The fish was fresh. The small size comes with only two scoops of protein--it's a decent portion for lunch, but not very filling. I'd recommend sizing up if you want more protein. Service was friendly, and the outdoor communal seating area was enjoyable. read more

I'm happy that there is a Poke place near my office. I discovered it on my way back from dropping off a package at the FedEx spot next door. It was chilly so I stopped in for some Miso soup. The place is spacious with a few tables inside. The items in the poke bar looked fresh & tasty. I wasn't very hungry and just wanted some soup. The man that assisted me was genuinely nice. The serving was a little skimpy as my cup was only ¾ full but it was only $2.50 so I'm not going to complain. The soup was tasty and warmed me up. Next time I have a craving for poke I'll stop in. read more

They are lovely here. I always do pick up and always have it ready. My fave is the make your own with salmon!

i ordered a small bowl, i didn't expect much because it was in downtown but to my surprise it's freshl and enough for me read more

PokeBar - Poke Bowl- Small Original Salmon - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I actually came up to California Plaza to hit up Earl of Sandwich, but I realized once I got here that I really wasn't feeling it that day. Thankfully, Poke Bar was right next to it, and that sounded a lot more appealing. Had to do a large bowl because I was actually quite starving on this particular day. Had salmon, tuna, albacore, and of course spicy tuna. It's obviously a little more expensive than your typical poke place, but it was definitely really good. Very fresh fish and vegetables. Great product for sure, super hit the spot! Service was great, no complaints here. Good to know that there is a solid poke spot in California Plaza. Pretty impressed that it has somehow managed to survive the pandemic given barely anyone is going into the office these days. read more

PokeBar - a container of rice and vegetables - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been familiar with PokeBar from their other location on La Brea/Olympic. Now that I've found on in Downtown LA, I don't have to trek across the city fore delicious poke. It's a great place for a quick bite. The service is quick, and their food/fish is fresh. This location was clean and there is ample outside seating in a nice breezeway. This location is located on Grand Av, between 3rd and 4th St. It's below street level, so you don't hear the hustle and bustle of traffic. If you're ever in the mood for some good poke, stop by and build your own bowl to your liking and you won't be disappointed. read more

PokeBar - Delicious poké Nom! Nom! Nom! - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have eaten at this place several times over the past two years. It's OK. The fish is all right although they give you fairly tiny scoops. The toppings are good. Small little restaurant with some outdoor seating. Service is usually very good. I'll probably eat there due to proximity to a work place I frequent regularly, but wouldn't go there if it wasn't downstairs and super convenient. read more

Not worth it. Got the tiniest portion of food. Can't believe it's $13.14 for a kids sized meal. Never ever seen these prices for poke before and it's normally my favorite food. It tasted ok but for these prices no way. I thought Ohana poke was bad but this is way worse. On top of it the parking in front was closed and had to park in the parking lot below which costed another $8. I asked if they validate and they made it seem absurd that they would do such a thing. TERRIBLE. Don't come here unless you want to waste $20 on a kids meal read more

PokeBar - Very tiny and where's the poke? - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It was a Wednesday afternoon in downtown Los Angeles when I was craving some Poke. Found this spot and ordered a large bowl. What came was a container with two small scoops of rice. As far as the protein and the toppings they were barely observable. Couldn't even assess for quality because there was barely anything. Despite ordering multiple proteins and toppings it was as if I had just ordered plain rice. Fail. Had to steal a coworkers lunch from the fridge. read more

How can anyone not like PokeBar? The West Hollywood spot became my favorite poke spot after trying it for the first time a couple months ago, but this one is even better. The fish here in DTLA is just ridiculously fresh, especially the salmon. I go for the LARGE with 4 protein options and usually go with a combination of salmon (2x), octopus, and scallop. The toppings here are really good, especially the imitation crab and salmon roe. read more

I came in here for lunch and got their medium sized poke bowl which is 3 scoops of protein. They're not heavy handed on the scoops both protein wise and or the rice / salad, so you might want to order a size up or ask for little bit more rice. The ingredients taste fresh and they have a good selection of mix in's. The house sauce was perfectly flavored. Overall, I would come back when I'm feeling like a healthy lunch. read more

PokeBar - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're craving poke in the Bunker Hill area of Downtown, this is one of the better options. You can pick you own type of fish, sides, and sauce. I went with the medium sized bowl, which comes with three scoops of fish, and I got salmon, albacore, and spicy tuna. You get to pick your own sauce and sides. I went with the spicy mayo with a little ponzu mixed in. The creaminess of the mayo goes well with the fish! Then it comes with either cucumber salad or seaweed salad with imitation crab meat, ginger, wasabi, and furikake. I also got the garlic chips on top for some extra flavor. Most people just get take out since there are only a few tables. The line looks pretty long but moves fairly quickly! Definitely a place to check out when you want a quick lunch/bite to go! read more

