I ordered an Ocean Deep Poke Bowl as well as Fish Tacos, and i’ve got to say for the price it was absolutely delicious! The poke bowl i ordered with salmon was perfect, the salmon was fresh and had fat to it which made it more savory. (p.s they also gave me a free bowl of miso soup). And the fish tacos were superb, the fried fish on the inside was crunchy and added with their made sauce, cilantro, and tomatoes. 10/10 recommended

Great food at reasonable prices! The owners are very nice. They will also do their best to accommodate your preferences. Went here with my dad who has diabetes and did not eat raw fish. They happily made a low carb version of their meals just for him. He was so happy!Definitely will be back again.

Great Poke Bowl place. Really big portions and cheaper than the other places around the area. $11.95 for the regular size AND it is served with an additional miso soup, and you get the choice of 3 protein options (13.95 for the choice of 5 protein options also with a free side of miso soup) and the regular size gives the amount of food as a large size at other places too! Can totally recommend!!! And everything tastes so fresh! Also they have specials on Thursdays and Saturdays!

No leftovers here, folks. Just the Oceans Deep being shallow af. They did me dirty today. Super upsetting. They dont normally screw you over like this. Apparently shrinkflation has hit Pick-a-Poke. This portion can easily fit in the smaller bowl.

Didnt realize there was a place like this. Its very quiet and clean inside the restaurant but the food did come out kind of slow for a poke bowl place.The poke bowl for 5 protein is a fair price and the fish I feel were ok fresh.Overall, not a bad place for some poke in a not too crowded place.

I absolutely love this place! I come in at least twice a week. I can never get enough of their salmon skin sisig. They always have fresh veggies and proteins and the portions are plenty. If youre not in the mood for poke/fish, try the chicken katsu... delicious!! The drinks are yummy, i recommend the cucumber water or the red mint one.... ugh they are so good!! Youll want to come back to this place!!

Kinda of a crowded dining area, ordered but I guess I didn’t understand how to order so sat there for 15 minutes while she helped customers that came 10minutes after me. Food was great tho!

Their portions, customization, and pricing on their Saturday special make this the best poke place Ive ever tried. If you dont like poke but do want some cheap eats, their chicken katsu rice bowl is also a good offering.

Delicious and super fresh. Generous portions- even the smaller size was enough for me. Excellent seafood, excellent toppings, and excellent sauces.

Local family-owned customizable poke place. There are two sizes (3 scoop and 5 scoop), with a variety of fish types. The prices are very fair for the amount of food that they give. You can order on the phone or through GrubHub. There were also a couple of tables for outdoor seating. I tried the spicy salmon and spicy tuna, which was a good level of spice. You can get white rice, brown rice, tortilla chips, or mixed greens (or go half-half) as a base, with an unlimited number of toppings. There are a few other hot cooked food options as well as macaron ice cream sandwiches and drinks.My mom really loved her salmon skin sisig bowl. Coincidentally, it came with a free soda (ordered it on a Friday at lunch), which was a pleasant surprise. The service was very friendly and quick; they are welcoming and there was a decent stream of people coming in and out for food. Credit cards are accepted. Parking is easy, as it’s located in the grocery store complex.Overall, this place had generous portions, decent fish, and very friendly employees - I’ll be back!

If youre looking for a tasty, fresh poke bowl, this is a great place to get it from. They have a variety of protein selections and very generous with the toppings. They have over half a dozen sauce options as well, making the bowl you create truly your own.PS: Quick and friendly service, too.

The people working there at the time of my visit were excellent but let’s get down to how the food was executed I hear the other dishes are good just from reading through the reviews, I just went it for two poke bowls one for myself to review for quality and one for my partner to try. The rice base for both brown and white were quite dry not in a good way the portion size is great although would be better if they were chopped into smaller chunks instead of slabs (ahi tuna) for saucing purposes. When it came down to sauces they definitely are missing spicy sauces for those that like a zing to their bowl the amount of sauce they use could use refinement. Although they use paper bowls the problem with them is since they are flat on the bottom the sauces don’t evenly distribute on the bowl unless you use excessive amounts but don’t let this review stop you from trying it just sharing my honest opinion *experience may vary*

Amazing from beginning to end. Fresh ingredients and protein, great price, generous portion, amazing customer service....this place has it ALL!! My favourite poke place in LA thus far. The owner is super nice too. Plus you get a miso soup with your bowl. It doesn’t get much better than this folks!

