    Solid poke spot. The portions are big, the food is fresh. It isn't a super busy spot. Service was good but definitely could've been better. The ambiance is calm. It's a smaller spot but it's still solid. Parking could be easier but it's pacific beach so what can you do.

    I've walked by this place for a good 2 years. I was at a burger spot next door and finally decided to pick some up and take it home. First of all, thanks to the staff they were all really polite and chill. The food is really really good. Great quality and fresh. As a local I'll definitely throw this in my list. Appreciate it

    I went here a couple of times but this is my first time reviewing. All of the times I went, I got the salmon and tuna as the protein. They really pack the bowl which is great! They have the menu on the side and on the table to order as you go (makes it easier for customers to see what they want). There's a few tables outside to enjoy the food. It's mainly a Take Out place. Service was fine. Only Street parking available. I would come back here again.

    This place is so so delicious I love how it is not like regular Hawaiian poke and we can add a lot of toppings. service is great and the workers are fast asf! They are so fun and have great recommendations. The ambiance is cute this place is located on the pacific beach strip so the parking is a bit difficult sometimes but it's worth it. The poke is delicious and I love the sauces they offer as well and on top of that this is affordable!!!! You are not breaking your wallet and paying 20+$ per bowl. Definitely hit this place up if you want some good poke you won't regret it!

    PB and 5 scoop custom bowl

    Excellent poke that absolutely hit the spot. I got the Pacific Beach signature, and wife got a 5 scoop custom bowl. There is little rice and a whole lot of crave-able, fresh fish. The variety of proteins and toppings is outstanding. I would have to say my wife's custom bowl was more spectacular because of her tasty choices, especially salmon and scallops. Service was quick and courteous. Price is somewhat high ($50+), but I'm satisfied given the amount of seafood.

    This review is solely for the food as it was picked up by our son. Ordered to go and the food was fantastic! Substantial bowls with plenty of ingredients. The fish was tasty and fresh. Order of 3 egg rolls were hot and had a perfect crunch to them. Poke Chop is one of the best Poke Shops we've patronized. Give it try if you're in the Pacific Beach area.

    Awesome vibes and great poke! I hold poke in San Diego close to my heart, but that comes with high standards. I've been here a few times and the workers are always so warm and provide excellent recommendations. It's a small establishment, but spacious enough to accommodate a line of hungry customers for convenient take out. They have more fresh fish choices than most of the poke places around and a great variety of complimentary toppings and sauces to go with them. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of these bowls and well worth the trip.

    Came here on a Saturday around 4 pm. There was free street parking around the blocks. A few people were in front of us ordering and then a few people came behind us. Inside has no seating and is pretty small and dim. The outside patio has 3-4 tables for small groups to sit at. Ordering was super easy. We all got medium bowls with white rice which comes with 3 scoops of protein. I got 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of seared tuna. I got all 4 veggie sides with extra corn and I got the spicy mayo and jalapeño wasabi sauces. They had a good selection of toppings as well. Everything was extremely fresh and delicious!! We were al very impressed with the size and quality of the bowls. We all were able to finish but just barely. I would definitely come again, some of the best poke bowls I've had!

    The bowls at Poke Chop are so fresh and flavorful! you can tell the ingredients are actually prepped the same day. The staff were super friendly, helped me build my bowl fast, and didn't skimp on toppings (a rare blessing ). The vibe was clean and relaxed, perfect for a quick lunch or takeout. My go-to combo: tuna, crab, and fresh seaweed

    I can't say enough good things about Dominic and Nate. From the moment we sat down, their service…read morewas next-level -- attentive without hovering, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell when people actually care about the guest experience, and they absolutely do. Nate deserves a special shoutout for creating a Thai chili ginger soy sauce that genuinely blew my mind. I'm not exaggerating -- the balance of heat, sweetness, and umami was unreal. One of those flavors that makes you pause mid-bite and go, wow. It elevated everything it touched and is still living rent-free in my head. Dominic was equally incredible -- seamless service, great energy, and made the entire experience feel effortless and welcoming. Together, they made what could've been a normal meal into something truly memorable. If you're lucky enough to be taken care of by Dominic and Nate, you're in for an exceptional experience. This is the kind of service (and flavor) that keeps you coming back.

