This is the best and freshest poke I have tried in Dana Point! I got the box with spicy tuna and salmon with a greens base and added sesame seeds, spicy mayo, green onions, masago, cucumbers, avocado, furikake and wasabi! I chose the mac salad for my side! It wasn't too wet and had crunchy vegetables. The portions are very generous and this kept me full for so long! They have so many topping options and it's conveniently located right across from the beach! This makes me want to go back next week! read more

went around 30 mins before they were closing but the girl was still super accommodating ! they already had closed the indoor seating so we ate at beach. most of us got the small plate which came with 2 scoops and 2 sides, pretty filling for a small bite as well. i had the salmon w/ spicy mayo which was okay. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! Prompt service. The flavor suggested hit the spot! Will be back for sure! This is JB.

Great portions, great fish, sauce options were good! Loved it all and I take my fish seriously. Highly recommend! Also note, if you're looking to share a meal with a friend or your gf, you could easily share a bowl and I don't say that lightly. read more

Mid quality poke with hefty portions. This is just personal opinion but I think crab salad, seaweed salad, edamame that they put as sides should just be toppings. I got spicy tuna and salmon but one thing that threw me off was the spicy tuna wasn't put on the side as a scoop like most places but rather mixed in a bowl. I think they should ask the customers if they would want their bowls mixed because not everyone likes it mixed. Not a big deal tho. I wish they had sushi rice an option. This place wasn't bad and it still fixed our poke cravings since we were craving poke on the beach. They do hook you up fat with toppings and the small does fill you up. Gf got the small I got the large but I honestly would just go for the small. It's not that much of a difference. read more

this is by far one of the best poke places around, and I come here at least once every two weeks. Everyone here is so kind and nice, and are always willing to give me extra pineapple. Today at 11:20AM the lady before me was being extremely rude and monotone with the workers. After working years in customer service, I know how those customers can really affect your day. Despite her attitude, the workers in there were super nice and sweet. Just wanted to point that out cause people really don't acknowledge the bs customers will do and have an expectation that the customer can do whatever and the workers have to deal with it. Wishing everyone here the best you guys rock. read more

i truly love my bowl. this pic is after i devoured several bites. this is the 3 scoop and i ordered scallops, tuna and octopus. the base here is half white rice, half salad. i got every topping except pineapple and wasabi. my sauces were cilantro, sesame oil and one other i forget. there's a lot of pickled ginger. so i'm happy chowing down at the park. i'm unsure any other poke place could be as satisfying. read more

The food here is fresh and good. It's a great place to get something quick. The service is decent. I'd say it's a little pricey if you get the large but that's expected as you're getting fish. The ambience is chill, and there's a nice little sit down area inside. If you enjoy poke and fresh fish, come try this place out, I enjoyed it. read more

Good place to go for poke. The first time I tried them, I didn't pick the best options for my bowl. I went with salad greens as my base, mild shoyu for the sauce, and only one type of fish for the 3 scoops in my bowl. There was a large quantity of greens taken out of a plastic bag for my bowl and I felt they tasted plain. The mild shoyu sauce didn't have much flavor. I did think the option of pineapple for a topping was interesting but was unsure if it would taste good with the poke. The next time I went, I asked for the pineapple and it was a good addition - I would go with this again. I had the brown rice as a base, which was much better than the greens. For the sauce, I chose shoyu and had sesame oil added. I went for tuna, salmon, and shrimp. In both visits the fish tasted fresh. My second time around was a better and more flavorful experience. The 3 scoop bowl is a large enough quantity for me. I would go back. read more

This place used to be a 5 star for me but now it's hit a low. It must be the two kids working there, the appearance and well the overall vibe. I came in tonight 9/4 at 7:27pm. The two kids working there were very friendly to the two guys in front of me. The girl simply looked at me, walked passed me to the back, came back out to the front, looked at me again and the boy was just standing at the register fiddling almost as if he was waiting for her to take my order and she looks and him and points at me and says "can you help this customer I'm gonna go mop" Look I get it I used to work as a teen, but I worked hard because I needed to make money for my family and I chose to work the job, keyword CHOSE. So for her to just walk past me twice and point at me was rude. And both of them just seeing who was going to help me first is the worst customer service. The whole stand was so messy and the presentation looked very, excuse my language, shitty considering the hike in price. The guys who used to work there were always nice and wouldn't have such a rude vibe to them. read more

Fresh everything. Nothing tasted old. Servers were great! They had a fantastic attitude.

