Fresh fish and delicious poki Roll And friendly owner lady and guy. I order Tonkatsu , very crispy and good food read more

I hate to leave a review like this because I enjoyed coming here all throughout college, but the owner was so rude to my mom! My mom is a soft spoken woman but she won't be taken advantage of, so she rightfully chirped up when the owner was scooping menial 1/2 scoops of fish into her bowl. I don't think he liked her correction very much, as he got very snarky with her the remainder of the interaction and voiced frustration when she asked for additional fried onions (supposedly free btw).. My mom was perturbed with this, didn't leave a tip (this is a take out counter by the way so I think we can all agree that while it's polite/encouraged for great service, she wasn't deranged for not leaving anything), and then he proceeded to audibly throw a fit. Weird! I'm reading other reviews here, stating that portion sizes and quality have diminished. Sucks to hear, I love this spot. I hope the owner is receptive to this recent theme in reviews. read more

As for food and ambience Yelper Danny N. nailed it. Everything he said was spot on. What was different though was the portion size. Maybe because it was close to closing they decided to load up our bowls? We had a good amount of food, but didn't matter because it wasn't good. I ended up throwing half of it away. Very bland. Everything that was "spicy" was barely that, and I have low tolerance for spicy foods. It did not at any flavor whatsoever. My cousin was craving poke and the place I wanted to take her was closed for some reason so we turned to Yelp and this place popped up. I'm honestly confused at the 4.6 rating. Did we just order the wrong thing? I can only speak for their poke bowls, so if you're craving that, please go elsewhere. read more

Great place to go they cut the fish right there and the sauces were good too. They didn't have kobo or yellow tail anymore when I went but it was still great. The service was fast and they were super kind. The inside was super clean and there was a lot of seating which was great. I got Togo cause of my schedule but definitely will come back read more

Poki Roll - Large Poki Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

Sushi taste so good don't get me wrong, but the owner is very sketchy and unprofessional. I ordered two sushi roles went home and saw he charged me $40, when the roles are $10 each. What a scam!!! I also asked the owner for hot sauce and he kept telling me it's in the bag, I get to my car look in the bag, no hot sauce, so I went back in told the owner, "I got no hot sauce" and he basically just threw 1 sauce container at me and was completely rude about it. My family has been coming here for years now, we will no longer be supporting this bussiness any more. Only reason they got that extra star, is because at least the sushi is fresh and good. read more

One of my favorite places to go to sushi is always fresh and never had an issue with it. The quality control here is really good and I always find myself getting their large Poké bowl. This is by far one of my top places to go whenever I'm in the city. read more

Haven't been in many years and was craving poke due to the warm weather Local spot indeed Multiple Offerings Rolls Hand rolls Poke Entrees Sides Multiple sizes of bowls: small medium large would determine number of scoops of protein Upon serving it would seem like very specific portions are being served though service was easy and nice. (note $1 for avocado) clean and various booths and tables to sit, was semi quiet due to time of day Would return, poke light tasty fresh flavor, garlicky edamame had some extra seasoning and smelled wonderful Hidden gem literally in a corner yes read more

Honestly, I didn't even make it past seven bites. The fish tasted off, and unfortunately the sauces didn't taste good either. It just wasn't an enjoyable meal, and I won't be coming back. The only positive part of my experience was that the lady working there was very nice and friendly. read more

Good price, but uninspired food. The counter service was helpful and efficient. The ambiance is back corner next to laundromat, with an unfinished look inside. Seating isn't comfortable. I had a poke bowl made to order, which was pretty good. But the menu isn't really Hawaiian or Japanese with bulgogi and a Mexican roll. Plenty of choices and variety, but not much I would order. read more

