Edward C.

Tried this place for the first time. I didn't have much expectations going in but overall it was pretty good. Plentiful toppings, fresh veggies, and amazing sauces! Fish was decent but wasn't restaurant caliber. Similar to other poke places. Overall, still a thumbs up!

Sauces and Dressings for the protein.

I don't have a good photo for this review because I am pretty much inhaling my food! This fish is fresh and the toppings plentiful. I got the medium size I will say I should have maybe asked for less rice because it was a lot! I couldn't finish it. I also liked that the avocado was not extra. Since it was my first visit to The Poke Co. the nice guy behind the counter offered a suggestion of the Hawaiian Island dressing and the Orangey Garlic TOGETHER and it is *chef's kiss* delicious. They also serve freshly made Spam Musubi (which I did get a photo of). Loved it. One order comes with 2 Musubi. Looking forward to coming back again.

Yum!

This place is delicious and definitely worth every dollar. Everything is fresh and delicious. I usually get the medium bowl with salmon and shrimp. The service is either great or horrible. I've gotten girls who are so nice and welcoming and I've also had a rude girl. I asked for two scoops of crab and rudely said that's extra (I don't mind paying) I always order the same thing.

I've genuinely never been this disappointed by a poke place before. I understand there were only two employees working and they may have been stressed or understaffed, but the entire experience was extremely frustrating. The employee making my bowl kept asking what I wanted while simultaneously making another customer's order. When she finally came back to mine, she had already forgotten what I asked for and started putting ingredients in before asking me what I wanted again. I understand being overwhelmed, but at that point, it would have been better to simply slow down and focus on one order at a time. It's okay to have customers wait after you finish your task. For this, it's understandable because I assume it helps with efficiency on their end but it was a little frustrating, especially since her coworker wasn't helping her assemble the bowls. She was nice and apologized about it, but for feedback as a customer, maybe don't do that. But that wasn't what disappointed me. The food handling was what completely ruined the experience for me. Ingredients from my bowl were falling onto the counter, and I watched her pick them up with her own hands and put them right back into my bowl. I'm not sure how sanitized the counters are or her hands, so it felt really uncomfortable watching that. What shocked me even more was watching her reach into an already assembled customer's bowl with her bare hands, grab pieces of sashimi, imitation crab, and other toppings, and transfer them directly into another customer's bowl. She wasn't taking fresh ingredients from the containers--she was literally taking food that had already been sitting in one customer's bowl and putting it into someone else's. Watching that happen right in front of me was honestly disgusting, especially with raw fish involved. On top of all of that, my bowl was almost $20, and the quality and amount of food I received did not come close to justifying that price. For nearly $20, I expected significantly better quality, portions, cleanliness, and service. I'm usually pretty understanding when restaurants are busy or understaffed, but this went beyond slow or disorganized service. Between the food handling, the quality, the portion, and the overall experience, this was easily the worst experience I've had at a poke restaurant. The bowl looks good in the photo, but it was not the BEST poke i've had for almost $20. Rice was too wet too. Presentation is the bare minimum...

You guys have a tip jar yet don't tip when u place orders smh ‍. No tip no trip. Maybe don't order far away

This is the Extra Large Poke Bowl (5 Scoops)
Daniel L.

I have eaten at a lot of different Poke spots. I really enjoyed this place. The food was fresh and they load you up with all the toppings. I definitely feel like I am being taken care of here! The people who work here are nice and will to help you with anything. They have some tables inside with air conditioning during hot days. I really enjoyed myself here and will definitely be coming back. If you like poke, this is a great spot to check out!

Chicken bowl with hardly any chicken . Just a bowl of rice
Andi T.

This is for the chicken bowl , while the chicken is good there's literally 4 tiny pieces of chicken my bowl. It's supposed to be "3 scoops" whatever that means . What a freakin rip off . Stop trying to rip off your customers!!!

Large and medium bowls
Soomi W.

I'm the newest fan of The Poke Co. I recently ordered a large bowl and a medium bowl and really enjoyed it. The ingredients are fresh, and the portions were very generous. Service was nice and friendly and the interior is really nice and clean. We'll be back often when we're in the mood for poke.

I ordered a bowl on doordash but got the wrong order delivered (not ur guys fault), i called about it and the lovely lady who answered the phone handled it beautifully! the order came back to me correct this time and it was delicious as always. this is my favorite poke place, i told my bf about how good it is haha. whoever answered the phone call today is doing amazing !!

