Their service was so friendly! Our food was made so quickly and it was tasty! I got the Garlic Spice and Cali Hawaiian. My favorite was the Cali Hawaiian.

my boyfriend found this spot by chance and we couldn't believe how good the poke was! the poke is definitely more authentic unlike a lot the businesses in the area. i always get the garlic spice flavor and highly recommend it if you enjoy spicy food! :)

I wanted to try this poke after I read others review but the fish quality is not as good as people describe. I tried spicy garlic and spicy mayo with both ahi tuna and salmon. both were salty and I tasted fishly smell. But the service was great and friendly and they gave me free sample to try another flavor! I might went on a bad day but I don't think I'll go back.

Delicious poke from the nicest people! It was so good I came two days in a row. I tried their sweet&spicy with tuna and salmon and their spicy mayo salmon and I really enjoyed having both flavors in one plate. The spicy mayo is definitely spicier than what you would get at other poke places around but so yummy and flavorful. Less expensive than "build your bowl" style poke bowls with more fish as opposed to toppings. I can't wait to try more flavors soon :)

Spicy mayo salmon and cali Hawaiian tuna

I have been waiting for this place to open after many years. They used to be called Poke Etc. Located in Cerritos. This is the only poke place I have been consistently going to in SoCal. I would always get their poke bowl with spicy mayo salmon and cali Hawaiian tuna. I believe those are the best flavors there for me. The cali Hawaiian is very creamy and spicy mayo has an addicting salty taste. Their fish always tastes fresh and chewy for me, the perfect texture. They are run by a mother and son duo, the mom is very sweet and nice, the son very handsome and charismatic. I highly recommend 11/10!

Aloha plate

Would like to gatekeep but also need everyone to try this place Got the aloha plate which comes with kahlua pork, rice, and one flavor of poke. I got spicy mayo salmon and a side of seaweed salad. Service was great! They gave me a small sample of the sweet & spicy flavor and it paired perfectly with the spicy mayo . Everything was so good and fresh! Can't wait to come back and try all the flavors. They are located in the Action Sales parking lot across the street from The District next to the construction site.

Ahi and Salmon Poke

The poke quality is top tier! Great quality and flavor of fish and even better sauces! Owners are super nice! Definitely recommend and new go-to spot for poke

This spot is so delicious! The fish was fresh and the pork had a smoky, yummy flavor. The sweet and spicy tuna was my favorite!

We're so glad they are so close to where we live! Their poke is so fresh and reminds us of Hawaii. We usually get spicy mayo, cali Hawaiian and just recently tried the sweet and spicy. It's all so good and flavorful. Seaweed salad is great. Staff is so friendly. We will be coming back often!

Lau Lau-kalua pork and salmon

The day of my visit was last Sunday 2/15/26. I discovered this Hawaiian food truck on youtube from youtuber Rockstareater. The food truck offers poke by the pound or half pound, poke bowls, and plates. The two types of fish used are Salmon and Ahi with as many as 20 different poke flavors. I ordered the Halona Plate which comes with one scoop of white rice, one scoop of poke I chose sweet and spicy, a generous portion of kalua pork and one piece of lau lau which is kalua pork and salmon mixed together into a leaf and cooked. All came out to $18 and change. The customer service was excellent. The truck was ran by a young man and a older woman I believe to be his mother. She walked us through the menu and her son recommended the Halona Plate and even gave us a poke sample of CA style. Overall the food was good. Poke was fresh, rice was moist, and pork was flavorful. I did like the flavor and taste of the lau lau by it was dry. I probably wouldn't order it again. The mother mentioned they had a brick and mortar store in Artesia/Cerritos but converted to a food truck due to increasing rent. I would return and recommend.

The fish quality is great, the addons are unique and well done and add a lot of variety to the poke.

