There was no line when we got there. The service was quick and easy. I prefer this location over…read morethe other location because they mix your ingredients for you. I really enjoyed my Poke Bowl. I get the Poke with all salad, Tuna with onions & avocado, salmon, tuna, and shrimp w/ spicy house & eel sauce. Toppings, I get everything except ginger, wasabi, and extra avocado. I top it off with crispy onions and furikake. It's a big bowl and definitely shareable if they like what you like. The drinks are also good. I enjoy the guava but my oldest enjoys tropical so we got tropical today. The ambiance is casual. It really nice and bright. They also keep it very clean. I appreciate that, especially when food is being handled.

I ordered a two scoop bowl. Opted for half rice and half greens. Got the ahi tuna and octopus…read more Toppings were edamame, cucumber, avocado, and topped it off with the garlic soy mirin. Average is probably the best way to describe it. Portions are pretty small. The ahi was decent. The octopus was super chewy and rubbery. The best part were the toppings and sauce. It's a great healthier alternative than fast food, so I'd probably come back and try different combinations. Also, as much as I enjoy the greens I'd probably opt for all rice just so the meal can be more filling. Service was all just fine. The young lady was just going through the motions. It was later in the evening and the place was empty. I'm sure I ruined her moment of zen. The location itself was very clean, and everything was very well organized. Got in and out quickly which is a plus.

I honestly thought I already gave Poke Bar 5 stars but I guess my subconscious needed to confirm…read morethe consistency first. Which brings me here today:) This location in particular is probably the most consistently clean, fresh & cold with good service. It's literally my favorite so I know that you can walk in at any point on any day & get all the things. Like today, the one guy who works here is here on Super Bowl Sunday just being great. Of course he's got the game on his phone (let's be human people) but he's still doing everything he's suppose to with a pleasant tone asking everyone if they want to try the new Matcha;) I credit the owner for finding this guy...speaking of the owner, she is in the back hustling everything. (I don't really know what to say when Every. Single. Time. I see this lady, she's working harder than 3 Californians on a might-as-well-be-summer day.) I can't forget to shout-out all the beautiful girlies who made the consistency actual happen--like the owner's daughter, I think her cousin (only because I think I heard someone else reference them being cousins maybe), the petite cutie with all the gold & the most amazing nailsssssss! I digress... And it's cold. The importance of keeping seafood fresh in a clean, cold environment is a non-negotiable. Like AC always at 74. O and metal chairs, a clean bathroom AND clean floors. Yup, these are the businesses I love giving my money to.

I came here on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy. I got a large bowl with brown rice and two…read morescoops of salmon and one scoop of tofu and one scoop of tuna. I added cilantro, edamame, green onions, etc... to my bowl alongside cucumber, seaweed salad, and crab salad. I just chose Paiso as my sauce and it was mixed together and I topped it off with fried onions. I took it to go and had it back at my hotel since I was visiting the area and honestly for the price of a large it was delicious! The fish was fresh and the flavors blended well together! The workers were really sweet and polite so shout out to them! I definitely come back here for pokè

Very good food, my favorite poke spot, love all the options and so much to choose from.read more

I stopped by this poke spot on a whim and I'm so glad I did. Everything tasted super fresh like you…read morecould actually tell the fish hadn't been sitting around. The salmon practically melted, the tuna was perfectly chilled, and even the rice was seasoned just right (which weirdly makes a huge difference). They didn't skimp on portions either. I loaded up on toppings and it was still balanced, not soggy or overpowered by sauce. Speaking of sauce...whatever blend they use is addictive. Not too salty, not too sweet, just right. The staff was friendly without being over-the-top, and the place was clean and relaxed. It's the kind of spot you go once and plan to return again. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation. Parking is plenty.

Food 5/5 Wow! I am so impressed by this place! The portions…read moreare generous and fair for the price, and the quality was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I originally planned to take my order home, but I couldn't wait and ended up sitting down to eat it right there. They have a great variety of sauces, and I loved all the spice options. On top of that, I really appreciate that the food isn't served in plastic, definitely a plus in my book. This place is amazing and has quickly become my current favorite poke spot! Customer Service 4/5 Customer service is great and pretty friendly. There was just one visit where the staff wasn't very friendly, though it still wasn't a bad experience. Ambience 5/5 There are plenty of seating options, and the space feels spacious and welcoming. It definitely has the vibe of a local favorite, I got that impression as soon as I walked in. Cleanliness 5/5 The place appeared very clean. Wait Time 4/5 It can get busy with long lines depending on when you go, but once you're ordering, things move along pretty fast. Cost 5/5 I thought the cost was fair, and the portions were generous!

My boyfriend was craving poke and was gonna order elsewhere. I told him the only place I'll eat…read morepoke from is The Poke Place. We ordered via third party app. The ordering process is the same. Choose your base, protein, sauce, and toppings. However I did not see any dry toppings options for furitake, crispy onions, tempura flakes, all the good stuff you add at the end. So our poke ended up looking kinda bland. I wish that could be an option addded there.

