Pretty solid poke at this place. I just dropped by not expecting much, since I just ran across this place and wanted a quick dinner. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my bowl; everything tasted fresh and clean, almost up to par with Uroko! I had a large bowl with 2 scoops salmon and 1 scoop lobster surmi! No regrets! I especially liked how they didn't have a limit on the toppings and had a variety of punchy sauce flavors available to mix and try! Nothing extraordinary, since it is just a chain co, but I will say I would definitely get this again if I wanted some quick, to-go poke. Workers are also really chill and service is quick, which is a huge plus if you are looking for fast takeout. Only problem I had with this location is parking, since it's in the same strip as a huge gym and cava--so parking was a little crowded, but other than that I really enjoyed my meal! read more

After returning 3 months later, I can say the quality is better! The rice has a normal texture, and the service is excellent. The quality of the fish is fresher, and has a good taste. The staff was super understanding and helpful making my order and helping me check out. The space is still clean and friendly, with nice lighting and open seating. I'm happy the company contacted me to come back and try the place again! They don't have a way to scan the QR codes for rewards so make sure you have the app and save your receipts for points. read more

Wild that you find a piece of metal string in your poke bowl ! Wilder? The company is saying they fixed the problem but they won't take care of you and it's up to the party vendor when they made the food ! Don't come here if you want safe edible food and people who will take care of you for the sake of hospitality read more

I wanted a salad base for my bowl but was horrified to see that the salad greens look wilted and browned. The person making the poke continued to place those rotten looking salad in the bowl so I had to stop her and opt for rice. The avocadoes were all black and brown too. Had I asked for avocado, I'm pretty sure she would have scooped it in the bowl. Def won't be going back. read more

The dynamite shrimp was just too good. The flavor was bright and it went well with all the sides. I like that instead of spending my credits in ClassPass I just can come here. Be warned that finding parking here is really difficult around 5:00pm. I had to go around the parking couple of times. read more

Pokeworks - Poke Near Me - Fullerton, California

I've been to almost every poke place around the OC AND LA area and this place is the absolute worst. For the portions and price you are charging is absurd. Why would anyone pay $13 for 1 scoop of protein where everywhere else charges the same and they give you 3 proteins at least. For the price you charge you should be giving more proteins. This is the kind of place you'll go when you're desperate for poke when everything else is closed. Horrible read more

It is way overpriced, and they charged for add ons, $1.50 for avocado, $0.50 for masago, $0.75 for extra sauce, and the fish was slimy and stringy. very dissapointed. Poke OC in Newport is way better, way cheaper, and doesn't charge exyra for everything, like most normal poke places. Pokeworks is gross!!!! Never again read more

Always fresh and they have patience. Plus air conditioning in the summer is great Thanks Esteban and MJ, and see you next time read more

I tried to make my own bowl and it came out pretty good. Fresh fish, lots of sauce options. Hardworking, polite stuff. Fast service. Overall it's a good local poke spot. Few sittings available read more

First time at Pokeworks and it did not disappoint. Loved the store ambiance, it was bright and inviting. The service was great, everyone was friendly and fast! Now the food, it was probably one of the best Poke i had in the area. My proteins were fresh and the sauces were delicious (I got ponzu fresh and umami shoyu). I also got one of their signature drink - the mango coconut fresca, which surpisingly complemented my bowl very well! read more

Had Pokeworks for the first time on 2/26/26 for an early dinner. I was looking forward to the meal, seeing that most locations had 4+ stars with thousands of reviews. Upon looking at it, everything seemed fresh and fairly portioned. Unfortunately the white rice was almost inedible. It was hard as if the rice was undercooked or the person cooking it didn't provide enough water. It ruined the entire experience for me and didn't even finish the bowl. Probably will not be coming back to this location as others have had similar issues. Be weary. read more

Decided to check out the newish pokeworks that opened up near me. It is located right next to the also newish paris baguette. Location is easy to find and easy to get to. The parking lot is pretty busy, likely due to the gym, as well as other restaurants located in the same shopping center. The service was good, nothing out of this world but nice enough. I ordered 2 bowls. There are a good amount of different proteins, including chicken and tofu, as well as good amount of toppings that are included in the price. Scoops and toppings were well portioned, each bowl was about $15 which I felt was fair. Overall a good experience and will come back here again. read more

The poke tasted much better than the other poke place I've been to, and the staff was very friendly. My only complaint was the portion size. I ordered a medium bowl, but it felt too small for what I'd expect from a medium. read more

