Stopped into PokiDoki on a whim, was interested in some Poki and I have seen the restaurant as I have come and gone from Costco. Overall it was just okay. The prices are not terrible, I have seen more expensive but keep in mind that the scoops are very small. The fish was good overall and the toppings are pretty much standard everywhere. What drove the score down a bit was like what some other reviewers have said. The rice was hard in some places and did not seem fresh at all. It was not a terrible experience but not sure if I would return. read more

Happy to find a local Poke place close to home! Came in on a Thursday after 12PM, little bit of a line, I'm guessing it was lunch rush hour. Two employees were managing the food line and they did so well. They were very friendly, patient, efficient, and worked fast to help get the line moving. And even the gentleman in the back was checking to see what refills were needed on the line. Great team effort! Wish I got their names. Food was really good, worth the price. Fish was fresh which is major key! Most definitely will be coming back Thank you PokiDoki read more

PokiDoki - 3 Scoops: Salmon and Tuna with half white rice and salad - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

The bowls were too small for the portions. It made it too hard to mix the ingredients together without spilling over the bowl.

This place was so good! I got a bowl with tuna, white rice, green onions, fish eggs, avocado, sesame oil, original poke sauce, sesame seeds, and furikake. BOMB. It was so good I didn't even get to take a picture of it LOL. The people here were so nice!!! My baby sister got a California musubi which she loved. Fish was really fresh and veggies were nice and crisp. read more

Good food. Fast service. Giant portion for what I ordered... Only slight let down was that the spam musubi was pretty lackluster. Should have had a thicker cut of spam and maybe a lil house sauce or something. The dressings were good. Yes, I've had fresher fish, but it was still good. I really liked the sauces. And like I said I couldn't believe the portions of fish they gave me for being the same price as all other poke places. I would eat here again next time I'm in the area. read more

amazing food was great workers also great fresh and delish would return again with friends and family

I love this place so much lol. I'm ashamed to say I went 3 days in a row once. Everything that I have tried has been fresh. The employees are all very nice and helpful. Definitely my go to Poki spot. read more

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Maybe it used to be worse but I eat here regularly while I charge my Tesla. The staff is always welcoming, the environment is comforting, and I always love my food every time. Great portions too. read more

Clean location and fresh food. :) Prices are great too (other places I go to charge $16 for two scoops), not here though. :D Conveniently close to my gym too. Also a thank you to Kaira for serving me kindly and patiently from beginning to end despite my endless questions. read more

First visit here, there were many customers and I did not mind waiting. I ordered a small bowl. I liked the taste of the raw fish and the sauces. I was happy I saw this place since I am a senior who just came from work. So, I returned a few weeks later, about an hour before closing time and i ordered same small bowl....this time, I was the only customer eating inside the restaurant. When I was done, I threw my small empty bowl trash carefully in the wastebasket. I was surprised that the server came to me and was a bit upset i threw my trash in it. She spoke to me like an employee, giving me directions. She said that "this wastebasket is only for smaller trash like paper, plastic spoons. She said NEXT TIME, throw your trash over there ok?" (pointing to a bigger trash bin). She doesn't realize there will be NO next time. This is it. I have never encountered such. Never will I return. read more

I love this place! They give a good amount of fish and I love all their options. They have a good quality fish. I love their house sauce. I highly recommend their poke! read more

Terrible, a medium bowl costing around $13 gets you about what seems like 1 1/2 scoops of protein. Not even enough spring mix for a rabbit let alone a $13 bowl. I can't imagine how much would be in there if there was rice too. Don't go here, the 4 stars is misleading. Go somewhere else and save your time. I never yelp unless the food is terrible or amazing and this is not amazing. read more

PokiDoki - The amount of food in here for $13 "medium bowl" is a joke - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

