This is hands down the best poke spot in San Diego. I highly recommend this place and will come back time and time again for their delicious food. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming--they are very friendly. They can help walk you through your order and answer any questions you may have about the products. Their portions are very big. I feel like Poki Bowl is making servings in Chipotle size bowls and they pack everything in there too. Absolute bang for your buck. Support this small business and simultaneously enjoy the best poke you'll get. read more

I've been curious about Poki Bowl and wanted to give them a go, as poke in Mission Valley area is pretty scarce. I popped in and the ladies working that day were very friendly! I got all the good recommendations in terms of what sauces to go for, offering combinations that they liked and I had a great ordering experience. My bowl was a regular bowl, which consists of 3 scoops of regular fish. I was able to go half on the rice and greens, and chose spicy tuna and double the salmon. The staff offered to mix the cucumbers in a spicy mixture before tossing it in, and it provided a lot of flavor. My sauces I chose were the house signature spicy and their wasabi sauce. Their spicy tuna was not at all spicy, but thanks to the sauces on top it mixed very well in the bowl. As poke does add up, this bowl was quite filling given the amount of toppings you're allowed. Their spam musubi are only $1 until 7PM I believe, which is a nice happy hour deal! It is a laid back restaurant and I enjoyed my bowl dining in. I do love a loaded poke bowl with lots of toppings and Poki Bowl is generous when it comes to that! read more

some basics that need to be changed i ordered sushi rice but it was plain white rice the cucumbers need to be pickled or use higher quality ones. a lot of other things were good, but these things killed the bowl. read more

Pretty darn good! Hit the spoke. Got two scoops of ahi tuna and one scoop of spicy tuna. Both were great!

Great and giant bowl! Comes with a good amount of options for protein and toppings! The location is in a nice spot!

We ordered take out for picnic at the park. The price is reasonable for the amount of food we got. We ordered three bowls with salmon, tuna and octopus. I wished they put more sauce on top of it. I couldn't taste spicy mayo. The eel sauce was good. They also had $1 Musubi and $3 boba till 7pm. The Musubi was worth the price. I ordered an iced mocha boba, which was very sweet. The boba texture was mushy, not chewy enough for my taste. There's a parking garage near by so it's not hard to find parking. Overall, it's a good place for poke bowls. read more

I've only been once but I'm secretly obsessed with this place. Got the regular bowl which ended up being ~$20 but it ended up lasting me two meals so I'd say it's a pretty good deal! Their sauces are simple but I prefer it that way as some place's sauce combos can get weird & ruin the dish. The employee working that night was super sweet and pleasant. I took my order to go but the space seemed clean and had indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Thank you Yelp for steering me in the right direction again! The gentleman at the counter was really nice and he made me and my man two humongous supposedly regular sized pokey bowls. All of the toppings were fresh and we left completely full and happy. Bonus for the $5 Thai tea Boba drinks! This is a cute little shop in the Savita neighborhood. Just a couple of tables for outdoor seating. The inside is nice and clean too! read more

It was just ok many other places the tuna taste much fresher I realize it's all frozen until thawed however this tuna lacked taste. Not enough sauce was put on as well. Too bad I just moved near Civita. read more

I usually opt for the real poke of just fish and rice , no extra toppings mounded on but decided to try this place out since it was right near civita park . I went with the small bowl ( 2 scoops of fish $15 + $1 avocado ) after everything my total came out to around $17 due to their discount when you pay cash ! I've read other reviews and will agree the portion size of the fish is a little skimpy and sauce wise lacking a little flavor , other than that they do pile it on and you'll def get full . I did ask for the spicy mayo otw but maybe it's personal preference it was really liquidy . Overall , I'd come back if I'm alrdy in the area but wouldn't go out of my way + would love to try their musubi read more

Had a really unfortunate delivery experience. I ordered a large bowl that came with a really small amount of fish for the price. On top of that, there was something wrong with the cucumbers - they were sharply bitter, almost like nail polish remover. Everything that touched them in the bowl tasted terrible. Definitely not ordering again. read more

