Ambiance: it's an order and go establishment ... no seating ... not very welcoming Service: average Food: average...lacking Hawaiian flavor .. missing ingredients for good / excellent poke. Good luck and we will not be back read more

Hands down the BEST POKE YOULL EVER HAVE. It's chunky and fresh, flavors are delicious. With many different options and plates. I refuse to eat poke anywhere else because I know it won't be as good as here! read more

I've been coming to Poke etc., since 2013 while I was working in Carson and now I have it every time I drive down and it's so worth the drive. Their poke is still the best I've ever had! I've never been to Hawaii but this is what I imagine it tastes like lol. read more

Poke Etc - Ahi limu - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

They're under new management and now some of the flavors for the Poke has changed. It was disappointing as it wasn't as good as before. The rice was a bit hard and didn't taste as fresh. I'm hoping it was just a bad day, but when it comes to Poke, there shouldn't be bad days since it needs to be fresh read more

Poke Etc was such an underrated and hidden gem for me! We stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch near Ikea and it's a totally random hole in the wall poke joint serving amazing food in the middle of the city. Serving sizes are huge and you won't be able to find this kind of value anywhere else. I got the limu and shoyu which both transported me right back to my days on Kauai and Maui. There's no seating inside but service is quick and cordial and it's a great lunch to take to go. read more

Pulled into the parking in front of the store at 6:28 p.m. and went to enter the store. Right when I was in front of the door, the employee inside changed the Open sign to "Closed." Rude. It clearly states on the sign they're open til 7 p.m. They should at least post the correct hours or put an update on their platforms if they're going to close early. So I went to Poke Bar instead. Just down the street. read more

Poke Etc - Closed at 6:28 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. on a Saturday. - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

Poké was delicious. I prefer my poke without the sauce already mixed in, but this was ok. The portions were good and the service was good. I was a bit shocked that I had to purchase the ginger and seaweed salad separately. I also get that all the toppings are a mainland thing anyway. I only wish I could get a smaller portion of fish read more

My family and I drive 1.5hrs from the IE to get Poke from this place maybe twice a month, every month. Every single time we go the workers have the worst attitude EVER. The young Filipina with the round Harry Potter glasses ALWAYS rolls her eyes, always has to breathe heavily when my family and I order. It makes the food and trip unenjoyable. Today the young Filipina was working but she didn't take our order it was a dark skinned older Filipina, she was also rude. After my mom and I paid we asked for soy sauce... the lady rolled her eyes and made an "ugh" sound. Management should speak to staff and educate them on customer service. The pricing, the attitude/service we get, and the missing flavors in the poke is not worth it, sadly. This USED to be our go-to spot for poke, this USED to be worth the TIME and MONEY spent. But not anymore. read more

Disappointed with the Changes I've been a regular here at Poke Etc for years, but ever since the new management took over, the experience just isn't the same. The food, which used to be flavorful and fresh, now tastes bland and poorly prepared. My favorite dish, Cali Hawaiian used to be packed with flavor, but now it turned very salty and is missing that special touch that made it stand out. Service was okay, but even that felt less friendly than before. It's really disappointing to see such a great place lose its charm. I hope they can turn things around because it used to be one of my favorites. I missed Manang and the team. read more

Delicious poke reminiscent of the kind I would get at "Foodland" on my trips to Oahu. Portions are HUGE. The 2 poke plate (with salmon) is $16.99, it's not advertised on their menu. I guess $13.99 was for just tuna. Was a shock but at such a good price I didn't care that much. I also got their mac salad, a side was $1. Wasn't my favorite and wouldn't get again. Service was curt. The place is a grab and go, and at the affordable price it doesn't bother me that much. I'm there for the food. They sell assorted Hawaiian goods and some stuff in their freezer. Will return it in the area! read more

My husband always loves to order from here. Today, I picked up his favorite combination, octopus salad and ginger poke. Got some misubi for my daughter too. $3.00 per piece.

My go-to for authentic poke in the area. Portion sizes, variety and pricing here is a lot better than the Long Beach location. (Poke & More) read more

Been going here for years. They have always been friendly and inviting--proper and professional--but today--encountered a new face; unfriendly, looked irritated, and basically slapped the poke in the container (salad with dressing) and added rice all in one--wow! Buried the container of dressing with poke. She ran my payment with no words, no acknowledgment. This worker is hurt-lol. read more

Haven't had a bad experience here before other than coming late and saying they closed the kitchen and only had poke! I still got the poke. Best authentic poke place to go to. The pork is amazing as well from here. read more

They've always got the best poke here. Both flavorful and good sized portions. The cuts of the tuna are big as you can see. Their Spicy Mayo is the crowd favorite and rightfully so. Not spicy at all and evenly distributed sauce over the tuna. Good place good service! 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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Poke Etc - Spicy mayo Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

This is my FAVORITE poke spot! Every time I order here it never disappoints! If you go you should definitely order my personal favorites which is the spicy mayo and basic spicy! I get 1/2 a pound each sometimes and for a great price! read more
