I personally love this place! I'm not a pokey expert but lately I've been on such a poke kick and have tried a handful of spots. I truly feel the love in this store. Whoever helped us was so great with recommendations, the portion sizes were very generous. Yes the prices were a bit high, but you truly get what you pay for. Even when it came to wrapping up our food, it was wrapped so carefully with extra precautions to ensure nothing spilled. It's rare to find that level of love and care at most businesses. I have definitely seen this place get packed and for a reason, there's little seating inside. I highly recommend taking to go! read more

Had a big poke craving and saw this place with high reviews. Came about 45 min before closing so end of day ingredients were prob not the freshest? They do give generous portions, but we found the rice was a bit hard and seaweed topping tasted off in a too-fishy way. Our bowls were okay, but not great. Prices were a bit high, but it's poke so you don't wanna cheap out lol. Might try them again earlier in the day but also willing to try another spot. read more

Stopped by for a lunch. Service was great. She was very attentive once I walked in and throughout my ordering process. They do give nice sized portions and the fish was tasty. I appreciate the complementary miso soup that you can get if you order a bowl or burrito. Interior wasn't huge but was enjoyable to eat in. read more

Poke Ave - Regular Bowl & Miso Soup - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

I love this poke spot! It's a lil hidden, off the beaten path, but it's the only place I really enjoy getting poke! Mom & pop run it, they keep it clean & well-stocked. They truly take pride in getting the best quality ingredients & keeping the place super clean. They're always so nice when people have questions & they're verry generous with the helpings/ scoops! Since it is a mom and pop shop, they do close earlier than other places, but it's definitely worth your time. It's in a shopping mart with ample parking. They offer miso soup with the poke bowl, they have a variety of drinks, & now they even serve ramen. Everyone we've brought here has absolutely loved this place as much as we do! read more

I am a poke lover but my bowl here was disappointing. The rice was cold and hard. The salad tasted unwashed. The topping options do not appear that fresh and you can especially taste it. I couldn't finish my bowl, specifically my tuna because it felt suspicious in my mouth. The crab meat is very dry, chunky, doesn't separate that easy. They limit the amount of toppings you get depending on the size you order. The bowls are very pricey for said limitations. The bowl was overall very dry and lacking flavor. I got ponzu sauce but it tasted like there was nothing on it. One good thing I'll say is they serve very generous portions with the specific toppings or proteins you can order depending on the size bowl you get. Ordered a strawberry watermelon drink, it was not good. Tasted very artificial with a lot of cut up strawberries in it that didn't fix the artificial taste, I couldn't finish it. The best way I can describe the drink is like a boba fruit tea that had been sitting out all day in the sun with too much syrup. Another benefit is the parking isn't bad here and there's 2 designated spots for parking for customers here. read more

My husband and I were craving poke while we were in the North Orange County area and found our way over to Poke Ave. There was a lot of selection in terms of items required to build one's bowl, pricing was fair for the generous portions, and service was friendly. As first time diners, the establishment left a great first impression. Poke Ave is located off of Imperial Highway in Brea and can be found in a small shopping strip. There is free parking for customers shared among the other businesses. My husband and I both ordered poke bowls; a regular size and large size, respectively. The proteins were fresh and of good quality. The lady assembling the bowl was extremely generous with all of the fixings. We had a delicious lunch that definitely filled us up. Their Garlic Lemon Creamy sauce paired nicely with my salad-based bowl. We are adding Poke Ave to our list of places to stop if we're craving poke in the area. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Poke Ave - Regular poke Regular Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Me and my wife came to eat here for lunch. We had a great conversation with the owner who does all the work without any employees. Service was fast. Food was great and relatively cheap. Inflation is causing everything to go up but it is still $16 for a poke bowl here. She didn't not raise prices for at least 2 years judging from the pictures of the menu on yelp despite prices being raised on her to run the place. Everyone who loves fresh poke should support this local small business and give it a try! read more

Went here for a quick lunch break on an in-office day and it was a decent experience. It's your typical poke spot where you go down the line choosing what you want in your bowl. Service was quick and you even get free miso soup for your poke bowl order, which was great!! The miso soup was tasty, really enjoyed it. As for the poke bowl, pretty decent portion. I got the regular (3 scoops), which had a good amount of fish (salmon and tuna). I got the Loco ll, which was okay. I think it's sriracha base? Not entirely sure but wasn't a fan, I ended up dousing my bowl with soy sauce. I did get the wasabi mayo on the side, I should have honestly just got that to be my main sauce. Next time tho. A cool and unique thing this place has is you can make your own ramen. Kinda like a ramen convenience store, you choose your ramen and they have hot water for you to enjoy it. They have all kinds of different ramen to choose from. This is one of the more decent poke spots around OC, I recommend and I'd be back again during my lunch breaks. read more

