Poke Restaurants near Laguna Beach, CA

“The staff member that helped me (purple hair and a nose piercing) made my first visit to Poke Tiki so pleasant that I want to go back. Their communication was clear and they helped me make such a delicious poke bowl! We need more customer service and kindness like this person—they made me feel welcomed. The bowl was tasty with fresh fish and great toppings. 10/10 would recommend if you like a relaxed food spot with nice people around.“

“Absolutely loved it. great taste good portion. Tuna and salmon chunks are pretty decent personally I think it’s tastier than poke n half they have a sushi like thing in the tofu skin two for six bucks that taste good too, but I didn’t like the Hawaiian shrimp hot plate.“

“The best poke I've ever eaten. Poke Tiki-Newport has it's own very unique flavor not found anywhere else. Definitely one of my favorite places I have to visit everytime I'm in town.“

“I’m so happy I found this place!!!

There used to be a bomb poke place next to my house off Trabuco but it closed about 3-4 years ago and I haven’t found a replacement yet. Tried a place close to this one and it reeked of fish the moment we walked through the door.
Saw this place on Google Maps, pulled into the parking lot and it just advertised drinks on the storefront. My wife and I were so deflated, but were hungry, so parked and we’re going to go next door. Once we walked up, we saw they did actually sell poke. Walked in, saw all the fresh fish, toppings, a great atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered our bowls, LOVED them and can’t wait to make this a normal spot moving forward!!!“

“Probably the best poke we’ve ever had. Super fresh, high quality, melt in your mouth fish that even rivals poke selections on the Hawaiian islands. Good variety of toppings and generous portions; the large was hard for me to finish and I eat A LOT. We ordered 2 large half/half bowls and one small (no drinks) each bowl included an upcharge for premium toppings and the total cost was just over $60. Extremely delectable lunch meal; we would definitely eat here again.“

“I live the avocado salad and they are generous with their scoops of the spicy tuna!!“

“So many good things. Soba noodle salad. yum! My favorite is the healthy fish and chips. The cajun whitefish was unbelievable! Everything is that I’ve had there.“

“DELICIOUSNESS! healthy, tasty and great prices“

“Visited this place for the first time the other day. We will definitely be going back sometime soon!! The staff were beyond helpful and very sweet with my daughter too. 😊“

“I had the spicy tuna bowl. The tuna was fresh, the rice was good, and the seaweed was good, but some pieces were tough. I wish there were more in the bowl, like more toppings. Just FYI, every topping is extra. One customer got annoyed because the total was high since he added a lot of toppings. I will go back and get a custom bowl. It was pretty busy, but the line moved fast. There is outdoor seating. Parking is limited; there is a lot of street parking. Rating: 4 out of 5“

“Great food and the ladies working behind the counter are super friendly.“

“Delicious fresh fish. Had the belly sampler and the Black Pepper scallop roll, both superb. Don't let the kinda run down appearance of the building fool you. The ambiance inside is simple but nice, and the food and service is excellent.“

“Went on a Sunday around 530pm. You order at the counter and pay first. Sushi and Ramen were very delicious! Limited bottled soda,juices and filtered water you get on your own. No AC but who cares you're in Newport. Overall great place to eat after the beach.“

“Maka Poke is my go-to place for poke bowls! I only get my poke bowls from here because everything is always so fresh, delicious, and well prepared. The owner is always very kind and welcoming, and she does her best to make everything as quickly as possible. I highly recommend this place!“

“Great service, My friends and I come from Germany, and our English is so so, most of this I had to use Google Translate. However, there was a kind young lady who was able to help us in German with a name something along the lines of Jessi, and she was very helpful, especially for my friends who can't really speak English well. So I wanted to give credit, and the food was great.“

“The quality of the food was amazing, variety of toppings was good. Decent quantity of food as well, the only thing I would knock them on is it is a *little* more expensive than I would like. It is Irvine though so I can't be too mad. Overall I would make this one of my staple lunch spots.“
