I have been going to this location since it was Poké Bar, now known as Wow Poke. Even though the name changed, they still offer the same options of size, base, proteins, mix-ins, sauce, sides, and toppings. The portion size is decent, and the price is usually around what poke costs nowadays. The quality of the fish is okay, but can't compare it to Hawaiian Fresh Seafood in San Diego (the literal best I've tasted so far outside of Hawaii). The good thing about this place is you get to pick as many mix ins or sides while other poke shops around the area only allow 2 sides/mix ins/toppings. I also like the convenience of being able to fill out an order form and just being called when the order is ready. There are plenty of seats inside and outside if you decide to dine in. read more

It was my first time back since they rebranded from Poke Bar to Wow Poke, and I was curious to see if anything had changed. Happy to say the freshness is still on point. The fish tastes clean and buttery, and everything behind the counter looks vibrant and well-prepped. Price-wise, it seems to have stayed about the same, though the portions felt slightly smaller than what I remember from before. That said, the quality definitely hasn't dipped. I especially love the addition of multiple new sauces -- it adds more ways to customize your bowl and really elevate the flavor profile. The combinations hit all the right notes, from savory to spicy to a little sweet if that's your vibe. Service is quick and efficient, making it an easy go-to when you want something fresh without a long wait. Overall, still a solid poke spot that delivers on flavor and quality. read more

WOW POKE - Poke - Seafood Near Me - Cerritos, California

I believe Poke Bar is now Wow Poke, might've changed ownership/management. However I think everything still tastes the same, fresh, and great quality ingredients. When you first start, you grab a menu paper and fill out what you want in your order which I like. You mark what all the ingredients you want in your bowl which is super convenient! I ordered the small bowl with salmon for my protein it comes with two scoops, half brown rice, and half salad. They are very generous with the portions! Service was great, everyone was very nice and helpful. They make your bowl to order! Ambiance is nice, lots of indoor seating and also outdoor seating as well! read more

We will not be returning. The person making our bowl had a huge attitude when we asked her not to mix the bowl. I asked her if she could put the toppings on the side and she rolled her eyes to get her manager to serve us. Manager was much friendlier but the service is not great and my kids hated it so much it was the first time they refused to eat their bowl. They usually want 2nd bowls from other poke restaurants read more

Wow Poké! Stopped by Wow Poké a little before noon and had a great experience. When you walk in, you have two ordering options: you can grab a paper sheet, write down exactly what you want, and hand it to them, or order Subway-style while they build your bowl in front of you. Super easy and efficient. The restaurant was very clean and organized. It was empty when I arrived, but within minutes more people started coming in, so I can tell this place fills up quickly around lunch. Portion options are clear: Small: 2 proteins Medium: 3 proteins Large: 4 proteins I ordered the medium bowl with salmon, shrimp, and spicy tuna. My base was salad and brown rice, topped with seaweed salad, crab, masago, cucumber, avocado, seaweed flakes, and sauce. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from -- I usually go with ponzu, but I decided to try their house-made sauce and I'm really glad I did. It was delicious and tied everything together perfectly. I also grabbed a coconut water. Total came out to about $20, which felt fair for the quality and portions. Service was fast, I was in and out in under 10 minutes. This spot feels more like a grab-and-go place than somewhere you'd linger, though there is seating if you want to eat there. On a less busy day, it would be nice to sit and enjoy your bowl. Overall, fresh ingredients, quick service, and a solid lunch option if you're in the Cerritos area. I'd definitely come back. read more

WOW POKE - Seafood Near Me - Cerritos, California

I visited this business again, and the same girl was there. I asked if we could order, and another coworker said we could. I thanked the other girl, but I noticed the girl from before got upset because she told me that. My friend ordered a medium, just like me, and we asked for extra vegetables. They put a small amount, and the girl said, "We can't put extra." This happened the same thing when we came before. If we spend more than $50, I want extra vegetables. I don't know why the girl is always angry when we go. She doesn't offer avocado or other things. I wouldn't come back to this place because I feel she has something against us. I don't mind spending money, but I want to ensure that I receive good service and a good quantity of the product. There is a manager but she doesn't care read more

