pokedon — Restaurant in San Diego

I've only ordered takeout from here, and never ordered in-house, but I can say that the service here is pretty fast and the staff is nice and pretty chill! I've tried both the Seoul bowl (when I want something spicy) and the Tokyo bowl (when I want something more mild) and love, love, love both of them (can't wait to try more!) My mom ADORES their TJ bowl (which is medium spicy!) We eat here when we have doubts about what we want for dinner, so you can safely say it'll never fail you! Get the 1/3 pound bowl of you want a good-sized meal, but of you're a voracious eater or are famished, get the 1/2 pound bowl. You won't be disappointed! I also appreciate that if you don't want to order a pre-formatted bowl, you can build your own. Ordering online is easy! Tip: when you do it through Clover, you get points; however the options to create your own bowl and ordering a pre-formatted bowl are kinda mashed together, so if you picked a pre-formatted bowl, don't add any toppings that weren't included in it. One of the staff members kindly pointed this out to me when I made this mistake, and they did their best to make the modifications I wanted. If you order through Google (Postmates) and not Clover, this issue isn't present. Overall,...

Pokedon in San Diego's College Area is now open!! This little poke shop is all good vibes. The owner, a chef himself, Dennis, knows how to do poke right!!

This place is newly re-opened on the scene, but already, it's a place where "regulars" come to eat designer poke and just hang out!

There's indoor and outdoor seating here. It's comfy, fun - with boardgames - and the sky - or ocean - is the limit!

Design your own poke with white or brown rice, or any choice of greens to a salad! Pick your protein, tofu, tuna, salmon, or whatever your poke-lovin' heart desires.

We had a design-it-yourself salmon and white rice, and organic spring mix salad with ahi tuna poke, as well as a veggie poke.

I loved my tuna salad poke. The flavors were fresh and vibrant. The tuna was of the primest quality, the salad was a perfect balance and my add-ons, like edamame, lemongrass and the standout aloha sauce made a perfect, flavorful bowl.

The kitchen sits in the heart of this restaurant, with clear panes, all the prep work visible, as it always is in the best of kitchens.

I love this place, best poke...

My girlfriend and I have been on a bit of a poke spree lately. We've been ordering it a few times a week from a different place each time. I can easily say pokedon's Maui bowl is the worst dish we have found in San Diego. It tastes like grocery store chicken salad, complete with old protein and way too much mayo to taste much of anything else. Thinking something must just be wrong with our order, we tried to call them but struggled to locate a phone number. There isn't one on Google or as far as we could tell, the mobile website. We finally found one listed on I think grub hub and it was To some random guy named Dennis with no mention of the restaurant in the voicemail. Seems like they don't want irate customers calling.

I almost think their positive reviews must be fake, or the reviewers have never had poke before so they don't know what it's supposed to taste like. No one could mistake this...
