Poki Bomb is such an underrated spot. I visited for lunch on a weekday and the experience was great! The two scoops option is more than plenty and there are so many different fish option. I got the shoyu salmon and hawaiian tuna and they were both so fresh and delicious! They also have many yummy sauces and toppings to select from, no limits. Service was great and the restaurant was clean with plenty of indoor seatings. Parking is easy as its located inside a plaza thats not very busy. Will definitely come back to PokiBomb! read more

Poki Bomb - Two scoop poke bowl - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

I've been coming to Poki Bomb for a while now, and it's consistently been one of my go-to poke spots. The restaurant is usually very clean, the staff is always kind and welcoming, and they always have great music playing, which makes the experience even better. This visit was a little disappointing, though. The fish portions were noticeably smaller than usual, and it felt like they were skimping compared to past visits. One of the reasons I love this place is because they've always been generous with their portions, so it was definitely something I noticed. Overall, I'd still give them 3.5-4 stars because the food is fresh, the restaurant is well maintained, the music is always on point, and the service is friendly. I'm hoping this was just an off day and that they'll go back to the generous portions that made them stand out in the first place. read more

I went on a Friday afternoon around 5 p.m. There was nobody inside. The place looked bigger than it seemed on the outside. Quite clean. There's plenty of seating, and there's also plenty of parking. I could hear some K-pop music playing in the background. Not bothered by it, but just an interesting choice. As for the food setup, you self-serve your own water, there are napkins available, and if you need soy sauce or hot sauce, you need to ask. They give you a tray, and after you're done, you throw away your own food and clean up after yourself. I got a small bowl, and it includes two scoops of fish. I got the Spicy Hawaiian Tuna and the Salmon Shoyu. I also got the regular crab salad, which is non-spicy. For the vegetables, I got edamame, seaweed salad, cucumber, carrots, ginger, and corn. For my base, I got half brown rice and half salad. For the sauce, I got the recommended sauce, which was the non-spicy house sauce with eel sauce and Japanese spicy mayo. For toppings, I got furikake and crispy onions. They were very generous with the portions. I asked for a little extra seaweed salad, and they were okay with giving it, so that was nice. At first glance, there's a lot of food, and I feel like their small is comparable to other places' medium size. So if you're not that hungry, I would go with the small. There's plenty of food there. As for the taste of the food, I would rate it a 3 out of 5 because the Salmon Shoyu really wasn't anything special. Yes, there's a soy sauce kind of base in there, but it didn't really enhance the flavor of the salmon. It kind of just tried to mask the fishy flavor or mask the not-as-fresh taste of the fish. Same thing with the Spicy Hawaiian Tuna. The seasoning was a little better, but overall, I don't think the fish itself was very fresh because after I finished eating, I took a sip of water and felt kind of grossed out because my whole mouth tasted very, very fishy. That kind of tells me the fish was not very fresh. I had ginger as one of my toppings, so I was having ginger every other bite with it, and I feel like that kind of masked the fishy smell. That's kind of unfortunate because the fish should be fresh, and I shouldn't need anything to mask the fresh flavor. Honestly, if you're not picky, then yes, this will keep you full, but the quality of the fish is pretty important when it comes to poke. Another thing is while we were eating, they were cleaning the floors, and there was a really strong chemical smell that was pretty off-putting while I was eating. They came pretty close to our sitting area. I would say less than 10 feet from where we were sitting, and they were mopping the floors. The place is very, very clean, but even though there weren't a lot of people besides us and one other party, I don't feel like they should be mopping the floors while customers are sitting there eating. That kind of made the place smell pretty sterile and not great, especially while dining in. All in all, it was an okay experience. read more

I occasionally order from here, and it's always been pretty good. I think they increased the portions since the last time I came. They changed a two-scoop fish bowl into a full box which was pretty large. I loaded up on every topping, and they were quite generous with the portions. For the price, both the quality and quantity exceeded my expectations. Overall, it's a great spot to grab poke. read more

Came to this poke spot on a Saturday right when they opened, and I'm so glad we did because we beat the crowd. There was only one guy working behind the counter, but he handled everything really well and got everyone served quickly. The ingredients here are super fresh, and the fish quality is definitely some of the best I've had. The portions are huge, seriously such a great bang for your buck. You definitely get your money's worth. The place itself is very clean and quiet, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a great quality poke spot and absolutely worth checking out if you're in the area. Would definitely come back! read more

My favorite poke place in the 626 area, it's not traditional poke obviously but it's good quality, so many toppings to choose from, fairly priced and portions are extremely generous! So yummy. Ingredients are fresh. I love to get masago and edamame and lotssss of sauce. Also their gyoza is BOMBB, so underrated. I don't know if it's frozen or if they make it themselves but it's one of the best gyozas I've ever had. Also love the free miso soup offer on Postmates (however I found the miso soup to be a little too salty, it's free though so whatever lol). read more

