Went there for the first time and thought it was great. Cute atmosphere and really clean. You have the choice of small medium and large and it's the amount of protein added that determines the size. The fish was super fresh and they don't limit you on toppings. The staff was really helpful and nice as well. With the axxess card you get a buy one get one for 50% off and then 10% every time after. 10/10 would def eat again. read more

I went with 2 other people, and we all ordered a bowl for ourselves. I wanted to order one for my husband as well, but they told me I have to go to the back of the line to order my 4th bowl, because, according to the employee, the line had gotten long. There were only 5 other people behind me... The employee also said if he had known in the beginning that I wanted an additional bowl, he probably would have been able to make it. I'm not sure how that makes a difference.. Needless to say, I ended up leaving without ordering the second one. read more

Very good place to pick up a bowl after work. The staff is friendly and the food is good

The prices went up from the last time I was here when it was Poke Me. Food was about the same, but not sure if it's worth the price now. Main issue was with the service.. one guy was obviously drunk, the coworkers were telling him to go home, he was slurring, not quite walking straight, wasn't listening to my order and almost overcharged me if someone hadn't intervened and was just overall a mess. Created an environment I didn't want to stay and eat my food at read more

I live in Santa Maria and travel to sb quite often. I love that there is a poke place now on the way there or back It's about $12 which is a bit pricey for lunch, but it's sooo delicious and healthy that's it's worth the price. Super fast and. Add exactly to order. I wish it was closer tbh read more

Same as PokeMe but they've added imitation crab as a free topping! Yum! Everything was delicious as always.

I freaking love this place! The food is amazing, I love the ambiance with the games and TV shows, and having boba is just an added bonus!! The only thing I don't like is that it's bordering on expensive (which is understandable when you want fresh fish) and more often than not they are out of boba balls. Overall though, 9/10! I'm so happy they came to Goleta! read more

I have changed my review on this place. I initally gave it one star because of how much plastic they were letting go in the trash. They have since changed to fiber compostable bowls. Thanks for listening! I have always LOVED the food, now I feel better about eating here. read more

Their poke is probably the best in Santa Barbara but DO NOT get the matcha ice cream milk tea. I'm not sure if they made it wrong or just forgot how to make it but it tasted like they just mixed water and matcha power and threw in boba. read more

I was a long time customer, I loved Pokeeme when it first opened!! But then recently they changed their prices, lowered the amount of food, and the quality was not up to par. $15 for 4 scoops of fish is beyond ridiculous. My fried onion was stale!! And I got half the amount of the seaweed salad that I received before. This was my go-to lunch place. Now I will NOT be returning. read more

Love this place! Salmon and Tuna are bomb! And the sauce were awesome! Staffs are really nice. You can also get boba in the same place. read more

Overpriced for the quantity that you get, but the final product is tasty nonetheless.

The poke here was fine. I had the yellow tail which was fresh. I likes all my toppings. I'd go to PokeMee again if I return to Goleta.

I usually think this place is ok - but today they had me wondering. I have seen the staff be nice, or not at all. Today they were not very nice at the service line, and the guys working seemed like they could take their job or leave it. Then, I noticed the music they were playing. Super explicit lyrics, lots of curse words, etc. I actually wouldn't let my five year old in and he went to pizza next door with our other family members. I brought it up to the staff and they said they were playing Spotify and didn't seem to care that much. I like all kinds of music, but it just wasn't appropriate for kids - and it seems like restaurants shouldn't be playing the "b@$ch" "f*%k" stuff on blast at lunch hour. read more

Overall good poke. I always get salmon which is very fresh. They also have many toppings to choose from. I wish they had some spicier sauces, but I normally go with the chili garlic which is very mild. They staff is always very friendly and the proportions are good. It is the best poke by far in the Santa Barbara area, just not the best poke I've had. (guess I'm just a poke snob) read more

It's our favorite poke place! Great selection, generous helpings of proteins and sides, great tasting sauces!

I am extremely picky about fresh fish and their fish is fresh for sure! I love all the options they have and enjoy the quick service.

Ok, met my friend here for lunch today and was my first time coming in. I've had what I considered to be the best poke' ever, but of course that was on the Big Island!! The concept of the restaurant was nice as was their selection for what it entails. Overall it wasn't terrible but it also wasn't "smack da mouth" great. However, if you had a craving for poke and because it is very limited in the county, this place will do the job. read more

Just found this place & it's now a favorite. Great fresh poke bowls. Good selection of fresh fish & toppings. it's clean & the guys working are nice. Very helpful. I'll be a regular! read more

I placed an order at 5:40pm, at 6:44 I get an email saying my order has been canceled bc now they're closed. Wtf is that??? The driver was literally on their way. Supposedly. Don't order from here. read more

Ahi love it amazing place everybody chilling everyone nice all the workers always fast and always smiling I love it !!!!