Delicious Poki bowl & super friendly staff! Of course I had to go with the largest sized bowl. The menu/steps make it super easy for you to get through the line. Step 1: white rice, brown rice, salad greens, or chips (or go half and half). Step 2: Octopus, tuna, spicy tuna, crab mix, salmon (your protein). Step 3: seaweed salad, cucumber, green onions, sprouts, onions, ginger, jalapenos, etc. Then you can choose all the different types of sauces that you would like in your bowl. They also have the sauces near the drink station in case you would like to add more. You can go mild or spicy....just keep adding! The bowl prices are comparable to most Poki places. Everything was fresh and I didn't feel so guilty after eating everything in the bowl, especially when I added so much sauce to my bowl. There's plenty of seating, either indoor or outside. There's definitely a lot of options on Katella, but PokiDoki will probably get my business every time i'm in the area. Plenty of parking in this shopping center. No worries there. read more

I work down the street so i have been coming about once a week for the last few months. The food is good quality but the service is lacking. The employees all seem bothered to help you and make you feel you stupid if you dont order a certian way. A girl today was complaining about something mumbling the f word while right in front of me. Good food, not great service. read more

I ordered their poke through Doordash for the first time! After reading the Yelp reviews, I was pretty nervous because everyone was complaining about the serving size and sauce amount. I ordered a medium poké bowl with tuna, salmon, and crab salad. When I received my bowl, it was filled to the brim. Every component tasted delicious, so I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried that they'd drench my bowl or provide too little, so I requested to put the sauces in separate containers. This way, I'd be able to utilize the amount of sauce I want in the bowl. If you don't mind having sauce on the side, I would suggest to do so! Overall, I had a really good meal! I would order from this place again. read more

PokiDoki - Medium Poke Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

Came in about 3:30pm on a Wednesday. Car was charging so I figured I'd grab a bite. Salomon and tuna was fresh but other fishes were visually dried and not fresh as advertised. Mentioned it to the employee and got no response. Praying I don't get food poisoning. Nothing worse then getting fish that doesn't look fresh. Scary. Portions were small too. Would not recommend. read more

If i could give TEN STARS I would! First time trying this place, I ordered off Uber eats, it was so BOMB. The fish is so fresh and taste just right, their portions for the toppings and sauce was on point and it arrived quickly and delicious. Im super satisfied with my order. read more

Decided to go here after work with my coworker since we've been craving poke! It was both our first time here and the guy working (sorry I didn't catch your name) was super friendly. The menu above was step by step making it easier for others to order. We both got a medium since we weren't sure if we had time to eat a large. The fish was fresh and I love the variety of sauces they had to offer. Along with that, you get free miso soup when you check in! If you want extra sauces, they have sauces near the drink section. I went and got more spicy mayo/eel sauce for my bowl! Will definitely be back since this will be my new go to poke place when I'm around the area. *ask for a stamp card! :) read more

PokiDoki - Medium bowl w/ free miso soup check in - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

The scoop portions are surprisingly small. I ordered a medium and wanted to walk out when I saw them scoop the proteins. Employees were ok. Probably won't be coming back again, I rather go to Uroko down the street. I only went here because I was charging my Tesla. read more

Great place to grab a bite! Excellent service, indoor and outdoor dining, and a good selection of raw and cooked fish for your bowl. We have visited for lunch, and recommend it. read more

All the ingredients tasted fresh and delicious i just wish the rice was softer. The service was great and quick

It's been almost 3 years since coming here. Still just as tasty competitive pricing daily specials and good portions and charge on avocado and seaweed salad for first scoops! Very pleasant service indeed! read more

Staff was very nice and Poke bowl is decent but over priced but I dont know what kinda of sad excuse for a sushi is this... Rice was sour and mushy. I think 7/11 has better sushi. DO NOT order the sushi roll. Everything else is just decent, large poke bowl was the same size as regular but with an extra scoop of protein. read more

When i went the relaxing vibe with jazz playing was super comforting as i was eating my food. Prices arent that expensive and service was welcoming read more

