this is easily my favorite go-to poke place! i come here far too frequently, but it's just because i think it's one of the best poke places in my area. the staff is always kind, and they never skimp on the portions. the fish always tastes fresh too. it's a small little store but there's plenty of seating considering i haven't ever gone when it's busy (i always take it to go). i'm always left so full and satisfied after an order from here! read more

Chairs were uncomfortable and tipped my skin off wearing a dress. The quick to go style food was great in a pinch as there is no wait. Surprisingly pretty fresh fish but not comparable to island poke with marinades. For mainland poke it is edible and would eat it again but do I consider it authentic poke poke....nope! But for what it is, was decent. Just not authentic but I didn't come there for that either. It is what it is. read more

I've been here 30+ times probably over the years and I've NEVER had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly and always greets you when you walk in. Fish is fresh, the toppings are all fresh. I love the miso too! This is basically my "old reliable" of poki, the portions are exactly right for the price I mean you just cannot go wrong. Will continue to be a regular here :) PRO TIP if you love spicy get the volcano 3 on the side and dip your fish in it, it's SOOO good but SUPER spicy... my mouth is watering just thinking about it read more

Poke Tiki - I always get the medium with two scoops salmon and one scoop tuna and almost all the toppings - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

We stumbled upon this poke spot as we were waiting for another restaurant in the plaza, and it was a casual build your own poke bowl place. They had a good amount of fish options and toppings, and the workers were nice in building the bowls for us - not skimping on anything read more

I've been craving Hawaiian-style poke, so when I saw "Hawaiian, poke" in the restaurant heading I thought I'd found a new spot. I did find a new spot, but they don't do the pre-marinated, Hawaiian-style poke here. Here's what I did find: a nice little spot that was clean, inviting, had friendly staff, and had a couple of fish offerings i hadn't seen at any other place. I ordered the extra large bowl, choosing the standard salmon, tuna, and shrimp (can't go wrong with those!) and 2 new proteins to try: albacore & crab salad and salmon & crab salad. Both were dry (not moist/mushy like spicy tuna). I would order both again. They offered to drizzle poke sauce and sesame oil over it all, which I agreed to. The next step I'm a bit confused about. They have bottles of sauces and I'm not sure if they'd also drizzle those over your bowl if you ask or if they only give the the little condiment cups. I wanted to try new sauces, so I asked for a cup of wasabi cilantro and also one that had peanuts. When I sat down to eat my bowl, because I only had them drizzle the poke sauce and the sesame, the bowl was on the dry side. Adding the side sauces helped, but it still wasn't as saucy as the bowls I'm used to getting. What I realized when I finished the bowl was that I actually enjoyed it on the "drier" side. The fish didn't get lost "swimming" in sauce. (Pun *may* be intended) Overall, was it what I was expecting? No. BUT, I did enjoy the food. I'm counting it as a win and I'm looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

Never been to this location but it's right across the street while I get my car worked on. Clean and friendly staff. I enjoyed the wide variety of toppings and it all tasted fresh. I would totally come here again for my poki cravings. SYOY! read more

So I usually go to the Pokey Tiki at main place or the one on Harbor but today I came to this location and I had mentioned something about the portions and the girl told me that if I didn't like it I could leave. It was a very rude experience. Maybe that's why the store was empty but never come here again. No one even greeted me when I walked in. The vibe was definitely not welcoming. read more

Consistent portions and quality of food here. One of the better poke places in the area.

This poke place was A-Ok. Was planning on heading to downtown Tustin, but wanted to grab something quick and cool, as it's a very warm summer day, so decided on this poke place with good proximity. Parking here was a sinch as this is a very large center with very abundant parking. I got the medium poke bowl with tuna, salmon and spicy tuna and white rice as my base. It was quick to get the proteins and grain, but took a while for the toppings portion as the same individual who does the toppings is also checking out guests, so the bowl kinda just sits there until she's ready. I got my preferred toppings, spicy mayo and dynamite sauce, also grabbed a canned Diet Coke, as there are no fountain drinks here. There is a water cooler for lemon water though- just ask for a cup! As part of the order they asked you for your preferred utensils, and we got chopsticks. We sat down as there were still some tables available, but there was a lunch rush that came in after us (after 1pm on a Sunday), and tables became less plentiful inside. There were outside tables, but see previous statement about best. Overall, the poke bowl was as you'd expect it to be at these types of poke places. I did think their chopsticks could use an upgrade,l. They felt very low quality. Overall, I would return, as it's quick and easy, but will not blow your socks off. read more

Poke Tiki - Medium poke bowl- Medium, 3 Proteins Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

