Let's get straight to what matters. I showed up for my first visit starving and craving poke. I ordered the original poke bowl, medium size, tuna-only for me. -Was it flavorful? VERY -Was the fish portion fair? YES (medium was $16.85 incl tax). -Would I go back there? YES, I'd come back tomorrow if I could afford poke every day. I think this place is solid. Definitely recommend. read more

King Poke - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

Wrote them a great review the first time, but sadly the second time I paid $20 for a large bowl plus 20 miles each way in gas and was shocked. I ordered as soon as they opened so they were well stocked. Large bowl was mostly salad with no clear signs of avocado. Eventually I found one miserly piece that was so paper thin it dissolved inside the bowl! For $20 I've gotten poke bowls with 1/4 of an avocado elsewhere. The store tried to claim it was because I didn't order extra avocado. The first time I did not get extra avo and a respectable albeit modest slice was definitely there. This time I dug underneath the lettuce and still mostly salad. Store offered, "extra avocado next time." Also there was not much noticeable difference between a medium and large bowl (or at least what I thought I got was large?). I got tendon cuts of fish and maybe 5 garlic chips (you can buy a whole bag of the kind they use for like $3 at Trader Joe's BTW!). PS The girl working the cash register does not greet/acknowledge customers and is needlessly surly every time. Come to think of it, my first time here she was blatantly impatient when taking my order even though I told her it was my first time. Maybe she's family and can't get fired or something. Pretty over-the-top rude. I usually give second chances, but have lost my verve and will not be back. Huge disappointment. For comparison, you can get $12 worth of a bowl packed with tuna at Bristol Farms. Just add your own avocado. Service is also better. read more

My go to! their bowl is my favorite and I like the customization options for the poke. The fish tacos are also very yummy!

I use to think Jus Poke in redondo beach had the best poke in the South Bay. Then I was introduced to King Poke and was blown away. The way the poke is prepared here is top notch. Super fresh fish in their original poke bowl (salmon, tuna, white fish) with the toppings of your choosing. So damn good! The portions are more than fair. The staff have always been kind and courteous willing to answer all of your questions to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. Place isn't very big inside, but there're a few tables if you want to dine in. They make a simple and perfect spam masubi as well. The next time you're craving a poke bowl, and if you haven't tried King Poke, do yourself a favor and get in there! read more

King Poke - Original poke bowl with fresh cilantro, seaweed, jalapeño, etc etc! - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

One of my absolute favorite Poke spots in the South Bay! There's no other poke establishment that allows you to completely customize your bowl from your base, toppings, sauce and fish! They have special sauces that I can't find anywhere else. Creamy sesame and Korean spicy bean paste being a couple of them! Love the options for the bases, sushi rice or noodle salad are my go to's! Can't go wrong with their fried salmon fish tacos too. This place needs more traction, truly a hidden gem here in the South Bay. read more

King Poke - Small poke bowl with all tuna. Rice and noodle salad base. Creamy sesame sauce and fried onion, cilantro and seaweed topping. - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

I've ordered a few times and also picked up. The poke is very good considering we're not on the islands. They have three sizes, their choices for toppings aren't a lot but are the traditional for Poke. After choosing your size and the toppings, you can get it as spicy as you want. The rice is almost perfect like sushi rice and seasoned/flavored good. I noticed a lot of people order out and don't choose to dine in. We did, as it was great to chill alone and enjoy the meal. The prices are reasonable and not too expensive, as like other poke eateries further up PCH. Anyway, Enjoy! We did. read more

I've been going here for years. I like this place because it's decently priced and their poke is delicious. They have a lot of options and even a low carb noodle. Perfect for the low carb conscious! read more

The best place for poke bowls! I've tried so many other places and none of them come close to what you get here. All the ingredients are fresh and there are what seem to be endless combinations you can create. Service is great, that staff is always friendly.

King Poke - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

Just ordered this place on Uber Eats at work and both my coworker and I agreed it was awesome. The fish was fresh and tasty and the flavors were on point. I meant to get a picture but once I started chowing down I forgot lol will definitely order here again! read more

This place is very very consistent. The food portions are well balanced. It's not too expensive. The service is clean and quick. The ambiance is usually pretty empty, which is fine because you'll always find a space I would recommend going here and I've been here a couple times already. It's good for the pokey fix read more

I would say it was delicious. I would recommend a medium to be satisfied. I would say they put a lot of flavors in there. It's preset so you don't choose what you want in it. I ordered through uber eats so I wouldn't be able to say how fast they prepped it. I didn't go there either so I can't say if it was busy or if the location was small or big. read more

King Poke - Spicy Tuna Bowl Sorry about the fuzzy picture - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