My…read morewife and I wanted to try something healthy for lunch today, and she suggested this place, Pokeworks. Sounded like a nice, modern deli or maybe a grill. Boy, were we wrong. I walk up to the counter and the kid working there--who looked like he was barely out of middle school and couldn't even bother to take his airpods out--asks what I want. I look at the menu board, which is incredibly confusing, and I just order the Spicy Ahi bowl because I like a little kick to my food. I figure it's like a spicy chicken or cooked fish taco bowl. I watch the guy scoop some rice, put some vegetables in, and then he reaches into a container and scoops out a bunch of pink cubes. I thought maybe it was marinated tofu or something that was going to get popped into a microwave or a toaster oven behind the counter. But no. He just slaps a lid on it and hands it to me. I took it to a table, opened it up, and picked up a piece with my fork. It felt cold. And slimy. I took a bite, and my jaw hit the floor. IT WAS COMPLETELY RAW FISH. I walked right back up to the counter and told the manager, "Hey bud, you forgot to cook my lunch. This fish is completely raw, it's a major health hazard." The kid literally looks at me, blinks, and says, "Sir, it's poke. It's supposed to be raw." Are you kidding me?! I don't care what hip millennial trend you call it, you cannot serve people uncooked seafood in this country! I asked to speak to a manager, and some young woman comes out and tries to explain to me that poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish of raw marinated fish. I told her I don't care if it's from Hawaii or the moon, I am not trying to get salmonella or a tapeworm on my lunch break. I work hard for my money, and I expect my food to pass through a heat source before it hits my plate! They refused to put it in an oven or even a microwave for me, and they wouldn't give me a refund because they said the food was prepared correctly. Unbelievable. I ended up throwing the entire $18 bowl right into the trash can and going to the restaurant down the street where they actually understand how to cook meat. Save your hard-earned money and avoid this place at all costs unless you want a one-way ticket to the emergency room for food poisoning. I will be contacting the local health department first thing Monday morning. Utterly ridiculous.

Line was out the door on a Saturday afternoon, but we probably made it to the front in ~15 minutes…read more We thankfully were able to find a table for the 3 of us pretty easily after ordering. There's a parking lot next door, which alleviated stress over parking around a beach. My friends and I shared the ahi poke, salmon poke, and ceviche. Each of the orders came with chips. Everything was flavorful but our favorites were between the ahi and the salmon. While I wouldn't say it was the best poke I've had, especially considering the wait, it was still tasty and worth trying!

I absolutely loved my experience at the sushi bar! I felt very welcomed and accommodated…read more I had the spicy roll with Ineda. The baby yellowtail was so buttery. I loved the spicy chili oil and the fish combination. The shrimp tempura adds another layer of smoothness! Overall a very satisfying roll. I was also offered the Tako sashimi. The octopus was creamy and tasted beautiful. I love the soft and chewy combination. I have always had a deep love for octopus. The service is wonderful. I had a very fun experience. It is extremely lively but you are able to get your food very fast and your beer even quicker!

This place has ruined poke for me. It's raised my standards so high, I can't get poke anywhere else…read morein California. The fish is always fresh and the Godzilla is my favorite sauce. For only $1.80, you get a large serving of avocado. My bowl came out to just under $19, which is typical. The service is great and workers are fast!

Came here based on a friend's recommendation and glad I did. Prices have gone up over the years,…read morebut still a good deal. This place is a bit more like Hawaiian style poke, minus the fact that they don't pre marinate. The employees here are sooo nice and so helpful. They were patient with all our questions. You can order at the tablet. I got one of their basic sauces. I like that they let me try some sauces and we're really helpful with describing each sauce. My friend was a huge fan of the avocado sauce Cucumbers and salad: really refreshing and plated so beautifully Ahi and salmon: you can get ahi, salmon, or a mix. I appreciate the choices. No extra charge for doing half half. The fish is good quality. I like the fish eggs on top - it's a nice touch. By default, you get imitation crab meat and seaweed salad. Then, you have a choice of two sides - white or brown rice, salad, and cucumbers. You can also just get a cup of poke without the other stuff. Sauces like soy sauce and Sriracha are self serve. Parking is free in the strip mall lot.
