I haven't been to Poki Poki in a while and had forgotten how good it is. Service is quick and efficient with a wide selection of fresh fish and sides. I chose a large bowl with half white rice and half spring mix. I could choose 4 proteins: salmon x 2, ahi tuna and scallops. I was tempted by the octopus, but my server said it can be tough sometimes. You pick your heat level and whatever sauces to flavor the bowl. I like the fish being unseasoned so you can dressed it up to your mood. The serving was generous and flavorful. I picked spicy mayo and miso dressing. The total was $20 including tax. The only issue is parking is a pain in the lot during lunchtime. read more

Poki Poki Encinitas - Large poke bowl: salmon, ahi and scallops - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

There were two guys working when we arrived and they were so friendly and efficient! We got our order in minutes (thankfully no line at 2pm on Saturday). We ordered a large bowl (4 scoops of protein) with almost all the toppings to share between the two of us since we were looking for a light snack. The portion was generous and seafood tasted fresh. I especially enjoyed the scallops and seared ahi tuna! Also appreciated him going light on the dressing to let the seafood shine. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a poke spot. Clean, ample seating, and a bathroom for customers. I would return! read more

Ordered via door dash and it did not disappoint! I got the 3 serving bowl with seared ahi tuna, ahi tuna and spicy tuna.

It's been awhile since I've had poke and was torn between Cava and Poki Poki and decided on a poke bowl. They were out of salmon (which they let me know before I ordered) so I opted for tuna and spicy tuna. They were super generous with their portions. Unfortunately, they were also out of avocado, but the bowl still tasted great! read more

Honestly, I love coming here. My wife and I sometime are craving a proper Poke bowl and this place never seems to lack. They are affordable, generous, and fresh. I will say the Large is BIG. And can honestly feed 2 people. The spot is small and designed more to go, with some indoor and outdoor seating. Service is friendly and helpful every time I go. I will be coming here time and time again. Grateful for this place. read more

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. read more

Friendly staff, clean space, generous proportions! Just lacked a little flavor for some reason? Ordered the regular bowl, salmon, tuna & shrimp. 1/2 salad 1/2 brown rice. Added spicy mayo and eel sauce. Should have flavor right? Idk pricing is average might be back... try again or go back to Poki Chop which has yet to disappoint. read more

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. read more

This is a good poke spot. Service is quick and staff is friendly. The Poke is consistent and good. There isn't anything here that will blow your socks off but there also isn't anything that should scare you away either. I've eaten here multiple times and the fish is always fresh. Definitely with stopping in if you're in the area looking for some good poke. I'll be back soon. read more

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. read more

Poki Poki Encinitas - a close up of a plate of food - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

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 read more

Poki Poki Encinitas - Poke bowl with octopus, albacore, salmon - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

The poke bowls are 10/10. Portions are generous and they don't limit you on number of toppings which is why I would definitely return again. Staff is also friendly. read more

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 read more

You definitely get a bang for your buck with the bowls! And delicious! Recommend and will be coming back

Fish tasted good until 10 mins after I bought it which was weird. White rice was severely undercooked. I came in at 3:30 PM on a Friday so maybe that's why it was off but it sure didn't live up to its "amazing" reviews... also the menu said the regular was $14 and I got charged $17??? read more

sooooò goooddss X 300% One salad is enough for three people. I gave him a big tip I hope they have a good boss and I'll make it 1 star if it's less read more

This is hands down my favorite poke place in Encinitas. Generous portions, friendly staff, fresh ingredients, what more could I ask for after my workouts at the gym? I come here multiple times a week. I can't give them my money fast enough. It's delicious, no frills, has tables inside and outside. Perfection. Keep up the great work, I'm a lifer. I don't even have a photo because I inhale my bowl before I can snap a pic. It's that good. read more

Since Andre already banned me, here is my experience. My tuna was frozen and the rice under cooked so I returned my bowl after 2 bites. When I asked for a refund, André said if I insisted on a refund I wouldn't be allowed back. I was obviously devastated but I agreed to never darken his door again so I could get my $19.53 back. 1 star for those who like tuna popsicles and hot Al dente rice. This place is for you. For all others, Cava is next door. read more

This place really hooks it up! Super super generous. The staff works fast. It's clean. No complaints at all. read more

Fresh and healthy servings. Love this place, if you're a fan of poke this is the place to go in north county.

this restaurant gave me food poisoning. It smells weird when you walk in the food is decent, but it's not clean at all.

