Wonderful food and even more wonderful are the employees! Heading into the AMC to see a movie, power went out in the entire complex. As we all left the theater walking past the closed restaurants An employee called out to the crowd, "Free food." Instead of throwing the food away and locking up and going home, the employees at TigaWok took this opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons. They apologized for the power outage and offered us the food that they had just prepared. They asked us to use our phones as flashlights so that we could safely stand in line and receive the food. Always smiling, they explained to us the different types of food they had and made sure we safely left the store with our generous samples of their delicious food. Thank you to J.C. and the rest of the wonderful employees of TigaWok. read more

This has been my go to spot for when im prepared to spend $25 on lunch. I always enjoy the fresh crispy cucumber as i despise sour vegetables. The spicy tuna is seriously spicy and i can appreciate that. Im really picky when it comes to spicy mayo and even the fish itself. I find this place to have the best quality over chains and other poke spots in glendale. read more

Poke Cafe just isn't good anymore. While it was once my favorite poke restaurant in the area, they have decline in food quality and taste over the years. Most of the $18 bowl is filled with dry rice. The topings are scarce, and the fish does not taste good. I got the regular bowl and couldn't finish it because of how unappetizing it was. Definitely not worth the money or the trip. read more

I had been to other poke spots which I thought were good until I came here. First of all, you can order inside and see all the options. You can check off the paper with all the stuff you want or you can order on the food apps and pick up or have it delivered. No matter what you choose to do, the consistency, freshness and quality of the food and service you get is great! I love their soba noodles and I don't know what it is but all others don't taste as good. You can mix between salad, soba noodles and rice and they have a lot of options for protein and toppings. They also have some sodas and other drinks. Inside they have tables and nearby there's a 90 minute free parking. Definitely my favorite poke spot and have yet to find a better spot. read more

This is the second time I've had an issue at this place. The first time my gf gets food poisoning and now I find pieces of plastic in the poke bowl. I can't recommend anyone visit this place without accepting a high risk for contaminants or getting sick. read more

Straight to it, the bowl was SO GOOD. Fairly priced, delicious, and made super fast. The store itself is a little small but still had room for myself and another party to sit down for our meals. I would love to visit again! read more

I've been a longtime customer and really enjoy the food here, which makes this disappointing to write. On multiple recent visits, online ordering on all platforms (their website, DoorDash, UberEats) has been turned off about 30 minutes before the posted closing time. It used to be 15 minutes before, which I think is totally fair. But 30 minutes feels excessive, especially when it's not communicated anywhere. Most recently, I went in person about 15 minutes before closing (since I couldn't order online) and was refused service entirely. That really caught me off guard. I've been coming here since pre-COVID, and the staff has usually been kind and welcoming -- they even remember my name when I run in to grab my order since I'm always ordering from there. This experience felt very different. The interaction came across as dismissive, which was disappointing as a loyal customer. I completely understand that staff need time to clean and wrap up. However, if orders stop BEFORE the posted closing time, that policy should be clearly stated so customers can plan accordingly. It's frustrating to be turned away during advertised business hours. I'm sharing this in hopes management can address it, because I'd genuinely like to continue supporting this place. read more

the food is incredible! Very fresh and they dont skimp out on making your meal! I personally got a sushi burrito and you can fill it with all the topping you wants and it is amazing! The workers here are also very friendly and make the place feel welcoming! Highly recommend read more

Food is good but manager is stingy, has rude signs all over, and you cant actually order a la carte, despite there literally being a section named "a la carte"... should be "extra" or "add ons"because you need to order a whole bowl and they add the "a la carte" options to your bowl. I was like "so i cant actually order a la carte?" And the employees said "no she doesnt let us" (assuming "she" is the manager) so i was like yeah makes sense now lol read more

Not sure why there are so many good reviews. The bowls are good but so overpriced and the employees seem like they're annoyed you exist.

The regular bowl is supposed to have 3 scoops of protein. Mine was more like, a scoop and a half. Where is all of my protein?? I would dig around and find one lumpy scallop lurking under some toppings. That was a big disappointment. The rice wasn't right at all. It was hard and cold, like it was cooked yesterday. Possibly because I came here for dinner so they didn't have fresh rice? Also, there was no rice vinegar mixed in. Just cold, hard rice. This place also makes you fill out a card for your order. I understand that it's probably for efficiency purposes, but I personally like to see my bowl being created and ask for more/less of a certain topping. I also feel that if the customer watches the bowl being made, they won't skimp out on the protein. I wanted to like this place, especially because I went out of my way and had to deal with downtown Glendale parking on Brand, but it was just a no-go. At least the service was fine and toppings were pretty good. A no-return for me. read more

The food was great. Several options to choose from. Small bowl was def enough for lunch with leftovers for me. Ingredients were fresh. Ambiance reminds me of a Mom and pop bodega in NYC. read more

