    Great location. Affordable prices. The fresh fruit water was outstanding. Can't wait to come back to the Alleys to eat at J's Mart Cafe! The service was very professional and there was a great variety of food.

    Chicken noodle soup
    Deidre M.

    Haven't had their chicken noodle soup in many many years -- but today was the day! Piping hot and made with love. Clearly homemade! Not sodium salty; very mild fresh healthful taste. Love the slight fusion with the potato and cilantro inside. This huge amount will last me 2 meals! Also props for the sturdy packaging and it stayed hot AF!!!!

    What a gem! I love this little place! For starters the woman who takes your order and the cook have such good energy. I noticed that they are very clean which is a big thing for me when I'm eating out. I won't even eat off of a food truck, simple because they don't have a health grade from LA County. Anyway I wanted something healthy so I ordered the egg salad sandwich, salad and mango smoothie. The bread to my surprise was lightly toasted and the ranch dressing tastes like it was home made. I expected the smoothie to be loaded down with sugar but to my enjoyment it was not. I couldn't believe how fresh and how perfect this little meal was. I spent $19.00 and will gladly do it again!

    Breakfast bagel was PERFECT!!
    Ray M.

    First time customer and I LOVED their food. I had a breakfast bagel with ham, tomato, lettuce, extra mustard on a plain bagel. Sounds simple but the taste was AWESOME!! My breakfast bagel was fresh and tasty. I also had a glass of fresh squeezed OJ which was the BEST I have had in a very long time. I don't know the rest of their menu as a coworker picked this up for me but I can definitely see myself visiting this place at at least once per week

    I ordered the Raspberry Revolution which was so refreshing on a hot afternoon in LA. It was made to order with mainly fresh ingredients. I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie for my friend who also enjoyed hers.

    Poke bowl
    Steph W.

    I got a poke bowl. A large with one scoop brown rice and salad with spicy tuna, shrimp, salmon, ahi tuna, spicy mayo, and almost all toppings without jalapenos and corn. The fish and the sauce were great. The rice was a little tough and hard to eat. Not a deal breaker, but as someone who eats rice everyday, I was a little disappointed. And not a lot was given for rice or salad was also a lot. I understand its one scoop of each but it was still not a lot for one scoop either. It was almost 17 bucks for the order including avocado.

    Was walking by with my hubby and saw this place decided to come in and give it a try. I was greeted very well and he even helped me with my poke bowl and suggested a few things and it was delicious I also got a cucumber and mint drink. Everything was fresh and so delicious. I will be coming back I have found a great place with many options to choose from. I highly recommend you eating here you will not regret it.

    Large poke, large mango smoothie, fried
    Lou B.

    Wow this is the best poke I've ever had. So fresh, awesome ingredients, awesome sauces. Huge portion, and super nice staff. Never knew this place existed, and now I'll probably be here once a week ha! I also got an order of fries extra crispy with extra salt and they are perfect. The mango smoothie could have more flavor but it definitely hit the spot. If you're thinking about coming here, do it!

    What they're proud to serve
    Charmaine L.

    No morning rush, uncomplicated order (1 ingredient "sandwich") -- and they still managed to serve me burnt toast. It passed by the cook and then the owner ??? Clearly a business that values their customers.. Also note: they still use styrofoam boxes and cups (way to save the planet, guys). Last NOTE $5 minimum card order. Was only inconvenienced to order elsewhere due to fashion bistro being closed. CMC needs to find better eateries to house. More health conscious driven businesses, please.

    This place is such a gem!! Located in the bottom floor of the California Market Center (the one with the Union Bank outside), with signs for everything from smoothies, to sandwiches, to sushi! And they've totally got it all! The staff is SO NICE! and so awesome. I had their bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on white bread and OMG it was oozingly awesome. Like cheese and egg dripping down my arm as I walked myself home, and I did not care. Not one bit. Also had the "System Tune-up" juice (Beets, Carrots, Cucumbers) and it was delish! So fresh, cuz they make it as you order, right in front of you! No fancy stuff, just good old juices! Inexpensive (especially the breakfast combo), awesome service, and stellar food! Defintiely becoming a favorite!

    Best Chicken Spinach Wrap I have had in a Long Time.

    One of the best HIDDEN Gem's in DTLA. Johnny's such a great person. I wasn't in the mood for a Poki Bowl, so he suggested a couple options and I opted out for the Chicken Wrap. This was by far one of the greatest wraps I have had in a long time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking a quick and healthy lunch. Thanks guys at Js Mart Cafe.

    In LA for Anime Expo 2026, my friend and I were staying at the Hyatt House LA - University Medical…read moreCenter and after a full day of flying, we were looking for dinner, not wanting to travel too far from our hotel. My friend wanted me to try something new and since I had never had poke before, All About Poke fit the bill! We walked in around 6:45pm on a Wednesday. We were the only customers inside, but the two young women working behind the counter were bustling making Uber Eats/Door Dash orders, which was fine with me as it gave my friend and I time to look at all the options on the menu. The staff were friendly and quick, so when we were ready to order, it didn't take long before we were cashed out and eating. Inside there were several tables and chairs and since there was no one else inside, we had no problem grabbing a table. It was pretty clean inside and music played over speakers to make sure there was no dead air. For dinner, I ordered a medium poke bowl: brown rice base, three (good-sized) scoops of tofu, House Sauce, topped with avocado (small upcharge), cucumber, cilantro, and the "Whole Shebang" (fried garlic, sesame seed, fried onion, and furikake), with a small sample of wasabi on the side of the bowl and a cup of wasabi mayo for my free, extra sauce, as well as a cherry vanilla Olipop to wash it all down. I am really impressed, the poke bowl was delicious and surprisingly filling! The tofu tasted great, I was glad I added avocado which added a little creaminess to the bowl, and their House Sauce was great! Every ingredient in this bowl came together nicely! But if you need to clear your sinuses, get the wasabi - Wooo, my eyes were watering and my nose was running from that! The wasabi mayo is much milder, thank goodness, and was a nice, small addition. The medium-size was surprisingly filling and I think the price reflected that well. I did want a sweet treat to round out my meal, so I grabbed a vanilla macaron, which had vanilla ice cream in the middle, as well. The ice cream inside was creamy and the macaron had great texture with plenty of vanilla, a nicely sized treat! For my first time having a poke bowl, I think All About Poke did a great job! Friendly and quick customer service, fresh ingredients, and good-size portions, what more could I ask for? I wouldn't mind at all coming back for lunch or dinner.

I've eaten here so many times over the years, and this was honestly the first time I left feeling a little disappointed.

The service was good and fish/toppings plentiful. The employee was patient when we asked for almost all the toppings. Love the lemon cream! The crispy onion is what keeps us coming back--a must!!

The worker seemed visibly annoyed to answer my questions (thus my suggestion at studying beforehand!) and listlessly fulfilled the order after I made my decision. I won't be returning, but for anyone looking for a mid-tier poke place in a plaza with many options (if you have a group), I think it's a decent option!

To make matters worse, my poke bowl had noticeably less food than I've received at other 8 Oz Poke locations, and it wasn't nearly as flavorful as the Encino location. The quality and portion were both underwhelming. I was also surprised to find there's an additional fee if you want to sit and eat there. After an unpleasant interaction, a smaller and less flavorful meal, an extra dine-in fee, and then being prompted for a tip, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be returning to this location. If you have the option, I'd recommend going to the Encino location instead.
