    I have had a delicious treat for the night and it filled me up like a full-course meal. The suchi are fulfilling dispute the size it does a great job filling once hunger. I recommend a bit of everything because it's possible to eat it all. The place is clean and the service is fast.

    Hawaiian Salmon HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    This is the best Poke spot from Ladera to Irvine. HANDS DOWN. The food is so fresh, the Hawaiian salmon was delicious. The owner is so awesome. But the food. High quality. Super yummmy. Loved it and making this the usual rotation poke spot.

    A lil pricey for rice balls, but it was good to give them a try. They have a few high top tables inside, which can accommodate up to 10 people, but it seemed like they were pretty popular for takeout. After ordering, it does take a bit of time to prep. I think we waited about 30 minutes for our food to arrive. We tried a little bit of everything with an order of the Quartet ($16.59): - 2x KBBQ Prime Beef; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Teriyaki Salmon; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Tuna Mayo; $4.99 a la carte The rice ball size is pretty big and seasoned with furikake seasoning, but they aren't packed very well. After the first bite, the onigiri will fall apart, so keep a spoon handy. Beef and tuna were good, but the salmon teriyaki fell flat. 1) why is the salmon teriyaki so saucy 2) husband kept saying it was chicken teriyaki lol When I think of poke, I think of the protein, sauce and toppings all mixed together before setting on base. However, everything was assembled as layers and they were a bit heavy handed on sauce. The bottom of my bowl felt a lil soupy, so I'd opt to get sauce on the side next time. This was my order for a 3-protein poke bowl ($14.99): - Base: Brown Rice & Salad - Protein: 2x salmon and 1x hawaiian salmon - Sauce: Ponzu, Spicy Mayo and House (you can choose up to 3) - Toppings: cucumber, masago, seaweed, pickled jalapeno, cherry tomatoes (you can choose 5) - Crunchies: furikake and nori Overall, it was nice to check it out, but it won't be our first choice for this type of cuisine.

    Saw this place listed number one on my recommended list. Ended up taking a night drive with my wife from 15 minutes down the road wanting to try this place out. Initially came for the onigiri because why not? But came in for a classic poke bowl, can't go wrong with it. This place is called ONIGURU after all, so don't forget to get a side or onigiri. Love the play on wordsand love the atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was great. In the picture: Left: Poke Bowl (S) Double Spicy Tuna and Hawaiian Salmon with masago, crab meat, fried onions, and seaweed flakes. House Sauce, Ponzu, Spicy Mayo Right: Poke Bowl (S) Spicy Tuna, Hawaiian Tuna, Hawaiian Salmon with masago, scallions, fried onions, seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, chili flakes. Spicy Mayo, House, Teriyaki, Sesame Oil Definitely willing to come back for multiple orders of onigiri

    First time we tried Oniguru and my daughter Loved it. We ordered quartet with beef, tuna, salmon and shrimp and the boba milk tea. Thank you. Will recommend to friends.

    OniGuru, as the name would imply, sells Japanese onigiri as well as rice bowls and poke. However, I was primarily interested in the onigiri, as we don't have many options in this side of OC. My sister and I both tried the tuna mayo, KBBQ, crab salad, and teriyaki salmon. Tuna Mayo (2.5/5) was decent, but a little disappointing. I was excited to try this flavor, since it was my favorite during my trip to Japan. I think that there wasn't enough mayo and the tuna didn't taste as fresh. KBBQ (3/5) was about what I expected. Good, but I probably would not order it regularly. Crab salad and teriyaki salmon (4/5) were the best flavors, in my opinion. I gobbled these two for brunch. They were creamy, and full of flavor. I love onigiri and I'm so happy that we finally have an onigiri place in south OC. With a few tweaks, I think that this can easily be part of my regular food rotation whenever I'm in town.

    Oniguru is hands down one of my favorite finds! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared--especially the onigiri, which is next-level delicious. But what really made my visit special was Zeynep. From the moment I walked in, she welcomed me with warmth and genuine care. Her energy, attention to detail, and clear passion for hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Zeynep is the kind of person who turns a great meal into an unforgettable visit. I'll absolutely be coming back--partly for the amazing food, but just as much to see her again. Oniguru is lucky to have her!

    One of the few places open late in the area which I really appreciate. Had the Onigiri quartet. Due to smaller size ended up getting 2 orders. Tried the salmon and kbbq. Salmon had better flavor since kbbq was very bland. But tbh both were just ok in terms of taste and consistency. Rice ball didnt hold up well and wish it was stickier or toasted. Overall for the price its a bit lacking. But service was friendly and offered indoor seating. 3 stars.

Reasonable price for all of this for just under $45 dollars. We sat outside, so inside we did not get to look all that well. But seemed cozy inside to eat too. The decor was pretty nice too.

