    Poke bowls

    Excuse me??? I am a professional poke eater, I've been all over the state for poke places AND THIS PLACE?? This is the most fresh and delicious poke I've had so far. They got a really nice set up for options LIKE EVEN TOMATOES??? and the staff is so welcoming. I had to get me a second bowl. 100000/100. I wanna marry whoever's the regional market owner.. please come forward

    Four Large Build Your Own (4 Scoops) $24.70

    Service leaves something to be desired. My poke bowl was missing crab salad, protein scoops, unagi sauce and masago I know the crab salad and masago are free but they're two of the things that really make it one of my favorite foods. This the protien scoops seemed at least halved the amount that they usually serve. Asked for extra sauce and there was barely any sauce, it just felt like the entire order was off. Edit: Just found some cucumber ends :)

    Average poke shop, was a bit taken back that they charge for seaweed salad when most other shops do not charge for it. Good flavors, large portions - a small bowl (2 scoops) was too much for me to finish. Service was good. Inside/outside seating available, gender neutral restroom was clean.

    We were actually looking for sushi around this mall, but we saw this Poke spot instead and decided to try it out. It's very clean inside and the 2 workers were very friendly and informative. I wanted to try something different, so I opted for their Charred Salmon Hot Bowl. The portion was just right, but of course I would've liked more haha. I liked watching them actually torch the fresh salmon to give that nice char taste and look. There's lots of mix in if you would like to create your own. This place is definitely better than the last poke chain I went to. If you're in the adel Monte Center and feel like Poke, I recommend this spot.

    My first experience with a Poke House! Fabulous clean classy environment, with all the pre prepared food options in plain view . Your choice for really healthy delicious meals, bowls. Reasonable prices, fast service and friendly staff. Minimal basic seating inside and some outdoor seating. Enjoy!

    This is already half way eaten and I have an entire meal left over, in this economy THIS SMACKS! Love it!!!

    BEST POKE IVE EVER HAD I can't believe what I just got from uber eats, I'm drooling, this is so fresh, so quality so incredibly good it's insane, this is what food should taste like, feels like nourishment for the body and soul. This could easily be my part of the meal I'd ask for as my last meal. They are so generous with the amount of fish they put on I seriously will be dreaming of this place and every time we are in the area we will be stopping by. Blown away!!!! I can't wait to show people this place when we do our weekend trips out here. Gem! It was so good I stopped midway just to write this review.

    Employees were super friendly, I thought the quality of fish was great. We took our family to Pebble Beach to watch the sunset and eat our poke. However, my son got a bowl with tako (steamed octopus), that was glowing in the dark. Never seen that before, but also hadn't looked at it in the dark. We laughed it off. He got sick the next day on the way home.

    Yuuuum this place was really good! I never had it but would always see it at the mall. Nicolas was very helpful, we had a couple questions since it was our first time there but he took he's time and explained how to order. The restaurant was really clean. They offer free cucumber water the fish was also very fresh as well as all the other condiments.

    This is a very nice and clean poke place! You have the option of taking out or dining in. Or even dining outside, since there were a few tables available for the customer's use just out the door of this poke place. We just came from a 3 day vacation break at Pismo Beach and were headed for the second part of our vacation at Portola Hotel for a couple of days, when we decided to pass by the Del Monte Shopping Center at Monterey for lunch. When I decided to have poke, my family decided to join me as well...and our stop was here at Poke House - Monterey. The food was nicely prepared. Two staff members were present to take care of a growing line of customers. And the customers were very patient, in spite of the growing line...must be a great reflection on the quality of the food here! And not to mention, the price was affordable as well! If you are in the area, you should give them a try!

    This is the best poke in the area. The fish is fresh and the portions are great. They have a lot of topping options and they add a complementary imitation crab salad scoop. I've visited a couple of times and service is always quick. Poke in general tends to run a bit pricey but I feel that at Poke House you definitely get your moneys worth.

I ordered a build-your-own bowl with brown rice, tuna, masago, sweet onion, green onions, ginger, cucumber, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and furikake, along with a California hand roll. The standout for me was definitely the hand roll. It was fresh and really satisfying. If I came back, I'd honestly be tempted to just one or two handrolls. The poke bowl, on the other hand, was a bit underwhelming. The flavors didn't come together the way I had hoped, and it didn't quite hit that fresh, vibrant poke experience I have grown to love. That said, the location is great, especially if you're staying nearby, and the overall vibe is casual and easygoing which makes it perfect for a quick, low-key meal in Big Sur. There are *some* tables and chais but not too many. The place is fairly small. The prices felt fair and it's nice to have options that work for different dietary preferences, especially for my vegan friends!

My family and I arrived around 8:30 PM and were seated immediately. The menu was interesting, though I was a bit disappointed there was no dedicated kids menu. When we asked our waiter, he mentioned they did have two kid-friendly options available: a cheese quesadilla and chicken & rice. We ordered both of those, along with calamari from the starters and a Thai chicken rice dish. Unfortunately, none of it landed well for us. The cheese quesadilla came with nothing but melted cheese between the tortilla no sides, no sauce. The chicken from the kids menu needed salt badly, and the sauce that came with it wasn't to our liking either. The calamari dish was especially disappointing -- just 5 strips for $15, which felt like a rip-off, and the sauce was watery and not good. The chicken bowl came with plantains, chicken, beans, and rice, but the beans caught us off guard, they didn't mention this in the menu. Overall, we didn't enjoy any of the dishes, and the food-to-price ratio felt way off.

The restaurant is located on the lowest level of the Carmel Plaza, I really loved the location because there are plenty of places to park right around there. Between the two of us, we shared: - Miso cacio e pepe: we came specifically for this! It's one of their most well known dishes, and I highly highly recommend! So creamy and savory, and the mafaldine pasta has such a nice texture, the ruffled edges hold on to sauce perfectly. We also added a bit of gochujang that came with the bibimbap and it was so good with some spice. - Dolsot bibimbap: my husband's favorite Korean dish so of course we had to get it! An excellent variety of veggies, which was nice since we barely got any veg on vacation. The kalbi beef was so juicy and delicious, and not overcooked. - Matcha Tiramisu: absolute must get, so unique. The cake layers were soaked in matcha, and topped off with some fresh fruit. - Grapefruit sake spritz: I was on the fence between this cocktail and the yuzu champagne spritz. Our waitress said that the grapefruit spritz was much less sweet, and I am so glad I decided to go with that option! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, not overwhelming. Overall, my husband and I agreed that the matcha tiramisu was the best bite either of us had all weekend!

The noodles were both chewy and perfectly al dente. Such a fantastic texture. We also added pork belly, and that was a marvelous addition with allll of the fats and flavor. That was the only Korean aspect of our meal, which is why I rated Jeju a 4. Even though it's a Korean restaurant, I unfortunately didn't get any Korean flavors. Because we had stuffed ourselves with pastries beforehand, we opted for the Jeju garden salad. The salad comes with Ad Astra bread: pro tip... dip it in the cacio e pepe sauce. We loved the Ad Astra bread so much that I bought the same seed and drain bread the following morning at Ad Astra. I LOVE how the restaurants partner with the local bakeries and shops. What a lovely community. Back to the salad: it has a bit of everything, and was exactly what we needed. Quinoa, fruit, avocado, tomato's, lettuce. Great dish. The ambiance here is perfect: sit outside and enjoy some live music, and people watch! Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! Overall, loved the food
