My eldest daughter wanted poke bowl for dinner. We haven't had poke in a while. It was our chance to find a new spot. I was in Arcadia and found Po'ki Bar on Yelp. I got lucky to catch them 30 minutes before they closed at 8:00 PM. Pretty clean place with bar stool seating along the left wall. All gender restroom is in the back. Build your own poke bowl. Small (2 scoops), medium (3 scoops), and large (5 scoops) sizes ranging from $16+, $18+, 20+ per bowl, respectively. Protein consists of salmon, tuna, albacore, octopus, scallops, shrimp, tofu, etc. Toppings vary from edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic, and shallots. Base comes in white sushi rice, organic brown rice, salad, or half & half. Got two large poke bowls with salmon and all the toppings. Avocados cost extra. Love the big chunks of fresh salmon! Scoops could be a tad larger. Please note extra toppings will cost extra money. Each bowl comes with a max of 3 sauces... got Dynamite, Spicy Garlic, and Sweet Unagi. They were very flavorful sauces especially when combined together. I would get a large poke bowl with all 3 of the same sauces again. Lady staff members were friendly and nice. Prices was on the higher end compared to other poke places. Nevertheless, tasty, fresh and healthy poke bowl is a win win win in my book. Po'ki Bar delivered. Highly recommend!! Btw, Po'ki Bar biz sign is not lit at night. Look for the OPEN sign that is lit. read more

I've been coming to Poki Bar for a few years now and have always had a pleasant experience. Whether ordering online or in person, the staff has always been very helpful and attentive, even during rushes. Their topping selection has a good variety, with all your standard poke toppings. I can't complain! The sauce selection is also pretty standard, my usuals being their house shoyu and sesame. A while ago, they had a citrus sauce, but sadly discontinued it. I'm hoping one day they bring it back because it was my favorite! Although the quality of their poke has been consistent through all the years, their prices have gone up significantly compared to other poke places in the area. A small bowl runs you about $18 - $20 now, depending on if you pay for the extra avocado. Their poke is still delicious, but Poki Bar has been out of the rotation for me due to the increase in price compared to the average poke shops nearby. read more

Poki Bar - Arcadia - Small Bowl (2 Scoops) to go! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Decided to give this place a second try after a year of hiatus, but sadly no improvement Fish was flavorless, didn't add enough sauce. Prices are high for what it is. There's nothing special about this place, just your typical run of the mill pick your topping-like poke bowl place. Like a NPC in a video game, there's nothing memorable about here read more

Ordered two medium bowls, one with spicy tuna and salmon and one with albacore and scallops. Of the proteins, I would skip the scallop and salmon was the clear winner. Scoops are a smidge small compared to the base but the unlimited toppings help balance it out. The toppings were all fresh - especially loved the edamame, cucumber, fried garlic and shallots, seaweed salad and crab meat. Sauces sort of blend together if I remember right, you can only choose 2 and I did wish there was a bit more sauce. Dynamite and ponzu wasabi are my top picks. read more

We enjoyed our poke bowls, my favorite was the salmon. I ordered a small with salad. I like their sweet unagi sauce with sesame & shoyu. I love all the unlimited add-ons like edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic & shallots. You get 1 free scoop of masago & krabmeat. It's a lot of food for a small bowl. Or you can pay an extra $2 for medium bowl & get 3 scoops of protein instead of 2. They have a few tables & chairs for dine-in or you can get it to-go. read more

Poki Bar - Arcadia - Small Bowl (2 Scoops) with salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Way to feel unwelcomed. I originally wanted to try the noodle restaurant next door but they hadn't opened yet so I decided to give Poki Bar a try. Also, they didn't have any customers so I thought I'd support their business. On my way in, I saw a promotion on the window for 20% online pick-up orders. I began browsing their menu on my phone to place an order and one of their employees tried to kick me out for looking at my phone in front of their restaurant. Like seriously, there was no one else there, why so rude? Instead of asking me if I needed any help ordering, they tried to ask me to leave. Since I was already there, I placed an order anyway. The food was mediocre, flavorless and portions were small. Scallop tastes like it was sitting around and was warm. I won't be coming back nor recommending this place to anyone. read more

Poki Bar - Arcadia - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Been here since high school and honestly, I appreciate the little perks -- like the free imitation crab meat and seaweed salad -- but overall, the value just isn't there. A medium bowl runs about $18, and the portion size doesn't really feel proportionate to the price. The food itself is decent -- fresh enough and customizable with plenty of toppings -- but nothing about it stood out as exceptional. For what you pay, I was expecting either bigger portions or higher quality. Service was fine and the space is clean, but given the steep pricing, it's hard to justify coming here often when there are other poke options around... read more