My boyfriend and I were in the area looking for a no frills lunch, and I dug through my bookmarks and we found King Poke. They are located in a small plaza with a private parking lot, but there is street parking if the lot gets full. Their Original Poke Bowl comes with tuna, salmon, albacore, white fish and masago so you don't pick your protein like at other places. It also has cucumber, imitation crab, onions, avocado, green onions and sesame seed unless you opt out. My boyfriend had a Medium ($13.75) and I had a Small ($11.75). I opted out of the onions and green onions. For my base I went with half brown rice half salad. I opted for the ponzu and spicy mayo sauces. You get 3 toppings, and I went with fried onion, fried garlic chips, and wonton chips. There was plenty of small tables in the restaurant, but not well maintained. They had AC on, but it was still a little not cool enough. Food came out with a reasonable wait time. The poke was good value. I would prefer to pick my own protein but for a bowl of similar size in my local area, it would cost significantly more. We agreed it was a decent no frills spot for lunch. I would consider it if I was already in the area, but not something I would go out of my way for. read more

King Poke - Original Poke Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

Was craving Poke and decided to go somewhere nearby. This place is great but the serving size is so small. I got a medium and I thought it was a small bowl. Whatever was in my medium bowl could definitely fit in a small bowl. We also got the glazed garlic shrimp plate! Very good on seasoning and the sauces but a little overcooked. Other than that, cool place. Very nice people! read more

King Poke - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

Wow! This is some very affordable poke. Will say the location itself seems a bit more on the sketch side but maybe that's just my thought. I got a small and medium poke bowl and the total came out to only $25. This poke place is a tad different than the poke where they make in front of you. You tell them what toppings you want and they make it in the back and call you when it's ready. Ingredients selection is pretty decent, not the most but it's reasonable. In terms of quality I thought it was good. I tried out the spicy tuna bowl which really hit the spot. It had all the components I'd like in a poke bowl. My wife got the regular poke bowl with ponzu and the fish itself tasted good but idk if we like the ponzu sauce, it was errr interesting. Overall I liked this spot because the fish was pretty fresh and it was a very reasonable price. They have stamp card where you get 1 free medium bowl with a drink after 15 stamps (2x stamps if you order from 4pm-8pm). Parking - Shared lot with a few local restaurants nearby, it's a pretty small lot not sure if it ever gets full. read more

This place used to be so good I even brought a sushi chef (now works for Nobu) and 2 years ago this place was outstanding. The quality of the fish and the prep was great. I'm not sure what this is now. The fish texture is kind of old and a pinch of Masago a pinch of the imitation crab mostly tuna barely any wonton chips or garlic chips and a huge portion of Ginger lmao. I get times are tough but hire a legitimate cook to prep the dish. A small piece of a half slice of avocado. What happened to the food... time to find a new spot. read more

King Poke - I usually kill this but I mostly ate the ginger look how much ginger is my side - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

After hearing much praise about this place, I decided to order some and see how it is. Some key things I look for in poke are fresh fish& good sides. Both of these things were met here. The things that was not it for me was the ice cold rice, missing ponzu sauce and bland taste (could be due to missing ponzu). I'd say it's an okay place to eat but definitely not worth the hype. read more

I wish I was in Hawaiʻi, a small slice of paradise! Devouring malasadas, Dole Whip, poke with rice Airfare is expensive, gotta wait for a drop in price But until then this place will do, it's just as nice! King Poke is along the Pacific Coast Highway Right in Lomita, a sleepy town in the South Bay Parking lot is tiny, but more spaces in the back Look for their store sign, which is in red and black It was empty inside, most patrons order takeout Plenty of seating if you dine-in, without a doubt Order ahead on their website www.king-poke.com Then the food will be ready for pick-up, nom nom! Every poke bowl includes tuna, onions, albacore Avocado, salmon, masago, cucumber, and more! Choose your base and size, small medium large Sauce, toppers, make it a combo for extra charge The small Spicy Tuna Bowl is a pretty good deal! $11.25 meal in this economy? Wow what a steal! My original Poke Bowl came with lots of fresh fish Combined with rice and vegetables, a tasty dish! Sure, topping selection could be more extensive Like other poke places that are more expensive If you aren't too picky, it gets the job done And you get to enjoy your food in the SoCal sun! read more

Amazing quality poke and great service! Would highly recommend, 10 out of 10. One of the best poke spots of been to in a long time!

After trying a number of different menu items. We have our staples! This is our go-to poke joint cause we just love it and its close to our house. This is what we get pretty much every time now. We have it written down and we just show it to them and they put it in for us. Small Poke bowl w ONLY salmon (no albacore or white fish or tuna), no onion or green onion Sushi rice Non-spicy Creamy sesame sauce (2)deep fried onion, (4) shredded Seaweed, (6)fried wonton chips Medium spicy tuna bowl Half and half salad/brown rice (2)Deep fried onion, (4)shredded seaweed, (5)sliced jalapeño Fish tacos Kids: 4x Kids Bowl (rice, crab meat, and seaweed) California Roll That's literally our order and the whole family is satisfied. The kids bowls are a pretty fantastic deal and the kids actually like it. read more

Used to come to this place a lot but it seems the portion has gone down while the price went up. Ordered a large poke bowl but the amount of poke was like the size of a small. 3/4 rice with less than a scoop of poke is just not what you would expect for a large size. Time to find a new place read more