Love how generous the portions are and how affordable this poke spot is! Don't underestimate the small size ($13.95) since it comes with 2 scoops of protein (10 different kinds) and unlimited sauces and toppings. Medium size comes with 3 scoops of protein and is only $15.95 and Large size comes with 4 scoops of protein and is $17.95! Ordering is easy. There are 4 stations. - 1st station: pick a bowl size and a base (white/brown rice, salad, or half/half) - 2nd station: pick your protein - 3rd station: pick your sauces (8 options) - 4th station: pick your toppings (10+ options) Service was ok and fast! Really enjoyed how fresh the salmon was (I got 2 scoops of it!) and how much salmon they gave me! The salad was very fresh and the brown rice was delicious! read more

Poki Bomb - Poki Bowl with 2 Scoops Protein - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

I think my friends are the best influencers for myself personally, because the moment I hear someone I know rave about something I make it my mission to try. This time that mission was for Poki Bomb which my husband helped me accomplish, so I didn't actually get to step foot inside myself. He ordered one large bowl for us to share and we enjoyed it at home. First impression, this thing is loaded! He said they added the 4 scoops of fish that come with the large and surprised him when they still added a little more after. Of course being a sushi lover I've most definitely had high quality salmon (which is what I got), but for the price and the amount you get here, I do still highly recommend this spot right alongside my friend! The only thing I can complain about is that the box it comes in is SO packed with ingredients at the end that it's difficult to mix everything together (yes I love to mix my bowls, that's the only way to do it). read more

I come here for lunch pretty often and the food is always fresh. Staff is helpful and friendly. The only downside is the price but I understand everything is expensive nowadays. But a solid place for poke. read more

Poki Bomb - Poke bowl 3 scoops - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

Large portions of fish and toppings! I was in the area and scrolling on Yelp when I stumbled on Poki Bomb. It's located off the 10 Fwy on Flair Dr next to the Tofu Cafe. Parking was easy to find! They have a few spot right in front of their storefront and it wasn't hard to find parking since I did come an hour before closing. Walking in, you're greeted with the menu options and prices displayed on the TV right above the counter. Everything is customizable when it comes to your base, fish, toppings, and sauces. I purchased a small (2 scoops of protein), brown rice, regular imitation crab meat, eel sauce and non spicy house sauce. They have a wide range of toppings available and everything tasted very fresh. I hate the fishy taste in poke but this place didn't have that at all. There's a fair amount of fish and the toppings you add can help make you more full! The total for my entire meal was $~17 which is not too bad considering the sizes. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Poki Bomb - Poki Bowl - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

If you're craving poke, this is the place to be. We have been coming to this restaurant over the past few years and I would say this is our go to poke place. Located in a plaza next to a bunch of corporate buildings may make it a little harder to get to, but once you get there, it is well worth it. There is also plenty of parking within the plaza. We usually get the poke bowl with three scoops of protein. In the past, these poke bowls were prepared in a plastic bowl with all of the ingredients packed together. There was nothing wrong with that, as they were always very generous with their portions. However, I noticed that they now prepare their poke bowls in a box. I'm sure the portions are still the same, but since it's in a box now, it looks like there is a bit more. For my three scoop protein, I got two scoops of salmon and one scoop of spicy tuna with white rice. You can select up to eight sauces and 17 toppings. . For a sauces, I got ponzu, eel, spicy, spicy mayo, sesame mayo, and sesame oil. For toppings, I got cucumber, edamame, imitation crap, seaweed salad, green onions, corn, fried onions, wasabi, jalapeño, shishimi (Japanese chili spice), sesame seed, and furikake (seaweed flakes). My wife got two scoops of salmon and one scoop of spicy Hawaiian tuna with brown rice. The spicy Hawaiian tuna had extra flavor and was very delicious, as it reminded me of the poke from Foodlands in Hawaii. For sauces, my wife got ponzu, eel, as spicy mayo. For toppings, she got cucumber, edamame, imitation crab, ginger, seaweed salad, corn, wasabi, masago (fish eggs), and furikake. As you can tell from both of our orders, you have a lot of options to customize your bowl to your liking. We both enjoyed our bowls very much and we would definitely return! read more

Date of Visit: January 15, 2025 Selections: Poki Bowl with 3 Scoops Protein Can of Thai Tea Experience: I have been here before, but a long time ago, so I was glad it was still here since the food options were slim after walking through the small plaza. I came in before the food rush, so I didn't have much time to mentally prepare myself to order cause poki places usually have so many options to pick from and I get overwhelmed. The staff member helping me seemed like he was in a rush to get through my order, but slowed down his pace once he realized I needed to process my options. I ended up doing a medium size poki bowl, which comes with three scoops of protein with half/half of brown rice and salad. I really did wish that they had more spicy options for protein, but ended up getting the salmon, shrimp, and shoyu salmon. The toppings were pretty slim to pick from too, but I ended up asking for spicy mayo, spicy imitation crab, edamame, green onions, pickled radish, ginger, tempura pieces, and fried onion pieces. Then I grabbed a can of Thai tea from their fridge. The food was good and I kind of wished I did two proteins instead since it was a lot of food. I definitely would choose to stick to just rice since I wasn't a big fan of the mixed greens for the salad part and would also ask for more sauce as well. read more

Came here on my lunch break to have a poki bomb. I was reluctant to have raw fish so I ordered the cooked salmon bowl. I had to wait a bit longer for that but it was well worth it.

