A new poke eatery has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Called Poke Life, the fresh arrival is located at 815B Washington St. in Old Oakland.

Poke Life's original outpost debuted in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood in 2017. It serves up both signature and customizable poke bowls with seafood options such as salmon, prawns and tuna. The bowls are served with rice, greens and toppings that include wasabi, carrots, corn and more.

There's also musubi — grilled Spam, kimchi or seafood on top of rice wrapped in nori.

Poke Life has garnered positive attention thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp.

Natalie W., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on June 4, wrote, "New poke spot opened up in downtown Oakland! They have your standard toppings like edamame, cucumber, masago, crispy onion, etc. I got the citrus ponzu sauce and it was delicious!"

Intrigued? Stop in to try a poke bowl yourself. Poke Life is open for lunch from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. on weekdays. (It's closed on weekends.)
