I am a poke lover and have tried several places in Long Beach and everyone said I had to try to Poke Pola. There is a paid lot right behind and also plenty of metered street parking. I went in and was greeted by a nice woman and glanced over the menu and saw it was pretty clear and direct. I ordered the regular size bowl with 3 proteins I did spicy tuna, Aji and yellowtail and then you can add as many toppings if you want, which was my favorite part of the whole experience! The sauces were also good. I think I opted for one of the basic ones and then I also ordered a bowl of miso soup. The whole transaction was pretty quick and everyone there was pleasant and nice and the price wasn't too high either. I got the food to go and ate it when I got home. The only thing I wasn't 100% into was the spicy tuna. It was like the spicy tuna you'd find in a spicy tuna roll and I was expecting ahi tuna with spicy mayo, so that was just a learning experience. The miso soup was ok, and overall I will definitely go back to this spot again. One request: I wish they had mango as a topping, but overall very enjoyable! read more

Poke Pola - Interior - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Poke Pola hands down is the best poke place around. I have tried a handful of poke places in the area and nothing else comes close. First you get a good size portion for your bowl. You get three scopes of protein and the fish has always been good and fresh. There is a good amount of toppings to choose from, all included. (Unless you want extra scoops of crab meat and avocado). The sauces are all good, but I go with the Nirvana which has the perfect blend of flavor and spice. It is a bit pricy ($20), but it's worth it. read more

This restaurant is a small cozy restaurant. The server is friendly and helpful to assist with navigating the various items to build my poke bowel. For my protein I selected tuna, grilled chicken, white rice, green onions, seaweed. It was delicious and fresh. read more

My order: Large poke, white rice, 2x tuna 2x spicy tuna, seaweed salad, cucumbers, masago, edamame, avocado, furikake, fried onions, nirvana sauce, spicy mayo, gochujang sauce. Now, I'm no stranger to heat, so please don't order the above if it's daunting. My mix gives it a salty, savory, umami, and definitely spicy kick (but low on other heat scales). I almost ordered on UberEats then went to pick it up admittedly. There's a snafu on the app where it forces you to pick all different proteins! So I walked over and said forget it, I got this. I'm glad I did. A large bowl (4 proteins) is $21 and some change. On the UberEats app? That's what they're showing for a regular with 3! If you can, please just stop by. The people are super sweet. It's a quaint spot with outdoor dining. You don't even have to dress fancy or anything. read more

Poke Pola - Customize Your Large Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Poke Pola is my absolute favorite poke place in Long Beach. My go-to proteins are always salmon, yellowtail and spicy tuna! Their topping bar is extensive and your first scoop of avocado is free/included! The quality of fish is fresh and so buttery. In terms of ambiance they have both indoor and outdoor seating. My mom and I personally enjoy their outdoor seating especially in warmer weather because it's fun to see all the life happening on Belmont Shore. I recently messed up my order through UberEats. Although I could not resolve the issue on the UberEats app itself, I called the restaurant, explained the situation and the management at Poke Pola went ABOVE and BEYOND in helping me resolve MY mistake on their end. When you care about your customers, people return and that's just a fact. On top of how amazing their food is, I love that this is a family-owned establishment with owners who seem to care about both their employees and customers. Poke Pola is my favorite and I will never stop recommending it to others! read more

Poke Pola was my go to poke spot when I still had UberEats. I would still order from them time to time and pay the fees if I'm desperate. Well, today I was craving Poke Pola and ordered it for delivery. Food was delivered just fine but the food was awful today, specifically the rice, which is the base for all the toppings. It's super sticky/tacky and it's a weird texture in the mouth, which is not making it enjoyable to eat at all. read more

Best quality poke we've found in Long Beach. Everything is extremely fresh. Portions are big, generous. The staff is wonderful. The owners are the sweetest. Anytime we go somewhere else, we can't help but feel like this place really is the #1 pick of them all. read more

Saw a recent entitled complaint about their dog not being allowed inside. This was clearly not a service dog. I can always appreciate small businesses standing up for themselves to enforce a health and cleanliness standard. Craving poke anyways so we decided to visit Thursday, 09/25/25, for lunch. Happy to have found our new poke go-to place. Food was fresh and staff were attentive to our questions. We'll be back again. read more

Poke is one of my favorite dishes and I've tried it every chance I get. Poke Pola is hands down my favorite version of it. The fish is consistently totally fresh and delicious, and the toppings are generously heaped! The staff is always friendly and from a sustainability standpoint, I really appreciate the reusable rather than disposable bowls when eating in. I'll continue with my weekly habit at Poke Pola as long as they are and I am here! read more

