Me and my brothers came here on a Thursday evening and first impression is it's such a humbling cute little sushi/poke shop. The worker was extremely friendly and attentive. There's very limited seating. The setting sets itself more of a takeout situation than a sitting and enjoying your meal. My brothers each ordered their poke bowl and the have come here before and knew it was fresh and delish. It was the same as they remembered it. I ordered the rainbow roll and the volcano roll Rainbow roll - 5/5 was perfectly fresh, you can tell it was never frozen from its taste Volcano roll - 3.5/5 took a bit of time, was not as spicy as I tight even though the description says it's a spicy roll. But still enjoyable. The bottom part was a bit dry from overcook read more

Came here on a weekday around lunch time. Ordering is pretty straight forward and they were generous with portions. Overall, it tasted great! It is a small hole in the wall restaurant, but give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great place for poke! I have been here many times, and finally took a picture of my food before just devouring it. The fish quality here is really fresh, and they have so many options. My typical order is yellowtail, albacore, and salmon and they all taste great. I also really love their variety of sauces and toppings. They give a generous about of food and the pricing is fair! The restaurant is small but there are a few tables inside. They also have a cooler that is always stocked with drinks. This is one of my favorite poke places in Orange County! read more

Amazing service, kindness, taste and speed. A gem. Price is competitive. It seems they don't up charge as much as others. And it tastes fresh. read more

Out of all OC, this is the #1 spot. Most of the staff are great, and I've always gotten fresh fish. Highly recommend checking out the roll menu, since it's easy to miss. The baked salmon roll and red dragon are my personal faves. Really great hole in the wall, 10/10 read more

My favorite Poke place of all time. Mom and pop shop poke bowls and sushi and more! It's perfectly portioned from regular to large with many assortments of fish and proteins! Very friendly service and extremely thankful owners! I can't get enough truly read more

Very generous with their portions which is AWESOME! Quick and friendly service. High quality fish and variety of toppings! read more

Small hole in the wall place located in a semi-busy plaza. This place is more of a to-go since seating is limited. Their prices are great! I ended up getting a large but the large bowl looked more of a medium to me - fish scoops were small (even though it's 5 scoops of fish). Fish was fresh and cold. Brown rice was good. I like supporting small businesses! Come here if you can for poke! read more

Food it great. It would be nice if they cleaned floors and tiles that up against the walls they be been dirty for years. :)

It's been awhile since we've been so we decided to go. Super disappointed. The seasoning has been super watered down. I'd be willing to pay a little more if I knew it tasted good. Can't recommend today read more

Decided to come here for a poke bowl after seeing such great reviews. The pricing here is amazing. 5 proteins for $15 is a steal! the portions were good as well. I am only bummed that there is not a lot of sauce and topping options. I would have loved ponzu sauce and some edamame. The food itself was great. Rice and fish were obviously fresh. Service was fast. The place is a little small which is okay, but gives an awkward space between another customer and I. Would def come back! read more

Poki Ya - poke bowl - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

Most authentic poke bowl in the area. Flavors were on point. Whatever Roll is delicious. Most poke restaurant chains taste too saucy or are overpowered with different flavors. Poki Ya is the perfect balance of ingredients that blend together to make every bite count. Definitely will be back here! read more

Our favorite poke spot because they have sushi rice for the poke bowls and everything is always fresh. Portions are small but the best. Sometimes wish they had more expansive hours read more

2nd time here, amazing great quality food the service is awesome. Come down and eat some fresh Poki. read more

It was my first visit, and I really enjoyed the food. The poke bowl was clean and well-prepared, with generous portions, and the fish was very fresh. They also offer a wide variety of rolls. If you live in the Orange County area, I highly recommend stopping by for a quick and satisfying meal read more

Poki Ya is absolutely amazing! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My boys were actually talking about whether they like In-N-Out or Poki Ya more--and they said Poki Ya is better! That says it all. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and we always have a great experience here. Highly recommend! read more

Fish was warm and it had that nasty fish taste. Also super stingy with their scoops which worked out for me bc I didn't like the food

Love the quality of food and friendly service at a reasonable price. Both the poke bowls and the sushi rolls are delicious!

I had a wonderful experience at this poke restaurant. The ingredients were very fresh, and there were plenty of options to customize my bowl just the way I like it. The fish quality was excellent, and everything tasted clean and flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was quick even during busy hours. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh and delicious poke. read more

SUPER LOWKEY SPOT! You need to try this place! This place had tamago, yellowtail, and scallops for protein options, unlike most poke places. The restaurant also maintains a high level of cleanliness! Though the staff person's first language isn't English, they were incredibly kind and patient, making sure to understand exactly what I needed. The quality of both the food and service was outstanding--10/10 for both. The ambiance also stands out, creating a cozy yet welcoming environment. I've tried several poke places, and this one is easily in my top 3. Very fresh fish, and solid pricing at $15 for a large bowl with 5 scoops of fish. While the restaurant is on the smaller side, I highly recommend trying it for takeout. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Wow great food, good service. Great spot to grab a bite. Pricing wasn't bad either. Will go back!

