I got the create your own poke which is supposed to include 2 poke flavors, furikake rice, and seaweed salad for $13.95. Ours didn't come with the seaweed salad because they forgot to include it. The prices are reasonable and they do give you good portions. I got the spicy mayo and cali hawaiian, the flavors were pretty good but the fish was not fresh. As others have mentioned, the service here is pretty poor and staff is rude. It's a grab and go place, so no seating inside. read more

Poke Etc - Front of Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

There's no table and chair to sit down and eat here. The front has Hawaii and Filipino food, snacks, and drinks. When I went to Hawaii, I was like, "Awww man, California Poke will never be the same." AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS PLACE! I feel like this place is pretty much the same as Hawaii Poke! Chili garlic 5/5 Hawaii cali 5/5 Sweet longanisa 5/5 read more

I have to say that this place has the best poke! Their fish tastes very fresh and it's very tasty! My go to is the spicy mayo salmon bowl. They have different food options but I always go for this one. They are located inside a shopping center so they have plenty of parking. They also sell other Hawaiian products like cookies, chips and drinks. This place is a must! read more

Poke Etc - Salmon Poke bowl with spicy mayo - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

This is how poké should be done. You can't get any more authentic then Poke Etc. Once you walk in it's like being transported back to the Islands. It's literally a hole in wall shop. Poké Etc isn't like all these poke places around where you choose your toppings and sauces. This place serves traditional poké as it should be and when I mean traditional they only used Ahi Tuna. POKÉ PLATE: Comes with two different types of poké of your choice and two scoops of rice. Portion a large here so you're getting your money worth. My choices were Spicy Mayo and Ginger Shoyu Poké. Both were absolutely fantastic. Love the texture and the flavor was on point. Overall if you're a fan of Ono Seafood on Oahu you will definitely like Poké Etc. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Love the poke in this store. But the serving is not consistent. Like today this specific person always gives less amount of serving. So every time we see's her we are thinking twice if were gonna buy or not. If this person is not there serving I would give this store a Five Star rating. read more

My first time here at Pho Etc! I've only been to a few poke spots in Long Beach and Cerritos but glad I went to Carson to give Poke Etc a try! It gets busy and the line was out the door but definitely for a reason. It's GOOD! read more

This place is by far easiest one the BEST places to order fresh poke. I've had a lot of poke but this, is just chefs kiss quality. Its so fresh, very fulling and the price is very worth it. Very friendly staff as well! 10/10 would recommend! ( i would suggest the salmon bowl if you're a spicy girl like me, i got combination of spicy mayo and basic spicy ) SO FUCKING GOOD read more

This is the closest to Hawaii authentic poke you can possibly get in SoCal. This is not your typical poke place where they allow you to customize and charge you tons for each topping. They have pre-made selections on the most mainstream flavors in Hawaii. My favorite is the Ahi Limu. Very tasty, just like the ones I tasted in Hawaii. I always get the poke platter so you get rice and 2 poke choices. I also always try an exploratory one like spicy or garlic or oyster sauce. Those are not as authentic but still very good. Fish is fresh with lots of tasty seaweed and chives added to it. Yummmmm read more

Simple poke place with other hawaiian and filipino food. Fast service. I always get the salmon plate with 2 flavors. it can be with salad or rice but I always get the rice. Try it...:) Not a fancy place but just a simple store. read more

I always go to Ju's poke but it is far from Carson so I tried this place. There is a big parking lot so it was easy to park. Their service was great, the potion is big and the price was NOT expensive. I had a spicy mayo tuna poke and the taste was just okay. I don't think I'll come back, but it's a good place to have quick lunch. read more

O R D E R: basic spicy mayo sweet & spicy poke E X P E R I E N C E : Stepped into this small shop with a displayed selection of different flavored marinated poké. This only triggered nostalgic feels of my trip to Hawaii last summer I thought the basic spicy mayo was incredible, so creamy and the fish was fresh! Same with the sweet and spicy poke. I ordered their takeout and even eating at home, the quality of poke is good considering it being in socal! read more

The shoyu poke is the best with soil chicken. Wish I had a photo to show you, but I was too hungry. Just take my word for it.

