Poke Dot - Regular size (~$17-$18) - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

Poke Dot your food did not disappoint! This review is about your employee, Breana she has the worst customer service no eye contact, was very unprofessional, rude. She was preparing my bowl and I couldn't decide which other protein I wanted so she says to me "all tuna?" I said no thank you and she drops the scooper in the tuna with a bad attitude. No thank you or have a good day. Why do you hire people that have no customer service experience? Bad decision Poke Dot. The only reason I gave any star is because the gentleman working with was very pleasant..I was very excited to try this place out seeing all the good reviews. Poke Dot please feel free to message me when she is no longer employed there and i will re-visit this place and this review. Just ate my food and yes, the food is DELICIOUS!! like all the reviews say. read more

The staff here are super friendly, and the portions are massive. I got a regular poke bowl and was honestly surprised by how much food they give you. They include free avocado and a generous amount of imitation crab, which is always a plus. A large bowl could easily last two meals, so I was really happy with both the portion size and the food quality for the price. Bowls are around $16-$21, which is actually a great deal considering how much food you get. My go to combo is spicy mayo and ponzu sauce, which adds the perfect balance of flavor. The location is also very convenient with lots of things to do around the area. Overall, I had a great experience and would 100% come back again. read more

Enjoyed a visit at Poke Dot down in the Claremont village today, not your typical seafood expert but I will say me and my friend Landon enjoyed our meals throughly. If you are willing to spend some dough you can grab yourself a pretty quick and yummy meal I came in today around noon and the customer service was great the dude at the front cashier was chill. One thing to note was the fountain machine is out of order. Other than that would highly recommend. read more

While eating my food I found a piece of plastic in my food, which is already unacceptable and concerning from a safety standpoint To make matters worse, my coworker also discovered a bug in her bowl. This raises serious concerns about cleanliness, food preparation standards, and overall quality control. Finding foreign objects-especially both plastic and a bug in one visit is not something that should ever happen. When I called to report the issue, all I received was a quick "I'm so sorry, it won't happen again and I have to go we have customers waiting." There was no real effort to address the situation-no offer to refund our meals, even though we had to throw everything away after two bites. I hope management takes this seriously and thoroughly reviews their food safety and sanitation practice. Based on this experience I definitely won't be returning and I will be letting others know. read more

Solid poke spot in Claremont! Interior is nice and clean. I got salmon and octopus, and the small bowl was more than enough to fill me up. Portions are generous, and all toppings are free, which is a huge plus. Not the freshest I've had, but definitely a reliable and satisfying option in the area. Will be back! read more

Poke Dot - Crab, salmon and tuna with edamame, green onion, crispy onion and cucumber over salad with a combo of ponzu & creamy wasabi dressing - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

Got a small poke bowl here and really enjoyed it. The shop is located in downtown Claremont which is such a cute vibe. Plenty of cute spots to sit and eat around downtown or you can eat inside the restaurant. The fish was fresh and sushi rice was made well. I also really liked the topping options that they had. Service was great and prices were reasonable. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm the coworker that ended up with a live bug in my poke bowl in the other review... super disgusting made my stomach turn. They aren't washing their spring mix. The guy that answered our call gave the generic apology and said he had to go because he had customers.. I'm sure they got their serving of bugs too. But that's the kind of nonchalant attitude you can expect from Gen Z.. lol. Definitely disputing the charge. read more

