Went here for lunch with a few coworkers and Pokeworks didn't disappoint! Super fresh fish and a variety of sauces, I've never tried a Yuzu based sauce before, and it complimented perfectly with the ahi tuna :) Lunch rush can be a little crazy, but the service was quick, and they have a ton of space inside. Love the vibes here, but a little more expensive comparatively to other Poke places in OC. read more

Fraudulent / theft charge! Overcharged my credit card without permission. They overcharged me. I tipped with cash yet they still deducted another portion of the tip on Apple Pay WITHOUT my permission. read more

Build a poke bowl heaven! So many different options to choose from, including lobster surimi, pineapple or mango toppings, and their new black garlic aioli sauce. I'm a dedicated salmon poke bowl girl with the usual poke works classic sauce type. As expected, my bowl was delicious! I love that there are different size options. Small was plenty for me. My salmon was fresh, and all the toppings tasted fresh as well. They have many unique items such as poke bombs, chicken ramen miso soup, and tons of tempting drinks. My husband got their masubi and he said it was delicious. We both agreed we would come back next time we are in the area. I am tempted to venture out and try some of their other items. Overall, a pleasant experience! read more

This is a good choice for a fresh poke bowl. I got the Half Ahi, Half Salmon bowl. The Portion: It's a perfectly sized meal for one person. The Flavor: They include a good variety of toppings, which adds a lot of texture and keeps the flavor profile interesting throughout the bowl. Good bowl for ~$15. It didn't leave a strong enough impression for a return visit. read more

Favorite Poki place. The sauces are AMAZING & fish is fresh and yummy. Carl & John best team serving me.

I prefer poke bowls limited to only essential ingredients, but I also cant help myself from getting everything- if it is available! Pokeworks is one of those place where every ingredient that can possibly go into a bowl is available. Decent price and decent poke. When we walked in it smelled DELICIOUS. They said you can have items torched and whatever they last torched smelled deliciioous. Not sure why I didn't try my food torched after making a fuss about the scents. Their chili oil topping is also a very good chili oil! Dim sum quality chili oil imo and very crispy. Doesn't belong in poke but I got it anyways haha. The girl working was lively, patient, and a positive interaction. read more

First time at a pokeworks and I went with the spicy ahi bowl over mixed greens. I also grabbed Spam musubi for the first time ever, which surprised me. The bowl comes loaded with ahi tuna, cucumber, sliced onion, edamame, masago, green onion, sesame seeds, onion crisps, and shredded nori, all tossed with their spicy sauce. Everything looks fresh right away. The tuna is clean and tender, the cucumbers add a cool crunch, and the onions give it just enough bite without overpowering anything. The masago and sesame seeds add texture, and the ginger i asked for tied everything together. The spicy sauce coats everything evenly and gives the bowl some heat without drowning it. Over mixed greens, it stays light but still filling. Each bite feels balanced, nothing overpowering, nothing missing. Last-minute decision, I also ordered Spam musubi. I've seen Spam my whole life and never had the urge to try it until today. It's a thick slice of grilled Spam over seasoned rice, wrapped with seaweed. The Spam is crisp on the outside and tender inside, salty in a good way, and it works really well with the rice. Simple, comforting, and way better than I expected. Everything was really good. I enjoyed the bowl and the spam musubi, and I'm glad I finally tried it! read more

Great service and very good food!!! Karen and Emmanuel helped us! I would definitely come again!!!

I come here all the time, amazing food and service always. Shout out to Carl and John, great workers!!