This place is great. Been a customer since they opened. My only gripe is with the poke by the pound. If you ask for a half pound, they stuff so much in the container, it's almost a pound. Today I asked for a 1/2 lb and it was $14.98. It's $17.99 a lb so that's about .85 of a pound The last time I asked for a pound, they stuffed close to 1.5lbs in the container. I understand it's an estimation, but that far off??? Guess the next time I want I half pound, I should ask for a 1/4 lb. read more

I really enjoyed the spicy salmon and love getting their burritos as a treat. Love the people who run this restaurant, they're very hospitable and informative. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but the food was decent. I just got back from Hawaii, so I was looking for a Hawaiian spot to satisfy my cravings. It's a togo only spot that has the food already ready. So it's a good place for a quick lunch. I got the combo that comes with Kalua and I chose the Limu poke. It comes with rice and Mac salad. -kalua pork was good, kinda salty but I liked it like that -poke didn't taste fresh, I wasn't a fan of the flavor, and the portion is tiny -mac salad tasted like it was in the fridge for a few days -rice was drowning in a weird tasting furikake I want to come back to try their spicy Mayo or California style poke, so I'll update my review when I do! read more

Food was affordable and great! No indoor seating take-away style and quick service. Will definitely try again. read more

The combo poke has huge portions, a lot of options, they taste alright. I've had better. What sucks the most about this place is that the girl at the register has a rude personality. read more

Usually our go to spot for poke! We love getting spicy mayo and have always loved it but today it was not flavorful at all and was a little watery. Hopefully it was just a bad batch, looking forward to the next one! read more

As soon as we walked in the lady who worked at the counter looked like she hated being there. No smile, no greeting, just a "what do you want?" I asked if they were able to substitute double rice with one scoop of Mac and one scoop of rice, in which she replied a hard no. I got the spicy salmon and shoyu tuna. The portions were decent, easily can be split into two meals but the quality and flavor of the poke was unremarkable. Definitely better and friendlier poke places in the area. I will not be returning. read more

So I'm a regular and usually pick up for late lunch or dinner. Poke and katsu chicken are hot and on point. No complaints for afternoon or later food. They get a strong 4 stars for that. My 2 stars are for morning/brunch pick ups. We picked up breakfast and brunch entrees. Orders included poke bowl, sausage/egg and rice, and chicken katsu. All orders included rice. All the plates and bowls had day-old rice - DAY OLD RICE! WTF?! Who wants to eat yesterday's rice with fresh hot meals? I don't mind yesterday's rice - if it was the rice I made at home. But if I'm gonna pay for a meal then the rice needs to be fresh. It wasn't fried rice. Nope, it was just plain old steamed white rice from the day before. We all know how that looks like. It was hard and the tips start looking uncooked. At first look, the rice looked fresh, but it was covered under the furikake, eggs, and curry, but you know, YOU KNOW, when you take a bite. Then you take a better look at the rice and KNOW. Old rice just killed the meal. Ugh! This wasn't a one-time thing, it has happened a few times on my morning orders. So if you do order in the morning, then do yourself a favor and mention you want fresh rice. read more

One of only places where you can get authentic Hawaiian food and poke! Nothing can compare to Hawaii poke but the poke here is fresh and as close as you can get compared to any other Hawaiian places here in CA. Very reasonable prices too! read more

Had pretty high expectations for this place after seeing all the reviews, but I was ultimately pretty let down. Maybe I'd stop by if I was in the area again but it wouldn't be my first choice. Main issues: 1) quality of fish, 2) service I get it, it's not always possible to have fresh fish, but when I've tried places like Ali'i Fish Co it's hard to not compare the two. Honestly looked like some of the ahi tuna was turning old. I will say that their flavorings of the poke were overall pretty good, but as a meal it didn't quite hit the spot for me. Like others have also stated, I found the service also rather cold and unhelpful. read more

The poke was good. But the young girl behind the counter with the glasses was extremely unfriendly, Rude, No eye contact, Looks at you with disgust when asking for a sample. Disappointing. read more

Soo ironic but not unbelievable that I found something on the same topic that led me to write a review. I could not agree more of what the reviewer (s) had stated. THE GIRL with glasses AT THE COUNTER HAS ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!!!! I will NEVER return to give my business. Only reason I went in is because Delias next door was closed. I wanted Chicken Adobo initially, I then had noticed they made it. The Chcken Adobo from Poke Etc. Is bland! Mac salad, not good. Tuna spiccy mayo poke is the only highlight of everything about this place. Customer service skills can make or break a business. The girl really came off as not wanting to be there and rude No smiles, just a look of disgust. She was not helpful being my 1st time inside. This will definitely be my last as well. read more

I've been coming here since they were just a pop up shop in the back of Angelitos. The poke flavors here are unmatched! I personally fancy the spicy mayo (: Quick service unless you order something that needs to be cooked, all of that is made to order. There's no seating here, so grab some poke, a hawaiian sun, & enjoy your meal in the sunshine (: read more

