LaLa E.

Thank you Poki Poki for totally redeeming yourselves!! i've been here twice this past month :) i just had to give them another shot frm having a not so great experience a few years back. i didn't leave a negative review because in my heart it wasn't the food it was the Wrong Crew *at that time. well anyways i wanna say they have up'ed their game and their customer service is WAY WAY better than before. The poke bowl became a whole to-go Box for the large and not sure if the server just liked me but also super generous the last 2times i ordered. Everyone deserves a second chance. i'm glad i did. i'll be seeing you again soon!- lots of parking but kinda tricky entrances to this location -the Home Goods/Aldi/BevMo / Fed Ex /El Pollo Loco Plaza. ******oops- this review is for the one in Escondido!! lol my bad! :D

Regular bowl at almost $18
Sandra M.

This was my first and last time here. The servers are kind of rude and not helpful at all. The price of a regular bowl, (salmon, ahi tuna, and spicy tuna) is EXPENSIVE at $17.81. I will say that it is a good portion size, but I was not impressed by the quality of the fish. The salmon was soft and buttery and the spicy tuna was flavored very well but the ahi tuna had so many pieces with skin left on which made it chewy. But what gives this restaurant a one star is that I got a random piece of fish that must have fallen into one of the trays (I think it was the seared ahi tuna since it was cooked on all sides except the middle) and it was PUTRID rotten. Like, absolutely horrendous to the point of me gagging and spitting it out. I will never go back to this place.

Amazing Food! Super good but pricy since it is poki. Workers are nice but don't work the quickest. The place is nice and clean and they also have amazing boba!

The restaurant

I love this location! The staff are always friendly and efficient when we visit. There was a long line on this particular occasion. The restaurant was clean despite heavy foot traffic. As always, my poke bowl was super tasty. The ingredients always seem to be fresh. By the time I add all of my toppings to my fish choices, I am left with a very hefty bowl of food. it's extremely filling and I often have leftovers. That way I get to enjoy two times. I love all the options to customize your bowl to include exactly what you want. This is better than when you go to a restaurant and order poke there. They don't necessarily have options for customization at other restaurants . So this is my definite go- to poke choice! They could add a few more tables to make the restaurant seem a bit more inviting. They have lots of empty floor space.

Salmon, ahi tuna and seared ahi tuna, crab, 1/2 salad 1/2 brown rice and toppings.

We went for lunch and we were able to walk right up and order. They had more choices of fish than I thought they would. The serving size was pretty big. I was able to save half for dinner. It was clean and very open.

Disgusting table
W. Curtis P.

The health department should pay them a visit. Their tables are covered with sticky black goo. They know it and the owner doesn't care. See the pictures. The tables are not properly finished. There was a thin layer of urethane that has worn off in many places and now food is sticking to the tables and I can't get it off. The tables need to be stripped in a proper layer of urethane applied.

Brown sugar milk tea boba
Vera K.

I had an amazing experience here this afternoon. My boyfriend and I stopped by so I could get some boba today. I got the Brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba and it was 10/10 exactly what I was craving!!! They had so many options for milk tea including a variety of boba and adds on. I also love poke but didn't try any today...I will be back though!! Definitely check this place out for boba.

Regular Bowl
Sheila V.

Ordered 2 regular bowls for about $35 including tip. The plates were absolutely stacked and pretty affordable considering its poke. I liked how they had seared ahi tuna as a protein option, never really seen that at other poke shops. They had limited sauce and topping options in comparison to other spots, but they had all the essential ones you'd expect. Process was simple and quick. The flavors and quality of fish was okay; I've had better, but it's still really good for the price. I was able to split my bowl into 2 separate meals. The interior of the shop is pretty clean as well. Overall, would come again if I'm looking for a cheap poke spot.

Food (4/5 stars): Pretty solid poké place in Vista! I appreciated the generous portions and all the toppings. The fish wasn't the freshest, but the eel sauce and spicy mayo made up for it Experience (3/5 stars): * Price: quite pricey * Wait Time: egregiously long on a Tuesday night. They were severely understaffed * Service: good and friendly * Parking: there's ample parking in the Vista Village * Ambiance: it's a simple and casual poké spot

Super stingy with their food. Other Poki places add more food and here they don't even go over the bowl.

We've been here multiple times. The poke and boba are nothing to complain about, they are fine. But…read morethis place has a serious lack of proper staffing and/or training. I just paid $95 for the employee to STOP making my boba order to allow a poke customer who just walked in to order and pay. I stood there and watched his entire order process. What's worse is that this is the SECOND time this happened... I thought the first may have been a weird fluke. I asked the employee and she said it's their policy to stop boba drinks to help poke customers. 1. I paid $95 to wait 25 minutes for my to-go poke and boba order. Unacceptable. 2. They lost another customer who wanted to order boba because his slow it was, they literally left. There's too much competition for this exact food in the area to have such bad customer service. If they don't fix it, they will lose many more customers to other places.

They definitely pack your bowl with rice/salad rather than the protein itself. I got double scoops…read moreof salmon and it was like 5 or 6 large pieces of salmon. The size of the salmon was a little too big for my liking. I feel like it would make more sense to make the salmon pieces smaller with more on your bowl. They barely gave the toppings that were included. It was filling probably because of the rice but if it wasn't for the rice, I don't think it would have been filling at all. There's a lot of indoor seating but the owner was sitting at the corner which was kind of uncomfortable. It was a hot day, and it wasn't very cool in there. I don't know if I'd be back to be honest. Maybe the tea is good?

What keeps me coming back isn't just the delicious, fresh ingredients and generous portions, but the incredible customer service. The owners are genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always go above and beyond to make sure every customer has a great experience. Another thing I truly appreciate is how well-organized and easy to understand their menu is. Everything is clearly explained, from the different bowl sizes to the number of ingredients you can choose. You know exactly what you're getting, and the portions are definitely worth it! In a world where great customer service can be hard to find, Poké Jaws truly stands out. You can tell the owners take pride in their business and genuinely care about their customers. If you're anywhere in Vista or the North County San Diego area and looking for fresh, delicious poké with outstanding service, I highly recommend giving Poké Jaws a try! Keep up the amazing work! You've definitely earned a loyal customer!

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

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!