I love Poki Tiki it is one of my favorite places to go but I am incredibly disappointed with my experience at this specific location. I went at the last 10 minutes before closing and the lady working was so rude. She was not welcoming at all. I completely understand that it's the last 10 minutes before closing but it's still your job to be respectful. I asked for avocado and she straight up told me there was none left while I was staring at the avocado. I also asked for white rice and instead of going to the back to get white rice she gave me brown rice. When l left it still wasn't closed. Overall worst experience at Poki Tiki, terrible worker. The Poki Tiki at Costa Mesa is better. read more

It was on a wonderful evening of "parents night out" that my daughter ironically found Poke Tiki. While mom and dad were out having fun, my daughter got hungry and wanted to order take out. This was the exact night she stumbled upon Poke Tiki, and the night that poke bowls became a staple takeout weekend dinner for our family. Needless to say, my daughter fell in love with Poke Tiki from her first bite. I'm not kidding when I say we eat this as a weekend family take-out meal very frequently. I love their poke bowls as well! Take out option is very easy to follow online. You choose your size, your base, protein and all the fillings. I usually get their kids size, which leaves me full and happy. Although you only get one protein choice, crab meat is one of their options for fillings which is good enough for me. I love that I feel full, but not overly stuffed. Their salmon is nice and fresh (my choice of protein), and they offer many other protein options as well (my daughter loves their scallops and octopus as well). Poke Tiki has somehow become one of our family take out traditions, and it seems like they are here to stay. A satisfied tummy is a happy family, so no complaints here :) read more

Poke Tiki - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

Two stars might be generous. I'm decidedly not a fan. First of all, this place is pretty stingy with the "poke" in my opinion. They give you a lot of rice and whatever toppings you select but a relatively small amount of "poke." Also, the "poke" is not very good in my opinion. Among other things, it's not marinated. Good poke like the kind you can get at a grocery deli counter in Hawaii is always marinated. I will go so far as to say the "poke" at Poke Tiki isn't poke at all. It's just cubbed raw fish. The toppings are fine, but what you really want is poke - see above, though. Service wise, you order at the counter and tell the person what kind of fish you want, what toppings you want, and what sauce you want, etc. Hint: If the "poke" was marinated, there would be no need for sauce. Ambience wise, there are a few tables to sit at if you want to eat it there. I got mine to go, and most of it went in the trash. Welcome to my dead to me list. I won't be back. P.S. my pics are better if you click on them." read more

Summary : pretty decent poke Lately Ive stuck out in terms of poke in either not fresh fish taste or quantity so little. Order half and half of rice and salad. Was very surprise in quantity and quality of fish. Also the rice used worked well. Will be giving this place another try soon. read more

PSA: Upgrade your bags. Don't use cheap brown lunch bags to package a $23 bowl. These bags rip easily and your bowl will be splattered all over the asphalt if you don't grab it from the bottom. 2nd time my bag has ripped. The staff are aware of this issue and tell you grab it from the bottom. Stop being cheap. read more

I've had very different experiences at the two Poki Tiki locations. The Tustin spot consistently delivers fresh, flavorful bowls with friendly service and a smooth ordering process. It's clear they've got their system down, and the quality shows. Unfortunately, the Irvine location doesn't measure up. The service there feels disorganized and slow, and the bowls often lack the freshness and balance you expect from Poki Tiki. It's frustrating because the Tustin location sets such a high standard -- the Irvine spot really needs to step up to match that level. If you want the real Poki Tiki experience, stick with Tustin. read more

I'm so specific about poke and this place did no disappoint. The service was quick and friendly. I got my bowl with chips and the worker hand picked the chips that were whole for me. I don't usually write reviews but this place is fantastic! read more

Walked in here unplanned and talking about perfection. Parking: Ample parking! It's OC. Brick & mortar: Simple, functional, clean and everything was perfectly situated. Food: Ordered small bowl. Everything were fresh and you can see that they're fresh! I don't need to explain more cause this is the poke bowl that I missed since I moved to LA. Everything was available. The only thing that I wished they have but unnecessary to have is corn. They had the free cold water dispenser ready for all guests. A small gesture, but I really appreciate this gesture the most. read more

Poke Tiki - My perfect poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

Great bowl of fresh Poke, portions are very generous. The spicy sauce can be very dangerous, I believe they have level 1,2, and 3. 3 being the most spicy, careful with that one. Other than that, it's a great place to have lunch. read more

