It was the perfect amount of food (generous even!) and so good/not too heavy on a hot day. With the 2 scoops and the 3 scoops, it was pretty cool that ALL the toppings were included - even avocado! I got half salad/half brown rice, tuna, salmon, all the toppings except green onion and a drizzle of spicy mayo. 10/10 would recommend this place and if I'm in the area, I'd prob come back again. There's plenty of parking and it shares a lot with Chipotle, jersey mikes and the date shake place (Hadleys). You can dine in or take to go - lots of outdoor seating as well!

Tropicali is the REAL DEAL. I've had a lot of poke in my life, and after four visits, this is still…read morehands down my favorite poke spot of all time. The fact that it's all the way in Big Bear makes it even more surprising because the fish is always so fresh and the flavors are, of course, amazing. This is genuinely one of the highlights of every trip when I get the chance to come here. I've tried a few of the bowls and they've all been solid, but the Kraken is definitely my go-to. The fish, flavors, and toppings all work so well together. I love everything about this bowl and find myself thinking about it even when I'm nowhere near Big Bear. I'm also glad they were able to move into a bigger location because the old one was much smaller. It can still get PACKED though. On our most recent visit, we came around 3:30 pm on a Monday during the last week of December and waited about 45 minutes to order, then another 20 minutes for our food. They have a self-order kiosk now, which helps keep things moving, but I'd still be prepared for a wait when it's busy. Considering how good the food is, I completely understand why so many people are here. The staff deserves a mention too. They're always so kind, welcoming, and high-energy, which makes the experience even better despite how busy it can get. I seriously love Tropicali. It's wild to me that some of my favorite poke is all the way up in Big Bear, but I always look forward to the next time I can come back. Absolutely worth the wait every time.

Barbacoa was ok, little too sweet for my liking, a bit like sloppy Joe. I'll try the kalua pork before I leave big bear. Great vibe overall.

Especially at a poke place where all the ingredients are out for you to choose from, I really appreciate when everything looks fresh, appetizing, and well kept, and it definitely did here. I ordered a one-item poke bowl and it was SO good. Everything tasted fresh and yummy, and I love that you can mix and match so many different ingredients and really make your bowl exactly how you like it. Price-wise, it feels like you're basically getting a sushi roll, just in a bowl with way more customization. I also haven't sat down and had lunch by myself in a long time, and it was actually really nice. The vibe was chill, the restaurant was clean and quiet, and the service was friendly and quick. Today was a good day for some quiet, and this was the perfect little solo lunch spot. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're craving fresh poke, and maybe a little peace and quiet too.

I hadn't been in a while and went today to use a 50% off rewards I still had available. The young girl was very nice but mentioned the rewards system hadn't been working lately. I think that needs to get fixed asap as it's poor customer service to have a rewards system and not be able to earn or redeem. I left without anything and just went home to cook something quick. Lost one customer for today until I find out it's actually working again. There is no website at which I can reach management to ask why this is not getting fixed.

The workers were nice and really loaded up our bowls. The place was also clean and chill. My friend got half hula and jasmine rice with salmon, tuna, alohot and lava sauce. I got half hula and bootea rice with salmon, tuna, OG and alohot sauce, with wasababy on the side. The portions were super generous! The rice was definitely the highlight. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fish was just okay, not the freshest and cut way too big. The OG sauce was a little grainy and the alohot was disappointing. I didn't get much zesty or yuzu flavor and it was a little bitter. My friend's sauce combo was better but definitely spicier. Overall, a little disappointing but I'd come back to try a different sauce combo!

We ordered the Golden Crispy, the Hawaiian and the Sweetheart rolls. They were all delicious! The service was horrible at first. The first girl never cracked a smile with us or anyone else. She was definitely in the wrong business! I asked if I order from her or the sushi bar, since we were seated at the bar. She said either but when I tried to order from the bar, he told me to order from one of the two girls. I ordered from the second one b/c she, at least, had some personality. She was more pleasant to deal with. However, neither should have been in a forward-facing customer service position. Strangely, hard to tell who oversees the servers but the only other staff present were the sushi chefs and they seemed oblivious to the lowsy service. IMO customer service is almost as important and the food quality, hence 3 stars. This was on a Thursday night and there was no seating, only sushi bar. They are obviously popular since the food is great, but you have to be willing to put up with the service. Will definitely be back, but maybe best to order for pickup and dine at home.

Since I don't eat fish, I was a bit nervous to try this place, but I took a chance and was thrilled to find a chicken option. I ordered the Chicken Yakitori, which comes with two perfectly cooked chicken skewers on warm rice, topped with onion chives, sesame seeds, and avocado. I paired it with the poki spicy sauce, and it was a perfect match; fresh and delicious! The restaurant is clean, organized, and offers plenty of indoor seating plus a couple of tables out front. Service was top-notch. Shout out to Kyler for being super attentive and helpful with the menu, and to the awesome young lady behind the counter. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!