I've been to a ton of poke spots and tend to always look forward to f is one of my favorite poke spots in LA for sure. I haven't been to a spot that has soba noodles as an option. Their servings v price ratio is fair. Ton of fresh/free topping options as well. I normally get the large half and half bowl and it is like 2 meals for me, but more like 1 for a very hungry person. read more

Came for a quick lunch break last week and was craving poke. To order you fill out a piece of paper. Pricing is comparable to nearby poke places I just wish they had a 2 protein option instead of minimum 3. Portions or moderate for the price point. Staff is clean and wearing masks and the place didn't smell like fish in a bad way lol! Not bad a place to check out if you want Poke in Glendale area. I think they have crepes too?? read more

Visited since we were close to the mall. Excellent quality and sauces! There are places that give you little to no sauce, but not here. They give the right amount of sauce and great portions for a good price. It was so good that we ordered one for the way home. Really recommend this place to everyone! read more

With fresh ingredients and an attentive staff, the Poke bowls here are excellently crafted and delicious. The variety of available ingredients seems to be plentiful most of the time. Everything is smartly organized as the staff constructs the orders. Bins are covered which shows some attention to detail. The pricing is a tad high for what you are getting, but the premium is in the details. The staff is completely focused on their work. I can see that much of their business is for takeaway and online deliveries. Expect to be not greeted as you walk in. Just fill out the order sheet and hand it over to the clerk near the register. A bit cold sometimes, but they are serving Poke. read more

I have been looking for a good poke spot in the area for awhile now and this place has been the best I've tried so far. Their prices are a bit steep in my opinion but you get a lot served to you and the poke was very good, I tried their salmon that was mixed with their spicy mayo, garlic ponzu and yuzu soy, along with their spicy tuna. The sauces really stood out to me and it was sooo delicious and it was the perfect amount, I personally really enjoyed my sauce combination. They had some great toppings as well. I will be coming back! read more

My bf and I came to pick up a DoorDash order, he showed it to the employee, and what seemed to be the manager. They were both looking for the order until the manager said that someone picked up the order. My partner was texting the customer telling them the situation and requested if they can remake the order, and that's what he did but the owner refused to remake the order for the customer because it was picked up by another dasher. My bf showed the messages about the customer wanting a remake or a refund but again the manager refused to. He even showed them his ID. He even accused my bf of stealing the order when this is our first time coming in picking up the order. Some words were exchanged to each other but overall the manager wasn't cooperating with the customers demand which is disappointing. When a customer says they never received their order and ask for a remake or refund you give it to them instead of being petty. Never have I seen a restaurant especially a manager refuse a service to a customer who just wanted their food or refund. Just beyond horrible, I hope they read this especially the manager. read more

Poke Cafe is a delightful spot that consistently delivers exceptional service. Their dishes are made with high-quality ingredients, and the generous portions of their poke bowls are satisfying. read more

Came in at 3 today for a door dash pick up order ! As I showed the employee and manager in the front the door dash order for (K.B), the manager let me know it was already picked up and accused me of stealing or trying to double an order ! I showed the manager my ID saying I'm not (K.B) and the manager did not want to hear it all! Terrible service ! The door dash customer called the store and let them know the situation and still the manager was not understanding the situation ! WHEN the customer called ! Beware terrible service for door dashers/dashes! read more

The absolute BEST poke place ever! I order at least 2x a week and truly wish i could have it every day. Their sauces are amazing and the quality of the fish is 10/10. Try their citrus ginger!!!! I've tried so many other poke places and always find myself comparing it to Poke Cafe. No other spot has come close. Service is awesome. I always order through Uber eats and they know how much I love the citrus ginger and always hook it up! Poke Cafe you're the bestttt!!!! read more

Fantastic!! Great fresh, healthy & delicious summertime meal Excellent sauces and ingredient choices!! Suggest lg bowl with brown rice & salad base, original poke spicy. Spicy tuna, albacore, salmon and masago. Sriracha Mayo, sesame sauce, sweet shoyu (soy sauce). Avocado, green onions, 2x edamame, tempura flakes and sesame seeds. read more

I ordered online so are our order would be ready by the time we walked over, which it was so that process was smooth. We got a Small Poke Bowl ($14.95, 2 scoops of fish) and Big Poke Bowl ($16.95, 4 scoops of fish). The big one was definitely worth it if you like having a ton of fish but I was super full, I don't believe they give you more of the other ingredients when I compared it to the small. Fish and everything else was super fresh and tasty, I especially enjoyed their Sesame & Garlic Ponzu sauces. We got salmon and spicy tuna which were of fantastic quality, service was quick and friendly, we would come back for a quick lunch in the area. Do note they're currently take-out only, no dine-in. read more