Finally the first good poke and milk tea or boba place in the Santa Barbara area! Not some over priced garbage but good quality at a reasonable price. read more

Choppa Poke - Thai milk tea with boba - Poke Near Me - Goleta, California

So good! Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get, you get to pick exactly what goes in it and it's delicious! I honestly go here once a week every week (and it's hard to limit myself to just that often!). read more

Interesting. Like Chipotle for sushi. I like their bowls for some quick pickup food that is better for me than a burger. Tasty with many choices. read more

I rarely write reviews, but when I do it's for a real darn good reason. The food is amazing and the fish is fresh. If you're in the area, this plus is a must visit. Nothing beats the awesome customer services which is always a plus! read more

So this place used to be one of my top poke places simply because of their sushi rice. Before tonight, I always had a pleasant experience: good & fast service & the place always looked clean. However after coming in tonight the servers did not seem to care & the counters were a little messy. I still did not mind that because I come for the food, which was in my experience, always good. Tonight I found flies on their food, and the servers either did not notice or did not care because they did not bat an eye. We left right after discovering the flies because there was no way we were eating after seeing that. I'm never coming back again as I don't trust their upkeep or the cleanliness of their food anymore. read more

I've been fine with this place since moving in close by but I don't think I'll ever eat at this place again. I was eating my bowl and found a finger nail in my food. That is beyond disgusting and unsanitary. I don't know what their employees think is okay while prepping the toppings or whatever but that's a gigantic red flag. Definitely don't go here without expecting to find a surprise in your bowl. read more

1 star for the decor: very modern and clean. 2 stars for the amazing tapioca boba: it's soft and chewy and sweet. 3 stars for the poke: it's fresh and delicious. 4 stars for the poke sauce: the spicy mayo is OMG. They put the perfect amount of sauce in the poke and it's just so goooood!!! 5 stars for service: their employees are super well manner and always make sure everything is great. The BEST poke place in Santa Barbara/ Goleta and it's amazing!!! Recommend for all ages (children ages 6 and up for raw fish) read more

Only because there is no ZERO star option. This review is based on my experience with their service and not the food, which I will NEVER have the opportunity to experience. Never having been, I stood, as the only customer, alternating my attention between the food counter and the register for several minutes waiting to be engaged by one of the 4 staff visible members. The girl at the register appeared to be taking a phone order. The remaining three, payed me NO mind. I suspect none either cared or noticed as I walked out the door at 9:43pm, Thursday, June 19th. I am a local area professional, who will be taking my business elsewhere. Pity read more

Ordered via grubhub should've went with my initial pizza craving. 17$ for a small bowl of mini canned scallops and rice......they couldn't even send it with soy sauce???? Bland as bland could be. Take some pride in your work, these types of things are the reason I don't care to eat food prepared by others. The lack of soy sauce is pure negligence on everyone in this restaurant. read more

One star for the fact that they're open late. One star for the fish. It's definitely tasty and the toppings are good. One star for the couple times that I've been here already and things went good. I did take away one star because I felt really rushed while everyone else in line got to take their time. I didn't receive a bag or wasabi or ginger, even though I said to go. I took away another star since one of the girls had shorts so short her butt was showing. Like, that's gross. You're at work. So yeah. It was 5 stars until today 8/28/17. I might not be returning soon. read more

Restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. There is board games available in the corner. They also have tea house drinks inside. I ordered the large bowl with sushi rice. Rice was good and flavorful. Their portions for fish were good. Add ons all were fresh. Overall everything tasted very good. I will definitely be back. read more

Best poke and boba/tea spot in SB! The Poke was fresh, there were lots of topping choices and all the sauces were delicious. All the sauces are made in-house. I especially like the Spicy Ponzu and Spicy Mayo. You definitely have to try the Sushi Rice option with your poke. Amazing! The Sno-Crave Tea House drinks are also really flavorful. I had the new Pomegranate Tea with lychee and aloe - good, light and refreshing. My fiance got the Rose Milk Tea with boba - perfect balance of floral and sweet. Definitely coming back! read more

Great place. For the price too! I see these reviews whining about running out of things. This means this place is a hit. Definitely recommend getting all the different tunas and trying out different sauces. You gotta like spicy though!! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect being from LA but was quite impressed with not only the fast and professional service but the food was fantastic! The different sauce flavors and rice seasoning really enhanced the flavors of the poke. Love coming here! read more

Perfect spot for a poke night with the boys. A sure bet. At peak times, it can be flush with customers (a full house, if you will), but they're efficient, and it's straight-up the best place to eat in the area. read more

Went for the first time over the weekend and it was great! I had half greens, half brown rice as the base with spicy tuna and chopped tuna as the protein. I liked that I was able to customize it so that it was a healthier option. read more

All the Poke Bowl places I've eaten have been a little hit or miss. Not bad, just not great. So I tended not to seek them out. But PokeMee is one of the dozen or so resturaunts within walking distance of my office so I figured I would try one day when I was craving fish but not the bill that would come with sushi. I now eat here pretty much at least once a week because the food always tastes fresh and safe to enjoy. Their small bowl is the perfect size for me, never leaving me hungry or too full. The medium was just a bit too big for me. I usually get the Yellowtail and the Salmon as my two proteins and they're always delicious. read more

This place is a little confusing because there's (technically) 2 different restaurants inside 1 building: a PokeMee on the left and a SnoCrave on the right. Note: the employees here work both sides of the restaurant, so if you see someone working PokeMee and no one is at SnoCrave, get in line and they'll come over. I'm not a big fan of fish so I've never tried the poke here, but it seems popular among other customers I see here. SnoCrave is one of the more authentic boba shops in town, but you have to really know your order to get exactly what you want. Anything with green tea is more on the bitter side (I think the nice word is "floral") and black tea is usually sweeter. Once got a Mint Milk Green Tea with boba, was way too bitter for my liking; I now stick to Rose Milk Tea (goes great with pudding). This isn't my absolute favorite boba shop in the area, but it is the shop with the most variety of drinks by far, so maybe I just haven't found my drink yet. It is, however, a really cool hang out spot. Decor is very colorful and a touch industrial, and there are a bunch of board games you can borrow and play with friends. I have never gone out to this area with the sole intent of getting SnoCrave, but I do always stop by after running errands at the Costco across the street. Would recommend. read more

Salmon was not fresh. Staff was friendly and portions were good (besides being skimpy on the fish but it was okay because the fish wasn't very good). Don't think I'd come back here again. read more