Great friendly service, and I'm addicted to these bowls. I always get the salmon and ahi tuna and you get a free add on scoop of crab which Is so good. All the toppings are great and they have a yummy dole whip for dessert! read more

My daughter goes here often, and she took me here for my very first Poké bowl experience. It's basically like a Subway assembly line, where you choose the size, white or brown rice, type of protein, and condiments on top. I'm not big into raw fish, so I chose tofu and shrimp, and a variety of toppings. The worker assembled it with care and efficiency. It was delicious. The place is very clean, with tables both inside and outside. read more

Poki Bowl - A small 2-item bowl with shrimp and tofu - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

First time here. Lucked out on parking. Kinda pricey. I ordered a small and it was $15.95. Topping are good but the onions and chives should be chipped finer. Portions were generous. Service was great. I think he's the owner. My friend also got a narration ice cream and loved it. read more

Located in Civita Park in the Mission Valley area, Poki Bowl made for a solid takeout spot. Parking was super easy, and the staff was really friendly. When I stopped by around dinnertime, the place was surprisingly empty inside, but service was quick. I ordered a small bowl, but let me tell you--it was anything but small. The portion size was generous, which helped justify the $17 price tag, which felt a little high for a casual poke spot. I went with salmon and tuna, plus a mix of toppings. The crispy garlic and onion toppings added great texture, and I really liked the tortilla chips mixed in for some extra crunch. Most importantly, the fish tasted fresh. Overall, a solid poke spot--a little pricey, but they don't skimp on portions. Would come back when I'm craving a filling poke bowl. read more

The pros: * Besides the fish (which they give a pretty typical amount of), they pack on the toppings * Avocado and krab available at no extra charge unlike Poke Chop * Masago available without an extra charge * Stamp card available with a great perk (free bowl after purchase of 5 bowls) The cons: * Sauces/marinades very lacking in flavor * Spicy tuna was not good I really wanted to like Poki Bowl especially because they have a great stamp card system, but I just didn't find my bowl to be flavorful. It was pretty bland even with me choosing the spicy marinade and sauce. Perhaps I need to load up more on sauces next time? When I saw the employee prepare my food and she was pumping the spicy marinade, some of it kind of missed the bowl and ended up on the edge of the rim. Maybe that's why it wasn't flavored well, and maybe I should have said something but I didn't want to be "that" person and I thought she probably knew what she was doing, otherwise she would have just put more in. I would also pass on the spicy tuna here. I might try Poki Bowl again because perhaps something was off this night. I think they may need to revisit their sauces and spicy tuna recipe, because in my opinion these areas could use improvement. read more

Poki Bowl - Large Bowl - 32 oz - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

The gym I frequent often, LA Fitness, is just around the corner from Poki Bowl. Because it was so close I decided to grab a bite here post-workout. My boyfriend and I shared the regular sized bowl which comes with 3 scoops of protein. They have pretty much all the typical toppings of a poke shop and was surprised to see that they also offer boba and spam musubi. The poke itself was ok...I think The Poke Co. in the plaza across the street is much better. Their rice just seemed undercooked. There was a lack of flavor in the spicy tuna which is a bummer because that is my favorite protein to get. I will say I did appreciate how they offered a non-spicy sauce. The establishment felt clean and service was friendly. I will say if I was in a time pinch and needed a healthy meal I would probably come here but my boyfriend and I agreed that this is probably not a place we would particularly want to go to if we had the choice. read more

$17 for a poke bowl with bad fishy smelling salmon. Wow. I won't be returning. Can I please get my money back?