Really good food, a bit pricey but still affordable. I love the Salmonskin Pao and Kinda Deep bowl its really the Bomb💣! And dont forget the drinks its good too. Owners are friendly and their service are exceptional but their grownup kids need some tweak on their attitude towards customers because some customers feel awkward and intimadated. Just saying. 4 stars!

Their menu offering is interesting. There is something for everyone. The ones we have tried were tasty and the portion sizes were generous. They tasted fresh and were seasoned well.They also now offer ihaw-ihaw on weekends. You choose your skewered meat and grill it yourself. We can’t wait to try their other menu items. Service is friendly. Can’t wait to be back!

Owners were super friendly and tried to accomodate the unexpected line of people who stumbled into this place like me and welcoming back regulars wearing their masks.A good selection of fish with nice sized scoops, a lot of choice of sauces, but I stiuck with my standard Sesame oil, many toppings including kimchi cucumber which Ive never seen anywhere else and was glad I had. It was a nice addition to the regular cucumber and brought extra flavor to my bowl. I asked for extra ginger because its my favorite and it was given.If Im ever out there for work again Ill definitely head there. It was good.

Review №33

2019-08-09 03:11:17

If you want to pick a good poke place, pick this one! This is favorite local poke place. I got the Kinda Deep and I was left feeling like I should have gotten Oceans Deep. The fish was good and paired well with their house Ohana sauce. They have all the usual toppings. This place is definitely worth the pick.

Review №34

2020-08-28 19:24:04

Good friendly service. Typically good protein choices. Although, this trip was a bit fishy, meaning not so fresh. Not enough sauce either a little dry. I do enjoy their cucumber cooler though.

This is definitely a hidden 💎 gem, I have been living close by the area for over 15 yrs, I only have been coming here for over a year now and I normally dont write a review but I goggle the address for a friend and realized as much as I recommend this place that its been long overdue for a very deserved review, I dont come as much as I want to even though price is affordable I couldnt afford it due to pandemic and times are hard, if I have a choice to eat there everyday I would lol especially the kids the whole fam loves it, their staff is very friendly and family oriented, portion size is very generous, extra sauce is recommended upon request, most importantly what I like about this place is I feel welcome and the fish is fresh and we all know when it comes to raw fish we want it nice and fresh and not for it to Taste bad or slimey, one of my favorite is oceans deep bowl and it also comes with a side of soup and my husbands favorite is the salmon sisig bao hands down with a splash of like perfect combination. They have daily specials everyday as well. Oh btw I get the bowl with half rice half salad 🥗 with extra sauce I put all the spicy ones and the house sauce love love love .Im a fat girl its a big bowl and I eat it all up too lol.. Must Try ...

I was surprised and enjoyed their pricing while they didnt raise it during inflation. It was very competitive. Inflation finally hit this place in 2022 October. Still they keep their poke fresh and have a good portion.

I go here a lot! Great portions at great prices. There are other dishes besides poke here. The ramen and fish tacos are surprisingly good. There are drinks, too!

Review №38

2019-08-04 02:47:04

Full Chicken Katsu with salad for $7, what a bargain! Also when I had Poke, proportions are on point. Their loyalty punch card is pretty robust. Free drink, 50% off kinda deep and 100% off kinda deep. Thats like $16 back in food.

2020-08-26 23:16:57

I gave 1 just for food which is default but what made everything so bad was the girl who was wearing a blue John the Baptist shirt that was angry or mad the whole time from when we came in with no greeting as she finishes her previous order to when she hands out our order still with anger planted on her face. But really why do customer service type of work if you cannot give proper customer service and if youre having a bad day then to take a break or dont go to work at all. That type of attitude at work ruins a multitude of things and affects people that you actually serve. Do yourself a favor give your job to someone else whos dying to have a job.