I recently tried Poketeology and overall, it was an okay experience. But unfortunately, the service…read morereally missed the mark. First and foremost, when you're working somewhere with that many sauces and custom options, I feel like a server should at least be knowledgeable and willing to guide newcomers. A little engagement goes a long way. Instead, it felt like she was just standing there waiting for me to hurry up and order while I was clearly trying to figure out all the choices. I asked to sample their Japan sauce. She handed it to me without any warning. What I didn't realize was that it's heavy on olive oil and wasabi. If you know WASABI, you know it doesn't "spice" your tongue -- IT SHOOTS STRAIGHT UP YOUR NOSE. I immediately started coughing like crazy. A simple "Hey, just a heads up, this one has a strong wasabi kick" would've been nice. When I mentioned that she could've warned me, she just chuckled and didn't really acknowledge it. Not the best customer service moment. Then when I ordered fried pork, she asked what sauce I wanted. I was scanning the menu and didn't see teriyaki listed, so I asked if they had it. She casually grabbed it from behind the counter. If teriyaki is available (and pretty standard with fried pork), why make it seem like it's not even an option on the menu? It just added to the confusion. Food itself... It's decent. Not amazing, not terrible. The fish options are just alright. It's not the freshest I've had, but good enough to get by without worrying about getting sick. It satisfies a craving, but it's not somewhere I'd hype up as top-tier poke.

For a Friday night, this place was dead. It's walking distance from CSUSB. There were only two…read moreother customers when we were there, neither of whom ate there. The bathroom is locked, accessible with a key from behind the counter. Moderately loud music was playing. We ordered poke bowls, mine a small and my wife's a medium. Mine was plenty for a meal.

First off, every time we come here - EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Today one of the self order kiosks…read morewasn't working, so one of the employees directed me to a gentleman to help take my order personally. I was so flustered by the self ordering kiosks that I ended up ordering the wrong things when we got our food. I ended up ordering two orders of - 2 pieces of fish taco combos. Instead, I meant to order 1 order of a 2 pieces of beer battered fish combo and 1 order of a 2 piece fish taco combo. Also, the side orders were wrong. So when I went to the front to explain what had happened, the gentleman that took my order was the manager and he was so helpful in making my order right. He compensated us and gave not only 2 but 3 pieces of beer battered fish, and another side order of zucchini. My favorite thing about getting their beer battered fish here, whether it's just the fish or getting a fish taco is that the quality of the fish and make of the fish is so delicious. You definitely get that crunch factor and the batter is so light. Another one of my favorite things here is their sweet potato fries. This is a great place to get a healthy meal if you are craving fish. The ambience is very open. There are lots of seating as well as outdoor seating.

I heard her welcome me as soon as I came in & she was very pleasant & patient throughout the whole experience. Her shift ended and her replacement was a friendly young man who also had great customer service! After I finished eating I went back to the counter so I could take photos of the proteins/menu and he asked me if I was ordering anything else, and kindly obliged to my request to taking photos of the proteins without the covers. He also told me to have a nice day. I appreciated that the customer service was consistent with both employees. I like that there are plastic bags stacked near the register so you can just grab one yourself if needed. Food: Fish was very fresh and I was satisfied with the quantities of everything. I like that they had some unique protein options here, like roasted eel, which was extremely good. They had a lot of sauce options too. I tried the salmon bake, which was okay. I would stick with the salmon and roasted eel next time. Ambiance: Very clean. Good music. Lots of natural light. Parking: Located in a shopping plaza. Easy.

The portions were solid too, so you're not leaving hungry. The place itself is clean and the service was quick, which makes it a great stop for a fast lunch or dinner. If you're into poke or just want something lighter but still filling, this is a good spot to check out in Riverside.

I've gone here once around 2018 and my experience at the time was pretty bad. During that…read moreexperience, I'm assuming the temperature of the rice was too hot and combining that with the steam of the container, by the time I got home my poke was semi-cooked LOL. So because of that reason, I chose not to go here for next couple years. A couple months ago I had a sudden craving for poke and figured I'd give this place another chance. Upon entry, I was greeting by a kind gentleman. The server was attentive to detail, double checked with my toppings of choice, quick, and kind. The sauce choices are pretty straight forward, and I opted to go for shoyu w/lots of onion for my poke. Taste-wise, the poke was solid. It WASNT cooked (just the way I like it), and overall the experience was pretty solid. I will say portion sizes do vary on who's serving you. I believe the person who served me gave me a generous helping on each of my choices. Although I have other poke shops near by that I enjoy, I will be coming back to Bluewater Poke sometime soon!

The restaurant looked clean and smelled of rice and fish. We asked for an additional small bowl on the fly and that went well. Food tasted great, fresh and sauces were a great complement. Food portions were a tiny bit on the smaller side, but that's a personal preference/opinion. Highly recommend! We will be back!