Poki Roll has been around for a while, but it was only through yelp that I was able to find it. This spot is a small, family-owned business. The best value is their "special combo", which is a small poke bowl with a "base roll" for $15.50. I upgraded to a medium bowl and my "roll" was a crunch roll. With their poke bowls, their small bowl is two scoops of protein, their medium bowl is three scoops of protein, and their large bowl is 5 scoops of protein. I have to say that I enjoyed my roll and my bowl, but my issue is that the scoops of protein are on the smaller side. The scoop is about the size of a knob of butter on a stack of pancakes. I was waffling between three stars and four. Even though I felt that what I ordered was delicious, I ultimately felt that the value and food experience was simply OK, which is three stars in the yelp scale. I do think that it's a good spot for poke and everything tastes good. If you're hungry, definitely go with a large bowl and don't overlook that "special combo" as it helps you maximize value. read more

Good poke. Fresh, and taste so authentic. The place is little and feels so homey. We came in the evening and it was pretty empty for sit down, the people helping us were helpful and nice. My husband and I had medium bowls, and my son grabbed a chicken teriyaki bento box. read more

Poki Roll - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

The food is delicious and the people working here are nice and helpful. The only drawback was the portion size which is better at other Poké places. Still the prices were decent and the dining atmosphere is great for those who want a sit down experience. I got mine to go this time. I didn't try the sushi this time but they have a sizable vatiety. My rating is 4.5. read more

Such a cute restaurant with amazing food. The service was great. Every question i had they answered and offered me different options. Can't wait to go back. read more

Poki Roll - The menu - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

$20 for a large poke bowl is pretty standard but the fact that this place was so stingy with their add ons. 3 pieces of cucumber, two strings of carrots and so on. You're paying for the fish and veggies are not that expensive that they have to put so little. Disappointed. Also got the lychee slushie with boba and the boba was hard as pellets which means it's olddddd! read more

My family and I used to love this poke restaurant. When it first opened, it was our go to place!! It was fresh, clean, cool, and always inviting. The fish was amazing, the place felt vibrant, and every visit was a great experience. They used to have freshwater with lemons on tap and a complementary miso soup, and had that, well kept feel that made you feel confident about eating raw fish. One of the best parts has always been the owner!! He is such a kind and welcoming person who always greets us and makes time to chat. That personal touch really made it feel special. We also loved his nephew who would be in often too in the beginning! Unfortunately, after our most recent visit, I left feeling disappointed and honestly a little sad. The space just doesn't feel clean anymore. The moment we walked in, it felt humid and stuffy, almost like something wasn't being properly ventilated or maintained. That fresh, crisp air that used to hit you when you walked through the door is gone, and instead there's this uncomfortable, "off" feeling that doesn't pair well with eating raw fish. It pains me to say it, but I don't see myself going back unless some serious changes are made. The quality and atmosphere that once made this place stand out seem to be slipping fast. I truly hope they turn things around and go back to what made them so great in the beginning, because they're definitely headed in the wrong direction right now. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the poke itself was good -- everything tasted fresh and flavorful. No complaints there. However, I do agree with other reviews about the portions. They were pretty stingy with both the fish and the add-ons. My husband and I each ordered a large bowl, and when we opened the bag, we genuinely thought we were given the wrong size -- the "large" looked more like a medium. For $16 per bowl, I expected a more generous portion, especially when it comes to the protein. It just didn't feel like the value matched the price. Overall, good quality poke, but the portion sizes would make me hesitate to come back. read more

Sad sad day. We wanted to like this place due to the good reviews and close proximity to our house. The poke bowls didn't taste fresh, the ambience is dark and sad, and the service was not up to par. Food 1/5 We ordered 2 Medium poke bowls. The white and brown rice was mushy. The poke scoops were small. While most places will mix the poke in the sauce before putting it on top of the rice, this place just squirts the sauce on top. This makes for an imbalance bowl and even more soggy bottom. Fish didn't taste fresh especially the yellowtail. Ambience 1/5 The place was empty during lunch on a weekday. There is very low lighting and lack of natural light. The place is clean but just looks old. The bathroom was even worse with a strange odor. The place needs an update. One thing to note is they are playing Christian music in the background. Not sure how i feel about eating poke while wondering if Jesus is judging me for not finishing my food. Just an FYI for those who might be turned off by that. Service 2/5 They didn't say anything mean or rude. They just didn't smile or look happy. also I'm not sure why they ask what toppings we wanted when he just puts everything in both bowls. It's like he's operating on auto-pilot. Sorry, I won't be back again. Experience was so poor my wife and I almost got into an argument. Tip of the day. Don't take your wife to a bad restaurant when everyone is HANGRY. read more

