    2 Scoop proteins
    Carlo G.

    Loved this poke spot which has such great value for what you get. The portions are big and even enough for leftovers. This restaurant operates assembly line style where you choose your bases, proteins, vegetables, and toppings. I got a 2 scoop bowl for $15 with salmon and tuna. Both of the fish types tasted fresh and the scoops were pretty generous. They even manually mix the proteins and veggies with your sauces of choice. I also love how I could add crab salad, avocado, and masago without extra cost. They have a lot of variety in their menu which is nice. The line was pretty efficient even though it was a bit busy. The interior is pretty spacious with lots of seating and tables. Bathrooms available. They also have free parking next to the restaurant. If I lived in the area, I would regularly come back!

    UROKO POKE @ BRISTOL ST It was super fast to get the bowls, and it was super super fresh. I would say it's super hard to find parking on the area, but overall a great place to grab a quick healthy lunch.

    Genuinely one of the best poke places in OC, a bang for your buck. I love getting a 3 scoop and I think it's super cool you can get so many toppings too. I absolutely love this place and would recommend :")

    I was craving poke but didn't feel like going to the spot in Huntington I usually go to. Uroko had a lot of really good reviews and it was close to where I was, so I gave it a try. A lot of people complained about parking, but it honestly wasn't bad at all. The restaurant itself is clean, bigger than it looks, and has lots of seating available. I haven't had a poke bowl in a minute but I was eager to try it out. The prices were pretty expensive. 2 small scoops of poke for $16. The bowl is packed because they put so much of the base, which in my case was rice. For my protein, I got ahi and yellowtail. Both were fresh. They also have a good selection of add-ons and sides, but the poke itself was nothing special. I will say, it's awesome that the crab salad, seaweed salad, and avocado are not charged extra.

    Parking is tight and limited, this place gets busy a lot, and yes it is pricey for a poke place. I have been to a couple poke places, by far this place has the flavors hands down. Super spacious inside, they have boba drinks, and the staff were nice. They have food containers and water to the side of the wall in case you don't finish your food. They also sell other appetizers as well, from fries, sushi rolls, and takoyakis. This place has tons of variety on drink selection too.

    Build your own poke bowl concept, perfect for when you want a quick customizable option. There's so many sauce and topping combinations you can do, and I feel like you can't go wrong with any! Out of the fish options, I preferred the salmon here. Definitely not the best or freshest poke I've had, but it does the job! Portion size is also pretty good and definitely filling! This is a solid spot for poke in OC. Very spacious place, good for a casual lunch/dinner spot.

    Uroko is pretty solid poke option in the area. It was my first time checking it out, and I liked it. What I thought was nice was in the toppings, they have an "extra spicy" chili oil. As a spicy connoisseur myself, I highly recommend. What I also liked is that they have so many options when it comes to toppings (including mango and pineapple, heck yeah). Another thing that I thought was nice was they mix your fish and toppings together before putting in your plate. That way, you don't need to mash everything up together yourself. The only thing I didn't like was how small their fish portions are. For the price, I get way more fish for a couple bucks less at Poke Tiki and fish quality is exactly the same. There is plenty of seating inside and good tunes playing. Parking is easy and it's in the back.

    2 Scoop salmon bowl
    Levis K.

    Delicious food, probably the best in OC or at least the area! Great build-your-own-bowl with consistent tasting food. The prices have gone up over the years unfortunately, but I found that a 2-scoop bowl was still plenty. I was so full by the end of my bowl, it was totally worth it. The service was good - the workers were nice but you can tell they were overwhelmed. This place doesn't ever seem not busy. There's plenty of seats inside and also expect a somewhat loud ambiance. Also to note, the single lane driveway entrance to the parking lot is a bit of a mess. It's also a steep driveway (low car friends be warned). There's also an entrance if you go through the gas station. Overall, good food, filling, just a bit pricey.

    I feel Uroko has gone downhill over the years. The scoops of protein is so small. For $16, you get two very tiny scoops. I swear, they used to use a larger scoop size for their protein. While everything tasted fine, I just don't like how much I'm spending for the few chunks of fish in my plate. Also, the minimum spending is $16 for two proteins, why can't they offer a single protein one at a lower price? The masago scooper is such a joke, it was so tiny I almost said something rude out loud. They'll continue to get business because their location is great and I think people find it convenient, but I'm not returning.