One of the best poke places in the Mission Valley area! The service was quick and the portions are very generous for the price. I got a salmon and tuna poke bowl and it was delicious!! Parking was easy and is located in a nice and quiet area. 10/10 would recommend! :) read more

Got a large poke bowl to share. I'm not too big on poke so just tasted parts of it. I'm not too big on raw fish but like tofu. We didn't order the tofu as a protein as it seems a bit expensive if you just wanted tofu since it's the same price as the fish options. (I wish if you just wanted tofu as a protein that it would be cheaper) But it did taste fresh and was good. Loved the toppings (I did eat most of the toppings) They have a happy hour and the spam musubi looks good and I might try that but I'd be back. Ordering is easy. And service is great. Happy this place opened in civita. Way better than the taquito place. read more

Perfect amount of portions, with lots of options for toppings. The salmon was cut into big chunks that was tender and flavorful. The yellowtail was nice and squishy. Brown rice was cooked perfectly and there was not an overload amount of sauce- it was just right. They also give you chunks of fresh avocado rather than mashed avocado. It's right near Civita park, so it's perfect to eat to-go somewhere at the park! I will definitely be back again :) read more

So excited to have a poke option right down the street from my office. Poki Bowl is located in an apartment complex shopping center. I did not realize until today that there is a parking lot with retail parking spots in case you can't find a spot on the street. They really load the bowls up here. While it's $18 a bowl, that's two full meals worth of food. They have lots of sauce, protein and veggie options to choose from. I will be coming back and bringing coworkers with me. read more

Claims the title of the largest poke bowl in SD thus far... which works for some but I would have liked a more portioned out bowl that I can mix and eat together.

Salmon and Ahi Tuna were of good quality here and its on par with the other Poke places around town (which is solid!) read more

New hot spot in mission valley! Poki bowl is very clean and roomy. Their menu is easy to read. Just like most poki places, you build your own bowl. Starting off with a base, then choice of protein followed by sauce and toppings. One thing this place lacked for me was flavor. They do mix sauce with the poki and add more sauce on top (option), but it wasn't enough for me. I'm a sauce girl. Next time I'll ask for more on top and mixed in with my poki. I will say this is one of the healthiest poki places I've been too in SD. Id definitely come here again. read more

Poki Bowl is one of a handful of new eateries that have opened in the Civita complex of Mission Valley. The shop just had a grand opening a week ago and was located right around the corner from LA Fitness. Nearby parking becomes challenging as the exercise facility draws a lot of patrons. The suite was clean and modern with an oceanic blue color scheme that more than a few competitors have adopted. The inside seating had four tables that could each seat four customers. Three bowl sizes were available... regular (three protein scoops), large (four protein scoops), and kids (no protein scoops). Interestingly, the price for the last choice was still $10.95 which I found to be very expensive for no seafood included. The base had options of white sushi rice, brown rice, mixed greens, or chips. The protein selections were spicy tuna, salmon, ahi tuna, yellow tail, octopus, shrimp, and tofu. One of four sauces could be added... non-spicy, mild, medium, or spicy. Up to a dozen toppings were available as part of the price and then you could finish with a dressing drizzle. The large bowl I selected had a white rice base with salmon, ahi tuna, yellow tail, and shrimp. Non-spicy sauce and most of the toppings were added. I did like that there was no surcharge for an initial scoop of avocado. Miso dressing was the drizzle of choice. The mixture was carefully assembled in the bowl by the worker. The quality of the seafood was good while the raw toppings seemed fresh. Inflation has ballooned the cost of build-your-own poke bowls everywhere so the prices at Poki Bowl were on par with what I have observed around town. read more

Passed by on our daily dog walk and realized today was the grand opening, so we stopped in and ate at one of the two outdoor tables. Won't comment on service since they'll need time to train their staff and get a groove. Fish quality was very high, big chunks highlighting the quality rather than minced, and all ingredients were fresh as can be. The layout and ordering process is pretty standard, pick a size bowl (regular or large), base, protein, sauces, toppings. Avocado is included! The seasoning of the fish is pretty interesting, it's different oils and soy sauce. I liked the clean/simple flavor rather than being coated in overly salty and sweet sauces like other spots. Love that there is a fresh and healthier alternative to the taquitos place that has been the only other restaurant on the street, the only drawback is the price really. $17 for a regular (3 scoops), $18 for the large (4 scoops), it's pretty pricey to have frequently but I believe the cost is commensurate to the quality. read more

