Some of the freshest fish I’ve eaten around San Diego, if you are the type that doesn’t like the “fishy taste”, these Poke plates are the farthest thing from it.... you’ll be happy you ordered it, served with eco friendly utensils that are great for the ocean ???? ???????? #surfsup ????
The ONLY place I’ll go for poke while in Ocean Beach, or San Diego for that matter...They make POKE.. not POKI... There’s a BIG difference! Always fresh, fast, friendly and a MUST STOP every time we’re in town!
My first time eating poke. It was pretty good! I love raw fish, and this stuff was pretty fresh. I got a plate with the furikake salmon and shuyou ahi ($15). I also tried my friend's kimchi salmon. I can't do spicy (like, at all) but it wasn't very spicy. I was so full by the end of eating! The furikake sauce was a little salty for me by the end, but still, pretty good food.
A different (and superior) take on poke'. If you're poke experience is the local poke shop set up like Subway or Chipotle, that is: "base, protein, and topping," this is different and more authentic. You're HERE for the poke; that is raw fish, not the filler. You're presented with a refrigerated case with the selection of prepped fish, tuna, salmon, ahi. Unlike most poke shops, the fish here is prepped in a light coating / marinade that imparts a great flovor, spicy or not, that's the chef's signature. No need to select a dozen toppings /fillers. Serving options include a couple scoops of rice or maybe their take on macaroni salad, all in a foam lunch box. They offered what can best be described as a spam roll, as a side. Great with a drizzle of soy sauce. Besides the soy sauce, the condiment kiosk included a dry sesame seed sprinkle and Sriracha sauce. This is basic, delicious. Makes the menu at In-N-Out seem complicated. While there is a ledge to belly up to to eat, best you bag it and take the 1 block walk to the beach and find a wall to relax on to savor this great value and succulent culinary experience.
My girlfriend is from Hawaii and is always looking for good Poke. We came to San Diego for a quick visit and google searched for the best poke. Well, she was impressed (which is not easy). The owner is from Hawaii and you can taste it in the food. Finally, a place she will be excited to eat Poke and other Hawaiian favorites!
