    Garlic Scallion, Limu, Kimchi Cucumber
    Rachel D.

    Unreal Poke is exactly what this community was missing and we are so happy to find authentic Hawaiian poke at home! The owners and staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. Parking is plentiful. We would come here everyday if we could. The quality, flavor, rice to fish ratio, fish to sauce ratio, portion size, and everything else you can think of is executed perfectly. Every flavor has been a hit, but these standout for us: Spicy Ahi, Limu, and Kimchi Cucumber. We have only tried the poke bowls, but look forward to enjoying the rest of the menu eventually.

    So thrilled they are officially open and no longer in soft opening! Came here on Friday at noon and it was fairly busy but the line moved pretty fast! They're open Wed-Sun and closed Mon & Tues - Wed to Fri - 11am-2:30pm & 4pm-8pm - Sat & Sun - 11:30am-2:30pm & 4-7pm Parking can be difficult since the parking lot is quite small and it's shared with other businesses. However, there is nearby street parking! Inside is pretty small with very limited seating so I recommend taking it to go. Staff was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Pricing is slightly pricey but they definitely don't skimp on the quality and portions so you definitely get your money's worth! Regular Poke Bowl is $19 & Large is $24! It comes with rice and complimentary side. They also sell Poke by lb. - 1/2 lb - $16, $18 (premium) - 1 lb - $26, $32 (premium) The standard Poke flavors were: - Shoyu, Spicy, Ginger Scallion, Kimchee Cucumber, and Garlic Crunch Premium flavors were: - Hawaiian Shoyu & Spicy Hawaiian Sides were: - Uala Mash, Seaweed Salad, Crab Salad, and Mac Salad I used my SGV Foodie Passport and redeemed my free 1/4 lb poke (complimentary flavor - premium included!) I got the Hawaiian Shoyu and it was soy sauce based but not too salty. It had slices of onions, as well as huge and thick chunks of tuna. It was so fresh and packed with flavor. I also ordered the 1/2 lb of Uala Mash ($5) and it was delicious! I love purple yam so I really enjoyed this. It was slightly sweet and was extremely fresh! The portion was so big that I couldn't even finish it! Overall, I really enjoyed the food and my experience so I'll definitely return and recommend!

    Pretty solid poke shack in Arcadia. Parking can be a hellhole though....Its basically in the corner of that stripmall where happy lemon used to be~(I think..). Ended up parking on the street by 7/11. The store layout is a little confusing because there were two lines--one was for ordering and the other side was just waiting for their orders. Two entrances and a couple of small tables. Lots of people at lunch time coming and going. I tried to imagine different layouts for the store while I was inside but couldn't come up with anything better than what they already have for store efficiency. Anyway, I ordered a regular shoyu and spicy ahi with seaweed salad. All the meals come with rice and a side. Friend got a large with this purple yam mashed potato tasting thing. Pretty dense and filling. My FISH WERE FRESH and flavor was pretty decent. I'm writing this review mainly because I think their customer service is great. Friend's plate had a tiny hiccup situation and he brought it to their attention. Not only did they immediately give him a brand new bowl and were super apologetic. A worker came by a short while later and offered us a macaroni side and 2 musubis~then came by again later and refunded him. He paid for us so I essentially got a freebie meal too...he didn't say something expecting to get anything free~but rather for them to be more careful but they took the situation and went above & beyond with their customer service so that speaks volumes about their business. I'd go back there to support them just purely because of this.

    I've never had Hawaiian poke before so this was a first. I came on a Thursday around 6pm with a friend, the parking is a little small as it is in a plaza with a bunch of other stores. There was a small line inside and a few tables to sit at. The fish was very fresh and the staff were very helpful in helping us decide what flavors to pick, also offering 2 samples. Towards closing they also offer discount on the poke which is good to know it doesn't go to waste

    Happy I tried Unreal Poke out. The place is small, but I took my food to go. The poke is fresh, but slightly on the salty side. Staff is very nice. Hoping to return in the near future to try out the other poke they offer.

    Twice as nice. Still good fish, still good authentic poke. Lines might be intimidating but things move.

    Unreal Poke. Say less. It truly is unreal (in a good way). I saw a lot of posts about this place. While I don't normally gravitate towards Hawaiian poke, this particular afternoon I was craving a specific type of poke and I thought that Hawaiian poke would fulfill my tastebuds, so I ended up here. My goodness did this hit the spot! I got the regular bowl with 2 options and 1 side. I went with spicy ahi, the ginger scallion, and macaroni salad. A daunting $20 but when I got it,the bowl was quite heavy, so it knew it was packed pretty well. Taking my first bites I was surprised at how flavorful it all was. Everything was delicious. I ended up finishing the bowl and it became my late lunch/early dinner because it was so good. Can't wait to try the other flavors and mixing up the combos!

