This was my first time trying Pokeworks and it didn't disappoint! I was excited to order the burrito! They have so many options and it was all quick and easy to order. The portions are extremely generous!! The place is clean and the service was super friendly! I will visit again when I'm in LA. read more

This is the first poke place I have tried in LA, and I honestly do not know if the prices are normal or just wild. You pay a lot and do not get much protein. Not enough fish for the price. I came with my dog and got the kids meal for him, which was just bare chicken and almost ten dollars. The bowl was tiny. I ordered the three protein combo for myself and the total came out to a little over thirty dollars. I expected much bigger portions because it is a combo, but that was not the case. Because of that, I probably will not be coming back. That said, the food itself was good and the employees were really nice and friendly. I do want to mention the ahi tuna had a weird aftertaste. I am a huge sushi fan and usually can tell when fish is high quality to the tea, and this did not taste like that to me. The quality felt okay overall, but the quantity was definitely lacking. I would describe this place like Sweetgreen, but for poke. Fast, easy, and simple. If you want something quick, it works. If you want value and to actually feel full, I would probably look elsewhere. read more

Being from Hawaii, I crave poke (especially spicy ahi) every so often but am always scared to try a new spot lol. Pokeworks was decent, thankfully! Spicy ahi bowl - Yum. Flavors were exactly what I expected, but I think the edamame was extra/unnecessary. Yuzu ponzu salmon - Ok. Wouldn't get again. The ponzu sauce was too light & although I usually like yuzu, I felt it overwhelmed the dish. Salmon didn't taste very fresh either. If the portion was any smaller, I wouldn't return but it's actually pretty worth it! I love that you're able to customize your own bowl too so I do plan to return for that. read more

Huge interior and exterior seating. They have free street parking and free garage parking lot adjacent in the building. Fast fresh flavors and lots of options to customize. It has one of the largest spaces I've seen for a poke spot. They even have a Foosball table which is kind of random quirky but fun idea. read more

Great for a healthy and light lunch option! Nana was super nice and helpful. She suggested the Pokeworks classic sauce which I was hesitant about at first because it's called a "vinaigrette" but it was yummy! All ingredients are fresh and delicious! I feel like you just have to ask for extra on the toppings because they tend to be kind of light. The pineapple was soooo fresh and sweet! A flavor bomb for this meal! I was also shocked to see them have spicy tuna with actual chunks of ahi tuna(I can't stand the ground stuff). They offer some discounts from the website which is nice. Inside is nice and clean and not too busy. Would recommend and return! read more

Recently stumbled upon Pokeworks after moving to the neighborhood. After 3-4 visits, I'm sold. Top 3 poke restaurant in LA, with ease. Customer service is excellent every time I've visited. Their staff is extremely kind, and Zerya has recommended new combinations that have changed how I order Poke! A+ service and ambiance. Lunch on their outdoor patio is slowly starting to become a ritual during my busy workweeks. You can't beat the quality and price! read more

I finally found a new poke place to go to. I crave it all the time but it's hard to find a place that does it right. The sauces, the fish quality, the toppings were are all on point. The bowls are very filling and the price is good considering you can get all the toppings you want. Pro tip if you like your bowls with a slight kick get it a little bit of the chili crisps. It adds a whole new layer of flavor! read more

Having worked next to a poke place, I've been tired of that concept for some time now. But this place has restored my faith in raw fish done well. With a variety of tunas, salmons and even lobster (!) it was fun choosing my flavors but honestly I loved the options of sides too including avocado, seaweed salad and kale. I had their house dressing which wasn't overly sweet and pretty perfect. They have designer bowls which I'll probably try next time. On a side note, Mama Musubi which is only available at farmers market will eventually be at this location as well - I remember them being pretty delicious so I'm looking forward to that as well. read more

Pokeworks - Half tuna half lobster half white rice half mixed greens and assorted sides - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Worst portions ever!!!!!! I could count how much edamame there is here. You charge for extras but give nothing. This is the least amount of food I've ever been given for the price. Shameful. Never go here. 90% rice 10% everything else. read more

