Near Gate B in Terminal B, Hawaiian Poke Bowl covers the poke craving
This spot sits airside in Terminal B, an easy walk from most Southwest and Alaska gates. It runs through typical daytime hours tied to flight banks, so expect it open for early lunch and dinner, but not a 5 a.m. breakfast. Seating is limited, so plan on taking your bowl back toward your B-gate if the few counter stools are full.
Expect fast-casual pricing: a regular poke bowl usually lands in the low-to-mid teens, depending on how many proteins you add. Portions lean more “airport standard” than huge, so a hungry traveler might want a larger size or extra toppings for a longer haul flight out of SJC. Card payments dominate here; don’t count on using cash at this Terminal B venue.
The core draw is build-your-own poke with typical proteins like ahi tuna, salmon, and tofu, plus rice or salad bases. You can mix sauces and toppings like seaweed salad, edamame, and masago, which gives more customization than most generic Terminal B fast food counters. For a quick, lighter option before a short hop down to LAX or SAN, a single-protein bowl with salad base works well.
There’s usually a bit of a line during the 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. rush when multiple Southwest departures board from nearby B gates. Turnaround is still quicker than a full-service sit-down in Terminal B, but slower than grabbing pre-made sandwiches. If your flight boards in 30 minutes, order a simpler combo instead of a fully customized bowl.
Tip: check your gate first; if you’re out of the higher B20s, build in at least 10 minutes to walk from Hawaiian Poke Bowl back to boarding so you’re not speed-walking through SJC with a sauce-heavy takeout bag.
