Pokemoto Petaluma — Restaurant in Petaluma

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pokemoto, and I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience! From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I was greeted with a warm smiles.

now, let’s talk about the food, because it HIT. it was absolutely delicious. The freshness of the ingredients was evident; the fish was impeccably sliced, and the vegetables were crisp. I ordered a poke bowl, and I can honestly say I devoured every part of it! The combination of textures and tastes was nothing short of magical, leaving me soooo full. And i got the regular bowl.

A special shoutout goes to Elmer, the wonderful man who assisted us during our visit. His knowledge of the menu and recommendations were fantastic too! Elmer’s enthusiasm for the food was contagious, and his attention to detail made my friend and i feel truly valued as customers. It was also my first time and he was super honest and patient.

I highly recommend paying them a visit. I can’t wait to return for another round of their...

Support this local business owner! I met the owner Elmer completely by chance. Number one he is a genuinely good person. Elmer made the invitation to come to Pokemoto and I honestly couldn’t drive here fast enough, ( fyi I’m a sucker for a poke bowl). I was greeted by the staff there with a smile and they even took the time to explain to me all of the options that were available. There are a lot by the way! At last I get to sit down to and eat. The fish is super fresh, the sauces are flavorful, and the crunchy bits really set this whole thing off. I am a foodie through and through even if the food is mediocre, I’m happy. However, Pokemoto was not good. It was excellent. My experience was that the service was top-notch. The food was super fresh. The storefront is extremely clean and I will tell you as a poke connoisseur that this place has made it into my regular rotation of local businesses that I will...

I have tried this place twice now, once in store and once via delivery, and have found it underwhelming in portion size. I suspected in the first time, but had no real way of measurement, today I ordered delivery and suspected it instantly so I pulled out my scale and picked out each "portion" of my "3 portion" meal. It was 2 parts salmon and one part tuna. The salmon weighed in at 46g and 56g while the tuna weighed in at 82g, and that was with other bits and pieces stuck on. Assuming the "one portion" of tuna has the control, this means they just did a little more than one portion of salmon. Vegetables were also used sparingly. I love the healthy raw veggies you can get with a poke bowl, and I think I can count 10 edamame in total. Plenty of rice tho 😒. Really not worth $20, let alone the extra $$ for what is a globby...
