My favorite go-to poke place. This is a medium bowl. Price is reasonable and I find all the ingredients fresh.

This is my go to poke spot in Yorba Linda. The quality is always consistent and they are very quick preparing to-go orders as well. I usually get the large or medium poke bowl and occasionally the Miso soup. I order from here almost once a week!

This place TRULY does not do justice to the quality of the food. The actual locale looks like a 4 out of 5 stars kind of place. But the food is 5 out of 5 all across the board! (Except the boba, the milk tea itself was delicious, though). I ordered a large 5 scoop poke bowl and not only was the flavor just as good as some of the giants, such as Uroko Cafe or Poke Tiki, but they also have as a topping, for NO ADDITIONAL COST: GUAC!!. The food was amazing, service was fast and truly its a great place to come and eat.

Great tasting food. Excellent selection. Really enjoyed that this place is opened later in the evening (830 closing) as most poke places close at 7. Servings are a bit smaller than my usual place, but overall definitely worth the price. Will be going back again soon!

Excellent small restaurant with AMAZING prices. You can get a legit bowl of ramen or a bowl of poke for $10! That is unheard of in todays insane greedflation economy.First time here and they had high quality service and eager to please workers taking care of the orders and prep which was nice and made the experience smooth and pleasant.The food itself was very tasty and sizably portioned. I was shocked at the quantity and price. I ordered the sushi burrito for $10 (I usually pay $15 at my favorite poke spot by my house as a comparison). I highly recommend going to this spot before the prices shoot up 40-60% in the next 12 months. They deserve your patronage either way.

This was my 1st Poke experience. I didnt know what to expect. A friend suggested I step out of my comfort zone. Staff explained the basics and I chose items I would normally eat. I was pleased by my creation. Im looking forward to going back.

Honestly, the food was great, but don’t get the Bubble Tea! I’m not sure why it’s on their menu, it made me feel sick and I had to toss it. They insisted it was fresh, but it was nasty.The ramen and poke were good, but the Bubble Tea ruined it for me.

Ordered Ramen (3.5/5) and poke (4/5).Ramen was just so so, but not the worst in the area.Poke gives a lot of interesting protein (squid, octopus, cooked eel, crawfish, plenty of cooked or raw options) and topping choices (cilantro, sushi ginger, masago, onions, green onions, seaweed salad, pineapples, etc). Interesting combo, but the raw fish isnt the freshest around.

Not bad pretty good offerings and tons of choices. They open around 1030am and closes pretty early. Not bad for a quick snack

Review №11

2021-08-22 23:08:00

The rice to fish ratio was off, there was too much rice, making the dish bland. Also, there was not enough sauce, which is one of the most important parts of a poke bowl.

WE LOVE POKEOLOGY! We go at least once a week and have been since before the pandemic. They have way better and more creative options than most other poke places I’ve tried. Even my friends from out of town will request to eat at Pokeology and say that it’s the best poke place they’ve ever been to. The workers are super quick and kind, they even know when it’s us that’s calling our order in! Def our favorite spot!

Review №17

2022-07-21 01:21:10

Got medium poke from them, price was less than comparable poke places. Good quality over all but the inside decor needs help. I would call this place a hole in the wall. Havent tried their teriyaki bowl or Ramen yet....

Review №18

2021-09-01 01:18:18

Been going here since it opened. Love their options, but slowly.... They started charging for avocado when before it was included, portions have gotten significantly smaller and prices increased! I Still go, definitely not as often as before. It is tasty and i do like their squid salad so if you visit give it a try...

Easily the best poke I’ve ever had. Their quality is top notch, their servings are generous, and the service of their employees there is always very friendly and respectful!

Incredible! I loved it so much. Its a perfect poke bowl. Service was friendly and fast, I was in and out in just a couple of minutes. Ive eaten a LOT of poke and I was blown away by how good this place is. Please get out there and support your local businesses!!!!

Me and my wife came here during covid for our anniversary dinner. They had a nice outdoor area and good service. The wine selection was good and the recommendation we received was top notch.

This location has excellent service, and thats what keeps me coming back. I always enjoy a poke bowl, and this is just one of the places I frequent. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and theyve got the right sauces to finish it all off (some bowls at other locations are too dry for my taste).

The food was soooooo good.Ahi all the way.

Review №25

2021-03-20 04:04:01

Really good! It’s hard to find poke places that serve tofu (in vegetarian) and this one just newly added tofu to their menu so I’m for sure going to be ordering here at least once a week probably.Usually I have to go down to Orange to get it.I Postmates’d it and ordered the sauces on the side so it wouldn’t get soggy and it was so good!The portions are great, and the topping choices they offer pair really well with it.Some topping they offer are pickled radishes (the yellow ones like in kimbap/sushi), pickled jalapeño, and crunchy onions!!!!!They use a leafy green lettuce not iceberg so extra points for that!Overall really satisfied with the flavor and options.

Review №26

2019-02-15 04:34:51

To be honest. The price doesnt really equal to the other places for the same amount of food. And specially for a guy like me, I would say the bowl is pretty small.. however the taste is good for what you pay for. Staff is friendly.

Review №27

2019-02-27 22:51:46

The food is pretty good. Make sure to avoid a lunch line. Ive eaten there at least a dozen times and theyve only messed up one order. Kind of pricey though. I probably dont want more often if it didnt cost two meals worth. So its only a sometimes treat.

Review №28

The best poke place around. Anytime I have time to order from them I do. Everything is always fresh and tastes great!

