I usually make up my own Poké ball, but this time I went with something off the menu and it was amazing, delicious nutritious, and so satisfying! 3 kinds of tuna protein and salad, brown rice, seaweed and from now on... I will be ordering this delicious dish every time so good! Parking is a challenge so I advise everyone to park in the lot across the street. Highly recommend this local gem! 5 yums for sure ;)

My husband and I always go to LemonShark when we want a guaranteed quick and delicious meal!…read more It's a very reasonable price considering the portion size and food quality. I get a poke bowl, my husband gets the bento box (definitely recommend the garlic furikake chicken - it's incredible). There's rarely a long wait and the staff is so friendly and accommodating with requests (Janine, especially, has been amazing). As far as parking goes, you can just pull into the big lot across the street (no payment required) or even in the alley right next to to LemonShark if you're quick and put your hazards on!

Kinda nice until I realized what if there's spiders! lol Anyway the food was alright, I got the get in my belly bowl. One thing I didn't like was the mix of fish, it literally was a mix like it looked like ground fish. I wasn't a fan. Be sure to select on or the other if you want whole chunks of fish! The drinks were pretty refreshing. I did have one really big con though was the menu. I felt overwhelmed looking through it. Each item on the menu had such a long description. I felt pressured to just pick something also because there were people behind us. I also thought it was a bit expensive also. Somehow we spent 57$ on two bowls and two drinks. Not sure if I'd go to be honest. If you try it and let know what you think :)

Took a friend here for her first Poke experience. The fish was fresh, the toppings were good and…read morethe sauces were on par with most of the mainstream places. It was odd because everyone we watched order, had no idea what to do. But on the flip side, these guys are getting the new customers. Only a few tables but they were clean.

I do think I've had better poke elsewhere, BUT I am not taking anything away from the quality here! I'd for sure come back to try other items on the menu!

¥¥¥ 2026 review #11 ¥¥¥…read more Take me back to Hawaii!!! Only those of you who have had Foodieland every single day in Hawaii... #iykyk like I have, would swoon at first poke bite! So glad that Chef Jeff now has a permanent location in Sawtelle that's not too far away from home -- whenever poke cravings hit. Born a foodie in a family of foodies ^_^ , 12-year Black Yelp Elite and a private Chef, I can say there's poke and there's poke. Not all poke are made equal. Chef Jeff's poke and sauces are not only inspired from Foodieland but his take is even better! I'm not usually a big fan of Oyster sauce poke but Feisty Fish Poke won me over with their Oyster sauce marinated Yellowfin Tuna!!! Oh don't even get me started on the big chunks of fresh tuna... Captain's Choice is the way to go! An extra-LARGE poke bowl with your choice of any 2 marinades : we got 1 big scoop of yuzu ponzu + 1 big scoop of oyster sauce marinated yellowfin tuna. And 2 scoops of white rice, a good pile of crunchy Persian cucumber bites, generous serving of fresh seaweed salad (just perfectly seasoned, not overly salty like most places), furikake sprinkle and a drizzle of unagi sauce. PURE POKE HEAVEN!!! For only $30, it's plenty to share for 2 people. There's also the single rice scoop with 1 scoop of poke for $20/bowl with cute names such as: - Sea Candy (teriyaki marinade) - Aw, Shucks! (Oyster sauce marinade) - Ponzu Scheme (yuzu ponzu marinade) - Fuego Mayo (spicy mayo marinade) Honestly can't go wrong with bowl you pick. Must add-on a scoop of Kani salad (mild or spicy) for only $2. I can't think of anything more that I would want in a perfect poke bowl. It's Poke Perfection on the mainland! Hmmm.... maybe I'll bring an avocado and a pack of nori. I'll have to try their Poke nachos next time. The Coco Moco (Choco PB protein shake) also seems super popular, perfect after workout protein treat. Small parking lot share with a gym, and lots of open street parking. Check hours on Yelp or call Chef Jeff before you visit -- just to make sure the truck is there as some days may be booked for catering and special events. *** Drop me a DM when you visit, would love to hear how you like Fiesty Fish Poke!

