I am a big fan of poki. I decided to try this place out seeing as it was next to Starbucks. I wasn't disappointed , you get a good amount for a very reasonable price. I got my bowl without protein for $6. The parking is great and they also have more parking in the back. The owner and the young boy who work there are very polite and welcoming. read more

2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 for generous portions and good service. Prices are average. The rice is just regular white rice and not seasoned sushi rice. The shrimp was soggy and lacked flavor. The salad portion was fresh and good. All the other fishes in the poke were fresh. For some reason the sauces lacked a rich flavor I'm used to at other places. Overall a decent poke place and open on early Sunday evenings. read more

Very tasty, good price, and very friendly staff! The fish was super fresh and so were all of the toppings. Don't be off put by the tiny kitchen with an odd smell u see when first entering, I like to think that just shows its extra fresh.

I was so lucky to have found this small hole in the wall one day just driving by! The poke burritos/wraps are to DIE for! I've been by three times and each time the food never disappointed! The gyoza are also VERY good and tasty. The older man is super nice and friendly and puts such a good portion of fish in my burritos! Service is great and even though there is no seating and parking can kind of suck on a busy weekend (especially with the Starbucks right there) I HIGHLY recommend stopping by! Super sad it's a bit of a drive for me otherwise I'd be there every day! :D read more

Yeah, meh. Came in during the COVID-19 pandemic to get food to go. There were a couple people ahead of us and only one guy working the counter. It was slow. Staff was wearing masks and the guy making the bowls was courteous and changed gloves after every bowl. Portions were about what you would expect. To me the fish was not very good. Seems like it had been sitting for a while. One of the customers was not wearing a mask. Staff did not say anything to him. I kept myself and my son as far away from him as possible. It would have been good if the staff had asked the customer to wait outside and they could get his order and take it to him when it was his turn. Then again, the guy looked like he might make an issue of it and a shopkeeper doesn't really need that right now. Anyway, there are better places to get a poke fix. Not inclined to go back. read more

Really delicious Poke bowls, fresh ingredients. However, I just had a very odd experience coming in at around 1:15 PM on a Sunday. There was only one young man working and he kept checking over his shoulder, and was clearly irritated. I asked how long it would take to make Gyoza, to which his replied that "I can't make it at all, because I'm supposed to be doing something else." He then kinda just pretended nothing was wrong but I realized he probably couldn't make anything on the menu...besides raw stuff, which was the poke bowls. I have no idea what was happening but hopefully it was just a bad day for the employee... read more

This was a 'Just Ok' poké bowl. The shop is really tiny. I'm assuming this is more of a takeaway place anyway. They were following covid protocols and only allowed 4-5 people in the store at once. I arrived before noon and didn't have to wait long, once I left however, there was a growing line of customers from surrounding businesses. Approx. 5 more people, definitely a lunch spot. I ordered a large bowl w/t salmon, tuna, and yellow tail. I always get the house sesame or ponzu sauce on the fish and elect a spicier sauce on the side, in order to taste the seafood. That being said, the tuna had zero flavor. A warning regarding the freshness/quality of the seafood should have been the scallops on the line, they were looking very dry and even slightly browned on the edges. Another thing, once I paid I noticed about 4 bowls for call in/pick up orders just sitting on the counter. I don't know how long they were sitting there, but not a good look regardless. All in all ill, it was a quick & filing lunch but far from memorable. I checked this off my Poké list and will move on. read more

After my trip to the gym, I was disappointed Acai Joint closed down. In search of a nearby lunch spot, Yelp helped direct me to Poki Ya. This small poke joint is behind Starbucks, in the same plaza as the Mongolian and Subway restaurants, off of Chapman Ave. Parking can be tough if Starbucks gets busy. Reviews were somewhat hit or miss, it seemed like. I was so hungry I didn't mind. When I got there, I noticed how small the place was. There were only a couple of tables available for seating. The menu is clear and up top. Japanese pop music was playing. The server was kind but did not say much. He started out by asking if I wanted a bowl and how many scoops of fish. When I told him I wanted white rice, he scooped some in the bowl and checked with me if the amount was ok. I liked that. They have several types of fish to choose from. I got tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. I don't remember how the tuna was, but the yellowtail was not bad. I wasn't sure what sauce to choose, so the guy put in some miso and sesame shoyu. The mixture wasn't bad, but I think it could have been better or stronger. I think they have a limited variety of toppings, but I like that they include avocado. You would only have to pay additional $1 if you asked for extra avocado. Most other poke places will charge for getting avocado at all. I'm not sure I enjoy the vibe here. It seems to fit in with the other local businesses here in Orange. It's good for a quick lunch or dinner to go, but not a good place for sit down meals. Ask for a stamp card if you plan on becoming a frequent flyer here. You get the 10th bowl free! read more

