Picked my own bowl.
Myrchalyn A.

It was easy finding the place but finding parking was difficult!=( The octopus is delicious , I recommend it. Service was good and my bowl was made fast. I just wish they gave more protein like other Pokémon spots.

The gals and I are out for Poke!

This place makes me laugh! Upon entering, you'll automatically get this Asian feel with all the pandas and bamboo decor. Then your eyes start to wander towards the walls because of the interesting artwork made by their guests and scotched taped to the walls. If you look up, you will be transported to ROME! I love it. It's totally a part of their charm. They were really generous with the amount of Poke and toppings. I got free miso soup and my avocado cuts were just the right consistency. The workers were helpful when I didn't know what toppings to put in my bowl. They reminded me that I wanted crispy onions!! I'm coming back!

Poke bowl

Been here twice and the customer service, food portions, and taste is excellent! They offer a variety of sides to put into the bowl and the sauces are bomb. Love the goma and ponzu!!

5 stars, well deserved and earned! :) At first glance it's your standard Poke place, but I was really impressed at the quality and portions vs. price! I came in with my son and figured we would share a large bowl - 4 protein options and whatever you want down the line. They were generous with the protein portions, and it was under $20 with tip for the bowl - and it was enough for both of us to eat well! The ambiance is nice and clean, no fishy smell or anything off putting. The seating is limited, it may get packed at lunch time, no idea, but you're also at the end of Main St., just go walk to the beach and enjoy. ;) I'd most certainly eat here again, and if you like Poke I'd certainly give this place a safe thumbs up! :)

Panda Poke has very fresh and generous poke bowls. We have visited here many times and always leave satisfied. I think their pricing is fair as well. Service is fast and efficient and the place is kept very clean.

5. Rainbow Bowl

Randomly walking around Seal Beach, I came across this place. I looked it up on Yelp and noticed how good the reviews were, so I decided to give it a go. When I opened the door, there were two people there ready to help and a third one came out with enthusiasm and hospitality. It took me a few minutes to decide what I want, but I settled on the Rainbow Bowl. I added Ponzu sauce and asked for Chili Oil and Spicy Mayo on the side. Upon my first bite, I could tell this place used fresh ingredients. Every bite took me back to Hawaii. The staff consistently checked to make sure we were enjoying the food. I also liked that they had a self-serve water station. It's not a large place but they had enough seating for a few small groups. It has its own parking lot which is useful because it is close to the beach where parking options are slim and almost always taken. If I'm in the area again, this is one place I'll consider for some fresh poke.

Very friendly server great food! And cute vibe :))))I definitely recommend you guys amazing price as well!

3 scoop for $13. Great selection of items and toppings. Portions were phenomenal. Service was extremely fast and kind. Special note: salmon today was so buttery. Melted in your mouth. That gave it the 5 star!

3. Hawaiian Bowl
Noah B.

Spectacular food and incredible service. I forgot my wallet on the table and they came and found me across the street to return it to me 15 minutes later. Give these guys business, they're awesome

3 scoop bowl
Jenn S.

Soooooo gewdddd! Seared tuna and spicy salmon is delicious. Really good portions. I'll be a regular from now on!

custom bowl 3 salmon
Christine Q L.

food 4.8/5 service 5/5 crazy good and cheap poke for 2025. $13.95 for 3 scoops of protein. i did all the toppings except jalapeño and avocado the only thing i would change is to have the sauces mixed into the proteins but they put it on top. this place is different because they have fresh ingredients and the price is decent. highly recommended

At the counter
Chad K.

We loved the different ingredient options like jicama, mango, cilantro, and jalapeños. It gave a refreshing pop to the standard topping flavor profile of edamame, wasabi, ginger and corn. Also, what a value! A full 3-scoop protein bowl was only $13.95. Hard to find that in other Poke businesses right now. We loved our food and would definitely come back!

I loved it so much I went back after shortly so I definitely recommend this spot for you acai fix. It's in a chill parking center so it's easy to find parking and everything. As for their bases on why I would pick other acai spots is that their bases have cane syrup and tapioca syrup. Therefore the quality isn't the best and more unhealthy. But if you don't mind that, it doesn't matter haha.