It was delivered and it was very good. The food was delicious. I ordered the three item salmon half rice half salad was delicious. I already said that, but it really was. It was more than I could eat. I added on cucumbers, corn edamame, krab and crunchy onions. I wish I had gotten those on the side if I could, but it was very delicious again I said that it was packed nicely with some sauces on the side that I asked for also, they gave me chopsticks and a fork and cannot speak of the ambience since I didn't go into the store, but overall I would order from there again or go in there and have food also they have happy hour before 5 PM and you can get it discounted read more

I think I might have just come in on an off day, but I was disappointed with this poke. There is very little rice served and the fish serving was skimpy, but boy did they drench the bowl in sauce. You can see in the photo that the rice is swimming in sauce. I would say be very vocal about how you like your poke prepared at this location depending who is your server. Other than that, the staff and ambiance is nice. read more

Was at a training and wanted to walk somewhere for lunch and stumbled upon Pokeworks. The place is clean and the employees helpful. There are predetermined bowls you can order or build your own. I opted to build my own. There are many options for protein and toppings. I appreciated that. The Serrano aioli sauce was quite good as well. My salmon was a good texture and not fishy. I also ordered a jasmine milk tea. After a sip, it just tasted like milk. They were kind and added a little more tea, but it still tasted off. I ended up throwing it away. Not going to bring down the overall review since the poke itself was good and the employees were kind. Just don't order the milk tea. I'd go back if I were in the area. read more

Came here for the first time, overall a good experience. I got the 'small' bowl which consists of only one scoop of protein, choose your own base. Unlimited toppings. The person behind the counter was nice, but kinda stingy with almost all the ingredients. Felt like I should've gotten a bigger bowl. I've gone to poke places where one scoop is plenty, here the portions seemed a little stingy. Everything tastes great. I got a free garlic musubi with check in on Yelp, spicy but delicious! No sodas or any drinks sold besides their specialty drinks, so we just for water. Inside the place was clean but very empty. Wouldn't come out of my way for this location. read more

Absolutely delicious! My order was spot-on and the fish was incredibly fresh--tender, vibrant, and full of flavor, exactly what you hope for in a great poke. The service was equally impressive: friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. This place takes pride in what they serve, and it shows. Highly recommend! read more

I was so excited to try this poke place as the reviews seemed promising. There was another poke spot of mine that I went to often and I came here with the expectation that they'd match. Everything about the poke bowls were fantastic: portion, ingredients, pricing, etc. One thing that I am disappointed by was the ponzu sauce. I asked for heavy and when I went home there was no taste whatsoever! Without any flavor from the sauce the poke just tasted like nothing. I highly suggest you choose two or more sauces instead of just one. Maybe I chose the wrong one but it made my whole meal taste bland. Love that with check in you can get a garlic spam musubi ! read more

Different variety of choices I don't usually see most of the Poké spots I've been to and it tastes great too. Give it a try if you like poke

Absolutely loved this place! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming . The Hawiann Poke bowl was so fresh with generous portions, perfectly seasoned and so flavorful! Everything tastes high quality and thoughtfully prepared. It's obvious they care about both the food and the customer experience. I will definitely be coming back and strongly recommend stoping in if you're craving great poke!! 10/10 read more

Very mid. They bribe people for good reviews w free drinks. Pretty expensive and they're stingy for the price

Another pokeworks location that just opened up. Usually I'm a little bit biased (and snobby heh) about poke that's not in Hawaii but I decided to give this place a try. For $15 it does the job and it's a decent amount of fish. They do load it up with a lot of rice but it's not as soft/fluffy like I'm usually used to. Get all the topics you want to match how much rice they'll give you lol. If you ask nice they might throw in some masago for free hehe thanks for that. spicy mayo (I think they call it Sriracha aioli lol): I rlly like this sauce and usually like to keep my poke pretty clean but I had my expectations low for any mainland poke. The tuna: It's decent but a little fishy The salmon: Pretty good and I'd get this again next time read more

Pokeworks is a new eatery located in the Costa Mesa Courtyards shopping mall, located at the corner of 19th St and the Park Ave. This location opened barely 2 months ago, it is already drawing a crowd. I ordered a spicy ahi brown rice bowl and it is pretty good. Rice was fluffy and ahi was flavorful. I was tempted to order its lobster bowl, but I want to try a more traditional bowl first. Service at Pokeworks is good. The guy behind the counter was already helping 2 customers when I walked in, and a guy in the back jumped in to help me with my order. I don't know whether this is a company store or owned by a franchisee, I think it will do such fine here, so closed to the waterfront. read more