I have tried other pokeworks and they have always been really good. Today, this location was not good at all. We placed an online order for pick up for 2 pokebowls. We only live about 5 mins away. When we got home, the White rice was soggy. The rice was also so hot that it pretty much cooked our fish. Really disappointing. Everything taste like mush. Also, one plate was suppose to be half rice, half salad... it was all rice. Pretty disappointing. Maybe today was an off day (Sunday) read more

I genuinely dislike this location. It's almost always completely empty. The staff is usually kind and helpful, but the place feels dull and neglected. The drink machine is often broken, there are sometimes flies, and overall it feels like a cheap Yoshinoya knockoff. Portions are inconsistent too--it really depends on how generous the worker feels that day, which shouldn't be a thing. What's more confusing is that this place seems like it should be doing well, but it just isn't. It feels like someone thought they could buy success, slap a concept together, and let it run on autopilot. There's something honorable about food coming from people with real roots--Hawaii, Japan, the fish industry--people who actually care and are present. That's missing here. I never see an owner, never see leadership, never see anyone really trying. Things aren't fixed, there's no energy, no vision. It feels lazy and uninspired. If I owned this place, I'd be there every day--welcoming people, fixing what's broken, dialing in the menu, actually representing island food with pride instead of serving cookie-cutter bowls. Right now it feels like someone is just collecting money from a distance, and it's honestly embarrassing. This isn't about the staff--it never is. When a place feels this lifeless, it's always ownership and management. Until that changes, this spot just feels like a placeholder, waiting for something better to move in. read more

We ordered 3 bowls for delivery. Only 1 was accurate (the pre-built one). The two custom ones were not right. Furthermore, two of three were 2-protein and the third was a 3-protein. The 3-protein had less fish and rice than the 2-protein bowls. That was another letdown. The only thing I would say is that the flavors were not bad for the one they got right, and the other two were not bad either, but they were not great and not what we ordered. Goes without saying that I won't order from here again. read more

This place is in a great location, especially if you are near CSUF. The food is decent and the staff has always been kind. One time, they even gave me a spam musubi for free when I couldn't apply a coupon to my online order, which I really appreciated. I also like that they offer tofu as a protein option, which not every poke place does. That said, I have noticed that every time I eat here, my stomach feels upset afterward and I end up needing to use the restroom. It is unusual for me since I have eaten raw fish my whole life and have tried plenty of poke places without any issues. I am not sure what it is, but it has happened consistently enough that I felt it was worth mentioning. Overall, it has some good qualities, but I would be cautious if you have a sensitive stomach. read more

Love this place ... Esteban and Mj were great!!!!! Food was so delicious in every way possible

Soooooo expensive for portion size. I only go cuz my teen asks for it and i can't argue with a teen. The portions are so small for the price. I only order a bowl for him and will eat at home cuz i can't justify spending $40 on 2 take out portions. And then they for the screen asking for a tip. No a tip shouldn't be asked for for take out no service restaurants like these. It really pisses me off that i have to decline it. It's so annoying this recent tipping culture that i want to stop supporting places that ask for tips for doing their jobs. It's one thing if it's a sit down restaurant where they come and bring your food to you, refill your drinks etc. not for places like this. Come on! read more

There was a very friendly staff, fresh food, amazing service by Esteban and MJ! I will return soon!

Amazing quality food & customer service from Esteban and MJ! Quick and easy stop for your poke cravings!

Worst experience ever! My friend and I spent a total of around 40 dollars and we got no protein or sides. So small for the price, do not Go here! Never going there again and telling all my friends the food is bad! read more

Mia has the best customer service! She was very attentive, kind, and even had good recommendations for the poke. 10/10 location!

This review is overdue as I've been ordering for a few months now, but wanted to make sure I gave Jerry (hope that's his name) a shout out for helping me today. I was trying to process my online pick up order but was getting frustrated with their online ordering/app- my cc was declining because the cvv code was not working (not sure why) and then my rewards points weren't calculating or tracking for use on the order so I called out of annoyance, and spoke to him. He helped the situation and I got my order just in time for lunch. I ordered the large bowl, 3 protein plate. Rice as a base, ahi tuna, 2 salmon, cucumber, edamame, poke works classic, ponzu, sesame seeds, wonton crisps, and sriracha aioli on the side, and avocado. This by far has been my favorite poke bowl compared to any other poke spot. Always delicious and fresh. 10/10 every time and I will continue to come back. Thanks again for your help Jerry! read more

I went in here and the staff was so nice!!! I took my order to-go and the food was alright. I built my own poke bowl and everything was alright. This is one of the few poke places I've been to that offer small bits of tofu as an additional topping! Overall, food is as good as other poke places but does have a lot more topping options! read more

Love this place. Best poke around. You should definitely give it a try. Get the spam musubi