Absolutely loved this place! We were served by Allen, who was fantastic--friendly and attentive. The portion sizes were generous, everything was super fresh, and service was impressively fast. I loved how customizable the bowls were. The extra-large bowl was perfect for sharing between two people. This was definitely the best poke I've had in a while. I was especially impressed that avocado was included as a topping at no extra charge--most places upcharge $1 or $2 for that. The location was clean, and the modern decor gave it a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Medium Poke Bowl (3 Scoops)
Joy B.

First time trying this spot, and it did not disappoint! They have an amazing deal through Door Dash: 3 protein scoop (a medium bowl) 2 bowls for $20! So basically two medium size bowls for the price of one. You can't beat that value deal! The fish: so fresh and great size cubed cuts. Absolutely love the variety of the toppings and how tasty everything was! Honestly this is one of the best poke bowls I've had in a very long time. Will definitely try to visit in person!

Justin L.

FINALLY POKE CO IN TUSTIN! I've been dreaming of this moment for a long long time. This location is a dream come true. If you don't know what Poke Co is let me tell you. Poke Co offers a fresh and flavorful poke experience with a variety of customizable options. The ingredients are always fresh, and the variety of toppings and sauces lets you tailor each bowl to your taste. The atmosphere is casual, with quick service and friendly staff. Whether you're a poke enthusiast or new to the dish, Poke Co delivers a satisfying, healthy meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner! I already love this location the moment I walked in. It is a must try!

Jing Y.

Just tried new location! I usually go to their other locations but this one is closer to my work (: Happy that they opened a shop so I could go on during my lunch! I got the poke bowl w tuna and it was so good. The tuna was super fresh and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I added additional toppings like imitation crab, masago, and seaweed salad. They were all very fresh as usual! Super flavorful but still felt really light and fresh. My husband went for the chicken bowl (he's all about that protein) and even I had to admit it was amazing. The chicken was tender, had a nice teriyaki flavor, and it came packed with cucumbers and with a layer of green onions. He already said he wants to come back next week. Staff was super friendly, everything tasted fresh, and the whole vibe of the place was chill and clean. Great for a quick lunch or a healthy dinner option. Yums!!

Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

I stopped in at a somewhat odd hour, but my first impression of the service wasn't great. When I walked in, there wasn't a single employee around to greet me for a good minute or so. Eventually, someone came out from the back and told me I could sit wherever I liked. Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the counter. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism continued throughout my visit. I'm not sure if there's a designated employee break area, but it was strange to see one of the servers eating a bowl of noodles in the same area where drinks were being prepared, and later squatting on the floor to take a break. At one point, another male server appeared, and their flirtatious and somewhat inappropriate interactions were awkward to witness as a customer. Overall, the service and professionalism could definitely use some improvement. As for the food, I came specifically for the $2 oyster happy hour. The oysters were huge and tasted fine. I'm generally not a fan of oversized oysters, but these were surprisingly meaty and smooth, so I enjoyed them. I also ordered the pan roast advertised on the happy hour menu, which was unfortunately a letdown. Rather than the rich, seafood-filled pan roast I was expecting, it was essentially a bowl of tomato bisque with barely anything in it, served alongside a bowl of rice. It really didn't resemble what I would consider a proper pan roast, and I wouldn't advertise it as such. Overall, while the oysters were decent and the indoor and outdoor seating options are a plus, the disappointing pan roast and lack of professionalism from the staff left a lot to be desired. There's definitely room for improvement, especially when it comes to service and the quality of the food being advertised.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss.

However, one staff member in an effort to assist the lengthy wait went behind the cash register and took the next customers order. So I proceeded to go into the line behind that customer so I could place my order. Once that customer had completed their order the staff member proceeded to just walk away. Nothing was said or commented that he would be stepping away or just helping that one customer and then re-direct me back to the self serve kiosk line. This is definitely a failure in customer service at this store. You are already automating the ordering process, but now your own staff acts just as blunt and robotic as the self serve kiosk. Usually a great experience here. I'm sure this is not the norm, but communication is important especially within customer service. An acknowledgement or comment to say that he would be stepping away and direct me to the other line would've been appreciated. Since he was not able to take the time to communicate -- I will spend a few minutes of my time to share my feedback and hopefully this can be addressed or is just limited to this one time experience.
