom build-your-own medium bowl. For those interested, here's my go-to: - Sushi rice for the base - Octopus, spicy tuna, and spicy salmon for the protein - Corn, mango, pineapple, and a (free) scoop of imitation crab - Topped off with furikake and the citrus ponzu, sriracha aioli, unagi sauce combination. Sometimes I like to add a scoop of seaweed salad, but they charge an extra $2.00 on top of the rather expensive $17.95 base price. But regardless of what I get, I always enjoy it, especially their fish, though mangoes can be quite sour at times. But despite all that, I'll likely remain a loyal customer anyway, at least until I find a place that does poké even better. Cheers! read more

It was pretty good. Better than I thought for sure. Got two poke bowls. Fish was somewhat fresh and soft. The rice was not too hard and not too soggy. We got one Tuna and one Salmon, togo. Small was perfect for me, not full but satisfying. It isn't cheap but I wouldn't consider them expensive. Inside was clean. We didn't get any sauce. There was plenty of flavor as is. Workers were ok. Sometimes I get someone really friendly and other times I get someone that isn't as nice. But this is our neighborhood poke place so we come fairly often. Good for when you're wanting poke quick. read more

This is my go-to spot. Every single poke bowl I ordered from here, it's rarely a missed! Their service staff are amazing, always friendly and provide great customer service. They'll always provide extra if i ask, (but only do it for 2-3 small toppings like crunchy onion) Ambiance could be improved since the tables and chairs are very pretty small imo, but for a quick lunch, it's great to some people. I love this location and would continue to support them here. read more

Pros - good poke when you're in a pinch! Cons - super expensive, pretty limited topping options, and minimal seating. I got a small build your own poke bowl and it came with two scoops of protein (+ toppings) for about $15. I'd recommend the salmon since you usually can't go wrong with it! I wasn't too big of a fan of the pineapples since they were rather sour. They're pretty generous with the rice serving too, and I easily got full. Parking is okay but can be hectic during busy hours. It was raining the day we visited, so there were only seats along the wall available if you were dining in. Not the best poke I've had but overall a 4/5! read more

A chicken bowl at a poke place? Not bad, not bad! Although I haven't had a chance to try their poke yet, the ingredients are plentiful and fresh. The pieces of fish look meaty and succulent and the additional toppings are vibrant in color. As with all poke places, there are options for sizes and topping customizations. The prices for their bowls seem pretty standard for poke but the variety and freshness of the toppings makes Poke House stand out. We had a chicken bowl order prepared and it had a decent chunk of chicken over rice. The meat was hearty and the rice was abundant. The sauces that came with the meat paired well and gave a different taste to the meal. It was filling! There were a few spots to sit inside but within this huge mall, there are plenty of outdoor seating as well should you take your food to go. The staff members provide great service and are patient with their customers, no matter how busy it is. It was a great experience! Overall, if you're hankering for something over rice, you'll do no wrong by coming to Poke House. Chicken or poke, you'll be full at a fair price! read more

Solid poke spot, and a go to for a quick meal and poke craving. The prices have increased greatly since it first opened, but it's also understandable because of the rising costs.... I get a small now which comes with two (2) proteins and it's pretty filling for me! My boyfriend gets a large that comes with five (5) proteins and it's the one rare thing that gets him super full! There are a lot of different protein options and toppings here which makes it more appealing when you're building your own bowl (as a somewhat picky person) Service is quick and all of them are knowledgeable in the products available! The interior has minimal seats and is not too accommodating for big groups, but perfect for two! read more

Food: Decent. Nice selection to choose from. Service: They could use some coaching on public relations. Management needs to address this as an important service skill. Cleanliness: ALL the tables inside and outside were filthy dirty with accumulated scraps from customers. Crows were feasting off the garbage left on the outside tables. The two staff members were chatting behind the counter when they could have been cleaning up. Do better folks. read more

Ingredients are always so fresh, and the flavors are incredible! The Spicy Tuna was a perfect balance of heat and flavor. It melts in your mouth and has just the right kick! If you're a fan of something with a bit of spice, this is a must-try. I also had the Octopus, which was tender and delicious -- not rubbery like you get at some places. You can tell they put care into preparing it right. But the Spicy Miso Salmon? WOW. The miso adds a unique depth, making the salmon pop with rich, umami goodness. It's definitely my new favorite! The portion sizes are generous, the toppings are plentiful, and the service is always friendly and fast. read more

Only ever get their pokebowls. That's the only good thing there. Their handrolls barely have any fish was mainly cucumber and rice. Their miso and rice bowl is very misleading with the product picture on doordash showing that there would be salmon included. When I received it there was no salmon. Very disappointing. read more