I'm glad to have Poki Bar Arcadia in my neighborhood. It's my go-to when I need a quick lunch without burning through my entire lunch hour. The speed here is unmatched. I order it on Uber Eats to use up my gift card credits. The take out is always waiting for me by the time I arrive 5 minutes later. No stress about getting back to work late. The sashimi isn't the freshest I've ever had. But I can't really complain. They're generous with portions and toppings, which makes up for it. When it comes to poke bowls, I've learned less is more. I stick to one sauce. It's either soy or sesame oil for me. They offer tons of toppings and I take advantage of all the free options, but I don't mix everything together. I eat from corner to corner, tasting each element, otherwise, it's a bit too rich for me. And always pick the sushi rice. Yum! Would I drive across town for this place? Probably not. But for a convenient neighborhood spot that gets me fed fast? It does the job perfectly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I love how bomb my poke bowl came out. I was helped by Sarah who was super friendly and patient. She walked me through everything and helped me get my bowl to perfection. Thank you so much! Also, the inside is really clean and music wasn't extra loud. Made everything better. read more

Just ok. Negatives: -The rice was hard. Pieces of fish are kind of big and I'd prefer smaller pieces to soak up the sauce. Ratio of fish to rice wasn't great. Sides were ok. Probably wouldn't come back :( read more

Sad this used to be my favorite spot when I was in highschool and I just moved back to the area. Size wise is awful smallest bowl I've seen for poke and came out to $18.22 not worth I've had huge platters large size for that price lol. Fish quality isn't there anymore doesn't seem fresh. read more

What's up: Had a craving for poke and did a search nearby to see what was around. Parking: Located at Arcadia Hub Shopping Center, parking is plentiful along the shared businesses. Environment: Limited outdoor seating is available. Since I placed an online order ahead of time, I was able to grab and go. There was one staff member working the counter. The place is clean and simple and the menu is displayed on the right wall. What was ordered: - Nari Bu: Dynamite Salmon w/Furikake, Spicy Garlic Shrimp w/ Green Onions, Garlic Spicy Tuna w/ Unagi Sauce, Spicy Garlic Tofu w/ Red Onions (yummy and unique but the tofu was a bit bland) - CaLee Bowl (California roll in a bowl. Mix it up for to make it yummy and creamy) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Food was good and ready when I arrived. The Nari Bu was interesting and unique. And I was pleasantly surprised by the CaLee Bowl. Overall, things were good. Credit cards and ApplePay are accepted. read more

Update:Owner reached out and helped get all things situated next day. Thank you again for the quick assistance! I recently ordered 2 bowls from here through Uber Eats, right away the second bowl I noticed was missing. Talked to the delivery man and he said that was all the lady handed him. I tried calling the place to see if my other bowl was there so I can go pick it up but not only do they not pick up it also got forwarded saying no voicemail was setup. When calling the other location (Duarte) who is near to see if there is a number to reach since they are connected they picked up said hello then left the phone and didn't say a word after still clearly on the line . Soon after I called back and they stopped answering and started forwarding my calls with no voicemail setup. They are still open with a hour left. Poor service read more

Mediocre food. Service isn't friendly. Asked for a cup of water but could not provide and asked us to buy a bottle. Asked for an empty bowl as to share the food but was only able to give the smallest bowl. Charged $3+ when asking for a half scoop of extra seaweed (I understand the extra charge for extra food, but $3+ for half scoop?!). Very stingy... no wonder lunch hour there was no one at this restaurant. Wont return. read more

I've been coming here regularly since 2016 and am disappointed in the steep price increase and shrinkflation in portion size over the years. The poke here is delicious but $40 for 2 small bowls is not worth my money anymore. read more

This was honestly the worst poke experience I've ever had. The portions were small, the fish didn't taste fresh, and the dry toppings were stale instead of crunchy. On top of that, they don't provide free water--which should be a basic courtesy and part of the cost of doing business. This is the first poke place I've ever been to that refuses to give water, and it really left a bad impression. read more

I knew there was a problem when the store was empty during lunch rush hour. The salmon and scallops were fishy and turned. I explained the food smelled weird but apparently, it is supposed to smell "oceany." Run. Do not patronize this place. read more

this place gave me really bad food poisoning. I was down for 2.5 days there needs to be a better quality check with leaving out fish for a certain time. read more

