    Large Bowl
    Mary A.

    Paid around $21 for a large 4-protein poke bowl. I ordered 3 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna, and the fish quality was really good and tasted very fresh. The toppings also tasted fresh and paired well with the fish. The only downside was the rice. It tasted a little old and not as fresh as I expected. However, the fish quality honestly made up for it. Parking in the front can be a bit tricky since there are only a few spots, but there is additional parking in the back. There are also a few tables inside if you want to eat there. I would probably come back again mainly for the fish quality, just hoping the rice is fresher next time.

    One of the better poke spots in the Valley; if I'm not going to my usual poke spot, I'd definitely consider stopping at Poke-Ya. The fish is fresh and tasty and they have a good variety of toppings and sauces. I paid around $22 for a large bowl which came with 4 scoops of my choice of protein. I also chose to have white rice and spring mix, but I did wish the portions of the bases were bigger. I felt like there wasn't a great balance between fish and the bases I chose. The service was okay; not great but not awful either. I took my meal to go as the dining space inside was pretty small and I wasn't too sure I'd be too comfortable sitting and eating there. Still, it was clean and the food was good.

    I was craving poke so I stopped by Poke-ya. I ordered a small poke which comes with 2 scoops of protein, I got double salmon. The fish tasted fresh and everything tasted great. I would definitely come back again. The service was friendly and it was straightforward and easy to order. There is some seating inside, but I took my order for to go and enjoyed at home.

    It's good but what is this portion size? This is a medium somehow. They are nice and the food is good but how am I paying $17.50 for "medium" and getting such a small portion of food.

    This spot finally got its customer service under control- solid, friendly interactions. And the food here is really good. One of the better poke places in the valley. The fish consistently tastes really fresh and the selection is pretty good. I went with the 4 protein bowl for $19. The bowl was on a bed of white rice, with a bunch of delicious toppings, like jalapeno, tamago, chile edamame, mandarins and cucumbers. For protein, I chose scoops of spicy salmon, albacore, regular salmon and spicy tuna. Since, I love sauces, I put a bunch on top, including citrus ponzu, spicy mayo, chilli oil and more. To finish off my creation, I added some ginger and 3 scoops of crispy onion on top. The result was outstanding and each bite was very special. Definitely one of the best poke spots! I take mine usually to go, but if you wanna dine in, they do have 2 tables inside and the place is, while small, yet air-conditioned pretty well, thus creating a comfortable environment to just grab a bite right there on the spot. Will definitely come again!

    I can't travel to Hawaii to get my favorite poké but this place sure comes in close as my 2nd favorite place! decently priced for the serving size, super fresh, and not long of a wait. I feel the protein scoop size could be a little more generous, IMO. You can also order online for pickup. Parking lot is super small, but something always opens up. My go to is- medium size, 1/2 white rice 1/2 spring mix, crabmeat, seaweed salad, edamame beans, cilantro, cucumber, green onion, jalapeño, red onion, tuna, salmon, house sauce, sesame oil, spicy sauce, sesame seed, furikake, and crispy onion. Alternatively, i leave out the red onion and add mandarin Oranges and spicy mayo

    I'm always on a quest for a no frills poke bowl that focuses on the fish and not just filler. There are tons of ways to customize these bowls and you can double up on the extras you want and lose all of the random filler most places use. Salmon (spicy and regular) tasted very fresh. The portions are huge though! Next time I'll get a much smaller portion and just add the extra portion of fish that I want!

    Fish was really fresh, service was great. I came in around 3:00 PM. Young lady helping me was really nice. She was very informative, i had asked for edamame as my base and she instantly knew I wanted it as an add-on and corrected me in a very polite and professional manner. The food itself was very tasty. Everything tasted like they were prepared that morning. The inside was small, had around 15 seats.

Whether you're in the mood for shrimp, fish, lobster, or a fresh ceviche platter, you really can't go wrong. The taste and quality of the food are consistently superb. We usually order the shrimp and fish tacos with all the ingredients they come with, and they never disappoint. Their white sauce is exceptional, and I especially like that you can choose your spice level--regular, mild, or spicy. Whatever your preference, the flavor and heat are just right. The ceviche is another favorite. Whether you order shrimp or fish ceviche, it's especially refreshing on a warm summer day. The balance of lemon and seasoning is just right, and the portions are generous and beautifully prepared. And let's not forget about the atmosphere and the staff. They have always been professional, attentive, and pleasant. The owners clearly take pride in their restaurant, and I believe the main cook has helped maintain the same great taste and quality that this place was known for under its previous ownership. I've tried Baja-style tacos at many different places, but this one continues to stand out for me because of the quality, flavor, and consistency. I would definitely recommend Baja Beach Tacos to anyone looking for delicious Baja-style food. But don't just take my word for it--go check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

    Extremely disappointed with the food . . . I used to eat at this location when it was Lola's Tacos…read more The food at Lola's Tacos was so delicious and the portions were very large. I haven't been there since they changed owners and decided to give it a try. Apparently, the chef and the waitresses are the same so I was thinking the food would be the same as before. This time when I went, I ordered the chicken taco and shrimp taco. The chicken taco was cold and contained small pieces of dark meat thrown into a taco. Usually tacos use shredded or stewed chicken so this was not the norm for me. The minute I bit into it, I could taste the chicken was old and gamey. I bit into a large piece of grissle from the bone and almost threw up. I took one bite of the shrimp taco and could not identify the flavor. It definitely wasn't cilantro, but some other kind of herb I didn't recognize. I ended up throwing it away. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately, I will never go back. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this place

