Legitimately the best poke bowl Ive had from Hawaii to New York.As of today, for $21.95 you get 4 large scoops of protein plus 3 sides which can also be protein like spicy tuna or avocado or mac salad.All of the sauces are gluten free and made with tamari!Only a couple items werent gluten free, such as the fish eggs.I felt like I was waddling out of this place it was so filling the entire day. I absolutely will be back!PS: the dont take cash so make sure you have a card.

The award for best poke bowl speaks for itself, coming from a huge Poke connoisseur, this joint is by far the best poke I have had. Generous portions, fresh, and incredible toppings that most places dont have. You will not be disappointed.

The poke looked and tasted great but I’m not a huge fan on the burrito sushi concept. The octopus salad and seaweed salad were great. The minus 2 stars is for the presumably bad food coming back up a few hours later. Very unfortunate.

So yummy! Love all of their topping options and that they give you a lot of food. Sometimes poke places skimp on portion size but not this place!

Great place to get a healthy meal. Theyre wraps (pokiritos) are the best.

This is my favorite poke place in san Luis obispo. They have big portions, the small fills me up! The only down side I have is that the spicy tuna isnt spicy...

I just left this restaurant. I am actually a pretty frequent guest here...I have never written a review about this place because, until today, I had never been treated with such WONDERFUL customer service. Fernando was soooo wonderfully kind and went out of his way to make me feel welcome!! He is a gem!!! Thank you, I will keep coming back😊

Parking is ample. Loved that. All the choices were perfect and they totally understood gluten free which is a HUGE plus! And the ginger is naked, no red dye.

Unfortunately I contracted a terrible case of salmonella poisoning from this place. I had ordered it in advance but it was made when I ordered it and likely sat out for hours multiplying the bacteria. Obviously, I won’t be coming back.

Took the family here so the kids could experience a Poke bowl. It was delightful.We found the flavors to be delicious; the meats were fresh and delicate, the veggies clean and crisp, the toppings popping with flavor, all blended well together with tangy sauce (I got the spicy mayo). This was our first experience tasting a Poke bowl in SLO county, so while I dont have another place to compare it to, I can compare it to other delicious foods in general Ive had, and this place stands out among them.The space is a little cramped, but we did easily find seating for four. Cool live edge tables and bar to eat at. And the staff was super patient and helpful with my kids.We all got the small size, which was plenty for all of us. My wife and I finished ours, and were quite satisfied, and the kids were able to save theirs for next days lunch. Great little spot!

Exceptionally friendly staff, delicious food. One of the top poke places in my book now. Everyone I went with exclaimed over how good it was.Large is large!!! Small/medium is about what you expect size wise for things to be from a typical poke place.Thai tea is pretty decent.The Tofu has beens in it. New for me, but a welcome addition.Generous with sauces

Im so excited to have a sushi burrito place in SLO after eating at one in Vegas.I had a wrap that was based on my favorite sushi roll and I was pleased. The ingredients were good and they had everything I wanted. The employees were friendly and the owner, I think, was there engaged with the customers, so thats nice to see.The price was a little higher and the portion smaller than the place I ate in Vegas, but its still cheaper than a sushi bar so Im not complaining.I didnt try it today, but they have Thai tea at the drink fountain, so thats awesome.

Went to pick up several large bowls of poke for the game. Drove across town just for you and guess what? YOU DONT TAKE CASH!!!Well...that was all I had. Are you the only place in town that wont take cash? Too bad. You lost $100 sale and I wasted my time. So much for Plan A.

Best Poke in slo county. Their fish is really fresh, the people are very friendly. I wish they would put a location in Paso Robles!

Just had lunch there for the first time and loved it! For under $13 I got a bowl full of rice, toppings, two proteins, a side, and my beverage. This is a Subway style build your own bowl and wrap place, everything tasted delicious, great value.

I go here whenever I crave sushi. There is a wide variety of proteins, mix-ins, and toppings, which are always fresh, including the fish. For $10, $12, or $14 you can get a small (2 proteins, 1 mix-in), medium (3 proteins and 2 mix-ins), or large (4 proteins and 3 mix-ins). The small is large enough to make you full and maybe have some left over to take home. The drinks they provide are also great, including Thai iced tea, green tea latte, and iced green tea. Id totally recommend you to give this place a try.