The only thing that wowed me was the portion size and not in a good way. The medium size which is 3 scoops is pretty much the same size as my palm and I don't have big hands by any means. The beef bowl was even smaller! Lol so if you're a hungry person, this is not the spot for you. I've had better tasting poke for better price and bigger portions. I added shrimps for one of the scoops and I think they put like a handful of miniature pieces. They were tiny!!! I think these portions are made for people on a diet. I am far from being on a diet so it's a no from me. read more

Decided to come and give the place another try since it's closer to home and I didn't feel like driving to my usual spot. The server was very rude had a stink eye the entire time, would roll her eyes at me every few seconds, throw the bowl onto the tray and the scooper back in with force. Not even gentle toss. The scoops she did were tiny also she did it with so much force almost all the protein falls out. I asked her why the attitude she said she always has this attitude. I decided to just walk out, not worth spending the money at a place that gives you that much attitude read more

I love it when my BF finishes the gym at the same plaza and brings poke home for dinner. He also brought the 4 piece of inari sushi. The Large Poke 5 Scoops comes with plenty of fresh fish. It's big enough for both of us to share. Although the inari sushi was good, it was a little too sweet and the rice was a little too wet for my liking. If we get it again, I probably would tell them to go easy on the sauce. read more

I stopped in to grab lunch while waiting for my tea order next door. (This was like an answered prayer - I was starving and really hoping I could find a poke place near the tea place, and there it was!) The staff person seemed to be working alone and had to serve three people in front of me by herself, but she was very courteous and assured me she would be right with me. I got the small (2 protein scoops) bowl, which was a little more expensive at $15 and change. I chose one of their 10 recommended sauce combos, sesame + sweet unagi, and it was really good. Definitely recommend that. The whole thing was very fresh and tasty. Btw it's a small place, so I wouldn't go with a large group if you plan to sit there. They have maybe a few small tables inside and two tiny tables outside. read more

I've been here 10+ times now and not a single time was I treated rudely. Staff greets me when I walk in the door, patient and are very open to specific requests. I come here specifically for the quality and size of fish. The salmon, some of the best poke sizes and quality around. The toppings, less choices than other places, are still plentiful. Sauces, amazing, plenty of variety. I will say the price is on the slightly high side/comparable to other places. But this is my go to spot for poke. read more

I got two medium 3 scoops for 39 dollars and the portions are sad and the quality of the protein and sides are just not up to par to other places. Try poke salad bar in pasadena and compare the quality and quantity to this place read more

i used to go to poke bar a lot more, but there has been a significant drop in fish quality. the albacore tasted really fishy and i ended up not eating it. the salmon was better but still a little fishy and for a $20 medium bowl, the quality should definitely be better. read more

Poke bar is where you go if you want to lose weight and you have cash to splash. Irrespective of their "healthier food choices" their portion sizes are tiny. Good way to eat and not be full. ‍ read more

This is my favorite poke place in the area! I was recently looking for a new poke place since I just moved and was recommended this place! I don't regret it at all!! Prices are fair and you can online order for fast service! I online ordered and once I got there everything was ready! I especially like their sauces combinations. I got the dynamite and sweet unagi and it was great! Fish was fresh too! Will be back for sure! Highly recommend!! read more

The portions were generous and the toppings and sauces were plenty. Sauces were yummy. It's in a plaza so they have abundant parking. The only issue is the strong fishy smell inside. And the tuna was a weird darker red color, I almost didn't eat it. But it's the next day now and I'm not sick from the food so I guess it was fresh! read more

Great poke joint. They have lots of options (even octopus!) and everything taste fresh. Price is still affordable. They have gone up over the years but still competitive. Generous serving. Place is so clean and organized. Everything is labeled and makes ordering very easy. They don't have seats inside now, but they have a couple of tables available outside. They do put them away by 7.30pm fyi (close at 8pm). read more

I have been getting poke bowl in this location since a while back. However, I am a bit disappointed. I got a small bowl (2 scoops of protein) with vegetable base. The bowl was only half full. It was gone after a few bites. Also, the server added a lot of sauce in my bowl. With a little ingredients and lots of sauce, my bowel was super salty. I have been getting a small bowl, and portion was way bigger than the one I got tonight. I had to look for something else to eat after I finish my bowl. The bowl is not cheap. It was $12.99 plus 10% sales tax. Will consider if I should continue to come back. read more