This poke place is funny, I like this place don't get me wrong it's a great spot! Even at the Small Bowl (under $15 as of this review) options they'll hit you up with a near to full bowl of all the condiments, sides, and toppings. Upon entering you grab a order slip and check off the size, proteins, toppings, and garnishes for your bowl. But every time I come here they seem to get something wrong (except for the proteins, like pineapple when I didn't mark that or sauce that was missing in the bag when I noted in as clear as I can "ON THE SIDE"), really gives the "Ah they forgot this, but I'll still enjoy it!" vibe. BUT IT'S ON THAT NOTE THAT IF YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING, CHECK YOUR BOWL OR EMPHASIZE IT TO THEM. Oh, the order slip also asks to leave your number down so they can text you when your bowl is ready, but I never received that text. They do at least tell you that "They will work on it shortly", so that's possibly the reason. The seating is alright, a bit narrow I'd say but never gets busy where that may be an issue. There are outdoor tables so that's an option. Again, the portions are generous, if you ask for a certain topping such as crab meat or seaweed salad they WILL give you crab meat or seaweed. Definitely my go-to spot for poke craving. read more

I wanted to bring up an issue I had with one of your staff members today. I asked for seaweed that was forgotten, politely and the response was rude. The staff member repeated 'I put seaweed in there' multiple times and asked for extra $1. Mind you he shook his head in a petty manner while saying it. A coworker later corrected the mistake and gave it to me for free. As a regular customer, I'd appreciate more understanding and better customer service in the future." its okay to forget and be wrong sometimes and I wouldn't choose to be emotional over a forgotten order read more

Food is good but this is bullshit that I have to fill out a form to order food an can't just tell to the guy making my food it's so impersonal and not a friendly environment read more

Had a taste for something healthy and fresh so we tried out Wow Poke. The bowl items looked fresh and well stocked but the ordering process was not ideal. The servers were talking to each other and not very helpful. The ordering sheet was a little overwhelming so I was hoping they would offer some assistance but no. I asked a few questions and ordered. They seemed a little slow but the food was good. We ordered 3 bowls and was happy with the taste. The place was newly updated with bright colors and signage. However, there were so many handwritten notes on the doors and walls about what you could or could not do. Don't touch this. Don't wear this inside, etc. Not very welcoming in my opinion. Food alone was a 4 but service was a 3. read more

Hard to speak over the loud music, maybe that's why there's an optional form to fill out. Two workers were smiling and smirking with each other. Did I say something funny? It was a mediocre portion. Think it depends on the worker that day. Needs more sauce. Overall, not the best poke spot. read more

WOW POKE - Poke bowel - Seafood Near Me - Cerritos, California

I am extremely disappointed with my order today. I specifically paid for a Large bowl (4 scoops of protein) plus an extra scoop, as well as extra rice. Looking at what I actually received in these photos, the portions do not reflect what I paid for at all. It seems they switched to an order form system so they can prep the food away from the counter, which unfortunately means you can't watch them assemble the bowl to ensure the portions are correct. When I realized the mistake and tried to call to speak with a manager, I couldn't get a serious response. The staff, specifically the guy and the girl with red hair, didn't seem to care or take the issue seriously. I essentially paid a premium price for a bowl that looks like a small or medium at best. Between the skimpy protein and the lackadaisical attitude of the staff, I won't be coming back. Save your money and go somewhere where they actually give you what you pay for. read more

Conflicted writing this review as Poke Bar Cerritos has long been my favorite local pick for poke. What I really enjoyed was their customizable selection of seafood, veggies, and sauces, allowing you to have a flavor bomb of a rice bowl. I usually get a large bowl with salmon and tuna with fire ponzu and all of the sides (crab, corn, jalapeno, cucumber, fried garlic, fried onions) I could fit in the bowl. Two issues cause me to downgrade my review to 3 stars: First, I feel that the fish freshness has been inconsistent. Second, they've kind of changed the order process where you choose what you want by paper. They're pretty consistent with getting everything you ask for on your order, but I liked being able to order it by pointing and choosing what I wanted. It's a small difference, but it made my experience better. I still feel that Poke Bar a decent option for poke bowls in the area and I still like the customizability of flavors in their rice bowls; however, I just expect more from their freshness if it's a place that I'd enthusiastically recommend. read more