The poke bowls were really good. Came here for lunch and enjoyed my regular half half bowl. Miso and spicy mayo dressing was suprisingly good. Only 2 tables for dine in, but the place was clean and orderly. Service was quick and simple. Will be back! read more

The quality is consistent, always getting the large poki bowl. Been coming quite often for at least over a year. The price is quite reasonable. The staff is nice. Other customers give radiating feedback when I come in to order which is a testament to the quality Oc the food and service. Small place that can accommodate small parties. More like an eat and run kind of feel. Never issue with parking. They are closed Sundays. read more

Customer service was so amazing. We had found this gem through Yelp and the reviews were amazing, so we gave it a try. Everything was fresh and the gentleman helping was great!! I would recommend to everyone to try it out!! 10/10 read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch with my friends! The price for a large, which is 5 scoops of fish, is 15$ which is great pricing! I shared this with my friend. The fish itself I think is better than most poke places, obviously not comparable to poke that is 20$ but for the price and amount, it's great! We also got the firecracker roll which was a hefty portion that we could share. Personally I loved the miso sauce, highly recommend as it doesn't overpower the fish! There was only one man working, but he was still quick with his work, taking and making orders while making rolls in the back. Check out for a quick poke bite! read more

We had a friend in town and they were craving pokey. We yelped this place and it had good rating so we decided to give it a try. We stopped by around dinner time to place a to-go order. The gentleman who took our order give off the vibe/attitude that we were inconveniencing him. I tried to have some small talk with him, but he was just not having it. I tried asking him if he could recommend any of the sauces. He just mumbled he didn't really have a favorite. I thought that was kind of unusual. I guess he was having a bad day or something. The restaurant is pretty small with two small tables. Not much to sit and eat if you have a large party. Anyways, the food was alright. The fish was fresh and the portions were decent. read more

I had an amazing dining experience at Pokiya. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and all the flavors blended perfectly. The service was quick and friendly. My kids loved this place. I definitely come back again next time! read more

Definitely a local spot to go for. Small shop but very fresh ingredients. Not a lot topping but all basic are there and included. FREE avocado while others charge almost $2. Very welcome owner. Cheap shrimp tempura, and many sushi roll option. Haven't tried sushi but poke bowl is pretty good. Will come back for sushi. read more

The food, 10/10. The service, 10/10. The Ambiance, 20/10. Super yummy rolls and poké bowls. The owner is really obviously dedicated and kind as well as knows his stuff, the fish is cut so clean. NEEDS MORE CUSTOMERS AND ATTENTION!!! Ive had 6-8 poké places ( 2 in Hawaii ) and this is top 3 for sure. Coming back soon and frequently. read more

Poki Ya - Absolutely demolished my 5 scoop poké bowl and salmon roll. So good - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

I was craving poke later in the evening for dinner and found this gem! I went at around 8pm, 30 minutes before closing, and was testing the waters on the freshness since it was so late. I got tuna and it was so good and melted in my mouth! My bowl was loaded to the top too, I wanted to tip even more than I could! Try this amazing spot! read more

Amazing place with amazing staff all around! The portions are also generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are spot on. For the price, it's definitely a great deal. Highly recommend this place read more

First time trying this place and I was disappointed. The bowl was smaller than other places I usually go. Read the reviews and I'm not sure who is giving these 5 stars with what mine was like. The fish was warm, ginger was mixed into the poke, cucumber was sliced so thin and small that it looked and tasted like cabbage. Wasabi was dark green, almost like artificial green. Not sure how it tasted as I picked it out. Sauce was lacking, only 4 flavors, one of which is mayo and other is cream sauce Miso. My husband thought the same thing about this place. Unfortunately I won't return. I'm new to this side of orange and was so hoping this was as good as the ones in my prior area. Boohoo read more

Best poke I've ever had! I really liked how they have an option to add tamago in your bowl. It was also very clear that they prioritized cleanliness which I appreciated because I brought my cousin with me and the fishiness of a poke place didn't bother her for once. Although their first language isn't english, they were very sweet and determined to figure out what I was trying to say. read more

Solidly impressed! The owner was a sweet heart who wanted to ensure we had a wonderful experience. He takes his craft and business very seriously with the quality of ingredient, and it shows! The restaurant is a bit small, so I highly recommend takeout. read more

Genuinely one of my favorite mom and pop restaurants. The owners are so sweet and their poke bowls are consistent and fresh, not to mention their rolls are some of the best I've ever had. I've been coming back to Poki Ya for 8 years and I will continue to for as long as I can. If you're looking for an amazing lunch, stop by Poki Ya and truly feel at home. read more

I got the spicy tuna cut roll and salmon cut roll. Both were only $7 which was pretty cheap to me. Considering they were only $7 each, they were big and filling and also had cucumber inside. The service was polite and quick; I didn't have to wait long to recieve my order. I'd love to get sushi here again! read more

This is probably some of the best poki I have ever had and I'm Japanese!! Service was quick too.

This is the best poki place around. I go here almost every day. They do use seed oils with their sauces so look out but other than that this is the best poki place in OC. read more

Cozy place, ran by two people and it has a more traditional feel. The toppings were pretty fresh, the poki is cut into smaller bites and mixes well with the bowl for a bit of everything with every bite. The sauces they have I total is 4 not a wide variety as other poki places. They don't have hot sauce for us spicy people. The bowl is priced good. Only thing I'd recommend here is to get more different toppings and sauces. Service is really fast here. I'd come back read more