Pokeworks - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been a regular customer at this place for quite some time, coming here at least once a week. Unfortunately, every visit has become more disappointing than the last. The staff is polite, but clearly poorly trained by the owner. There is absolutely no consistency. Every time I order a Large bowl, the portion size depends on who's serving -- sometimes it's reasonable, other times it's ridiculously small. The scoops are inconsistent, and more than once I've been given what looks like half a scoop of fish being counted as a full portion. When you question it, they tell you that if you want more, you have to pay extra -- which is unacceptable considering how expensive the poke already is. There is also a promotion advertised saying that if you spend over $25, you get $5 off. This feels misleading. I usually spend around $42 (ordering for myself and my wife) and have never received this discount. Even the owner couldn't properly explain how the promotion works. This place seriously lacks standards, transparency, and proper management. The owner needs to train the staff better and understand what consistency and customer service really mean. It's no surprise the place gets emptier every time I go. Very disappointed. I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place to anyone until major improvements are made. read more

Decided to give Pokeworks a try and I'm glad I stopped by because their selection is great! Had the lobster poke with chili crisp to spice it up and I think this may be my go to spot whenever I'm in Hollywood. read more

I've officially found my new favorite poke spot!!! I've already been twice this week and can't wait to go back already! What sets this place apart is the quality. I've tried so many poke places and honestly nothing compares. Everything tastes so fresh and delicious, And the overall experience is just next level. The staff are friendly too :) Once you've tried it, you'll understand why I'm raving about it. Hands down the best poke in Los Angeles. Highly recommended! read more

I've been a regular at their Irvine location for years, so I'm excited to finally get the same poke bowl here in LA. This new spot just opened this week and has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. I love all the toppings and customization options you can add to the bowl. I got build-your-own bowl where you can choose: - base: white rice, brown rice, salad, or +$1 for ramen noodle - proteins: salmon, spicy salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, shrimp, chicken, tofu, lobster surimi. Large is 3 scoops and regular is 2 scoops. - add mix-ins: add your vegetables or fruits, highly suggest getting their mandarin oranges or mango if you choose salmon as your protein. Such a great combo! - sauce: Pokeworks classic, umami shoyu, sweet shoyu, sweet chili gochujang, siracha aioli, Serrano aioli, ponzu fresh, Hawaiian salt and chili. Tbh I wasn't a huge fan of Serrano aioli based on the toppings I got for my bowl. Next visit, I probably would just go with pokework classic, which is a ginger sesame vinaigrette. - add ons: toppings and crunches are available at the end. I recommend seaweed salad and surimi salad! You can even add avocado for $1 more or masago for $0.50 more. Be sure to add some crunch like dried onions! They give your bowl the perfect texture boost. read more

Great poke spot! The restaurant is clean. The ingredients are fresh. I like that they also offer musubis and coffee. It's like a one stop shop for lunch. I love the convenience. The staff is friendly and nice. They are very helpful with building your poke bowl. Lots of great sauce options. My favorite part is this place actually has easy street parking (especially for Hollywood!). Highly recommend for a healthy meal at decent prices. read more

I have to update my review to 5 stars lol so happy to have a neighborhood poke spot, i love this place!

Honestly the best poke I ever had in my life!! Tried new toppings I never had before and was amazing. Customer service was really welcoming and friendly. It may be a far drive for us but will definitely come back here. It was worth it!! read more

The service was nice. They have a nice patio area to eat which they probably share with another restaurant. The food was decent. I felt like I did not get that much fish for 18$. Portions felt rationed. The meal itself lacked sauce and I did put "extra" sauce when ordering through the kiosk and it still wasn't enough. The bright side is that it is healthy which was the main goal when we went out to eat. read more

I don't like to give bad reviews but I am a huge Poke fan, I am always driving to different cities (because of my work) and love to try different poke restaurants to give my best reviews but this one I had to give a one star, reason being Is because they (Don't take cash) which is unbelievable for a business I mean I saw a cash drawer when I walked in so I'm guessing it's for design purposes, maybe (MY CASH IS NO GOOD HERE) if you get my drift but that if fine I will take my business elsewhere read more

The most fresh poke here! The team was super friendly, feeling good & satisfied after the meal here. read more

Pokeworks - Salmon Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins) - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really fresh fish and great sauces at a good price with nice portions. You can get a lil extra of the toppings if you ask.

