Wow! What an amazing find, we’re so happy we discovered this spot on Google Maps and give it a try. We’re big Poke fans, and this honestly ranks in the top for me. Incredibly fresh, great sauces and toppings, generous portions sizes, and super friendly service. Make a point to visit the next time you’re craving, you won’t be disappointed.

This was a clean small restaurant. The poke was fresh but they were running low on salmon so they had to get more and it was still partially frozen. The salmon was good and the drink selection is very limited. I bought a Chi white peach drink which turn out to have a lot of artificial sweeteners in it. The addition of masago which is fish eggs was extra dollar. The ponzu sauce was good but a little sour. The medium salmon bowl with additional $1 masago and the drink was $26. We got lucky and got one of the very few assigned spaces for the restaurant. This was during an odd hour of 3:00 p.m. This is a family-owned restaurant. I would recommend if you want to try something different and healthy.

Best poke in town! I'm used to omakase but the poke ingredients here are also fresh. I first noticed this new poke place couple months ago but I hadn't tried it until today and it was so good?.

Taste good, very small amount of protein. Just a couple of pieces. Which would explain my review score.

Best sushi ever! Fresh, big portions , hurray! We will be back as soon as we visit Santa Barbara again.
I ordered the ponzu salmon through doordash and they didn't include the masago and avocado for some reason, even though it's included in the item description. Disappointing especially bc those are normally cost extra.

Love, love, love this place!! Ever since Pokewaves opened, I crave the bowl. I enjoy how many options you have to choose from. Seafood to fish, vegetables, fruits, rice, sauces you name it. My favorite is the build your own bowl with two scoops of protein, half and half base which is the mixed greens with a type of rice (sushi rice is excellent), pick your sauces, mix-ins and toppings. The service is fast and attentive so you just order what you like and you're on your way. Inside you are welcomed by the staff and they have a small seating area with relaxing ambiance. I come and get my Pokewaves craving at least once every few weeks and enjoy every minute of it, never disappoints.

Great little pokey shop. Place is clean. The service was quite friendly. And the assortment of fish and toppings were super fresh. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back myself.

My wife and I decided to checkout this restaurant on a short trip to Santa Barbara. You can order house bowls or your custom own protein (salmon, ahi tune, scallops, shrimp, octopus, yellowtail, etc.) WITH multiple add ins, toppings, sauces, and rice. Everything is very fresh and healthy good eatings stuff. I had ahi and the spicy ahi, and the seaweed salad is killer! Really great value in a very clean venue - and highly recommended by this Yelper.
Tasty, fresh, decent price
