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

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

Amazing food as always. We have never received anything less than superb service. The owner is so sweet and thoughtful. If you're thinking about trying Poki Ya - do it! You will not regret it. Definitely the best Poki/ Sushi spot in Orange! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Tried this place for the first time 6 months ago and haven't been able to try any other poke since (trust i have tried). The poke is just soooooooo good here it quite literally makes me want to shed a tear. I come here at least twice a week and am still not over it! I truly do love this place and recommend it to everyone. read more

The food was amazing! I ordered a bowl with brown rice. The rice texture was perfect and all of the seafood and spring mix was fresh and delicious. And, unlike other poki places, they toss the seafood options with sauce, making sure the flavors are evenly dispersed in the bowl. Also, the flakes they added on top of the bowl were sublime. Easily some of the best poki I've ever had. If youre in the area, I urge you to give them a try. I'd leave 15 out of 5 stars if I could. I will be back soon! read more

This review is based on a visit from a couple of years ago, and I definitely did not expect to find tasty poke in a janky, desolate plaza. But! I'm glad I dropped by, as I was pleasantly surprised to get a 5-star 5-scoops-of-poke bowl for a decent price. The elderly gentleman who helped me with my order was so endearing, answering my questions about getting half rice and half salad, flavors of different sauces, etc. AND he washed his hands before putting new gloves on to start my order! I rarely see staff at food establishments physically do this before gloving up or barehandedly touching utensils, so I appreciate the mindfulness towards hygiene haha. Customer service = A+. The shop was very small, with no seating available. Menu is simple, which is a good thing. It has the standard bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces that don't overwhelm you but still give you a solid amount of options. Not a lot of poke places offer yellowtail, so it was nice to see yellowtail here. I just wish that this spot would be closer to me, but I believe the trip here is worth it. I crave yummy, affordable, clean poke at least once a week, so I'll be coming back! read more

The best Poki ive had in a while And the prices are amazing for what you get! Totally recommend them

I revisited it and can say that this is hands down the BEST poke restaurant I've visited across LA and OC!!!!. The freshness of the fish used in the poke bowls is exceptional, and the sauce combinations are flawless. I was particularly impressed with their sushi rolls; not only are they generously sized, but they are also SUPER delicious! As a sushi person, I can confidently say that the sushi here rivals that of high-end Japanese restaurants. The Korean chef is also nice and friendly, serving foods so fast!! Highly recommend this place! read more

I have been coming here for years. Poke is second to none. Sushi is in point. Service is excellent. More of a to go spot then sit down.

Wow! Legit hard to find a good poke spot around. I got the regular bowl for $13.98 out the door. That's cheap compared to all the other places. I've paid up to $17 for a bowl. Best part? You get avocado with no up charge. The quality of the fish is FRESSHHH. This place is located in the small shopping center where the Starbucks is across the high school field. When I tell you this place scratched this itch? Oh it scratched it and I cannot wait to come back. Wish I would have gotten the larger bowl hehe. The gentleman that helped me was so kind too! If you're on the hunt for a good poke spot, this is it! read more

This was so good I had lots of poki but never one this good it was definitely delicious

The fish tastes & looks super fresh! It's priced well for the portion size. Very yummy, I'd come back.

I really like this place!! I have been coming here for over 5 years and rarely do they disappoint. I like my poke "Hawaiian" style and always have them put everything directly onto the rice. For example.. I get the small bowl with brown rice, no crab meat, no cucumber, yes white onion, yes avocado, one scoop of spicy tuna, one scoop of seared albacore and one scoop of yellowtail, topped with extra crispy onions and ginger with a 2 sides of ponzu. Normally they mix all of the fix-ins and add ontop of the rice. Don't forget a can Hawaiian Sun drink (I get the lilikoi passion). read more

Poki Ya - I get extra extra crispy onions!! - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

LOCATION: Chapman/Prospect PARKING: A lot in front of the store. Not hard to find. WHAT WE ORDERED: * Regular Poke Bowl (3 scoops of fish) ($10.99) I'm not sure who is giving this place five stars, but I've tried A LOT of poke spots, and this is the worst one I have been to. The flavor was lacking in every part of the bowl, and my boyfriend and I both agreed on our respective bowls. The only thing that had taste was the imitation crab and my sauce (hot chili). The rice was very mushy, and the fish was soft and a bit warm (probably has been sitting out for a while?). The bowls are pretty small too, but it is somewhat reasonable for the price. Maybe their sushi is better. I love trying new poke spots, but unfortunately, this one did disappoint. read more

Great poke and sushi roll spot! Definitely one of my local spots to go to. Worth a try when in the area. read more

