Poke Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“Sweetfin Poke in Santa Monica delivered exactly what I was craving—a super fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal without the heaviness. I stopped in for a late lunch and built my own bowl with spicy tuna, bamboo rice, avocado, pickled shiitake mushrooms, crispy onions, and their creamy togarashi sauce, and every bite was spot-on. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, the toppings were vibrant and varied in texture, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The space itself is bright and minimal, and the service was quick but friendly—they helped me navigate the menu and offered great suggestions. I also grabbed one of their sparkling yuzu lemonades which was the perfect balance of tart and refreshing. It’s clear Sweetfin takes pride in quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations, and it’s the kind of place you can go multiple times a week without ever getting bored.“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“Best poke bowls in the area (and I’ve tried all of the local places)! Check them out! 🍣“

“Love this place. The fish is fresh and the option to build your own bowl is great.“

“Been craving PokiTomik since I saw a post on TikTok and made it my mission to stop by next time I was in Westwood. The stars must’ve aligned since I found parking right in the front of the store! That’s a rarity in Westwood! Upon arrival I noticed the place was surprisingly empty. Not sure why, especially after you read my review

George helped me figure out exactly what to order and he was so incredibly sweet and helpful. Since I was starving, I opted for large bowl that included four scoops. I chose tuna, salmon, and two sweet salmon scoops I loaded my bowl with cucumbers, seaweed salad, Masago, mango, Imitation crab, as well as a few sauces.

Let’s just say I was incredibly happy with what I ate. The fish was very fresh and the bowl was delicious. Will definitely be back for more as I’m curious to try the burritos!“

“Delicious poke, fast service, the cafe has uncomfortable stools, it is impossible to relax and enjoy visiting the cafe. We took a small portion of poke and it was enough to eat. The cafe menu has very tasty ice cream in the form of macarons, but the refrigerator with ice cream is behind the counter and we accidentally saw this ice cream. Maybe it is necessary to move the refrigerator to a more visible place for visitors. I recommend“

“Absolutely fantastic place! Food is delicious. Taste festival in each dish. Seafood super fresh! Im in Europe cant find anything like Marocan Goddess 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Love you guys! The best recommendations ❤️❤️ This spot is a must visit if youre in LA. Also super close to LAX“

“This is one of the pricier poke places but for good reason. Their tuna and salmon is wild. They have lump blue crab and toro and hamachi. And many more. Several kinds of fish eggs. The choices are the best in LA when it comes to variety and quality and that’s not even starting on sauces. Truffle mayo. Furikake rice. So many options and so good.“

“I love how they mix fish,sauce and toppings together. They are not stingy about anything. You will get big bowl of poke!! I just don’t like the parking so I always try to go odd time. Its little bit far me but I rather drive there to make myself happy 😃“

“Friendly server that knew how to put a tasty bowl together w/ the perfect level of spiciness & crunch texture. Every bite of my Aloha bowl was packed full of great flavors, slightly experiencing a new yummy taste as I ate through the different toppings. Thanks for the complementary miso soup, it was fantastic! My new favorite local spot!“

“This is just an all around great little sushi spot - emphasis on little! Be aware, there are very few tables and only a handful of bar seats.

That said, the food is delicious! Their happy hour is a killer deal. They have so many options, most under $10.

It's located within walking distance to the Academy Museum and LACMA, so it's perfect spot to eat at it post-museum visit. I couldn't give this place any more praise.“

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!“

“Great fresh fish. The Aloha Poke is my favorite and I just tried the clam chowder. creamy and delicious.“

“The poke bowl was amazing! Yum!! Ramen it was so so. Other than that! I'm going back 😄😄“

“Friendly environment. Fast service, Fresh food, clean. love the Poke there.“

“Great Food. Price it's right.“

“This place is always a hit especially when I have to order lunch on Tuesdays. Definitely a must try if you've never had it. I just wanted to give them an extra special. Thank you for them showing appreciation. Last time I ordered food here they were out of an item and I mentioned it this time around while ordering My usual large poke bowl. Thank you guys so much for the extra oranges!“

“Omg, so good!! So fresh!! Broth was amazing, I wish I had more noodles, next time I’ll add more noodles!! Ramen Ramen Ramen❤️❤️❤️😁“

“Sushi was fresh and delicious! I got the incredible roll and it was fresh, full of flavor, and thoughtfully made. Reasonably priced and generous portions- wonderful fish to rice ratio. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating. I’ll definitely be back again, great for take out!“

“It was our first time trying Ramen and the cashier was awesome enough to help us choose. We chose the spicy ramen and it was not disappointing! It was just enough spice to make it flavorful. And it was enough to fill the tummies of two ladies and then some. I was kinda bummed that there isn't much of a varieties when it comes to ordering. Only about 4 to 5 options.“

“Food was very good. The ingredients were all fresh and tasty. Service was great!“

“I was showing off telling a friend about this place , I have never been , but Mom and sis gave rave reviews all the time , an my nieces always talking about it out at the mall out in 6256 Topanga Canyon Blvd , So after a adventure shopping for materials for a outfit for one of her shows in England , I brought her to the 3rd street one . She loved it Thanks was amazing . Crispy onions and garlic“

“For a small take out poke place, this was great. The fish was fresh, and all the ingredients in our poke bowls were well thought out. We had the mango albacore poke bowl and the shitake chili tofu bowl.

Lots of people came and picked up takeout. They do have two small tables in the front on the sidewalk. I would definitely get their poke bowls again. Not much atmosphere needless to say.“

“The best POKE place in town. Try the Mango Bowl......Great!!!!“

“We wanted a quick lunch and we it was late in the afternoon and we decided that poke would be good, and this place was delightful.The fish was fresh and tasty. The kale noodles were wonderful and the pineapple smoothie with boba was amazing. If I get out that way again I'll go back“

“A bit off the beaten path, but delicious acai bowls are available here. I had the chocolate dream (which comes with chocolate chips!) while my friend had the makai bowl. You pick between a regular or large size. We came here after eating sushi for lunch so we were a bit peckish, but eating the regular size brought us over the edge. There were some indoor tables available and a lot more outdoor seating. The outdoor seating was super pleasant and there was a fountain that added to a soothing environment. Free parking. Credit cards accepted. They have smoothies available as well.“

“Yes so good Poke Bar delicious 😋 see you tomorrow 😜😋“

“I love this place. I go almost at least once a week. The employees are wonderful. I have never had a bad or sad poke bowl. Everything is fresh. Trying to stay on the healthy side, I order small scoop of rice and all the sides they offer except for wasabi. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, but I have always restrain from getting the large. Two scoops of protein, which consist of tuna and salmon. A lovely alternative to fast foods. I highly recommend Mono Poke!“

“I think this place is only rated poorly because every spot in this food court is rated poorly. I’ve never gotten a bad bowl of poke here.

Sure it’s a food court poke spot but it’s as good as a non-food court poke spot like Poke Bar or All About Poke, just less customizable. Whereas the Habit Burger here is worse than a non-food court Habit.

The boba’s not bad either. And a poke salad here is the only decent salad you can get in this food court.“

“I found this nosh stand to be absolutely great, they have a large variety to choose from.
I had a single smash burger meal, it was delicious!

I also found the servers to be fun and friendly. I will be going back for seconds. God bless and Thank you!“