    This was my first time trying this place and I came in with high expectations after doing my…read moreresearch. The restaurant itself looked clean, which was a good first impression. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I placed my order online four hours in advance because I have a long drive back home to Julian and just wanted to pick it up and go. When I arrived, there was no greeting from staff, no clear pickup line, and no acknowledgment of customers waiting. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, only focusing on what was directly in front of them while ignoring everyone else. After standing there for quite a while, I finally had to ask about my order. Instead of it being ready like it should have been, they hadn't even started making it. I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line for something that was ordered hours earlier. What made it worse was when the mistake became obvious, no one apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. The staff acted like it was no big deal and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I don't come into the city often, but when I do I like to try new places. Sadly, this experience was disappointing and the customer service was extremely poor. I would honestly say save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values their customers--especially in this economy. Time is money, and money is time. If a restaurant doesn't respect your time, they're definitely not going to respect your money. As for the food, it was very basic and lacked flavor. They were also very stingy with the sauce, which made the bowl even more dry and underwhelming. Overall, between the poor service, long wait despite ordering hours ahead, lack of accountability from staff, and mediocre food, this place was a big disappointment. I will not be coming back. There are plenty of better places that actually value their customers. Thank you and have a nice day.

I enjoyed the big, juicy pieces of shrimp and the mango slaw on top. Would definitely get this one again! We also shared the fish and chips - beer battered cod. I liked how the breading wasn't thick and it remained crispy!! Also, it didn't feel heavy or too oily at all. The fish inside was moist. The coleslaw that came with it was good too and it was a little sweet. I didn't like the tartar sauce that much and honestly didn't feel like the fish needed it because it already had good flavor. Service was great! The person who took our order was very nice. Very casual place! Can't wait to come back and try other items

    I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and while I understand it was late, the service was…read morecompletely dismissive. There was still a significant line, but when we finally got to the front, the waitress taking our order wouldn't even look at us. She spent a good portion of our "turn" chatting with another waitress before finally turning to us--still with zero eye contact. We ordered a cioppino, a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, fish and chips, and a dozen oysters. I noticed she shouted the soup orders back to the kitchen but didn't say a word about the fish and chips. When I specifically asked her if she got the fish and chips, she said "yes," took my card, and sent us to a table. Our soups and oysters arrived after 15 minutes, but another 30 minutes passed with no sign of the rest of the meal. When I followed up with the same waitress to check on the status, she looked at the order and flatly told me there were no fish and chips on there. By that point, the restaurant was already closing. She asked if I still wanted them, but after waiting that long and dealing with that level of indifference, I just said no. Extremely disappointing experience. If you're going to stay open for customers, you should at least provide basic communication and hospitality. I won't be coming back.

That said, the waitress we had was very kind and attentive, and the food was decent, so we decided to give the place another try. After a long day at Legoland, we returned around 6pm and I had called ahead to make a reservation for four. The person on the phone took my name and number, so I assumed we were all set. When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't even full, but no one greeted us for several minutes. Eventually, a waiter came over, and when I mentioned our reservation, he seemed confused and said they don't take reservations for parties under six. I tried to explain that someone had taken my information over the phone, but he interrupted me multiple times and didn't let me finish. He then walked over to another group behind us and asked if they were there first, even though we had arrived before them, which was frustrating. We were eventually told there was space available at the bar seating (bar stools) instead of a table. At that point, we were tired and hungry, so we accepted. Unfortunately, the service didn't improve. The waiter seemed rushed and disorganized--he couldn't remember our order and had to ask us which dish belonged to who when the food came out. As for the food, it was okay but not memorable. My ramen was just average--the pork was dry and the egg was overcooked. Overall, the food is decent, but the service really needs improvement. This particular waiter clearly needs more training, or possibly a different role, as the level of service did not meet basic expectations for a restaurant. Our second visit left a bad impression, especially since it was our last night in San Diego. Sadly, we won't be coming back.
