I always order their double salmon plate (spicy mayo and spicy garlic) and it's consistently delicious. The woman at the front is so kind and welcoming. The store is small with about 3/4 tables to sit at. It's never really crowded whenever I've gone. read more

The best "hole in a wall" restaurant in the area. The couple that works and owns this business are extremely dedicated, kind, and just wonderful human beings in general. Their food is just as amazing as their service. Amazing quality of fish they use for their poke and the flavors are amazing and fresh. Don't forget to try the Kalua Pork and their Adobo chicken. It's incredible. You won't regret it. Amazing service, quality, and flavor. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!! read more

Poke Plus - Adobo chicken w Kalua Pork!!! So freaking good! - Hawaiian Near Me - Long Beach, California

Das da ono kine right here. The closest thing to a real hawaiian experience, not the haole mainland washed "poke bowl" for hipsters. I love this plave, especially their tuesdays deal where you get half pound of one flavor of poke with rice and furikake and a drink. Rice is hot and fresh and that's how it should be... not cold sushi rice like other "poke bowl" places do. This place also offers real hawaiian sun canned drinks yummm Their poke here is fresh--their ginger and spicy mayo are solid. Ginger is a little sweeter and spicy mayo kicks your tastebuds with love. My favoriteis original hawaiian limu!! Youll feel like youre tasting the ocean. So gooood They let you try 3 samples which is very nice. Parking shares a small lot with the tiny plaza. I recommend this place for good fresh poke. They also have filipino and hawaiian food. Das how. Their breakfasts are a catch, $4.50 for the perfect over easy eggs, meat of your choice over hot steamed rice. read more

So... Now that I've been here quite a few times, I feel obligated to throw my two cents into the hat. But first, a brief history lesson. My first time here I noticed a few things right off the bat. The interior is small. Like really small, and at the time, would only seat about 10 or 12 peeps at a few small tables along the wall. There was, (take note of the past tense), some additional seating along the front window, which, for God only knows why, they have since removed. That fact alone keeps me in the "take-out" only mode, as there never seems to be any available seating in the joint at lunchtime. The business is located in a tiny a$$ "strip mall" of sorts, with about 5 or 6 other businesses and the parking is very, very, limited. As for the poke, well, the poke itself is great. Always fresh, always tasty and a multitude of flavors are available. But my favorite poke just so happens to be the "spicy mayo". I usually get the "signature poke bowl". Comes with a generous amount of poke, (with an ever so subtle hint of spice), that absolutely smothers a bed of perfectly steamed, (and seasoned), white rice. Yummy to the third power!!! The "sweet and spicy" is not a bad option either tho... The prices are decent and the service is always friendly. read more

Plus: one of the only places you can get poke before 11am. I ordered the Kaili Combo. It came with adobo (which I thought was Filipino) and a side of poke. The chicken was meaty and not too salty (good taste!) and the I tried Spicy Mayo Poke. They have a variety of probably 6-9 choices that I didn't count. I'm always afraid of eating poke that has been sitting out in a fridge, but this was tasted fresh. I do wish I had more rice tho! Pro-tip: next time I'm going to ask if I can have the poke on the side. Since I ordered Togo, it started to get warm/room temperature and I like my poke cold! Will def. be back! read more

I been going to poke etc for a long time no issue before. I moved to san diego for a few yrs and now im back in the area and Yesterday decided to get some poke. I was kinda surprise with the name changed. We ordered half a pound of spicy mayo. While i was eating i bit something hard. I pull it out and surprised to see it was a finger nail. Well probably wont be coming back here ever again. read more

The closest tasting poke to that of the fresh poke from Hawaii. I love how simple, yet flavorful the poke is here. None of the extra "fluff" that the other poke spots load up on your bowls to mask the quality of their fish. My favorite? The spicy tuna poke over a bed of hot rice. For under $15, you'll have a delicious meal that has you craving a trip to Hawaii! read more

