+5/5 A friend said this is the best poke place he's ever had and I had to try it . The staff was friendly and portions were generous. I got a large bowl for 5 scoops of fish on top of a salad base. Everything was fresh and delicious. I appreciate the included sides. Great value and taste. Will definitely be back. One of the best poke bowls I've had in OC read more

I love this place!!! I went twice this week that's how good it was. The second time I went with my friend and we were able to share a bowl because the portions are large! Good price for the amount you get! Also the worker that made my bowl, I believe his name was Kelby, was so awesome and the bowl was a 10/10. Overall one of my fav poke spots for sure, highly recommend! read more

Kamea Poke is hands down one of the best poke spots around. The fish is always fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes clean and high-quality. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving. Elmer in particular makes the experience even better. He's friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful -- always willing to explain the menu, suggest great combinations, and make sure your bowl comes out exactly how you want it. You never feel rushed; he really takes the time to get it right. read more

I finally checked out Kamea Poke this evening and was extremely underwhelmed by the kid working here. I asked him what he likes and recommends and he said "I don't eat fish" which was brutally honest but not exactly reassuring when you are thinking about ordering raw fish from a poke place next to a bait and tackle shop. I didn't eat here even though the salad greens looked fresh so I give that arena 3 stars plus parking is easy in the read more

This is one of my favorite poke spots in OC. Everything is always fresh, and their portion sizes are good. I got the regular plate today. Which is three scoops of protein, two sides, and the base. I got the salad base with a side of Hawaiian bread and crabmeat for the protein. I got spicy tuna, shrimp, and scallops. You can put a topping and sauces on there to your liking. If you're in Dana Point, check them out. read more

Cute little shop with some seating inside and a big parking lot, which made parking really easy. The staff were also very nice and welcoming. I ordered the Regular Plate ($17.45), which comes with 3 proteins. I chose 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna. The rice was nice and warm, and the fish tasted fresh. For the price though, I do wish they gave a little more toppings or slightly bigger scoops. It was still a solid bowl overall, but I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come back if I'm in the area. read more

This place is generous with portions. I was slightly disappointed, I wish they told me before hand that they mix the spicy tuna in the bowl. I prefer it on the side, but it all happened so fast by the time I looked up from saying my toppings it was too late. I was too shy to tell them anything after they already did it. However the flavor was nice. The sides should just be seaweed and crab, edamame should be a topping to be honest. The staff is friendly and the interior is clean. read more

Kamea Poke hits the spot if you're craving fresh, flavorful poke bowls by the beach. The ingredients are super fresh, the flavors are spot on, and the portions are generous enough to leave you satisfied without feeling overstuffed. I especially appreciated how balanced everything tasted--nothing felt over-seasoned, just clean and tasty. The staff here adds to the experience, with genuinely friendly service that makes you feel welcome right away. It's one of those spots where you can tell they care about the food and the customers. My only small quibble is the price point--it's a touch high for what you'd normally expect, but considering the prime location just steps away from the ocean, it's kind of the "you've got to pay to play" reality of eating this close to the beach. Overall, great poke, great people, and a spot I'd happily come back to again read more

This is by far THE BEST poke place in OC. I have been a returning customer for the past 7 years and will continue coming back. Although they have raised their prices a substantial amount ($15 for two scoops of fish and $17 for three) it is still hands down the best I have tried. Fish is always fresh, people are nice, and it always tastes good. The portion sizes as well are massive even though it's expensive. It's almost enough to feed two people for a small lunch if you get a regular. Love this place so much! read more

The salmon and tuna tasted foul, the salad was old and the leaves had brown spots on it, and the crab meat tasted days old. Also $3 for a scoop of avocado is highway robbery, might as well buy a whole one yourself. Anyway love throwing 22$ away read more

10/9/23 Just driving around PCH, cruising and we stumbled upon this poke shop. We were casually looking for a place to grab some grub, poke sounds better than my initial idea (burgers). Went in & was instantly greeted by staff. It's the usual process, select size, your vase, your sides, veggies/add-ons, protein, sauces and toppings. Opted for a large, feeling hungry (I figured if I don't finish it, Hubby will). Half brown rice, half salad, 3 sides: mac, seaweed & crab salad. Protein (5), salmon, tuna, yellowtail, spicy tuna, scallop. Sauces: spicy mayo, sesame oil & shoyu. Toppings: furikake & sesame seeds. It was pretty hefty in weight but it didn't seem to be that much in portion size. I think it could've used more salad-probably because the greens were drenched with the sauce. Overall, the taste was pretty good. Service was fairly attentive. The place is tucked in a small strip mall. Somehow it did not give me the wow factor that would make me go out of my way to return but it fit the bill at this time. Price-wise, at par with some of the poke places I've visited. There's ample parking in the lot. Good poke bowl read more

