Tropicali is the REAL DEAL. I've had a lot of poke in my life, and after four visits, this is still…read morehands down my favorite poke spot of all time. The fact that it's all the way in Big Bear makes it even more surprising because the fish is always so fresh and the flavors are, of course, amazing. This is genuinely one of the highlights of every trip when I get the chance to come here. I've tried a few of the bowls and they've all been solid, but the Kraken is definitely my go-to. The fish, flavors, and toppings all work so well together. I love everything about this bowl and find myself thinking about it even when I'm nowhere near Big Bear. I'm also glad they were able to move into a bigger location because the old one was much smaller. It can still get PACKED though. On our most recent visit, we came around 3:30 pm on a Monday during the last week of December and waited about 45 minutes to order, then another 20 minutes for our food. They have a self-order kiosk now, which helps keep things moving, but I'd still be prepared for a wait when it's busy. Considering how good the food is, I completely understand why so many people are here. The staff deserves a mention too. They're always so kind, welcoming, and high-energy, which makes the experience even better despite how busy it can get. I seriously love Tropicali. It's wild to me that some of my favorite poke is all the way up in Big Bear, but I always look forward to the next time I can come back. Absolutely worth the wait every time.

The decor is fun for kids, when the line is long, it's a wait since everything ordered is on touch screens. If you're curious about how they compare to poke from Hawaii, they don't even stack up against island poke from the local grocery stores like foodland, Times supermarket or even Safeway.

My phone died before I could take more pics. Its big inside and it was busy. You go to the kiosk on the side outdide of the buffet and reserve a time slot. We chose 7pm as my Midland concert was at 9pm. Its 48$ a person. They say you can get a 10% discount for having the app, but I didn't see it. There are several different stations of made to order food. You go to the station you want and choose an entree and they carve it or make it for you. You choose a side that's already made, then at the end of the line, you pick up your food. They have a prime rib station, chinese noodles station, mexican station, and a seafood station. Too bad today they didn't have the lobster roll. They said their menu changes every 2 weeks or so. They have a beverage station and dessert station that you can grab 5 desserts at a time. If you want crab its an extra 20$ and alcohol is also extra. Overall, its decent. The prime rib was really good to me, but since they didn't have lobster roll today, I was disappointed.

The bar-top seating lets you watch the chefs prepare everything right in front of you. The menu features flavorful seafood soups, crab legs, sushi, and some seriously delicious bread and butter. Hats off to our chef, Isaac, who prepared our dishes perfectly! The gumbo was incredible. Honestly, I don't think I can go back to ordering gumbo from places like The Boiling Crab--Pescato tops it in every way. We also tried the Parihuela, made with Maine lobster, market fish, littleneck clams, shrimp, green-lipped mussels, roasted corn, diced potatoes, and aji Peruvian broth. I couldn't decide which dish was better--the fish and seafood were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. If you have the time, definitely stop by Pescato for some delicious seafood. You won't regret it! We'll definitely be back for more!

The workers were nice and really loaded up our bowls. The place was also clean and chill. My friend got half hula and jasmine rice with salmon, tuna, alohot and lava sauce. I got half hula and bootea rice with salmon, tuna, OG and alohot sauce, with wasababy on the side. The portions were super generous! The rice was definitely the highlight. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fish was just okay, not the freshest and cut way too big. The OG sauce was a little grainy and the alohot was disappointing. I didn't get much zesty or yuzu flavor and it was a little bitter. My friend's sauce combo was better but definitely spicier. Overall, a little disappointing but I'd come back to try a different sauce combo!

Especially at a poke place where all the ingredients are out for you to choose from, I really appreciate when everything looks fresh, appetizing, and well kept, and it definitely did here. I ordered a one-item poke bowl and it was SO good. Everything tasted fresh and yummy, and I love that you can mix and match so many different ingredients and really make your bowl exactly how you like it. Price-wise, it feels like you're basically getting a sushi roll, just in a bowl with way more customization. I also haven't sat down and had lunch by myself in a long time, and it was actually really nice. The vibe was chill, the restaurant was clean and quiet, and the service was friendly and quick. Today was a good day for some quiet, and this was the perfect little solo lunch spot. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're craving fresh poke, and maybe a little peace and quiet too.
