Where to begin.... the interior lighting was dimmed so the place looked closed even tho it was during normal hours, I try the door to find the 2 f.o.h. employees crouching out of view further encouraging the closes look. Then they were out of avocado, onions, cucumbers, among other things and there is a ralphs literally across the street and the staff had complete idgaf attitude about being out of items. I go here pretty regularly and it's very disappointing when you see Staff literally sabatoge a restaurant. Hoping for a better experience next time.

BEST POKIE EVER!! I LOVE THIS PLACE! it's my go to for a healthy meal! The food is genuinely delicious I usually get the two scoops with shrimp and salmon with mild sauce and all my fav topping!!! Ughhh chefs kisss!!! All the workers I've encountered here have been so sweet and so generous! For the price you get a packed bowl with fresh everything! I really hope they never change and I really hope they get all the business they deserve!!!!

Slow service. Most toppings were gone by lunchtime and after waiting 20 minutes to get my bowl done was told that they were only taking cash that day, which I did not have and wasted most of my lunch hour.

Usually have a good experience here but today was the worse and probably won't come back. I've always come here after school for about a month. So today I saw the prices were higher which is normal , inflation etc. I've never gotten their poki burritos before but I have had it before. Instead of a seaweed wrap/soy wrap like on their promo sign. Mine was Wrapped in an actual TORTILLA. It's weird but I decided to try it anyway. It's just NO Disgusting. I even pulled out a few bones from the salmon I'm assuming. I don't think I want to come back now. I'm sad to let this place go.

Never going to this place again! The tuna was not fresh but I didn't notice till I got home and started eating it. It actually smelled funky lol I was shocked and just stopped eating. I've never left a bad or good review on any place I've eaten but I feel like this place is dangerous for your health which is ironic since it's supposed to be hella healthy

2 people handling making the orders and register. It took 30 mins from getting in line to getting my order at 12 pm on a weekday. I walked in wanting to get a bowl with tuna, but I changed my mind when I got to the counter. A majority of the tuna was brown in color. Either it wasn't fresh or it was freezer burned. Prices don't really make sense. $12.99 for 2 scoops. $13.99 for 3 scoops. So that suggests 1 additional scoop is $1 more. But it's not. 5 scoops cost $16.99, not $15.99.

Don't order from here in Uber Eats. Don't even know if they read the order. Each dish I order was mixed up and incorrect. Items/ingredients were missing.

One of the best poke restaurants in the area. Fast service and quality, fresh ingredients.
The moment you walk in you can tell the restaurant management is cutting corners. The lighting is off and they have a dirty home-type AC cooling the space. The non-seafood toppings are good but the rest is a risk. You'll eventually get what you pay here -- the risk of bacterial or physical contamination at any moment. The workers here keep their hair really unkept in loose hair ties and you can see in reviews that there are hairs in the food. They use bare hands to use spoons that are scooping raw seafood, so imagine the lack of gloves in the actual prep process. Also I saw that there was a piece of old corndog(?) randomly left on the grill for the whole time I was present. nobody really cleans up after the cooking process. Management needs to set stricter regulations with worker habits or invest more in their staffing/training. I'm not blaming the workers cause there's no way that $10 bowls can pay their living wage. Management needs to set better priorities. Its shown clearly on yelp too that this place has had many issues with cleanliness. Is it worth saving $3-4 dollars to risk getting seriously ill?

Been coming here for years whenever I'm in the area because the serving sizes were decent. The last few times have been bad. First a few weeks ago the chick mixed everything in the bowl together at the end with the sauces instead of just the poke, so it looked like throw up. Yes you eat it all together but the presentation still did not look edible. This most recent time this weekend I had a huge stomachache and got the runs after eating here. Probably not coming back again.

This place is really disappointing me with the "not so fresh" ingredients. I thought I'd give you one last chance but as always, the tuna is discolored ?, I passed on the tuna and got salmon instead. The onions and cucumber were wilted the Wasabi had a watery substance I actually passed on wasabi too. I've never been so afraid to eat my poki bowl and of course something in bowl tasted off! I have to go all the way to Alhambra now for good poki. This was the last straw.

The best poke place. They give you lots of fish and toppings. The only poke place that makes you full.

This review will be similar to my Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog review as they share the same space and staff. When I first saw the poke bar I was a little off put and concerned. The room was so warm during the afternoon I was worried to see old, dried up or spoiled looking ingredients in the bins. Luckily that was not the case! SERVICE: Jocelyn was the only one on duty at the time and she was all around awesome. She was handling both the Korean rice dogs and the poke bar. FOOD: My husband and I had already bought two huge rice dogs so we got just one poke bowl to try. We had salmon, spicy tuna, and scallops. All of it was very fresh along with all the other veggies and toppings. Their crab salad was actually extra flavorful compared to other poke places I've been. I was however not pleased with their choice of tako (octopus) and shrimp. The tako was a premade salad style and the shrimp were little cocktail shrimps. We much prefer large unseasoned slices of tako and the butterflied sushi shrimps. Sushi rice was good. Portions were good. Toppings variety was as expansive as other poke bars. Food was fresh and tasty. We got the house dressing which was a delicious mix of a bunch of sauce bottles. This is a weird comment but I loved the self serve water and condiments bar. The water tasted so cold and good in the afternoon heat. The wasabi was an awesome chunky texture (strong too) and not some smooth blended watered down mush and I really appreciate that. AMBIENCE: The interior felt more like a storage space than a restaurant and was too warm to stay comfortably. The space is also shared with Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog.
