    Regular Poke (3 Protein)

    Everything taste great, very balanced and fresh. Their 911 sauce is VERY spicy! Which is perfect. Great service the portion is very generous for the price. The place is clean, smells nice, not too big!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Found this place while on an appointment. Service and food were great! Not a regular poke guy, the staff was helpful with recommendations. Everything was fresh.

    We love this Poke spot! Literally, the best and the owner Katie really cares about her customers! The sauces are amazing we did sesame oil, ponzu and Loco 1 (mild) with spicy mayo on top!

    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.

    We stopped in on our way home out of town and were very happy with the choice. Very yummy and fresh! Great portions and customer service

    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!

    Regular Poke Bowl

    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. They also offer free miso soup with a regular or large bowl and the owners are lovely people! Definitely recommend this spot.

The restaurant has a very nice classy, lounge vibe that is very classic steakhouse with lots of leather and wood all around which is my kind of place and the staff are super attentive and friendly which elevated the experience. Started off with some grilled oysters which had a wonderful smokey flavor while keeping its creamy texture. Next came the wonderfully decadent Bone Marrow that's almost impossible to disappoint with all its savory richness. Highlight was trying out one of their specials of the night which was their Vaca Vieja, or "OLD COW," a premium culinary style of beef sourced from mature Spanish cows known as "natural aging" for a more bold depth of flavor. I enjoyed the added earthiness along with the umami flavors of the marbled fat that came from the aging of the meat which made me the dish that much more. HIGHLY recommend next time you want to indulge yourself to a great experience

    I had high expectations based on the reviews, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to…read morethe hype. The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location, but the food, service, and overall experience were disappointing. I ordered the filet medium rare, and it came out extremely burnt on the outside while still very undercooked and almost bleeding in the center. When I mentioned it, they initially offered to "throw it back on the grill," but since the outside was already burnt, I declined and asked for a fresh steak. The replacement took about 30 minutes, after we had already waited roughly 40 minutes for our original food. We also rarely saw our server throughout the meal, although his assistant was very kind and attentive. The potatoes and asparagus were overcooked, lacked flavor, and overall the sides were underwhelming as well. What surprised me most was still being charged for the steak after it took two attempts and I barely ate it. For a restaurant with such strong reviews and a high price point that comes with it, I expected much better quality and service. I understand many people seem to love this place, but based on my experience, I would be unlikely to return and personally would not recommend it.

A very cool guy!! He's been working there for like 10 years too so trust his suggestions :) The ambiance is nice and really clean and they have good options of seafood to choose from. I like how after when your done eating they give you this cleanser they created to clean your hands so they won't smell like fish etc. I will definitely come back here again and try their lunch specials and shrimp!!

    A couple weeks ago, we finally made it to dinner here, and I'm impressed…read more We started with apps: fried oysters (because I always like), and the coconut snails. Let me say the snails were a highlight. Surprisingly tender and flavorful. Sometimes, snails can have a livery / dirt / bitter flavor, but not these. And we were lucky rice wasn't on the table, because we would have stuffed ourselves eating rice with that wonderful sauce. Next comes the boil itself. My wife insisted on "no-spice" (ugh). But I got a side of the house sauce with med-spice. Let me tell you. That sauce. Again, good thing no rice on the table, because I'm already drowning everything in that sauce. Esp the garlic bread. The seafood was fine. You're not at the pier / Hawaiian beach / HK wet market fresh off the boat & straight into your mouth scenario. But fine. We're planning to be there again tomorrow. BTW, that boy scout selling popcorn a few years ago? He made it. He's now an Eagle Scout. Thanks again for the icy refreshing drinks on a hot day.

They also had all-day Happy Hour deals on Wednesdays. Loved the decor of this restaurant, just an incredibly cool vibe with elaborate Japanese-Mexican fusion art, neon, and even a huge rainbow color-changing tree in the middle of the dining room. We had calamari, corn ribs, steak tacos, king roll, dragon roll, pork belly bowl, and everything was well-cooked and tasty. The hot sauce they give is hot, fair warning! The dishes are complex with lots of varied flavors, which is a good thing because it's not just simple and boring, but it does take time to read the menu carefully. That's probably on us, lol.

We visited on a weekday evening for dinner and found that the restaurant had largely retained the same look and layout from its days as TAPS. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only a couple of other occupied tables during our visit. While the menu offered a variety of options, it looked limited and, more importantly, significantly overpriced. Signature rolls ranged from $24 to $26, and even a simple pork-and-rice dish was priced at $25. We ordered the Chicken Tequila Cream Pasta, the Dragon Roll, and two fish tacos. Unfortunately, this is where the experience took a disappointing turn. The Dragon Roll, despite its premium price, looked very basic, consisting mostly of rice with very little filling. The quality and presentation reminded me of sushi from a grocery store counter. The Chicken Tequila Cream Pasta was essentially chicken Alfredo with red bell peppers, served with a slice of basic buttered toast. The fish tacos were another letdown. For $16, the plate included only two small tacos with no rice, beans, or side dishes, just the tacos themselves. To make the experience even more unpleasant, there were no complimentary appetizers, such as bread or edamame, to enjoy while waiting for the meal. The food overall was underwhelming and did not justify the prices being charged. The one bright spot was the service, which was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, Geisha failed to deliver the quality or value its prices suggest. Save yourself the time and money and visit virtually any other restaurant in downtown Brea instead. You'll thank me later.