I love seafood and tend to wait until I'm in Santa Barbara or San Diego for less expensive seafood- however, this is probably the best quality seafood with the best prices in LA! This time, I got the Cajun fish and chips combo and the north shore shrimp plate. This was about $38 which was not bad for the size! There are also daily specials, like Taco Tuesday or burrito specials on Mondays. This specific location is in Culver City in a pretty busy area. I paid on the street but I think there may be a validated lot nearby. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and staff was kind. Will definitely be back!

Monopoke has been one of my go-to spots for years, and honestly, it set the standard for what a…read morepoke place should be. It was one of the first poke spots I ever tried, and they've been consistent from day one. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made just the way I like it. You can taste the quality in every bite. The staff deserves a special mention. They're always friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. I came in with my daughter today, and they treated us with care and respect, which I always appreciate. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Service like that goes a long way. The portions are generous, the ingredients are crisp and fresh, and everything is neatly presented. You never feel rushed, and they're always willing to customize your bowl exactly how you want it. The location is another big plus. It's close to LAX, so it's easy to grab a bowl on the way to the airport or after a long day at work. Parking is simple, and the place is always clean and well kept. Good food. Good people. Good energy. Monopoke is five stars all day.

The spring rolls are also fresh & tasty and go well with the peanut sauce. Great place to pick up some refreshing and healthy food. Friendly staff that work there. They have limited seating indoors but, there's a lovely outdoor seating area in the back which is a shared space with the coffee shop next door. As for parking there is paid meter parking near the front of the store and around the block but can get packed if you go around peak hours of lunch or dinnertime.

Everyone was dismissive. Let me repeat it. Everyone was dismissive. They leave their fish in a fridge over night I can taste the difference of fresh and bad quality... how come it's not fresh? but again service was nothing but horrible. I'd recommend going to sweet fin. Sweet fin provides much more quick and efficient service allowing you to come and go. Bunch of options and the area is nice. Summer is around the corner and it's going to end soon and poke me is off everyone's list including mine. Pictures look great but let's talk about consistency. Been a regular signed up for loyal zoo and even decided to give this location a try after my previous one. Very poor My experience can not be made up and I've concluded my experience and hope everyone reframes from spending money at this business!! Those who leave good reviews most likely are affiliated to the buisness or hasn't seen or wanted to experiment any other poke shop. Go to sweet fin. Be aware of this place. I called the store but nobody answered. 0/10 stars.

I love building a sashimi platter through their sashimi counter!…read more The process: When you enter the store, you grab a ticket and then wait for your turn. Then you select the individual pieces of fish; prices are listed clearly for each piece. They'll then slice the sashimi and create a sashimi platter. The quality: Each piece of sashimi has been carefully selected and cut so that each bite is tender without any stringiness. Their freshness is on par with the sashimi I used to have in Hawaii. The selection: So far, I've had the hamachi (yellowtail), chu toro (fatty tuna), and bluefin tuna, and I can confidently and highly recommend all of these types of sashimi.

Want to add that I ordered one of their next day catering platters and found them to be delicious and reasonably priced. Also, pickup was made so easy! Thanks, Yama. More to come:)

She sold us on the fish and chips and the pacific ceviche both amazing. We noticed the market was empty when we left around 8:30 Olivia still grabbed us 4 g salmon fillets even though the market had already been closed for the night!, we left with a full belly and great service .

I got there with my mother and was greeted by a very lovely gentleman named Clark. He told us we could sit wherever so we seated ourselves in the outside area. He came over right away with the menus and asked if we had been there before to which we responded had not. He went over the menu with us and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. He was very sociable and friendly. We chatted with him and put in an order for the Kiwi Chowder. I ordered a Modelo and my mother ordered a glass of orange blend wine. He came over with the drinks a while later and the Kiwi chowder and have us plenty of time to sit and enjoy the dish before we ordered our main courses. The kiwi chowder was delicious and came with little crackers. The clams and mussels were so tasty and the Ora King Salmon was a nice treat. After a while he came back and served me the Fisherman's Mixed Basket and my mother got the Fish tacos with fish of the day for them being Sword Fish. The fisherman's basket was amazing and paired perfectly with my beer. I had never had clams,mussels, snapper, and oysters all together and they were so good I wish I could have them more frequently. The place was very cute and sat quietly with good music playing. Not current music but music that really fit the place and set the vibe. I will be coming back here and if you ever go, there is no bad choice for the fish, the service is stupendous and I haven't gotten anything like it in forever, and if you meet Clark enjoy a friendly conversation with him.
