This is based solely on the service i received tonight. The person working seemed as though we were inconveniencing him by ordering. He was giving tiny spoons of toppings when we came before the person working gave us as many scoops as we wanted. He said we were only allowed one scoop of fried onions and green onions.

Lots of variety for poke options! Kinda standard for quality in my opinion. Miso soup was a nice addition. Secret menu add some ramen and chicken for a miso ramen :) Service was quick on a weekday. It's pretty clean inside. Indoor and outdoor seating. Big parking lot.

I went there for the first time today, and it was delicious! The server was extremely patient since I felt at a loss, but in the end, I was able to create a flavorful and delicious combo with her help. Also, the blended straberry limonade was amazing, very refreshing! * Everything tasted fresh! I would definitely recommend this place and come back again. The ambiance was very clean with good music.

Another pokeworks location that just opened up. Usually I'm a little bit biased (and snobby heh) about poke that's not in Hawaii but I decided to give this place a try. For $15 it does the job and it's a decent amount of fish. They do load it up with a lot of rice but it's not as soft/fluffy like I'm usually used to. Get all the topics you want to match how much rice they'll give you lol. If you ask nice they might throw in some masago for free hehe thanks for that. spicy mayo (I think they call it Sriracha aioli lol): I rlly like this sauce and usually like to keep my poke pretty clean but I had my expectations low for any mainland poke. The tuna: It's decent but a little fishy The salmon: Pretty good and I'd get this again next time

Really good poke place. I had visited once before during an Elite Yelp event, and here I am again. There's really interesting drink selections, and I love that they have a check-in desk for a free garlic spam musubi. I don't think any other poke place has a free item offered. It's definitely worth the price that poke bowls cost now-a-days.

This is the best Poke we have ever tasted. Best quality and fresh everytime I visit the store.

This was my second visit to Pokeworks (first time was an yelp elite event right after they opened) and both visits have been great! I once again ordered the sweet sesame chicken bowl, though I slightly modified a couple items. It's $~16 for a regular sized bowl, but both times I've been able to make two meals out of them (if you're really hungry, though, it's not that big). Both of my dining companions built their own bowls and loved them. We also got a garlic spam musubi, and enjoyed that as well. The staff is always patient while deciding on what to order. All three of us ended up needing more sauce on our bowls once we tried them, and they had no problem giving us all little containers of extra sauce. There are plenty of tables and chairs inside, as well as a couple outside. The interior is fairly echo-y and the ambience is nothing to write home about, but it wasn't a problem for us. Definitely my go-to poke spot in the area!

Stopped in and let my son make a killer poke bowl. It's was his 18th Birthday. Guy behind the counter was awesome and respectful, totally made it an experience rather than make a bowl and get out. Also checked in and got the garlic masubi, that was awesome aswelll. Overall, the fish was fresh, delicious, and the price was best in all the surrounding area! Must check it out and we will most definitely go back! Thanks

Very fresh Salmon. It seems like they use fresh Salmon instead of frozen. It was very clean store.

Amazing service and exceptional food!! I love coming here!!!Vegetarian options: Best options! You can customize all your bowls!
My friends and I were looking for a new poke place to try and we heard there was a new one right by us so we had to check it out! And let me tell you it will not disappoint! Everyone there was super friendly, especially Janette!! Because it was our first time there she gave us so many great recommendations! We ended up getting a variety of bowls, but my favorite was probably the spicy ahi or the sesame chicken! 10/10 food and 10/10 customer service! Will definitely be coming back!
Irvin always fantastic and professional at what he does. Very polite smile on his face great employee.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered takeout and the order was complete & ready upon pickup. Everything was amazingly fresh and thoughtfully packaged. The staff were super friendly upon pickup. We are full and satiated beyond belief! The "torched" option for your poke adds an additional dimension of flavor to the flair. The chocolate chip cookies were delectable too!! We look forward to being back and is excited for this new poke addition to Costa Mesa!