I was visiting Botanic Garden in Claremont this past weekend. Afterwards, I shopped at Trader Joe's (TJ) and picked up some chicken kabobs from Boca Burger. I promised my eldest daughter that I would buy a poke bowl for her. At first, I thought of Oh Poke which would have been closer since it was in the same center as where TJ was located. But I've already tried it a long time ago. I looked on Yelp to see where else has poke bowls. Poke Dot came up and it was less than or about a mile away so that was my next stop. Thank you Yelp!!! Poke Dot is within the Claremont Village. It's actually on Indian Hill Blvd. There are small parking lots and street parking available. This poke joint has a bright and inviting ambiance. No one was in here when I arrived which was great for me so I can take lots of photos. Staff was super friendly and nice. I needed a minute to check out their fishes and toppings. Everything was very fresh. I couldn't help myself and got two large poke bowls. Each bowl comes with 5 scoops. Price was on the higher end of $19.95 per large bowl compared to other poke places that I've been to. But that didn't stop me from getting them LOL. I asked to try the brown rice and the gentleman was nice to give me a small sample cup of it. It was piping hot right out of the rice cooker. It was soft and fluffy. I was SOLD! Both poke bowls pretty much had the same ingredients except for the base where mine had half brown rice and half salad. My daughter got all white rice. As for the fishes, I went with 3 scoops of salmon and 2 scoops of tuna. They also had albacore, shrimp, scallop, octopus, spicy tuna, and tofu. As for toppings, I got everything that was there... cucumbers, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, original and spicy crab meat, and avocados. As for crunches, I got everything, too... tempura, hot cheetos, fried onions, masago, seaweed seeds, and furikake. Lastly, topped with seaweed salad, edamame beans, ginger, and wasabi. As for sauces, I got them on the side... spicy mayo, medium spice house sauce, and cilantro twist. That was a whole lot of goodness. The lady had a hard time sealing the bowls... they were that full. I love the over the top poke bowl. Hey, there's a new label for it. My poke bowl was so full that I had to pick at each corner slowly. It was so fresh and delicious! The only gripe is that a few of the salmon chunks had muscle tissue attached. No big deal. I would definitely be back here for more tasty poke bowls. But next time, I may just have the whole bowl mixed in with the sauces. Highly recommend this Poke Dot!!! read more

I was very satisfied with my poke bowl! They did good size scoops for my salmon, tuna and avocado! I was also happy to see they had hot Cheetos as a topping! Gotta love having a little spicy crunch to your poke! Workers were nice and patient though they had a non stop line while I was there. There's a good amount of seating inside. I'm coming back for sure! read more

Ordered this on Doordash. They BARELY gave me any of the spring mix base. Literally like three leaves. Fish had no flavor. Tasted so gross and fishy. What a disappointment. 60 bucks for nasty fish. Avoid this place. read more

The portion sizes are generous, even for two scoops. The fish wasn't very fresh. I thought the albacore was a bit dried out.

Luke helped us out. But we were not his father. That' role is saved for Anakin Skywalker. Despite not having his father present, Luke was very kind, very helpful, and very informative. We came in late at night, and usually people are grumpy at this hour but not Luke. He used the force to pack our bowls with delicious fish and a cheerful smile which made coming to Poke Dot a breath of fresh air. He seemed like a genuine guy who enjoyed helping people. We'll definitely be back here. Thank you, Luke. Darth Vader did not win today. May the force be with you. read more

Used Uber eats to deliver, food was fresh and tasteful. Poke Dot was a great find. Will definitely check it out in person next time im craving poke. read more

We both ordered a 3-scoop regular poke bowl and though the ingredients appeared and tasted fresh, the person who put our bowls together was a little skimpy on the servings. We had to ask to add a little more of almost each topping. Also, our bowls were underdressed or undersauced as we both thought they were dry. But again, it's because the guy was stingy in serving in the first place! $15.50 each for 3 scoops. Pretty typical of poke joints. If our bowls weren't dry, we wouldn't have felt somewhat gipped. Atmosphere is casual with regular tables and a bar top area. read more

Located in Claremont in one of the best areas for a stroll, movie, or just to hang. I always pass by but this was the first time I actually stopped for food. I am going to be honest, I am always weary of trying new poke places but this one did not disappoint. Taste: 10/10 the tuna and salmon was fresh, all ingredients were amazing, and they added the right amount of sauce to my bowl. Quantity: This bowl was filled up! I bought the small bowl because I was not very hungry but the portion was HUGE. I would definitely recommend if you want good portion for a good price. Service: Everyone in here is so attentive, I got my bowl very fast, and they all made sure that I had utensils and everything I needed. Quick and fast service even on a busy hour. Overall rating: 9.8/10 I will definitely be a frequent customer here! read more

Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 3/5 I'd actually give this place 3.5 stars but since yelp only does whole numbers, I'll round up to 4 since I think it deserves more than 3 stars. I ordered a large with 3/4 brown rice and 1/4 salad. The portion of base they give you for a large is pretty solid. The large comes with 5 scoops of protein but some of the proteins that are there cost an extra $1.50 which I think is not worth it. The large costs around $18.00 which is quite the hefty price tag, but you are getting a decent amount of food. I personally think the price should be lower or that you should get more fish. My order was 2 scoops of salmon, 1 scoop albacore, 1 scoop tuna, 1 scoop shrimp, and there is a plethora of sides you can pick from. They give you the standard small scoop of each side which I feel is not enough. The fish seemed fresh and it was pretty enjoyable. I think this is the better poke spot in the village but I still feel like the price is high. A small thing that did bother me was that the worker seemed very listless and it did not feel very welcoming. It was overall a solid meal and I would come back if I had the money. read more

Its was okay, a little too salty and the portion was small I would not recommend nor come again personally.