This is a convenient location in Civita, right across from the LA Fitness which is great for an after workout meal. The restaurant has some outdoor and indoor seating and everything is clean and new. I was greeted upon entering and there was only one worker there at the time so took a little while since the person ahead of me had never ordered a poke bowl before and needed a lot of guidance. The price point was a little higher than I expected but was very satisfied with the large portions and ability to add many toppings (there is an extra charge for additional scoops). The fish is fresh and the variety of protein and toppings was very good. They did a good job marketing to the LA Fitness crowd by giving a 10% off coupon which I used, and they gave me another one after paying. Perhaps a grand opening sign or something out front might be helpful. read more

Chain poke bowl spot located in Civita park. Parking can be difficult to find right outside, but you can use the deck next to LA Fitness or the park across the street's lot. There is some seating inside and occasionally cafe tables are places outside, but Civita park is only about 150' away and there's plenty of picnic tables. The base bowl options and toppings include typical chain poke options, but the prices are outrageous. Over $25 after tax for a lunch bowl and drink, and that's without tip. The service was quick and I've never seen it crowded, but it's rather small portions compared to other local poke bowls. The food was good enough, but for the price there are many other lunch options and even a cheaper poke bowl spot within a 3 minute drive. read more

Was excited to find out that a poke place recently opened up in Civita Park! Since the grand opening, we've gone a few times and the quality of fish is great and consistent. It's about $17 for a regular bowl, which comes with 3 scoops of protein. The service is always quick and friendly. There's plenty of seating available both inside and out. Additionally, parking is plentiful as there's both street parking and a parking lot dedicated to the growing plaza at the back of the storefronts. I recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

Poki Bowl - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my 3rd time having poke in the last 2 months. I was close to the last place I had it at and because it was so good I was going to go back but decided to try a new place. I got a regular bowl which came with 3 proteins. When I saw the serving of the proteins, I immediately regretted not going to poke chop. The shrimp was cut up into pieces so I asked for 2 shrimp and one tuna. I got 5 small cubes and the cut up shrimp equaled maybe 3 full shrimp. There wasn't much left in the containers, so I wondered if maybe they were closing soon and just didn't want to prep more. But they were open for another 3 and a half hours. It took everything in me not to say "I changed my mind" and leave. As for the taste, it was Meh. Pretty bland for something that had so many fixings in it. It wasn't bad but it was my worst poke experience so far. The inside was clean and spacious with indoor dining. The lady behind the counter was professional and friendly. I unfortunately would not return especially because I know better isn't far away. read more

The process seems simple compared to other poke places. The regular versus large bowl was a bit deceiving as it is the same size bowl. The large has 1 extra scoop of protein. I ordered every ingredient that is included in the large bowl and the only thing I didn't like was the wasabi. It didn't mix well and I got a few wasabi bombs while eating the bowl. I wish it was a sauce. Ingredients are fresh and it's a decent amount of food. Price is very comparable to other poke places We're very pleased that this place opened in Civita. read more

Poki Bowl - 2 large custom poke bowls - Poke Near Me - San Diego, California

Stopped by last night to check this place out. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience. The employee was helpful and friendly, and didn't skimp out on toppings/proteins. That being said, with the utensils she was using, I feel like it was slightly less than some other Poki places. Options were pretty standard all around.I ordered Salmon and Ahi, both were tasty. Standard topping with the option for an extra school for $1.50. The inside was relatively small but they also had two tables outside. The woman helping asked if I had a punch card and provided me with one when I told her I hadn't. With this you get a free regular bowl after your 4th purchase. Total after tip was $21. Given the service, rewards card, and proximity to Civita, I'll definitely be back. read more
