[[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is clean, portion size is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker is thorough, double checks everything you want to put into your bowl. They have a notice on their door saying they'll increase their prices starting Jan 1, 2026. However, compared to other poke chains, I still believe Poke House offers the best bang for your buck. Their handrolls are better than other poke places as well. read more

I had a disappointing experience today. The employee who took my order "Lara" was rude and didn't seem welcoming. What stood out the most was how she handled the food. She was throwing the serving utensils into the ingredient containers after each scoop including the spicy tuna, cucumbers, and even the sauce ladles. It came across as careless and unprofessional especially when preparing someone's food. I understand places have their own serving procedures but the way the food was handled and the overall attitude made for a poor customer experience. read more

Poke House is an established chain that never disappoints. My friend and I were both craving poke, and this location happened to be the closest one -- and it did not let us down! I ordered a large bowl with brown rice, 2 scoops of garlic oyster tuna, 1 scoop of spicy tuna, and 1 scoop of spicy miso salmon -- plus all the mix-ins and toppings, of course. For sauces, I went with house shoyu, sriracha aioli, garlic soy vinaigrette, and miso aioli (I like my bowl extra saucy!). They really loaded it up, and the scoops of fish were noticeably larger than most other poke spots I've been to. Each fish tasted fresh with no aftertaste, and by the time I was halfway through, I realized I probably could've gone with a medium bowl -- it's a generous portion! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating, but most people just grabbed their order and left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have soy sauce and wasabi packets for self-serve. Just a heads-up: the wasabi here is strong -- two packets was enough to clear my sinuses with every bite. If you're a wasabi fan, you'll love the quality here. Overall, great portions, super fresh fish, and friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Had my first ever poke experience here and now I'm hooked! According to my best friend, this is one of the best places in San Jose to get fresh poke. I was impressed by how customizable their bowls are and how generous their portions are! I ordered a medium, which comes with 3 scoops and crab salad. I loaded mine up with lots of veggies. Love the zucchini spirals! My favorite fish was the garlic oyster tuna. Yum! They also have so many sauces. As a first time guest, their employees were kind and helpful. I didn't feel rushed at all.

Poke house is one of my favorite poke places in SJ ever since I've moved here 8 years ago. I usually always get my usual order of oyster tuna, salmon, tuna, and octopus. I love their sauces of sesame oil and shoyu. I recently started getting the creamy aioli on the side for some creaminess taste. Overall I really enjoyed this poke house read more

Super bummed it took me so long to like poke because this place is great! My coworkers many moons ago would come here for lunch all the time and I would sit it out, so when I recently was craving poke I remembered this spot and gave it a try! I ordered a medium bowl which was absolutely massive and came with 3 scoops of poke. I went with the ahi tuna, spicy miso salmon, and garlic oyster tuna. I was worried the salmon might be a little too spicy, and the girl working was nice enough to offer me a sample before deciding to go with it! The ingredients were all fresh and flavorful, and I liked that they had such a wide variety of toppings and sauces. So many sauces in fact that it was a little overwhelming having to pick, luckily you aren't limited to just one. Would definitely come back here! read more

I love poké house!!! i've been to this location 5+ times and i've always had good experiences. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's clean inside and there is utensils available for dining in or taking home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, parking is tough. The parking lot is small and usually filled up. There is some street parking nearby if you don't mind walking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fish is always fresh and tasty, staff are kind and helpful, and there is always seating available inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer a free scoop of crab, and plenty of toppings to choose from. You can expect to pay at least $20 for a bowl if you get the seaweed salad for an additional cost (which is a must have). Portions are very reasonable too. I'm a loyal poke house fan. read more

Usually our go to for poke since it's close and that we can do an online order for pickup. They have a ton of toppings and the fish always taste fresh. I like that they offer a free scoop of krab salad in each bowl. Lots of different sauces so you can always try something new. The parking lot is small though and seems to always be packed so that's one thing to be mindful of.