My mom and I came in about an hour before closing and ordered 4 bowls total. My mom had enough rewards points for all 4 bowls and asked if we could use them all since most places only allow one reward to be used per purchase. Poke Tiki has let us use all of our points in the past, but we weren't sure if they would let us again since it took awhile last time and there was no quick way to apply points to multiple items. The man helping us checkout did let us use all our points and was very patient doing so even though he acknowledged that the system they are using is new and can be tricky. The woman who made the bowls was also kind and made the bowls quickly and efficiently. We always enjoy the food itself, so the service is just the cherry on top! read more

I like how poke is fast to order so you don't have to wait forever for your food. The amount of salad ratios to everything else you get is quite little though. I like the sauces they put, but next time I'm going to have to go a lil lighter than they usually do because it's very saucy. There's a lot of parking here as well. Spicy mayo and eel mix is probably the best combo. If you eat inside you get a free miso soup. read more

Last 2 visits were lacking. Last visit was yesterday. We split a large bowl. Yes... it is enough for two depending on hunger level. I remembered poke here was great. But these last visits were lack luster. Didn't taste fresh and appetizing as it used to be.... may be back but not for long while. I usually make You Tube Shorts on places I go to. But I didn't here. Maybe that'll be for the next visit. Maybe... #socalweekendwalkarounds read more

I was not thrilled about this place The fish was ok, on the verge of being bad. The staff seemed like they were being bother by us coming in and asking questions about the poke, sauce, etc. It was my sons first time here, and he had questions, they didnt seem to want to answer these. Over all, I wont be back, its expensive for what you get and the staff is... as the kids say .. "mid" read more

One of many great establishments in Tustin Plaza, including Kean coffee, Gen Korean BBQ, and Barolo Cafe. Sadly, Souplantation is gone. I can't claim to be a poke bowl expert, but I thought this was really good. Ordering was simple, fish tasted fresh, rice was well-made, and portions were good. Thanks again! read more

The food was good, the ladies serving are polite and friendly. Manager (or owner) has a terrible way of handling his customer's negative experience. I was enjoying my bowl but near the end I found a hair in the bite I was about to take. I took it to the counter and the ladies apologized, offered me a refund and took the bowl to the back. Shortly after a man came out and, very rudely, said he'd give me 50% refund because I'd "already eaten most of the food". He stated "you ate almost all the food and now you complain you found a hair". I don't control where in my meal that hair came up and I would much rather have found it at the top because knowing I ate while the hair was in my meal is nauseating! In short if you don't mind eating hair, and rude management, this place is good. read more

Poke Tiki - Medium, 3 Proteins Bowl, so yummy!! - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

We came here on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the unagi bowl and it took about 10 minutes to come out after I ordered it. Others I was with ordered stuff and it took about the same time as well. The unagi bowl was good and the price was decent. I wish there was more fish and less rice for the price though. The ambiance is decent. I'd come back here every once in a while. read more

I went there today around 4:30 and the guy that was working there was very unprofessional In the middle of the order he picked up a call and with that hand that he touched the phone + tablet with, he proceeded to touch my food Also the portion was so stingy A lot of ingredients were almost empty and he barely filled up each scoop read more

This Location is EXTREMELY STINGY with the portions. I ordered 2 bowls through uber eats a large bowl and a Medium and i might as well have ordered the small ones. The toppings were not all there, taste was not all there. No decent rice portion. It's pricey to not be getting what you pay for. DONT ORDER OR COME HERE! The location in COSTA MESA is a lot better and they don't get stingy like this location. read more

Poke Tiki - Hawaiian Near Me - Tustin, California

Not the best poke but there were some things that definitely shined. I got the three protein: Spicy Tuna, Tuna and Bay Scallops. Tuna was by far my favorite, Spicy Tuna second and no question that Bay Scallops were dead last. I would not recommend the Bay Scallops at all unless you're into weird texture and tasteless food. I usually don't get Bay Scallops and there's a reason why and these were especially off-putting. I did, however, enjoy the Seaweed Salad and Cucumbers. I could have probably just eaten the Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Seaweed Salad, and Cucumbers with the Brown Rice and been very happy but the fact that there were other ingredients that were less than par, was a little disappointing. Another thing I would think twice about getting is the Crunchy Onion. It was a little too overpowering and you still taste it in your mouth even after you have finished eating. It stays with you for awhile - just a friendly FYI. read more

The customer service was good but the food was ok...My plate was lil bit too messy. Their spicy salmon and albacore was ground fish which it was a big No for me. Their fish was frozen and it didnt taste like fresh one. I ordered big size bowl while their scoops were too little. For me Poke is all about fish that why I always get the big one to have more fish choices but they didnt have variety either. read more

Even though I ordered takeout, one of the ladies gave me an extra cup of spicy mayo without me even asking, so thoughtful! Thank you! read more
