Bluewater Poke - Poke Regular Bowl - 2 Protein - Poke Near Me - Redlands, California

The food was absolutely delicious! Thank you to the server Felicity for helping me out with putting the meal together!

I recently made my first visit to Bluewater Poke while in Redlands and had a positive experience. The staff were friendly and patient, the establishment is intimate but well-maintained, and the poke, along with the many fixings, were fresh and tasty. Definitely a new meal option to add in my rotation whenever I'm in Redlands. Bluewater Poke is located in a small strip shop area with some shops and other eateries. There is plenty of free parking in the lots adjacent to the sides of the strip of shops that is shared by all of the businesses. Be aware that there is no parking that is directly in front of Bluewater Poke, though the closer slots in the noted lots are a short distance to the entrance. As mentioned above, the shop is small. At the time of my visit, there seemed to be one table available for a group of patrons to eat in, although there were a handful of other tables outside the establishment if you would like to eat on site. The setup and ordering process is similar to other poke spots around where you choose your base, proteins, sauces, toppings, etc., then pay at the end. As noted above, the staff were extremely patient, friendly, and efficient with moving through the customers in a respectable way. Despite them being slightly busy at the time of my visit, my bowl was crafted with care and accuracy. The establishment overall appeared to be very clean, which did not leave me apprehensive to order here. My order consisted of a large bowl with Hawaiian Tuna, Hawaiian Salmon, and Shrimp with a base of salad. I added various mix ins including crab, green onion, pineapple, and some of the crispy toppings sprinkled on the top. Everything tasted very fresh and was good quality. Portions were a little smaller than some of their competitors, but the price justified this as Bluewater Poke seems to be a little cheaper than other spots in the IE. Bluewater Poke made a strong first impression for me. I would definitely return in the future if I'm craving some poke while in the Redlands area. Looking forward to possibly adding boba to my order next time. read more

The food here is so good. I came since I saw the place while driving by and went to check it out. The employees greeted me when I came in. The service was fast and I didn't need to wait much. The worker who helped me, Jade, was very polite and kind. She had such a bright smile on her face. Highly recommend trying this place!! read more

I've been here about 3 times and ordered once through DoorDash, the food was great and I plan on coming again in the future. The bowls are amazing and fulfilling. I recommend on coming here for a good experience and good poke! read more

My son went to pick me up a junior bowl from here and it was amazing ! Prices are affordable as well as the portions being great. I recommend coming to this place for the over all experience! read more

I absolutely love going here. My partner and I are from OC and this blew our expectations with how the quality of the fish is so good here in IE. The service is always great, they are so nice and patient if you dont know what to get. Definitely a spot to check it out. read more

Bluewater Poke - To-go large, regular, junior bowls (recommend the Hawaiian salmon) - Poke Near Me - Redlands, California

First time trying BlueWater. Overall, I would say it's an above average poke spot. Their fish is fresh and they offer a wide variety of choices including marinated Hawaiian tuna and blue crab. Their toppings are creative including crushed flamin hot Cheetos for those that like to live dangerously! For the drink, we tried a winter melon milk tea with boba. It was a little too sweet for our taste but the boba was delicious. We would definitely come back for the good food and service! read more

I eat poke very often, and I rarely leave reviews for places. This spot is excellent, the seafood and veggies are fresh, the prices are very fair with generous portions which sometimes is not the case. The service was friendly and fast. The dinning room is small but it is clean. read more

Oh man! So surprised !! Literally just a baby spoon full of the three protein bowl. Paid almost forty dollars with a tip for takeout to receive basically a large bowl of rice . I read that food shrinkage was an issue , but I'm certain no one would consider this much . Sad, used to be a great spot. Will definitely have to find an alternative spot from this point forward and I suggest you do so as well. You have been warned read more

Bluewater is right on Redlands but you have to park near Wendy's then walk over on the sidewalk to it. Thank God for GPS or we may not be able to find it. BW is a small boutique poke joint, only 2 tables inside and one round table outside. You may have to order to-go due to limited seating capacity. We got here in the nick of time. The line went outside the door as we were ordering our food. Our poke looked nice but I find both proteins and sauces lacking in flavors. I am not sure how it got its 4.5 stats rating. It is a 3.5 stars joint if you ask me. read more

Great sushi and nice staff! Always come here on my way back home from work. Never had a bad experience so far.

