Even with instruction my meal could've been better but it was still awesome This guy came and ordered after I was paying and his order looked like he was a regular. I should've tried the spicy tuna or salmon and that hot spicy sauce is the best I'm coming ack read more

the quality of food and service has dropped significantly since they first opened about 6 years ago, stopped going as they reduced the portion size an and raised prices read more

This was my first time here. I didnt enjoy it and wouldn't recommend it. 1. Service: as the guy helping me was about to ring me up I saw the sign "mix upon request" so I asked him oh I'm so sorry could you mix it for me and he did it but under his breath said "a word of warning for next time" I found this very rude as there was no one else behind me anyway! Needless to say I regret tipping him -_- also he was not guiding me through the choices or explaining my options 2. Food: I've had poke before and it overall just didn't taste as fresh. My stomach started hurting few minutes after eating it and I only ordered cooked meats too. Not going here again read more

Right down the street from my work place so decided to give it a try. It's in a small business area so it could be a little hard to find. It's like the other poke places where you build your own rice bowl or salad. They also have signature bowls that you could choose if you don't know what you want. What I got: Regular Salad w/ Salmon & Tuna w/ Spicy Mayo Sauce and Everything ($8.50): 3 choices of fish, but I just stick with salmon and tuna. Couldn't really taste the spicy mayo sauce so I wish they had put more into my bowl. Got it with crab meat, avocado, cucumber, white onion, seaweed salad, masago, crunchy onions, and nori strips. Love all the toppings that they offer, but the sauce lacked flavor and made my salad pretty flavorless...I just love everything really sauced! Service: Small little place with a few tables inside and outside. Workers just make your food and you're on your way! They have boba drinks too though! But didn't get a chance to try it...will I be back? Probably not... read more

I've been buying the custom poke bowl for a year now at lunch times, usually 2-3 times a week. Always fresh and tasty cuts of fish, lots of customization and extras options and fairly priced. Has saved me from the junk food default that is so easy to get into the habit of! This is healthy, nutritious and (for me) within walking distance for pick up, though I also do delivery when I'm work-pressed. Prep time is usually 30 minutes or less. The menu is also much broader than poke if you like other Asian fusion styles. A small and trustworthy local business and I'm happy to give an A-rating! read more

I ordered through postmates and chose the three protein bowl and chose double salmon plus spicy tuna. What I received was 4 cubes of salmon, a small scoop of spicy tuna and small amount of toppings but tons of rice. Very disappointed for a $20 bowl. Won't be back. read more

I love this Poke place. It's one of my top 2 in South Orange County. They give plenty for their regular size and the pricing is reasonable! I normally get half sushi rice and half spring mix with Salmon. I don't handle spice well so I opt for no spice! It has plenty of flavor and you can always ask for a bit more sauce if you like your bowls super saucy. I would definitely give this place a try! Once you see the blue umbrellas outside you know you're there! read more

Pokenoya - Updated Prices July 2019 - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Really good, fresh poke in a hole-in-the wall spot. Absolutely worth visiting if you're in the area or work close by. Extremely limited seating. Parking isn't too bad. I recommend planning on getting it to go. Business is very small. The smell inside can sometimes be awful (fishy) but it's worth it for the good food! read more

I didn't even wait to finish my poke bowl to write this review because that's how good it was. 5 scoops of protein for a little over $13 is the best price in OC and best of all they offer scallops as a protein and nobody else does. Large portion, very fresh tuna, plenty of mix ins so let's just say I found my new go-to poke spot. Excellent job guys read more

Pokenoya - Ate half and still have this much to go. Excellent value - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

The quality of fish here is impeccable! My boyfriend and I stop here once a week and the fish is always fresh! Friendly staff!! The place is very clean and one of the best poke bowls I've ever had! Highly recommend this place!!! 10/10! read more

Good service. Fresh tasting fish. Simple menu with simple sauce. Nothing fancy and complex compare with other Poke places. Fish - Tuna - Spicy Tuna - Salmon - Spicy Salmon - Albacore Base - Rice - Brown Rice - Chips - Spring Mix Sauce - Mild - Spicy Drizzle Sauce - Spicy Mayo - Wasabi Mayo - Jack on Fire (essentially water down chinese rooster chili sauce) - Jane on Fire It would be great if they could offer cucumber as a base. Some other Poke places have done that. read more

Yummm. I'm new to the Irvine weekday lunch scene and this was an amazing find. Tucked away in a little business center this place does not disappoint. regular (3proteins) and large (5 proteins) size poke bowls. Tons of options for proteins, sauces and add ins. Best part was that it was all included at 1 price. None of this $1.50 extra for avocado or $1 extra for this and that. I deducted a star for lack of seating as there is space for more outdoor seating but they haven't seemed to utilize it. Overall I will definitely be back. read more

