Visited The Wind Wolves Preserve today and The Poke Express was out for today's Spring Festival. I ordered the poke nachos with eel sauce and sriracha mayo. My order was made quickly and the workers were really kind. My poke nachos came with fried wontons, green onion, imitation crab, ahi tuna, and eel sauce and sriracha mayo. On a warm day, the nachos hit perfectly! Can't wait to find you guys again and try more items! read more

I bought a poke bowl and a pop up at Windwolves Preserve Festival. The service was fast but sadly I won't buy another bowl. The tuna did not taste fresh and was chewy. The portions were also lacking. read more

Visited them outside the Westlane Brewing co. The cashier was pleasant. The poke was so underwhelming. Flavorless. I was only able to choose the topping sauces, and all the bowl tasted like was bad mayonnaise. I'm so disappointed. read more

Before all the Poke restaurants opened in town, Poke Express ranked as the Best Poke in Bakersfield!! Had tried poke in many of the sushi places and acai bowl shops in town, but none could beat Poke Express. Yes compared to places outside of Bako, they are pricier. The sushi places in Bakersfield are more expensive than this awesome food stand though. Also, you can save $1 by checking in on Yelp. I like the fact that their fresh ahi tuna is not over marinaded. Many places in town put too much soy sauce and other marinade in their poke that it overwhelms the flavor. They have a nice selection of fixings and toppings with which to customize your bowls. Service is terrific. Poke Express does not have a brick and mortar location. We find them on Sundays at the Haggin Oaks Farmers Market. Before the Poke restaurants opened up, Poke Express was the place for us to go. They are still 5 stars in my book. read more

Two words -BULGOGI FRIES. You're welcome. Haha. We also got a poke bowl with tuna and salmon and a spam musubi. I wish their serving size was a little bigger, but for $10ish a bowl I suppose it was priced right. I would be willing to pay an extra $2-3 for good quality and quantity food. read more

I am in love and I can't wait to try more items! This weekend I was able to try the shrimp tempura, kimchi, and spring rolls. Each item was cooked to perfection and garnished with green onions and creamy siracha Mayo. The customer service was top notch and the owners genuinely made me feel like family. I can't wait to try the poke and other menu items. read more

Farmer's market is coming up in the world! There was a time when farmer's market was all about the fresh veggies, fresh fruits and the fresh squeezed juices, but over time the Farmer's market has become a place for new businesses to introduce their products and if it'll become a hit. The Poke Express has instantly become a hit for me and I kid you not, they have got me craving their yummy poke. Bakersfield doesn't really have any poke places, so poke is new and different for a lot of Bakersfield people and unfortunately a lot of people find themselves asking if they should eat raw fish or not. You either will love it or you're not gonna try it, because once you try it then I believe you can get past the raw fish phobia and love it. It's really addicting and can be pricey if you eat here all the time, but trust me, it's worth it. The poke here is tasty and you have more options for toppings, unfortunately the bowls are smaller than the other guys, so that's the downside. They have quality ingredients here and you can tell everything is fresh. read more

I was super bummed that during the month of July The Poké Express would not be on hand at the Farmer's Market downtown but then I realized they are not far from home on a Sunday. Every Sunday they are at the Haggins Oak Farmer's Market off Ming Avenue in the Kaiser Permanente parking lot along with several other amazing vendors. After a few weekends passing by I was finally able to make it out here and it was pretty damn amazing. I arrived around noon and with no surprise they were sold out of some items which I was okay with. Instead of steamed rice I got brown rice, it is pretty much a build your own poké bowl starting with the base of rice. You then pick sides which go on top, they were out of Seaweed Salad which would have been delish but I was still able to get crab meat, edamame, cucumber, red onion and tofu. After that you choose a sauce, the poke is already marinate in the sesame shoyu but if needed you can add more, I did a mix of wasabi aioli and siracha aioli. Lastly you choose toppings, I took it all! I added furikake, green onions, crispy garlic and pickled ginger which added such amazing depth of flavor. Upon walking up to their stand I glanced over the area, I always do this with food stands or food trucks, if give me a sense of how clean they are. I look for food dropping, smudges, open containers and ladles left airing out. Here at The Poké Express, you see such a spic and span stand, the freezer is in pristine condition as well as the surrounding environment. I learn this observation from my wife who is a clean fanatic which in my case is a god send. All of the ingredients were extremely fresh, nothing more than a day old. The Poké itself was perfect in texture, flavor and visibility. Each vegetable has a fresh crisp to each bite and their pickled ginger made me a fan, I am not a fan of ginger as it is. The Poké Express is well established and can sell it rather quickly, as I saw for myself today I just made it because I was the last customer to get a full bowl. The prices are good as well, $10 for the regular bowl and $13 for the large which you definitely get a great amount of food in both. Another great attribute they have is their great customer service, both ladies were friendly and ensure my order was well document before putting together. They were sure to build a customer relationship and even remembered me from messaging them on Instagram, they knew me by my first name which stands out a lot. If you are lover of Poké, you better not miss out on the opportunity for The Poké Express; if you haven't tried Poké, you can build your bowl to your taste buds which is not common amongst a lot of food places. read more

Omg this was so delicious!!!! We got there shortly before they closed and ordered our food, poke burrito, poke bowl, & chicken egg rolls. The ladies working were super friendly and answered an questions we had. They gave us a pager so we could go inside WLB and order our beers. It took about 10 minutes for our food to be ready and it was so fresh and yummy!!!! I don't like seaweed in fact it makes me usually turn my nose up but the seaweed used to wrap the burrito was very mild and didn't have the normal seaweed flavor. The poke bowl was huge and the egg rolls were two normal sized egg rolls cut in half served with sweet chili sauce, yum! They had a lot of different sauces you could get on your food as well. Wasabi mayo, spicy mayo, eel sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a few others I can't remember. read more