Dasia and An were incredibly rude from the moment I walked in. The customer service was cold, unwelcoming, and it genuinely felt like they didn't want to be there or help anyone. On top of that, the portions they served were surprisingly small compared to what you'd expect, making the experience feel even more disappointing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire atmosphere in the store was uncomfortable--the employees made it obvious they hated their jobs, and that negativity carried over to the customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was inconveniencing them just by ordering. I understand everyone has bad days, but professionalism and basic courtesy go a long way. Unfortunately, between the poor attitude and skimpy portions, I left feeling dissatisfied and won't be returning. read more

Decided to try out Poke House via doordash pick up order. Two of us ordered: -one large poke ball -one small poke bowl -one miso soup Starters...miso soup was not in our order. I thought it was a bit odd that it was left out since they weren't busy. Or if they ran out, they could have said something. Had to spend some more time with Doordash to get a refund for it. All the fish and toppings tasted about the same. Not the freshest fish for sure. We had stomach aches later that night and rolling over into the morning. Overall, on the bland side. Rice was clump and not fresh. I rarely eat any poke outside of Hawaii, and this continues to prove the point. Parking is limited in the small plaza. read more

We decided to check out this location for lunch since we had good experiences with the palo alto location. At first bat the tuna looked questionable, and im glad we were able to get a sample because it was definitely stringy... that's the con with tuna though its rare for it to be fresh anywhere in the bay area. Anyway I went with salmon and enjoyed my bowl, I liked the numerous topping choices especially the fruit (mango and pineapple) and wasabi. Giving a 3 stars because my partner's bowl was a little bland even though he got the pre seasoned salmon... I think we enjoyed the palo alto location better read more

Had lunch here yesterday and it was very filling. They are located in a small strip mall with a small parking lot. We got the last available parking spot. We ordered two medium size poke bowls. Customer service was good. Both bowls were packed full and they were very generous with the proteins. I loved all the options available, especially the my mango and pineapple options. My only complaint was that the spices tuna was crazy salty like it was soaked in soy sauce. We also ordered a drink. We were incorrectly charged for our drink. We talked to the employee about the incorrect charge and they fixed it with no problem. They are very kind employees.

Ordered from Too Good To Go, because I really hate food waste and thought we'd get a good deal on two chicken bowls. Just like a previous reviewer, (didn't see their review until after I picked up unfortunately) we feel very short changed and misled. $5 each (labeled at a $15 value) for a block of sushi rice and a little bit of chicken. We had to go to Safeway across the street and spend MORE money to actually make these things edible. Staff was friendly, but overall this experience put a bad taste in our mouths (pun intended). Because of the overall taste and lack of ALL/ANY TOPPINGS like their menu has, we will not be returning. read more

My husband also chomped on a huge bone, but luckily the bone didn't attack him. Whoever "de-boned" the salmon tonight needs to either be properly trained or not do it.

TLDR: Salmon was not fresh, had a gray/dull look to it, and slimy/crunchy texture. Feels like I wasted $17 since I didn't want to risk getting a stomachache. :( I ordered through GrubHub since I was craving poke and wanted to try a new place nearby. Most of the reviews on here say it was great so I had high hopes! I ordered the Spam Musubi Hand Roll and Build Your Own, Small - 2 Scoops. The Spam Musubi Hand Roll was interesting. It reminded me of how you open and fold an onigiri. It was flavorful and filling for lunch! It was as big as my hand. For the poke, I ordered the Build Your Own with spicy miso salmon and Scottish salmon. I think the poke was old because the first few bites I had was slimy and had a crunchier texture. Maybe it was poke from the day before, not sure. I also requested my sauces on the side since it would have been soggy from the delivery. My sauces were not on the side so the whole bowl was soggy & my lettuce was drenched in sauce. Wasn't as appetizing as I wanted it to be. Pretty disappointed in the quality of the salmon. read more

Aloha Fresh

Aloha Fresh has the right to claim its freshness!…read more I have been coming to this spot for years and truly believe the quality has not declined at all. All their fish is so clean, all the flavors are bold without overwhelming the true essence of the tuna, salmon, or shrimp, and this is definitely the closest thing you can get here in San Jose comparable to Hawaii. This spot is located in the strip of Japantown, downtown, and has limited parking if you're going on a weekend, as a heads up. The store itself is small and is more of a grab-and-go with no seating. You enter and head straight to the back to order with their staff, and then once they pack everything up, you pay at the counter. You can order their poke bowls, hot bar food (which is pretty delicious - I like the salt and vinegar chicken), their poke nachos (which are trending, but it's not my favorite), and/or you can buy poke by weight (¼ lb-1 lb increments), which is what I usually do. At the end, you can also order musubis or their butter mochis (actually so bomb)! They have a variety of poke flavors you can try, but I will say my favorites are the Kalbi and the Smokey poke, those are the most unique. Overall, this is the number one spot I recommend for people to go when they stop by SJ!

This is very similar to my previous experience, where part of my order was missing altogether. At this point, it's hard to justify giving them another chance. It's especially frustrating because the food itself has been great when it's correct. Issues like this point to a lack of quality control, whether that's from insufficient training or not taking enough care when preparing orders. Poke isn't cheap, so when mistakes like this happen--especially more than once--it's incredibly disappointing. Sadly, this will likely be the last time I order from here.