TERRIBLE service. Went in to order a Large bowl and a Regular bowl. Midst taking order, the employee that was serving us got distracted talking with another employee. He started talking very poorly of other customers, passing judgement based on online orders. It was rather uncomfortable. He was so distracted speaking ill, that he put in only 2 scoops of protein in the Large bowl. There is very clearly less in the Large than the Regular. Don't be talking poorly of others when you can't do your own job of scooping fish properly. If you need help counting, use the fingers in your hand to count to 4. Because customers can and will speak poorly of you as well. read more

great spot!! me and my wife been looking for another spot since poki bomb closed on valley view and ball. so happy we found our spot. chris who worked there was super nice!! cant wait to eat again! read more

I ordered from this restaurant for the first time through DoorDash so I didn't know what to expect but it was pretty disappointing.. I ordered a lot of the sauces but I did not expect my bowl to come drenched with sauce. It felt more like soup and the rice they used in both my bowl and musubi were old rice. I could tell because the rice was hard and a bit stale. And the spam in my musubi was a tiny sliver sandwiched in between thick chunks of stale and hard rice. I ultimately ended up throwing out my food without finishing either of them read more

I was at the Costco down the street and decided to checkout this new Poke spot. The concept is the same as all the other million pop up poke places with the build your own poke bowl. Parking is plenty in the same plaza as 24 hour fitness! When you walk in, you're greeted right away by the staff which is nice. This place however is a little more pricey compared to other poke spots. Their price for 4 scoops is the same as a large (5 scoop) elsewhere which is a no no for me. I would understand if their fish was amazing quality or something, but that wasn't the case. They have plenty of protein options, but the quality wasn't there. Their seared tuna had a fishy taste to it and was super mushy I thought I was gonna get sick from it. They also don't offer YELLOWTAIL OR SPICY TUNA which is usually a standard at most other poke joints! The only thing that separates them is that they offer eel sauce and onion garlic sauce as options. The onion garlic sauce is really good! Also, instead of mixing the fishes and sauce together in a bowl like other places, they just drizzle on the sauces on top of your bowl/salad at the end. I didn't like this concept cause the fish isn't able to soak up the sauce. They're also pretty stingy in portions for the toppings and fish scoops. I love supporting new businesses, but this place didn't cut it for me and I wouldn't go out of my way to return even for a postworkout meal from the gym. read more

After repeated visits at our normal Poke spot, we decided to try this new spot down in Cypress. We just happened to be driving by and outta the corner of my eye, I spotted the word Poke. I got so excited! So we pulled into the 24 hour fitness lot and and parked it. The first thing that caught my eye was that the large bowl came with 4 scoops of fish when we're normally used to 5 scoops for the same price. The concern of one less scoop didn't last long as Ian made our bowl with generous scoops in my opinion. We totally thanked him for that. Let's just say every time we have Poke, it just gets better and better. It just tasted so fresh and healthy...making me want to eat it 24/7! The restaurant looked pretty new and clean and I especially appreciated the glass that covered the fish and sides from the customers. read more

PokiDoki - Large Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

Brand new poke joint in Cypress/Los Al and they had their grand opening today and gave free medium size bowls. Yea, a free bowl. WTH? Kudos to you as nobody does that. The poke bowl was delish. Everything tasted fresh which is one of the most important factors in poke of course. Been waiting to try since I seen the sign while driving by and it did not disappoint. Cheers to a new poke place in my hood. I, too agree that I wish the sauce was mixed in the fish rather than poured on top at the end as another reviewer mentioned. This place is right next to Los Al race track in the same center as 24Hr Fitness and Office Depot. read more