Fresh fish, a variety of toppings, generous portions, and easy parking. I like both the spicy house sauce and yuzu ponzu. Location is right off the freeway just behind the Starbucks. Clean and casual restaurant with soft rock/contemporary/hiphop music playing in the background with plentiful seating. They get busy on weekdays, lunch hour because of the business offices in the area. Customer service has been consistent. They also have Thai tea and now open 7 days a week. A big win! read more

My favorite local spot to get poke! I always order from here during lunch and it hits the spot every time. The fish is always fresh and they give such a good balance of base, fish, sides, and toppings. Recently, they changed their takeout containers and I am a fan because the portions are larger. It is also more spread out and is enjoyable since you don't have to dig through a tiny bowl to get a bite of what you are looking for. read more

Poki Bomb - Poki Bowl with 3 Scoops Protein - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

I was craving poke and saw this place was at the same center when picking up a package from FedEx so I decided to give it a try. I ordered online through the Yelp app and it took 22 min until I saw that it was ready for pick up. Staff member greeted me and everything was packed up on the counter. Napkins, and a plastic spoon and fork was included. I ordered the Poki bowl with 2 scoops protein (shoyu salmon, spicy hawaiian tuna). The spicy Hawaiian tuna had a soy sauce base and an added spiciness otherwise it tasted identical to the salmon. Everything was tasty and seasoned perfectly. Upon first impression after opening my package I immediately thought there wasn't alot of tuna/salmon and the space was mostly taken by the edamame. I didn't feel that this was worth the $15. However I do understand why they have a 3 to 4 scoop protein option now. read more

I drove out of my way to try the Hawaiian spicy Tuna because it's very rare from what I have seen to have this on the menu. And I must say I wasn't disappointed. This poke is so good and flavorful. Very fresh. Huge portion. I paid extra for avocado like everywhere and I swear they gave me half the avocado. Not the thin slices you get everywhere else. The restaurant is clean and smells good. The gentleman helping me was super nice and helpful. Lots of parking available. They also have pickled radishes yummy!! I will most definitely be back to get my poke fix! All around 5+ stars! read more

This is the perfect place to satisfy your poke craving. As a certified poke lover, I was excited to hear that there was a good spot near my house. I had to go check it out for myself and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The portion size was good (they gave heaping scoops of protein), the price was affordable, and the fish was fresh. That pretty much checked all the boxes on my list. - - Size: 3 scoops - - Base: white rice - - Protein: 2 scoops of salmon, 1 scoop of spicy tuna - - Sauce: Spicy Mayo - - Toppings: cucumber, imitation crab, masago, fried onion, furikake Service was quick and the staff were friendly. The store was clean and there were a lot of seats to enjoy your poke at. Parking was fast and easy to find so no need to worry about that.

Poki Bomb - Poki Bowl with 3 Scoops Protein - Japanese Near Me - El Monte, California

I tried Poki Bomb a few times before and gave it another try on a Friday around 5 PM. For parking, there were plenty of spots available in the shared parking lot. Right when I walked through the door, the staff was very friendly. He was very quick with scooping between each section. There was also a handful of scoops where I asked for "slight" and I appreciated that he asked if the amount he added was sufficient each time. I brought my order home to eat and the quality still tasted good. Every ingredient was still fresh. The only thing I didn't like was regarding the container. I preferred when they used the plastic one in the past. read more

The food never disappoints! I've tried a few spots and this one is by far my favorite. Every topping I get in my bowl just blends so well with each other. Also, I'm very sensitive to the fishy taste. If what I'm eating is way too fishy then I'm turned off to the entire meal. I did not find the spicy tuna from here to be fishy in the slightest. The miso soup is pretty good too. Will keep coming back. read more

I was greeted right away when I walked in which is always nice. The staff was super friendly and they were helpful with helping me decide from the options available. My food looked really good I should've taken a picture of it but I was so hungry and it looks so good I forgot about the picture lol I do recommend stopping by it's conveniently located off the freeway you could also hop right back onto the freeway it should be a short stop. Maybe try to order ahead of time though because it isn't a busy business area, huge parking lot. But it's a bomb spot so they'll probably get busy fast. It was a good size restaurant, several places to sit. read more

One of the best poke deals I've been encountered in the San Gabriel Valley. Very few poke spots are in the SGV, but right off the side of the 10 freeway on Flair Dr, is a spot that not only is a bang for your book, but give you a really decent portion. I got the Half salad. Half. Rice with four protein options and a drink. At 25 bucks. Service is friendly and patient. More than enough parking. And plenty of space inside. For my fish options I chose the ground spicy tuna, Hawaiian tuna, seared albacore, and salmon. Added sesame oil, their house chili sauce, and Ponzu, and just went ham with the toppings. I had just came from a full-blown swimming sesh and was insanely hungry. Not only does this box. Fill you up especially for a guy My size at 6 foot 230 pounds. This box can easily be saved and meal prepped if you wanted to. I will definitely be coming here again. I'll upload pictures next time because I was starving so I killed everything in that box. read more
