We discovered this place while traveling in Santa Monica and craving poke, and it turned out to be…read morea nice surprise! There are lots of choices and great selections to build your own bowl. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and healthy, and I love having the flexibility to pick exactly what I want. We're not big eaters, so we shared an order, which usually was plenty for us. However, the portion was on the smaller side, and even though we usually don't need much food, this time it left us wanting a little more as it's very tasty. They also offer a student discount, which is a nice touch for helping out the starving students. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was youthful and trendy. The seating isn't the most comfortable, but then again, you're not really expected to settle in for hours like you would at a café. Grab your poke, enjoy your meal, and keep the adventure going! Overall, a great find when you're craving fresh, flavorful poke.

We came to Santa Monica Seafood for a birthday dinner, and it couldn't have been a better choice…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The oysters and salmon were especially memorable--about as fresh as seafood gets. We ended up ordering far more than we probably should have, but it gave us a chance to sample a good cross-section of the menu. We started with a half dozen oysters and the mussels before moving on to the branzino, cioppino, and Yukon potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the portions were generous enough that we brought more than half of our entrées home for another meal. I'd only been to the seafood market once before, but this dinner reminded me that there's much more to this place than buying fresh fish. Since I work nearby, I've already decided to make Friday stops part of my routine so I can pick up fresh seafood for dinner on the way home. Would we come back? Absolutely. Whether you're looking for an outstanding seafood meal or fresh fish to take home, Santa Monica Seafood is well worth the visit.

Both the guy and the girl were incredibly friendly, professional, patient and helped us 3 get exactly what we wanted. I went with a large (4 scoops) poke bowl and my two friends each had a medium. The key element for every single poke shop is the freshness of the ingredients, and this place was no exception. Both the protein and the veggies were as fresh as they could be, chopped/minced/cut to perfection and with a great presentation. The actual store was clean, quiet, and a perfect place to eat a calm lunch. Then we had some of their mochi (there were only two flavors left) which were pretty good. 10/10. Highly recommended place.

Everyone was dismissive. Let me repeat it. Everyone was dismissive. They leave their fish in a fridge over night I can taste the difference of fresh and bad quality... how come it's not fresh? but again service was nothing but horrible. I'd recommend going to sweet fin. Sweet fin provides much more quick and efficient service allowing you to come and go. Bunch of options and the area is nice. Summer is around the corner and it's going to end soon and poke me is off everyone's list including mine. Pictures look great but let's talk about consistency. Been a regular signed up for loyal zoo and even decided to give this location a try after my previous one. Very poor My experience can not be made up and I've concluded my experience and hope everyone reframes from spending money at this business!! Those who leave good reviews most likely are affiliated to the buisness or hasn't seen or wanted to experiment any other poke shop. Go to sweet fin. Be aware of this place. I called the store but nobody answered. 0/10 stars.

I got salmon, hamachi, and chutoro. All of it was sooo good. Zero fishiness. Every piece was plump and firm with clean cuts, not broken up or mushy, and it had that clean, slightly sweet taste fresh fish should have. I'm normally put off by the aftertaste of tuna, even at expensive omakase, but this chutoro had none of that and I could actually appreciate the flavor of the fish. What surprised me most was the California rolls. They're massive, rolled perfectly, and actually packed with filling. What made my meal was taking a slice, putting a piece of my sashimi on top, and eating it together. Basically a cracked out rainbow roll for a fraction of the price. The crab roll was solid too. I was surprised I could get a roll with real crab at that price. Service was super friendly and store was clean. I really can't wait till I'm back in SoCal. This was worth every penny!

The kids bowls are pretty bare bowls as far as Poké goes, just a base of fish and rice with a standard two toppings that they don't usually let you swap.

It's a modern counter-service setup in terms of ordering at the register, grabbing a table, and they bring your bowl out shortly after. Each time I've dined here, the fish seems fresh, the toppings plentiful with plenty of combinations. You can build your own bowl or choose from their curated options. In my experiences, the customer service has been consistent and adequate...nothing overly memorable, but friendly enough and more importantly, the food arrives quickly. One bonus: they're on the inKind app, so you can save a little money on your visits (always appreciated on Abbot Kinney prices!) Rumor has it the menu is getting an upgrade after the holidays and I'm looking forward to going back to see what new offerings they roll out. A great neighborhood spot when you want something fresh and easy!

You actually get a generous amount of fresh fish and a wide range of toppings that feel intentional, not thrown on. The quality is clear in the taste. Everything is clean, well-balanced, and doesn't feel overly salty or heavy like a lot of quick poke spots. It eats like a full, satisfying meal without leaving you sluggish afterward. What stands out most is the value. In Westwood, most places cut corners on portion size or quality, but this place does neither. You get a bowl that is genuinely filling and consistent every time. It is the kind of spot that becomes an easy default because you know exactly what you are getting: fresh ingredients, solid portions, and a meal that actually feels worth the price.

Parking might be difficult, but there are plenty neighborhoods you can drive around and if you're blessed, there is a parking lot next to the shop that isn't valet. The chefs (also servers) were extremely nice and with the shop being so small it was convenient getting their attention for extra napkins, sauces, etc. If you're looking for good food, without the pressure of committing to one restaurant, check out Daruma for a quick bite!

I'm usually pretty skeptical when it comes to ordering sushi online, because sometimes it's Hit or Miss, but this was really fresh. I subbed the roll for a snow crab roll, and it did not disappoint.

Everything was fresh from the potato salad to the salad to the chicken karate. The spicy tuna rice crackers were good as well. I would definitely order from this place again!

It's a great place to post up with a laptop for a few hours, whether you're answering emails or pretending to be productive while people-watching on Main Street. If I lived in the neighborhood, I could easily see myself coming here all the time. Between the good food, friendly staff, and comfortable outdoor seating, it's the kind of place that quietly becomes part of your weekly routine.
