    Poke Bowl
    Cindy N.

    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 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Very big dining space to enjoy your poke here at Uroko! So many people dining in, you order your poke at the front and choose your toppings just like most poke spots. They are very generous with all their portions. Everything looked and tasted fresh. One thing I would add is they added way too much sauce to my poke where it felt like my whole bowl was drowning in sauce. I would ask them next time to chill on it. I would say it's a pretty average poke place with generous portions, if your in the area give it a try.

    My favorite poke spot in OC. The food is always fresh, and they have a wide variety of toppings. There's plenty of seating inside which is a plus!

    I was so excited and happily eating my bowl until I noticed something shining back at me as I tilted my bowl. I really loved this place but after seeing this piece of plastic made me so sad. I'm really disappointed right now :(

    First time trying dine in at uroko and it is way better than the takeout I did a while back. Fish portions were great and have good selection. Servers were nice snd recommended good sauce!

    I had this spot long time ago and didn't come back since I didn't enjoy it as much. I gave it another try recently and it did not disappoint. You can order online and pick it up, it was pretty quick. I got the two scoop protein poke bowl with salmon. I love how they don't charge for avocado. The fish is super fresh and love the sauces you can pick from. This will be one of my go to poke spots!

    Jenny P.

    Limited parking + okay service + open house concept with big windows allowing for sunlight to create a warm ambience. Not sure if they still do the free miso soup when checking in through Yelp as the workers always seem confused every time I ask. Poke bowl is around ($20) and customizable. Fish is always fresh and food is delicious. Star deduction is for the service, everytime I come they're always dismissive as if I'm not standing there waiting for a pickup order / ready to checkout.

I got the duck breast, as it was recommended by others who had it before. Unfortunately, the duck was tough and chewy, the skin was not crispy (as it was in the past) and over cooked. The figs were tasty, but the duck was disappointing to most of us. Someone had the Scottish salmon and said it was delicious. The steak was also good and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very kind, and brought us desserts since our duck was not up to par. The chocolate cake and rice pudding were both delicious and I highly recommend either if you crave something sweet. The service was excellent for our large group. I would definitely come back and like to try other items on the menu.