We ordered 2 Poké bowls for lunch today. My coworkers bowl had one of the ugliest Avocados I've ever seen- it was rotten. I can't believe the worker actually thought it was okay to use that avocado? That was an extremely poor decision. Hopefully the manager sees this review and is able to coach them. Both of us had the salmon as one of our proteins and we each found it to be very tough/chewy. The Ahi however was delicious. All of the other components and flavors were fresh and delicious. read more

Bluewater Poke - Rotten Avocado - Poke Near Me - Redlands, California

Protein: salmon was fresh and good portion Toppings: cucumber, edamame, seaweed, furikake. Lots of options and all fresh! Rice: pretty good, but a tad on the dry side and lacked flavor. Overall, good experience. The service was really good, and portion size was good. Fresh fish and good toppings/sauce. read more

Bluewater Poke - Salmon poke - Poke Near Me - Redlands, California

The food is good it's usually quick the staff are hit and miss and the costs a bit much.

While my wife was pregnant with our second baby, all she craved was poke and sushi. There were days when she would stare longingly at the spicy ahi poke and tuna rolls we were eating while she sulked in silenced and nibbled on her fish-less, mercury free California roll. She gave me very strict instructions that the first meal she wanted post-birth was poke. Although I could not make that happen as she went into labor at night and they fed her hospital cafeteria food, the next morning, I perused Yelp and found Bluewater Poke. I arrived as soon as they opened at 11:00 AM and beat the rush. We went with the three protein choice bowl and went with the spicy ahi, Hawaiian-style ahi, and the octopus on top of a bed of brown rice (other options included white rice, salad, half and half). Other protein choices included shrimp, salmon, tofu, blue crab, just to name a few. When I arrived with our order, my wife was so excited to see that they stuffed the bowl full. What surprised us was that the Hawaiian-style was very flavorful and the closest thing we found so far that is like the poke you find in Hawaii (now if only they sold poke by the pound). We have been back multiple times since our first visit and love how consistent they are. The best part is when they give sauce on the side so you can use the delicious tamaniku sauce and spicy mayo sauce on other things such as chicken or salad dressing. read more

I ordered 2 medium bowls for pick up, the fish is not good quality. I felt sick after one bite, the color was definitely off about the hawaiian tuna, which tasted terrible. Wish I could get a refund. Terrible did not finish. read more

The spicy tuna is delish and my favorite, I tried the spicy salmon and didn't like it as much, I also get the spicy tako aka octopus and that's pretty good too; been here twice already and I love that they have fast and friendly service, would recommend. I hope they get more drink varieties like tea and other soda alternatives. read more

This is a small and quick takeout establishment. The quality of food did not taste fresh to me at all out of all the poke spot in the area. The rice was also hard and I can tell they gave me crispy dry bits that was left over. Although the employees were nice, they did not handle food properly in a sanitary manner( working while sick, dropping sauce bottles and putting it back on working station, etc). read more

This is the only poke place I know of that has the option of blue crab as a protein. They have plenty of delicious protein options but this place has blue crab which almost all poke places do not. It's for an additional cost more but so worth it. I also enjoy their salmon and spicy salmon which always tastes fresh. They also have tuna, shrimp, tofu, and even octopus. You can do brown rice, white rice, salad, or half and half. There are so many types of toppings and a huge variety of sauces. Everything I have tried is so good. And all of my friends who have gone have enjoyed this place. The scoops do run on a smaller side but their pricing is so cheap. I usually go to 3 scoops and it is barely enough for me. It's cheaper than most poke places. 5 scoops is less than $14. Service is quick. It's a grab and go place and not really a place to dine in. I usually order ahead of time and they keep your bowl fresh in the fridge until you come pick it up. The people behind the counter are very nice and work quick. If you're looking for some affordable quick poke in the area then you must check them out. read more

The young men who were working at the store tonight when I brought my son in to choose out his first poke Bowl we're very sweet and kind. They were professional and patient as a little boy decided what he wanted to eat for dinner. They made this picky eaters night with some wonderful food. Great job on hiring whoever picked those two out they're wonderful read more

Food was pretty good, nothing crazy special about it. Sauces were good and it's one of the better spots around the area.

