I recently stopped by Poke Rainbow in Van Nuys and had a solid experience overall. The place is small but clean and organized, and the staff was friendly and helpful while I was ordering. it has a classic poke shop feel where you walk through the line, pick your ingredients, and watch them build your bowl. I ended up getting a poke bowl with a variety of fresh fish, edamame, seaweed, cucumber, and a good amount of spicy toppings and seasoning on top. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. The combination of the fish, crunchy toppings, and sauce worked really well together and made for a satisfying bowl. What I appreciated most was the meal felt light but still filling. The ingredients tasted clean and it sat well on my stomach afterward, which is always a good sign with poke. It felt like a balanced bowl without being overly heavy. Overall it was a good experience and a solid spot if you're craving poke in the area. Fresh ingredients, good portions, and friendly service. I would definitely come back again when I'm in the mood for a quick and satisfying poke bowl. read more

Inconsistent. The last time was great. This time the lettuce was past its prime and some of the cilantro was brown. The serving was approximately 30% smaller for the same price. Service was not the most focused. read more

Luis was so sweet with his service! He was very patient and was explaining everything very well! Very glad I found this place, will be back for sure! read more

After I had my baby this was all i wanted. I can safely say I've ordered probably 10 times since (either DoorDash or I have gone in). The quality is SO GOOD and the portions are FAT. Ordering on DoorDash I've not once had a problem. Every time it arrives it's fresh and they do not skip on the portion sizes. I just wish there was an option to add more sides like extra pineapple because I'm that person that loves extra pineapple lol. I always get the matcha Macaroon ice cream too because it's delicious. Going in store is definitely the way to go though. They have a lot more options! Which maybe they need to update DoorDash idk but definitely go in if you can! The store is exactly how I'd picture a good poke store to look. Clean, signs everywhere and plenty of options. The service is always amazing. The guy behind the counter is always a pleasure and never misses a beat! Wish I took more photos of the food lol but I always devour it before I get a chance. read more

food was good, protein portion size is TINY, got a medium cuz it came with 3 scoops of protein and when i saw how small the scoops were, i asked for a 4th scoop. This is the most expensive poke bowl I've ever had, was 25 bucks smh the service was very whatever, the girl who helped me was kind of numb vibes, the bathroom is grossss, the overall bike to eat inside is very whatever. Pole was good not amazing, i won't come back. read more

Great place for poke!! I haven't had poke in a while just because places I used to patron either have closed or they're just not as good. Glad my husband and I decided on Poke Rainbow, they give you a good amount and the poke is very fresh. I got a medium and my husband got a large, and we were very satisfied. Place has a small but clean dine-in area. The young man that took our order was very nice and helpful. Great service!! read more

Poke Rainbow - Exterior - Poke Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This place used to be great, but the quality has gone downhill badly. Portions are much smaller now -- tons of rice and barely any fish. I gave it another chance today and completely regretted it. The salmon was poorly cut, full of sinew, and totally flavorless even with sauce. It was honestly unpleasant to eat. Something clearly changed here, and not for the better. I won't be coming back. read more

So this poke place is nice. The food was fresh, the portions were a good size, and the options are plenty from toppings, protein, and other add ons, everything tasted amazing! It was only one person at the register and the same person who was assembling the food so it was a bit slow, but it makes sense. The inside is small but it's fine for grab and go. The parking is a bit small since it's in a smaller area, but other than that, I don't have much else to say. I really liked it for a quick and easy meal. Price was average for a poke place based on what's put inside. read more

OMG hands down the BEST poke in my opinion. I will say that they occasionally skimp on the salmon, especially if I order a large bowl with all salmon..... with extra salmon lol.... for some reason, when certain people are working, the distribution of the amount of salmon can be be so different, despite ordering the same thing each time in the exact same way, I have gotten a large poke bowl with four salmons + extra salmon on one occasion that was loaded with salmon.... Then the very next day, ordering the same thing, the same exact way, I will be given my large 4 scoop salmon and with extra salmon bowl and it will have half the amount of salmon the same bowl had the day before But dang that stuff is deliciousssssssssssss I am suspicious of what they may be putting in this to keep me coming back almost daily and experiencing withdrawals when I don't have my poke rainbow..... Jk This place rocks read more

This place is awesome because they give you BIG portions! I like it personally because it's very close to my house. I love that they have a punch card system where you get a free bowl after 10 purchases. I'm up for my free bowl. Can't wait to go back, read more