I'm standing in line, and I notice a DoorDash driver comes in to pick up an order. Waits patiently because it is busy and finally ask the worker about her order after waiting 10+ minutes and the worker says "oh I delivered that already" and then the DoorDash driver says, "well it was a big order. I was dispatched to deliver what happened." The store employee turned around and walked away I think that is very disrespectful of a company. I will not be back to this establishment. Have there gonna rip off doordash drivers like that?I do not support them. read more

This is the best poke place! The customer service is great! quality is also great! Staff is great! Especially MJ, Esteban, and Bella are amazing!!! read more

The salmon and tuna weren't fresh. The fish was very squishy and tasted fishy. Not fresh at all. The rice continues to be overcooked. My husband and I got sick from the fish. Perhaps we got a bad batch. read more

The workers are so nice and the place is clean :) i got the one protein with spicy salmon and toppings and it was enough to fill me up!

This was my first time eating here and I'm a big sushi fan. I love the amount of options for protein (even tofu for vegetarians) and I love that they offer black garlic sauce because black garlic is harder to find. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I will definitely be coming back! Can't wait to try the other protein options. read more

Esteban was amazing and Roann as well! Service was excellent and friendly. Place is clean!

It's very unlike myself to try a restaurant that had just opened up but since I've been craving a poke bowl for quite a while now and my favorite spots in the Fullerton/Brea area have gone downhill over the years so I decided to try this place out! I was greeted immediately even as the front of house workers were serving another person already. I was met with three friendly faces which included a shift lead, their general manager, and what seemed to be the owner(?). Here's what I ordered step-by-step: **STEP 1 - BASE: White Rice. **STEP 2 - PROTEIN: Ahi Tuna & Salmon. **STEP 3 - MIN-INS: Cucumber, Onion, Edamame, Serrano Peppers, Cilantro, & Hijiki Seaweed. **STEP 4 - SAUCES: Sesame Oil. **STEP 5 - TOPPINGS: Sesame Salad, Surimi Salad, Green Onion, Pickled Ginger, Wasabi, & Sesame Seeds. The rice was pretty average. It was lightly seasoned with sushi vinegar. It wasn't steaming hot nor was it brick cold. The protein are not weighed but they are measured with scoops. The large came with 3 scoops of protein so I opted out for 2 scoops of their ahi tuna and 1 scoop of their salmon. The proteins itself had little to no flavor and they were also cut into cubes but very small. The min-inx including the cucumber and onion were both very flavorless but everything seemed very fresh. The serrano peppers had a nice kick of spice which was great! Everything from the topping section was just okay and nothing to write home about. I understand them charging for avocado but to pay 50 cents for a scoop of masago was disappointing. I love masago on a poke bowl but I didn't bother with that extra cost. Overall, very decent new addition to the poke craze in Fullerton. I can see this location doing quite well since there's several high schools nearby as well as college campuses. Everything was fresh but the flavor department lacked a little bit. Service was spectacular so shoutout to every single person I interacted with while ordering. Good place but I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon because there are more flavorful and affordable poke places within a 10 mile radius. read more

I don't usually make reviews but it pissed me off so much i had to make an account to drop a review. I gave a 2 cuz the staff was friendly and the store is clean. the other 3 stars was solely on food and portion sizing. Overall the store is clean and the staff are super friendly. All members welcomed me as i walked in. What annoyed my visit is the pricing and portion servings, i ordered a large bowl for 3 protein scoops. First of all the White Rice portions. like are we in a rice crisis?! if the rice was being saved for James Bola then i'll understand. Chipotle serves more rice than an asian restaurant that focuses on rice with their foods. Second of all, the lady who was serving me gave me 3 scoops of protein to ONLY fit the size of the scoop. Like she filtered the scoop when she scooped out of the bowl till there was almost nothing left on the scoop. I asked her to give me a proper scoop then she charged me extra. I did ask for Masago and i was aware of the .50¢ extra charge $24.24 after tax is crazy for a bowl that was not even half full. I could spend $14 at Chipotle with all toppings INCLUDING Guac and still not reach the $15 limit whilst still leaving the restaurant belly full. I'm an Avg sized man. i'm not overweight and I work out 5 days a week. I sometimes leave chipotle with a full stomach and food left to take home. But this place truly left me disappointed. Next time i'll go to Cava which is right next to Pokeworks just so i can leave with a full stomach. read more

This is a fresh, new location located within a mile of Fullerton College. The establishment is clean, with friendly employees. They offer a variety of options for poke bowls and poke burritos, with many different proteins and toppings. I have ordered takeout here a handful of times now since they have opened and every time it has been good with improvement to the previous visit. The poke bowls keep getting tastier! The portion sizes are also fair. It can get a little pricey though, so make sure you are using their rewards system! read more