The prices seem expensive, but the portions are huge and so worth it. The poke bowl was a great way to try a variety of different fish. The roll was very flavorful.

If I lived closer it would be hard to resist coming here multiple times per week. Definitely want to get the $100+ platter for a special occasion!

Everyone knows this is the best place to get poke in San Jose! My boyfriend and I always get their…read moreSpicy Tuna Poke by the tub ($46 for large), make rice at home, and get to enjoy their poke for the next few days for our meals! We come often and get a large amount of poke and their quality always meets expectations every time. It's only window ordering (and not a sit down restaurant) so wait times can get a little lengthy with many people coming during lunch breaks and with it just being a popular place. I definitely recommend to order through their website online before you start driving! I always get to skip in front of the pick up line and just pick up my food when I arrive. Their parking lot only has about 7 spots and is almost always full but the spots can open up quick with everyone coming in and out. There's a lot of street parking too. The environment is great here. They also have many snacks and Hawaiian Sun drinks! I would love to try their mochi in the future. Always happy to come and get Santo Market!

Ordered 2 poke bowls, a shrimp plate, and one of their rice cracker snacks that all came up to…read moreroughly $50-$55 bucks in total (not including the strawberry mochi; we came around 10ish in the morning, which was about 25 minutes or so AFTER they were sold out, otherwise it might've been over $60ish in total). Price is pretty steep for something like this. The owner or person taking our order seemed like a confident or very straight forward / strong type personality, which I'm fine with because I naturally have a bit of a strong personality as well so it didn't bother me, although it would've been better if he smiled or something so it doesn't seem like he's coming off like a New Yorker. Just sayin. But I also know that he's simply doing his job so it's nothing personal. Anyhow, the food he talked a good game on it being the best in the Bay Area turned out to be quite mid IMPO. The shrimp was 100% overcooked, the side Mac salad was actually *not* good at all and it sucks because that's something I feel like you can't mess up but it was gross unfortunately, I spat it out even tho I hate wasting food. It just didn't taste freshly made whatsoever. The poke bowl wasn't comparable to Hawaii since he mentioned it's just as good... but honestly I think everyone's taste buds are different because to me, the poke bowl was totally mid, but it could taste really good to someone else and that's certainly OK! Also -- I like salty things esp when I crave for it but this was quite heavy on the salt, which made my experience the way it was. Even though it could've been better, I came with no expectations and just wanted to see what the fuss was about. That said, the only thing that was good was the rice cracker snack we bought and that's it. Glad I still gave this place a try, but personally for me, it's definitely my last visit. Maybe I'll come back at an earlier time to get one of their strawberry mochi but other than that, I think I'll rest my case here.

I got the large bowl with the soba noodle option (my first time getting it). This was like any other poke places, but the toppings offered were a lot more! I like that they had, mango, pineapple, radish, tomatoes, and chicharrones. And I LOVED that avocado, crab salad, and seaweed salad were already included in the price. I got the last of the soba noodles, so I was surprised that even though it was closing, she went into the back to get me more soba noodles even though it seemed like the amount she had given me was enough. they also allowed however many sauces you wanted to marinate the fish in. I chose unagi, the house sauce and ponzu. I also asked for spicy mayo drizzle at the end. my brother got the wasabi mayo but he said he barely tasted the wasabi when mixed in. total came out to be around $40 for two large bowls. I wasn't sure what I was expecting for the soba noodles, but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. the sauces from the marinade seeped into the noodles gave it a nice light flavor. the fish was fresh and chicharrones were such a good contrast with the crunch (im a huge textures girl). I was able to eat half and and save the other half for lunch the next day. because I got soba noodles, I did not have to worry about heating up rice and separating the fish, so it was perfect. This might be a new way im gonna have to eat my poke from now on!

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.

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 really appreciate that the team carefully followed my instructions and customized the bowl exactly as requested. However, I felt that the sauces were lacking. I chose eel sauce, spicy sauce, and ponzu sauce, but despite the combination, the overall flavor was very mild. At other locations, this mix usually delivers a noticeable kick and depth, but in this case, it tasted under-seasoned. Additionally, some parts of the rice seemed a bit hard. Not sure if the rice was sitting out for a while. Overall, I'd rate this experience 4 stars. The accuracy of my order and the variety of toppings were great, but the flavor and rice texture could be improved. I will give it another try by ordering in-store to see if there's a difference.