Delicious!! I was impressed how tasty and fresh my bowl was. The service was quick and the lady was nice. I will be back for sure

Finally, I had a chance to try this place. If i'll be honest it was tasty but i was lucky to get large size while the 5 scoops mean 2.5 scoops and have...I've never see something like this before...basically, the guy was filling half of the scope for two bowls that i order. Definitely, I'm not going back to this place...So over priced for Poke like this..Even my bowl in the picture is not full... read more

This place is amazing, hands down, best poki place in Orange County! The people who run this are absolutely delightful! The salmon (in the bowl, the sashimi, or the roles) is akin to a Krispy Kreme doughnut, it melts in your mouth. The large bowl is worth the price for the amount of food they give you, I ask for a smaller amount of rice, but even then, my bowl looks full and yummy! They never skimp out on anything, and their scoop size is plentiful! read more

Poki Ya - nice employee - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

I've been on a poke kick and have been trying a bunch of different places. I have a favorite in Buena Park (Pole Time) and compare everyone to them. I'm happy to find that Poki Ya comes very close. I like that a large gives you 5 fish choices. I also like that crab meat is included (some places don't and that's ridiculous). I would've liked a few more sauce choices but miso was pretty good (I don't like spice). All in all, the poke bowl I put together was delicious and I will be back! read more

Good poke! Offers the classic toppings and the fish was definitely fresh. Affordable prices too. Would recommend if you're in the area and craving poke. read more

Poki Ya - Updated Menu 5/23/20 - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! We read the reviews and stopped in based on what we read. We ordered poke bowls and the rice was hot, the fish tasted fresh and the Sesame Shoyu sauce was good! You could taste it but it wasn't overpowering and it added to the flavor of the fish instead of taking away. Husband ordered a Spicy Tuna Tempura roll and was in heaven! His exact words were "That sh!t was effing bomb!" My husband is very picky and hypercritical so that roll must have been good! read more

Poki Ya - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

This is by far my favorite lunch place and favorite poke place! I go here probably once a week usually. The owners are so sweet and friendly! I love all the choices of fish and the layers are way better than any poke place! They have crunchy onions and great sauces that don't over power the fish at all-it's just all so wonderful! I also love that they have shrimp chips available and rolls when you're not in the mood for a bowl. read more

Love love love poke and when I discovered this place was so close to home, I was very excited. However, my first visit was a bad one. I felt the portions were really small and I just wasn't satisfied. I have tried a lot of different poke places and this one did not live up to my standards. However, because it was so close to home, I didn't want to give up just yet. So, I tried again... And 3 more times later I am not impressed with this poke joint! Maybe the first time I was there, they just had an off day. The fish is fresh, they do not charge extra for avocado (a HUGE plus in my book) and it is clean inside. My only complaint is that I wish they had more choices in toppings. I normally get my regular poke bowl, which comes with 3 choices of protein, with the shoyu and hot chili sauce. The guy said that was the most popular and I see why - it is so yummy! The regular size bowl is about $10, which is pretty standard for most poke places. I get my bowl with half greens, half brown rice and typically with the same protein - spicy tuna, seared albacore and salmon. All the fishes are fresh and not fishy! The employees are really nice and friendly. No bullshit and straight to the point which makes the service very fast! The inside is super small so I always take my bowls to go. Parking has always been easy for me but I can see it getting cray cray especially with a gym right next door and a Starbies. I will keep coming back here because it is oh so close to home! Try it too, if you are in the hood. read more

The food is great. The place is a little too small for my liking though. The service was excellent however and I would definitely visit again. read more

Poki Ya is my favorite poke joint in all of Orange County. For me, it really comes down to the sauces and the premium toppings offered and Poki Ya hits the spot for me. The shop itself is VERY small. There are only two four-tops inside and two two-tops outside. Quite frankly, this is honestly just a place where you grab your poke bowl and go. It's a very popular shop and more than likely there will be a line of some sort (but they can usually get though it in about 5 min) but it's certainly worth the wait. One thing I'd like to try at some point are their rolls. I hear some of them are to-die-for, but since their poke bowls are already amazing, it's hard for me to make that drive down here and not get the bowl! Poki Ya has a loyalty card where you get the 11th bowl free, so you know that with great customer service and amazing food I'll certainly come back and redeem my voucher in no time!

This place is fantastic! My daughter and I come in for Poké at least twice a week. They are always friendly, everyone is masked and the poke is amazing. I'm shocked they aren't busier as they truly are on of the best places for poke around. Their sauces are fantastic and their salmon like butter. You won't be disappointed. They have rolls too which are fantastic! I'd love it if they started a frequent flyer reward card - buy 10 get one free.. read more