I work down the street by the oil refineries and this spot is definitely my go-to every lunch as it is a prime location for my area as it is lacking good food places. I usually order the traditional Filipino food, Sweet longanisa. It comes with either white or brown rice and your choice of 2 eggs. Would definitely recommend if you wanna eat oily soulfood -- the Filipino way. I also get Poke bowl if I'm feeling healthy. They have variety of choices, but my go-to is the Hawaiian Limo over brown rice. Oh, don't forget their Spam Musubi that they make daily. On top of that, the staff is really friendly! Good food and great staff is what makes me come back here. I will for sure recommend this hidden gem. read more

Okay, I was so lucky to find this right off the highway. Poke craving SATISFIED. He was kind enough to allow me to sample all of the options before placing my order. All delicious. Did not feel pressured whatsoever. The oyster sauce ahi tuna was amazing with the warm brown rice. My dad got a traditional Spam Silog (3 thick slices of span, 2 over medium eggs over rice). Reasonable prices. So tasty. Wish we had this filipino poke spot in the Bay Area! I will be back :). read more

This is a great mom and pop shop. They have a great selection here! Their poke flavors are really good and they are very quick to make your order. 4/5 times you will get good cuts of meat! Occasionally you might get something that smells more on the fishy side/be brown in color. I love coming here but sometimes I go else where; depends on if I want to gamble but I would recommend trying this place out because when it's good, it's really good! read more

I felt bad ... This was my first time here and with my internship in Long Beach, I had them bookmarked and finally got a chance to check it out. This small hole in the wall serves pretty authentic poke. I was greeted with happy smiles by a man and woman, the latter who helped me choose. She was very generous with the samples and I have to say, they were all pretty good! Some were a little heavy on the sauce but the ahi was fresh and cut in large chunks. It was so hard to choose which one to buy because I had to limit myself to one poke and a small portion. The wasabi was prevalent for that flavor as well as the fresh ginger. The limu was also delicious and was a thinner sauce, which I liked as well. The kimchee could have been stronger and same with the sweet&spicy. Because I only wanted a little bit (to pair with my salad at home), I only got $2.97 worth. I felt really bad and ended up tipping them another $2. Will be back to try the lau lau. read more

I always see this Poke joint on the way to work. And I was a little hesitant to try a Poke place in Long Beach after my one failed experience. But I ended up giving it a go, since I've heard a lot of good things about Poke Etc... and I'm glad I did. The lady that assisted me was really friendly. She let me try all the different flavors that they offered. I ended up going with the sweet and spicy bowl. It is really tasty! And I've been hooked on that sauce! I keep going back to it. Hopefully sooner or later I'll try something else. And if you don't see any fish in the front display, don't get sad.. Get glad! Because they are able to make more in the back. I was hoping they would surprise me with more Spam Masubi in the back.. but no.. Once the platter in front is gone, then that is it until the next morning. Service: I've only had the chance to interact with the lady. She is really friendly. Reminds me of my Tita. lol. Parking: Never had a problem finding parking. Price: for a Sweet and Spicy tuna bowl, a spam masubi, and a water cost about 11 dollars. And the portions are a good size! I was definitely satisfied when I was done. Will I be back? Hell yeah! Cause I pass it every day when I go to work.. That means I pass it every time I go home! So if i'm craving the sweet and spicy sauce, or something poke, I'll definitely be back! read more

Every time I come down to Long Beach, I find myself craving the poke here. It is authentic, just like I found in Hawaii a decade ago. It's not like the other poke places that keep popping up but their fish isn't well marinated. They marinate their fresh fish deliciously here and you don't need one of 2 dozen sides to make it tasty. Simple and delectable. The decor is hole in the wall so don't expect anything modern and fancy. Come here for the food and for the mom and pop feel. read more

Always a good experience here. Prices are fair and the portions are decent. Great staff and really good flavored poke. I like the sweet and spicy flavor a lot, but there are many others to try! This is a great spot for lunch since it's super quick to get in and out, though they do have some indoor seating at this location if you'd prefer to eat in! Overall a great lunch option for good and affordable poke! Stay Cheerful ;) read more

I'm not sure how this place is still open. I'm hoping I don't get food poisoning. I got the salmon poke and it tasted really fishy. Really expensive for a place that does not guarantee fresh fish.

