OMG! I love how there's many options! Customer service was so amazing! Lovely staff! Love how everything is fresh! & most importantly everything was super clean! Will be coming back forsure! So yummy!
The staff was really kind and generous with the portions. The poke was good but at the end of the day this is coming down to personal preference. I really wish they had brown rice too
i didnt get a before pic , but this is a large bowl.. well the end of my large bowl lol . Portions are big! Flavors delicious, nothing was slimy or warm and not smelling too fishy . Very fresh , & prices are very reasonable. The lady that helped me was very sweet and gave me suggestions since it was my first time . Will be returning! & highly recommended
Bottom Line Up Front: Low-Key Poke Joint is the poke bowl version of chipotle, serving up customizable bowls in a casual setting -- for slightly higher prices than you'd expect from a fast-food place. The Background: As the name denotes, this restaurant serves poke (pronounced po-kay), a Hawaiian dish of raw fish that's been cut into cubes and marinated (usually with soy sauce, sesame, and seaweed). While poke is absolutely delicious in Hawaii, here on the mainland (continental USA) it's often drenched in overpowering sauces to the point where you can barely call it poke. Fortunately, that's not the case at Low-Key Poke Joint -- the seafood is fresh and subtly seasoned and marinated. The Menu: Here you choose from one of two sizes: regular and large. The former gets you 3 scoops of protein while the latter gets your 5 scoops. Low-Key has all the classic proteins, from salmon and tuna to shrimp and octopus. For vegetarians, there is tofu and avocado. The proteins are served on one of six bases: spring mix, kale mix, Jasmine rice, Hula rice (rice blended with purple cabbage and coconut), Bootea rice (bamboo with green tea rice), or half and half. Then you add in your desired sauce, sides, and toppings (of which there are many to choose from for each). The Food: I ordered a regular bowl with 1 scoop of tuna and 2 scoops of scallops on top of Hula rice. I got it with the Truffle Shuffle sauce; green onions, crab meat, seaweed salad, and ginger for the sides; and furikake for the topping. Everything tasted fresh with no overpowering sauces. While scallops and tuna weren't the best I've ever had, they were tasty enough for me to be pleased with the quality. And I was shocked at how much I loved the Hula rice. The regular size (3 scoops of protein) was enough to keep me satisfied, though I wouldn't say it's a generous portion -- more like "just right." The Setting: I can't comment on the sit-down experience, as I ordered to-go, but the inside was clean and organized. I wouldn't necessarily come here with a big party (it's a medium-sized fast-food joint after all), but you should be able to find room for a part of 6 or smaller, though 2-4 would be ideal. The Service: The staff was fast, friendly, and polite. Top notch! The Price: Here's where I have to knock off a star from my rating. For a regular bowl and a drink, plus tax, you'll be paying about $20 for a meal. For one person. At a fast food place. Wow. Sure, it's raw seafood, not manufactured burgers, but paying that much for fast food and not being completely stuffed is a downer. And don't get me started with the large bowl, which is basically $17 by itself. Ouch. The Conclusion: Overall, Low-Key Poke Joint knows how to make poke the right way. Just don't expect to get a boatload of fast food for the higher prices you'll be paying.
I was visiting SoCal and my friend introduced me to this place. The food here is amazing and their portion sizes are massive. The staff here is very friendly and welcoming and were quite patient since it was my first time ordering there. The ambiance inside offers a lot of seating and I would definitely visit them again.
Craving Poke and I came across this spot. Service was quick. It's a hidden spot but it seems to still have their customers. The Poke was really good and fresh. Definitely recommend the regular 3 scoops as it is pretty filling. I got the spicy salmon, spicy crab, and shrimp. Theres a lot of seating if you dine in. I'll be coming back soon.
The best Poke spot in Riverside. What sets them apart has to be how great the staff is and how fresh the food is. I really appreciate how friendly and welcoming the staff is. They are very helpful and always offer us samples of their items so we can decide what to order. The fish always tastes fresh and never looks grey. My go to is salmon or salmon belly but their tuna is great as well. I always order the regular scoop which is loaded up. I'm usually always able to have some left over for later as well. They have a bunch of sauces and toppings to choose from including masago,corn, crabmeat, seaweed salad and even hot Cheetos. I believe they also offer sushi burritos which i have not tried but seems like a very unique and interesting item you don't see in many spots. I prefer takeout but their seating space is a decent size and pretty spacious. I really recommend checking them out.
Low-Key Pokey Joint is easily the best poke spot I have found. I have tried many different places, and nothing compares in terms of freshness, consistency, and overall quality. They are generous with the portions so you get some bang for your buck here. The ingredients are consistently fresh, and the variety of sauces is great. Each one adds something distinct, and the staff is always ready with recommendations when I want to try new combos. Every bowl feels thoughtfully made rather than rushed. The staff is always top notch as well. They are friendly, and quick while being accurate. If you are looking for a reliable, high quality poke spot that delivers both flavor and value, this is it.
Poke bowl was fresh and amazing! We recently moved here and this is our second time coming here! :D Less stars because the male server has a rude attitude (we've been here before, so this was my second observation ). Next, they close 30 minutes before closing time- their body language, ie. Banging bowls down, will be felt if you come in around 7-3:30pm even if it's simply a to go order (this was only our second time here but I think it is important to note). I've previously worked in foods businesses too and I understand the excitement of going home after a long day, but never do I treat customers like they are a burden! That's whack. We enjoyed the quality of food, but the ambience is unfortunately ruined by the servers :(
Was craving poke after a flight into Ontario and stopped here on the way home! Situated in a small plaza complex, parking wasn't an issue. The entrance door leads you to the line to order your poke bowl. Regular bowls having 3 scoops of protein and large bowls having 5 scoops of protein was such a delightful surprise considering typical places have large bowls containing at most 3 scoops of protein. Also solid for the price - about ~16 for a regular bowl. There are 3 different types of rice and I opted for the hula rice which had a savory coconut flavor. I was also excited to see salmon belly as a protein option, which I feel like you don't see often. I opted for a regular with hula rice and scoops of salmon, salmon belly, and spicy tuna. The sauce list was a bit overwhelming (lol) so I asked for the most popular combination. I wish there were more options for sides but altogether the bowl was packed, filling, and delicious!
Love this poki joint! I have been coming here for years! Got dinner the other night & they did not disappoint! Tried the boo-tea rice this time & it was delicious! The place was packed on a Sunday night & everything was fresh & didn't have to wait. The only thing I was disappointed about was they didn't have coke in stock. lol. Enjoy! Sorry I forgot pics!!
Stopped by Lowkey Poke Joint on a Wednesday at 12:30 PM and had no trouble finding parking in the free lot. I was greeted by the friendly staff upon arrival. I sampled the rice options and especially loved the Bootea--bamboo rice infused with green tea, which was flavorful and unique. I ended up doing a mix of Bootea and kale, which they offered with a light vinaigrette. I ordered a large poke bowl with five scoops, opting for salmon. The fish was fresh and delicious, and I appreciated being able to sample the sauces before deciding. Total was $19.56, not including tip. The space has a laid-back, casual vibe with plenty of seating.
Three different types of rice to choose from! Protein choices also include salmon belly and scallops! Both were delicious! Loved their sauces. Toppings were decent. Nice feeling of masago. They also have flaming hot Cheetos for the dry toppings. Great and friendly service with delicious poke bowl! I would return!