Well, I had a weekday afternoon off of work, so I made the most of that afternoon by stopping by Marina Cafe to try a drink. Marina Cafe is located on Main St close to the Seal Beach pier. When I was driving down on Main St, I was surprised to see a handful of empty parking stalls, which allow for up to 2 hours of free parking there. I found a spot just a few doors north of the cafe. There are a few signs in front of the cafe that don't necessarily say Marina Cafe, so one could easily miss it while walking on the west side of Main St. Just know that it's next to Cold Stone Creamery, which is closest to the pier. Marina Cafe is a pretty small cafe. So small that inside, there's only one table for two between the two front doors. However, there are a couple of tables outside: one that seats two, and one that seats four. When i arrived, there wasn't anybody inside to greet me. I studied the menu for a little while before Emma came out to assist me. I asked her a handful of questions about the menu like which drinks were caffeinated and which drinks were on the non-sweeter side. She mentioned that she was willing to make certain drinks less sweet, like a smoothie. The Large is only $1 more than a Medium, or 50 cents more if you take into consideration my Fivestars reward, and when I saw the cup sizes on the front counter, I discerned that the Large would be the better buy. Which smoothie did I get? The Cookies & Cream, which would have been around $8 if not for Fivestars, and it could have been made less sweet like I alluded to in the previous paragraph. Before I could even ask how long the wait would be, Emma said it'd be just a few minutes. It was about five minutes before she had my drink ready on the pickup counter, and that even included her ringing up another customer and making their drink as well; our drinks were ready at the exact same time. The Cookies & Cream Smoothie had cookie crumbles on top, but I was given a regular straw instead of a boba straw. A few of the crumbles were pretty large and couldn't fit inside the straw, so I had to scoop them up like a spoon. There wasn't a whole lot of cookies & cream flavor in the smoothie, though I can't say I was expecting there to be since I did mention to her I wanted something less sweeter than the norm. Didn't think Cookies & Cream could be *that* bland, but nevertheless, it did the trick for me after working more hours than usual. Location was great too. Since it was so close to the Seal Beach pier, I got to walk on the pier while sipping on the smoothie, though I spent about 15 minutes inside the cafe enjoying the soft and slow music, which eased up some of the tension that had been building up in me. There was a bit of a language barrier between me and Emma. Otherwise, decent service overall. I appreciate how helpful she was and how she made a conscientious effort to make my smoothie as sugar free as can be. They have a handful of portraits on the wall showing photos of their menu offerings. So maybe if you have absolutely no idea what you want, one idea is to point randomly on the wall! lol Even though I didn't enjoy the smoothie as much as I hoped, I'll happily give 4 stars for Emma's helpful service as well as the relaxing atmosphere both inside and at the nearby pier. I doubt I'd pay full price, but if I get another Fivestars reward in the near future, I'll definitely consider a return visit.

They are located at the Los Altos Shopping Center. Plenty of parking at the front. Just an fyi there is also some parking on the other side of Trader Joe's. I didn't know this at first, but Pur Bowls share the same biz space as Nguyen's Kitchen. Two in one! Cool!! Exterior has a couple tables and some chairs. Interior has a bit more seating. Simple decor with bright lights. You'll have to walk straight in and right to order. I was greeted immediately with a smile and nice welcome upon entry. Thank you young lady! They have their house-created favorites such as Amazon, Cacao, Mango Chamoy, Dragon, Green Goodness, Island, Tropical, and Very Berry Bowls or you may build your own (BYO) acai or fruit bowl. BYO works like this... you choose a size (12 oz $11, 16 oz $13, 24 oz $15 (this is a steal!), select up to two bases (acai, pitaya, matcha, coconut, cacao, and selective fruits), then fill the bowl with the toppings you want. You pay for the size you want, not for each topping that fits inside the bowl. Bases are made without cane sugar and granolas are certified gluten free. I went with the BYO 16 oz option. I was tempted to get the 24 oz for an extra $2, but I didn't. Now that I think back, I should have gone BIG. I know better next time. Anyway, got the coconut and mango bases plus a whole lot of toppings that filled the bowl to the top. It was so refreshingly good and delicious. Love the natural flavors all around from bases to toppings. Thank you Pur Bowls! Btw, this LB location opens until 1 AM daily. Come get you some acai bowl while burning the midnight oil! I'll sure to be back the next time when I'm in the LB area.

I went into javatinis since it was right there and I felt bad about just asking for a water without paying so I ordered an iced latte (even though I don't care for their drinks). After I had already paid, I asked them politely for an iced water. They said they would have to charge. I was like "what? Even though I paid for a drink?" And the girl said "yes we charge for the cost of the cup." So pathetic. So I walked over to bogarts fully expecting to have to pay for something else I didn't need just to get an iced water for my toddler. The girl at bogarts, without hesitation, gave me an iced water. I said "are you sure? I can buy a muffin or something" she said "seriously it's no problem." And because of that, I went back a few hours later to get an iced chai, and now bogarts is the only coffee shop we'll give our money to every week in seal beach. Funny how not being cheap and a penny pincher with your paying customers will benefit you in the long run. Javatinis could learn a thing or two from them... I tell all of my seal beach family and friends to only go to bogarts from now on.