No no no it's over priced and didn't taste good I paid about 20 bucks and threw it away and everything is extra ginger extra wasabi extra

Quick background story: I'm a kitchen supervisor of an establishment with a capacity of almost 700 patrons that made over $1 million in sales for the month of August so I kinda know my way around food Anyway.. I used to love this place until this lady became in charge of the front. I was about to place a takeout order through yelp since they apparently do take-out as it states on their page but decided to call in instead. A lady picked up and I ordered 1 sweet Longanisa breakfast and 1 illocano Longanisa breakfast along with a salmon bowl. She then asks me how long I would take to arrive and I said 5-10 minutes since it's literally less than a mile away from my residence. She then says that she'll start firing my order when I arrive. If this was the case, then why would take-out even be an option? Why even take my order if you won't start cooking it until I get to you? I stated that to the lady on the phone and she started justifying her actions by telling me that someone called in yesterday for take out and never came. Very unprofessional and unnecessary. Did I really need to know that? I just need to know if you can do call in take outs or not. Okay again so why would you even take my order down if you're not gonna start cooking it? Why even waste my breath? I told her I'm a regular for their poke so she asks for my name and number and I thought we were good. When I arrive, she then keeps giving me reasons on why she wasn't sure about putting in my order to start and trying to get me to understand which was so uneccessary. I then pay and even buy a seaweed salad as well. I get home and I kill the salmon bowl. I check out the Longanisa plates and both we're stale, overcooked and almost burnt to a crisp. The call was getting cut off so it was hard to understand and it hung up. They call me back and I tell her the problem she offers to make this right and offers me a replacement. When I get back, I show them the food and instead of redoing my food, they give me a refund which is totally fine even though it was the total opposite of what she stated. But then she states that this is how they prepare their food and it's supposed to look like that. What really took me over the top was when she then repeatedly said, " if you say you're a regular like you said, you'd know that. " Are you implying that I'm a liar? I was appalled at choice of words. Whatever happened to THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT? I tried to keep it cool and I did. By the way, both of them brought up the fact that we're all filipino and we're all just trying to work and this and that. There's this unspoken filipino rule that we're supposed understand each other and take care of each other a little more extra than others when we're abroad. Even if that wasn't their intentions or implications, they made me feel as if ethnicity was a conflict of interest which is discriminatory. I told them two to three times that race/ethnicity has nothing to do with this issue and I just wanted them to make this right but instead, they didn't replace my food like they said they would, and I was literally attacked of my credibility of my statements when I said I was a regular. Like really? I seldomly do yelp reviews but when I do make them, it's usually because I had a very bad experience. This place has very unprofessional and had unethical practices. Never coming here again read more

Poké etc what do I have to say. Poke is good and close to authentic, but the Portuguese sausage eggs and rice is what I come here for. Price is always a good thing, the breakfast is very reminiscent of home and not to mention they have longanisa here too. It's a convenient drive on the way to the office off the 710. read more

Once again, Yelp saves the day! My family and I went to the Queen Mary for the day and when we were ready for dinner we consulted Yelp when Poke Etc popped up. What I loved about Poke Etc is the wonderful service and the top-notch poke. It's not the trendy poke that everyone serves nowadays, aka tiny scoops of fish and an overabundance of veggies and non-poke fixings covering the bowl. This is the way I prefer my poke: big chunks of marinated fish served simply over a bowl of steamed rice and a generous sprinkling of furikake. I had the limu bowl and it was absolutely wonderful. There are also Hawaiian items on the menu, including breakfast favorites like Spam and eggs, corned beef, and lolo moco. They even had Ilocano longanisa, which was a nice surprise. We later learned that food writer Clarissa Wei had this place on her recommended poke spots in L.A. Definitely worth it! read more

This used to be my favorite poke spot in Long Beach. I've been a huge fan since they've opened, many years ago.. The workers are great, the quality was excellent, but today.. I did not have that same experience.. I was given a smaller bowl, more rice, much less poke than before, at a higher cost.. Terribly disappointed and will not be going back.. read more