Well, I have to say welcome to Cypress PokiDoki! I love Poke and this place being next to Costco (Ironically they recently offered it prepacked on weekends), would visit here for a healthy alternative anytime! Their recent Grand Opening had FREE, yes FREE medium size Poke bowls ( reg. 8.50 for 3 items) in which you can pick your base from chips, salad, white rice, or brown rice. Then you pick your proteins from albacore, tuna, salmon, shrimp, scallops, eggs. The avocado and imo crabmeat is standard. Extra avo is $1 more. Then you pick your toppings. I just pick all cuz pretty much it's everything I want, including wasabi. To finish, you pick your sauce. I have to say, I think this place is Korean owned and I'm a little disappointed in the sauce. It's not spicy at all in any way for the spicy version. The regular sauce just tasted like sweet soy sauce. I noticed on the 2nd day they gave out less on the bowl. I'm not complaining, I'm still grateful to have tried your poke bowl for free and your pokinade which has chunks of strawberry and basil. I do wish the lemon sour intensity was more because it tasted a little watered down for me. But thank goodness you do offer sweet green tea next to the soda dispenser. I do like the size of the fish chunks here, it's not big nor terribly small. Your servers were friendly with a smile so that in itself was sign for me to come back. Oh yeah, the blurring loud music when I was there pretty much gave away that the owners were Korean. If you ever been to those KBBQ places, you know what I'm talking about! read more

It pains me to leave such a low rating for what used to be my family's favorite place to satisfy our poke cravings. Poki Doki was one of the earliest poke places that popped up in the area when poke started to become widely known, and they never failed to deliver with their friendly service and generous portions. Plus we liked their variety of sauces and how there was no extra charge for a scoop of avocados! This was the place that got my parents into the Poke bowl craze, and unfortunately, during our last visit during the Labor Day weekend, we were quite disappointed. In these COVID-19 times, it's questionable whether it's as safe as before to consume raw fish or not. Some of our concerns were that the fish wouldn't be fresh, and the establishments would not be strictly enforcing cleanliness and safety guidelines; however, judging from the most recent reviews, there was nothing but great praise, so we thought, maybe we were just being overly cautious. After all, why would businesses try to jeopardize themselves when business has noticeably slowed down? It was Labor Day weekend, and it was announced that there was going to be a heat wave. It felt like the perfect time to get some poke to refresh ourselves from the heat. We were excited and entered the establishment only to find that there was no AC running, which at this point, we should have known better to just walk away. I'm not sure if the AC happened to not be working that day or if they were scheduled for an AC outage, but we naively thought that perhaps they had a back up plan in case such a situation happened. And honestly, a lot of establishments have made changes and improvements due to this whole COVID-19 thing so I assumed there would be some changes here as well. We walked up to place our orders, and as soon as the worker was filling up the base of our bowls, we looked over to the selection of seafood, and you could tell it had been sitting in the room without AC for a long time. Despite no AC running, there was absolutely nothing done to ensure the fish maintained its freshness, and worst of all, there was a fly going around the fish, and was particularly in favor of the yellowtail, but who knows when it had contaminated the salmon, tuna, shrimp or the scallops? Had there been covers for the seafood and sides, this issue wouldn't have been so bad. Honestly surprised they didn't start implementing covers for everything since COVID-19 came to light. We honestly should have walked away at this point, but this was our favorite poke place and we were honestly too flabbergasted to react properly. The only thing that had covers was the toppings, everything else was pretty much left in the open. To top it off, the worker handling our order was all over the place. It felt like I was watching a movie in slow-mo. We tried to be understanding and figured it might have been the heat wave that was throwing him off, so we just shrugged it off. We left the joint extremely disappointed because this experience was unlike our past experiences with this establishment. We ended up just trashing our order because we did not want to risk getting sick from it. If I happened to go visit when their AC broke, then I hope they can better prepare for unexpected situations in the future because there are plenty of other poke joints around the area, and it would be saddening to know if they lost more loyal customers/potential business due to lack of preparedness. read more

-The customer service was terrible. -The person helping me picked food from the counter and put it in my bowl. When I asked him why he did that he argued that he denied it. -not a large variety to pick from. -highly recommend trying other poki places close by, as this one lacked everything. read more

