I've been by multiple times now. It's like a burrito bar but with fish and rice. The combinations available were unfamiliar on my first visit, so I was uncertain where to start. No need to worry. There is a "menu" that acts as a starting point for the uncertain. Everything on the "menu" makes an excellent, flavorful and textured, meal. I love that there is no one perfect bite in any given bowl. Every bite is a unique combination of ingredients which keeps it interesting from first to last bite.
I've been to Seaside Poke twice now. Once when they were just a pop up shop and recently at their established brick and mortar. I only have positive things to say about this place. From the quality of the food, the endless options of toppings, and the atmosphere. These guys went the extra mile to add texture to their food. Texture!! I know a lot of poke shops are popping up around our city but this place is truly, one of a kind! After a while it's easy for the all the poke bowls to blend in together in terms of taste but not Seaside. Their brilliant thought process to incorporate only the freshest ingredients and unique toppings really sets their poke bowls apart from the rest. Side note but one of their owners, Anh Tai, is such a humble and kind guy. Chat with him if you get he chance and let him guide you through building your bowl!
Seaside poke was very delicious! They had a lot of good vegetable options for the poke and their shoyu sauce was incredible. Prices were pretty standard for poke and the quality of the dish was really nice! They had options for different oils to add to the sauce, which was new to me, but definitely tasty.
Parking is available, but paid.
I won't say I've tried a lot of poke places, maybe like 3, but hands down this is th best out of the 3 I've tried. Great variety of items, I got half a ice half salad. Spicy tuna spicy aioli sauce and hot chili oil on top and sweet shoyu for a spicy and sweet mix. Very fresh and delicious on a hot summer day. My daughter's had their own custom bowls as well. Very clean place. We would return.
The freshest and most unique ingredients. I usually get a variation of their salmon ponzu which hits every single time. Clean and refreshing, love this location and their understory one. Get their house brewed sweet tea or lemonade tea or home made Rice Krispies too! Owners are down to earth friendly people and staff is always helpful.
Fresh, yummy and well balanced bowls. I popped in for lunch and the team was very helpful and nice. Looks of great options and prices are inline with most poke shops, but I felt the fish was a bit more fresh and the bowl was better thought out (I went with one of their recipes).
They also have a simple card to order from if you wanted to crest your own so you are not overwhelmed. It was very clean and parking was ample.
The first time coming to seaside was quick and enjoyable. I ordered the Kani Bake with fried onions and I kind of skimped myself on the topping because I thought it was price per topping but it’s basically a set price for the small bowl 12+ tax and it is definitely filling. Next time I will order the spicy tuna I keep seeing and hearing about lol.
The workers are very nice, food was easy to order and service was quick. We parked across the street and got our bowls within 15 minutes. I'd recommend getting all the toppings, but masago is $.50 extra as of today even though it's not listed that way.
THE essential poke spot in Houston. No one does it better. Fresh, high-quality ingredients; inventive menu items, and great variety. Highly recommend. No gift cards sadly and they lost credit I put on a friend’s account.
This is a close spot that's about a 10 min walk from the convention center. If you don't mind walking instead of waiting in a long line, I prefer the latter. The ingredients are all so fresh and the rice was perfectly cooked! It's so hard to find well made rice. You can build your own bowl or choose from their special list. Their ice cream sandwich was pleasantly sweet and so different from others.
The staff were kind in helping us with our order and giving recommendations.
Excellent customer service and delicious poke! Best I’ve had in Houston! Also, if you offer Thai chilis you will own my heart! But the crispy spam musubi stole the show! And please sod the skip on the ube and pandan Rice Krispie, genius!
My first time surely isn't my last time. The quality of the food was well taken care of. The employee was very knowledgeable about the menu items thanks to having eaten all of them. I ultimately chose to add on a few things to a ready made bowl. I recommend trying orange with salmon more. The orange just creates a sweetness that unexpected goes well with raw seafood. Thank you for the cleanliness and extra steps provided to keep safe during a time of uncertainty with COViD. Over all this is a wonderful poke place.
