$19 for a large bowl of poke is ok but don't try to charge me extra for a second spoonful of fried onion. The person who came out to take my order was in a hurry, and it was obvious. I shouldn't be able to notice that you're in a hurry. Bad customer service.

Veryyyy good poke! i got tuna, salmon, octopus and they were very generous with the protein scoops. The only thing that was off was the rice, but I came close to closing so maybe it was just the bottom of the barrel. Oh, the miso soup was also very salty, but again, probably bottom of the barrel. I've been coming here throughout the past 3 years I've lived here and tried other spots too - this poke place is my favorite.Wheelchair accessibility: no steps and a ramp to enter from the parking lot. double doors that can be opened and a clear walkway

decent lil place! i wanted spicy mayo. my bowl was really dry. they gave me no soy sauce. i mean thanks for the free miso soup on a hott 100 degree california day. they seemed to have a decent variety of sauces. the ponzu seemed spicy and different thannthe regular ponzu (i think the chick grabbed the wrong one) my food wasnt really spicy. i may come back if im in the area but i wouldnt make a special trip.

Reasonable prices compared to other poke in the area, good selection of proteins and toppings, very good portions.

Best Poke in town. Poke is similar to sushi just chopped up with tasty sauces and additional ingredients of your choice. Food is delicious and love the bowls, sauces and soup. The servers are quite handsome too (just saying...). You can eat inside too has a small sit down, relaxing restaurant ambience.

It was our first time here. The lady was nice to me but seemed impatient to my friends. I got the regular bowl with spicy salmon. For the sauce, I got spicy mayo and the 911. I don't know if it's because of the stuff I got but it tasted kind of sour, which was a bit weird. Also, the regular bowl came with a miso soup but it was also sour. It wasn't bad at all but I don't think I'll be going back since the flavoring was throwing me off.

Poke Ave never disappoints! The service is always friendly. Their fish is very good quality compared to a lot of other poke places in the area. And the food is definitely worth the price! I usually share a large ($19) with my boyfriend and we get so full from their serving size. Plus it comes with miso soup!

I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but I don’t want visit this place again. I’m so annoyed. I usually don’t get bothered by the little things, but sometimes that’s all it takes. I only ordered rice, fish, and topped it with fried garlic and onion. I asked for an additional side of fried onion because I like to eat half, save the other for lunch and I want that crunch, but they said they’d have to charge me extra. Really?! I’m sure it was only a minimal fee, meanwhile my husband’s bowl was overflowing with one of everything on the menu. I made them recognize that fact and they said that’s just how it is. We spent almost $50 and they still wanted to charge me for a little thing of fried onions. I wanted to love this place, and we’d go all the time, but I’ll find someplace else where I don’t have to worry about being charged for a topping.
Portion pretty big compare to other pokiOwner is nicePoki is good

Haven't been here in a while but am happy to say it's still good! I'm a little bummed the prices are kinda high now ($16 for regular bowl and $19 for a large), but I do think they have better quality fish than your run-of-the-milk poke place in this area. The place is super immaculate and I love that they give free filtered water. Service was really friendly and helpful. What I recommend: brown rice, salmon + surf clam protein. For sauce, spicy mayo + ponzu + sesame oil. For toppings, masago + crunchy onion and garlic + seaweed. If you like avocado, add that too :). I have eel sauce in my bowl, but don't recommend that since it makes it a little too sweet. Some people love seasoned seaweed (the one on the bottom of the picture), but I think you can skip it.

After months of visiting this plaza weekly for my kid, I recently decided to stop in and give it a shot.So glad I did because my bowl was delicious. Tried it again the following week and it's still great. It will be my new weekly stop while I wait to pick up my kid from a nearby business.

Amazing food and great portions. We found this place in an unassuming center where we get our haircuts. The lady is very nice and the bowls are very large with lots of fish. They are very generous with toppings as well!
