The gals and I are out for Poke!
Danielle H.

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!

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

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! :)

5. Rainbow Bowl
Stefan C.

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.

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.

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.

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

Poke Pola hands down is the best poke place around. I have tried a handful of poke places in the…read morearea and nothing else comes close. First you get a good size portion for your bowl. You get three scopes of protein and the fish has always been good and fresh. There is a good amount of toppings to choose from, all included. (Unless you want extra scoops of crab meat and avocado). The sauces are all good, but I go with the Nirvana which has the perfect blend of flavor and spice. It is a bit pricy ($20), but it's worth it.

I went in and was greeted by a nice woman and glanced over the menu and saw it was pretty clear and direct. I ordered the regular size bowl with 3 proteins I did spicy tuna, Aji and yellowtail and then you can add as many toppings if you want, which was my favorite part of the whole experience! The sauces were also good. I think I opted for one of the basic ones and then I also ordered a bowl of miso soup. The whole transaction was pretty quick and everyone there was pleasant and nice and the price wasn't too high either. I got the food to go and ate it when I got home. The only thing I wasn't 100% into was the spicy tuna. It was like the spicy tuna you'd find in a spicy tuna roll and I was expecting ahi tuna with spicy mayo, so that was just a learning experience. The miso soup was ok, and overall I will definitely go back to this spot again. One request: I wish they had mango as a topping, but overall very enjoyable!

There were only 3 workers working during lunch rush hour and some of them seemed a little frazzled (imo). But when it was our turn to order, the servers were really helpful. My husband ordered first, then me. We had 2 different people serving us. The gentleman helping we was very generous on the protein scoop, so I was happy about that. However when it got to my toppings, he gave very little. But I was satisfied with the amount of protein he gave, because some places can be very stingy about how much they give you. I like how they have a set plate such as the Hawaiian bbq chicken and salmon bowl. They also have premade proteins such as the sweet glazed salmon or the tuna luau. They have a variety of choices. The ambiance of this location is nice. There are lots of tables and seats for you to sit and enjoy your meal. My husband and I got ours to go. When we got home, there was too much base for me. I asked for lite rice and my bowl was full of rice. And as mentioned, not enough toppings to my liking. But overall, a good poke place. Definitely a place to check out if you want a variety of selections when customizing your poke.

This is me and my eldest getaway spot when we don't want to eat what the rest of the family is eating. I usually get 3 scoops with blazing salmon and 2 scoops of regular salmon mixed with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Sooo good. The workers are very attentive and don't hesitate to answer any questions. I'm sure after a full work shift they've heard a certain question more than they'd like to answer but it never shows. They're respectful and polite and is part of the reason we keep coming back. The lobby is always so clean makes it a comfortable environment to eat in. We'll be back, we always are lol

Any Uroko Cafe chain can do it for me!…read more I love their portion size and the variety of toppings they give. It is the best bang for your buck when it comes to poke. There is a bunch of seating outside which allows you and your friends to get different cuisines but still sit together.

Solid spot for poke bowls if you're in the Cypress area!…read more I was in the area for work - and the hotel I'm staying at is right next to Uroko Poke. Have gone here twice now! It works just like any other Build-your-own Poke Bowl spot. Assembly line-style with the employee on one side and you're on the other side of the glass picking out how to dress up your poke bowl. Employees are friendly, prompt, and efficient. Bases are white rice, brown rice, salad, broccoli - the white rice here is pretty solid - moist and fluffy - not dry or old like other spots. You get your choices of up to 6 sides - I picked spicy crabmeat, regular crabmeat, seaweed salad, avocado (first scoop free), mango and pineapple. Choice of protein - pricing based by # of scoops: 2 @ $16, 3 @ $18, 5 @ $21. I got my usual 3x Salmon. The fish here is fresh, does not carry any smell, didn't taste slimy or frozen. Sauces - I went with my usual mix of sesame oil and spicy mayo. Toppings - First scoop of masago is free, and a dash of green onions completed my bowl for me. Everything tasted fresh - and when you consider that what sets the price is the # of scoops of protein - it's a pretty good deal considering the base and everything else is normal serving scoops. Lots of seating both inside the restaurant and in the outdoors dining area. I just took my order back to my hotel. Tons of free parking alongside the food court, near El Torito. The only downside is their "revamped" Rewards system. Based on the previous reviews, it used to be a punch-type system where you get the 10th bowl free. This is how a lot of the other Poke bowl spots I've gone to work. The new system really works against you. You get 1 point for every $14 or so spent - and 24 points gets you $10 off. My medium poke bowl with tax and tip came out to $20.51 - and yes, I only got 1 point. In other words, not only do you not get a free bowl even after buying over double the number of bowls needed to previously get a free bowl, but once you hit 24 points - you only get $10 off. Pretty pathetic, hence the reason I knocked off a star.

Update: corrected some info…read more If you know me, you'll know no poké place has ever topped Uroko for me. However, given that I no longer live in OC, I've made it my mission to try different poké spots in Long Beach, and so far, I haven't been impressed. Poké Bar missed the mark for me. The place is clean but seating can be kind of awkward, especially the tables along the wall. Customer service was almost nonexistent. The kid greeted us with a quiet "hi" and had airpods in the entire time. At minimum, I appreciated the fact that it was actually a build-your-own bowl. You take a slip of paper, check off boxes of whatever items you want, and leave it on the counter for them to prepare. I also appreciate that they don't charge extra for certain toppings, just the avocado. Portions are decent for the price, but taste was meh. My favorite toppings and sides include imitation crab, pineapple, masago, edamame, avocado, furukake, and crispy onions. They had a good majority of these ingredients, but it just didn't taste good. The imitation crab could've been mixed with mayo or something else that would've made it stand out more. We had a choice between seaweed salad and I think a cucumber salad. This was on me, but I should've went with the cucumber salad. I don't like how slimy the seaweed salad is and never get it with my poké. I mainly enjoyed the ahi tuna because it was fresh. I think if they added more of the sauces (think I chose their house sauce and wasabi mayo), it would've been more palatable. I'd consider trying them again if I happen to be in the area and am desperate for a bowl.

I'm really impressed with the overall quality of the seafood and I always ALWAYS enjoy watching a chef butcher entire slabs of fish. We wanted to order one of everything but we settled for the chefs crudo, the ahi tostada and some fish tacos. Let's dive in. Wink wink. The chefs crudo was the most delicious yellowtail I've ever had. Very lightly seasoned with pomegranate seeds and a sweet sauce with raw Fresno chilis and it was bangin!!!!!! The fish literally melted in my mouth and it was the cleanest freshest fish goodness I've had in a minute. Spot on, could eat four of these. Fish tacos were freshly grilled mahi mahi and it was massive flakey chunks of delicious and succulent fish. The tortilla was freshly grilled mahi and nice. The garnish of cabbage and pico hit nice. Tomatillo sauce was delish as well and added that nice acidic pop. Well done. The tostada of ahi was just stupid good. Super fresh chunks of ahi with just the right amount of sauce. Loved it and I could eat four of these too! We actually came for the collars but missed out this time. If you're feeling adventurous and getting a lil funky with your palate. Try fish collars at a fresh seafood restaurant like this. It's such an incredible experience and will change your view of fish parts for life. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was kind and helpful, we asked some questions and she went right to the kitchen to double check. Love that. This was such a tremendous dining experience and the vibes are so dope and chill. I love this place and if we move here it will be our regular shop for all things seafood. Annnnddddd they have a burger on the menu that sounds divine. Someday. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner
