Clean and organized
Myrna S.

I was served by Hailey - she was patient with me, as I was ordering 4 large poke bowls all very different. She was friendly and knowledgeable, recommending different sauce. I liked how she really took her time with me and didn't make me feel rushed, even though 3 other customers walked in. The portions wow! Super generous, and they had so many sides like edamame, sea weed, crispy onion - they were very stocked up and the food was all fresh. A large bowl, which for me will last 2 meals was approximately $20. The store was clean and organized. The only minor critic I have is that today in Cali it's like 93 degrees and it was kind of warm inside. I felt bad for the workers that the AC wasn't blasting. However, I think I might start visiting Hailey once a week, I loved how she made my bowl and interacted with me. Thank you Hailey!

Boneless wings
Randy B.

Don't get the boneless wings they are not good. Low quality chicken used. The poke bowl toppings are lacking but what they do have to work with is okay. Price point is $1 over what it's should be charging with the service provided. I would not come back unless changes were made. But I would not give the wings a 2nd chance

Our own little concept.

I've come here for sometime and it's always a great restaurant. This place is a hidden gym today. I got the best service I've ever gotten at any restaurant where I am a fan forever normally I come in and order my food and enjoy the meal and leave today the staff took the time to hear us out and just give us exceptional service. Highly recommend.

Came to get a drink and service was fast and friendly but unfortunately their Thai tea was not what I expected. I've came in the past for their poke bowls which I enjoyed. So my advice is stay away from the boba drinks but stay for the food.

Pretty good poke spot. I got a medium bowl with the tuna, crab meat, and salmon. The tuna was super fresh and so was their seaweed salad- those were the best! We also got this doordashed but were pleasantly surprised with how cold it still was. While i can't comment on ambiance, service was fast! Overall, pretty decent poke spot, only wish they had more sauce options as the poke co and ponzu sauce are very similar and honestly either or is not my favorite.

Wings (20 Pieces)
Angelica Z.

This was my favorite poke spot but now I'm indifferent. For a few months now the sauces are super inconsistent. We miss the old radishes and beets, the ones they have now are dry and just not the same. I will say they give good portions of fish, and we love the orangey garlic sauce. Now the wings. We ordered bone in buffalo and Cajun wings recently.. the size of them was okay. Cajun wasn't Cajun at all, just super salty seasoning. Very ridiculous to charge for two dips for 20 wings that cost $30+, your wings won't come with any complimentary dip. At least two should come with a 20piece.

Maryssa G.

Both orders where definitely to over powered by the sauces the ginger tasted as if it was going bad, the rice I got in my bowl was under cooked. The spicy salmon and imitation crab had an off putting taste unsure if it's from the ginger being mixed or if it's bad but I definitely feel like both orders where over packed with sauces to mask the bad taste of the salmon or imitation crab

Wings 6 piece combo
big b.

This place has always been my #1 poke spot just for the poke. This was the first time I tried something different on the menu and this will be the last. The fries were good but when I bit into one of the wings I was suspicious because it wasn't crispy or anything. It was chewy yet I didn't pay attention to it, I look down and see its still pink. Maybe it was because I came an hour before closing but there were 3 other people behind me in line and I wouldn't have minded waiting long for these wings as long as they were cooked throughly. It makes me sad that my favorite spot did me wrong but this is for the safety of others.

food isn't fresh. the girl gave me a vietnamese coffee in a smaller size. chips are $4 a bag. got jipped. got charged extra for avocado but didnt order extra. 1 star for the bottled imported tea. long wait too. rice was not cooked well. service was shitty. i'm pissed

I have been going to this location since it was Poké Bar, now known as Wow Poke. Even though the…read morename changed, they still offer the same options of size, base, proteins, mix-ins, sauce, sides, and toppings. The portion size is decent, and the price is usually around what poke costs nowadays. The quality of the fish is okay, but can't compare it to Hawaiian Fresh Seafood in San Diego (the literal best I've tasted so far outside of Hawaii). The good thing about this place is you get to pick as many mix ins or sides while other poke shops around the area only allow 2 sides/mix ins/toppings. I also like the convenience of being able to fill out an order form and just being called when the order is ready. There are plenty of seats inside and outside if you decide to dine in.

