This is their large size, next time I'll ask for the regular size.
Alan B.

My poke bowl was good, fast, generously sized, and only $20. Poking Poki is located in a small strip mall across from Carlsbad State Beach. There are a few tables inside, but the space is fairly austere. My guess is they do a lot of takeout. I tend to gravitate toward poke since I can choose my own ingredients, and I'm a big fan of salmon sashimi. Poking Poki did a nice job building my custom bowl, though I would have liked more sauce options, especially non-spicy choices. That said, I'd happily order another bowl here, even if they serve them in square containers. Maybe they should call them "poke squares"? Tip: The large bowl is truly large. You may want to consider ordering the regular size.

Poke Bowl

This Poke place is located in the heart of Carlsbad Village and was the perfect snack for me and my family after an afternoon strolling and shopping through the Village. It'd call it the Chipotle of Poke, where you can pick your protein(s) and toppings. Everything was so fresh and filling. The spicy tuna and ahi tuna were incredible, and we had it over a bed of lettuce as well as the chips. We had it with the spicy mayo and soy sauce. I highly recommend this poke place because the food was great, quick service and very generous portion for the price!

Young Lady who deserves 5/5 stars for great service!

Amazing experience! I was served by a young lady who did a great job making our poke bowl. The ingredients were very fresh and restaurant was very clean inside. I thoroughly enjoy Poki Poki. I like the container it's in, it makes it a lot easier to eat rather than a usual to go cylinder container where everything is packed in. The miso dressing is also very delicious!!! I am happy to spend $20 on a large bowl here. Definitely worth it! Thank you for a great experience!

I had a good experience today at poki poki. We stopped for boba and it was decent. Eli helped us he was and if ! The restaurant had a distinct smell that needs to be fixed.

Randomly stumbled upon Poki Poki as my family and I were wandering about the Carlsbad Beach and decided to grab some lunch-- let me tell ya about it ! Parking is shared between a few other businesses, but it seems cars come and go quite quickly here . Upon entering, the restaurant looked clean and had plenty of tables to chose from . The employee working was very welcoming and greeted us . He told us a bit about their offerings and how they are a "build-your-own" type of poke place ! I opted for a regular sized bowl-- and I was quite shocked when he pulled out an actual large to-go box lol ! (I was totally expecting a "bowl" like most poke places). Pros: *GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE *HUGE PORTIONS *LOTS OF TOPPINGS *BOBA Cons: *NOT FIRST-CATCH-OF-THE-DAY FRESH Overall, I was hoping for a more refreshing experience from a poke place by the beach. I do appreciate the generous portions and variety of toppings, but like my mom taught me ... quality over quantity . I always give benefit of the doubt here, so maybe it was just an "off" day where I got the tail end of the fish, or whatever it may be . I did finish my entire box of food because I was starving and I would totally come back if this was the only option for poke in the area !

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We narrowed down on having poki and ended up here. It's next to Board & Brew which had a very long line. Foot traffic was steady and lines comes in waves as groups of people come in. There isn't much seating so I consider us lucky that we found a table. My husband ordered a regular poki bowl (3 proteins) and I got the veggie bowl (tofu as the protein). I didn't want multiple proteins in my bowl so it was just the right amount. I had half salad and half chips as my base and my husband had brown rice for his. We both enjoyed the flavor and size of our order. When we were done, I decided to have some boba. I ordered the strawberry matcha with almond milk & peach popping boba. I should have asked for the receipt since I did t realize there was also regular boba added to it too when I got my order. I had the sweetness reduced to 1/2 and it was still a bit sweet for me so I think I would ask for less if I get it next time. Overall, great poki place to stop by when you're in Carlsbad. We didn't park in this parking lot but it looks like it may be a bit of a challenge if you do with the limited amount of space.

Ahi tuna (the aftermath)

Great friendly service, The ahi was fresh and the sauces very customizable. Highly tecommend

SOFT OPENING! This Poki Poki just opened up in Carlsbad with soft opening hours 11a-8p! It's right next to Board and Brew and 7 Eleven. I've gone to other locations in Encinitas and coming to this location, it is so much bigger! I love that it's just a 5 min walk to the beach. There's way more tables to dine in, a lot of space, and they have new drink options, boba and alcohol! I came in with my girlfriend and we got a regular poke bowl. Prices are pretty average. We got pretty good portions too. Ethan is the employee that served us and very nice customer service, he helped us as soon as we got inside. The food is good, I wish we got more, can't wait to come back and try their new drink menu

First time trying this place on my birthday and I really enjoyed it! The customer service was great on a busy Monday afternoon with all of the tourists. I also ordered a boba to treat myself with and I was pleasantly 2. Definitely will be back!

Not so pretty anymore but this is what was leftover after I stuffed myself!

Fix your listed opening hours! Nothing irritates me more…read morethan when a company list their hours on Google and these aren't the correct business hours. The hours say you close at 9 PM. I leave my house at 8:30. Arrive at your shop at 8:45 and all the chairs are off the floor and the employees are mopping the entire lobby. You have the right to close whenever you want, but don't make customers play open roulette and drive all the way to your location just to find out you're not open. Other than incorrect business hours listed (this is a big deal IMO) the selection of beverages here is pretty good. So many options from milk teas, slushes, and fruit juices. One of the frustrating things is that they have a bunch of different beverages posted on the windows and lobby with drink names, but when you order those under the exact drink names, the barista's have no idea what they are. They drinks are pretty good, and worth stopping by on a hot day.

The Oreo and puffy cream flavor was overpowering with Oreos that my nephew didn't even taste the added boba. My milk tea with puffy cream was delicious. I don't think the puffy cream is needed as the milk tea base was quite tasty already. We also got the original bubble wrap and this time it was made perfectly. Thanks Heather! Overall great experience. Staff was super friendly. Greeted us as we were walked in and wished us a nice day when we left.

Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.
