Large poke bowl. Yummy!
Jami T.

My daughter got a gift card for her birthday so we decided to treat ourselves. We both got large poke bowls. They were generous with the portions on proteins and all the yummy things we chose. Everything was fresh and tasty. My daughter was especially happy that they have albacore as a protein choice. The guy (owner?) who helped us was really nice and it was an easy peasy ordering experience. We are in and the restaurant was decorated simply but nice. We will 100% be back!

Those four pieces is one scoop of fish.
Candice M.

Establishment was clean and fresh. I ordered a regular bowl half salad half rice. The scoops of fish were so small. You got maybe three or four pieces in each scoop not what I was expecting. The worker asked me what sauce I wanted and I replied with whatever the spiciest is. She just pointed to the list. I said yes the spicy one. She finally took out her headphones. Which by the way touching your face or hair while making food a big no no. Got the rest of my toppings and checked out. Found wilted pieces of salad and overall flavor was subpar. Between the food and staff I won't be back

This is where you give your order

The food was delicious! Service was really great and they made great suggestions. Although the spicy was not as spicy as my husband would like he really liked his food! There were more options to add more spice. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy our meal. If we lived in the area, we would come every day!

I ordered the large bowl and it was delicious! This little establishment has a variety of add ins and generous portions. I've got back 3 times and will go back for more.

I'm not sure how we have not found this place sooner. I've been to this shopping strip a number of times but didn't notice it being here. We we're looking for a poke place to have takeout dinner one night and we were in northern Carlsbad. We had this place in our list to go to but got stuck going to another for some time. This time, we checked our list and decided to try something new and I'm so glad we did. I can't recall all the items I put in my bowl but I had a half & half with greens and chips. The sauce made my bowl so delicious I look forward to come if back. They even gave us a sauce sample for us to try. All so good! They had been in the area for a few years and they goodness they survived the pandemic. This place is at the top of our poke bowl outing now in north county.

Regular size bowl with ahi, crab, onions and spicy ponzu. Lots of fresh toppings. Drizzle of spicy mayo on top. Mm good!
Vivian R.

Super fresh ingredients, good service, casual takeout place. Great value: I go for the more classic poke bowl ingredients: ahi tuna on white rice with crab, onions, cucumber and spicy ponzu sauce with sesame oil. For toppings, I add masago, green onions, seaweed salad, a little ginger, furikake and sesame seeds. Tonight I added a little sriracha mayo on top. PERFECTION. It's next door to the gym, so it's convenient for a quick dinner.

Good service, clean restaurant, but the protein sizes are small for the price and needed more flavor.

Ask the Community - Wicked Poke

What do they offer for kids?

Poke bowls!

Can you order online?

You can order via the polular apps for delivery/pickup but they don't have their own online ordering system as far as I know.

Are the prices reasonable?

Reasonable is subjective. I come here when I want a decent bowl of sushi with greens (low carb diet). It's not a $5 burger joint. For one person you're looking at $8-12 on average. The fish is fresh however and I love this location.

Do you have any bowls that are gluten-free?

We offer custom poke bowls you can make with gluten free ingredients. For your sauce option, our current seasonal sauce of Honey Wasabi Vinaigrette is made with gluten free ingredients.… Read more

The macadamia nut ice cream had lots of macadamias and they were nice and crunchy. The coconut whip was super good! They had color changing spoons too! So fun! Lots of great goodies to shop for too! Found some cool gifts and snacks. They even sell poke! Quaint little place with outdoor seating only . Liked the open windows. Service was great. Young man was patient and answered questions and gave suggestions.

A slice of tropical heaven in Carlsbad!…read more I've been to my fair share of Hawaiian shaved ice spots on the mainland but nothing--and I mean nothing--comes close to the magic they serve up here. One word: DREAMSICLE. I don't know what kind of sorcery they're working with, but this flavor tastes like childhood joy and beachside sunsets blended into a cup. It's perfectly creamy, citrusy, nostalgic, and refreshing all at once. I am not in Carlsbad often, but I know that the next time I'm headed to San Diego I am going to stop by and try more of their creations. But what really makes Aloha Ice special isn't just the incredible flavors--it's the people. The staff here are absolute gems. I came with a group of 6, a few kids, and a few indecisive adults. The employees were so genuinely patient, kind, and enthusiastic through the whole thing. No eye rolls, no rush--just warm smiles and helpful suggestions. Everyone ended up ordering shaved ice that they loved! It's rare to find a place that nails both quality AND hospitality, but Aloha Ice does it effortlessly. Whether you're a local or just passing through Carlsbad, don't miss this spot. Pro tip: get the Dreamsicle. You can thank me later!