This poke spot stands out for its quality and presentation. The selection of fish is excellent, and everything tastes fresh without being mixed together in a sloppy way--you can really enjoy each ingredient. There's a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it comfortable whether you're dining in or taking your time. Portions per scoop could be a bit more generous, but overall they're fair for the price. Service was just okay--likely because it was busy during my visit--but the food more than made up for it. A solid choice if you're looking for fresh poke done right. read more

Been here twice now and I gotta say this poke spot is actually super good! Their quality of ingredients are fresh and they dont skimp out on the toppings unlike other places. The price point is worth it since their quality of fish and other ingredients a good as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you want to taste certain sauces that you are unsure of. Definitely recommend :) read more

I don't typically write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one. The only reason I'm leaving 2 stars is because we actually enjoyed the food. However, the customer service experience we had was cold and lacking. My boyfriend and I arrived 30 minutes before closing. While checking out, my boyfriend asked for a cup of ice and he was told by the cashier, "no because the ice machine is broken." Normally that wouldn't be an issue, but next to the register was a water dispenser filled with ice?? We both looked at the dispenser but let it go. Then I asked her if we could sit inside to eat our food but she said, "No we're about to close." (Keep in mind there's still 20 minutes left before closing and there's no other customers). Finally I asked if we could sit at the tables outside and another worker said, "Sorry, I just finished wiping the tables down and they need to be clean by the time I leave." I understand that people want to leave work on time, but that doesn't excuse the blatant lying and lack of hospitality. Disappointed in the service. It was our first and will be our last time here. read more

The new owners of this place really need to train their staff. We ordered pickup through Clover and they literally got our order wrong. It seems to be the norm according to the reviews. It wasn't even a small mistake, it was the entire order. Also, their quality has gone way down. The rice is obviously old too. Do not come here until they have addressed all the issues. read more

Been here a handful of times and it never disappoints! Such a great variety of toppings for one fixed and reasonable price! My only complaint is I need a bigger bowl to fit it all. Staff is always friendly and I always come away satisfied. Love this place! read more

WOW POKE - Medium size, mostly salmon sushi rice bowl - Seafood Near Me - Cerritos, California

This has been my go-to spot for poke lately. The ingredients are fresh and the bowls are filling! Be forewarned, the parking lot is tightly packed though we've never had trouble finding parking. It's just a bit narrow and tricky for oversized SUVs trying to maneuver around each other. The restaurant itself has a bit of indoor and outdoor seating, but we usually get our food to go. As is normal with poke spots, you can fill out all your options on a slip of paper and hand it to the staff to make it for you (recommended) or just walk up and tell them what you want. The place gets busy sounds lunch, though, so it makes it quicker for everybody to fill out the slips and then wait for them to call your name when it's all made. I really like this place because of all the extras. They have the normal stuff like seaweed salad, crab salad, edamame, etc. but what take makes it fun is the dry toppings like nuts and crushed Cheetos! They also have a lot of different sauces that you can mix and match to find your favorite flavors. The food is always fresh and tastes delicious. It's not cheap, but reasonable for what you get... basically a bowl of sushi with all the toppings you want! read more

Clean, modern, fresh. Poke Bar is fairly new and has some kinks to figure out, however the food is legit! With poke shops being such a trend, I want to call out which ones stand out me. Luis walked me through all of the selections and man is it tasty! The 'small' is a big small :) Base- half sushi rice, half spring salad 2 scoops- salmon, bay scallops with a fresh sauce Sauces- Wasabi mayo, unagi Toppings- seaweed salad, crab, masago, sprinkle of furikake I may make this my Sunday evening spot! read more

This is my go-to!! Every time we want some poke, this is the place my hubby and I go to! Service is fast and always with a smile! Shout out to Amber, Dee, and Lynn. They not only provided great service but hooked it up with our bowls! I always get a small with spicy salmon and tuna and/or albacore. Never taste old or fishy. I enjoy 1/2 brown rice & 1/2 salad to give me that fresh taste and filling end. Lots of sides and toppings to choose from. Of course will be back! read more