Although not as great as my favorite joint somewhere else down further south, it is great for the location and the quality they give here. Although seating is a bit hard, I rather enjoy my quick poke fix and would come here again for their quality ingredients. It may not seem like a lot for the quantity but it for sure fills u up in the end. Very nice. read more

Pokenoya charges ~ $17 and something cents (before tax) for 3 scoops of protein. That's more expensive than nearby places that sells at $11 or $13 for the same amount of protein. read more

Nice place! Food was good! Ordered the large build your own poke and was pleasantly surprised to see that adding things like crab meat and avocado were included in the price of the bowl. The large order allows you to pick 5 proteins so of course I went for all fish and tako (octopus). The fish was fresh and the price was right! Was a little disappointed that there was very little seating inside and how there were no fountain drinks. The hours are geared for lunch only so plan accordingly. Would recommend this to anyone and I will be going back! read more

Pokenoya - Yummm! - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Owner gives Mr. Krabs vibes. Chunks of salmon weren't fresh so bad I spat it out when I ate it for leftovers a few hours later. Somehow wasn't terrible at first but that quickly went away the same day... read more

Pokenoya - Chunks o' salmon - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I was so excited to try this place because its soooooo close to my office. It looked good and the line moved at a quick pace. I ate my poke bowl. After I ate my bowl I got in the car and drove home and thats when it happened. I felt sick and so did my friend who also got a bowl. Its possibly MSG. We both felt sick and both got sick once we were at work. Both our stomachs had a lot of pressure and pain and discomfort. I called the company several times but know answer. Will not be back read more

Five stars for the quality of the food and the value too. I got a bowl with brown rice / spring mix, seared albacore, octopus, and spicy scallops, avocado, crab meat, onion and cucumber, seaweed salad, sesame, masago, and a dash of furikake and very light spicy sauce. Done to perfection. I met with some old coworkers that day, and we were hanging out at the tables outside for a bit longer chatting. One of the employees came out and refilled our water, which was appreciated during this heat wave. Very thoughtful and over the top service. Their water is filtered and not the tap water you get at most other places. read more

This is probably one of the best poke places in Irvine. Driving by you would never notice it cause it's in an industrial part of Irvine. The tuna is super fresh and the veggies are very crisp and refreshing. They are very generous with rice and toppings which is always a plus. I will definitely be going back read more

I just wanted to send a quick update to warn people: If you order takeout straight from the yelp website, they have raised the price of the regular sized bowl by a couple of dollars. Make sure you order from their website pokenoya.net or just order in person so you're not paying extra. Not sure what the reason for this is. Quality of the food is still wonderful, as well as very friendly service every time I'm there. read more

Was looking for a new poke place by work and this one definitely did not disappoint! The inside is a little small but the line goes really fast so there's no problem. read more

My first poke bowl in CA after 9 years in Phoenix! So fresh and delicious. 3 raw proteins (no sauce), 1/2 brown rice and mixed greens, cucumber, edamame, green onions, spicy sauce, topped with ginger, seaweed, masago and avocado. Sheer bliss! Will be back soon. read more

Pokenoya - Sheer bliss! - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

It's A-OK. Super busy at lunch. I wish they had more sizes for poke bowls available. Fish seemed fresh. Really, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Glad I ordered online instead of waiting during a packed lunch crowd. I prefer Pokeworks at Culver Plaza. Different strokes for different folks I guess. read more

I love Pokenoya! Delicious poke and they're always super fast. Simple and straightforward while still giving a good amount of options and the ingredients are always fresh. It's a bit pricey for lunch (but all poke is, this place is fairly priced for poke) so I only come once a week or so but it's always worth it. read more

Pokenoya - 4 scoops of tuna with crunchy onion, spicy mayo and eel sauce on top - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Work nearby so very convinient. Not bad for a poke place and will do in a pinch. About $9 for 2 scoops of protein. 1 scoop shy of most places for a small. if you want 4 scoops, it'll set you back about $12. Decent variety of proteins, add ons, and sauces. I think this place is decent enuf but I would kick their flavor a notch if I wanna enjoy it next time. I need to find the right sauce combo. Also feel that the fish could be fresher but not bad tho. overall, decent. And they sell breakfast and boba too! read more

Best, friendliest service I've experienced at a poke place. So nice! 5 stars for service, 4 for fish and nice variety of selections and 4 for pricing Spicy K sauce is a must try (Get the Korean sauce on the side!) Large plate is 11.95 and wasnt that large... Half brown rice and half spring mix was a good option.. they give a lot of rice! The mix was slightly bitter... the brown rice is better than any other poke place I've been to (including Wow Bento) Spicy salmon was my favorite; I also enjoyed the tuna, albacore and regular salmon. You can sample before you get it :) I didn't venture in to octopus or scallops but if that's your thing they have it and my friend enjoyed it. Unlimited ginger is a plus :-D I also enjoyed the crunchy onion and garlic topping amongst basic toppings. They are generous with their toppings (Good selection but not as many as some other places) definitely fresh though. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Always fresh always great best I've ever had. Totally recommend to my friends and family

