    a bowl of rice with meat and vegetables
    Paul A.

    Design your own Poki. Many selection for you to pick. Add only few dollar and get 5 protein scoops instead of 3 protein scoops. Great for quick healthy meals.

    My husband just turned me on to the "half white rice/half salad" base thing. Wow, its so great that way! I always had so much rice left over at the end and this makes the meal so much lighter. We usually order the large ($15.99), half rice/half salad base, 3 scoops of tuna, 2 scoops of salmon, seaweed salad (+$1.50), crab meat, edamame, avocado (+$1.50), masago, ginger, sesame seeds. I think I'm going to stop getting the seaweed salad since they charge the extra $1.50 and no way is that an equal value to avocado! House sauce (ponzu) with a drizzle of eel sauce at the end. Everything is very fresh. We live super close to this location so it will be added to our To Go rotation.

    Let's try this place out.

    This place had fresh fish and lots of toppings my children enjoyed their food. Service was great! Restrooms were nice and clean. We just came from the beach and the kids love poke so we stopped and glad we did. I'd come here again if I'm in the area.

    I had to order the large which gives you five scoops of protein and the selections are really nice but I prefer spicy tuna. I love the interior of the place. It's really cool when you come in they'll start you off by asking how big your order whether it needs to be small or large I took the basic toppings of cucumber and fish eggs and then I had spicy mayo added my first layer with salad, but your choice is salad, or white or brown rice And I ordered Pasco guava nectar for me, it was the perfect meal !! The flavor was perfect to customize I think you'll love the options!!

    I came here with a friend to grab a quick lunch and it was perfect. We wanted something light and settled on poki. I'm not a huge poki fan but I really liked my bowl! I got a really simple bowl with salmon and some vegetables and sauce and it was great. The man at the counter was very patient with me. Definitely will come here again

    Poke bowl regular!

    Love love this place! Best poke in Orange County. Great service and nice decor inside. Shout out to Kim for always writing me nice notes

    Regular bowl with black rice

    Friendly staff with generous portions and great options. Their are some other places near by but Poke Star is a clear winner. This is my new poke place.

    Regular bowl  - fresh, healthy and awesomely delicious
    Monica H.

    We - one of my gfs and I finally tried this poki establishment for dinner to go. We have always gone to Starbucks and Bubba Sweets. This place is between the two. Stopped by after shopping at Trader Joe's Pretty self explanatory menu. Pick a bowl size, base rice/salad, half & half,, etc, I choose salad - cucumbers, seaweed salad, 3 proteins - tuna, salmon, peppered tuna ,and well sauce/sesame oil and wasabi. All was fresh. Clean, fresh food and friendly customer service. Awesome light dinner. Will definitely be back.

    Large poke
    Eric M.

    Hands down our favorite poke place anywhere. Big portions reasonable prices and quality fish. The workers are always nice and don't make you feel like you're bothering them like some of the places around here are. Overall best little spot to grab some food and hang out.

    Cha L.

    Friendly service, good portions for the price and the fish was fresh! Standard topping selections and the sauces I chose were ponzu and the spicy one which made it a perfect sauce for the salad that I had! Will return again next time!

Great fish selection for nigiri/sashimi, and they definitely don't skimp on portions. The slices were slightly thicker than what you typically get at most Japanese restaurants, but not overwhelming at all. Because of that, the nigiri and rolls do come with a bit more rice as well, but everything was well-balanced. Also ordered the Brussels sprout appetiser, which was a standout and easily one of the best Brussels sprout dishes I've had. Each sprout was perfectly coated with Parmesan cheese and nori. I'm addicted. Overall, a great spot with quality fish, exceptional service, and a cozy vibe. Will definitely be back.

Shawn puts an incredible amount of work into every roll and each cut of fish, and you really taste it.

Location looks sketchy, but the food is good and price is very reasonable. Black Ramen (pork broth, black garlic oil, chashu, egg, green onion, beansprout, wood-ear mushroom) was really good. Great tasting broth without being too salty. Yellowtail Jalapeño Roll was excellent. Had this type of roll at other places, but the one here just tasted more vibrant. Very refreshing with a good amount of spiciness. Akuma Roll was good but was different than I expected. Based on the name I thought it would have a more menacing presentation with a super spicy kick to it, but it was rather tame and too bright in presentation. It has 4 types of fish, avocado, spicy mayo, soy mustard, truffle ponzu sauce, and soy paper. Service seemed efficient as we got our food pretty quickly, despite being busy. However, it took a while for us to get our check at the end.

My hope is that management can use this as constructive feedback to fix some obvious quality control and service issues. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing sushi experiences I've had in the past couple of years. For $22 total ($10 for the standard Tuna Roll and $12 for the standard Eel Roll, not a dragon roll which was I think close to $20 or over), the baseline quality and service just weren't there: * Portions & Value: Both rolls were cut into 5 pieces instead of the standard 8. Paying $22 for a grand total of 10 skimpy pieces is a tough sell on value alone, but the assembly made it worse. The rolls were haphazardly made, falling apart on the plate, and stuffed with minimal fish filling. * Freshness: The fish did not taste fresh and had a strange, off flavor to it--possibly an inventory turnover issue. Freshness is everything at a sushi bar, and having to worry about food safety after a meal is never a good sign. * Kitchen Execution: The $12 Eel roll arrived completely dry without any sauce. The server brought over teriyaki sauce when I had 2 pieces left as if they forgot to put it on. So I drenched the sushi in the sauce to hopefully cover the flavor only to realize he gave me teriyaki sauce for a rice bowl instead of standard unagi/eel sauce. * Management Response: When I brought up to the manager that the eel roll really was not good, she walked back to the kitchen, came back, and simply said, I spoke with the chef and he said it was normal. Bottom Line: Errors happen in restaurants, but brushing off customer feedback, using odd sauce substitutions, and serving loose, dry rolls with questionable fish quality shows a serious need for retraining. Hopefully, management takes a closer look at what's coming out of that kitchen. Look elsewhere in OC for sushi

I want to be clear that we've always enjoyed the food here, although even our most recent meal fell short. The real issue, however, has been the wait times, which have become unreasonable. Today my order was estimated to be ready at 7:15 PM. It is now 8PM and I am still waiting. For context, I placed the order at 6:00 PM. Meanwhile, guests continue to arrive and are being seated. Spending nearly two hours waiting in the lobby for a to-go order--both today and on our last visit--is simply unacceptable. The waitress did offer a free dessert and a gift card, which I declined because, unfortunately, we do not plan on returning. She then offered $20 off the bill. While the gesture was noted, it does little to address the broader issue when the bill is $130 and the wait has been this excessive. If the owners are reading this, please take a serious look at how orders are being managed. If the kitchen cannot handle the volume, online orders should be paused until the system is fixed. This used to be a place we genuinely loved, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. At this point, however, the wait and frustration simply aren't worth it anymore.