I've been craving Poke for some time. Since my mother's diet has changed I wanted to show her some options she can get while dining out. Poke came to mind and I thought it would be a perfect time to check out Poke Rainbow. After looking at the location and the photos. Everything looked good. The portions, protein options, toppings all looked good. I came on a Sunday morning, first customers to walk in. The girl working that day wasn't 100% ready but I told her to take care of her thing while I explain to my mother how it all works. She would also need time to see all the options she would like in her bowl. Once ready we created our meals. The place is pretty small and would recommend taking your poke to go. That day they did not have any water (tap or bottled) and was forced to get a soda just to wash our food down. I would take points off for that. What is a little confusing they have a small handheld menu on a table that you can use as reference to order your poke, but the chalkboard behind them is the most up to date. While looking at the items that will go into your bowl, the chalkboard isn't exactly a place I wouldn't be looking. Sadly, yellow tail was not available. I'm not sure if kpop is the music of choice at that shop but it was on and I liked it. Parking: small private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Came here to try this place with my daughter. We were searching for a poke bowl place on the way somewhere else. This place did not disappoint. It was so good and everything was fresh. The guy who made out food was very helpful when deciding on sauces. Definitely coming back even though it's a little further out. Very well recommend. read more

Poke Rainbow - Medium bowl - Poke Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Went for a quick, fresh lunch on a Thursday. It was okay, they were out of three items and we had to wait for them to "make" the scallops which were actually forgotten until I came back up and asked for. Then they were really watery and in this "sauce" that was thin and tasteless. I eat Poke quite a bit and actually often at the Poke Rainbow in Ventura. But today just wasn't that good. Service was friendly but being out of octopus, cilantro and Ahi tuna was kind of a bummer. Ambiance? Just asking too much. We sat at a small table next to several big boxes of toilet seat covers and toilet tissue, marked big and clear on the stacked boxes. I realize it's a small place but there is no pride in the dining room. I just don't think it was quite up to par as Poke goes. So, for the $35 it costs for 2 med bowls and a water, I guess I wanted to like it more. read more

I wanted to like this place but I received an awful bowl today. There was whole edamame in my bowl. It was so awkward having to fish them all out. I was using a fork but has to alternate with my hand to get the soybean out. The rice was also very clumped together. Overall, it was not a good experience. read more

There isn't really much to say about a pokey place, the food was fresh and the price was reasonable. Ordered it online through their website and picked it up. Definitely would recommend ordering it in store as it looks like they have more options than what is displayed on their website read more

Poke Rainbow - Menu 5.14. 25 - Poke Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Their spicy tuna was deteriorated. The service was good but it is stressful for a fresh fish to smell and taste deteriorated.

Have been going to this place since 2018 and recently it has changed a little. The quality of the fish is still the same and the poke bowls are still good. It was around $17 for a bowl with 3 proteins, so the prices have gone up lately. The service has gown down quite a bit. I was the only one ordering and they were rushing me to order. read more

I ordered online and they got my order wrong. The fish smelled and looked old. They put in rice when I asked for spring mix, completely missed the avocado that I was charged extra for. The edamame was still on the shell. They missed the soy sauce and house sauce. I order 2 of the same unfortunately. I would never order from them again. read more

Disgusting is the only word I have. Went in ordered large with salmon and tuna, the rice is hard like a rock, it's like it's been sitting out for days. The fish taste horrible worst poke I've ever tried by a long shot. Don't go here this food might just make you sick. I threw mine out after 4 bites, biggest waste of 20 dollars. read more

It's looks like the owner heard the customers complains about a bad service and took care of it. I gave it a try last Friday, and the service was excellent. The server was very friendly and nice, and the food was fresh. Portions are big. No complains this time. read more

This place is in a small strip mall with front parking. When I'm in the mood for sushi, this is the first place I think of because of the prompt service, the quality of the food and price. It has gone up in price lately but so has everything else around us. I recommend the medium with three proteins. It is not so medium and it usually last me for two meals. Or it can be for two people. It will run around $20. The other options are small for about 15, and large for about 24. They offer indoor sitting, have own bathroom and cold drinks but fountain drinks. read more

I had my mind made up that I wanted Poke. After stopping at a couple places I've been to before, both of which had signs on the door they were closing early today, I turned to Yelp and it led me to this little gem. At first, I thought they were closed to as all shades were drawn and door was closed. Luckily they were open and the crew was working hard, yet having fun moving to the music. I am so happy with my Poke bowl! Brought one home for my husband and he gives it 5 stars as well. Adequate parking, friendly employees, variety was great, everything was fresh, price is fair, and they have a punch card rewards program. I'm so happy I found this place as it is right near my parents and in the city I grew up in. read more

