    This is hands down my favorite poke spot in Santa Barbara. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and the portions are generous. The staff is consistently kind, helpful, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Every bowl I've had here has been delicious and satisfying. If you're looking for quality poke and great service, this is the place to go!

    Boba and friends!

    (Disclaimer- no poke review) White peach green tea with boba and rainbow jellies - the fruity flavors burst in my mouth with every sip i take, followed by a decadent serving of soft, chewy boba and refreshing jelly. the tea is not too sweet and the boba is masterfully cooked; chewy on the inside & soft on the out. 10/10 would recommend. jasmine green milk tea- pretty dope ngl, definitely picking up some floral notes and the tea was definitely milky. Got what I bargained for. black milk tea - today i felt like being bold and brave bc oh what the heck! what is life for. so i took a chance with a new tea today, let me tell you... it was fantastic. its pretty sweet but less sweet than the thai tea (one of my go tos). it's like a burst of yummyness surrounding my mouth. the boba was cooked to perfection, fresh, chewy, and ideal size. i've been an avid customer for years and i won't be stopping any time soon!! thank you for many memories and laughs choppa Thai tea - This is my go to order every time I get boba and choppa makes it perfect! It's very sweet which I like but if you don't have a sweet tooth, this might not be for you. The texture is perfectly milky and very smooth. Highly recommend this drink and this restaurant.

    Needed a quick lunch after moving our daughter into her dorm and found this place based on yelp reviews. The restaurant is a well lit , clean, open space. I was greeted and acknowledged as soon as walked in. It's always lovely to have vibrant and friendly workers. I opted for a large bowl so I could share with my husband or save for another meal. This bowl was packed with fresh vegetables and other ingredients. It was well made and delicious. My salad bowl was over $22 but it was definitely worth it.

    Really good joint overall! There's a ton of variety and a desert restaurant right next door which is pretty dope. We came around 8:30 pm, 30minutes before closing, and the staff was super duper nice, welcoming, and accomodating. We got three regular scoops with two tuna, one salmon for one bowl, and three regular scoops of spicy ahi tuna and tuna for the second. The staff was super nice and gave us extra fish. We then got some edamame, fried onions, masago, shredded seaweed, cilantro, hot Cheetos, and pineapple, which the staff piled on. It was overall tons of food for the amount we paid which was really nice of them, especially since we bothered them so close to closing. The location is a little bit outside Santa Barbara which is ok, but this is the best poke joint in the area as many have said! It hits right, the food was a bomb, and the staff is super duper nice. It became my brother's favorite joint which was another plus since he isn't a big food or poke person. Will definitely be coming back in the future!

    Half eaten because we couldn't wait to eat before a photo

    I come here all the time. Everything about it is great. Fast service, great portions, great options, just great. I'm moving soon and am going to come back just for choppa. Best poke iv

    Choppa Poke is in a plaza with a big parking lot. I came here on a Monday night and there was no wait time. I ordered a medium bowl which was VERY filling! They are extremely generous with the portion size and especially the protein scoops (which most poke places tend to skimp out on). The fish and all the toppings were fresh and overall it was really delicious. Choppa is more expensive when compared to other poke places; however, the price is justified by the fresh fish and generous portions! Will definitely come again(:

    my poke bowl!! i had, among other toppings, the salmon, seaweed, pineapple, avocado, and corn.

    FIRST TIME EATING POKE!! I've always been a little nervous about trying raw seafood, but Choppa Poke helped ease this transition. The chunks of ahi tuna that I got tasted fresh and delicious, and along with the bounty of other toppings, it felt like i was eating a buffet in a bowl. The sauces are amazing, the rice is perfectly cooked, the add-ons had a huge variety of textures and flavors... and in great portion sizes, too!!! You do get what you pay for, which I really appreciate. Definitely coming back to this spot; the food is delicious, the place itself is super hygienic and COVID-friendly, and it's just a super great, filling meal to end my day with.

    Large Bowl w/ 4 scoops of Pago, salmon and yellowtail w/ lots of delicious toppings!
    Amber E.

    Great poke place. Fresh fish (we got ahi, salmon and yellowtail), fresh warm rice, mixed greens, lots of tasty toppings and sauces (cucumber, edamame, crab salad, seaweed salad, cilantro, green onions, house ponzu dressing and topped w/ eel sauce, spicy Mayo and crispy onion and garlic. Wow! Quite a delicious masterpiece. Small with 2 scoops of fish is $18.95, but large w/ 4 scoops is just $4 more ($22.95). Much better deal, so we ordered that and shared. $2 extra if you want an extra bowl. Totally recommend!

    happy food love
    Roch B.

    All the way fresh. In from L.A. and found this killer poke bowl spot. Ellay Shmellay, they got nothin' on these guys. Zippy service with a smile. The richness and flavor of the proteins was astounding. Ditto on the toppings. Order: medium, sushi rice, spicy tuna, yellowtail and tofu. Sauces: House Ponzu with spicy mayo. Toppings: seaweed, quail egg, edemame, cilantro, green onions, crispy onions, avocado. Final sauce: House Ponzu Best takeout in years. ("for here" orders can dine out front too)

    Quality containers.
    Paula F.

    Best Poke place I've been to so far! I'm relatively new to Poke bowls but absolutely love them and tried quite a few places. Here's why this is my new favorite... the ingredients tasted really fresh, the bowl was burst with flavor, the options seemed endless, my bowl was jam packed with yumminess, the to go containers were quality containers, the service was fast and friendly, ordering online was simple and easy, parking in the big spacious parking lot was a breeze, the restaurant interior was modern and clean (too bad indoor dining is closed right now due to Covid-19) and the location is super convenient to UCSB. Keeping this on my list of restaurant go to's for my future visits to Goleta.

    In this area of Goleta there is not a ton of unique food choices, but Choppa Poke is one of them. This is a great stop for picking up lunch. Generous portions of protein, there are cooked and raw choices, and all the sauces are different and good. Service has been quick and they typically have all of the choices. The ambiance of the restaurant is basically what is expected from a poke take out spot. There are a few tables but it is nothing to write home about. I never eat there so can't comment too much. Drink selection is limited to only cans/bottles of coke. Make sure you ask for soy sauce or hot sauce if you get take out- I usually forget that!!

    Stopped by On The Alley for breakfast. Upon entering, the staff were very friendly even though…read morethey were having credit card machine issues. I went with a breakfast burrito which turned out to be HUGE. The burrito took a few minutes but it came out hot and fresh. Flavor-wise, it was a solid burrito. You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Of course the weather is perfect during breakfast hours. Would definitely go back.

    I was a little worried because I got there late...7:58. They close at 8. The person who took my…read moreorder assured me they close at 8, meaning the last order is at 8. I was welcome to stay as long as I needed to eat my meal. What an unexpected and KIND gesture!!!! The guys were young but extremely courteous! I ordered a bowl of clam chowder...YUM!!! How can you go to Brophy's and not eat chowder? I also ordered a Baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. I love fish tacos. This one was super moist and crispy on the outside...perfect seasoning and the pickled onions were spot on!! The shrimp taco was a nice surprise. They are grilled (no guilt over extra calories) and good flavor. There is a good combination of savory with a little sweet from the mango salsa. The mangoes were not as ripe as I like, but the salsa had good flavor nonetheless. I especially appreciate that the young guys checked on me and asked about the food and if I needed anything. I visit SB a couple times a year. This is definitely going to be one of my pit stops. Oh... did I mention the nice surprise on my bill? I didn't even realize the perks of taco Tuesday. Kudos to the management for hiring such good workers!