Some of the best Poki I've had hands down. It not only looks great, but it tastes amazing. I love how fresh the fish and salad/topping items are. The service was prompt and I loved how clean and artsy the space was inside. In the City of Cypress, this may seem like a hole in the wall spot from the outside but is truly a hidden gem! I enjoy eating here and highly recommend trying this spot. read more

Poki Roll - Spicy Tuna Poki bowl, how yum! - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

Finally had the chance to try this spot today! I arrived at around 5pm and there was no wait. I ordered 3 poke bowls and 1 premium roll. The man who took my order was friendly and easily prepared each different poke bowl, and my premium roll was finished at pretty much the same time as the bowls were done. My salmon tasted fresh, and all the toppings were great quality too. There are lots of different options for toppings, and everyone enjoyed their food. I will definitely be back! read more

Was eager to try this place due to the high reviews, however, upon entering the store the atmosphere felt... oddly intimidating? The owners both stared us down and also rushed us to order, despite there being nobody else there but us. We got build your own poke bowls with half chips and half rice. Portions were very small and the fish is cut even smaller, each piece being small enough to fit on my fingertip. Fish tasted fine but one thing to note was that they didn't mix my fish separately in a bowl (which to me is standard at most poke places.) Fish was just put on top of the rice in my bowl and he proceeded to just put the sauces directly in the bowl. The rice was super soggy due to the fact that everything was just tossed into one bowl and they called it a day. Poke wasn't not done well and the menu is a bit hard to read, I wouldn't come back for the poke. read more

The worst poke bowl I've ever had. The ingredients did not taste fresh. The crispy onions were stale, and the fish did not taste fresh at all. I was very disappointed. They really skimped on the portions, making it not worth the money. When I asked for extra toppings, I was barely given any, and it was clear the worker was annoyed. I don't recommend this place at all. It was a complete waste of money. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! Literally a hole in the wall, but definitely a standout menu with awesome pricing. This place was right around the corner from us, so we'd been meaning to try it and I'm glad we took the time to stop by. We came by around 6 pm and there was bit of a line but the gentleman making all the rolls and serving the bowls was on it! He was too speedy while also not making you feel rushed. The price point was amazing! Very often we go to places that are overpriced with low quality food, but this place met everything expectation. We had a baked roll and two poke bowls. Everything was awesome! Can't wait to to come back. read more

They are stingy with the portions of fish and toppings. I asked for spicy mayo and the owner was too lazy to refill so he was squeezing barely any left and had to ask for me. When I had asked the owner to add more of cucumber she added 2 extra pieces. There was barely any flavor and the rice was undercooked and sticky. I will never be coming back. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Poki bowl- everything tasted really fresh. Ordered a spam musubi and liked that they make it fresh when ordered and you can see them make it right there. Will definitely be back. Also great service read more

This place has been a staple in the area for years. Quality is unmatched and service is great. Lots of tables available and great quick lunch spot read more

We decided to go with the pokey bowl. The fish was very fresh. Very tasty. All the sides were good. The only thing is the server was very rude. There was no one other than us there, and we had to yell at her so that she could hear us and understand us and she was yelling at us when we asked for extra sauce she said already gave extra and I said I want extra both please and thank you. The ambience was quite and tranquil. No one was there but us overall the portions were very small than what we used to at a poke bowl, but the price was also smaller than what we're used to for Poké bowl as well. I do recommend you don't get their smoothies with Boba not really smoothies just blended ice read more

