Fish & Things Poke Bar — Restaurant in San Jose

If it ain’t Fish and Things then why are we going? The menu items have a huge variety, and something for everyone, even the ones that don’t eat enjoy raw fish. They offer an extra scoop of protein than you normally see with the large size being 5 scoops of protein instead of the usual 4. They offer more protein variety, than I’ve seen at any neighboring poke spot with some amazing marinated choices. The cooked salmon tacos are my go to, but the sushi tacos are a great choice as well. The poke bowls are sinful with numerous topping options, a crazy amount of sauces to chose from and fresh produce that tastes like it’s just been chopped. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and well lit and when you walk in you notice the posh feel. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the fish is immaculately displayed. They have a nice point system that takes money off your purchase after so many points which is nice especially if you go the way I do. They have some bottled drinks at the front but I’ve never purchased drinks there. The price is fair, the poke bowls are a couple dollars more expensive than the neighboring poke restaurants but you get an extra scoop of protein as I mentioned. I recommend this place to all the sushi lovers, the cooked fish lovers, the I just want tacos and I want sushi so I’m gonna eat sushi tacos people. The I really could use a cooked salmon burger folks, come on down you’ll...

As I began placing my order, she informed me that they do not take "Build Your Own Bowl" orders over the phone. This could have been communicated clearly from the beginning by simply asking if I was planning to build my own bowl, rather than responding with a confusing tone.

She explained that the reason they don’t take these orders by phone is because they “often mess them up.” Honestly, that sounds like a poor excuse. If mistakes are common, perhaps more staff training is needed instead of limiting customer...

As a regular traveler to the Hawaiian islands, I can be picky when it comes to my poke. That’s why this is now my go to spot for the freshest traditional poke in the Bay Area. However they also have some other very unique items on the menu I recommend exploring! They have a great open, airy, sunny space for dining both inside and outside. They also do a fabulous job of packaging some of my favorites to go. The staff they hire are all super smiley and friendly. This must be a credit to ownership/management. It starts with the staff and when they are happy that definitely translates to the customer experience as well. See you guys again very...