Depending who you get serving you there is definitely a discrepancy with the bowls and how they fill and portion the serving. You are either satisfied or definitely disappointed with quantity especially if it's one of the female workers serving you. On my recent visit we requested extra toppings which we notified the staff member we are willing to pay extra for she rudely emphasized with each item that it will be extra . After receiving our bowls we were disappointed with our food as there was barely any change even with paying for more. Another guest came in to the staff familiarity and was treated very differently from us they were not requested to fill the form and were given extra scoops of food from the customers request. To add salt to the wound not a single "reminder" that it would be an extra charge. Service should be consistent with all customers.... We were hungry and still left hungry

My husband and I came here because I was craving poke and I've been wanting to try this place out…read more Bad idea to come during lunch rush hour because we waited a long time in line to be served. There were only 3 workers working during lunch rush hour and some of them seemed a little frazzled (imo). But when it was our turn to order, the servers were really helpful. My husband ordered first, then me. We had 2 different people serving us. The gentleman helping we was very generous on the protein scoop, so I was happy about that. However when it got to my toppings, he gave very little. But I was satisfied with the amount of protein he gave, because some places can be very stingy about how much they give you. I like how they have a set plate such as the Hawaiian bbq chicken and salmon bowl. They also have premade proteins such as the sweet glazed salmon or the tuna luau. They have a variety of choices. The ambiance of this location is nice. There are lots of tables and seats for you to sit and enjoy your meal. My husband and I got ours to go. When we got home, there was too much base for me. I asked for lite rice and my bowl was full of rice. And as mentioned, not enough toppings to my liking. But overall, a good poke place. Definitely a place to check out if you want a variety of selections when customizing your poke.

This is me and my eldest getaway spot when we don't want to eat what the rest of the family is eating. I usually get 3 scoops with blazing salmon and 2 scoops of regular salmon mixed with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Sooo good. The workers are very attentive and don't hesitate to answer any questions. I'm sure after a full work shift they've heard a certain question more than they'd like to answer but it never shows. They're respectful and polite and is part of the reason we keep coming back. The lobby is always so clean makes it a comfortable environment to eat in. We'll be back, we always are lol

I took pics of the poke as I was waiting for my friend to tell me what she wanted. I asked the cashier for a sample of the ginger and she gave me one. I then ordered for myself a pound of ginger poke. When I asked the cashier for more time she seemed annoyed, mind you there was only one other person and she was waiting for her friend to call back because she also was doing the same and waiting for a text based upon pictures. The cashier acted annoyed that the both of us were waiting for text before finalizing our order. Meanwhile? I had asked for another sample of the oyster but she curtly told me that there's only one sample per person (this should have been posted). The cashier Joyce was unpleasant in her demeanor and didn't bother to say thank you for your purchase and I had to request for a receipt of the over $40 worth of poe I had just made. Even if the poke blows me away, the angry demeanor of your cashier left a sour taste in my mouth and I will be taking my money to other establishments where the greet you with a smile and seem grsteful for your business such as Auntie Mailies, Alii, Jus Poke or if in OC Ai Pono or Kawamoto.

Any Uroko Cafe chain can do it for me!…read more I love their portion size and the variety of toppings they give. It is the best bang for your buck when it comes to poke. There is a bunch of seating outside which allows you and your friends to get different cuisines but still sit together.