Located in the middle of Belmont shore, this small poke joint is legit. Fish was fresh and prepared well. Super happy they have yellow tail available. Lots of options to create your bowl. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. First of all the owners are incredibly nice and everyone they hire is very warm, they're always sure to greet you when you walk in. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's fun to sit outside and people watch the busy foot traffic on 2nd st while you enjoy your food. Their miso soup is an amazing addition to your meal and warms you right up. If you're vegan like me, you can easily get a poke bowl with tofu, I like to do half brown rice half mixed greens, tofu, and then they have so many fresh toppings. Avocado is free which is a bonus! The perfect filling lunch on the shore read more

Very large serving of poke! The regular bowl allowed three different proteins, and the fish (I tried salmon and yellowtail) tasted good. They also let you add many toppings free of charge (including avocado and imitation crab), so I added one of each. A very filling bowl indeed :) read more

Fantastic service and great food! They were very helpful and the setting was very nice and relaxing

Update: My last review was about the tiny portion control but since I've been back a few times afterwards, I noticed they went back to a full serving that filled their bowl. Thank you! The atmosphere is still underwhelming and poke is a bit overpriced, like an expensive fast food restaurant but the poke is good and super convenient. read more

Great place for poke on 2nd Street! I built my own bowl with three proteins - salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna. I found the salmon and tuna to be fresh and delicious, but the spicy tuna was a bit too salty for me. It's awesome that you can get one of every topping included in the price of your build-a-bowl. There's some indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend sitting outside and people watch while enjoying your poke! Friendly service! read more

Poke Pola - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Simple and delicious is just the way I like my poke. I was glad that the poke wasn't already pre-mixed. I got to choose the base, protein, and the mix-ins to make my version of poke. I was very happy with the outcome. Also, I like how there are different sizes to choose from. I got the kid size which is the smallest. However, I felt like I got a lot for what I paid for. Plus, everything tasted fresh! I'm glad that they have staff that knows what they are doing. Beware that it does smell a little like the seafood market. Although, it might be a little fishy inside, they do have outside sitting and you can do a little people watching. I'm glad that I stopped by for some delicious poke and I can't wait to come back! read more

Basically anything you want to add to your bowl that is very typical in a poke is an extra charge of $2: seaweed salad, masago, crabmeat, and avocado (which this one is normal). At the price of $19/$22 for a bowl, you would expect the normal poke items to be included with the bowl, so that's just very weird, I've never seen a place up-charge for those things. The quality is okay though not anything that stands out, but not bad either. The service is also very bad. We decided to also get ice cream from their fridge, which had pricing labels on the fridge door. So we got multiple and realized they are charging almost double what is listed, and they told us that both of the prices that are labeled are for "a different ice cream", neither of which they actually had inside the fridge, so I'm not sure what the listed prices are for. Instead of apologizing that they are charging us almost double their listed prices, and maybe try to accommodate, they just got very hostile. I actually don't know how they have a 4 star rating, it's very mediocre, especially because the atmosphere isn't nice either, just a very small and dark shop. read more

Pretty good poke place in Long Beach! The only complaint I have is it is on the pricier side (~$19 for a regular bowl which is the smallest option). But I will say the fish is fresh and they don't skimp on the protein, bases, toppings or sauce. You can also get as many toppings as you'd like. Seems to be a family owned business and the owners are kind. Just a heads up that because it's on 2nd street, you'll probably have to pay for parking! read more

I chose this place because it had some gluten free options for my husband plus we were in the area! Its in belmont shore so parking is limited. Its got enough space to sit and enjoy and everyone is VERY nice. The portions are generous and they have yellowtail!!!! I would definitely pay extra for that. I feel like their prices are normal especially for the area. I cant wait to come back!! read more

Poke Pola - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Favorite poke spot, well balanced portions, lots of topping options, always tastes fresh and yummy. Poke is truly meant to be eaten fresh so I like that I can finish this whole bowl without leftovers or feeling too full. I usually get 1/2 salad & 1/2 rice with 3 choices of protein. Every bite is so flavorful and yummy. I love that you can choose your marinades and sauces, then they mix it fresh for every customer. I inhaled this bowl and was extremely satisfied. Perfect place to pick up a bowl and enjoy by the beach, or dine in with in door and outdoor seating options. It's on second street so parking can be tough depending on the time and day. Service is fast and easy going, they're always friendly. read more