This place surprised me in a very good way! I wanted to try a new poke place. I looked it up and since it had good reviews my hubs and I decided to give it a try. I wasn't loving the fact that they didn't have wonton as a base but decided to try anyway. Customer service 5 star. Over the top great. Three staff. There was a guy who had all kinds of suggestions and they were all good. Food. So good! Everything was super fresh. Also, their rice to fish to topping ratio was so good. They used less rice than most places and it really makes a difference. The sauces are really great ( which is what makes great poke imo) and they have 5 different combo suggestions. Then they tweak it to your likings. Ex: how hot, how much sauce. So you truly get a bowl that is perfect to your taste. Price: comparable to most. I got a two scoop with avocado. I think it was 8.95 plus a dollar for avocado. Get the avocado btw. They give you a lot. The more scoops you get the cheaper. Saw a lady get 3 five scoop bowls! read more

Great options for both food and drinks. Flavors are amazing. Staff recommendations are spot on. I tried the large bowl with hawaiian salmon, hawaiian tuna and shrimp. Mild spicy flavor. Many different toppings. Delicious. I also had the pineapple green tea, delicious. Highly recommend!!! read more

Hire new workers , it was dead and it took them 20 min to take my order and then another 10 to make it there slow and have side conversations. A line built up to 6 people and the one guy making bowls asked a girl if he should focus on customers or uber and she said Uber multiple people in line just walked out and it's embarrassing and frustrating not worth the wait either . Also took the guy 5 min to cut an avocado lol. read more

Stopped by on a Monday evening. Place is clean and the menu is clear is easy to read. We ordered 3 bowls with a variety of toppings. Everything was fresh and the servings generous. The person helping us was patient and explained the different types of sauces and also made some recommendations. Although it isn't located in an area we frequent, we've already planned to stop by the next time we need a poke bowl fix. read more

Place has really gone down hill. Under new management again . Now they don't accept cash. But decide to wait until you have ordered and gone thru the process of making the bowl before deciding to tell you this. Seriously stupid . No where does it say this in the business. Good luck. read more

Bluewater Poke - Careful this little girl like to talk about customers she has issues with . Try and be a bit more discreet next time . - Poke Near Me - Redlands, California

New employees it seems, no urgency, no organization. I placed a doordash order an hour prior. When I got there I asked for my order and they said they were making it. Half an hour later, after they helped new customers coming in, i had to ask again and they finally started to make my order. Their service is disappointing and not what it used to be. One of my orders was light or missing on the sauce too. read more

Very disappointed. I have gotten poke here many of times but today it really fell short. My spicy salmon was mushy (mash potato consistency) and flavorless. What a waste of $18. Likely not going back. read more

Very good food but the service was amazing They helped us and recommended what to match . I will Be back ! read more

I used to stop in fairly often, and I was never disappointed, but I cannot say that I have had a good experience here since the old owners left. Everything has been effected by this change so it seems. I used to see familiar faces each time I came in, and they made great quality bowls and drinks. Those employees have since left, portions are now very small and not worth the price (in my opinion), poor quality of products (if there is product), and the service is no longer great. I hate to give a low review, but I used to enjoy coming here, and I have seen this spot sadly deteriorate. read more

I come here semi frequently and am usually pretty satisfied. Unfortunately the portion sizes are a little hit or miss depending on who's working. Some people are super stingy and give really small amounts of everything and other people are awesome and give great portion sizes. The fish and other toppings are always fresh and taste good. read more

Love this poke spot! I always order a regular/large with all shrimp for protein, pineapple, green onions, 3 scoops of imitation crab, avocado, and mix with the #2 sauce, all dry toppings, and finally, add eel sauce and spicy mayo on top of everything. It's my go to every single time and the flavor stays consistent which is not achievable at every poke spot. read more

I had a large bowl for lunch and there were many protein options to choose from and as I was allowed to choose three protein foods, I chose the salmon twice as it was mouth watering. Also the staff was very helpful, explaining everything with smile and her own recommendations, which I found it to be great. The place was very clean, bright, Above all the food was made of fresh ingredients and filling. I wish I lived nearby!!!! read more
