Good portions and fish! Especially liked that there was no additional charge for any toppings, which made the bowl reasonably priced. Owner was super kind too. Would recommend for a quick and easy meal!
little shop in the lion market plaza, pretty small and plain inside. I got a regular bowl and it was the perfect amount of food for a quick lunch! the fish options were all quite fresh and there's a huge variety of toppings which is excellent! my bowl was quite over-sauced so i'd ask for light sauce next time but others might enjoy that. service was very friendly and professional! would def come again if i were in the area :)
Was craving for poke and been in this plaza multiple times but have not ordered from here before. Honestly solid poke place! Ambiance: modern and clean. Place was pretty empty on Saturday lunch noon. Parking however was difficult to find as it looked to be very active Service: worker was welcoming and friendly, was patient while I ordered. Small bowl (4/5) $16.25: 24 oz bowl with 2 scoops of protein, free sides of seaweed salad and crab salad. Fish tasted fresh to me along with the other toppings. First time seeing chicharron as a topping and more than the usual dry toppings compared to other places. This bowl stuffed me beyond. Would come here again if I'm around the area in the mood for poke.
Decided to give this place a try from reading all the reviews. I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I created my own bowl with regular salmon and spicy salmon. Honestly, it was okay. I did add chicharron and it was super stale. But everyone's taste buds are different, so it's worth giving it a try.
Lots of options and toppings here. Place was clean and service was polite. Regular bowl was filling. I would certainly return.
My first impression of this poke spot is that their bowls are loaded! It's located in the same plaza as Lion Market, so the parking can get a little crowded but people are always going in and out, so it doesn't take too long to find a spot. I was feeling hungry, so I ordered their regular bowl, and I was impressed by how much was in it! The ordering process is pretty typical where you choose your: 1. Base, 2. Proteins, 3. Sides, 4. Mix-ins, 5. Sauce, and 6. Dry Toppings. One unique base I noticed on their menu is soba noodles! I didn't try it this time, but definitely will next time. They have a good variety of mix-ins too! I also love that they include avocado, crab, and seaweed salad in their bowls, which is not common for poke places these days! Overall, I enjoyed this neighborhood poke spot!
Ordered take out, I got the poke bowl. I like how you can choose 3 protein toppings and there's a wide variety of other toppings to choose from. Portion size is medium (not too big, not too small). I got it with half brown rice and half greens, a which I think was generally a good combo although some grains of the rice were hard to chew. For a take out meal, I think the fulfilled the order to the tee. Decent poke!
Absolutely amazing. First - I couldn't decide between the small and regular bowl. I was super hungry but ended up going with the small. I'm so glad I did because I was absolutely STUFFED by the time I finished. I'm certain that the large bowl is enough for two moderate meals. Second - I wasn't sure if the spicy tuna was too spicy for me. The lady let me sample it which made my decision so much easier. Third - they did not skimp on the sides or toppings. I opted for all of them and they happily obliged. There was so much food in there that I was worried the lid wouldn't close. Somehow it did Overall, this place was an amazing value for money and they did not compromise on quality. I will happily be back again!
If you're looking for a poke bowl with good portions and friendly service, you're at the right place! We had a late lunch here on a Sunday and there was no wait! There was one lady working, very kind and generous. I asked for a small bowl, but it was definitely not a small amount. I got half rice, half mixed greens and loaded it with different toppings. The rice was hot and fresh and like other reviews mention, they don't charge for typical premium add-ons like masago, avocado, crab salad, and seaweed salad. Now, although I loved everything else, I wouldn't say this was my favorite poke bowl for a few reasons... none of the sauces really stood out to me (which I think makes or breaks a poke bowl), their house sauce was quite salty for my taste, the crab salad was drier than others, and some pieces of the fish weren't easy to bite through. I LOVE raw fish, but I am picky about the texture. That being said, I think making some small improvements would easily change this to 5 stars :) Total: $40 w/ tip
Was really good not stingy with the meat and the lady was really nice! Definitely worth it!
I was craving poke and found this spot since I wanted to support a small business. It was empty when I went which was nice! I ordered a 3 protein poke bowl for $20.70 and wow I didn't realize poke bowls were now over $20! I got 2 scoops of the salmon and 1 scoop of the tuna. She gave me a decent amount of fish and I loved how the toppings and base were unique. For example, they had soba noodles as a base which I've never seen before and they had chicharron as a topping which is also new. I like how this place doesn't charge extra for crab salad or for avocado as well. The bowl was huge and was so filling (I had walked 20K steps that day and was hungry) so I demolished this bowl in less than 20 minutes haha. It was so tasty and I would definitely come back!
they have an interesting selection here with chicharron and they give a slice of avocado included with charge which is different. other stores you usually have to pay extra for those. the food was good, they gave a good portion but i felt like it did not have enough flavor, maybe it was because of the sauce choices i chose and it was a bit on the higher side of poke, but overall it is still a decent and good place to get poke.

