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.

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

Regular poke bowl

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!

Finally I was able to get it together and put in an order: Make your own bowl: by far the standout. Come here for poke bowls point blank!!! They were generous with the toppings and there was no way on this planet I would ever be able to finish one in a single sitting! I got shrimp (perfectly cooked), spicy tuna. (Tasted standard and zero fishy taste), spicy Krab (eh, it adds some creamy goodness to the bowl, and seared tuna (again fresh tasting). I got the various mix in and my bowl was just loaded up! Butterfly shrimp: tasty snack that goes well with the spicy mayo dip. Reasonable at about $1 per shrimp which were crispy without being battered to hell and back. Seaweed salad: again they filled the container! For whatever reason this once cheap dish has gone up in price drastically the past few years, and here you get a really generous amount! Yay! Others in my group got Poké bowls and all loved them. The only murmurs of discontent was with those who got the chicken katsu and the garlic shrimp. They said their dishes were pretty dry. They did load up the potions though... so ... ya know, if you do like it, there will be A LOT of it. I noticed they have a happy hour which is cool. Cheaper Poké bowls and half off apps. Not a bad deal at all! Especially because they have a little seating area which can make it a nice little place to check out. In all I would definitely recommend their Poké bowls.

Really easy to order ahead and pick up or go in and order to eat there. Quick either way. Staff is really friendly and helpful with suggestions too. During our most recent visit, I ordered a regular size with white rice and two portions salmon and one portion ahi tuna. I did the same marinade (unagi and spicy mayo) for the fish as the top dressing too. Really loved all the toppings you could add, especially the seaweed salad, edamame, and ginger. My husband ordered similarly with just all spicy ahi tuna and no edamame. We both enjoyed our meals, especially with our Hawaiian Sun treats.

Poké was calling my name and Poki Poki was highly rated for delivery as well as being reasonably priced. I went with a "regular" sized "bowl" and WHAT?! I got a massive takeout box filled to the brim! Believe me, I'm not complaining but I was pleasantly surprised. I had a few add ons to my bowl, but overall it was about $23 which was just fine for the quality and the quantity of food. In my bowl I got spicy tuna, cucumber, spicy crab, avocado, salmon, spicy mayo, over white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and the spicy tuna and spicy mayo was the perfect little kick! All the components tasted super fresh and it was the perfect "bowl" overall. Filling and tasty while still being refreshing. I also got one of their Vietnamese iced coffees and WHEEWWW tread lightly. It was absolutely phenomenal but I was bouncing off the walls. Granted, I needed that for the long day I had ahead, but sometimes that can be too much. 10/10 do recommend though. A little bummed I'm not a local resident because Poki Poki would see me weekly!

It's become a place that my husband and I return to, and take our visitors. My mouth is savoring at the thought of the fish and chips. The fish is delicate and the breading is just thick enough and crispy. The fries remind me of when McDonalds fries are at its best, We've tried tacos, which was nice and fresh. The seasoning and sauce were also delicious. I was a huge fan of the tuna in the sampler. There was a spicy option I wasn't a huge fan of.

Even though I found the food I sampled to be…read more3-star, not 4-star, I liked the vibe of the place and it was easy to imagine returning for a similar light nosh and beer, which I think is the sweet-spot for enjoying the place. I sat inside which is a deceiving statement. The space has a roof on it but, as designed, the entrances are wide open and not much different than sitting outside. So why sit inside? Because you can opt for the counter/bar seating or because you want to watch the baseball game airing on the big screen. Many beers are offered here, and the satisfying Harland Nelson West Coast IPA was chosen. Accompanied by a Toro Handroll ($12), Musubi ($8), and Bang Bang Cauliflower ($8), this made a satisfying light meal for two. Despite fully consuming them, the food offerings didn't wow us. Some additional wasabi, ginger, and I know not what would amp up the flavor profiles and be more personally satisfying to me. But still? I liked the place and left saying that I could see returning. Nice vibe and perfect for a cold beer and a simple, small something to keep your stomach from grumbling.
