    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still, it was clean and the food was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Small Poké

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some seating inside, but I took my order for to go and enjoyed at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Not sure if anything has changed with the food here in the last couple of months, because it seems a little different. Still very much enjoy poke from here. Staff was great and there was parking in the lot outside

    Medium Poké

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was small, had around 15 seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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!

    This was my first time eating here (ordered take out) and I was pleasantly surprised. I had the medium bowl half white rice, half spring mix, with salmon, shrimp, and tuna. You can see everything that was added in the screenshot of my order. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and flavorful. My only critique is the portion balance--there was a bit too much spring mix and seaweed salad, which left less room for the protein. I would have preferred a more generous portion of salmon, shrimp, and tuna. The amount of protein didn't seem like it would be enough even for a small bowl.

I should've gotten his name but the young gentleman was incredibly respectful and trying to be kind. I was asking questions as I can't see the menu as well and though he was taken back by that...instead of being basic like other places. He really stepped up by walking me through the way it works.

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.

    After wanting to try this place for months, I finally visited on June 1. The food itself was good,…read morebut the customer service left a lot to be desired. While waiting in line, I watched the customer ahead of me have his poke mixed with sauces in a separate bowl before being placed on top of the rice and greens. The employee never asked him beforehand if he wanted it mixed and the customer never requested it, it was simply done as part of the preparation. When I requested the same thing for my order, I was told I needed to have asked beforehand and that it couldn't be done. After I explained that I wanted it prepared the same way as the customer before me, the employee appeared frustrated by the request. What made the interaction particularly uncomfortable was that when he went to the back to get a mixing bowl, there was a loud crash of stainless-steel bowls that could be heard from the front counter. It sounded as though multiple bowls had been dropped or slammed together. This stood out because moments earlier, when he prepared the bowl for the customer ahead of me, everything was done quietly and without any issue. Whether intentional or not, it gave the impression that he was upset about my request. At that point, I told him not to worry about mixing it and asked for all of my sauces on the side so I could do it myself. I also requested an extra container so I could mix everything on my own. Later there was additional confusion regarding the sauces and what was included. I repeatedly offered to pay for any extra sauces if necessary, but the conversation still felt argumentative rather than helpful. The food was actually pretty good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the customer service made me feel unwelcome and almost caused me to leave before ordering. Consistency and attitude matter just as much as the food, and this experience fell short of what I expected.