Perfect for a cold winter day and we both really enjoyed it. Poke is excellent, the fish is very fresh and I loved the sauce it's served with! We also got some oysters which were a great deal for only $1.50 each, and they were so good! I'm always hesitant with oysters but these were very tasty and fresh! Would definitely get them again. Our favorite item was the tempura shrimp, literally would get an order for each person next time it was that good!! The garlic wings were good too, on our next visit we need to try more of the small bites for happy hour because everything we got was great! For our mains we got the clam steamers and a seafood cioppino. The clam steamers were good and served alongside fries and some tasty bread for dipping. The cioppino wasn't our favorite but we were full from so many tasty things we didn't even mind. Service was fairly quick for how packed they were, literally every table both inside and outside the store were full because everyone was coming for the happy hour. We got a bit of pushback when we asked for a takeout container for the cioppino we didn't eat because staff assumed we wanted to get our happy hour food to go which is not allowed. Once we explained that the 3 happy hour items we ordered were all consumed and cleared from the table and that we wanted the takeout contained for our cioppino, they gave us the box. They also appear to be dog friendly as there were several pups in the outdoor dining area:) We will definitely be back and can't wait to try some new yummy items!

My husband and I decided to do a date night along with our dog, Suki. We walked over to Poke Co. They have an outside patio and we went to check out the menu. We ordered the small poke bowl with white rice, salmon and tuna, cucumbers, avocado, green onions, crispy fried onions, ginger, poke sauce, dragons breath sauce, and the mango habanero sauce. I also ordered the kids 2-tender combo meal. Instead of tenders they gave us boneless wings which was fine. I had also asked for a side of ranch and extra packets of soy sauce. We got the poke bowl first and the wings came out shortly afterwards. The poke was fresh and I enjoyed the toppings we chose. The wings were super crunchy and delicious. I can see why they get busy during lunch hours. They have less people stopping by around dinner but it's still pretty good. If you enjoy poke and wings, this is the spot. Service was great and we enjoyed sitting on the patio with Suki. They even gave me an extra bowl so I could give my dog some water. 5 stars.

When you order, you can choose raw poke, or if you don't eat raw fish, they also have teriyaki or cooked chicken rice bowls, that way is nice because there are options for everyone. I ordered a bowl with white rice, salmon, tuna, green beans, carrots, wasabi, mixed vegetables, and The Poke Co. sauce. I like having a lot of different flavors together, and everything mixed really well. The fish tasted fresh and the sauce added a nice flavor. The service was very nice and friendly. They were not rude or disrespectful at all. They are doing a great job. The ambiance is nice with a lot of glass walls, so it feels open and bright with a good view. I really enjoyed my food and I would definitely come back again.

I've had lunch here twice now since my office is nearby, and after searching for the past year for a go-to spot, I can confidently say I've found it. The space is clean, welcoming, and comfortable, exactly what you want when you're stepping out for a quick but satisfying lunch. The food? Consistently delicious. The sashimi is fresh and clean, with that perfect melt-in-your-mouth quality. The chicken teriyaki is also very good, flavorful, tender, and generously portioned. And the lunch combo is the real standout: about $14 gets you your entrée plus miso soup, salad, and rice. In this area, that price simply can't be beat. On top of that, sushi chef Luke is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Great service makes a big difference, and he absolutely delivers. It's clear they care about both the food and the customer experience. Amazing value, fresh food, friendly service ! We need more places like this.

Nothing amazing but good to satisfy your sushi cravings if you are on a budget.

There are some outdoor seatings and indoor seatings available. The service is prompt, efficient, and very friendly. My orders are always ready upon arrival. Usually in less than 10 minutes, if that. I super appreciate their sense of urgency. Now the food itself is also something noteworthy in my opinion. The chicken and avocado salad came with generous portions of perfectly ripe and sliced avocados. The salad dressing was something I didn't expect I enjoy so much. I am hooked! Please sell them by the gallons! I will buy it weekly! The avocado rolls also came with very generous portions of perfectly ripe avocados. Not a blemish in sight and very fresh and tasty. I actually ended up getting full just eating them by itself first. The grilled salmon bento is a must order. I loved how the salmon was cooked. The sauce wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. I am glad I ordered mine with extra avocado. It made for a very filling meal. The dumplings were also delicious and the 4-pc California rolls were such a nice contrasting side kick. The salad came with their wonderful dressing too! I didn't expect the accompanying soup complimenting the meal so perfectly. The best $20 something meal I spent in awhile! I am looking forward to revisiting again this week and trying out their other menu items. The location is right off of 5 Freeway exit and in the same shopping center as Target and Kona Loa Coffee which makes for a really good spot to get food from on-the go.