Really disappointing experience. I placed a pickup order and the employee handling it was unnecessarily rude and dismissive when I asked about my order, acting like I was inconveniencing them. There was no professionalism or basic courtesy. To make things worse, when I got home I realized items I paid for were missing, which shows a lack of attention to detail and quality control. If you're going to charge premium prices, the least you can do is treat customers respectfully and make sure orders are complete. Definitely not the experience I expected. read more

Been here many times and will remain coming here. I don't give them 5 stars because every single time I come here the servers attitudes are weird. Don't get me wrong they're helpful and explain the menu whenever you have a question; however why are they condescending .. They genuinely seem like they'd rather be doing anything else. Theres two ways of ordering: on a ticket or at the front. I always order at the front and i honestly feel like they get passive aggressive when you DONT order on the ticket lol. The dining area is always clean. The quality and quantity of this place is amazing. I love coming here, so I tolerate it. read more

My go-to poke spot!! Wish there was online ordering available but I at least appreciate the paper order forms especially when I have to order for multiple people. Overall, this is a great chipotle-like poke place where you can choose rice, salad, or tortilla chips as your base. I do not recommend tortilla chips (it's the crock pot nachos kind not the one you'll see in restaurants for poke nachos). I usually like to get salad and put my own rice at home. The salmon and tuna have always tasted fresh to me and haven't had a problem here. I love the veggie and sauce options too as it provides the perfect combo for my taste buds! It's often packed here during peak lunch and dinner hours. It feels like they're always a bit short on staff here for some reason? Besides that, they are usually very kind and helpful and I know they do their best to make each order. I do notice during busy hours, though, the bowls are not made with a lot of consistency or ingredients. It's definitely rushed. Specifically, I've seen them barely even mix the sauce into the proteins and veggies (just barely pinched together). read more

the mexican girl doesn't look happy to serve us,when we bring the food home ,food spilled all over the bag, we got diarrhea after ate the food,never come back here again read more

Looks like this place rebranded or something but my past couple visits were less than stellar as before. Let's first start off with the pros. Customer service is still on point everyone is very helpful and friendly. The fish is still fresh and tasty. Live ordering, paper ordering, or mobile options are still available. Now the cons: the prices have stayed the same (which isn't cheap) but the portions are way less than before. The customization choices have also decreased, though there are still plenty of options. Finally some amenities seemed to be broken. The restroom was out of order and their hot tea machine was broken. Some inconveniences that detracted from my earlier 5 Star rating. Went from a must place to get poke to just another custom poke bowl option. read more

Wow, incredible. Nutritious and delicious. Great value, perfect service. Ambiance is fine but the place isn't really meant to be a dine in place, I don't think, though there are many chairs...could be tight. Highly recommend if you want something delicious, diet friendly and with great bang for the buck. I got a large bowl with sushi rice, all salmon, crab, avocado, seaweed, corn, sweet onion, cucumber, cilantro, green onion, ginger and wasabi. The house sauce is delicious. read more

Every time I come here, it's amazing. The team always does such a great job -- everything is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The rice-to-protein ratio and portion sizes are on point every single time. It's also super easy to order, they're fast, and they get you in and out without any hassle. You can tell they really care about quality and consistency. Definitely a 5-star spot all the way! read more

It was ok. There were a ton of toppings, even up to Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and sauces galore. I just think all of that takes away from tasting the fish and the quality of it. After a while, I couldn't taste anything other than a big saucy, hot mayo mess. Like finger painting as a kid where you mix all the colors together and it just becomes a gray mess at the end. It does get the job done. Next time, I will just make it a point avoid 1/2 of the sauces and toppings so I can enjoy the rest of the flavor of the fish and rice. I loved the anonymous anti-social card you can fill out though and just hand it to them. That was a great feature. You do not have to hover over them and point at one bin and not another. You can just hand them 1 piece of paper, sit down, and wait for your name to be called. Very easy. read more