The staff here are experts in what they are serving. If you are a first timer to the Poké experience and need a guide, you can walk here solo and get yourself something delicious. I speak from experience. The fish is of excellent quality, and I have never had an issue with the food. The crab is sweet, the tuna fresh, and the toppings crisp. Soy sauce, wasabi, and chopsticks are provided for free and their drink selection covers the Coco-Cola standards as well as four different types of Thai style teas. The store is a little small, but it is never cramped or asking for more space. Its quite homey and comes with a long bar on one side if you happen to be dining alone or with a single other person. There are of course, larger more traditional tables, also. I hope you give this place a try soon!

One time I paid for extra a avocado on an online order and they forgot it, but didnt realize it till I got home. I asked for free avocado next time and they said no. that sucked but also Im not petty and honestly the food is so good I dont even care. employees that work the line are friendly and quick to get you what you want. if you are paying with a card, the machine kind of tricks you into giving a tip so if you dont want to tip you have to manually enter $0.00 as the tip which is kind of weird.

Review №26

2020-02-02 05:17:07

Sub-par experience since one of the fish served tasted like a mouthful of salt water (obvious tell of sushi that has gone bad), which led to a less than pleasant expelling. And pro-tip: selecting different burrito sizes doesnt mean more food as they still serve the same total amount being that the burrito itself isnt enlarged. Yup, not returning

I like Pokirito a lot. I always get the large bowl for the value and it always tastes great and fills me up with some left over. Prices are steadily creeping up which is unfortunate, but you get a bowl free for ever 10 so thats not too bad. Fish is usually of decent quality and their sides are fantastic.

Honestly sad that we don’t have a Pokirito in UT. We were passing through and honestly, best poke I’ve had! Price and portions included. Please open a joint in Utah and my fam will totally keep it in business lol a must go

The guy who helped us was incredibly helpful and friendly. The fish tasted very fresh and everything was delicious. We were just passing through but we will definitely stop here again the next time we are in SLO.

My Yelp review speaks for itself. But in a nutshell, dont go there if youre looking for Hawaiian, which they promote. Our experience with the Teriyaki was poor. It appeared to be reheated frozen chicken drizzled with jarred Teriyaki sauce. It couldve been amazing but it was only OK. The canned pineapple killed the experience. It did appear to be fresh and the sticky rice was good. If I was looking for drive-through, Japanese, Hawaiian, fusion than this wouldve fit the bill. But I wasnt looking for fast, I was looking for quality. Unfortunately Pokirito did not deliver.

Review №31

2018-12-03 02:02:16

Excellent as always. They have octopus salad as a topping right now and its amazing! The employees handled an awful picky and rude customer just before me really well too. 6 stars!

Love this place. Although the pricing continues to go up and up over the years, the portions are generous, staff friendly and theyre rarely too busy...which makes it a convenient pickup.

I went there a couple of days ago and it was so good, it was the first time that I actually like salmon everything was fresh and delicious.

Review №35

2018-11-27 05:59:27

I really enjoy Pokirito. I come often. Its definitely a little on the more expensive side but given how much meat you end up getting its probably more cost effective than a sushi restaurant. I really enjoy the wraps however I find myself getting the bowls more often because its kind of a pain to eat wraps. I feel like they dont use enough seaweed because theres always a strip of rice that isnt covered by the seaweed and thats where the wrap always falls apart. Maybe Im just eating them wrong but every time I get a wrap (medium or large size doesnt seem to matter) the damn thing falls apart at the seams because it doesnt overlap and you end up eating all your meat with chopsticks anyway because its escaped the wrap. Please just use a little more seaweed idk it would improve the experience so much .

Visited a few days ago and had terrible service. I will definitely not return. They were rude and I cant imagine why anyone would go here twice.

2018-11-20 06:09:29

I love this place. You get to make your own sushi creation how you like it, or you can get a hot meat bowl like chicken teriyaki. The customer service is great. I recommend this place to everyone.

The lack of great multicultural cuisine in SLO makes me lower my expectations on most asian restaurants but Pokerito stands out by being a reliable source of good poke bowls.

It was 9:15pm and the employees thought it would be funny to laugh at customers trying to get in before 9:30pm when they close on Saturday night. Extrmemly unprofessional and quite sad for a place of business. Pathetic employees, pathetic customer service.
