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 don't forget to tip!!! So if you're headed to Hawaii to get station over there, I definitely recommend this place to give you a taste of what it is to be on the island. Get a sense of the Kama'aina' legacy. We got the spicy garlic and the Ahi tuna both did not upset. The sticky rice made great and greens are fresh. No fishy taste. Fish felt like it came straight out of the ocean. Reminds me of my good old days when I used to live by the Punchbowl, or would like to drive by the outskirts of Oahu to the country and just cruse the island and set camp to see the sunset. Come support local as I see the shop is here to stay for eva! Shootz! Kolohe Boy

I stopped by this location to get a juice and realized there's a new business had opened up where…read morethe previous juice shop was. It looks like PokePort has made a home in Oceanside! PokePort Oceanside offers customizable poke bowls, allowing customers to choose their base (sushi rice, brown rice, or mixed greens), a protein (such as albacore, salmon, ahi or tofu), dressing (like wasabi or spicy aioli), mix-ins (like sweet onions, mango or tempura flakes), and sides (including avocado, kimchi or seaweed salad). Each bowl is priced at around $18, with options to add extra protein or additional mix-ins and sides for an additional cost. This chain also has locations in Wildomar, Murrieta and Temecula as well. I hear that they are a family-owned and this is good news. I was greeted by the friendly staff as I entered. I observed a few customers come in and order food TO-GO. The interior is very simple and direct, with not a lot of decor or anything that stands out to enhance ambiance. Although it appears spacious, there's also very limited seating available. So, it's a great place for lunch, solo dining and maybe a date, but not great for large groups of people. I watched a few orders be prepared and the process is quick and cordial. I ordered a simple tiger milk boba drink, but requested coffee be added and they were willing to accommodate my request and I appreciated that. I had already eaten, but I decided to get a customized poke bowl and I loved it! I look forward to returning to try their Korean Bbq Beef Plate. Overall, I feel that PokePort Oceanside is a great hidden gem in a corner of Oceanside that often gets overlooked, even though it's right next to the 76 highway.

Shoots Beer & Tacos understood the assignment…read more I ordered the fish and shrimp taco combo because choosing just one felt emotionally impossible. Both were fantastic, but the shrimp taco absolutely stole the show. I'd happily start a fan club for that taco. Then there was the Mango Tajín beer...tangy, sweet, spicy, refreshing, and basically summer in a glass. Whoever thought of putting those flavors together deserves a high five. The ordering is easy cafeteria-style, but don't panic--you don't have to awkwardly balance a tray while searching for a table. Just order, grab a seat, and they'll bring everything to you. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it's dog-friendly (major points), and parking was surprisingly painless. Great tacos, fun drinks, easy parking, and dogs are welcome? That's what I call a quadruple threat. I'll definitely be back...mostly because I'm pretty sure that shrimp taco and I have unfinished business.

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!