It was my first time here. Service is not great if you're new. Rude. Service 1/5 Food 3.5/5 Food was good but I love poke spots that let me order unlimited toppings Story: It was a lady at the front, I assume the owner reading the other comments. Wasn't really greeted welcome. I was looking at the menu above on the wall, I asked if I can see the size of the bowls & she said it's all the same. I said what do you mean, she said just less scoop.. all other poke shops I've been too had different bowl sizes so this took me by surprise. She said small is this much scoop and I said okay, how much is it (cause it wasn't on the wall menu) she pointed at the glass window in front of me & said it's right there. I thought that was rude like how am I supposed to read and scan everything, I've been reading the board. She seemed to just want me out. She said sides, I picked all of them like I normally do & she said you only get x amount and I'm like wow okay.. I paid, got my water cup & sat down. It was just bizarre customer service. Then when I assume regulars who came in cause they knew how to order, she had a smile on, she said welcome & thank you! She said if you just come here it's cheaper than ordering online I'll make it fast. It was like she was a different person lol I hope she treats others who don't know how to order there with more respect. There's another poke spot near by so next time I will be going there instead. read more

Poke Ave - Poke Regular Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Most delicious poke spot, I've been coming here for years and I always forget to add a review because I devour the bowl too quickly and realize when I'm almost done hahaha.

Best tasting Poke in North Orange County Excellent service from a family owned business that survived the pandemic because of the quality. Chill environment inside with a good air conditioner and air filter . You won't be disappointed! read more

My favorite Poke spot in OC. The food here is always fresh and delicious, and the price is fair for the quantity and quality of food. I appreciate the variety of sauces, protein, and toppings they offer. They also include a complimentary cup of miso soup with the purchase of a bowl. Not only is the food delicious but the service is amazing here, the owner is very friendly and extremely helpful. I've mentioned that I'm going to the grocery store before dinner and she carefully wrapped my bowl with an ice pack to ensure it remains fresh. The restaurant itself is not very big but there are a few tables available so you can eat inside. I haven't tried anything else to be honest but only because their poke is so good. Must try! read more

My husband and I were craving some poke for lunch, so we headed to this shop after hearing great things about it. We were so happy to find it lived up to the hype! We even chatted with the owner, who shared that she's the sole person keeping the restaurant running. She handchopps all the fish and prepares all the ingredients herself. The freshness of the ingredients is amazing, and the owner still manages to offer a great price for a three-protein poke bowl. We were so full and satisfied with the amount of fish in the bowl! Next time you're in the area, please consider supporting this small business for some delicious poke! read more

Wow, just wow! I am so glad I tried Poke Ave! I am always looking for good Poke places and this is probably my new favorite. From the moment I walked in they were friendly and fast. The quality of the fish was great, all the ingredients were tasty. The mix of sauces they recommended was absolutely perfect. I loved the little shop vibe of the place, very clean. They don't push you to get a drink, offered a water cup right away. I got the regular sized bowl and I sat in the restaurant they gave me a free Miso. Which was not so surprisingly amazing also! To top it off I had some left overs, the woman asked me if I was able to get in refrigerated right away, I am not I drive for work, she gave me an ice pack for my food so it doesn't so bad. I am so thankful. Thank you for the amazing customer service and food. I can't wait to come back. read more

Was in the neighborhood picking up some food for the family and as usual everyone wants something different. Last stop before I brought lunch back home was this new restaurant that serves my daughter's favorite...POKE . There was designated parking just for the restaurant,which was cool . The restaurant was very clean and all the food not only looked fresh but was delicious! The staff was super helpful and friendly especially since it was my first time there. The service was great and fast and the price was fair. I definitely will be coming back! read more

After months of visiting this plaza weekly for my kid, I recently decided to stop in and give it a shot. So glad I did because my bowl was delicious.

Poke Ave - $13.50 off menu discount bowl - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

I no longer recommend this place. My husband and I ordered our usual poke bowls online and there were many ingredients missing (spicy mayo, eel sauce, furikake, sesame seeds and much more). The miso soup was FOUL. I'm utterly shocked because we truly used to love this place. The worst part is my husband had food poisoning for 2 DAYS after eating his poke bowl (which contained salmon and tuna). He said the tuna tasted off. When we asked for a refund, we were only given $10 back on a $55 order. Not to mention, the owner tied the to go bag at checkout so I didn't notice the missing ingredients until I was home. She then drilled me 5 times that I shouldn't order online, I should order in person. I'm beyond disappointed because we used to love eating the food here but I will never eat here again and recommend people avoid this spot. read more

The costumer service was great. We were welcome as we entered and helped right away. The restaurant has seating inside and it was very clean. The food was delicious and fresh. Everything was great. The only negative was we prefer to wash our hands before we eat. They do not have a restroom for their costumers to use only hand sanitizers on the table. read more

Delicious poke! We love the options and quality. The owner is super friendly too. We will continue to get poke here for sure!