Bought 2 large boxes for lunch today for our family with salmon, spicy tuna and spicy shrimp. We have both been in the restroom all afternoon with an upset stomach. Seeing as other reviewers have had this problem I recommend you avoid this location.

I ordered a poke bowl for delivery and it tasted and looked great! However, the next day later I had a severe case of indigestion that made me go to the emergency room. I told them I ate raw fish, and an hour later, the doctor told me I digested spoiled fish. I recommend NEVER going to this place again. It is a such a waste of money.

Review №31

2021-07-06 02:26:13

This used to be my favorite poke place. The ingredients were fresh with generous portion, fast and friendly service. The price was decent. I supported them thru Covid but now Im disappointed. The price has not gone up much but the portion is getting smaller and smaller. So disappointed.

Review №32

2018-04-10 04:30:52

My favorite Poke place. I will drive 30 minutes out of the way, mainly because of how incredibly nice their staff is, 100% of the time. The food being great is a bonus. I always leave here admiring their outstanding customer service.

This place was sooooo yummy and so fire

Review №34

2021-11-07 22:45:42

First time here and last time. No flavor in their food and thats adding the sauces. Avocado was smashed and looked old. My recommendation is go to spin poke & grill. I would have went there but they are closed on Sundays.

Review №35

2018-09-16 04:06:26

I have multiple food allergies...the man who helped me was very patient and cautious with my bowl. He even went into the back to verify the ingredients in a couple of the sauces. The piece of mind that he gave me is worth more than 5 stars. Not to mention that the food was super yummy!

Review №36

2017-10-23 22:26:44

Pokeology is my go-to for poke. Great service. Great price, especially for how much they give you. Pokeology is cool, because they have a special way of making your bowl that i have yet to see at any other rival poke spots. 5 stars!!!

Review №37

2019-06-28 22:49:26

Yes.... This place is amazing. Just go in their and I promise you wont be disappointed unless your going to the one in orange mall because that one does not give that much food. Yorba Linda however, you will learn to love every employee their. Trust this place is a must when going for poke/raw fish.

Review №38

2018-10-28 15:09:59

Loved the freshness of all ingredients. The only reason I took a star off was they forgot to give me my coupon discount and didnt offer to fix it. I understand that there was a line behind me, but he couldve done it after.

2020-08-27 21:30:51

Come here at least twice a week for a medium bowl of Poke. Ingredients are always fresh and delicious, and staff are very friendly. If you’re looking for a great spot for some healthy Japanese food this is it.

Was the best price and quality poke Ive had 🙂

Review №42

2020-05-28 07:31:02

Ordered through Postmates, and they are by far the worst Poke bowl Ive ever had!!! The jalapeños they used are pickled and throw the entire taste of the Poke off!!! The sizes are exactly the same just addition protein choices. The only give you a very small amount of Wasabi that you cant even taste once added to you bowl. Not to mention my Fiance and I have had nothing but stomach issues all night since about 45 min after eating!! NEVER AGAIN!! 🤮

Best Poke place in Yorba Linda and a great spot for lunch. I usually get it to go, but theres plenty of seating and a hip atmosphere.PLUS...You dont have to pay extra for avocado!

Review №44

I always get excited when I hear about poke joints in YL, but this one didnt live up to the hype for me.I came here because it was relatively new and I wanted to try it out. Im a huge fan of poke bowls, and what really sets different poke restaurants apart from each other really comes down to the toppings that are included with the price you pay and the level of service you receive.* PRICE / PORTION *A regular bowl is $8.95 and a large bowl is $11.75. Regular is 3 scoops of fish vs a large which is 5. I wouldnt recommend getting the large unless youre really hungry or youre splitting it with somebody else.* TOPPINGS *I really like that they give generous portions for each topping, especially the seaweed salad which I have always had to pay for (its free here)! Im slightly disappointed that their avocado topping has gone from being free to an additional charge of $0.49. I also think its strange how they have a huge amount of day-old avocado in a quarter pan when they should have just preserved the freshness of the avocado with some lemons. It looks more appealing that way, in my opinion.The house sauce is alright. I believe its a mixture of soy sauce and peanut oil, which doesnt really send me. Not much of a kick to it but not much flavor other than the peanut either. The sauce truly makes it or breaks it for me, so I would recommend trying out a different sauce than their house special.* SERVICE *The employees are NICE, but nice really doesnt cut it for me. I was very disappointed to see that one of the food service workers had so many strands of hair sticking outside of her ponytail and hat. I thought the purpose of wearing a hat was to keep hair away from the food, so why isnt anyone there to tell her to redo her ponytail? Speaking of anyone there, where was the manager on duty? Or the assistant manager? Or a supervisor? I checked in on Yelp to receive my free miso soup and neither the FSW nor the cashier had any idea about the promotion. Instead, the cashier decided to call his manager on the phone to verify the promotion rather than just honoring it. Cmon, the miso soup was only $1. Im not so much disappointed in not getting the miso soup as I am about there not being any authoritative figure there at all.I hope that they can make improvements with the quality of their service and the presentation of their food/toppings. Maybe then will I return to this location for a second chance.

Fast service, friendly staff. Im only giving 3 stars though because the shrimp wasnt properly cleaned. I was hoping it was just a one of, but most of the shrimp I received still had the vein.

Kahlo is a slick new addition to the rapidly growing restaurant scene in the Hudson Yards area. Tucked down a side street and underneath some scaffolding, Kahlo is a Mexican restaurant that is both polished and beautiful to experience, but is also friendly and welcoming at the same time.
