Hawaiian Poke Bowl, San Leandro

I really wish this location were closer to where I live - I would go here frequently.

I have nothing but good things to say: it's a cozy ambiance w/excellent prices and fresh food.

After visiting here twice, I realized a few things about here vs spots I usually patronize in the South Bay (where I live):

- They actually listen when I request a small amount of rice

- Their selection of proteins is excellent and unique (ex: they offer Tako/octopus)

- They have a good amount of truly naked fish options - I have a garlic and onion allergy, so I can't do dressed fish because the sauces have one or the other. That is not a problem here.

- The biggest pro for me - the toppings! Very few places I've encountered offer tamago (sweet egg omelette). If they do, you are charged extra. Ditto for avocado. Not here - they are included at no charge and they give you a generous amount.

They also have an amazing selection of sauces, but due to the sodium content, I've begun requesting only sesame oil, which to me enhances the flavor anyway.

I've noticed that there is always a good amount of people on line and they move efficiently when serving. I wish them continued success!

Vibes: The young employees were very kind. I sparked up a conversation with them and they were open to talk. We laughed about what kind of Asian I'd been mistaken for, even though I wasn't Asian at all. They were pretty cool!

Food:
The portions are so worth the price! I was honestly surprised by how much you get, regardless of the size you purchase. They're very generous. I wish I'd taken a picture, but I ate that s** up, haha. I really want to highlight the crab and shrimp in my bowl, simply because they were super fresh even right before closing hours. I took it as a good sign that this establishment keeps all their ingredients fresh all day long.

Now remember, I did go right before closing hours, so I'd like to apologize for being THAT customer. I just really wanted poke, and y'all delivered.

Honestly I LOVE coming here. I feel like the give you so much fish and toppings for the price of the bowl. Definitely worth it. The people working are also very nice and patient, as i always contemplate what sauces I should get lol.

Today specifically, I wanted only fish! The person who helped me was able to let me know how much before I committed. I got 5 scoops of protein with green onions and sauce for $14! Super yummy and refreshing.

My friend and I sat inside it eat. It's pretty lowkey spot and clean! No complaints(:

This Hawaiian Poke is located in the Floresta Plaza. This plaza may get pretty busy, especially during peak gym hours, as they are right by the gym - along with many shops, restaurants, and other businesses here as well. Parking is hit or miss, but if you park further away, then it should be fine. Service is horrible here - the employee who 'helped' me was not the most helpful or professional with a lack of basic customer service skills.

I wanted to order a sushi burrito with white rice, salmon, regular crab, seaweed salad, avocado, and masago. I originally wanted the avocado and the sauce on the side - for the avocado, they could not accommodate this simple request, so it was fine inside the burrito and the for the sauce, they charge extra for it to be on the side, so I asked for no sauce.

The employee told me that they do not have avocado right now and I asked if they could give me a little extra of another ingredient instead then, but she declined. I told her basically that, if they are out of something, they should substitute because I am paying for it, which she responded in a rude way with that it does not work like that or something along those lines. I ended up telling her, if that is the case, I did not want it anymore, which she responded with that was fine with her, so I left.

Honestly, their salmon and some of their other ingredients are not the freshest here, especially at their price point. Their cleanliness and sanitary practices are also questionable, as they cross-contaminate the different ingredients, especially when they are making sushi burritos - they have on the same gloves to touch everything, make the burrito, as well as dip their gloved hands in the ingredient containers to scoop up some of it in their hands instead of using the appropriate serving utensils. They do this to several different ingredients they need without changing gloves and then continue making the burrito.

I only came here because of the convenience and not a lot of spots sell sushi burritos in the area. Honestly, their salmon is not the freshest. Overall, this spot cares more about money than the satisfaction / service of their customers and their employees rather debate with their paying customers rather than accommodate / help them. I ended up going to their other location in Dublin afterwards and they accommodated me with everything I asked for, and the employee who helped me at the other location was friendly and helpful, unlike the employee at this particular location.

I wanted sushi. Then decided on a poke bowl. Checked out Yelp for recommendations. Ended up here. I came in the evening. Lucked up on a park right in front. The parking lot is huge so you will always find a spot. You may not find a park steps from the entrance because the lot is shared with a gym, clothing store and other restaurants.
Upon entry I saw advertisements for a sushi burrito. I was sold!
I got salmon as my protein. It was absolutely incredible.
Definitely 5 star worthy. I had to knock off a star because they ran out of avocado (which comes with the burrito, it's not extra). They charged me for a side wasabi and ginger ($0.83). As a business, they should've given that to me on the house due to my purchase being short the avocado.
The place is clean and there is plenty of seating.

Whoa, we lived here for so many years and I'm shocked this was the first time we came here! We're always hesitant to eat at poke spots now given the super steep pricing and small quantity. This place makes sure you get bang for your buck and the flavors are amazing! The line moves super fast, the girls are really efficient at what they do. We got the medium bowl which comes with 3 scoops for ~$14.50 with ahi tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon. It also comes with a scoop of mixed crab dip. Honestly for the portions, it's so worth it. We struggled to finish our bowl and saved some as leftovers!

The toppings are plentiful and diverse, I got most of it and wanted more but the bowl was overfilling. Love the white rice they use as well. They also have other hot items you can order, which we'll try next time! Overall we love this spot and will come back as regulars soon!

Over the last 6 months my daughter and I have been here dozens of times. She always gets the medium bowl with sushi rice and 3 scoops of sake (salmon) with the spicy crab, masago, green onions, edamame, and crispy noodles with the spicy mayo sauce. Great flavor and everything is fresh. The salmon is always fresh.

The service is always friendly and fast. Interior always clean.

You can't go wrong with this place!!! Reasonable prices too!!!

Big poke salad but missing a lot of important poke bowl ingredients such as: edamame, corn, spicy mayo, carrots, etc. the place was empty during lunch with 1 other person besides me. A few pick ups came through but wasn't too busy. The roll was standard nothing special. The ambiance isn't bad but it's older. Maybe with more customers, it might be better. May come back to try the other items since it's not busy for lunch.

Lots of toppings and proteins, all very fresh. Total came out to 15.99 after tax for a medium, which is big enough for two.

This place changed for the worst... I used to love this place and have been coming here quite often. It's been about a few months since my last visit and it was almost gross. The salmon quality tasted like it was raw salmon from Safeway or Costco, far from sushi grade. The salad was well past its best by date as some pieces were wilted. To make things worse, I had little to no sauce. The salad was completely dry and the fish was bare. I had to throw away most of the bowl because it was not edible. I once raved about this place when they first opened but I will no longer come back.