    Decent portions but kind of slow service. Came here on a weekend afternoon for lunch. I ordered a 2 scoop bowl with yellowtail and spicy salmon. They give you a decent amount of toppings, and avocado is free here which is rare. They were pretty busy though, so in between each scoop of toppings, they would have (what I'm guessing is) online and mobile orders being prepped. I feel like they seemed a bit rushed and it was a little chaotic during the ordering; they accidentally charged me for a 3 scoop indeed of 2 but I noticed before paying. Overall a pretty good poke spot with fresh fish, and decent portions. Minus 1 because the rice seemed a little old? It was kinda dry but also mushy at the same time. Other than that, would recommend for a fresh and tasty lunch!

    Essentially is Chipotle style poke. Great portion size and surprisingly good fish. Location/Parking: kind of tough to find parking. Lot is pretty small considering how big the establishment is. Service: servers were friendly and helpful. Very fast and efficient. Vibes: large eating area, lots of people sitting for a quick bite to eat. Fairly loud and lively, especially at lunchtime. Food: I love that you get to build your own poke bowl and can choose so many different options! The fish was a lot fresher than I had anticipated and tasted pretty good with the ponzu sauce. Unlimited toppings was a huge plus. Great for a quick meal! Would come back again.

    This is a bang for your buck, especially in this economy. Not only are you able to choose multiple bases with no uncharge, but avocado, seaweed salad, and crab have no additional charge. Say less! The portion is more than enough for lunch and left us stuffed. We were a little intimated with the line almost out the door, but it was very fast and only took 15 minutes from start to finish. They have a lot of indoor seating and it was busy on a Friday afternoon. The parking can get busy. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Second time visiting, and the parking situation is terrible. It honestly makes you want to leave unless you get lucky and find a spot. The food is good though--I ordered the two-scoop bowl with salmon and yellowtail, plus the max five toppings. For sauce, I like ponzu with eel sauce and spicy mayo drizzled on top. The fish tasted fresh and flavorful, though the portions could be a little better with how much fish they scoop. The service is pretty average, and the staff could definitely improve their customer service. On the bright side, the ambiance is nice and the space is big, with plenty of seating to enjoy your meal. They also have a café, which is a nice.

The coating was tasty, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce with a little bit of lemon was exquisite. For the main dish, I went a little bold and tried their Chicken Katsu with Umeboshi Sauce and Shiso inside the katsu. May sound kind of odd, but the combination of flavors was both fresh and bold. Service at the restaurant was solid and I don't think there was a moment where my water wasn't full. The restaurant itself was quite big and I was surprised by how many tables/people could be seated. 100% would come back to try some of the other katsu options.

Ordered another pork katsu set for my older son to go. He enjoyed it. So so so good! What a gem!!!! Beautiful woodsy ambiance. Staff were Japanese. An authentic experience. Will definitely be back.

First off I want to say their staff/service was fantastic for our party of 14. So they deserve a solid 5 stars. Food wise, the ordering is really easy just mark up the menu and check off the way you want your ramen prepared. Since it was my first time here and I like spicy I opted for one of their popular ones the Red King. I upped the spice level a notch went with the chashu, added an egg and stuck with the chef recommendations. Overall I loved it, the broth was definitely a little thicker than I am use to. It was hearty and filling, I even got extra noodles. I will definitely come back to try the Green King since I love basil and really want to try their thick noodles.

Idk if it'll be the norm, but it was for us when we showed up in June 2026 - there's a line queue out front where you wait and they have you order while you're waiting.

Idk what anything was, as it was unlabeled, so probably worth asking. We tried two of their ramen bowls, gyoza, edamame, chicken karaage, and an extra serving of noodles. Everything was amazing! Plenty of food for two adults and two small kids to share. We paid at the register, which I'm also not sure is regular, but that's how it went. Just under $70 including tax and tip. Pretty good value given how expensive life is today!

I've tried ox tongue at a few different restaurants and also even in Japan, but the one here at Tsukasa is most definitely different than the ones I have had at other restaurants in the U.S. The charcoal grilled ox tongue pieces were very thick, and of very good quality. They were easy to bite and chew, which is a huge plus in our books. Yes, the meal is simple, but sometimes a simple meal is the hardest to prepare. The soup was not oily at all and there were plenty of green onions and the oxtail pieces were so soft. Everything was fresh and delicious, from the main entree to the rice and the veggies, and not overly greasy in any way. Yes, the price is higher than others in the food court, but there is a reason why it is also one of the busiest.