Perfect for lunch with fresh options. Good amount of sauce choices. I'll be back if I have another stay in Los Angeles

Visited in Februari while passing through LA. Came on a Friday afternoon for late lunch and was not so busy. Ordering is simple. If you enjoy poke, check out PokeBar in downtown. Fresh fish and ingredients. Build your own bowl and enjoy. I had a medium bowl with 3 choices of fish and loved it. Topped with everything and wasabi aioli to bring it all together. Picked up and sat outside to enjoy the fresh breeze. A wonderful lunch no doubt about it! read more

I used to be a recurring customer, but it looks like they forced me to use an order form. To top it off, they got my order completely wrong (it must've been someone else's), which is why I didn't want to use an order form in the first place. I'm kind of an old schooler and prefer the traditional way of ordering poke. Unless they allow customers to order the traditional way instead of forcing the new method of filling out a form, I'll probably have to find a new poke joint. read more

4.5 Stars! I enjoy coming here a lot since it's the only good poke place near my office in DTLA. They give you a stamp card, where if you get 10 stamps you get a free medium bowl. I'm on my 4th stamp card! The style of ordering food is just like Chipotle, you move down a line and tell the food preparer what toppings you want. For a medium bowl, you get 3 scoops of fish. The fish you can choose from is salmon, albacore, spicy tuna or regular tuna. I usually get 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna. They also give you 1 large scoop of rice and 1 large scoop of salad (which you can substitute for another scoop of rice). After that you can add several different sauces (ponzo/house/spicy mayo), and toppings (kale/corn/onions/edamame/pineapple/cilantro/jalapeno/etc.) Then you get another round of toppings (masago/ imitation crab meat/seaweed). Then you have a final round of toppings which you can choose between nuts/sesame/furikake/etc.) The entire poke bowl as a whole tasted pretty high quality. The salmon and tuna tasted fresh and good. The toppings compliment the fish and rice very well. The sauces helps blend everything together. Overall a pretty high quality poke bowl. The place is also very clean and the staff is fantastic! read more

PokeBar - Medium Bowl /w 2 Salmon and 1 Tuna - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been ordering here for my lunch at work. It's nothing special but just a decent bowl of poke for fair prices ($12-$18), and also has a good amount of options to choose from. Hours here are weird since they cater mainly to weekday lunches, but that applies to most restaurants here. Service is pretty good though! I order through GrubHub and they're always done quickly. Would recommend a try if you want a decently healthy option for lunch. read more

The food was delicious! I couldn't have chosen a better place to go eat at! Will definitely go back again!

dummy expensive but also fire. I don't get poke a lot but 16.50 for a small seems kinda steep imo

Luckily for me, its Poke week on the RITUAL app - which has me venturing out to try new poke places. PokeBar is a bit of a walk for me from my office, but totally worth it! I ordered the RITUAL bowl from the app., which is the medium bowl with: corn, sweet onion, green onion, jalepeno, cilantro, cucumber, spicy mayo and I added crispy onion. I LOVED IT! The jalepeno added a great kick and their spicy mayo was way more spice than mayo, which I loved. Can't wait to go back and try something else! I didn't have to wait in line because of the RITUAL app, but there was a short line inside around 1:50, which is pretty late for the lunch rush. I can't imagine how it gets at noon. Cashier was very nice and friendly. I got good vibes .. AND it looked really clean in there. read more

PokeBar - Medium poke bowl with: corn, sweet onion, green onion, jalapeño, cilantro, cucumber, spicy mayo and crispy onion. Happy belly - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Okay finally, a good place to get poke in downtown LA! I have tried several, some that added poke to their menu and some that are straight up poke places, but now I think I have found my spot. This place is a chain so they know what they're doing. I got there around 11:30 and luckily there was no line. Got the medium bowl which was 3 proteins - spicy tuna, albacore and scallops. Base of half brown rice, half kale salad. Added green onion, cucumber, kale, seaweed, crab, edamame and masago. Did a mix of the wasabi shoyu and spicy mayo. $13 total and they packaged everything up really nice. Took this outside to eat and it was delicious! Two thumbs up! read more

It's hard to find good poke in town... It seriously is. Not as good as Pokinometry but still pretty good. One of the better ones in my opinion opened up on Cal Plaza in the Grand Arts District of DtLA. Like most poke joints, you pick your raw seafood, rice/salad/nacho base. They have brown rice too which is pretty good. Chose two types of sauces out of the 4, chose 2 out of the 3 salads from crab, seaweed, and cucumber. Then ginger, masago roe, and wasabi. The part I like are they're healthy with are the toppings, furikake, fried onions, fried garlic and crushed roasted peanuts. Furikake adds great flavor to the rice. Pricing isn't bad. 2 scoops of seafood is $9, 3 for $11, and 4 for $13. read more