This is a super small joint in the middle of no where LOL but the food is pretty good. It's mainly for business people who have to grab a quick lunch. The fish is fresh, probably the most fresh that I have tried in Irvine so far. The toppings are pretty simple. I got the half brown rice half spring mix with all the toppings. It was overall a good meal, but didn't blow me away or anything. Tastes how it looks. read more

Pokenoya - Regular Poke Bowl (3 Fish) - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I've actually never been here physically. But I order from here all the time. Every single time foods been great. Fish is always fresh and their sauces are fantastic. I've recommended it to many people. read more

Stopped by here today to pick up some lunch for me and my mom. Read pretty good reviews so I was excited to try it. I brought it home and as my mom and i are eating our bowls we realize that the rice was not fully cooked. (I had white and she had brown) The food wasn't bad but because the rice was still kind of hard it kind of ruined the meal ): I would say that overall the flavor was okay but I probably will not be going back. read more

I wish there were more poke places like Pokenoya in the Bay Area! My boyfriend and I were in So Cal during the winter break and this spot came in clutch on our way home. It was cheap, fresh, and you can choose a bunch of ingredients (up to 3 protein!). Loved it! read more

I'm gonna echo the previous patrons' issue with ordering online. It's quite problematic that online order keeps getting the orders wrong (during my first time ordering, establishment gave me sushi rice instead of brown; second time: they didn't give me any avocado, white onion, cucumber for my base, and remaining 3 toppings that I asked for). I work in a med facility and prefer to preorder online to save time, it would help if pokenoya was more careful with the online order...if not, then just don't offer online ordering at all to prevent customers' frustration?! Food is good and fresh; sauce is solid. Pricing is decent, but for the love of god, please get our online orders right! (Throwing tantrum bc my bowl is basically just rice with salad, fish, and sauce?!) read more

Great meal, fast service but most importantly cold fresh ingredients!! I love it spicy and they have great sauces and fresh cilantro and jalapeños!! Lucky for me I work right around the corner. read more

Great poke spot! I picked up lunch from here with a friend on a week day around 12pm. The actual shop is very small with no seating inside. There are a few tables outside, but it was too hot on the day I visited. I imagine they get a lot of customers from the businesses area. The seasoning/sauce they use to mix the fish is delicious! The prices are also on point, but I had to deduct a star because it costs $3 to add edamame since it is considered a "protein". I'm not a fan of that pricing scheme, but I paid for it anyway. read more

Location is odd, in a business complex however plenty of parking available. It's very busy for lunch, line is out the door. There's a small little table inside, not the best for groups. Fish is fresh very tasty. No charge for avocado but they charge for edemame, which is really odd. Overall, it's really good but it's horrible for lunch. It took over 30 minutes to get my food. read more

Hands down my favorite poke place in Orange County. Great quality, best tasting and super friendly staff!

My bowl was amazing! I got 3 scoops of salmon with spicy mayo (my favorite combo). All the add-ins are good as well! Highly recommend trying Pokenoya! read more

Pokenoya - Regular Poke Bowl (3 Fish) - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

There was never any hesitation for me that I loved Pokenoya the best out of all the poke chains in Irvine. I've got plenty of reasons why I favor this place, but here's the highlights reel in my book: - Unbeatable price. Your basic 3-toppings bowl is $10.95, and honestly it's pretty filling. What poke places are still one dollar sign on Yelp anyway? (Please never change this. I will literally cry.) - Free avocado. #cheapthrills. Living luxuriously. What's good, Chipotle? - House sauce is a perfect combination of sesame oil, soy sauce, and spice. One of my favorite sauce to poke pairings to date. - Super fast with online orders. - Friendly and attentive staff. The toppings aren't overwhelmingly vast either, which allows you to focus on the essentials. Sometimes when places have corn, jalapenos, mangoes, kimchi, and basically a full salad bar I'm not even sure what to get and my bowl is an overflowing mess of indecisive impulsivity, and I feel none of that when I'm at Pokenoya. Storytime, when placing my to-go order via Yelp today, I learned that there is a Pasadena Pokenoya, which is what brought me to finally write this long overdue review. After quickly calling the Pasadena location to cancel my mistake, both locations were extremely accommodating to cancel at one and make my order at the other. Fantastic customer service. Will continue to be a loyal customer at this location - thank you for never disappointing, Pokenoya! read more

Love this place. The staff is always friendly and the seafood is very fresh. The selection is good and it's very easy to order. It's a small shop but they put a lot of care into what they do. read more
