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!
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 entire avocado for $1.50 . Service is also better.
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.
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. The restaurant itself is a little small but always clean. Highly recommend King Poke!
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.
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
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.
Second time trying this place, first time was last weekend lol That's how good it is! 10/10 on freshness and good flavors ! TBH can't beat the price either, also the customer service is amazing, &!they are fast! And can't beat a stamp card!!!
There is ramen sold on sundays and mondays -- it's a one man shop, but it's probably the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. Definitely the best ramen in LA.
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.
Came here at the recommendation of my coworker to have lunch. I ordered the medium original poke bowl. It came with tuna, salmon, albacore, white fish and masago. Loved that it also included avocado and imitation crab. You get to choose your base, sauce, and 3 free toppings. The service was quick and food came out fast. The fish was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

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

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

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
I love coming here for poke!!! The fish is always fresh & the toppings are soooo good! I could eat here every single day. The service is always amazing and quick. Inside is always so clean, I like to eat right then and there for maximum freshness and deliciousness! Love it here! 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

Jef, while we're pleased to hear you enjoy our tasty poke bowls,…
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

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
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

Paul, it sounds like your son knows great poke! Grabbing a fresh bowl…
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

I got the small "poke bowl" with everything I added fried onions, wonton strips (really an indulgence- not needed next time) and garlic! And shoyu seasoning Pls note- this is on an incredibly busy portion of pch! But they have parking Thank you! Enjoyed this! read more