I was in this area of Oceanside in the valley and was looking for ice cream. Upon recommendations,…read moreI came across Ocean Rainbow ice cream parlor. Remotely hidden in the back of the shopping plaza on El Camino Real & Mission Ave, is this gem of a small ice cream shop, Ocean Rainbow. One could easily drive right past them because of their small signage on the exterior. The shop is very small and see maybe 10 people. Yeah, very friendly service that is excellent and fast to greet and offer a free sample. This ice cream shop has a very large variety of flavors that are native to Mexican culture. They have ice cream scoops, milkshakes, water-based popsicles, sherbets, sundaes, chamango, banana splits, icicles, elotes, esquites, Tostilocos, popsicles, shaved ice and a whole lot more. You can find flavors like guava, rice, pistachio, coconut, Oreo, cookie dough, rocky road, mango, mamey, cactus fruit, pine nut, MAZAPAN, chamoy, tamarindo, burnt milk, Gansito and even tequila. There most popular item is the Fresas Con Crema. Prices are very reasonable and I got a 3-scoop chocolate waffle cone for $8. They also have fresh-made aguas frescas that are made to-order and esquimales too! I highly recommend checking this spot out the next time you have a sweet tooth!

I hadn't been in YEARS. The broth is still as flavorful as…read moreI can remember! Luckily, we got there around 630ish (PM), because not too long after, there was someone coming in every 2 to 3 minutes until it was packed-this place is popular! Anyway, when we came in, we were told to just pick a seat anywhere we wanted. There are plenty of tables put together (family style) and once seated we were able to order right away. Like I said, after we came in, it started getting a little busy so the wait for our food was a little longer than I had expected (but not too bad, maybe about 10 minutes). However, we did order some spring rolls for appetizers and those came out right away..... later, when the broth came out it was nice and hot! Everything was delicious, the beef brisket and flank steak were flavorful on their own within the broth and nice and tender. Of course, the broth, like I said earlier was very flavorful and that's definitely what you want to expect eating pho. All of the wait staff were great, cheerful and happy/attentive. We'll definitely be back, as this is definitely our go to for Oceanside pho in this area.

After a long drive from NorCal and immediately going into a full day at Legoland, it was safe to…read moresay we all needed something comforting and delicious. A quick search on Yelp gave me a few decent options but Pho Oceanside won because they were opened later than the other businesses. Our party of 3 arrived at 7:45pm on a Friday night to a pretty quiet restaurant. There were only 2 other parties dining- one being a table of about 8-9 guests. The staff let us know we could pick our own seats and provided us with menus. The offerings here are very typically of what you would expect to find at a Vietnamese restaurant. Kudos for the vegetarian options for those non-carnivorous eaters. Dinner consisted of: *P14. RARE STEAK, FLANK, TENDON & TRIPE PHO (TÁI, NAM, GÂN, SÁCH) *L6. SEAFOOD (MÌ XÀO HẢI SẢN) Calamari, shrimp & fish ball *VIETNAMESE SANDWICH- GRILLED PORK [Cucumber, pickled carrot & daikon, onions, cilantro] So this is where the visit took a dive. The one male staff member cane by with a plate of veggies for the pho. What was provided had to be the worst portion and quality I had ever received. There was only one... YES, ONE!! sprig of basil and the basil was limp, crusty, and honestly just SAD!!! I was honestly ready to throw in the towel and mentally prepare myself for a poopy meal ahead. Thankfully, my guy spoke up and made a request with the gentleman in charge- he came out with an abundance of fresh thai basil. Food was surprisingly pretty good. My daughter enjoyed her seafood chow mein. The pho was alright but the broth could have been a bit more flavorful. The banh mi was my favorite of the night and i totally didn't see that coming. The sandwich wasn't aesthetically pretty on the eyes but the pork marinade was delicious. The cuts of meat were tender and the bread was soft yet crunch in all the right places. 4 stars overall. My only bit of advice is providing patrons with fresh, crisp herbs if you are going to skimp it down to 1 sprig per person.
