    This place is to die for! It is like a Poki bowl , salad bowl, and main dish all in one!! What a great combination of food in one . You can choose what you want in your bowl. So many ingredients to choose from. Service is spot on. It is clean , you can eat in or out . Nice surroundings downtown. I recommend this place .

    I love Poke Pola. The prices have increased over the years, but I feel like they have remained consistent with the amount of fish and abundance of toppings that they offer. Avocado is an INCLUDED topping on the poke bowls, which is such an amazing deal in this economy. I also love the options of corn, edamame, and tempura flakes. I like stopping here for lunch and then walking around to the little shops around to digest.

    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

    Salmon, salad/white rice, avocado, seaweed salad, red onions, green onions, furikake, and house sauce. Enjoyed.

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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 :)

    Fist time here I been wanting to try this place ! But there is never parking lol Luckily today I found parking right in front so it was meant to be ! The service was really good the guys there were attentive and super nice I got a regular bowl with salmon and spicy tuna It was absolutely delicious I love spicy so it was perfect ! The bowl was 20 bucks not bad for it because 2 people can literally share ! So it's worth the buck !! Will definitely go back !

    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.

    Poke2 Grill is located inside The Hanger at the LBX. I've been here a few times, and have always…read morebeen underwhelmed. I usually end up here because I love poke and that it is one of the lighter/healthier options in the food court. The portions are good, but the toppings are more on the limited side compared to other nearby poke places. The fish is not the freshest, not sure where they are sources them. My chief complaint are the sauces and their lack of flavor. At my last visit, I asked for the spicy yuzu ponzu. I saw them add it to the bowl, but when I sat down to enjoy, I could not taste anything. It was super bland and on top of that there was absolutely no spice for a spicey sauce. Not sure I was stop here again given the other nearby options.

    I've been coming to Poke2 Grill for years and have lost count of how many times I've actually eaten…read morehere. My most recent visit was about two weeks ago and the experience was consistent with what keeps me coming back. This is one of my go-to spots within The Hanger in Long Beach. It's a straightforward, build-your-own poke spot. I stand in line, look through the display case, choose my proteins, pick my toppings, and pay at the end. I've never had any issues with ordering or wait time. The staff has always been pretty friendly and relatively helpful. Once you get your bowl, you can usually find seating but it can be a little hectic at times. On my latest visit, I ordered a medium poke bowl with tuna, tofu, and crab meat. The fish was fresh, flavorful, well-portioned, and the overall bowl was great. Portions are solid and prices seem fair to me for the quality and location. My one gripe, and the reason this isn't a full five star review, is the menu clarity around the crab meat. It's a bit misleading. It looks like crab is included with the small bowl but it actually counts as one of the three proteins for the medium bowl. I personally wish the crab meat were treated as a topping rather than a protein.
