Poke star sushi — Restaurant in San Leandro

First off - they only have take out. This is fine but this should be advertised. It says Dine-in right here on Google. We took two cars out here so everyone could fit in our party and then had to drive all the way back home to eat it. If we had known there was no seating inside we could have just had someone pick up the food and all the kids playing at home instead of dragging everyone over there and back for nothing.

As someone else mentioned the ambiance is lacking. It’s pretty messy and has tons of boxes and stuff. The service is fine. It’s hard to tell since they just take your order make it and hand it to you but it was fine.

We ordered: Wow roll, Basil salmon roll, Oakland A’s tray (spicy tuna roll, crunchy shrimp roll and California roll), Dragon roll and a salmon lover poke bowl.

My favorites were the crunchy shrimp roll and the Dragon roll. I think we all liked the dragon roll the best. The sushi was good and presented nicely. I am guessing if the service was good and we could have sat down we might give it a 5 but it’s not the same when you don’t have the little ramekins to mix your wasabi and soy sauce in to dip your sushi in.

I would come again but I would just send one car instead of two and pick it up. Then I would bring ramekins to my mom’s since she...

It was a little confusing how to order. I just grabbed a set bowl they had. I'm not picky about food and I enjoyed every bite.

I do wish the space was cleaner. As a business owner I didn't always have the cleanest spaces and I recognize that in hindsight and this is kind of the thing that even if you didn't want to dine in, sticks out like a sore thumb

That's why often I take photos of my reciept and the bathroom of spaces for my reviews.

Poke for thought.

I would come back but understanding that they probably don't have the freshes and best cuts but in a pinch it satisfies my...

I drove by today and got super excited to get poke for lunch… until I walked in the door. There was a strong odor of old fish, and the entire dining area was covered in boxes and trash. I could handle the mess, but I’m not going to risk eating raw fish that is old enough to give off an odor. I turned around and went right back out the door. Maybe their food is actually pretty good (based on prior ratings), but I wasn’t going to risk it. They had doordash and post mates signs, so I’m guessing a lot of their business...
