    Loved the outdoor seating and interior decor. Very welcoming. It was my first time at killer poke and I ordered a custom cup with Ahi tuna. The sauce choices were amazing. Will be coming back (:

    I am a huge fan of poke bowls! I love the fact that you can build your own, and get as much toppings and sauce you want. The ingredients are extremely fresh. Location is good too since there is street parking. I will definitely be back.

    Just so you know, I’m always honest with reviews! Hush! Flow and go to Killer Poke! They been around for years, but to me they were still new. I flew by a few times, always said “man I got try them!” Even tried one time but I missed ‘em. The time wasn’t right, but it worked out just fine! I met a cool guy. He’s in AZ, his name is Randy. He saw something in me, man. Decided to lend a hand. Sent me money for lunch with Apple Pay. Yeah, he got poke that day! Had to pay it forward. Always moving to the right. Leave negative energy behind! Knew exactly where I wanted to go when the craving wouldn’t go away. And I gotta say… it was a great day! And I don’t even own an AK! Yet… These brothers were a ray of sunshine in a hot, baked, dry and dusty place! Yuh, it’s Don Cavatti! Soon to be the owner of a more heavenly body, And your divine cuisine is helping me achieve my dream! Aiight, y’all got better things to do than read this review. Keep positively progressing! And get some Killer Poke in you too, foo! Hahaha, I’m a weird dude, but I wear it with pride. Go inside, and enjoy! C’mon, that deserves a Customer Bowl of the Week, right? Ha! See you soon, dudes! 💪😎👍

    The food is amazingly fresh. There are a ton of quality choices for the bowl ingredients. And the staff is exceptional. Best poke I've had in OR even out of town. You'll definitely want to keep coming back.

    My favorite lunch spot! The bowls are so customizable that you can always get exactly what you want. Fresh ingredients and great service too.

    Fantastic food, and awesome staff. Everything there was delicious and filling. Super happy to find a Poke place I'd like to return to after Salt Water Poke closed down.

    Friendly staff and restaurant design was cool. Nice views and outdoor area, parking not bad either. Poke choices were great, add ons and combos were endless.

    A GREAT lunch for the price. And with online ordering and carside service, I have my meal in no time flat. I have ben there multiple times but i have not eaten inside, so i cannot comment on the interior, but their outside dining is really nice as long as it's not too hot. So the food. It is Phenomenal at that price point. It is not the best bowl or salad I've ever had, but it is very, very good and the cheapest I've had in town. The fact that the online ordering system is set up to allow you to fully customize it just the way you want is such a big perk for me. i just hate trying to fight busy signals to get a call through to the places that are so busy around lunchtime. they have some great fusion tacos, but my favorite, as you've probably guessed, is the poké bowl. you get three proteins from a good-sized list of both raw and cooked options. and then you can choose all your other options, including sauce/dressing. want it more filling? get it with rice. want it healthier? get it with spring greens instead of rice. Only get exactly what you want on it for less than $16 at time of writing.

    Outstanding poke! We picked up two of the poke cups passing through town, and were wildly impressed with the quality of the fish and general composition of our order. 10 out of 10, would order again!

    Staff was awesome during a lunch rush and worker gladly took his time to help me pick out what I wanted as it was my first time. Definitely going back for the food and service.

  • 5/5 Dee W. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was good, the food was amazing, and the vibe was chill. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves poke.

    Truck broke down in Bakersfield and my motel was within walking distance from Killer Poke. It's a small spot with a big welcoming charm to it. The fellas that were there were friendly and greeted every guest, they quickly worked through the orders and all the while had a smile on their faces. I ordered a poke bowl with spring mix as my base with spicy tuna, salmon, and cooked salmon for the protein. I also had them include seaweed, green onions, misago eggs, white ginger, and their spicy suace it was delicious. My only two complaints are that the: 1) I should have oreder two bowls 2) why isn't there one in my hometown.

    The best poke restaurant that I've been to in Bakersfield by far. Service was great. I could actually hear the employee behind the glass 👍👍. The raw fish was not fishy at all which is something I've never experienced trying poke here in Bakersfield. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty! You pay extra for avocado but they give you the entire thing not just a 1/4th or 1/2 of it. The place was clean and cool🌡️inside. The food was definitely worth the price and I'm so glad I went!

    This is the best poke I have ever had. And I’ve had poke all over. It’s fresh, tasty and the variety is sure to please every palate. First time there and Garrett made it memorable. He didn’t just take my order. He walked me through the options and gave his opinion with attention and genuine concern. Highly recommend. Will return for certain.

    This was my first time trying poke. It was so good I went back the next week. The bar has been set high for my next poke. Good portions and fair price.

  • 5/5 Alma S. 4 years ago on Google
    I have never tried poke but the staff was very polite and patient! They explained what sort of combinations to try and what they would potentially taste like so even if I never tried it, what I selected was tasty! The ingredients are very fresh and have a big variety. Would go back again!

  • 5/5 Brianne D. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Their food is so fresh and the atmosphere is great. Great customer service as well. I also like that they offer smaller portions. I took my dad, who has never eaten poke, here and he is now obsessed.

  • 5/5 Rob E. 4 years ago on Google
    I had never tried a Poke bowl before. I wanted something a little lighter and healthier than some Mexican food. I found this place just scrolling through restaurants here on Google Maps - and I was drawn in by the high ratings they've received. After eating here, I can see why. The food is very fresh and very good. I ordered a bowl with Ahi, Spicy Tuna, and Shrimp. I was pleasantly surprised that I could choose as many toppings as I wanted. Great place! I highly recommend Killer Poke.

    Nice place to fill your poke craving. Food is fresh and the place is clean. You have lots of street parking and seating inside and outside. It is a little pricey but you get a good amount of food and it is very flavorful.

  • 5/5 Jasmin J. 4 years ago on Google
    To me, the best poke bowls out here. There's not many place out her but it beats the others. I moved here a little over a year ago and I was in dire need of a poke bowl spot. You don't notice this place right off the back but aren't most of the best spots like this? Lol. The staff are very nice and it's the perfect for lunch. Their spicy crab and spicy masago are delicious, I had to get a double scoop of both in my ahi tuna poke bowl with mixed greens. Emoji rating= 🤤🤤🤤🤤
