Pokeatery — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

Located next door to a school of rock and in the same parking lot as a whole foods, getting parking was really easy. I actually parked right in front of the restaurant, which also gave me a great view into the school of rock. Kids. Practicing some song..I feel like I know it but I don't know the name. I couldn't actually hear it. Even when I went into the restaurant though they were right next door, I couldn't hear it. If I didn't have rehearsal that day, I probably would have stayed to eat my food but I got a poke bowl, spam musubi and a strawberry lemonade to go. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food is very fresh, the guy who took my order was very quick and also helped me a lot. Lot. I never been to this place before, and was honestly a bit starved as I hadn't eaten all day.

First timer at this location but dedicated Poke lover. Establishment was clean and tidy and cute and I loved how their menu is nice and big on the wall behind the counter as it makes it quick and easy to order. Plenty of choices as well to choose from.

Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crab salad ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer service ⭐⭐⭐ The lady helping the family in front of me, super nice, sweet, helpful The guy that helped me, I told him it was my first time at a place like this and he gave me attitude, was short and rude. Example: a couple steps let you pick multiple options. I didn't know this (remember when I said it was my first time). So the guy would just stare at me and then rudely go "...and? What else?" It might be a small gripe and the food was good, but as an introvert and wanting to try new things this whole interaction made me feel uncomfortable and I wanted to leave once we got to the second step out of 6.

TLDR: Food is good. Get the crab salad. Don't know the guys name but his Customer service sucks....