    The wait was not bad at all on a Sunday noon. The reason I gave 2 stars is because my family and I got minor food poisoning from this meal :( It was also really expensive (around $56 for 1 premium ahi large bowl and 1 standard ahi large bowl). Flavor wise, it was not bad but I felt like the flavors weren't strong enough and were super similar to each other since I had to keep alternating flavors to actually taste something. Not worth getting the premium flavors imo. The mac salad and crab salad we got were nothing special, I've definitely had better. Good to try, but will not be back :( I still like Jus Poke in Redondo Beach the most

    Amazing! I'm glad to be able to try this again, now at their new permanent location in Arcadia. We arrived on a Wednesday around dinner time, and there was a small line at 6:30 PM. The fish looked like it was starting to run out, so I'm pretty sure we got the last of a few items. The line moved quickly though, and we ordered and received our food in under 20 minutes. Now for the food. There were a few different items on the menu compared to the last time I visited their pop-up shop, and these are my thoughts: Poke Bomb - I absolutely loved this. It lets you sample a few different flavors, featuring inari topped with some of their special poke. It wasn't salty but was packed with flavor. A must-try if you enjoy inari. (5/5) Poke Bowl - We got a large bowl so we could share it. The portion size was reasonable, but the poke is still unreal. It's one of the few poke spots around that truly reminds us of the poke we had in Hawaii. Not much else to say besides it's delicious. (5/5) Overall, this is definitely a go-to spot if you're craving the real deal. The fish is incredibly fresh, the ingredients are high quality, and the flavors are excellent. Yes, it's a bit pricier than your typical poke spot, but the quality makes it worth the splurge every once in a while. Parking - Small lot. It may be difficult to find parking during busy times since the lot is shared with several other businesses.

    I get why they named themselves unreal poke- because their poke is truly unreal. 100/10. If I could eat here everyday, I totally would. You literally cannot go wrong with anything here / it's fresh, made with soul, and guaranteed good. I've gone here twice within the same month and can proudly recommend the following flavors: - spicy - hot shoyu - garlic and onion Sides: - must order uala mash, it's unlike anything else and it 100% slaps - mac salad also good - their spam musabi is also a classic - you know exactly what you're getting

    Poke was UNREAL. Hawaiian style poke spot with fresh and very flavorful poke. They have fresh poke from Hawaii shipped to them every other day and each flavor is unique in its own regard. Come earlier in the day because once a certain flavor runs out, they don't restock until the next day. I highly recommend trying the spicy HAWAIIAN style ahi poke. It's a unique umami spicy mayo in their ahi tuna with a special type of seaweed that makes it have such a unique taste. Their purple "Uala" sweet potato mash is very neutral side that compliments the poke well. It was a great palate cleaner with its subtle sweetness and is a must try.

    Intrigued by unreal poke! There's been so many places opening and popping up all through the SGV. The poke game is stepping it up this year which has been great. I love witnessing the evolution. Poke has been a long time trend but its trajectory is getting better. Unreal Poke is a great example because while there are spots that are chaining from popular areas like Hawaii, Unreal is creating its own force. It's not caught up by toppings, multiple bases, or sauces but showcasing what poke should always showcase-- The fish and the ode to the culture it comes from. We got the shoyu ahi tuna and the spicy salmon. Loved both but the tuna was a perfect savory chunk of a bite! Onion, green onion, and shoyu mixed with a little seaweed salad, crabmeat, mini spoonful scoop of rice all atop some crunchy seaweed I had at home. Mmm. The salmon was also good but in this particular case because of how fresh the ingredients are, the less saucier, the better I say... And trust any of my close friends when I say that I am the sauce queen of most friend groups. So, to say less sauce means that the fish is that good without being to flashy from sauce. The creaminess of the spicy salmon and the crunch from the masago was good but I feel like next time, I want to taste the salmon more than its complimented sauces. A solid poke bowl is one that makes you crave for less sauces and more of just the fish itself and the very few small additions just to really round out one bite to the next. A little crunch, some chew, some extra umami hits (but not too much!), and a quick piece of ginger to freshen the next bite. We also got a two musubis to go. The only thing we wanted to have some more of was their mac salad but they were about finished with it by the time we got there. We at least got the bit that was left with no additional cost which was nice. Already ready to go back.

I got lucky to catch them 30 minutes before they closed at 8:00 PM. Pretty clean place with bar stool seating along the left wall. All gender restroom is in the back. Build your own poke bowl. Small (2 scoops), medium (3 scoops), and large (5 scoops) sizes ranging from $16+, $18+, 20+ per bowl, respectively. Protein consists of salmon, tuna, albacore, octopus, scallops, shrimp, tofu, etc. Toppings vary from edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic, and shallots. Base comes in white sushi rice, organic brown rice, salad, or half & half. Got two large poke bowls with salmon and all the toppings. Avocados cost extra. Love the big chunks of fresh salmon! Scoops could be a tad larger. Please note extra toppings will cost extra money. Each bowl comes with a max of 3 sauces... got Dynamite, Spicy Garlic, and Sweet Unagi. They were very flavorful sauces especially when combined together. I would get a large poke bowl with all 3 of the same sauces again. Lady staff members were friendly and nice. Prices was on the higher end compared to other poke places. Nevertheless, tasty, fresh and healthy poke bowl is a win win win in my book. Po'ki Bar delivered. Highly recommend!!

Their topping selection has a good variety, with all your standard poke toppings. I can't complain! The sauce selection is also pretty standard, my usuals being their house shoyu and sesame. A while ago, they had a citrus sauce, but sadly discontinued it. I'm hoping one day they bring it back because it was my favorite! Although the quality of their poke has been consistent through all the years, their prices have gone up significantly compared to other poke places in the area. A small bowl runs you about $18 - $20 now, depending on if you pay for the extra avocado. Their poke is still delicious, but Poki Bar has been out of the rotation for me due to the increase in price compared to the average poke shops nearby.