Pros: the suggested sauce combination options are great. Cons: Everything since 2020. Service has gone down the drain. Young kids with attitudes. The portions have shrunk dramatically. They are even stingy with the white rice! LoL They removed a couple of items from the menu - noticeably items that cost more. They raised their prices too even though they are trained to give you less portions now. Conclusion: This was my favorite poke spot until the last year or two. I think today will be my last day coming here. I don't mind paying for quality, but even the quality is not there anymore. Poke competition is low near that area and maybe that's why the owner feels he/she can get away with these changes. I would recommend driving elsewhere and finding a new place. For a two item order (one small and one large), I paid just over $42. And, both orders looked like someone had already snacked on them. Maybe you would not have lost loyal customers if yellowtail and noodles were still on the menu. read more

The staff in here sets the STANDARD for customer service!!! Sincerely awesome friendly people. They even offered to change the TV for us. It was like i was having dinner at a friend's. Helped me with my bowl and was very excited I was a returning customer (just at a diff location). They had all my favorites and hooked a brother up! The only downside is, needs a little extra cleaning but believe me i've been in bathrooms that were 1000000x worse than this at "better" establishments. Thank you!!! Sorry i didn't get any of your names but believe me, you know youre amazing :) read more

This place is very amazing. We have been coming here for the past 10 years. Very delicious. Amazing food good price.

I just went to order the food from here on Sep 27,2022 @6:00 pm I took my nephew who come visit us from out side of state. I feel so bad with service who took my order . I don't know he had a bad day or not . I'm own a restaurant as well . He had an attitude when he took order . We take a little time to explain to my nephew and I think he not happy . He pack our food dirty and unprofessional. No smile on his face . When he done just give me a bag and walk away to the kitchen. I feel so bad for my nephew who are first time try poke bowl and this restaurant. If you think you guys busy and don't care customers like what you did good luck for your business. Will never ever come back here again . Ps . I didn't give him any tip that why he not happy . You not deserve it sorry read more

I get my food delivered. I'm one of your best customers. In the last 6 or 7 months, I've been ordering from you a lot, but...I constantly ask for sauces, and a lot of the time dont get it. I always put down I want a few if the sauces, but either I don't get it, or they don't give me what I ask for. I called today, and got a rude young guy, who laughed and laughed at me. He told me I'm not paying for these sauces, which I said I gladly would, and like I'm taking advantage knowing I dont pay. How dare he talk to me like that. He acted like it's a big favor their doing to give me sauces, when I really would pay for it. When your a good customer like I am and spending a ton of money everytime, its should be no big deal to give me what I want. Again I would pay. He kept laughing at me, and I said I'm done. This is who you have working for you? Too bad, but I can find better places, that will give me what I want read more

Yummy poke! Found this pace on yelp. Went in on a Saturday (9/21) night around 8 PM. We were greeted by two guys behind the counter that were very friendly. My husband and I each got a medium-size poke bowl. Medium allows 3 proteins. My base was organic kale and his base was white rice (which was served warm-nice!). I got ahi tuna, salmon, and yellowtail for my protein. I got a bunch of toppings that included crab salad and avocado (avo extra charge). They had a nice variety of sauces, all of which looked very good. It was very hard to decide which sucks to choose. But I went with the house, spicy mayo, and creamy sesame. I topped it off with crispy onion, crispy garlic, and sesame seeds. My husband got a little bit different in his bowl...we loved both!!! Very good!!!! The fish was tasty and seemed fresh. I like that they had an option of organic greens. And the avocado was perfectly ripe with a mix of creamy and chunks of avocado...Very good! The sauces were great too! The 2 guys that helped us behind the counter were very nice and helpful. We will be back :-) read more

I think I may have caught their workers at a bad time. Not sure what it was... but this was probably my 3rd or 4th time at this location. Usually, their workers were nice. Unfortunately, that afternoon- the lady who was making my bowl got my order wrong and I let it slide because - hey - things happen. I'm not going to complain about it. But her other coworker gave a snide comment about me requesting on adding extra sesame seeds (it's my fav) and laughed that I can just add the all-in-one seasoning. Bro... really? Your bowls are $23+ and you're going to make a snide remark about me asking extra sesame seeds? Never again will I come to this damn location. I'd rather just take my business elsewhere. Signed, Sesame seed lover read more

Not good. Ordered delivery - large bowl with tuna. Something pink had congealed at the bottom and was sticking to the bottom layer of the rice. The bowl itself was really unappetizing and lacked flavor. Would not order from here again. read more
