    Always coming back for that salmon poke bowl. I love adding mandarin and mango to my bowl. The ingredients are always so fresh. I hope this place stays for a long time

    poke bowl

    This poke spot is conveniently located in the Marketplace next to Panda Express. There is a lot of parking nearby since it's a fairly large plaza. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, and the interior is very spacious and clean. Unfortunately, I felt that the service was definitely lacking. Most of the employees were talking to each other and it was very hard to get their attention. They also didn't notify me that my order was ready and I had to come to the front and ask for it. I ordered a poke bowl with two scoops of protein, as well as an Alaskan roll. The poke bowl was on the pricier side, and I felt as though the portions weren't big enough to justify the price. It was also $2 for a small amount of avocado, when many other places offer it for free. The Alaskan roll tasted amazing, but it took a while for it to be ready since there was only one person preparing the food in the kitchen. They do offer a discount on specialty rolls if you order a poke bowl or sushi burrito, which is nice. Overall, I wouldn't order a poke bowl here again. I don't think it's worth the price for what you get. Although the specialty rolls are a bit expensive, they were more filling than the poke bowl and tasted better. I'll most likely stick to ordering the rolls from now on.

    Sudden closure.

    I would go to this place often. Plates were good, portion size was fair with pricing, enough to have me keep coming back. Staff were friendly. Surprised to see the sudden closure. There were no signs or announcement last time I was here. Place was spacious seating inside so not sure what is taking place for remodeling to take up until summer 2025.

    We LOVE H2O Poke! It is located in the Marketplace so parking isn't an issue. Restroom is always clean. Restaurant is always clean with plenty of seating. My son and I come here all the time. We love that the poke is fresh and there's plenty of toppings to choose from. No matter what mix I get, it's always good. This is our go to spot for quick sushi, quick meaning you cannot sit down at a full service restaurant and wait for sushi. It typically is ready after 10-15 minutes and I love that it's complemented with salad and miso soup. Customer service is great. Would definitely recommend!

    H2O Poke & Grill: closed for remodeling.  Will it change name to Sushi Rev?  Sushi Rev website didn't work.

    I came here once with my friends. Yummy food and great price. I came today (7/16/2025) but it was closed for remodeling?

    Sushi burrito...so good!
    Leslie S.

    Updated review! Originally 4 stars because I only had one other poke bowl place for comparison. Now that I have sampled many, H20 Poke is one of the better poke places. I also recently discovered the best food invention: sushi burritos! I was so into poke bowls I didn't even notice that this chain offered sushi burritos. I thought it was a new recent add-on to the menu but my husband is certain he saw it on the menu when the restaurant opened. Regardless, the sushi burritos here are incredible. I don't even order the bowls anymore. Nothing against the poke bowls, I just much prefer the sushi burrito. The burrito is plenty of food for 1 person. Honestly, half a burrito is usually all I need. It's super filling. Add a sushi roll and you are good to go for a meal for 2 people. The location is usually never too crowded but even if there is a long line to order it moves very quick. We will be back very soon!

    With all the different poke places out there in so cal, H20 Poke & Grill is right up there with the best. They have a wide selection of toppings and a bunch of sauces to mix and match. Their portions are filling and the quality is fresh. They even have tasty hibachi options and rolls. The service is quick and there's always someone at the front waiting for you. The ambiance is nice because there's outdoor seating along with a grassy area for little ones to run around. Definitely recommend if you're shopping in the area. My Order: - Green Tea Rice - Spicy Tuna - Salmon - Tuna - Shrimp - Green onion - Red Onion - Corn - Edamame - H2O Signature Sauce - Ginger Sesame Shoyu - Seaweed Salad - Avocado - Onion Crisp

    H20 poke is the best poke i've ever had. it was my go to place for so long before i moved out of the area. now, whenever i visit, i always make sure i stop by. the quality is always an 11/10- super cold, fresh fish and veggies. they offer a complimentary scoop of crab and spicy tuna which is cool. avocado is extra but they literally give you a GIANT serving. i will forever come back here. prices are very fair too! love this place!

    Poke Bowl (spicy tuna & tuna)
    Cathrine S.

    I remember the poke here being some of my favorite, but on my last visit I wasn't as impressed. Firstly, there is only one size option for the poke bowl and the price is comparable to the "Large," option at many other poke bowl places. Not only that but the size you get here is for 3 scoops of fish, which is comparable to a "small," bowl at other places. This already wasn't grabbing me. They are very generous with the toppings, however I was not informed the avocado would be an additional $2... that is more than an entire avocado at the grocery store. By the time I checked out my bowl was about $17. I did appreciate the yelp check-in offer for a free miso soup, so utilize that! I stopped in for the convenience of the location, but I'm not sure if I will be returning in the near future.. there are many delicious poke restaurants in Irvine that have a wider menu and more reasonable pricing.

    This was my first time trying this place. I ended up going before closing time and I wish I got there sooner. The worker helping me was very friendly. I asked if he preferred the sushi rice or green tea rice and he said he loved the green tea rice. I was sold with the green tea rice however they barely had any left. He decided to give me what was remaining and added on sushi rice which I didn't mind. I also liked when he asked me if the amount of rice was alright or if I wanted more. Also, they offered a free protein (spicy tuna or crabmeat). I decided to get the spicy tuna. I don't think it would have mattered if i got either or since I still got crabmeat as one of my protein choice along with scallops and salmon. For my add ons I got: cucumber, green and red onions, edamame, ginger, seaweed salad with their H20 signature sauce. I added tempura flakes and crispy onions as well drizzled spicy mayo on top. Honestly, the green tea rice is a game changer! I definetly need to come back during the day to get more of this. The fish was fresh and didn't taste fishy at all. I also enjoyed their H2O signature sauce. They also have a grill if you're not a fish fan and also offer sushi rolls. Overall, I had a great experience and enjoyed my poke bowl.

    Most excellent experience, solid value, fresh fish, tasty rolls and poke. Alex and the rest of the team give magnificent service. So so so very good here. Clean very spacious spot. Our go to place.

    Don't be fooled by the presentation. Mediocre lol
    Deana Y.

    It's decent nothing special! I needed something healthy to eat so this is the first thing I saw in my face. The fish is mediocre & the topping selection is alright. I'm not sure but the staff looked so miserable & the ambience was not inviting what so Ever.

    Justin M.

    Never too crowded or much of a line. Fresh fish and they always pack my bowl as full as it can possibly go. It's funny because they never give my 110lb girlfriend nearly as much food as me (probably assuming she eats less) even though she has a big appetite, so she gets pissed and tries to steal some of mine.
