    Build Your Bowl with Jay-O-Lee sauce!
    Canary H.

    It's been six years since I've made a review, and it's not because I haven't been back. I've been here very often and it never occurred to me that I haven't updated my review. Here's my update! Since my review six years ago, I've stopped by multiple times a year for food here. I've always built my own bowl with salmon as my protein, the Jay-o-Lee sauce, no salad, white rice, and plenty of onions. My rice always comes hot and the portions are always very generous. The sauce is delicious as it was always, and nothing ever changes. This business has changed by being more technologically advanced. They've inserted a kiosk for quick orders so the workers can focus on making the bowls instead. You can also order online for pickup, but the catch is, you can't earn points with your phone number unless you order in store. The inside is simple and modern. There are numerous tables and chairs for you to sit and quickly eat your bowl. There's free water, sauces, and your choice of forks or chopsticks. This place never disappoints me and always pulls me back. I will hold back from eating poke elsewhere to save my appetite for here. Thank you for always being good to me!

    Build Your Bowl

    Great poke for the area! Fresh and bold flavors, the spice actually had some heat but still maintained a good overall flavor and awesome portions. I opted for a salad/cucumber base but bowls do come with rice and the order process is nice and streamlined because all bowls come with tobiko, surimi and seaweed salad. Options to customize bowls including extra of the toppings or exclude toppings as well. They offer salmon tuna or half and half. You can order at the desk or via a kiosk and they accept Apple Pay and card. All orders are made to order so expect a short wait if going at popular times but lots of seating, and a nice fast casual setting with fresh filling flavors.

    Hawaiian and minimalistic blend interior, located in a business center. A good amount of seating for those dine in options. The staff is nice and fast with their services. I ordered the half and half Godzilla with wasabi sauce and double crab meat and avocado, it tasted pretty good, definitely made with Aloha.

    I love stopping by Poke District when I'm in OC! Their poke is fresh and simple, like the ones in Hawaii. Just fish, warm rice, cucumbers, crabmeat, and seaweed is all you need. They also offer a variety of yummy sauces. It's a small shop with a good amount of seating available and can get busy during certain hours. Orders can take a while, but definitely worth the wait :)

    You can order on the tablet in front of through the workers. The workers were busy putting together orders so I just ordered in the tablet. A poke bowl is $15 or a veggie bowl is $10. The menu is extremely simple: tuna, salmon or both. You then choose white, brown rice, or salad or both. Comes with imitation crab, seaweed, and your choice of sauces. I went with half white rice and half salad (Salad was a spring mix like from Costco with cucumbers) the Lava sauce which had a really nice spice and kick to it! The fish tasted super fresh and really does melt in your mouth! Will definitely need to return to try different sauces!

    Build Your Bowl. Half rice, half mix greens.

    I've been here a few times, and the fish is always fresh. You can choose tuna, salmon, or half-and-half with white rice, brown rice, salad, or a mix. The last two times I went, the wait for the food was about 15 minutes after ordering. Ordering is done through a tablet, and the staff is helpful if you need anything. Bowls are around $15. They don't have as many toppings as other spots, but the quality is great. I even saw them cutting the fish behind the counter. Definitely worth it!

    I did phone order @ 12:05 and they told me 5-10 min i got there 12:28 this guy has the audacity to tell me that it's gonna take a couple more minutes. This place is such a shit show now. Workers are rude and hella slow, I should've learned my lesson last time. To the owner of this place get your staff together

    Tuna Og & Half + Half Lava (ig: @cravingswithcat)
    Catherine N.

    The menu is simple and self explanatory, they have two fish options: tuna and salmon. For the price of the bowl, it's very fair with the portion size. I don't think the fish is marinated in the sauce, it gets tossed with sauce when you order. The fish was fresh and a solid bowl of poke. The bowls were made very quick after ordering. They have indoor seating and parking wasn't hard to find in the plaza. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Godzilla Half and Half
    Ariana M.

    On the outside, it doesn't look like much but trust me this place is GOOD. I got the half and half (tuna & salmon) Godzilla (avocado aioli) and it had good flavor. It was fresh, non slimy, and pretty firm. Honestly I think the star of the show was a the crab salad! It was packed with so much flavor and was a good side. Rice was cooked and season perfectly and the seaweed added some crunch. Service was so nice and the food came out so fast. A lot of seating and plenty of parking outside!