Pokeworks had a solid setup with a quick moving line and a lot of toppings to choose from, but the bowl I got didn't hit the mark. I went with the lobster and spicy tuna, and while the flavors were fine, the amount of protein was disappointing. There were maybe three or four tiny cubes of tuna and barely any lobster at all. It felt like I just paid for a bowl of rice topped with some garlic crisps. Not the worst, but definitely not satisfying. Maybe I picked the wrong combo, but for what I got, it didn't feel worth it. read more

This place rocks. Fresh fish and very nice staff. I wish the scoops were bigger (I get like 8 edamame kernels total) but otherwise excellent

Good poke. Lots of topping choices, and good rice. Enjoyed the food. There is also a lot of space to sit. Outside seating is nice.

Great fast casual lunch spot. Lots of options/toppings. Fresh ingredients. Helpful service!

I just went to the soft opening and food was pretty good. I got the spicy tuna bowl and my son got the Luxe Lobster. There is also also have a coffee stand and Mama Musubi for Japanese rice ball. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of space. Since this was the first day service was this a little bit slower, but I'm going to give them a pass because I'm sure this will ramp up as they get used to everything. read more

Came tonight before cinespa! So amazing! So fresh Highly highly recommend Serrano Aioli. Absolutely scrumptious would come back for that alone! Owner/manager was the sweetest! Go visit! read more

Said they were open till 8:30pm and were closed when we showed up. Even the open sign was on.

Very impressed with Pokeworks! Super fresh fish and ingredients. I had the Yuzu Ponzu Salmon bowl. The salmon was really fresh with a slight tangy sweet flavor. Delicious! Definitely coming back to try the other signature bowls. read more

Pokeworks - Yuzu Ponzu Salmon Bowl - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here to try poke for the first time a couple weeks ago and have been back 3-4 times since. If a young Asian guy named Darrien happens to be working, do whatever he tells you. He gave me some helpful suggestions the first time: for example, the bowl provides you better bang for your buck since they can fit more rice, while the burrito needs to be wrapped. (The seaweed-wrapped burrito, while smaller, is still really good.) The second time I went, he concocted some sauce that was a combination of 3-4 different ones. Dude should be a chef because it was some of the best spicy sauce I've ever had and paired perfectly with the poke. The food overall is really good and feels clean and filling, though slightly expensive ($16-$17 for a standard bowl). read more

came here to try poke for the first time with my man, i loved the spicy ahi tuna bowl! hospitality was great, service was speedy. we will definitely come back. read more

The sushi burritos were delicious! The fish was fresh, and the service was great. You can't go wrong with what you pick. 10/10

Service is amazing. Food was delicious and fresh with a great variety of toppings. Fairly priced for the portions served. Seating available both inside and outside. I would definitely recommend. read more

The wait was long given there was only one small order ahead of me and the staff gave someone else my bowl initially before having to ask for it back. The food is just okay a bit bland and they got my order wrong. The topping portions were small and the pineapple tasted canned and overpowered the taste of everything else. If you want food poke in la there is better and cheaper. read more

the person wrote a really nice message on the bag my order was served in. unfortunately, the reason i am writing this review is because the salmon poke that i ordered and paid 19 dollars for gave me food poisoning and i have since thrown up 5 times. for this reason i would wholeheartedly suggest ordering your poke elsewhere. read more

Friendly people, great service, and amazing food!!!! Taste even better than Lianas famous poke bowls served dress to order

I use to go at Pokeworks in OC, and it was amazing. I tried the LA locations for the third time and it was a disappointment. It is very dirty the place. The server pickup the rice spoon and I was a slime white thing in the spoon and she didn't ever notice. It was gross. I can't imagine how dirty that water and spoon has been. She put that dirty spoon in the rice pan. And served that to my bowl. And the floor was dirty. I COULDN'T eat that. read more

I was at the location sunset blvd in LA, it was a clean environment but the portions were absolutely ridiculous. $20 dollars of salad greens and rice mainly. I got two scoops of protein, I counted 5 pieces of tuna and around 6 of Salmon. Additionally I got half a bite of seaweed salad and 7 edamame beans. I never count food, but this time I couldn't not. I'm not saying fill up the bowl but give it's price worth at least. I have never seen portions this small when it comes to poke. Don't recommend read more
