Delicious, Fresh Fish with Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I loved this spot for its delicious and very fresh fish. The portions were good, and I appreciated that I could get an extra scoop of fish.
The staff was friendly, and the service was very fast.

Disappointing Poke Bowl Experience
Don’t be fooled by the reviews. My experience was marked by questionable hygiene and cleanliness standards, judging by the state of the place. The food tasted similar to supermarket poke bowls, and the fish portions were tiny even for SF standards – I counted about 7 cubes of salmon lol.
They give a ton of rice for the large order, making it look big, but again, it’s mostly rice. For $20 bucks for a large, it's not worth it. Save your troubles and go elsewhere if you can help it.
This place mainly caters to the UCSF crowd so it doesn’t care for standards.

Terrible Service, Okay Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the customer service. While the food was just okay, the service was terrible. The cashier was unfriendly, gave me attitude, and didn't say a word when I asked for utensils, only pointing.
I won't be returning to this place.

Consistently Fresh and Fast Lunch Spot
I love this place! I go all the time after visiting Kaiser. The quality never wavers; it’s always fresh.
The staff are friendly and the food comes out hella fast. I recommend getting a bowl then walking to the Mission Bay Park on Mcovey Cove. It's a lovely combo.

Tasty Tuna, Mushy Rice, Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant involved enjoying tasty tuna, though the rice was cooked mushier than I personally prefer. The protein portions were not large but were in line with other poke places in the Bay. The service was very friendly.

Authentic Poke, Real Deal
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! As someone who formerly lived in Hawaii, I can confidently say this is the real deal when it comes to poke. The food was exceptional, earning a perfect 5/5.
I highly recommend the Poke Life Special Bowl. The service was also top-notch, rated 5/5. I visited for lunch and the price per person was between $10–20.

Vegetarian bowl lacked sauce and flavor
My experience with the vegetarian bowl was disappointing. It literally had no sauce. If I wanted plain, unseasoned vegetables on top of plain, unseasoned rice, I would have made that myself.
It's hard to call it a poke bowl without any poke sauce.

Disappointing Poke and Parking Woes
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative. The parking situation in the area is bad, making the visit almost not worth it, as it seems to cater primarily to the hospital/staff. Regarding the food, the poke wasn't all that great, and I felt like I was skimped on the portion size.
Overall, I had a 0 for 3 experience in terms of quality and size.