Super disappointed. I've been here twice and I don't think I'll ever come back. I ordered through grub hub and the site was down, then it came back. The price for a medium bowl is $14.50 but you only get one protein choice. I ordered with all the toppings and half of them were missing. There were no utensils in my bag and they made my food 30 minutes early, so it was sitting there for such a long time. There are so many better poke places around. read more

Grabbed a quick bite to eat at this little poke spot on my lunch break! Centered in the heat of DTLA, it's an easy go-to place if you work the area. The plaza is quite shaded from the high buildings, and there's a water show that takes place near it. So, the area can be somewhat of a tourist attraction. I got the medium bowl with salmon and spicy tuna- 3 scoops of protein, and in their house sauce & ponzu (pick 2 sauces). I like how this place gives you unlimited toppings; I got edamame, pineapple, cucumber and sweet onions. Then it's the salad portion which you pick 2 out of 3 - I got the cucumber salad and imitation crab. Lastly, I topped it with wasabi, ginger and massage. Avocado is $1 if you'd like. The portion was decent, but I've had cheaper for the same quality. A medium was $11-12 with tax. But it was yummy nonetheless! read more

PokeBar - Medium bowl - 2 scoops of salmon, 1 spicy tuna - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Awesome lunch place for those who work around Grand and Hope, getting the medium sizes up your meal size and a large is just the same size bowl with an extra scoop of fish. Do with that info how you will ;) this place gives great portions no matter what and the workers are very nice and patient. read more

I have never had Poke that I liked until I had this. And, if I wasn't about to pass out from starving, I would've never given this a chance. All the flavors and ingredients work so well together. I ordered the small, which I thought was not going to be enough food, turned out to be just enough. I had kale noodles (extra $1) with salmon and tuna. Their house house works well with the kale noodles. Food is pricey but it's in a food hall area so, it's expected. Yum! read more

PokeBar - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Finally, after a bazillion poke places opening up in Cali, there's a poke restaurant in the financial district! They just opened up, so serivce is little slow and you can see the lines backed up outside the entrance. However I'm confident they'll speed things up soon. I got the medium size with half brown rice and half mixed greens as my base. It was plenty of rice, so I'd never do full on rice if you're somewhat carb conscious. With medium, you get 3 scoops of whatever protein you want. A medium is about right for me and filled me up pretty well. The fish seemed to taste pretty fresh as I didn't see any worms or things moving around in my food. It was a bit confusing in regards to the toppings as my cool server gave me all the toppings/sides, while my coworker only got two sides because another server said you can only get two at most. So I'll have to verify next time which is right. This looks like a promising option in the weekly lunch rotation. read more

Ok I got to say the food here is good. Fresh raw fish, veggies and side dishes. Lines can get pretty long during lunch hour so come before noon. They have inside seating or you can sit outside in the courtyard area. The prices have gone up since the last time I was there by $2 per size. If I remembered correctly it's $10.80, $11.80 and $12.80. I usually order the small half rice and half spring mix. With this you get 1 base, 2 scoops of protein and 2 sides and toppings. I get the salmon and spicy tuna with the house sauce. The spicy tuna is more on the spicy side so if you can't handle spicy don't get it. I don't get the jalapenos and it's still very spicy. What really awes me is their sense of portions. When I order the small, half rice and half spring mix they give you one scoop of rice and a small bunch of spring mix. If you order just rice, they give you just the one scoop of rice. If you order the medium half and half, they only give you 1 scoop of rice and a small bunch of spring mix (same amount you get for the small) but in a bigger bowl....so you are basically paying an extra $1 for one more small scoop of protein instead of the more base and more protein they advertise on their online ordering system. So my recommendation, always get the small (half and half), it's the better deal otherwise go large. Never get just spring mix, they are very stingy on the greens. I work nearby so I've never had to deal with parking. They don't open on the weekends or evenings. They also offer a stamp card (10 times for a free bowl). read more

The food was really good we love it fresh except they forgot to bring all our orders. We had the salmon and spicy tuna poke with brown

I had PokeBar today and the food was tasty and the seafood was fresh. I had gotten the small size and compared to other poke shops I've tried, it was fair small especially for the price. Also, it seemed as though the employees aren't too tedious when it comes to adding toppings and keeping them consistent, by scooping a full spoon and what not. Overall, no complaints, just a few minor details to pay closer attention to I think. read more

PokeBar - Small bowl, with white rice, spicy tuna, shrimp, and corn. Soy sauce had already been added when I took the picture. - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the better poke spots in DTLA but wasn't too memorable. I enjoyed the variety of proteins, toppings and sauces. Everything tasted fresh, the staff were kind but I didn't get a "wow" factor. If I'm ever around the area and I'm craving poke, i'll definitely remember this place, but it isn't a "go to" for me. read more

