    Ordered via door dash and it did not disappoint! I got the 3 serving bowl with seared ahi tuna, ahi tuna and spicy tuna. Added imitation crab, corn, pineapple, edamame, mandarin oranges and all the sauces. It was so good! I'm always skeptical on poke places but it was delicious. Would definitely order from here again!

    Just updating this review to say they still got it. Dude with longer hair (blonde) has the food presentation down. Worth the price every time. Thanks y'all!

    Hands down, Poki Poki is one of my favorite poke spots around. The portions are generous and the ingredients are always fresh and flavorful, making every bowl a satisfying experience. The bowls are beautifully prepared and customizable, which keeps it fun to try new combinations each visit. Seating is limited, but that just adds to the charm of this casual, high-quality spot. If you're craving poke that hits all the right notes, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

    Love the proximity of this location. Staff is always attentive and the bowls are HUGE!! Definitely shareable or enough to satisfy a very hungry person. The regular bowl comes with 3 fish options and the large with 4 fish options. All the toppings you'd like. Avocado and spicy crab are extra as well cucumber noodles. Inside is small with only a few tables to eat. There are a few tables outside as well and a water station. Overall, good amount of food for the price.

    okay i have to start off by saying the guy working on 8/30 was soooo sweet! it was my friend and i very first time trying this spot. we absolutely loved getting the bowl with spicy tuna and salmon. i love how you can choose your protein, spicy level, options for a bunch of sides and drizzle of sauce on top. i recommended getting unagi and spicy mayo sauce drizzled on top!! so yummy. def can share one regular bowl between two people

    Tuna is wal-mart quality. Pumped with CO2 and masking something really off. The texture is mushy and watery with the only tuna flavor being very off putting. Unfortunate.

    Took the day to go to moonlight beach with my mom, sister, and her kiddos. We stopped into Poki Poki and it was amazing! Service was great, but the food was AMAZING. So much food for the price. We will definitely be coming back!

    Great, fresh poki with lots of toppings to choose from! It is located in a strip mall near Ross in Encinitas. The co-habby and I had late lunch plans but were starved while running errands prior so we decided to split a poke bowl. We opted for a half rice/half salad option and chose all of our fixings. Prices were on par with other poke locations, perhaps just a tiny bit more but it was no big deal. Nice, clean space, service was quick and friendly and our bowl hit the spot.

    Food looks fresh, but options are limited. Can't spell Poke in your name so "Poki" is a Japanese cookie not a Hawaiian entree. No Hamachi or yellow tail. Ahi is not deep ruby red but pink and has tendon so not tender but chewy, no yellow tail quality of fish is not up to my standards, service is fine and $20 for a poke bowl is standard

    Regular Poke Bowl to go
    Carmen S.

    Delicious food. Good variety and good service. Like most poki place, you order at the counter and pick your protein with rice or spring salad or cucumber salad. You can have half of each too. You get a choice of white or brown rice. Then you pick your proteins. You can mix them up or get one, which I did. I like salmon so I did salmon for my protein choice. Then you can choose all the toppings that range from crabmeat to edamame to seaweed salad and wasabi. You can choose sauces and sesame seed and dried seaweed. By the time I was finished, I had a bowl that could feed 2 people. Generous portions and very tasty. You can CC sit indoors and outdoors. Staff was nice and had good suggestions. I'll be coming back

    Do you take Apple Pay?

    Yessir

    Do they have cucumber noodles as a base like Pokewan in Carlsbad?

    No, they don't have cucumber noodles for a base. However, they offer sliced cucumbers (as well as onions) to be added into the poke mix. It is possible to get cucumbers as a base if you ask, they're just not "noodles".

    Does anyone know if they offer a Gluten Free Soy Sauce Option (Tamari) or does all the Poki have regular soy sauce on it already?

    The fish is not pre-sauced, it's fresh, clean, unadulterated Fish. You choose your sauces and veggies and can avoid soy sauce completely if you wish!

    My favorite stop on my recent trip to the San Diego area…read more Encinitas Fish Shop was recommended by one of my local SD work colleagues. I grabbed an Uber after work on a Thursday and headed north 11 miles. As I arrived at the Fish Shop, I could smell the goodness inside and saw the line waiting to order. The restaurant is on one side, with an open bar on the other. Ordering is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Pick your fish, pick how you want to consume it (plate, sandwich, salad), and pick your sides and drink. I went with my work colleagues recommendation of a blackened sea bass sandwich with onion rings and a Marg. That choice was FANTASTIC!!! You seat yourself once you order and place the buzzer given to you by the counter person on the unit on your table. Although busy, there were still tables available (bar and restaurant, plus out front). As the NBA playoffs were on, I sat inside. Everyone working here was friendly and as I already stated... my meal was the best I had on this San Diego visit. A bonus was a gorgeous sunset just 3 blocks down from the shop. I will be back to Encinitas Fish Shop when I next visit San Diego.

There's a chill yet elegant vibe to this place so feel free to dress up or be a bit more casual. In the evening, the lights dim and give it a romantic feel. The service was great and the food was DELICIOUS! If you're sober living, no problem! They have really good canned mocktails but trust, they're no ordinary canned drinks. They taste really good!! We ordered: miso soup and chicken gyozas as appetizers and the 5 hand roll set, Emo Brown Roll and blue crab hand roll for the meal. We had some of the sweet and spicy sauce left over from the gyozas and I used it on my spicy tuna roll and it was such a delicious combo! Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The executive chef Sebastian was also super down to earth and really cool! The Emo Brown Podcast brought us to this location and we will def be back and bring our family and friends to check it out.

The place has a large central bar with a few tables around the periphery as well as a few outside on the sidewalk. The decor is clean and modern and the place has a vibey feel. Not exactly sure how to rate this place. If rating it as a bar primarily that also has decent sushi, I'd give it five stars. If rating it as a sushi bar I'd give it three stars. All of the sushi that I had (nigiri, cut rolls and hand rolls) were good but nothing special. If you're looking for a great sushi experience, this is likely not the place. They have a small selection of Japanese and local craft beers as well as bottled and tap sake. I originally characterized the service as slow and inattentive. But looking at it from the perspective of a bar, it was casual and friendly in the slow way you'd expect for hanging out in a bar and socializing or watching sports.

I was kind of bummed that I was the only person dining for lunch, they honestly deserve a crowd. The food and service was 10/10. The setup is really cute on the inside as well and I was able to sit comfortably at a table with my daughter's stroller right next to me. Upon entering, I was greeted right away. I already knew that I wanted to order the Khao Soi because I had looked up their menu and pictures way before coming in and it looked like their specialty. I ordered an iced jasmine green tea as well and chose a table to sit at. The woman who took my order was really nice and helpful with ordering. My food didn't take long to come out, and it was DELICIOUS. This was my first time trying this dish so I didn't know what to expect but it was everything and more. It was topped with what I think was fried onion and chili crisp as well for some added spice. The tea was also so delicious, the crushed ice they use is my favorite. The tea was garnished with an orange slice and my toddler decided to much on it. The woman who took my order noticed my daughter eating the orange slice and she brought me out a couple more on the side. You really don't experience that level of customer service anymore, so it was such a sweet gesture. They have a lot of other things on their menu that I would love to come back and try. I also used the restroom before leaving and it was super clean. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever and I hope this business continues to thrive!