5+ Stars! This restaurant has been my go to spot for the last 2 years that I've been living in Long Beach. I always find my way to Poke Pola for lunch or dinner wether I walk, bike, or drive. They are located off 2nd street which is a great place to be. 2nd street has tons of restaurants, bars, shopping, desserts, and so much more all around. There is tons of meter street parking but it's always full (Good Luck) they also have meter parking in the back. Poke Pola offers a great selection of everything. You walk up to place your order and choose your size, base, protein, greens, spice factor, and toppings. Everything is to your liking so if you would like less or more sauce, you can just let them know and they will do just that. Everything is always fresh, every time i go in I say "it smells fishy" in a good way lol The portions are just right, most people I take say "wow, this is a lot" but I'm like "give me more please" lol They have indoor and outdoor seating, so feel free to bring the pups and enjoy the outdoor seating. The service is always great, the owners are always present and from the outside looking in, they always seem to be doing anything and everything they ask their employees to do. The staff usually seem to be a younger group and they are always very friendly and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable on the menu and always helpful with suggestions if needed. Everyone seems to work very well together which is one of the main reasons I love coming back. A great team and environment brings in returning customers. I'm a raving fan of Poke Pola and I can't wait to hear how much you love it as well. Enjoy! SYoY :) read more

7/26/23 Geez! $42 for 2 poke bowls!? Okay, It's $2.50 for the drink (w/ Refills). And I'm still hungry LOL. Hubby actually likes it better than my All About Poke joint. Not I. For me, price point & the taste, no contest, but I'm glad we tried it today. The sauces are not as tasty or savory. We both chose half salad & half brown rice. There's indoor & outdoor dining. Service is fairly efficient. The toppings are adequate, looks clean & organized (avocado, . crab meat, seaweed salad, masago, green, onions, edamame, ginger, wasabi, parsley). The scoops are fairly small. Of note, we ate outdoors (patio) there were flies we had to swat several times. Maybe we'll return. read more

This is hands down the best poke bowl I've ever had. I drive straight from work in Torrance to Poke Pola then drool all the way home to Paramount 1-2 times a week. I could eat here EVERYDAY! read more

Poke Pola is my favorite place to get some fresh poke in the Long Beach area. Their standout is their fresh sauce called Life After Death which I would highly recommend if you have a good spice tolerance. At poke places, it can be difficult to find sauces that are spicy enough, but this place does the job. The spice is also not too overpowering that it covers the freshness of the fish. Portions are always good here for the price, and there are a couple tables inside and outside to enjoy your food. The place is ran by a sweet Korean family so I always make the effort to come by and support when I am craving poke in the area. read more

Amazing. Absolutely wonderful. Was craving poke and wanted to try out a new place. I'm not in the 2nd St area too often, so I used uber eats too get my food to my job in downtown LB, and it was so fresh that it felt like I was eating this fresh off the fisherman's boat. Jokes aside, I'm really happy with my bowl considering the 3 miles it traveled to get to me. I ordered the large bowl with 2 scoops of seared albacore, 1 of yellowtail and 1 of tuna. I also got two scoops of crab salad because I love that stuff. For the rest of my toppings I got cucumber, edamame, ginger, green onions, seaweed salad, masago, avocado and sesame seeds finished with their "Live a little" sauce. This was my first time seeing tortilla chips as an option for the base so I decided to try that along with my usual rice base. It's like eating poke nachos! Super bomb. Next time I'll probably ask for the chips on the side so they don't start to get soggy on me, but I'm a huge fan of the chips in a bowl! Also, did I mention the avocado is a regular topping so you don't have to pay extra for it? How neat! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

The prices for poke here are quite expensive for what you get! It's about $20 for the large bowl. Also not a big fan of how much sauce they put on the toppings and poke. The rice is supposed to compliment the sauce/poke, but the rice is drenched with sauce. I usually get the house poke sauce but I tried the Nirvana recently which I really liked! I do enjoy the location and the outdoor seating area. The employees are friendly and fast down the line of condiments. The fish here tastes fresh compared to other poke spots in town. I like how they give free avocado as a topping because other spots will charge more. If you are on 2nd street, I do recommend this place! I just have high standards for poke! read more

Great service. Seriously, when you walk in your greeted with a very friendly old couple, and or staff. They have eco friendly spoons and forks!! The ambiance is gentle yet inviting.

Was visiting the area and popped in to get something to take to Sunset Beach. I did half white rice, half field greens. And then for the proteins I had spicy tuna, seared albacore and yellow tail. Topped it off with some green onion, ginger, cilantro, sesame seeds, and finally fried onions. I got some of the Haus poke sauce. FYI, the spicy tuna is all chopped up into fine little pieces. It's very spicy. This is really good although I think I might've gotten a little too spicy. Highly recommend eating it on the beach. read more