Another poke place has set up shop in small center with Starbucks. More like 3.5 stars, but since their a new business, I'll round up. Their concept is about the same as other poke places where you choose 3 ($8.50) or 5 ($10.50) scoops of fish, a base of white or brown rice, salad, chips, or a wrap in soy paper. Your toppings include avocado, crabmeat, onions, and cucumbers which are all free. They have a lot of different seafood options which include salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, yellowtail, octopus, albacore, shrimp, or crabmeat. Then you choose your sauce which are spicy mayo, sesame shoyu, miso, or hot chili sauce. I opted for a bowl with three scoops over white rice with salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna and with a combination of the spicy mayo and shoyu sauce. I like that they give you free avocado here and it's not an extra cost. The sauce combination I chose really complemented each other and gave my bowl a slight spicy kick. Overall the bowl I had was good, but not the best. The fish seemed relatively fresh. I felt like the amount of rice they gave was a bit small. On their menu, they also have sides like seaweed, gyoza, miso soup, and different sushi rolls you can order. Service was very helpful and sweet. He even gave me a bowl of miso soup for being a first time customer. They also give you a stamp card where your 10th bowl will be free. This is a very small shop with maybe 7 seats inside and a couple tables outside if you opt to dine in. read more

I'm not sure why this place is getting such rave reviews for their poke - maybe I went on a off-day? I came here for lunch on a Wednesday and other than one person ahead of me, this place was empty. The owners/workers are friendly - I'll give them that. The poke bowl - despite the many different offerings and toppings - seemed flavorless. I had three scoops of salmon, got all the toppings except for wasabi, and selected spicy mayo for the sauce. The fish tasted fresh, and it comes with your first scoop of avocado for free, but the bowl itself was flavorless. The only differences in the bowl was the texture of the different pieces - and I wasn't sick either, so I know it wasn't me. I was bit disappointed because I had recently transferred to a new workplace nearby and away from my favorite poke lunch spot (Poke Tiki near CHOC), and wanted to find a relatively decent place nearby. I'll probably give them another shot or maybe try their sushi rolls before I never look back - this immediate area has a lot of different options, but the owners/workers were friendly, so they definitely deserve a second visit. read more

Pretty good! Small place inside with only 7 seats. Ordered a regular bowl $9 which came with 3 scoops of fish. I like the option of half and half chips and rice, because too much rice makes the meal bland. Got the albacore, salmon, and yellowtail. Their fish tasted fresh, sauces were good, and they were not stingy on the meat! I like how a scoop of avocado is not extra as well! A good spot if you're craving poke! read more

This place is my go-to fast poke spot when I don't want to go far from home. I've been coming here for awhile now because the staff is very friendly and they have also been giving me free miso soup! They also have a cute water dispenser that has cold and hot water. The place is pretty small and there are about 2-3 tables. No restrooms. They were generous with the fish portions and the first scoop of avocado is included! The fish is usually fresh. They mix the sauce in with the fish so everything is evenly coated. Highly recommend this place if you want good portions and fresh fish. read more

I love Hawaiian food and have my favorite spots for legit grindz on four of the islands (5 if you count Las Vegas!), not to mention all the places sprinkled throughout the mainland. I'm not a snob but I appreciate fresh ingredients made with aloha. Unfortunately, da kine here had neither. The place is easy enough to find, just off Tustin in a plaza, right next to a Subway. The inside was dim and quiet. There was only one other couple in there, who walked in just before us. My +1 ordered the loco moco. She got overcooked patties, runny eggs and prepackaged gravy in a separate container. I ordered the combo with short rib, barbecue beef and chicken. It tasted like it was cooked in old grease and was bland despite the teriyaki sauce. My keiki (mini +1) got the teriyaki chicken with macaroni salad and didn't want to eat it. It didn't sit right with any of us. As some other reviewers mentioned, I don't think it was made fresh. I came hoping for 'ono but all I found was "oh no." The plates were full, but what's the point of choke portions if you just gonna choke on it? No thanks. Edit: I originally left two stars, but after the whole ohana (family) had upset stomachs all night, had to drop it.

