    Build your own bowl! Regular sized.
    Christi S.

    The toppings are literally everything here!! There are almost never-ending options! And not to mention FREE!!! Most other places don't offer that, and to me, is mind-blowing. Get this, they offer seaweed salad, crab mix, sliced cucumbers, sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, pickled ginger, wasabi, corn, edamame beans, green onions, and even mandarins?!? (more options not listed) Freakin' chef's kiss. I got the normal sized bowl, with 3 scoops of fish. Did double salmon and tuna. AND holy snipes, it filllllllled me up! The fish were suuuuper fresh and the toppings all were top tier!!! Can I emphasize how the toppings were the star of the show????! Cucumbers were thinnnnnly sliced, super crisp and fresh, it complemented SO well with the savoury crab mix which was suuuuper moist and perfectly seasoned!! The edamame beans and the mandarins paired well in one bite with some chunks of salmon! Tuna tasted Grade A as well! Buttery-like almost! You guys ever get pizza and lots of toppings on it? But the more you add, the more it costs? And the more you load onto it, the faster it fills you up? Well that's how I felt here, except toppings again, are FREE! The toppings were super uber scrumptulicious and quality was phenomenal. Rice was seasoned amazingly well too, it had the right bite to it and the perfect tang. Each ingredient was prepared so meticulously, it made into a perfect meal. The sauce I chose was the poke sauce--it penetrated so well into my rice that made it exciting to craft each spoonful of fish and toppings with. /a little tuna here, a little seaweed salad there, and a edamame bean on top~/ I would definitelyyyy recommend Poke Stage, they abs got everything right in all the right places. Shoutout to the servers, they prepped each bowl with the utmost care and got every ingredient packed ever so prettily. Amazing work!

    Ordered today on Grubhub. $22 for a massive bowl of fresh and delicious poke. I am stuffed and I barely hit the halfway mark. Talk about bang for your buck. So far the best I've had in north county. I'll be ordering again.

    Poke bowl, with tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon

    Poway isn't exactly teeming with poke restaurants but was in the mood for some, so decided to give Poke Stage a shot. I got my usual bowl: tuna, spicy tuna, salmon. They offer white rice, brown rice, and salad for the base, along with the usual toppings. Avocado and tamago are $1.00 extra. Good selection of sauces, including regular poke sauce, spicy poke sauce, spicy mayo, and sesame oil. I was a little unsure how fresh everything might be because I came towards closing time, but everything was good and fresh. My only nit would be that the portions of fish were a little small. Location might be hard to find or a little out of the way if you're not familiar with the area and I wasn't sure if it would be open being that it is tucked away in the corner, and in a business park area. All in all, the food was enjoyable and the customer service was good, and I'd return.

    Regular bowl with a scoop of spicy tuna and a scoop of salmon!

    A must try poke spot in Poway! Great service and fresh sushi grade fish! A local favorite spot of mine!

    Poway local Poke shop, I stop by here from time to time when I crave Poke during lunch time. I usually stroll by after 12:30 pm to avoid the lunch rush. parking shouldn't be an issue. It's a small shop with outdoor dinning benches. Cashier/ food handler always greet me and asked what bowl size I wanted. I usually aim for regular since it's only a dollar more than small. I get three scoop of proteins. I go for salmon, tuna, octopus and white rice for my bottom. I get their Spicy Poke sauce and Spicy Mayo on top of my protein and on top of my rice. I usually get all the topping except Jalapeño. If you are thirsty and want something kind of sweet I recommend their black milk tea in the bottle. Overall it's super straight to the point, you get your food and you get out. Quick and easy.

    Not a bad spot for poke! They have a good variety of seafood and toppings. It was my first time seeing mandarin oranges as a topping. I came kind of close to closing time so they only had brown rice available. I normally don't get brown rice because it's so dry but I did get a small bowl and that really filled me up! The scoop of fish they gave was super tiny (like 5 pieces of fish). I'm never in this area but if I am and happen to be craving poke again I would stop by.