King Poke - Supposed to be a large poke bowl but there's barely any poke and 3/4 full of rice. Center is where the rice came up to. - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

Poke bowl is 10/10. The quality is the same as Hawaii, Waikiki to be specific. But, please keep the door open or turn on the AC. There's a lingering human musk/spicy smell when the door is closed and it's not pleasant when you're eating in the restaurant. I sometimes just take the food to go because of the smell. read more

Best poke in LA undisputed. I order from here couple times a month and it never misses. The consistency in (top) quality is honestly wild. Value is excellent as well. Fish is always fresh and delicious. Big recs read more

Tbh be honest it wasn't much of a bad place. The reviews are true where they says it's good and all. One thing I would wish is that we had the option to choose. The inside had plenty of seating and was pretty big. Will say there is little parking in the front but they have more parking in the rear I believe. Service was quick and fast nothing to complain. The food was an 8/10 just cuz I wish there was more option available. And and was very presentable. Will say the portion was pretty nice as well. Forgot to take photos cuz I usually do but overall a good place :))) read more

This is definitely my favorite poke in the area. I like how you don't have to choose your proteins since each bowl already comes with salmon, tuna, albacore, etc... You just pick your toppings and sauce base. I think when you give someone too many options, it just gets too overwhelming. By simplifying the menu, it makes it more appealing in my opinion. The fish quality was great and I really enjoyed my poke bowl. I'll definitely be back! The cuts of fish were generous and you can tell it's quality. read more

King Poke - Large poke bowl - Japanese Near Me - Lomita, California

They were closed for a bit (vacation?) and I was forced to try some other poke places in the South Bay... which pretty much reinforced my opinion that king poke is the best. Ambiance: it's a small, spartan. Not unlike what you'd find in Hawaii. It's so cal, get it to go and eat in one of the local parks Food: the best value for money in poke to be had. Quality ingredients , generous portions and reasonable prices. It doesn't get any better than this read more

Stopped here during lunch, it was a refreshing and quick bite to eat. It was interesting how each poke bowl contains all types of meat (salmon, tuna, albacore etc), but you could request to make it all one type of fish if desired. It gave a great variety. I also appreciated the numerous toppings they had - but to pay a large fee for seaweed salad was disappointing since that is standard at most places. The sizes of the bowls were a little smaller than I would have liked. I ordered a large and it felt like a small-medium at some other poke places I have visited. read more

Tell me a poke place that gives you this generous of portions? You can't because this is the only spot for it not to mention their fish is way better then others around the area top tier no joke. read more

Found out about this spot from a Yelper's review saying this was one of the best poke spots they had tried! The parking lot in the front is tiny! They have parking at the back too. When we walked in, there were a few customers dining in, but most were waiting for to go orders. Customers continued to come in and out of the restaurant. Pretty hoppin' place! You order at the counter then they call your number. ***Theres a 25 cent charge if you order less than $12 on a credit card, so keep that in mind!! My sisters and cousin got the spicy tuna bowl, while I got the poke bowl, which had 3 types of fish. Lots of toppings already come with the bowls, but you can add more. The bowls also come in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. Which one is bang for your buck? I'm not sure since the bowls only looked marginally different from each other. I liked my sister's spicy tuna more than my poke bowl. I didn't want all the sauces that they added on mine. And for me, salmon sometimes tastes a bit more bland than tuna, for some reason. Prices were pretty reasonable. It's bang for your buck. Overall, not a bad option to have in the area! read more

this is my son's favorite pokey place because the flavor really is different and they have a lot of extras. Even though it's a little bit far for us, we'll drive a little extra for extra taste. read more

King Poke is a super affordable poke place compared to others ones I have tried. For the large size (9 oz of fish) it's about $16 bucks. There's plenty of other places that charge that for a medium size. Fish tasted fresh and lots of customization in terms of carb/salad, sauces and toppings. Only down side is the fish are pre selected - so you can't pick like all salmon if you wanted to. Tiny parking lot in the front, but apparently there's a parking lot in the back as well. We love dining here right before we go to Trader Joe's that's like 2 blocks away. read more

Poke so good it makes you wanna slap your momma! Service is fast and friendly. A nice casual meal.

This is my favorite poke spot. They have the best poke bowls. Never had a bad experience here

Solid and fresh poke bowl. Very well balanced and I really like how they take the stress out of picking a poke bowl since they already have a preset poke bowl where you just pick the sauces and extra toppings. There's a ton of variety of the poke bowl as well and not just the typical pick two scoops. Prices were fair and typical as to other poke bowl places I've been to. The parking lot is super small, so definitely check out the parking lot in the back since it's hidden and not many people park there. read more

King Poke has some very delicious and fresh poke. I really appreciate how their regular bowls are preset, with you just choosing size, sauces, and extra toppings. The fish is nice and delicious, sauces are very savory, and the rice is nice and warm. Prices are also reasonable. Overall if you can deal with the traffic in the area King Poke is worth a try. Ps they have a parking lot in the back, since the lot in front is very small! read more
