This is our favorite poke place near where we just moved from NYC. I have learned to avoid the spicy tuna as it’s a bit over the top for me personally, but every other ingredient is fantastic. Very high quality every time we have been there!

Great hidden poki place in San Juan Capo. very friendly staff, lots of options and fresh fish. avocado is free and both indoor and outdoor sitting

This place is pretty decent and convenient for us. I like it enough to go to when I’m too lazy to drive further. The portions are pretty good and the flavor is alright. The rice which I thought they made fresh came out of a bag which was a bit odd for me. I’m sure lots of places do this… but after realizing this… it did make sense why the rice consistency isn’t great.

Great service and very generous size poke bowls. Id recommend it for take out or even a quick healthy stop. They even have seating outiside!

The volume of the food they give you doesn’t match how much you pay. Small portions of fish cubes and small bow compared to any other Poke places. Go somewhere else to get a volume that at least matches how much you pay.

Its seems this is the sister restaurant to my favorite poke place in Irvine, Wow Bento. Poke bowl was perfect. Highly recommended!

4.5 starts. We were visiting and you always worry about new poki places. But this place is clean and the service is great! The portions or scoops of protein seem a little smaller than other places, but they seem to dish a little more. The selection of fish and proteins is outstanding.. they only have two sauces, if they had other sauces like a citrus wasabi or a ginger mix this place would get 5 stars. I highly recommend going here!

Best poke around, no contest. I refuse to go anywhere else, because these guys have perfected the poke bowl. The bowl for its price is extremely valuable, and they always give you extra fish that is 100%fresh. The consistency in there bowls is amazing. The rice is cooked to perfection every time and I recommend everyone to go here for your poke needs. I tried bear flag for the first over this place, and wow never again will I go to another poke place than wow. They have two other locations that are family owned and I frequent all locations

This is a fantastic local Poke spot with reasonable prices and generous portion. All the fish options you could ever want. Fish is always fresh and plenty of toppings to choose from. They also have a nice wood patio under the trees to eat.

We love this place! They are generous with their fish, their sauces are all amazing (though beware--they run on the spicy side!). Such a great, fresh meal. They keep it simple, so the focus can be on the amazing fish. Love it!

Best poke in Orange county. This cute hidden spot is definitely a locals destination. The staff is friendly. The space is clean and the fish is incredibly fresh. They offer a variety of bases for their bowls and a great selection of toppings. I absolutely love eating here

This place is a well hidden gem. If you dont know about it, you will have trouble finding it. Its tucked away next to a locksmith and isnt obvious from either side. However, when you do finally get inside, this place is great. Its a big hole in the wall and kind of like the subway of poke, but the food is so worth it. You get a huge amount of fish thats super fresh, the toppings are all amazing, and its reasonable. Dont expect to come here for a drink and a nice sit down dinner, its not that kind of place. But if you just want some really good poke that wont break the bank, this is the place to go.

Our FAVORITE poke place. When we lived in Dana point, wed go at least once a week! Now that we live in Utah, well drive across orange county just to go there, though Im sure were passing tons of other poke places. The fish always tastes fresh and they have great toppings and portions.

2020-08-08 22:28:11

Great little family owned spot kind of tucked in the back of the plaza, but if you find it is really worth looking for. Its the standard pokebowl type layout, but they offer really fresh fish along with all of the standard side ingredients that are done really well.

$10/12 for 3/5 scoops of fish. Fish cuts are a good size, but the scoops are a little small. Great tasting fish, good sauces. No extra charge for avocado! Personally I would have liked more crab meat than they gave me but overall great tasting food.

I love poke but I think Ive been spoiled by my favorite place. Their fish is fresh. Their other ingredients are good. Cheap miso soup! But I felt incredibly rushed and stupid for asking questions during lunch and there were only 3 other people in line.

Review №21

2019-04-28 07:17:21

Not impressed. After reading all of the awesome reviews about this place, it didn’t live up to my expectations. The fish was fresh, but there was a super limited amount of toppings, plus I was also disappointed that they only offered packaged wasabi. The avocado was brown and not very appetizing. But I was mostly disappointed with the service, the employees were rude and annoyed when I tried to purchase food. I probably won’t be back again.

This take away and very minimal eat in place is one which I have never been disappointed with. For around $10 you get an excellent poke bowl with a good variety of fish, salads, and dressings.

Great spot and good poke bowl! Not many places let you get exactly what you want but this place does.The fish is good and the toppings make for a great bowl. I would recommend this spot.

Really good polo bowls, as well as burritos. Very good price for quality fish that fills you up, but it does sometimes get stinky from them making lots of fresh rice in the shop.

I come here all the time. I say if you are a sushi or raw fish type of person this place will be great for you to try, to top it off their miso soup is amazing :)

I was expecting a lot out of this place as people rave about it and it has great reviews on several sites but I wasnt as impressed as I wanted to be. Dont get me wrong, it was good, but the new place around the corner impressed me more. And for a better price.