YES, so much yes! This place is really as good as it gets. Been coming to this place for some time now and its just so great. For starters when you walk in you would never expect this food coming out of such a small place. The POKE plate I usually get is their spicy mayo salmon bowl. Every time its tasted fresh and just so good. It is plenty of food as well which is great. Their location is very convenient with plenty of parking which makes it easy to pick up and go. They don't have seating inside or outside so the to-go option is all they have. They sell other items too and from time to time I grab something. Their staff have always been friendly and helpful as well. I will definitely be back to this place. During COVID they are practicing social distancing so you must wait outside and only one person is allowed to order and pay. read more

Still can't quite figure this place out. Subsequent visits have been better than the first-- the "basic" poke seems to be closest so far to what I'd expect in Hawaii... but the flavors again seem a bit off in seasoning and intensity. Even the mac salad is a bit different, again too much mayo or something? only it's not off by very much, unlike the first visit's spicy mayo poke. That said finding properly marinated Hawaiian-style poke (as opposed to the typical abominations found here!) is basically impossible here on the mainland, and again I am happy to keep coming back! read more

5/5 stars. Great poke spot and authentic! Fish is fresh and bowls are delicious! Moved to this area not too long ago and I'm glad I found this. No tiny cut up fish like most places. Large portions and makes me full. Highly recommend the Hawaiian style and Spicy Mayo! Will be a regular. read more

Why a 3? Because the girl taking our order should never be behind the counter. Please don't put people who have ZERO customer service skills to deal with your customers. The poke is good but it's not cheap either and I expect great customer service or at least a friendly smile when spending my hard earned money. Our favorite kimchi poke wasn't available and we were purchasing 5 bowls @ $11.95 each, so my husband asks for a taste tester for 2 of the 7 flavors. He asked to try 1 more and she blatantly says No, you only get 2, with major attitude. Hubby responds, IM BUYING 5 BOWLS! Next thing, another lady comes sweet as pie to finish up our order! There are many choices so make sure you treat your Patrons right!! read more

I think the quality of their tuna has gone down or maybe it just wasn't my day. The poke pieces were not consistent. Some pieces were very stringy others just hard and other soft and fresh. I might give them a second chance but not sure. read more

Poke flavors are good, no place to eat there, just for togo, pricey. Plenty of parking outisde

This is my favorite Poke spot. Anytime we are out in the South Bay and in the mood for Poke, we come here. I wish there was one in the SGV. It totally reminds me of the Poke spots in Hawaii where it's all about the fish and rice. I don't need all the extras and toppings that other places put in their poke plates. They've also got good Filipino food here too. Check out their corned beef and longanisa. read more

I always get the spicy mayo salmon bowl, its was great the first few months. But lately the cut of all their fishes and onions have gotten enormous. And they leave the dark meat on the salmon which leaves a very fishy taste. Sometimes they dont even bother to cut out the skin and sometimes you'd be eating scales. I never write reviews but this location has become a complete joke. Whoever is cutting up the ingredients needs to do something else. Check my photos. Id rather go to the Cerritos location, its further away but far better. read more

I really love the poke here, it's delicious and gives you a lot with the combo. Must try it. Definitely will be coming back.

Prices have risen to $11.95 plus tax for a poke bowl and she puts 2 half scoops of poke. It's mostly rice. This is kinda ridiculous compared to how they used to be, it's not the same anymore. Taste is still great, but this makes me want to come here less often. read more

Poke Etc - Hawaiian Cali Poke Bowl $11.95+tax - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

I've been to the sister stores (franchised so different ownership but similar recipes and dishes?) Poke & More and the same good quality can be found here. What sets this place apart from other poke places is that they focus on bringing out the freshness of the fish with humble and traditional Hawaiian flavors. Other places load up on the random toppings and drown the fish in sauce to make up for the lack of quality of the seafood. The prices here are really reasonable and you can expect to pay about $10 for a meal or $6 for the simple breakfasts. I noticed this location had a unique flavor I hadn't seen at the others: Oka, a Samoan coconut lemon. Unfortunately they didn't have it the times I've been but looking forward to trying! I recommend getting the garlicky Ilocano longanisa breakfast for a cheap and tasty meal or the Cali Hawaii tuna. The loco moco here is also tasty but I prefer this dish at the Long Beach location. This gravy is saltier and they didn't give us Hawaiian macaroni. :( read more