I've been to the Garden Grove location before and wanted to try the Riverside one! We came around 2pm on a weekday and it was pretty empty. The workers were nice and really loaded up our bowls. The place was also clean and chill. My friend got half hula and jasmine rice with salmon, tuna, alohot and lava sauce. I got half hula and bootea rice with salmon, tuna, OG and alohot sauce, with wasababy on the side. The portions were super generous! The rice was definitely the highlight. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fish was just okay, not the freshest and cut way too big. The OG sauce was a little grainy and the alohot was disappointing. I didn't get much zesty or yuzu flavor and it was a little bitter. My friend's sauce combo was better but definitely spicier. Overall, a little disappointing but I'd come back to try a different sauce combo! read more

This place is awesome. Miss the island vibes and happened to be driving through the area, hungry. Saw the photos on Yelp; quick peek at the reviews told us everything we need to know- it's good. Staff are patient and welcoming. Such nice mellow music inside, think Mac Ayres. And the food... fresh, clean and cold fish. Heavy-handed, flavorful rice and simple topping options, cool sauce options. Go. And thank me after. Mahalo read more

I visited lowkey poke at this location because I always go to the GG one so I was curious if quality is the same. Upon entering, the server was soooo nice! I didn't get her name but if you were working 05/07 around 2-3PM, u need a raise! I got regular bowl with 3 salmons and it was delicious! The portion was really really good and enough to feed 2 people. Restaurant was clean and fish was really fresh! I would definitely come back again read more

Was an ok experience today. Sushi was fresh. Ingredients good but wish they had more variety for the toppings Taste was good and the sauces good. Service was ok. I found a piece of plastic in my bowl. Brought it to the counter The employee didn't know why I was bringing her the plastic. Than she took it from me and threw it out Hope they remember to do a better job inspecting the food after they prepare it to remove any ingredient bag pieces read more

After getting my food, I can see why-it is delicious! Love the options and service!! I would recommend opening at 1130 though for sure! :) read more