Pretty decently sized bowl. Not the best poke I've ever had, but it does satisfy the cravings. What I do like about it is that it's a light and fulfilling meal and it's not too saucey. My only complaint is that the rice I had was a bit hard, which means that I got served old rice. read more

PokeBar - Small salmon and albacore - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came to this joint for a quick lunch during work. I love poke so this was a simultaneously enjoyable and disappointing, which I'll explain. The fish and toppings and sauces were all delicious! I got three scoops of salmon with my toppings and house sauce, ponzu sauce, and spicy mayo. And like I said, this was sooo good! I especially liked that they diced their jalapeños so every bite had some spice without the kinda bitter jalapeño taste of rounds. The sad part was their rice. Bordering on inedible tbh. I tried to choke down most of it and still left quite a bit. It was dried out and hard like it was old and unevenly cooked. Some parts softer than others but even the soft parts were not actually totally soft. It might have just been a bad batch idk. Would be willing to try again because the fish and sauces were so good but the rice was a huuuge let down. read more

PokeBar - Medium with three scoops salmon - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a pretty good poke spot. The fish tastes really fresh and there's a decent variety of mix-ins. I was really excited that they had edamame. It's hard to come by at many poke places. They also have a good variety of sauces. So why only 4 stars and not 5? I ordered a medium bowl with white rice as my base. It only comes with a small scoop of rice. I easily get full off medium poke bowls but by the end of this one, I was still hungry. Also, their portions aren't big at all. Edamame...small scoop. Masago...small scoop. Imitation crab...you get the picture. It's pretty cool they use containers that are biodegradable but the rice sticks on all the sides so it's hard to eat everything. Would I be back? Only if I was craving poke and didn't have a big appetite. It's good quality but I will stick with other places where they're a little more generous. read more

My go-to poke bar near work. Their service is fast! the line is usually long but it goes by fast. I usually get the small size and it gets me full. I also order miso soup which is a dollar. You can pre-order yours via Ritual and get points but I like going downstairs and looking at what they put and how they put it. The owner is super friendly too. I always order - half salad, half brown rice, a scoop of salmon and a scoop of spice tuna. I put sesame oil in the mix then make sure I have a little bit of jalapano, seaweed, shredded crab, and put their house soyo(?) sauce. Then I finish it up with a little bit of fried garlic sprinkled on top of the order. Don't forget your saracha too on the side. Personally it completes the taste. I may have forgotten something but that shouldn't overpower anything and still keep it light, delicious and tasty. I hope this helps! read more

It's so hard to find affordable places to eat by my job, I decided to come here as a co worker recommended this place. I came in around 11:40 no line . Service was fast and the staff were friendly and helpful. The place is clean . There isn't many tables to eat but you can always take it to go. The way the poke was presented was not usual poke. It wasn't all mix so because of that I didn't think it would taste good, I was wrong. It was amazing it was so fresh and they have more options for the toppings. The price is affordable. The only thing I didn't like is they don't have guacamole it's only avocado. The sauce is good, the spicy mayo was really good and also the ponzu sauce. I would definitely come back . read more

Pretty good place to eat. They serve this really fast, similar to the chipotle style set up where you ask for what you want. The taste was fresh and the sauce for the poke was really good. Just wished they added more salmon and tuna but i could see from a cost perspective in that location why they can't. read more

PokeBar - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place offers great customization for a poke bowl, and the ingredients are very fresh. This was a huge plus for me. However, the portion errs on the smaller side as they are cautious to not give you a bit more than expected - all the measurements are exact or less than the serving measurements. I don't really think it's a big deal, as it ensures everyone gets the standard portion and thus shown no favoritism. Nonetheless, it's still a pretty good place to get a poke fix. read more

I think this Poke place is just like a lot of the poke places that's been popping up. I would say the quality of the fish is definitely better than many of the places. This place is really clean and I like how the menu is really broken down for everyone to understand. Some poke places have very confusing menus, but this one is straightforward and lets you know what you can pick and when there will be extra charges. The service here is always fantastic. There's always a long line during lunch though. read more

PokeBar - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here for lunch and was extremely happy with what I got. I got the medium bowl and got 3 scoops of protein, tuna salmon, and octopus. They have other protein options such as albacore, spicy tuna, shrimp, scallop, and tofu. They have alot of choices for the mix such as 2 different onions, cucumber, cilantro, pineapple, edameme, kale, corn and jalapeno, 5 different sauces, 3 different sides, and 4 various toppings. Overall alot of different ways to make combinations! My quick review below; Quality of food - decent (quality of fish and octopus was okay) Quantity of food - large for its price tag Price - got the medium (3 scoops of protein) at 11.99. So worth it! We felt like we got the best bang for our buck. Decent quality, large quantity, for 11.99! We will definitely be coming back again. read more