    Donna N.

    Delicious and fresh poke. Came by on a Friday night about an hour before closing and it wasn't too busy. Ordering is with a cashier or at the kiosk. Service was quick and staff were friendly. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered a salmon bowl with white rice and spicy mayo. The portion was perfect and the amount of fish was abundant. Everything tasted fresh (including the seaweed salad, imitation crab, and cucumber). The rice was topped with furikake, which was delicious. Every time I took a bite into the rice, it tasted like wasabi for some reason? The random wasabi taste threw the flavor off for me. Tip: you can order multiple "flavors" or sauces, but only one sauce can be mixed into the fish while the other sauces come on the side.

    (IG: @foodwithdeni) #dEATs salmon w/half rice & salad, original sauce half tuna & salmon w/brown rice & wasabilicious sauce We were craving poke in the OC and finally tried @poke_district! We enjoyed both of our plates and would definitely come back. I recommend sharing a plate b/c the regular size was a large portion for us. Plenty of seating inside & parking lot available

    Salmon
    Angela B.

    Salmon was buttery! Maybe better quality than bear flag. Seaweed salad is delish! $20 for two small containers ========= Green avocado sauce is kinda weird, not sure how it enhances the fish. It needed spice/more flavor. They don't have a huge menu, so it's not too difficult to choose what to eat. I was able to sample a sauce which is convenient. A container leaked during transit so not sure how that happened, luckily the bag was there. Service I think they also gave me the wrong sauce, but it gives me an opportunity to come back again. I'm not sure why one of the employees is wearing AirPods as he's working lol service was kinda dead, maybe the people working there were tired at 530pm.

    Gardenia B.

    tried them for the first time and was so pleasantly pleased! Had no idea they were kind of local to me and I'm so glad I found them on yelp! I was searching to try out a new poke spot in the area and they caught my eye. The fish was fresh! I also love the way they serve it. It's very authentic, and it keeps them unique from all the other poke spots. I got the salmon with white rice and it was delicious! I definitely recommend trying all of the sauces on the side so you get a feel for what you want! Everyone here was so nice and I would definitely go back.

I love Hawaiian food and have my favorite spots for legit grindz on four of the islands (5 if you count Las Vegas!), not to mention all the places sprinkled throughout the mainland. I'm not a snob but I appreciate fresh ingredients made with aloha. Unfortunately, da kine here had neither. The place is easy enough to find, just off Tustin in a plaza, right next to a Subway. The inside was dim and quiet. There was only one other couple in there, who walked in just before us. My +1 ordered the loco moco. She got overcooked patties, runny eggs and prepackaged gravy in a separate container. I ordered the combo with short rib, barbecue beef and chicken. It tasted like it was cooked in old grease and was bland despite the teriyaki sauce. My keiki (mini +1) got the teriyaki chicken with macaroni salad and didn't want to eat it. It didn't sit right with any of us. As some other reviewers mentioned, I don't think it was made fresh. I came hoping for 'ono but all I found was "oh no." The plates were full, but what's the point of choke portions if you just gonna choke on it? No thanks. Edit: I originally left two stars, but after the whole ohana (family) had upset stomachs all night, had to drop it.

Like a lot of poke spots, there were times in the past where the fish portions felt... light. Tiny scoops, lots of rice, and you leave wishing you got what you paid for. That was my early experience, and it kept me from coming as often as I wanted. But something has definitely changed, and in the best way possible. Lately, every single visit has been stacked. I'm talking generous, heaping scoops of fish, perfectly balanced bowls, and portions that actually feel worth the price. You can see it while they're building your bowl, they're not skimping. It's consistent, too, which matters. Nothing worse than loving a spot one day and being disappointed the next. Quality is on point, everything tastes fresh, and the amount of food you get now is honestly impressive. I leave full every time, sometimes with leftovers, which never used to happen. If you haven't been in a while, go back. If portion size ever held you back before, I can confidently say: it's no longer an issue. The Poke Co is doing it right.
