    My new favorite poke place! Cannot believe I finally found a poke spot that meets the quality that I am looking for. Not to mention the prices are a steal!! Honestly every mid poke I have had has been around $20...but this one is so much better for only $13. AND their pork plate that comes with one side of poke is 11.99!!! They have so many options for flavors too: spicy, savory, sweet, all of it! Best part is the owners are wonderful, super friendly and offered samples. Its a food truck parked very close to the district. Make sure to bring cash or have zelle when you are there!! Will be coming back soon

    Their service was so friendly! Our food was made so quickly and it was tasty! I got the Garlic Spice and Cali Hawaiian. My favorite was the Cali Hawaiian.

    I wanted to try this poke after I read others review but the fish quality is not as good as people describe. I tried spicy garlic and spicy mayo with both ahi tuna and salmon. both were salty and I tasted fishly smell. But the service was great and friendly and they gave me free sample to try another flavor! I might went on a bad day but I don't think I'll go back.

    I have been waiting for this place to open after many years. They used to be called Poke Etc. Located in Cerritos. This is the only poke place I have been consistently going to in SoCal. I would always get their poke bowl with spicy mayo salmon and cali Hawaiian tuna. I believe those are the best flavors there for me. The cali Hawaiian is very creamy and spicy mayo has an addicting salty taste. Their fish always tastes fresh and chewy for me, the perfect texture. They are run by a mother and son duo, the mom is very sweet and nice, the son very handsome and charismatic. I highly recommend 11/10!

    my boyfriend found this spot by chance and we couldn't believe how good the poke was! the poke is definitely more authentic unlike a lot the businesses in the area. i always get the garlic spice flavor and highly recommend it if you enjoy spicy food! :)

    Delicious poke from the nicest people! It was so good I came two days in a row. I tried their sweet&spicy with tuna and salmon and their spicy mayo salmon and I really enjoyed having both flavors in one plate. The spicy mayo is definitely spicier than what you would get at other poke places around but so yummy and flavorful. Less expensive than "build your bowl" style poke bowls with more fish as opposed to toppings. I can't wait to try more flavors soon :)

    Aloha plate

    Would like to gatekeep but also need everyone to try this place Got the aloha plate which comes with kahlua pork, rice, and one flavor of poke. I got spicy mayo salmon and a side of seaweed salad. Service was great! They gave me a small sample of the sweet & spicy flavor and it paired perfectly with the spicy mayo . Everything was so good and fresh! Can't wait to come back and try all the flavors. They are located in the Action Sales parking lot across the street from The District next to the construction site.

    Ahi and Salmon Poke

    The poke quality is top tier! Great quality and flavor of fish and even better sauces! Owners are super nice! Definitely recommend and new go-to spot for poke

    We're so glad they are so close to where we live! Their poke is so fresh and reminds us of Hawaii. We usually get spicy mayo, cali Hawaiian and just recently tried the sweet and spicy. It's all so good and flavorful. Seaweed salad is great. Staff is so friendly. We will be coming back often!

    This spot is so delicious! The fish was fresh and the pork had a smoky, yummy flavor. The sweet and spicy tuna was my favorite!

    The day of my visit was last Sunday 2/15/26. I discovered this Hawaiian food truck on youtube from youtuber Rockstareater. The food truck offers poke by the pound or half pound, poke bowls, and plates. The two types of fish used are Salmon and Ahi with as many as 20 different poke flavors. I ordered the Halona Plate which comes with one scoop of white rice, one scoop of poke I chose sweet and spicy, a generous portion of kalua pork and one piece of lau lau which is kalua pork and salmon mixed together into a leaf and cooked. All came out to $18 and change. The customer service was excellent. The truck was ran by a young man and a older woman I believe to be his mother. She walked us through the menu and her son recommended the Halona Plate and even gave us a poke sample of CA style. Overall the food was good. Poke was fresh, rice was moist, and pork was flavorful. I did like the flavor and taste of the lau lau by it was dry. I probably wouldn't order it again. The mother mentioned they had a brick and mortar store in Artesia/Cerritos but converted to a food truck due to increasing rent. I would return and recommend.

    Line was out the door on a Saturday afternoon, but we probably made it to the front in ~15 minutes…read more We thankfully were able to find a table for the 3 of us pretty easily after ordering. There's a parking lot next door, which alleviated stress over parking around a beach. My friends and I shared the ahi poke, salmon poke, and ceviche. Each of the orders came with chips. Everything was flavorful but our favorites were between the ahi and the salmon. While I wouldn't say it was the best poke I've had, especially considering the wait, it was still tasty and worth trying!

    Edit: I sold wahoos short. If you're down in Balboa or Lido then you might be better off driving…read morethe 10-15 minutes to South Coast, order the outer reef burrito AND a taco (same price) and enjoy your meal because it's better quality too. Oh and then you can go shopping at South Coast because you just so happen to be at a venue that's nicer than Lido anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Unless you're already down in Balboa or Lifo area, then you may as well just go to wahoos fish tacos. It's the same price for the outer reef burrito and the quality is about the same imo. The lemon butter burrito catch of the day missed the mark. If you go during the day it isn't crazy busy though which was good ig

    I haven't had poke in a long time, so I'm happy I got to try Poke District! I was blown away by how…read morefresh the salmon was and it was paired beautifully with the creamy spicy mayo, which had more of a kick than I thought! You get an option of white or brown rice (or both), along with seaweed salad, cucumbers and imitation crab! This place is also so unique because you can buy the salmon or the tuna separately! Perfect for if you want to eat it with rice at home! The service was amazing and they even showed us our order before giving it to us to make sure everything was correct. It was pretty crowded when I went during lunchtime and the space is actually quite big to sit down and enjoy your food. Come here for the freshest poke!

We both usually order the same thing every time she gets the salmon plate and I get the tuna and we've always enjoyed it enough to keep coming back. Today we noticed there was an option to add extra fish for $2.50, so we both paid for it. We also selected extra green onions, which is one of the free toppings they offer. When we got our food, it was immediately obvious that nothing was different. There wasn't any extra fish compared to what we normally receive, meaning we paid an extra $5 total for something we never got. On top of that, there were no green onions at all, despite specifically requesting extra. Mistakes happen, but it's frustrating to pay extra for add-ons that aren't included, especially when you're a returning customer. We weren't looking for anything unreasonable just the order we paid for. Hopefully they pay more attention to customizations in the future because this experience definitely left us disappointed and questioning if we want to continue coming back..
