    Literally the best poki restaurant. The one in Escondido location could never compete with this branch . The girlies working last night really know how to make a plate ! They're super friendly , super clean and make a really good poki bowl ! I'm obsessed. After the gym this hits so good.

    A hair-raising experience... literally!!! First time. Last time. I was traumatized. Imagine this: you're settling in, excited for a fresh poke bowl, only to discover a clump of hair tangled in your food. Not a strand. Not a single rogue hair. A clump. I didn't sign up for a side of someone's DNA. To top it off, they got my order wrong. I ordered no tofu but I guess I'm glad they added it as I begin to pull them out and it made the clunk of hair easier to see. However, I consumed some of the food!! So not only was I disgusted, I was also still hungry and nauseated!! There's nothing appetizing about wondering which stranger's scalp was mixed in with your meal!!! If I could give negative zero stars, I would. Never again!! Feeling sick and disgusted

    Spicy tuna and tofu

    All the employees are super nice! Great poke overall, never have had a bad experience with them! Love how they're always stocked and the atmosphere is excellent.

    Poki Poki entrees are generously portioned where one entree can easily feed 2 people. Extra add ons are very minimal, which allows for customer to enjoy all their favorite fixings. The quality of ingredients of protein & vegetables are fresh.

    ‍ SURF, SAND, and now... POKI POKI! If you're in Oceanside and haven't tried Poke Poke, are you even living your best beach life? Let me break it down for you - it's like the ocean decided to do a culinary high-five with the mainland, and we're the lucky recipients of the resulting deliciousness. First of all, they're all about Hawaiian Poke, which is basically the superhero version of a bowl. Fresh ingredients team up in an epic battle for maximum flavor, and I'm here for it. Seriously, it's like the Avengers of food. And speaking of fresh, they don't mess around. Locally caught sushi-grade fish from the Pacific Ocean - straight into your bowl. It's like Nemo went on vacation and decided to become part of your lunch. Now, here's the thing - Poke Poke keeps it real. No fancy-schmancy stuff, just top-tier ingredients getting cozy together. You build your bowl like a boss, with California vibes in mind. Farm-fresh produce? Oh yeah, they've got that covered. Oh, and let's talk about Ana. She's like the foodie fairy godmother you never knew you needed. Ana was an absolute gem, super helpful with my order - making sure every ingredient danced together in perfect harmony. Seriously, if there were a Nobel Prize for Food Assistance, Ana would be our nominee. So, whether you're a wave-rider, a sandcastle builder, or just someone with an insatiable appetite for awesomeness, Poke Poke in Oceanside is where the party's at. Surf's up, flavor's in, and it's time to ride the taste wave. Cowabunga, foodies! P.S. If you're not humming the "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" song from Lilo & Stitch by the end of your meal, did you even Poke Poke?

    Normally it's packed full wow now stingy with the toppings

So I keep trying new spots hoping one finally hits. I'd driven past Urban Teri Kitchen a bunch of times taking my kids to practices and games and finally decided to stop in. Didn't even check Yelp first. Just went in blind based on a good feeling about the place. Glad I did. I ordered the half-and-half with chicken teriyaki and katsu, and honestly it was one of the better teriyaki plates I've had anywhere around here. The chicken was flavorful, the katsu was crispy without being greasy, and everything tasted fresh. It's a little pricier than some teriyaki spots, but the quality backs it up. My wife and I could easily split one order next time. I came in around 4 PM, so it wasn't packed, but the people inside looked happy, the restaurant was clean, and the whole place just had a really good vibe. Sometimes you can tell within a minute whether a place cares about what they're doing, and this felt like one of those spots. There's a reason they've got 4.7 stars. If anything, I'd say that rating is deserved.

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!
