We came on a rainy Friday. Restaurant was a little quiet, and empty. Never judge a book by the cover. We found a gem. Featuring some tasty fresh fish for their bowls. We will return to try their sushi rolls

We came around 8 pm. Never been here before but I've seen it around for a long time. It's tucked in a plaza I don't really drive by often so I never got to try it. Fish portion was really good. The regular size bowl is kinda flat and I feel like I could have used more rice. Overall the fish and topping portions are good, but it's like smushed in a really tiny bowl. Avocado is extra and it looks like a lot in the photo but it was a very tiny avocado thinly sliced, and spread out before they put it on the bowl. The mango sauce was surprisingly really good. One thing that I didn't like though was some bites of yellowtail tasted kinda fishy. I didn't notice this til the end and then i lost my appetite. The salmon is good though. They had dine in tables and everything was pretty clean. However we decided to take it to-go. The lady serving us was very nice.

I can finally confirm this is my favorite poke spot. The owners are incredibly sweet and friendly. She will also give recommendations on sauce combinations that I would have never thought of or chosen and it always turns out so good! I especially love that they have the Korean style mixed grain rice as a base option - way better than the typical brown rice base that other poke places offer. The owner also generously packs the bowls which makes it well worth the money, while other places considerably skimp out on their portions and continue to increase their prices. We have also had their sushi rolls which are equally as good as their bowls. Next to try: their boba drinks!

This is the best poke you can get in the South Bay. I’ve been going here at least once a week for the a year now since it’s 5 mins away from work. The business is family owned and operated by a sweet caring couple. They feel like family to me at this point. Poke Xpress is the best priced in the entire Bay Area and you’ll leave full! They have milk and fruit tea for under $5, and also offer sushi rolls and salad bowls. Their fish is very fresh since they get deliveries every other day. I enjoy getting half sushi rice and half brown rice (it’s Korean mixed rice).They have 3 sizes of bowls and a combo which is a regular bowl and 6pcs of California Roll. I’d recommend getting a regular bowl that comes with 3 scoops of protein. I usually get tuna, salmon, and yellowtail as my choices of protein or you can sub out salmon for spicy salmon (like minced spicy tuna). The standouts for toppings are usually the macaroni salad which is lightly dressed and jalapeños. For dry toppings it’ll be hot Cheetos and fried onions. All of their sauces are made in house and many have tried to ask them for their recipes. Spicy Mayo and Ponzu is a good standard combo, mango sauce is fruity but best as on the side, and wasabi mayo has a crazy kick. The wasabi mayo impressed me because usually at poke joints, they buy premade sauces.A nice thing is that they have a stamp card, for every ten bowls you’ll get a free drink.Always eat at the place if you can, it always tastes better than taking it to go!

Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce.Do not pass this place up!

I like building my own bowl. You can see the list of components, and everything is on display. There are fish/seafood and vegan options. The place is small, nice and clean.

I keep coming back here because they have the most generous servings, reasonable price, and extremely friendly staff. When you don’t want crab salad, they give avocado instead. This is perfect for me since I’m vegan. Every restaurant should offer avocado when you don’t want the meat or cheese or whatever! These guys are leading the way.

I've been here so many times but am barely writing a review. The best, most fresh poke around! They are quick and reliable! Every time I come, I'm super satisfied. The lady working gave me suggestions for my sauces and it's DELICIOUS! Very very happy and will continue coming back!

This place hit the spot! I appeared a little indecisive when I first approached the counter to order but the lady was very good at suggesting the regular bowl (vs large) and helping me along. My bowl was standard sushi rice, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, edamame, Ginger, corn, onions, soy sauce, sesame seed and furikake.Very good poke bowl!
