I'a Poke

I lived in San Francisco for four years until this summer. Are used to eat here at least once a week. It is a phenomenal poke spot. If you’re in the area, I think this will meet your expectations. They have really fresh and quality ingredients. The pilot on. I really like that. And, they have a lot of topics and no extra charge. Today, I’ve waited inside as a guy built my bowl. He was a really nice guy and very conversational. The people here are warm and friendly. I love this place so much that following a running accident coming down 18th St., in Castro, a friend in New York, called in a poke bowl from here and had it sent to me.

I have eaten a lot of poke. I have tried most of the poke places in SF. This one is probably the best. Definitely top 3. Their marinated tuna is incredibly flavorful and their marinated salmon, while not quite as great as the tuna in my opinion, is delightfully unique and absolutely worth trying. It's a small accessible shop with a fair amount of nearby street parking available. The person working was very good at their job and the service was excellent. They were able to take my order and communicate all of the options to me, while assembling another poke bowl for a separate order. This is a physically small poke spot that has big flavors, great service, and fair prices in a good location.

Loved this each time I’ve had it. Noticed that the last time I picked up a bowl, the container was no longer the same. Harder to eat from the white small container and feels like portion size went smaller (just a hunch because I definitely felt full AF prev which wasn’t the case this last time. Maybe I’m making it up tho)

Dainty and cutesy little poke bar with limited counter seating. I'a has very fresh tunas and one of the better marinades in the city. They also have a small variety of other proteins if tuna isn't your jam. Quite affordable for its location. I would recommend against adding avocado if you're making your own bowl— extra $1 for a quarter, which also count as a topping itself for the small bowl might be a little steep for some.