OK, Sunday Farmers Market at Kaiser Market Place is a must do every week. Not just for the organic veggie's and fruit and the occasional knife sharpening, but for the absolutely killer Poke Bowl or in my case because of the carb free thing, a Poke Salad!!! The portion size is perfect. The choices on toppings which you can have one or all is perfect. The freshness of the Ahi is out of bounds yummy!!!!! Now if they delivered to SJCH life our be great!!!! Come out and give them a try you will not be sorry!!!! read more

Loved it loved it loved it. The tuna was fresh and delicious. The sriracha aioli sauce was amazing! I had the small order and it was very satisfying. The owners were very polite and offered great suggestions. My only complaint is that they don't have a brick and mortar restaurant or a food truck. It's a pop up at the Farmer's Market on Ming Avenue on Sundays. Poke Express if you're reading this, please invest in a food truck and open more often. read more

The Poke Express - Hawaiian Near Me

The Poke Express was at the Haggin Oaks Farmer's Market today. I got a bowl with white rice(you can also choose brown rice) and all the sides they had. It was really fresh and tasty, tasted how a poke bowl is supposed to taste. It was sold at $10 a bowl, and worth it. The bowl contents were: rice, edamame, seaweed salad, green onion, red onion, cucumber, ahi tuna, crab meat, I added some ginger , sesame seeds and mild wasabi sauce at the end to pull all the flavors together. They also have avocado as an ingredient but they were out by the time I got there, and 5 different sauces from mild to hot that I could see. I hope to have them again, because it really was good. read more

Wow! We had their bulgogi fries with a perfectly cooked fried egg on top. The fries were hot and crispy and the flavors melded together deliciously. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped by their food stall at Haggin Oaks Farmer's Market and ordered three Chicken Terayaki Bowls. Two regular bowls and one with hot sauce. I was hungry and was disappointed at the portion sizes. Maybe they ran out of rice because they gave me a very small amount of rice in each bowl. The taste was just average. I won't eat there again. read more

The Poke Express - The bowl is half full. - Hawaiian Near Me

This place was OK but not great. For the price, the bowls are kind of small. The fish was OK but not the best cuts, however, everything was fresh and edible. The Poke here is just not jumping with flavor. It is average at best. I guess I've been spoiled with really great Poke places in San Diego and L.A., so by comparison this isn't great, but It's good. I still like the Poke at Rio Acai bowls better, I think it just has more flavor. I am not mad at this establishment. I feel that the food is fine and the service and staff were really nice. I do, however, owe it to the Yelp community to give an honest review. If you want Poke and it doesn't have to blow your socks off, The Poke Express will do you just fine. I liked the food, but I won't drive across town for it. read more

Poke Express is so fun! As a brewery person the food truck scene is the source of sustenance for the marathon of drinking. This place has soMe super cool and tasty options that change the pace for the food truck dining experience. The owner/children operated shop is so cool and they make sure youRe taken care of and happy with your order. If you see this place, it's definitely worth a try. read more

I tried the poke express when they had a stand on campus (csub) and it was AMAZING, it was my first time trying poke and it was a great experience, I first bought tuna poke bowl and it was scrumptious, the second time I tried a beef bowl because they ran out of tuna and I was so glad they did because it was great too, what I like about this place is that there are so many sides to choose from and they charge you the same if you get them all. read more

If I were to give you some and tell you it's from a pop up food stand you wouldn't believe me. Great spot if you can find them before they sell out. read more

The bulgogi fries were amazing. Perfect seasoning and amount of toppings vs fries. Totally recommended this place.

Finally got to try this after my mouth watering for two months looking at their pictures and yelp reviews. There is nothing like it in town. Very authentic poke bowls and only one word to describe it, DELICIOUS! The best around! Keep up the good work Emma and Nick! Get out here and support these guys because this place will "Poke" you silly! Even my daughter who doesn't even really like fish or tuna or seafood had an ah ha moment her first bite! So good! Thanks Poke Express! read more

Super fresh and flavorful ingredients. Went to their food truck location at the Haggin Oaks Farmers Market on the last Sunday of June 2017. Their food is extremely fresh and tasty; however, they are a bit pricey. I got the large bowl ($13) and it didn't fill me up. The service was fast and friendly. They accept cash and credit cards. read more

This is something Bakersfield has needed for a long time: real Hawaiian Poke bowls! The tuna is some of the best I have ever had in Bakersfield. All the toppings and sides are delicious and freshly prepared. The sauces are super tasty. The wasabi mayo was my favorite but my husband couldn't decide between the hot wasabi and the Sriracha ones. I love the amount of options and how wonderfully everything goes together. The customer service was top notch as well. They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions! I highly recommend them and will DEFINITELY be back for more! read more

Delicious food and option to have salad instead of rice was exactly what I needed. They have no storefront currently, so it makes it hard to visit them. They are only at the local farmer's market and you've got to get there before they run out. I definitely crave their poke, though. So many fun and delicious toppings to chose from! read more

Stopped by the farmers market in the Kaiser parking lot on Ming. First time trying Poke Express and was glad we did. The chef was very friendly and offered us a sample. The tuna was very tasty and there was a variety of toppings. We opted for everything which included crab, seaweed salad, edemame, red onion, crispy onion, pickled ginger, and crunchy garlic. Sauce options were sesame, wasabi aioli, and sriracha aioli. We had our salad poke bowl with wasabi & sriracha and a rice bowl with sesame. Both were great and very delicious. If you're in the area on Sunday, I would definitely recommend stopping by read more