Good food, fresh and delicious poke, great service-all at an affordable price! Definitely a must to try! My favorite dish would be the kahlua pork. Their version of it is warm and savory. Also, instead of the hawaiian platters coming with the staple macaroni salad, they give you a hefty amount of poke on the side. There are numerous flavors to choose from and for the indecisive, like myself, they allow you try each flavor until you find one that you like. I, for one, always get the ginger poke. You can also buy the poke per pound, in case you wanted to bring some home. Additionally, they have a wide array of filipino and hawaiian breakfast items so I definitely have to be back early in the morning to try them all. read more

If your looking for Hawaiian style poke, this is the place your looking for! In my opinion, its the closest thing to Hawaii here in Cali. I live 45 minutes away so every time I'm in the area I always stock up. This place give off total mom and pop vibes, the last time I came by they were so sweet and gave my kids a free spam musubi. The filipino food is fire too, I recommend the longanisa rice with 2 fried eggs. It tastes just like how my parents use to make it. read more

With the abundance of poke bowl places appearing throughout Southern California, this place is the closest to capturing the authenticity of a true Hawaiian Poke. No other place compares. Everytime I come here the fish is fresh and the rice is freshly cooked. I've become fixated on the Basic Spicy Poke. It gives a kick in heat but not too much to cloak the flavors of the ahi. Limu in the Limu Poke is fresh every single time i've ordered it. I also love that they have a wide selection of Hawaiian Sun drinks to choose from to quench a thirst. I have never experienced a long wait to order or receiving food and the staff is always welcoming and helpful. read more

Foods delicious !!!!!! spicy Mayo poke and sweet longanisa breakfast is my FAVORITE .

I love this spot, it's nice having a traditional Pokè spot and not all of the chipotle Pokè spots

By far the BEST spot in town for poke, taste just like if you were to be in Hawaii. I come here for their breakfast and poke. My favorite is the kimchee and Hawaiian limo! Yes they've raised their price by only a couple bucks but that's due to this pandemic. I highly recommend this place for their amazing food. read more

No hokey poke here! With all this poke hype business buzzing these days it's hard to find a poke spot that is not designed after a Subway Sandwich assembly line that makes their business mixing ingredients I call "distractors" with the main ingredient of POKE. Look no further, Poke Etc. is here for you as they have been for me. This here is their third and newest location. Poke Etc is better than other poke restaurants, because why? Because they also serve hot plates. Pacific Islander grub like loco moco, chicken katsu curry, or chicken adobo (to name a few). Magical touch is the umami dust of furikake they sprinkle on the rice. They also serve breakfast all day! Choices include: Portuguese sausage with eggs, corned hash with rice, pork tocino, and my favorite, longsanisa (Filipino sausage) with rice and eggs. The parking lot is pretty small so be prepared for tight squeezes and crazy drivers. This location is the smallest of the three but has the same looks as the others. Hawaiian nick nacks are used as decoration and are available to buy. At the counter you'll have the opportunity to purchase other goodies like taro flavored pancake mix, cheese cupcakes from a so cal Filipino dessert vendor. Behind the glass display case sits a very welcoming and friendly worker who is ready to serve you the reason why you're probably here: the poke! There are about 9-10 small containers filled slightly with the magical cubes of fish and other ocean delicacies. Flavors of tuna or salmon include: Tako (octopus) *Wasabi Sweet and spicy Kimchee *fresh ginger Spicy Limu *mayo spicy *Oyster Ask to try before you buy. They can be a little heavy handed with the sauce, but isn't that what the rice is for? If you don't see what you like, don't fret! Closed mouths don't get fed - ask if they can make it or if they have it hiding in the back fridge somewhere and you'll be glad you did. Seaweed salad, macaroni salad, kimchi and rice is optional. Spam musubi (spam thinly sliced wrapped with rice by seaweed) sits on the counter crying out excitedly "don't forget me!" and you better listen. Prices are reasonable and you pay by weight : 1/2lb for $6.75. I'd like to choose all of them, but I guess I should save some for other patrons. I typically choose 3 or 4 quarter pound servings with a side of Mac salad and seaweed salad to share with another human. The spam musubi adds the warm and rice element. Quality service and quality fish makes Poke Etc one of our top poke spots. read more
