food is fine but AVOID THE DUDE AT ALL COSTS! been here a few times and the young woman who works there is usually fine, but this last time a new dude was working and the dude hella short changes you on the protein scoops like you stealing his lunch or sumthin! the scoopers they use are already small as it is, and the homie doesn't even fill the damn scoop! i asked him about it to give him a chance to fix it, and he refused! at $18+ dollars each you NEVER get your money's worth with this guy.

Pretty good poke bowls. The staff here was nice. The restaurant was pretty clean. Good place for lunch.

Good poke, but they lack service. Store seems slow and workers uninspired. Their store is also not the cleanest, which is something I especially look at when eating at a restaurant that primarily serves raw items. But their poke does have good flavor.

This is one of my favorite poké places in the east bay! I've been here a handful of times and I've enjoyed my food every visit! I like how they have an ordering kiosk to place your order instead of ordering w/ someone and telling them each ingredient to put into your box down the line. The kiosk makes it so much easier and is also perfect for introverts like myself! The fish here always tastes fresh and they have a nice variety to choose from. They also have different base options that not many other poké places have, like the citrus kale and kelp noodles. Their portion sizes are also decent and are the perfect size for me. My go-to sauce combo is the spicy ono and signature medium -- I'm pretty sensitive to spice and this yummy combo is the perfect amount for me. Highly recommend this place to fulfill your poké cravings!

The portion of fish is a little less compared to other poke places. The sauce is a bit too salty. Other then that, great service and atmosphere!

Fantastic selection and quality of ingredients. Loved choosing 3 bases (kelp noodles were awesome and enjoyed the citrus kale and mixed greens), 4 proteins, and the delicious sides included with the regular poke bowl/box. Generous portions and good value! I had enough for leftovers but the box gets soggy (love that it's compostable though) so transfer into a leak-proof container before refrigerating. ;)

Located next door to a school of rock and in the same parking lot as a whole foods, getting parking was really easy. I actually parked right in front of the restaurant, which also gave me a great view into the school of rock. Kids. Practicing some song..I feel like I know it but I don't know the name. I couldn't actually hear it. Even when I went into the restaurant though they were right next door, I couldn't hear it. If I didn't have rehearsal that day, I probably would have stayed to eat my food but I got a poke bowl, spam musubi and a strawberry lemonade to go. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food is very fresh, the guy who took my order was very quick and also helped me a lot. Lot. I never been to this place before, and was honestly a bit starved as I hadn't eaten all day. I got a lot of things in my bowl and when I got to rehearsal to eat everything it was almost as if I hadn't left the restaurant. Everything was delicious!Dietary restrictions: As someone who was lactose intolerant, I find that poke spots are the best thing for me to eat. I never have to worry about their being an unknown item with cheese in it. If anything, this is the best place for a person with dietary restrictions.Parking: Because this parking lot is shared between a whole foods and a school of rock, there's probably a lot of times where there won't be that much parking. I went on at 8:00 p.m. on a Monday and I was able to park right in front of the restaurant, but I can imagine when the school is just dropping off kids or when the establishment on the other side is open that the parking is a little bit more rough.

Yum, lots of choices and fast service. Take out atmosphere, although there are a few tables.

Definitely delicious poke but a little salty. I just wish portion sizes were a bit bigger. Cute decor and nice staff.
I visited this pokeatery after frequenting their other location in Castro Valley (which seems to have closed down as of September 2023). I loved the CV location. Pokeatery gets the most important thing right; the fish is fresh. I stacked my poke bowl with Hamachi, Salmon, and Tuna. Hamachi was my favorite because of good texture and buttery but not fishy flavor. Salmon was second fav, tuna third but still good. Bc Tuna was a little fishy. Portions were a little small especially for the price, but can't complain. Will return

SO GOOD! This is our go to Poke spot in Walnut Creek. Always fresh and delicious. It's a bit pricey but the bowls are generous portions.

This is a good place for a quick poke fix! The amount you're paying for the build your own box ($19-$20) is a bit overpriced for the amount of protein you're getting. I did an add-on of avocado, and I thought I would be receiving at least half of an avocado, instead I received a Ferrero Rocher sized ball of avocado. The poke itself was fresh and tasty, but I would've liked a little bit more of a portion! Ordered miso soup as a side and that had no flavor. Not there for the soup, but it needs a little help.