Omg?! The service was above and beyond. I placed an order for pickup it was ready super quick, the woman who gave me the order was so nice. I got home and opened the bag. She put a homemade ice pack in the bag the consideration for keeping the food fresh. The food was delicious, definitely the best poke I've had in OC. The old place I used to go to closed down and since I just moved back I've been on the hunt. 100/10 please go to Poke Ave. read more

Poke Ave - Build your own Poke Bowl (5 scoops of protein) - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Poke is always a good idea First time trying their food! Why did I wait so long?! Protein: Tuna, Octopus, Salmon (Fresh & Firm) Toppings I picked: Crab Meat, seaweed salad, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, edamame. Additional toppings I picked: Furikake, Nori Their Eel sauce and Spicy Mayo sauce is so tasty! Perfect for mixing with your fish and drizzled on top. Not a big fan of their Miso Soup. Dylan had great customer service! I'd definitely come back! read more

My fiance and I had a very bad experience. We came here because of the high rating. Definitely disappointed. Fish was awful and not fresh.

This is the best Poke restaurant around! I've been coming here for years, and the food has always been excellent! Nice environment, very clean, and exceptional customer service! read more

Disappointed with the service I received from this place. The lady at the counter was rude and came off annoyed. came in with high expectations but left with a bitter taste in my mouth. the poke was average. last time I'll go there. read more

My office is nearby so my coworkers and I stop by to pick up lunch quite often. It's in a pretty small plaza but we've never had trouble finding parking. We actually almost always park right in front of their door each time we go! The same two people are behind the counter every time and they're always extremely friendly. When I say they give you big portions, I mean it. They're extremely generous with their serving sizes, from the add-ons to the fish. The amount of avocado they give you is almost half of a whole avocado. The fish is always fresh and they give you BIG scoops. Then, they offer you a free miso soup! I can confidently say that this place started out as "the poke spot closest to work" but it's now one of my absolute favorites! read more

Poke Ave - a bowl of food on a table - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

I don't usually leave reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was so horrible that it motivated me to write one. The moment I walk in, there's a middle aged woman standing there staring at me without any proper greetings. Since she was just standing in front of me and staring, I felt pressured to order right away without getting a moment to read the menu and when I tried to ask questions, such as the bowl size (how was I supposed to know that all the bowls are the same size? Actually read another negative review about this) and additional toppings, she gave me an attitude when answering and always added "it says it on the sign right there" at the end, basically telling me just read the sign instead of bothering her. It's my first time at the restaurant and I'm sorry I didn't have the entire menu and additional signs memorized in my head. Maybe if she gave me a moment to breathe and read the menu and look at all the toppings when I first walked in instead of being on top of me to order so that she can go back inside to sit and chill, I wouldn't have to bother her at all by asking any questions. I felt so uncomfortable the entire time I was ordering and my husband who was with me said he also felt intimidated and uncomfortable by that lady's attitude. In fact, we felt so uncomfortable that we didn't even want to eat inside. We took the food and ate it outside. The food didn't even taste that good. It was very bland... I've definitely had better poke bowls before. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for us to go back there ever again. read more

As much as I love poke, this place unfortunately gave me the runs. It came with free miso soup and the place didn't have an off smell but something in the bowl was tainted. read more

It was our first time here. The lady was nice to me but seemed impatient to my friends. I got the regular bowl with spicy salmon. For the sauce, I got spicy mayo and the 911. I don't know if it's because of the stuff I got but it tasted kind of sour, which was a bit weird. Also, the regular bowl came with a miso soup but it was also sour. It wasn't bad at all but I don't think I'll be going back since the flavoring was throwing me off. read more

Poke Ave - Regular salmon - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

The customer service. The lady yelled at me because I did not follow her instructions. I ordered ramen first time there you have to make your own soup. They have these ramen machines. All I understood was add water so I got water from the wrong place and she was like what are you doing??? I said press number 2! Did you put the seasoning in??? Totally caught me off guard. I have never been talked to like that by a business owner. So that was my experience. The poke was ok. Ramen is from a bag like top ramen but they have lots of choices. Won't be going back read more

Lovely experience chatting with the owner and sharing experiences with her. She's kind and the food is awesome. Fresh, well prepared, and the portion is generous. Would gladly come back for my local poke fix. read more

Decided to try this place on the way home from work since the doctor I work with recommended it and I wanted to try something different than our usual poke place by our house. It was just ok. I got a small (2 protein, 4 toppings, and then an add'l 2 other toppings at the end) for $13.50. The size was perfect for me bc they don't give you a lot for your base. I just wasn't impressed with the taste. The brown rice was super dry, as was the crabmeat. Something was super salty and I couldn't tell if it was the spicy tuna, crabmeat or the masago which none of them really should be. The lady wasn't super friendly either tbh. I commented how they have small bowls (bc I didn't know they had that option) and she started to tell me how the bowls are the same size and I finished her sentence for her abt the amount of protein since she seems to say it a lot to ppl based on these reviews. Anyway, I tried it and I decided I'll either stick with our neighborhood poke place or keep looking for a new one! read more

Bad service. I was being rushed when ordering and given attitude. On top of that the fish wasn't fresh and got sick afterwards.
