Poki Poki - Encinitas

Never was there

Usually delicious. Nice attentive staff. Clean bright dining room. Usually no line. Ingredients are quite consistent though the mixing and pumping of the spiciness level is always quite variable. Could use a little more authentic sesame oil and tang in the sauces.

Dining room ambiance a little stark. Nice decorations, but the acoustics are too much echo and often a little cold and sterile. Need some house plants acoustic absorbing panels in there .

Need another location over in Leucadia!

Solid poke spot. Amazing portions. Crab meat and seaweed salad are included for free. Lots of topping options. Did I mention how good the fish portions were?

I’ve been coming here a long time and love the food, but the staff is what impressed me today today. There were four ladies working behind the counter during lunch rush and they stepped up to make sure they were working efficiently and as a team, while still being very pleasant to the customers. Really impressive!

Food is ok but do not buy a giftcard here. Their system will not read it and they will not honor the amount on the card even with receipt and proof of purchase.
The employees told me they dont sell gift cards anymore despite multiple signs and the exact version of my giftcard on the counter ready for purchase.
One of the employees said she wasn’t normally at this location and didn’t know their system. Very frustrating that lack of training threw way a $50+ giftcard…

Never seen a poke place give you so much fish. Plus they have cucumbers as a base if you are looking for something low carb.