Solid spot for poke bowls if you're in the Cypress area!…read more I was in the area for work - and the hotel I'm staying at is right next to Uroko Poke. Have gone here twice now! It works just like any other Build-your-own Poke Bowl spot. Assembly line-style with the employee on one side and you're on the other side of the glass picking out how to dress up your poke bowl. Employees are friendly, prompt, and efficient. Bases are white rice, brown rice, salad, broccoli - the white rice here is pretty solid - moist and fluffy - not dry or old like other spots. You get your choices of up to 6 sides - I picked spicy crabmeat, regular crabmeat, seaweed salad, avocado (first scoop free), mango and pineapple. Choice of protein - pricing based by # of scoops: 2 @ $16, 3 @ $18, 5 @ $21. I got my usual 3x Salmon. The fish here is fresh, does not carry any smell, didn't taste slimy or frozen. Sauces - I went with my usual mix of sesame oil and spicy mayo. Toppings - First scoop of masago is free, and a dash of green onions completed my bowl for me. Everything tasted fresh - and when you consider that what sets the price is the # of scoops of protein - it's a pretty good deal considering the base and everything else is normal serving scoops. Lots of seating both inside the restaurant and in the outdoors dining area. I just took my order back to my hotel. Tons of free parking alongside the food court, near El Torito. The only downside is their "revamped" Rewards system. Based on the previous reviews, it used to be a punch-type system where you get the 10th bowl free. This is how a lot of the other Poke bowl spots I've gone to work. The new system really works against you. You get 1 point for every $14 or so spent - and 24 points gets you $10 off. My medium poke bowl with tax and tip came out to $20.51 - and yes, I only got 1 point. In other words, not only do you not get a free bowl even after buying over double the number of bowls needed to previously get a free bowl, but once you hit 24 points - you only get $10 off. Pretty pathetic, hence the reason I knocked off a star.

Took me this long to finally try Bear Flag, and it did not disappoint!…read more Got a 1/2 pound of salmon poke and 1/2 pound of ahi tuna poke., and they each came with a side of tortilla chips! The salmon was buttery and soft, while the tuna was flavorful. Honestly don't know which one I liked more, they were both delicious. 'Bear Flag Taco': this tasted really fresh and light, felt like I could have multiple! 'Pineapple Margarita': I believe this was their special drink of the day, and it was only around $12! Personally thought it was strong, so it's such a good deal! Verdict: i didn't have high expectations, but everything I tried was actually really yummy!

One of the Worst First Impressions I've Had at a Restaurant…read more I recently moved to Newport Beach and came across Bear Flag Fish Co. while shopping. It was my first time there, and unfortunately, it will probably be my last. I ordered a sushi lobster roll that was around $35. The menu did not clearly disclose the ingredients, and nobody explained to me what was included in the roll. When it arrived, it was covered in a very heavy amount of mayonnaise and other sauces mixed together. Because I have allergies to certain ingredients, I politely asked the waiter if they could take it back and prepare one without the sauces. The waiter was actually very polite and handled the request professionally. I had no issue with him whatsoever. Then JUAN, THE MANAGER, came over. Instead of trying to understand the situation or simply resolving the issue, he questioned why I would return an expensive item after it had already been prepared. I explained very clearly that the ingredients had not been disclosed to me and that I had an allergy, which was the reason I needed it prepared differently. His response was extremely unprofessional. Rather than showing concern about a customer's allergy or acknowledging that the ingredients could have been explained more clearly, he basically told me that the issue with the ingredients was not his business. Seriously? A customer comes into your restaurant for the first time, spends money on a $35 roll, explains that they have a food allergy, and this is how the manager chooses to handle the situation? Mistakes happen. Restaurants get orders wrong. That isn't what bothered me. The way management treated me after I politely explained the problem is what bothered me. For a restaurant charging premium prices, I expect premium-level customer service and professionalism. Instead, I left feeling like my concerns were an inconvenience. JUAN, as the manager, should understand that customer service is part of his job. If a customer has an allergy concern, the appropriate response should be to listen, clarify the ingredients, and find a reasonable solution--not argue with the customer about the cost of the food. The waiter was courteous and tried to help, so I want to give him credit for that. Unfortunately, the manager's behavior completely overshadowed the rest of the experience. First impression: extremely disappointing. If you're going to charge around $35 for a roll, customers should be able to expect clear communication about what's in their food and professional treatment when they raise a legitimate allergy concern. I came in as a new customer who was simply looking for a good place to eat in my new neighborhood. Instead, I walked away wondering how a restaurant with these prices can have management that handles customers this way.
