Poke House - Palo Alto

"They have decent choices. Corn, mango and pineapple etc."

"Poke house is the chipotle of poke bowl, which means you make your own poke bowl by picking and choosing all the ingredients. It is located in a strip mall, and parking can be somewhat tricky. Some parking spots are 20-30 minute parking spots, so please pay attention to the signs. otherwise, you will get a parking ticket if you overstay your parking. They have 3 different bowl options- small, medium, and large. My friend and I, we both got the small bowl and found it very filling. You basically pick 5 different things for your bowl- 1. Base 2. Protein 3. Mix-ins 4. Toppings 5. Sauce Each bowl also comes with a free scoop of crab salad so don't forget to try that out. For base, you can pick between sushi rice, spring mixed greens, zucchini noodles, or brown rice. Under proteins, you have 8 different options - ahi tuna, scottish salmon, spicy tuna, octopus, shrimp, tofu, and spicy miso salmon. You can pick multiple sauces for your poke bowl. You have multiple sauce options- house shoyu, lime ponzu, miso aioli, sweet unagi, sriracha aioli, garlic soy vinaigrette, and house chili. For mix-ins, you have corn, cucumber, edamame, green onions, grape tomato, hijiki seaweed, jalapaneo, mango, masago, pineapple, purple cabbage and sweet onion. You can add multiple mix-ins to your bowl. There is no limit. And lastly for your toppings, you've got crispy onion, furikake, nori strips, ogo seaweed, pickled ginger, seasame seeds, sliced almonds, togarashi, wasabi, avocado (+$2.50) and seaweed salad (+$2.00). The place wasn't busy when we went there and the service was fast. The ingredients were fresh. If you don't like making your own bowl, then they also have some signature bowls that you can pick from. I would say it is just a little pricy but a decent poke place."

"Solid choice for poke bowls. Generous portions, fresh ingredients. Easy online ordering, but they forgot some items in my last order. Also, no idea why a side of miso soup is $4. Would still recommend though as a good choice when you want something light and healthy."

"Delicious poke bowls and very large portion sizes which I did appreciate. Fresh seafood and a wide variety of toppings make for a great texture variety. Ordered off of Uber eats and their order printer was down so our order didn’t start to get processed for quite some time until they spotted us waiting and standing for 15 minutes. Once they started making the orders, it took them another 10 minutes to finish wrapping up the execution of the order but I would have appreciated a little bit more of a service recovery gesture for the delay. Staff was nice enough and the food was tasty."