I just had a bad service experience here. I walked in, and was greeted at least. I don't get poke often, it had been a while. Seemed like the man was expecting me to know how things work here. He was preoccupied cutting up avocados while he was taking my order, not filling my bowl as we talked thru what I wanted. When we were thru with picking the ingredients, he stopped cutting his avocados and started putting my bowl together. I asked for brown rice and salad base, he put white rice with no salad in there. I called him out about the salad, but I didn't say anything about the white rice. He put a bunch of salad on top, but then the whole bowl was off balance. He was impatient with me, he was fidgeting and it made me feel weird. I did not feel appreciated with the support I gave this business, and these days that is absolutely huge to me. At $18 for a large bowl, I deserved better attention and appreciation. And I still left a tip. I'm not coming back. I don't care what the quality of food is like, if you don't appreciate your customers then I will not support it. Treat people better who are spending their hard working money with you, that's all I gotta say. read more

Wanted to try this place but the staff made me leave with their rude attitude. I was asking a question and they ignore it. The menu is hard to read but both kept saying "base. Base. Base." It's unfortunate but they lost a customer. I was not expecting such bad ambiance. read more

Not sure how this place has such high ratings. I've been to a LOT of poke places this past year. The portion sizes here are smaller than what I've received at other poke places. I looked at the scoop and thought, "that's all?!" The options for toppings and sauces do not have as much variety as other places. However, selection of protein and base options is decent (they had a salad and chip base that other places sometimes don't have). I counted the number of toppings they put in my bowl: 7 corn kernels, 8 edamame, 2 cucumber slices. The sauces were a thinned out. Overall, I was still hungry after eating a bowl and would not recommend unless you're new to poke bowls and aren't super picky. read more

Was super excited to try out this place since it had some of the best reviews on poke in the area, but sad to say that I was quite disappointed. I ordered the small build your own poke with salmon and tuna to-go. Not sure if I came at an off time (~1:30pm on a Wednesday) since the place was completely empty, but the ingredients didn't taste fresh and the fish was even a little fishy. The tiny portions also surprised me, with small sprinkles of sides/veggies and tiny scoops of fish. I don't eat huge portions at all, but even for me it was tiny and for $11.48 it was not worth it at all. I've had better quality AND way larger portions elsewhere for comparable prices, so sadly I won't be coming back. read more

cute hole in the wall type place. Private parking lot, limited seating inside. They have rolls, poki, sides, boba & some main dishes. Everything tasted excellent, service was great and very friendly. Everything is very reasonably priced and delicious! read more

Always love coming here, the food is always amazing no matter what you get and the service is unmatched!!

Wildly inconsistent portions. Good price though. We got 3 medium bowls and it was clear the employee was distracted--multiple customers arrived after us and he was also juggling making an online order at the same time. No fault of his own, just lack of staff led to rushing. My bowl was made the same time as the online order and it seemed he was giving nearly double the food to the online order than to me. Also, "Station 2" physical menu doesn't list seaweed but you will definitely get it, even if you don't want it. Taste was fine but surprised how highly rated this place was on yelp. read more

Amount for the price not worth it but taste was good. Probably will not go here again. Disappointed

Been going here for awhile. Generally, I've always had a good experience. Food is better than most places. The chef/owner keeps conversations to a minimum. Overall, my experience was okay. I like the combo, which give you a bowl of poke, customize to your liking paired with udon or a sushi roll. read more

#1 the price is better than any other poki place I've been to in recent history. I'm very impressed. And the $2 cali roll? Heck yes. #2 the quality is good. Obviously you can find better poki. But it's still good quality and especially for the price. #3 just eat here... I wish it was closer to my work and I'd be here multiple times a week. Boba is just ok. Don't expect too much from it. I'm sure I'll try their non-poki options eventually. read more

Went here on my lunch break and had a poke bowl. Bowl was good reasonably priced I got the large for 15$ that came with 5 scoops of fish. The toppings were good. I also got a base roll which was good. Service was great but it's slow wouldn't recommend if you in a rush. There's a few tables to eat inside it's not a very big place. I saw 1 table outside. I would def go back and try the soup and roll combo. read more