Haven't been here since pre-Covid, unbelievably! Then realized I never reviewed this place either, ha ha... Still very much the same as I recall, with the only difference of small tables and Lei decorations around the counter, so it naturally creates a barrier to prevent people from leaning too close - clever! The staff now wear bright Hawaiian shirts! Nice! Prices have gone up of course, but not a surprise, nor is it unreasonable - I ordered the 2 scoops ($13.99), and added avocado in addition to the many different sauces & toppings, so that was plenty. LOVED the choices, and flavors are all good! The fish was fresh and portions were fairly generous. I also liked that they had spicy crab meat as a topping - very yummy! Not a place for a large crowd, but definitely a good location for takeout. I wasn't sure how the pandemic affected them, but am happy they are still here! Glad I stopped by again - it's been too long! read more

My friend and I were craving poke and found this place in the area. The place is pretty small, but it looked clean! The girl who served us was very kind, and I loved her attitude! We each ordered a small bowl, which was $12.99 each (plus tax). So it came out to about $30, and it came with two scoops of protein. I thought that was pretty reasonable, given the amount of stuff in the bowl! I got brown rice as my base and salmon and tuna for my choice of protein. Next, I went with their no.1 combination of dynamite and eel sauce and the house sauce. After that, I got edamame, corn, seaweed salad, crab meat, cucumbers, green onions and topped it off with sesame seeds for my toppings. I thought that the bowl was delightful! There was a good amount of protein in my bowl. The tuna was chewy, and the salmon was tasty! The dynamite sauce gave a nice mild kick to my tastebuds, and I loved how the sweet eel sauce balanced it out. I also got the eel sauce on my rice, and I loved it! The condiments tasted fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the corn and the seaweed salad the most. Overall, a solid bowl! I thought that the crab meat had an incredibly mushy consistency to it. I was looking forward to the crab meat because I love it, which was a bit disappointing. I also wish less sauce was used, but I didn't mind that much because it was still pretty tasty. In the end, I still enjoyed and loved my bowl! I will definitely come back again when I'm in the area and craving poke. read more

I usually love this spot but yesterday was a little disappointing. I ordered a medium bowl and with tax and everything it came out to almost $18. I was super excited to eat it, but the first bite of cold rice was not it. I felt like I was eating days old rice. While the rice wasn't the freshest, you can always count on their fish to be fresh and delicious! read more

Oof, maybe this is the first poke place I would have to get less than 3 stars to. In terms of yelp, this place could have been better, but in my head it's mediocre. For a medium and 3 scoops, it was not a lot of food. The sauces were also pretty ok and the quality of the fish was below mid. It might have been because I got it to-go, but I don't think so. Anyway, my order was, spring salad + salmon, albacore, tuna + dynamite, sweet unagi. Not sure where the high rating came from though. Please do let me know and I might give this place another try. Seaweed salad was good. read more

Ordered this for delivery and it arrived at the time expected. Understandably, the location is far from the water where normally you'd get super fresh fish options, however, the fish and toppings and ingredients were fairly fresh-tasting. I ordered the small poke bowl with tuna and salmon. The portion felt small. You do get as many toppings from the list that's free as you want though. The Gyudon Beef Bowl was decent too. Flavors were good. Portion was ok if you're not very hungry but for a grown man this was not as filling. read more

So I didn't get the invite after my RSVP for the YEE here. No worries, dear Yelp reader-- I only hope that this restaurant got lots of brand new customers to come and enjoy their delicious fare. As for me, Poke Bar is on my rotation for different Poke places. As a younger man, I spent a few summers working on fishing boats, so I'm something of a snob about seafood in general, particularly with regards to freshness. Poke Bar seems to share this ideal, as their food is impeccably fresh and delicious every time I visit. I'm something of a creature of habit when it comes to sides, but I do rotate through the different fish: generally, I order a medium with either salmon, yellowtail, tuna or albacore... and load it up with seaweed, masago, furikake, sesame seeds, and chili (I am El Gigante Picante, after all, Ichiban...) Glad that this place stuck around through the Great Panini, and hope they stay here in this big shopping center for a long time. YEE selection committee... maybe I'll catch you on the next one? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

I started getting hungry as I was waiting for someone to finish shopping at Burlington Coat Factory. I decided to walk around, and found this Poke Bar. I read a review stating that there was a Yelp event here. I am sad that I missed out on the event, but I am happy that I was able to try this Poke Bar. I thoroughly enjoyed all the selections that were available. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Next time I come here, I'll order extra scoops of fish and protein. read more