Poké Cafe - Large Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

Poke cafe has good poke but is pricey and not stingy with servings but very VERY VERY precise with portions. Firstly, poke is good! There is a great variety of toppings and choices of fish. My personal go to is salmon and sometimes octopus. What I love about poke cafe is the sauces! I get a mix of spicy pepper paste and citrus ginger shoyu with a drizzle of spicy mayo at the end. Yumm! Yes the poke taste good but it is very pricey at about 21 dollars for a large with avocado. Sigh, they also very meticulously make sure you get exactly the amount of fish the small scoop can hold and absolutely nothing more. Understandable because fish is expensive I'd imagine. There is little seating inside and no dedicated outdoor seating. You come in grab a paper fill it out and pass it on. A few minutes later you have your bowl in hand and are ready to head out and enjoy! ( while you cry because of how little poke you get for the amount of money you spent ) Street parking can be scarce but there are free lots within walking distance. Although seating isn't great brand Blvd has plenty of places to sit and eat outside! Enjoy :) read more

After a long morning of working and errands, I joined my friends at Poké Cafe for lunch. I ordered a 3 scoop salmon bowl with all the toppings I wanted. The poké itself isn't the best Ive had but was good, no complaints. As for the service, it was very transactional. The team working there barley held eye contact or spoke except when needed during check out. This set the depressing mood in the shop, which is a shame as they have loads of seating inside. If I ever do come back, it'll be to pick up take out. read more

The poke bowls are really good. During my visits it seems that majority of the people just do takeout. Ordering is really simple. You just fill out a card with everything you want and put it on the ordering rack. Imo poke bowls are really good if you know what sauce combinations to do. I went for the spicy mayo, garlic ponzu,and yuzu soy. Doesn't disappoint! read more

I wasn't the biggest fan of poke until I tried this place 2 years ago and have been a returning customer ever since. It has to be one of the best spots for poke -super fresh fish and generous portions I appreciate how customizable your bowl can be and I love it extra saucy and they make it awesome each and every time! The workers are super chill and know how to make your order efficiently! Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Best poke in the area - super fresh tasting, generous portions, awesome selection of sauces that are all tasty. Very reliable as delivery, too. I wish they would bring back the poke burrito, though! read more

Fresh, convenient location, and clean. A little annoying that you need to fill out the paper form and hand it to them to make your bowl. Food tastes fresh, portion is decent, and would still recommend. read more

During this shut down, one of the difficulties I have experienced with dining is I simply can NOT enjoy certain foods at home, like I did at a restaurant; for example, Italian food, Mexican, Sushi, etc. Those foods I genuinely need to be in a restaurant to experience the authenticity of the dining experience. Im jealous of those that can! Today I was tired of the usual Thai food and Pizza & I decided to try a healthy approach and ordered a Salmon Poke bowl- No rice. Soba noodles with salad, Salmon with crab meat, cucumbers, pickled turnips, ginger with ponzu dressing. A+++ My bowl was bursting with the above ingredients! VERY Generous amount of salmon and all the veggies I had checked off on doordash app. +Super freish +Perfect amount of dressing +Healthy and delicious +Swift preparation +Awesome price point. Cant wait to order again..and again, and again. read more

This is the best poke place I have ever had. I have tried countless poke places in LA and everything is horrible and disappointing when I know this place exists. Glendale has the best poke and this is the best one there. Everything is fresh and freshly made daily, like the spicy tuna. This the only place that I would eat spicy tuna at cause it's actually good. It has every and the best toppings to choose from. Portions are crazy generous and well worth it. Definitely must go. I never have left a review but I just had to for this place cause I get so annoyed and upset that everywhere else isn't good compared to this place. read more

5 bites in and I'm writing a review. THIS POKE SPOT IS AMAZING! Really fresh ingredients and fish and amazing tasting toppings and sauces. Definitely the best poke in glendale read more

Very bad service. The 2 ladies at front are very unprofessional and aggressive. Because of her attitude I just left without taking my food. Will not recommend. If you want to be bullied because of your race this is the place read more

Always happy to try new poke places as poke is one of my favorite foods. I was in Glendale for a dental cleaning and decided to pick up dinner from here. I thought about ordering online but decided to just drive there and order it, since it usually didn't take a lot of time. I got there and parked in one of those 90 minute lots. There were two girls working at the counter, and one patron eating there. So I ordered the two bowls, one with white rice base and one with half soba noodles, half salad both regular size. You can't order that online - half and half so its better to come in. Came with three proteins and the standard toppings. For some reason their cole slaw was extra, which is strange to me - extra is usually something more premium like avocado. They did have a spicy crabmeat option, which she let me sample. It was good, so I got that for both of us. A regular bowl was 11.95 each, which isn't bad. Took it home and we ate it when my boyfriend got home from work - an hour and a half later. It did hold up and was pretty delicious. I'll definitely eat here when I'm in Glendale. read more

I've been here to dine in and pick up and it's both been a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!! read more

Nice little shop on Brand Blvd in the center of downtown Glendale. The food quality was on point and the bowl as a whole tasted amazing. I do wish it was slightly bigger considering it is a large, but that definitely wasn't a deterrent at all. I'd still highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great quality poke, nice ambiance and quick service. Will definitely be back. read more