Was in the area for a few days and I was craving poke and thank goodness that Yelp led me here! The portions are AWESOME for the price and the fish is so fresh! The sauces are also pretty spot on and the guy who worked there when I went was so nice and welcoming. I really can't rave enough about this place. If you're in the area and want something filling yet light and refreshing, this is it! read more

Would go here again. read more

I'm normally not a poke person but this place has changed my mind! The server said this is the best poke in oc and I believe her! My bowl was so tasty and delicious with super generous portions. Server was very kind and helpful explaining their popular sauces and recommendations. I got a 3 scoop poke bowl with tuna, spicy tuna and albacore and my boyfriend got a 5 scoop one with the same plus salmon and shrimp! We got half salad and half brown rice and basically all the toppings. Macaroni salad is a nice touch as well as a miso soup! My bf got crab meat and edamame as well! Everything was fresh and delicious! Our portions weighed a lot too, think chipotle weight! We also got a delicious freshly made spam musibi! They stop making them after 7pm tho! There is an intimate area for seating but we picked it up and drove across the street to eat at the Dana pointe harbor park. Definitely would come back here when I visit the area! Reasonable prices for good quality fresh food! read more

Fresh. Delicious. Filling. In a surf vibe. Right across from Doheny. It's served salad bar style. In generous portions.

Food was very tasty, but be warned that the portion served of actual protein and even sides are really small. Had to eat somewhere else to finished getting full. read more

Mmm poké. This place was close to where we were staying so I stopped by for dinner one day. I got a regular size half greens half white rice with two proteins: spicy tuna and salmon, and 3 sides: edamame, Crab salad, and avocado for $1 extra. Toppings included green onions, cucumbers, dried onions, sesame seeds, furikake, and more that I didn't get. I chose their house spicy and spicy mayo for my sauces and it was packed in a cardboard box. That thing was heavy! Only thing I could change is not get the tuna, the texture isn't my favorite. I forgot to get soy sauce and when I asked, he gave me two small containers. Both young men working were friendly and efficient and I loved my food, so much of it I struggled to finish it but don't worry, I did. And I got the smaller of the options. Always nice to find a solid poké place, you won't go wrong with Kamea. read more

Kamea Poke - Regular poké bowl with spicy tuna and salmon - Poke Near Me - Dana Point, California

I don't recommend coming here for poke. $20 for a large bowl is extreme, but justified if the portions fit the price sadly that's not the case. The 5 scoops looked like a sad 2 scoops at any other poke place. The server that helped me versus the server helping the order beside me had noticeably different serving sizes for a large bowl. The quality of fish doesn't justify the price hike either. read more

Have came here a handful of times after surfing at Doheney. The food is great and I have no problem with the food, great portions. Only reason this is a two star is for one of the employees is extremely rude. There is a clear sign that says that the bathroom is for customers only, which is fine. I am a customer and have a right to the bathroom, so I head on in. As I'm in there I'm hearing knocking on the door pretty loud, I thought it was one of my friends the way it was so loud... Then I walk out and she's standing there telling me next time or use the key. Um, the door was open? What key? Anyways, great place but employee a little rude! read more

I love poke, and when visiting Dana Point, this is the place to go. The portions are HUGE for a great price. The other poke places I have gone to in Santa Barbara are 1/2 the size and a good 2-3 dollars more expensive. It is a very small joint, so it is understandable that the line was out the door. Plus, they are enforcing social distancing so only 5 people max inside the store at once. The staff were all very genuine and nice, clear when repeating back your order to make sure that they got it correct. I got the regular (vs the large), which comes with 2 sides and 3 scoops of protein. My bowl included: base: 1/2 salad, 1/2 white rice side: hawaiian bread roll, seaweed salad mix ins: cucumber, onion, jalapeño, green onion, pineapple fish/protein: salmon, spicy tuna, and albacore seasoning and sauce: mild shoyu and spicy mayo read more

Top tier Poke at Kamea. The choices for your fish selections are vast, toppings are fresh and the portions are generous! I really love Poke and if you like Poke too, you've probably been to a mediocre Poke spot a time or two... This is not one of them. File this under top ten Poke joints you'll ever have the pleasure of visiting. The shared parking lot is small but there is plenty of parking available in the area. Would've given 5 stars based on food quality, portion and value alone, however the lack of enthusiasm from the two staff members stifled that. read more

This is my first time writing a food review on yelp. I am local, and I use to lived in Hawaii. If you are looking for Hawaiian type poke, this is nothing like it, this is just something look like poke. Ok, I was craving poke, and I accepted the fact that this won't taste like the real one, but I am ok with it. Poke bowl really should be just the poke(fish) and rice. But omg, the white rice tasted like rubber, way too dry!! Then I told the young kid in the back, he gave me some brown rice, and the brown rice tasted even worse!! The brown rice was uncooked and extremely dry. I thought the white rice was so bad, but the brown rice was even worse! Although the boy apologized but I saw him continuously serving the same rubber and uncooked rice to all the other customers. This is what happened if the owner is not in the store, the workers will keep serving all the bad foods to the customers and they don't care. Because they are not the one who eating them and they are not the one who pay for it. They definitely don't care if the customer leaves a bad review. The workers in the back need to be trained how to make some rice. So disappointing. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years and this is officially the end of Kamea. The last few times we have gone, the quality of fish just keeps getting worse and worse. I couldn't even finish my bowl tonight the fish gave me the ick. They have also significantly raised their price. A regular bowl was $13.95 last summer and today it's $17.95!! Absurd for the bad quality of fish you're getting. Service has always been great which is why this is not a 1 star review. Atmosphere is a fun surfer vibe but we will not be back. read more