Really good poke spot with a lot of toppings to choose from. I went with the regular bowl for $20, and they give you a pretty good amount for the price. They also have a small for $16 if you're not super hungry. I got all spicy tuna, and honestly it wasn't too spicy. So if you're someone who usually avoids spicy food, I think you'd still be fine with it. The portions were solid, there were plenty of toppings, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it's a good place to stop by and grab a quick bite without feeling like you didn't get enough food for what you paid. read more

I usually love this place, but the piece of avocado I got tasted rotten :( it was super brown and tasted sour... The fish was good otherwise! The yellowtail and tuna were definitely the best. read more

I have to start off by saying that I have never seen pork rinds as a topping option at a poke bowl place. Not my personal choice, but Baby Bear (but more like Goldilocks) was alll over this. He has never been so excited over poke before. What made this "his place" was when we realized that avocado was a part of the standard mix-ins. We also really liked that crab salad and seaweed salad were standard as well. Not a ton of protein options but the spicy tuna and spicy salmon were whole chunks of fish - not the pasty mix type like too many poke places have (yuck). This is definitely more of a takeout place though. There are a handful of small tables, with 1-2 of the tables taken by the employees and there's a strong smell of commercial lemon bleach cleaner. Not horrid but I prefer to just pick up and go. Would I go out of my way to come here? No. But if in the area and craving poke bowl takeout, it's a decent spot. read more
Biggest poke bowls I've ever seen! The regular bowl lets you have up to three proteins, of which I enjoyed the salmon and tamago the most. After that, the toppings are all included. I loved the fact that I could get ginger, avocado, crab salad, and seaweed salad at no additional cost. I really like the masago and tomatoes as well. I think I may need to play around with which sauce I choose next time, as the house sauce didn't have much flavor to it. Service was quick and the place was fairly quiet. Overall, I'm excited to come back here and try all the options they have. read more

Amazing poke place! Staff are very friendly and gives a lot in the bowl. Definitely worth the money. I got hamachi and octopus. Love their house sauce. Pork skin is not as good as I expected after reading other reviews but definitely a unique topping. Shop is small but with some tables. Never really gets too crowded. read more

My exact rating would be a 3.5/5 stars. An average poke place, very clean inside and nice workers! Pricing is fair in my opinion as they give complimentary crab salad and avocado, usually other places charge for extra or count the crab salad as a protein. They also had tamago available which I haven't seen yet! Food was good, nothing to complain about but also not much to rave either since nothing stuck out flavor wise. Unsure if I'd be back again as there are other places I'd rather go to if I'm craving a poke bowl. Worth a try though! read more
Will 100% be returning here for a poke bowl. The value for how much they fill up the bowl is great. Most poke places are close to $20 for a small these days, which is pretty pricy to me. Though the small here is close to that, it was worth it with how many things they stacked on the bowl. A major thing for me is additional costs for certain items. I was pleasantly surprised that avocado and seaweed salad had no additional charge! I was the only one there when I came, so I was helped right away. Service was quick and I was extremely satisfied with my bowl. It was piled high and the worker just smushed it all down with the lid. Inside is pretty small. Maybe 3-4 tables? I took my food to go and it was still very delicious after sitting for a bit. My favorite spot for a bowl for sure. read more
I was in the neighborhood running errands, and realized it was lunch time. I drove by Poke Paradise and was inclined to check it out. I ordered two regular poke bowls (one for me and one for my love) -- one over mixed greens and the other over white rice. For the protein, I chose Tuna and Salmon and just went in for every single topping and sauce offered on the menu. Trust me, it's better to try it all. My poke bowl was delicious. The fish was fresh and the toppings were of great quality -- I could literally taste every ingredient distinctively with every bite. I'm not on this side of town a lot but when I'm in the area again, I would not mind hitting this place up for an afternoon treat. Bonus: the staff were really friendly also. Friendly, efficient, and all smiles. read more
I was excited to try this place since the reviews were so high. On the plus, they offer a great assortment of toppings at no extra charge. On the downside, I found that even after 20 mins of store opening, at the fish was already fishy smelling and tasting. Make sure to ask for a sample bite before you get your bowl! The hamachi was not fresh at all so I stuck with salmon which was least fishy tasting. The employee was nice and helpful but I probably won't be returning especially with the weather warming up. read more

- The spicy tuna is diced not mashed like everywhere else. This place is Expensive. Somehow spent $40 on 2 poke bowls and 2 sodas. read more
Returning customer because not many poke places has soba for base. The protein choices are standard, but I also like that I can choose brown sesame, black sesame and seaweed flakes for toppings. Service is good. You can join in their loyalty program too. They used to make a big box of food, but now with inflation the portion has come down. $16.50 a regular bowl and it fills me up but with no left overs. read more
