Honesty this place is great. Huge amount of food. Friendly and approachable staff. They had some new options such as their blazing salmon. Would definitely come here again.

The best poke I've ever had! I loved the Tuna Luau, and the Kimchi Sauce on Salmon. The various toppings all came together and made such wonderful flavors!

I love this place. BUT, the deal breaker is that they are now charging $O. 75 cents for a tiny, tiny amount of Sirachi sauce. New policy. I was so upset, that it was hard to enjoy my meal, and I only found out as I was checking out. This charge is unacceptable. I am hoping the owner is willing to be flexible and take that charge off the menu. I would be willing to give it another chance, if they do. Please take example from another pokie place. May I offer a suggestion Poke District in Orange gives plenty of sauce, and allows the customer to help themselves to sauce at a table, not depriving customer of enjoying their experience. If you want customers to enjoy the experience, please do not charge $ 0.75 for additional Sirachi sauce. Furthermore, I would love to be able to recommend others. The owner saw I was so upset, she handed me a sauce. But, if I have to worry about this fight every time I go, then I will probably avoid going because it's so uncomfortable. So, please I'm willing to come back if this is not an issue because I was actually loving coming here. This review might even help future business if owner is willing to listen.Thank you

I have been ordering from this place for 3 years now, and this year the food quality, portions of the poki, the amount of ingredients we can add, even the sauces quality has changed and the portions. This will probably be the last time I order from here, and its a shame because it used to be my favorite. I used to order twice a week sometimes.

No complaints-- at all!All the expectancies of taste in a poke bowl was SERVED by MauiPoki. The service was quick and easy, especially because I had gone around 11:30 AM for lunch. It gradually becomes busier after 12PM for the lunch rush, but no worries! They're fast with service and there are a lot of seats available. Music was also at the perfect volume and didn't overpower people's voices.I've been eating poke bowls since I was 10 & I would say that I'm very picky with admitting to good bowls. However, I did not have a single issue with this one! The salmon was fresh, the avocado was all green, and the sushi rice was perfectly moist. Would recommend for a hearty and fulfilling lunch break!

This is now one of my go-to spots when I am craving poke! I love their salmon and tuna along with their selection of toppings (including kimchi). I always end up getting all of the toppings. Everything seems so fresh and the bowls turn out to be pretty big. The staff are always friendly and kind. There is a decent amount of seating if you want to dine in.

I've been going here for awhile but today they must have had someone new but he did not know how to make the correct sauce for the poke. I asked for house sauce for one bowl and house spicy for another. For house spicy, he literally gave me all spicy oil. It was so spicy I could not even eat it. I've been here many times and I know they usually mix the house sauce, sesame oil and house spicy to make the sauce. He didn't mix anything and gave me all spicy. I asked him and he said he couldn't remember what he did? Very disappointed.

Solid poke with with various topping choices and fresh fish!Maui Poke is located in a small plaza with bunch of other eateries.Inside has decent table seating with dark interior.They have interesting topping choices like spam, kimchi, and shrimp.I got the small bowl with half brown rice/kelp noodle, tuna/albacore, with wasabi citrus sauce and most of the toppings.They do charge extra for unagi and avocado.Portion size is generous and they put lots of toppings on, the tuna and albacore was fresh, wish there was more wasabi in the sauce but overall filling and relatively healthy!Service was fast and price is decent ($15 for 2 topping bowl).Next time I'll try the salmon!

Love this place. I love the variety of veggies and fish. They're also really fast, so makes it easy to go there on my lunch break.

This is one of the few places our entire family loves. I’ve been to so many poke places and this is by far my favorite in the area because of the portions, especially if you get 1/2 salad 1/2 rice since they put it in the big container instead of the bowl. It looks and tastes great, especially when you ask for all the toppings.They also have convenient online ordering for pickup without any upcharge. I only wish they had a loyalty program since I’d get so many free bowl ?
It was empty and a tad unwelcoming. But, the person behind the counter was kind. I should have never ordered the jalapeño chips! They were out of ginger, which is my favorite item to put on Poke.

If you're craving Poke in the Irvine corporate area, this is a good place for it. It's a nice and clean location with good air conditioning and good food. Their poke bowls and all are very well portioned as well. I always love spicy tuna as one of my protein options. And since I like everything, I go for all the toppings. And yes avocado is extra. My go to sauces are usually some sort of sesame oil and spicy mayo combination and they made me that perfectly well. The most important thing in any poke place is the freshness of the seafood and protein and Mauipoki checks those boxes. The poke bowl tasted good and fresh and if you're a poke lover that's all you want.

Tried this place out as it's close to where I live. I love poke and get it once or twice a week, so I'm always on the lookout for new spots.But I will not be coming back to this location. The fish is just barely fresh, like it's approaching it's expiration date. I got mixed greens and rice and found more than a few wilted greens, leading me to believe that the salad is a few weeks old.

For the sake of all that is holy - please learn to wrap up things properly especially those that are being advertised as Ahiritto. I went in today, ordered a $15 meal, half wanting to go back inside and ask them to remake my order. 2 employees were struggling to make my food and when I got in the car to assess it, it all fell apart. Figure it out guys or remove this from your menu!