Inside. A ton of seating.

I do often visit and give…read morepatronage to this establishment, and with the highest regard to the amazing staff and ownership of this palace of flavor and soul; they are miracle makers. I will highly recommend the thai food which they have available, and at my best guess, overlooked. The red curry is sensational and sublime, I will eat again without a doubt. The poke bowls are delicious and scrumptious. The dining area is charming and easy to fall into comfort, so many ornaments to showcase and any lover of anime will agree. The service and hospitality are beyond a golden standard, it is a privilege to experience. Only the the very wise and rare shall step foot in this sacred place and know nirvana.

The Welcoming Feeling, The Intimacy, Just Everything About It Feels Like Home. Dining In Is A Must To Experience The Feeling. They Also Offer To-Go. The Food Is Even Better. It's A Good Size Menu. I Ordered A Few Things. The BE MINE Sushi Roll, Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, And A POKE BOWL. Everything I Had Was BOMB! The Flavors Were THERE! The Pad Thai And Pad See Ew Was Better Than Alot Of Thai Places That Serves Those Dishes. Yes. The Menu Might Seem Small Compared To Other Places, But I Feel That's Enough. Would I Return? Hell Yeah I Would! I'm Planning To Go Back To Order The Other Stuff. Oh, I Forgot To Mention The Water. The Water Is AMAZING! Yes. So Good. Sorry, I'm Big On Water. The Best Part, They Serve It In A Glass! This Place Might Just Be My To Go Spot. So, If You Happen To Be In The Area, Or Passing By Off The 22 Fwy, You Have To Stop By. I Always Love Supporting Small Businesses Like These. So, Stop By And Have Your Own Experience.

I've gotta give The Poke Co some serious credit, they've absolutely won me over…read more If I'm being honest, I used to walk in a little skeptical. Like a lot of poke spots, there were times in the past where the fish portions felt... light. Tiny scoops, lots of rice, and you leave wishing you got what you paid for. That was my early experience, and it kept me from coming as often as I wanted. But something has definitely changed, and in the best way possible. Lately, every single visit has been stacked. I'm talking generous, heaping scoops of fish, perfectly balanced bowls, and portions that actually feel worth the price. You can see it while they're building your bowl, they're not skimping. It's consistent, too, which matters. Nothing worse than loving a spot one day and being disappointed the next. Quality is on point, everything tastes fresh, and the amount of food you get now is honestly impressive. I leave full every time, sometimes with leftovers, which never used to happen. If you haven't been in a while, go back. If portion size ever held you back before, I can confidently say: it's no longer an issue. The Poke Co is doing it right.

I come here often since it's near my work. I really wanted to post this review so I can show…read moreeveryone how great my bowl looked. I got a small bowl but the worker packed it so well. Chef's kiss! The service here is fast. Even if they are working on online orders, they make sure to tend to the customers in person first. Everyone is sweet too and they give you extra sauce in the side if you ask. I've eaten inside a few times too and the ambiance is fine. Definitely recommend if you are so the area

Like, who approved this level of convenience?? Because now I have to rely on self-control, and let me tell you... I feel im losing that battle on da daily.. The food? Dangerous. Addictive. Disrespectfully good. My top 3 that have me coming back like I owe them rent: The Works bowl - literally everything you want in one bowl, no regrets, just vibes Grilled shrimp taco - elite, no notes Fish taco - fresh, flavorful, soooooo good!! Staff: hella cool across the board. Everyone's friendly, welcoming, and excellent energies.. But Karina?? MVP status. She put me on to different sauces, guided my order like a true pro, and basically made sure I didn't fumble my meal Appreciate you Karina!!! you're the real one Also, parking is easy (rare W), the inside is spacious, and they've got an outdoor patio which is chef's kiss. On a fresh day, sitting outside, breeze hitting, eating a fish taco... you start reflecting on life Overall: 10/10 food, 10/10 people, 0/10 for my bank account. If you live nearby... I wish you strength

They have all the toppings you'll ever need to feel satisfied. I like that their price is just $15 (regular), lower than my previous favorite place, Poki Monster ($18). I just wish they didn't waste ordering forms for customers to fill out what they want in their bowl. I mean, just tell the staff what to fill. No need for wasting paper honestly!
