Nuc Mam and Honey Wasabi with Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Salad
Emily T.

A pretty solid poke spot! I got their nuc mam and honey wasabi sauce with tuna. I liked their honey wasabi sauce but I felt like it didn't have that true wasabi kick to it. I did like the flavor profile of it though! The nuc nam sauce was a bit more plain and I felt like they needed to add more sauce. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I would go back to try their other sauces! It's a ghost kitchen type situation so you have to order online. The wait time is kind of weird. It estimated 15 minutes for pick up and I got a text that my food was ready but I ended up having to wait an additional 20 minutes which is kinda lame. Parking is a bit challenging but theres residential streets nearby.

Salmon and tuna

This place was really hard to find. I thought it was a restaurant but it's really just a place where you pick up multiple orders like for Doordash. there should be clearer signs that lists where the restaurant is. The food itself was okay too. The tuna and salmon definitely needs more sauce. I got the soy sauce and nuoc mam flavors and felt like i needed more. The rice was the perfect texture though. I wish the portions for the seaweed salad and crab salad were bigger because those were both amazing! overall, i would try other places before trying this one.

Nuc Poke or NUKE POKE?? THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB. Was near LA area and this place was perfect for delivery. Very convenient and the packaging was great. Came in a bag with both chopsticks and forks and napkins. I heard the chef is an ex-Tao restaurant chef who decided to do a modern elevated twist on poke mixing Hawaiian and Vietnamese flavors. The fish is super high quality and fresh. It is also mixed with the sauce and marinated to order! No more gummy rubbery poke. Super tender, solid, fresh fish texture with the crunch of peanuts crests a great contrast in textures. I tried the volcano sauce which was garlicky, a bit spicy and really flavorful. Paired with the Furikaka rice was an awesome combo. I also tried the honey wasabi salmon. Sweet, spicy, fragrant, and creamy. This creamy texture and crunchy peanuts made for a great mouth sensation haha. The wasabi honey was a really good pairing as well. The dish plating was also great. Super fancy and pretty. My eyes were definitely fed before my belly haha got me salivating. It is a ghost kitchen for now but I heard the chef is looking to expand to a brick and mortar! Can't wait!! Y'all gotta try this bomb poke. I will definitely order again.

Great price to food quality to volume ratio! This is my go-to poke spot in Los Angeles

One of the best poke spots in Los Angeles by a mile, and it tasted like I was back in Oahu. Food (5/5): I ordered a large bowl: Salmon with Lava Sauce, Tuna with Shoyu Sauce, Imitation Crab Salad, and Sunomono Salad. Both fish were very fresh. The imitation crab salad was one of the best surprises. Usually most poke places have that scoop of imitation crab like a ball of ice cream, but this one hit different with the masago on top. Service (1/5): This is a ghost kitchen. While I don't mind ordering on a tablet at all, this tablet in particular was slow. You can also only add tips in increments of 15%, 18%, and 20% without an option for a custom tip. Also, enter on the parking lot side, because if you order from the street side, you will need to pick it up from the parking lot side anyways. There aren't any clear directions indicating this Ambiance (1/5): Doesn't really matter since it's a ghost kitchen. The food itself makes up for the logistically comical ordering system. Would definitely pick-up poke from here again.

This place is soooooo good I ordered from here twice in 3 days LOL. I love that you can add nuoc mam as a sauce, and it tastes reaaaally good with tuna. I also got wasabi honey salmon, seaweed salad, crab salad, and I tried the cu cai salad. I like that they add wonton chips too. Definitely my new fav poke place in LA!

Best of the west.

If you're looking for a poke spot that doesn't skimp on quality or quantity, this is it. I picked up a bowl recently and was seriously impressed by how fresh everything tasted.

Thought this would be closer to Hawaiian poke where the fish is marinaded in sauces for hours. That could be true but the end result is nowhere close to the same. Was also excited at the prospect that this has Vietnamese influences. I love Viet food. This place tries but execution is poor. Bottom line, fish was not fresh nor at a quality that matches other poke places. The flavors were one dimensional and lacking despite bombastic descriptions on their menu. Crab salad side was the best thing of my meal. Looks great in a photo but possibly the worst poke I've had. Such a let down.

As a Viet girly, I knew I had to try the nuoc mam sauce with my poke as this was so unique. I loved it! The flavor was amazing and at first I was worried about it tasting too much like fish sauce and not pairing well, but the flavors matched together perfectly. I really liked the onions with it too. I also got the tuna with shoyu sauce and this was yummy as well. The cucumber salad was a perfect side and I especially loved the dressing it came with. I also really liked that it came with wonton chips! Definitely coming back to get the nuoc mam poke and try more things!!

Large Poke Bowl with Tuna Poke - Shoyu & Salmon Poke - Honey Wasabi. Sides Imitation Crab Salad & Seaweed Salad

Ayoooooo!!! Been looking for a place that serves Hawaiian Style Poke that is already marinated. Not the Chipotle style poke that's everywhere. Nuc Poke understood the assignment. For $19.50 you get a 1/2 lb of poke which is a steal! I got Tuna Poke - Shoyu & Salmon Poke - Honey Wasabi with sides Imitation Crab Salad & Seaweed Salad. It comes with Rice & no couple of wonton chips. Only thing is I wish they had a brick and mortar. This is an order and pick up place. If you haven't tried this place you need to go ASAP! Service was quick. Parking lot is is behind the building.

