Fish & Things Poke Bar San Jose

When i went and ordered a regular bowl with brown rice, the rice was not cooked properly, It was cold and hard. Im worried about the rice being undercooked, I hope I don’t get food poisoning or a stomachache from this. I am disappointed I paid nearly $20 for this. The only reason why I gave a two stars is because I ate here a few times in the past and it was fine, but this restaurant needs to stay consistent when it comes to the quality of their foods, they need to reassess the quality of their foods first before serving it to customers as this is a matter of food safety violations.

Great food, i love the poki bowls. Fish cube are fresh sauce good.

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 love this place.

My favorite local Poke spot with the freshest Poke and Greta service. Love mixing my rice with the zucchini noodles!

Yesterday, I picked up three large takeout containers, but after my wife started feeling stomach pain, I sniffed the food and realized that the fish had gone bad and smelled rotten. Later, my stomach started hurting too; I have a less sensitive stomach than my wife, so I just ended up with diarrhea. My wife spent the entire evening in bed with food poisoning and vomiting. I'm not giving one star as I don't want to ruin your rating, but I hope my story will help you address the issue with food freshness.

Great food! Found this spot from an IG foodie person... Definitely worth a try. Great customer service, clean indoor dining. We had the sushi, sushi tacos, and the carpaccio. Everything was super fresh. They even have fun Halloween decorations up right now. T Meet the owner, she was super nice, I think her name was Pauline or Paulina. Also, I grew up in Sacramento area, so excited to tell my family in Sac area to go to the Elk grove location. Can't wait to go back and try more items on their menu. Oh yea and if you wanna watch some TV or Sunday football, they have a big screen TV, eye level.

Passed by the south SJ area, saw the place was rated 4.8 as a poke bar, ordered a regular bowl with two salmon and 1 mixed tuna and salmon and an unagi bowl. Unfortunately, the fish was not as fresh as the other poke bars in the SJ area, also the flavor wasn’t really there. The unagi bowl was decent proportion but with too much rice and not enough fish or sides to eat together. I really had high expectations when I saw the 4.8 rating…but I guess it was an one and done deal.

I love poke so I've tried a lot of places, and this was definitely some of the best poke I've ever eaten!! I got the build your own bowl, and everything was delicious :) I unknowingly ordered octopus (wasn't wearing my glasses lol) and it was really tender in comparison to octopus I've tried in the past!! Staff was friendly and the shop itself is super cute ☺️ Loved it, 10/10!! Dietary restrictions: The make your own poke has all the ingredients separated and it's totally customizable! I can't speak to how safe it is for people with allergies (cross contamination is always a risk) but I have a lot of intolerances and sensitivities and this was perfect for my sensitive stomach!!

Had the best bowl today at this place. 1st timer. So glad I gave it a try.