5 Stars for this poke joint! Found this little poke shop by accident on yelp, called and asked if they were open then decided to stop by -- and we are so glad we did. Fantastic service and food. The woman who assisted us was incredibly nice and patient, considering this was our first visit. She explained their process and offerings, and also made personal suggestions on which sauces pair well together. By the way, the sesame oil is a game changer!! Why haven't I had it before? We each both had a small (2 scoops fish) and were very full and satisfied. For like $2-3 you can turn your bowl into a combo and they have some interesting drink options. New favorite place! They are exercising proper COVID precautions and also do delivery. Highly recommend! read more

I'm giving this place two stars, the reason for that is the customer service was okay, and the portions kinda suck. I asked what kind of sauces they have and I was all the way at the end and the cashier told me I can read the sign all the way at the other end. I've worked customer service before and she could've just told me instead of me having to squint my eyes to see which ones they have. The portions were okay I got the three scoop and felt like I didn't receive that much protein in my bowl. Which is a big bummer to me. read more

Serving was so little and employee is is not enthusiastic with her job. at all. never coming back.

My go-to poke place whenever I'm in the area. Delicious food, clean space, and great customer service. There is musubi and miso soup for the crazies who aren't into fish. I was supposed to take a picture before I started, but I get so excited about these bowls. My bad. read more

To begin, I want to thank Xochitl for the patience and kindness shown towards me inasmuch as I had never eaten poki until TODAY. Xochitl took the time to explain the ordering process (in making a bowl) and she provided me with samples of each item that I requested. Second, I have seen friends enjoy poki bowls that were larger for the price of small at Poki Doki ($10.95 for a small bowl is pricey)! Hence, for this reason I have only given Poki Doki three stars. Third, I did find the poki bowl that I created quite yummy: spicy tuna, crab meat, seaweed, cucumbers, ginger, and 1/2 sushi rice and salad. Finally, I may return to PokiDoki IF I am in the area; however, I do want to try other poki restaurants that are not as expensive for a small bowl. Thank you, PokiDoki, for my introduction to the WORLD of POKI (there's soooooo many poki restaurants out there)! read more

When I'm running my food deliveries in the area, I'm always stopping by Poki Doki for customers who orders from this place. After I called it a day, I decided to try them out for lunch. Poki Doki is located at a shopping center, next to the Los Alamitos Racetrack. Just a heads up guys; in my opinion they have plenty of parking due to what is going on. I met Monica earlier and she was very welcoming and acknowledged me coming in; BIG Plus. So What attracted me was their fresh selection of ingredients and variety. So I went ahead and ordered the Large Bowl, which comes with 4 scoops of your protein that you want. I selected Shrimp (cooked), Tuna, Salmon & Albacore. As well as I choose Brown Rice as the base. Then you can choose your toppings. I selected Cucumber, Green Onion, Cilantro, Corn, Smelt Egg, Seaweed Salad, Ginger and Onion. For the sauce I chose Teriyaki and the topping I chose Sesame Seeds. I could tell that by looking at my Large Bowl, it was fresh and created with care. I could taste the crunch from the cucumbers, the freshness of the proteins and the flavors overall. My overall experience was excellent and the customer service I received from Monica was really warm and helpful. In my personal opinion, I recommend Poki Doki and this is probably the best Poke Place I've been to and I am hooked! I will definitely will come back and want to try their other items on the menu. BTW, they have a "Poki-Pinch Card" program that when you come for your 10th visit, you get a FREE Medium Poki Bowl on your 11th visit. read more

first time trying this poke spot the other day. ordered a medium(3 scoops of protein). Overall the price is fair, flavor was good and there are a variety toppings and proteins to choose from! Their most popular sauce was a ponzu based sauce (forgot the name) but it was the right mix of savory and sweetness. Adding the spicy mayo on the side was also . I also loved how staff was very friendly and welcoming to us. read more