This place has jacked up their prices three times in the past year AND as so stingy with their toppings; over this place

Avoid the fat B She will give you one scoop of fish and make you cry. Other worked give you 3 scoops of fish, very disappointing. read more

The service was fantastic but, I missed a part of the football game wish it was on the T.V. I remember when they used to have it on!

I love poke, and exploring different restaurants regularly. But this was horrible. Both, me and my husband, got diarrhea after visiting this place. I don't remember having that bad stomach-ache before, that kept waking me up through the night. read more

Great service, yummy poké. There's lots of different options for anyone's taste. Vegetarian options are available and gluten free friendly you just have to let the server know. read more

Coming here for years and I've literally never had a bad experience here. Service is super fast and the portions are truly enormous. It's the only place that does not cheap out on the avocado, you definitely get your moneys worth. read more

Some of the best poke around. Super fresh fish and produce, flavorful sauces, fast assembly line ordering style and pretty fair pricing for what you get. My bowl was packed with food, more than other places for sure. This is more of a to-go atmosphere but there are a couple tables inside. read more

I took a photo of my leftovers but it may not help so I am using words instead. My niece suggested Poki Poki when I asked if she was up for some poke last night. We had it for dinner. The portions are healthy. The food is fresh. The staff was very kind. The store was clean and the temperature was cool. All perfect for a poke pickup. Definitely recommend. read more

They provided poor service by refusing to refill the salmon, and there was very little salmon available. I decided not to order it. They need to improve! I always tipped them, so last night was very disappointing. read more

Gave this Poke place a shot based on high Yelp rating. It's off the beaten path, in a strip mall. Can't sit inside (not sure why, they would accommodate 2-3 tables and still maintain social distancing) but they have a couple of tables outside and that was good since we used them. Typical Poke place where you can order a bowl and choose your choice of fish, toppings, sauces etc. A welcome addition to the menu was the sushi burrito which has always been my favorite in other places so I ordered that one only to find out that the machine that rolls out the bed of rice on top of the seaweed was broken or couldn't be started. What a downer. The bowl I ordered had tuna and salmon; topped it with spicy mayo and sesame oil plus ponzu sauce. Added imitation crab meat, seaweed salad, tempura crumbs etc. Fish was decent, rice was good but didn't have that vinegary taste that makes it more palatable. For $13 once gets a decent size bowl with lots of fish and quite a few accoutrements. One tip (and that is the same for all establishments): make sure the workers change their gloves in between customers. Many don't or will change only one, on their non-dominant hand. Did it happen here? I will stop at this. Just keep your eyes open! :) Overall, a good value, I hope they fix their sushi burrito machine soon and I would definitely come back to give it another try. Tip: if you are a frequent eater there, or going to be, enter your phone number by the register and start accumulating points toward free food or drinks. read more

Fresh fish and the freshest toppings. The Poki is Outstanding. Absolutely delicious. Nice and clean location. Friendly staff. read more

This is my favorite poke shop in Encinitas. It's great because I'll grab a poke bowl while the hubby goes next door to grab something else. I always get the same thing and go rogue on occasion by getting a rice bowl instead of a greens bowl. Always start with greens, tuna, seared ahi and ebi. Then yes yo the onions and radish with a medium heat sauce and add spicy Mayo that they toss everything in. Next I top it off with crab mix, avocado, garlic crisps, edamame, ginger, sesame seeds and dried nori. They usually give me soy sauce and wasabi in the side, which I like dipping the seared ahi in. Check this place out but expect to wait. It's a hopping place but we'll worth it. read more

We have loved this place and come here and get a poke bowl once a week. Unfortunately the portions have diminished significantly, leaving us so disenchanted that we're not inclined to keep going there. It's a little insulting when this suddenly happens. We almost would rather have them increase the price than slash the portions. read more

Fun, hipster,fresh place and food. Great value for your buck. Concept is like chipotle, make your bowl as you wish. Outside seating available. So many fun sauces to chose from. Choice of white rice, brown rice or lettuce as base.... read more