    A little slow in making the food, but was taken back by the "f**k" tee shirt the employee was allowed to wear. Times have changed.

    One large and a regular bowl.

    Quality and quantities of food are good. Inside and outside eating area. No complains.

    Always a solid place to get a quick poke bite! Staff is always friendly and will hook it up! Food is always fresh and everything is very clean!

    Wow I was so pleasantly surprised by this poke spot!! I had it bookmarked for ages when it first opened, then left town and forgot it existed. I'm so glad I was craving poke while in Poway which prompted a quick Yelp search!! I'm not sure if it owner helped me out or just an amazing employee, but after he found out it was my first time here, he made sure I understood how it all worked, let me sample their sauces, and was overall so friendly! The poke here is great and the toppings are fun (like corn!) I will definitely stop by if I'm in the area. I really enjoy their sauces as well, great compliment and not overly sauced (I said no sauce on the rice). Thanks Poke Stage! See you next time!

    The serving size (portion) of seafood was surprisingly small. It's an "ok" place to go to, nothing extraordinary.

    Ask the Community - Poke Stage

    Is this place open for take out during covid-19?

    Does this place allow smoking in their outside seating area? I have really bad allergies to second hand smoke but prefer eating outside

    This place shares the outdoor seating area with another restaurant. I haven't seen anyone enforce any policy, if there even is one.

    Fish and chips on Poway road?

    Sorry nothing strikes my fancy in this area...but Fancy Fish in Mira Mesa a few miles south is worth trying! They have great variety and you have various options on how you'd like your fish prepared!

    I was visiting a friend in Escondido today and he recommended that we go to Sushi Kami and it was…read moredelicious! I had the lunch special spicy tuna, salad, rice, and miso soup and it was really good. Great sushi restaurant.

    Cute sushi spot near Phil's bbq…read more Very warm and inviting inside and I like all the booths and how spaced out they are even in the center of the restaurant. There's a lot of businesses around this area so I can see Sushi Kami being a popular spot for a go-to lunch outside of work. We came for dinner and got seated right away and it wasn't too busy at all. It was nice but still casual at the same time if that makes sense. I will say the parking was a little tight and we had to make a bit of an awkward U-turn to get to the restaurant but the lot wasn't that full so it wasn't too bad but I could see this being trickier in the daytime. I really enjoyed both the spicy tuna and salmon. I've had a lot of weird spicy tuna but this one hit just right. It's always hard to find that perfect balance between fish and spice but I really enjoyed this one. The salmon was good too. The standout was definitely the tempura we got as well. It was large and came out hot and crispy and perfect. This is the type of sushi restaurant I could take people to who don't necessarily like sushi all that much. There's lots of options on the menu including bulgogi (next time I shall try!) and really good combos for people to enjoy. Ambiance is chill but still has that fun sushi vibe with the displays of fish (and I even saw some creative fish decorating on the walls which I thought was a nice touch) Service was nice and they always refilled our waters without us having to ask. I enjoyed the food and the vibe! Would definitely come back to try more ...and brings others along too!

    I was in Poway and somehow this place caught my eye when I was looking on Google maps in the area…read moreso decided to give this place a try! I love going to supermarkets and especially ones that I am not familiar with and like to explore and discover new things to try. This market is fairly small and it had basically two aisles but its filled from floor to ceiling with Russian and Eastern European goods. The front deli case has all the smoked fish you want and also plenty of different kinds of sausages too. And since its the holidays, there are also plenty of fun chocolates and gift items! I chose to buy some rusk bread crisps (salmon and cheese flavored) and Russian style egg salad. Both were good! I didnt know what to expect with Russian style egg salad as it has cheese and fresh garlic in it, so I was a little worried if I didnt like it, but good thing is that I definitely liked it and can definitely pair them with some Carr crackers as a snack! Almost everyone in here was speaking Russian and I definitely felt like a weirdo in there but everyone was nice to me and welcoming. My only gripe is that the rusk crisp was labeled as $1.99 and I was charged $2.50. Id come back here again and try other things too next time.