We lucked out and got the last booth before the dinner rush. The place looked exactly like it did last time we came. Staff was still friendly. They don't accept cash, only cards/tap to pay. Their menu looked different. Wish I had taken a photo. You have an option to build your own boil by choosing your protein, sauce, spice level and add in's. They still don't allow you to mix garlic butter and lemon pepper sauces. You're forced to get the Kickin mix which includes Cajun even if you're not a fan of that flavor. They also have a kids menu with 2 choices, appetizers and family combos. Always intimidating ordering from a menu that doesn't disclose the pricing up front. That's the weirdest thing. Even restaurants in Beverly Hills have pricing on their menus. We got the family feast which feeds up to 4 people and had a combo of crab, mussels, shrimp, sausage, rice, potato and corn which was about $107. (Side note, they charge 50 cents for a pair of gloves and they do not provide you with a little towelette to wipe before or after your meal) This I have to admit was a pretty good deal considering it's a good amount of seafood. They serve it to you in a large metal bowl. We asked for mild since we had toddlers, but because of the Cajun in the sauce (that they force you to get if you want garlic butter and lemon pepper flavor) it was more of a medium, and the kids could not tolerate the heat. Which wasn't a bad thing since that meant more for us grown ups. Ordered them a side of truffle fries which was not too bad actually. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks which come in huge cups. We tried asking for two small empty cups so the kids could share our drinks, but they refused to provide that to us. According to the waiter, it's the restaurant policy that they can only provide water cups, but we have to figure out what to do with the water inside. (Insert face palm emoji) Also they do not provide buckets for your shells so we weren't sure what to do with all that water but drink it. The cups are thin paper cups to pair perfectly with those gross paper straws. By the time we finished the water the cups were pretty mushy already. Needless to say we couldn't finish all our food so we asked for it to go, reluctantly as we hoped they weren't going to try and charge us for those to go bags as well. Pro's: they brought the food out quickly. The food tasted freshly cooked. Con's: don't know where to begin. Parking lot sucks since it's shared with multiple other businesses. There is no place for you to sit and wait outside the restaurant. You'll need to stand outside by the parking lot and pray you don't get side swiped by some crazy driver. Menu has hidden pricing. They charge 50 cents for gloves and do not provide wipes for after your meal. They don't provide a bucket/container to place your seafood shells so it gets mixed in with your other food on the table. Can't even ask for an empty cup for kids. They don't let you customize your sauces your way. Sad to say after all this time my review for this place is still a solid 2 stars.

    First Visit -- Disappointing Experience…read more We came in last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived--there was only one other party of two. Our party of 10 was the largest group there, yet the service was still very slow and disorganized. I ordered six seafood platters, and I was honestly surprised by the portion sizes. When I hear "seafood platter," I expect something substantial, especially based on my experience at other seafood restaurants. Here, each platter was served on a large oval plate but contained just about enough food for one person. Each platter was supposed to come with rice or fries, but our side dishes did not arrive until we were more than halfway through our meal. I also had to remind the waiters twice about a refill of water for our pitcher after I had already requested it. The temperature inside was another major issue. The restaurant felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. There were only two industrial fans blowing air toward the middle of the room rather than toward the patrons, leaving our entire party sweating in the corner. The bathroom was even worse--it felt like a sauna with little to no air circulation. The service continued to be poorly timed throughout the meal. We were already about two-thirds finished eating before the buckets that are typically provided at the beginning of a seafood meal were brought to the table. These buckets are intended for trash and shells, so by the time they arrived, we had already been managing our shells and waste without them. Then came the bill. A 2.5% surcharge was added to our check. This was not listed anywhere that I saw on the restaurant's website, and it was never mentioned by the waitstaff. I only noticed it when reviewing the receipt. The digital receipt states: "to maintain our food quality and to improve services a 2.5% surcharge will be added to every check." I found that explanation particularly frustrating. Why should customers be charged an additional percentage specifically to fund improvements to the restaurant's food quality and service? Those are things I would expect to be included in the prices already being charged. There was also a discrepancy with the large-party gratuity. The restaurant's website states that an 18% gratuity is added for parties of six or more, yet I was charged 20%. I took a timestamped screenshot of the website showing the 18% policy and have attached it along with a copy of my receipt so customers can see the discrepancy for themselves. Finally, they were unable to print a receipt. The waiter had to figure out how to send the receipt to me by text. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We came in hoping to celebrate my daughter's birthday and enjoy a nice meal together. Instead, we experienced inadequate portions, delayed side dishes, repeated requests for basic service, an uncomfortably hot dining room, poorly timed table service, an undisclosed surcharge, and a gratuity discrepancy between the website and our actual bill. I always try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, especially when visiting for the first time. But with a party of 10 and a bill reflecting both a 2.5% surcharge and 20% gratuity, I expected a much higher level of service and transparency. I would strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully and comparing it with the restaurant's posted policies before paying.