Easily the best poke I've had in LA. Every bite was packed with flavor, the fish was so fresh, and the balance was perfect. You can absolutely tell the chef knows what they're doing. Highly recommend!

Honey Wasabi Salmon, Volcano Tuna, Furikake Rice, crispy chips, seasoned cucumbers, and Seaweed Salad

I'm usually not a fan of overly-sauced poke, so I was a bit hesitant to try this spot. I decided to give it a try anyway, and I'm quite impressed with how well-balanced all the flavors were. First off, the serving sizes are very generous. I decided to try the Honey Wasabi Salmon and the Volcano Tuna. The salmon was great as the honey provided a slight sweetness to each bite and the wasabi flavor wasn't too overpowering, which I very much enjoyed. The Volcano Tuna was also a great choice, packing a pleasant kick of heat. I also liked the addition of the crispy wonton chips included. They added a much needed crunch that complimented the poke. I would highly recommend ordering an extra side of them. When you combine everything, it creates a perfectly well-balanced meal in both flavor and texture. I highly recommend giving this spot a try, and I know I'll be returning for more.

Everything tasted so fresh! I loved the bright flavor combos and the crunch textures of the cucumber salad & crispy daikon salad.

It's not a restaurant. No sitting. Maybe the food is great but I think I was misled. Drove here and realized that it's uber pickup.

Hanging out with the fam on the westside and lunch time is around the corner. Where are we going?…read more My niece has been the scout of new and great places locally and far and about. Lunchtime comes and we're near the ocean. Thought about some fresh poke. Niece knew of a place down in Redondo Beach area so we went. The place is called Jus' Poke. Upon arrival there was a line out the door. The shop is very small. One door in, one door out. Similar to an assembly line. You order, pay and you're done. There are some seats inside bar top style, and a bathroom. The fish selection is great and very fresh, Its a little inconvenient if you're planning on enjoying your meal there. I'd recommend taking it out to a park or the beach! Parking: street VERDICT: One and done

Food: My husband and I both ordered poke bowls with a mix of Hawaiian and spicy poke, along with…read moreshoyu and California roll poke. Everything tasted incredibly fresh right away, with clean flavors and a great balance of umami, savory richness, and just the right amount of spice. Each component complemented the others well, and nothing felt overly heavy or overpowering. It's easy to see why people say this is one of the most authentic poke spots in the area, the simplicity and quality really shine through. That said, personal preference-wise, I still find myself leaning toward Poke Express in Las Vegas (though to be fair, I've never been to Hawaii, so that might change one day). Price: Pricing is pretty standard for quality poke in Southern California. A regular bowl (about 1/3 lb of fish with rice and a side) typically runs around $15-17, while larger bowls can range from about $19-24 depending on portion size. Overall, expect to spend around $15-25 per person, which feels fair given the freshness and portion sizes. Ambiance: This is very much a grab‑and‑go style spot rather than a sit-down restaurant. It's located right along the street and almost always has a long line of people waiting, which tells you a lot about its popularity. Inside, there's a small bar area with a handful of high chairs, and a couple of tables outside, but seating overall is pretty limited. Not really a place to linger, more for a quick, casual bite. Service: Despite how busy it constantly is, service is efficient and straightforward. The staff keeps things moving quickly and stays organized, so even with a line, the wait doesn't feel too bad. No frills, but solid and dependable. Parking: There's a small side parking lot that can fit maybe around 10 cars, which fills up quickly during peak hours. Otherwise, you'll likely have to find street parking nearby and walk over. Not impossible, but it does take a little extra effort, especially when it's busy.

There were a couple of people before us so that gave us time to look at the menu. Our go to is the large 4 fish ($21) which was enough for my husband and I to share. The service was good and fish/toppings plentiful. The employee was patient when we asked for almost all the toppings. Love the lemon cream! The crispy onion is what keeps us coming back--a must!! The ambience is simple but clean. We ate there and could easily have a conversation. They provide iced water in a dispenser. Bathroom was clean. Parking can be tough which is a hindrance for us, but today we found a spot easily. When we left, the parking lot was bustling. We really enjoyed our poke bowl! The fish was fresh. We got salmon x2, scallops, and shrimp. For our sides, seaweed salad and crabmeat. Base was half kale/half brown rice. Almost all the toppings. We got the garlic ponzu with spicy mayo in one corner. Eel sauce was drizzled all over which I didn't prefer, but it tasted good in the end. Our tummies were happy and satisfied!

Very good poke but they keep raising the prices and decreasing the food portions. Today I spent $21…read moreplus tip for a four scoop bowl. The the woman putting my bowl together was super stingy on the base. She spread out the salad so it was literally a handful of salad. I asked for more greens and she said she would have to charge me for that. The price gouging is a little out of control now. For $21, I shouldn't have to go home and add salad to my bowl. I go mostly to the studio city location, so I'll probably route myself to that one in the future! The poke is fresh and I like the diversity of toppings you get here.