Kamea Poke in Dana Point is a great spot for a refreshing build-your-own poke bowl. Indoor seating is available. They have lots of options, so you can try out or omit whatever you like. Regular bowl comes with three scoops of fish and two sides. Between the salmon and tuna, I preferred the tuna, which is rare for me since I usually love salmon. The fish tasted good and were thankfully neither lukewarm nor room temp. They also offer a variety of interesting sauces with unique flavors, such as the cilantro ceviche and the miso-chang. I liked the tart and herby cilantro ceviche better. The mild shoyu was great. It packed an umami punch without being too salty, and I appreciated that it was not sweet. It looked slightly goopy at first but mixed well with the fish. Service wasn't slow, but there was only one person taking and making orders. With two people ahead of us, we waited about a little over five minutes to be greeted and served. Located off of the PCH, there are nice ocean views and relaxed beachy vibes here. Glad to know that I now have two poke spots whenever I'm in the area: Kawamata Seafood and Kamea Poke! read more

Poke bowl tasted good at first... but then I noticed the tuna was super sinewy and tough. Other pieces were super mushy. I tried to overlook it, but then I noticed my son (who never gets sauce) wasn't eating his fish. He said the salmon tasted bad. I smelled it and it smelt SO fishy! He also said the tuna tasted sour. I tried it and he was right. My fish was covered in sauce, so aside from the texture of it I wouldn't have noticed that it wasn't fresh. Every few minutes new customers came in. I feel so bad for my kids who were rotting fish. read more

The closing time is 8pm. They close their seating at 7:30pm. The ordering process is Chipotle style ordering with picking your base then your proteins and then sides and toppings and sauce. Their menu is pretty big for the variety your able to choose from with regards to toppings and sides. I like how for sides you can choose with miso soup, seaweed salad, macaroni salad, etc. I liked the kick of the Mauna Loa with ponzu for saucing my fish. Overall it was a pleasant experience. The price is fair reflective to the area and how expensive food is nowadays. read more

I ended up here in the middle of the day while working in the area. Never been before. I try to avoid chains when I can and pick something new each time. This place caught my eye, and I'm glad I walked in. It's a small, family-run vibe -- and I mean literally. Looked like a husband and wife running everything themselves. They were both super polite, calm, and you can tell they really care about the food and about every guest who walks in. No rush, no attitude, just warm hospitality. I went with something safe for me -- ramen and salmon sushi. And both were just... really solid. Not overcomplicated, not trying to be something fancy. Just good food made right. The broth had depth, noodles cooked right, and the sushi was fresh with balanced flavor. No complaints there at all. The place itself is small. Not a big dining room. A few tables inside, clean but definitely more of a takeout-focused spot. They don't have a restroom available inside, which kind of confirms that they expect people to grab food and go. And honestly -- I would. Not because it's bad to sit there -- it's fine. But this is the kind of meal that hits even better sitting somewhere by the ocean with the breeze. I'd definitely order takeout from here and eat outside by the water next time. I paid around $30, which is very fair for the quality, especially in California. They do ask about tip at checkout before you get your food -- that part always feels a bit weird to me, but I get it. Overall -- 5 stars for the food and the heart behind the place. I'll remember it.

I especially like the Aloha roll, Lollipop roll, Crunch (shrimp tempura) hand roll, and the sashimi & carpaccios are all fresh.

They also have delicious ceviche and fish tacos, and the best burger you're gonna get anywhere in Orange County! But most importantly, they are kind and welcoming to animals. We ordered a side of bacon for our dog's birthday and we were delighted to see that they wrote a special little note inside the box just for her!

The shack offers a shuttle service from the parking lot to the shack for $2 dollars a person but honestly the walk only takes 5-7 minutes but the hill can be somewhat steep. My family and I ordered the Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos and Chicken Sandwich. The fish and chips was great, with the right amount of fish and well fried fries. The fish tacos were also good but we not the biggest fan of the chicken sandwich. It's grilled but the chicken lacked as much flavor.

Locally sourced, fresh fish and chips!

They had pretty much…read moreeverything you'd expect on the menu -- orange chicken, Mongolian beef, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, and more. The orange chicken was delicious. The batter wasn't overly thick, the texture was great, and the sauce was honestly better than Panda Express. The Mongolian beef was juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. I also liked the vegetables that came with it. The soups were really well made and exactly what we were craving. They gave us the option of brown or white rice, and both were cooked well. Our waitress was amazing; she's super kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. The inside was a little dark, but the windows were open so there was still natural light coming in. Overall, we'd definitely come back to try more things on the menu.

There is very limited parking and even though it is not always busy you may want to make a reservation because of how limited the seating is. Food quality is good. The fish is very fresh, the salads are well dressed, and they do have gluten-free soy sauce when asked for. We had a Baja Crudo, we had bluefin Nigiri, shotgun roll, house, salad, edamame, a side of rice. The rolls could have been wrapped a little tighter, in our role, we did have a little bit of the fish that couldn't be eaten due to it being not as well cleaned and chopped as the rest, and the edamame serving was a bit small. Service is very friendly. Expect a slower pace as the restaurant is very calm and casual. It is in an older building and the ambience is amazing during the day when you can see the ocean but very rootsy, and a little rundown at night. Overall, we had a nice dinner at a very reasonable price and will probably try it out again.