Retrospect review. I love this poke spot! It's located in the Claremont Village area. I usually get the regular bowl, half & half, chips and rice or chips and salad. I love the ingredients they offer and so many toppings to choose from. The best topping, though, is the hot cheetos crumbs! Hehe :) I also get the spicy mayo on the side so I can further dip my chip into it. Customer service is always on point, and they're pretty efficient in getting the line moving along. read more

Poke Dot - Small two scoop poke bowl. - Seafood Near Me - Claremont, California

For a college town poke joint, this is definitely worth the college price if you are ever craving some Poke. When I first saw this place, some of the reviews worried me about the price and quality of the meal. Paying 17$ of a medium or 20$ for a large is definitely on the higher side for poke bowls. However, the two times that I have gotten to go there, the staff have been more than helpful and generous with their servings. Both times I have even had them have to carefully squish everything into the bowl with how much they gave. In terms of the quality, it definitely isn't the best fish or selection I have ever had. I personally wish that they had more marinated fish choices. However, the fish still had a good flavor and did not get overwhelmed with that bad fishy smell that other poke places seem to have. My favorite part about this place is the large amount sides and toppings that you can put on. (They even have avocado you can put for free if you want as well as unique things like hot cheetos if you are into that). My one gripe is for unagi sauce, they do charge you an extra 50 cents (they should at least tell you that before they add it at least :(). However, they still are very receptive to how much you want so just make sure you tell them exactly what you want to get the best out of your bowl. Definitely would go again read more

Do you want to spend a lot of money on a very average poke bowl? You found your spot. The employees were polite; a 3-scoop bowl ended up costing $19+ and the dish left me unimpressed. The fish was fresh and the sauces were alright. If you've had poke from almost anywhere else, you've had this restaurant. The high price caught me off guard. read more

I ordered food here and it was ready to go as soon as I arrived and I took it home and it was fantastic. A great place for a quick lunch

My husband and I had Poke for the first time here. Claremont is a fun area and this place is right on the one of the main drags. I ordered a small bowl (which is the same size as every bowl). The only difference in sizes is the number of scoops of protein and with all the toppings I feel like to get the most out of your money, ordering a small is the best way to go. I started with 1/2 brown rice and half lettuce, then had crab, avocado and cucumber added, salmon and shrimp for my proteins, ponzu sauce on the side, furikake, edamame, crunchies, and the delicious seaweed salad! In retrospect I would have gone without the crunchies and possibly the furikake, and had more of the seaweed salad because that stuff was BOMB! The ponzu sauce was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it was delish. They put a generous amount of protein considering how small the scooper is. So 2 scoops was plenty for me. The meal felt clean and a quality portion. read more

I love this place! I've gone here a handful of times as a 5C student and it always delivers a fresh, healthy meal when I feel that I've eaten too much junk food. Portions are generous and avocado is free (except recently due to shortages, which is understandable). You can also add hot cheetos as a topping which I thought was really unique. A medium sized bowl lasts me two meals, and there are so many sauce options to choose from. Highly recommend coming here for your poke fix. read more

Stopped by cause I was in the area and I definitely don't regret! They give hot Cheetos dust as a topping which I haven't seen before. They also give free avocado which I love!

Located in the claremont village on Indian Hill, Poke Dot's food is always super fresh and it's a plus that the first scoop of avocado is included in the price. The service is always speedy and accurate. There are a few spots to sit and eat your food (either high top or standard height tables.) Though the prices are a bit high, you can often choose to eat half of the bowl now and save the rest for later. I usually do half chips half white rice, mix my bowl then scoop it up with chips. :) read more

If they actually gave you a small for $15.95 I probably wouldn't be so disappointed but their size small is like a children's size and tbh a small child would still be hungry. Don't go here if you want a decent poke bowl. A total rip off read more
