5 stars, well deserved and earned! :) At first glance it's your standard Poke place, but I was really impressed at the quality and portions vs. price! I came in with my son and figured we would share a large bowl - 4 protein options and whatever you want down the line. They were generous with the protein portions, and it was under $20 with tip for the bowl - and it was enough for both of us to eat well! The ambiance is nice and clean, no fishy smell or anything off putting. The seating is limited, it may get packed at lunch time, no idea, but you're also at the end of Main St., just go walk to the beach and enjoy. ;) I'd most certainly eat here again, and if you like Poke I'd certainly give this place a safe thumbs up! :) read more

Papa Poke - Poke Near Me - Seal Beach, California

This is hands down my favorite poke restaurant, and I'm so lucky it's right down the street from me in Surfside. I've probably been here 20 to 30 times at this point, and I keep coming back because it is just that good. The fish is incredibly fresh, the flavors are amazing, and everything on the menu is consistently delicious. At the end of the day, the quality of the food is what matters most -- and they absolutely deliver every single time. But the real heart of this place is the staff. They are so kind, so warm, and genuinely some of the sweetest people ever. They always give generous scoops, they always remember me, and every time I walk in they greet me like a friend. Half the time they're laughing like, "We'll see you tomorrow!" and honestly... they're not wrong. I wish nothing but success for this place. They deserve it. Amazing food, amazing people, and a spot I'll keep returning to again and again. read more

Randomly walking around Seal Beach, I came across this place. I looked it up on Yelp and noticed how good the reviews were, so I decided to give it a go. When I opened the door, there were two people there ready to help and a third one came out with enthusiasm and hospitality. It took me a few minutes to decide what I want, but I settled on the Rainbow Bowl. I added Ponzu sauce and asked for Chili Oil and Spicy Mayo on the side. Upon my first bite, I could tell this place used fresh ingredients. Every bite took me back to Hawaii. The staff consistently checked to make sure we were enjoying the food. I also liked that they had a self-serve water station. It's not a large place but they had enough seating for a few small groups. It has its own parking lot which is useful because it is close to the beach where parking options are slim and almost always taken. If I'm in the area again, this is one place I'll consider for some fresh poke. read more

Papa Poke - 5. Rainbow Bowl - Poke Near Me - Seal Beach, California

This place makes me laugh! Upon entering, you'll automatically get this Asian feel with all the pandas and bamboo decor. Then your eyes start to wander towards the walls because of the interesting artwork made by their guests and scotched taped to the walls. If you look up, you will be transported to ROME! I love it. It's totally a part of their charm. They were really generous with the amount of Poke and toppings. I got free miso soup and my avocado cuts were just the right consistency. The workers were helpful when I didn't know what toppings to put in my bowl. They reminded me that I wanted crispy onions!! I'm coming back! read more

So delicious poke is fresh and super flavored!! 10/10 would recommend. I ordered a poke bowl with smoked tuna, salmon, and plain tuna, and everything tasted super well together. They have sets as well that can be perfect for trying a little bit of everything. read more

The poke was very delicious, they had great options for toppings and protein. I enjoyed the nice decorations and the lights, and the pricing for the bowls is also very reasonable as well. The workers were very kind and funny. 10/10 Recommend this spot! read more

This place is super fresh and delicious. Upon entering, I wanted to run away because I recently started eating fish after being vegan for 27 years and I wasn't sure about a little hole in the wall. Man, can looks be deceiving. I had all 3 scoops the fresh tuna then built my own bowl. They have a plethora of fresh produce and pickled toppings. I will definitely be back. Service was very friendly and attentive as well. read more

The staff was friendly and the portions were definitely the best portions in this area. read more

Papa Poke - Poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I built my own bowl with brown rice, spicy tuna, salmon, albacore, seaweed salad, cucumber, mango, crispy onions with eel sauce and ponzu sauces. -- and everything tasted super clean and flavorful. The fish was definitely fresh (no weird smell or aftertaste), and I appreciated that they had a good variety of toppings and sauces. The staff was friendly and patient as I picked our bowl toppings. The only downside was that the seating was limited and the space a little tight during the lunch rush, but for takeout or a quick bite, it's perfect. Pricing was fair for the quality -- around $13-$16 per bowl depending on your protein. Parking is a problem so there goes my one star. read more

food 4.8/5 service 5/5 crazy good and cheap poke for 2025. $13.95 for 3 scoops of protein. i did all the toppings except jalapeño and avocado the only thing i would change is to have the sauces mixed into the proteins but they put it on top. this place is different because they have fresh ingredients and the price is decent. highly recommended read more

The fish was bad and metallic like it wasn't handled properly or was starting to spoil. This was our second time coming here and the first time was great. We just couldn't eat our fish this time and were disappointed. I was kinda worried about food poisoning i guess i'll see with time. read more

This poke spot is pretty good! After a nice day at the beach, we were craving a delicious bowl of poke. The pricing is pretty good for the amount of poke you get. I like that we have the option to choose as many toppings as we like. The workers were also very nice and welcoming as soon as we walked in. It was kind of cold in the store, and they offered to turn the AC lower which was very nice of them. They also gave us stamp cards, so maybe we will be back if we're in the area again! read more

We loved the different ingredient options like jicama, mango, cilantro, and jalapeños. It gave a refreshing pop to the standard topping flavor profile of edamame, wasabi, ginger and corn. Also, what a value! A full 3-scoop protein bowl was only $13.95. Hard to find that in other Poke businesses right now. We loved our food and would definitely come back! read more

Papa Poke - Make your own bowll Salmon, crab, avocado, seaweed salad, edamami, cucumber and pineapple. On rice with spicy mayo sauce - Poke Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Nice fresh ingredients. Super prompt line. I like the selection of their toppings. However, their fish is very small. It's almost as if you are just eating a super fresh salad rather than a poki bowl. Also, I think their reviews might be slightly inflated since they give you a free soup when you leave a review. Decent choice wouldn't come again read more

Great portion with decent price in downtown Seal Beach, $13 for 3 scoops of protein. We didn't have to wait long for the bowl to be ready. I love the variety of toppings, really yummy. The store is small but very clean and neat. I was surprised my the Thai tea, the cup was huge for $5. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area. read more

OUR FAVORITE LOCAL POKE SHOP! This place is the best pick your bowl style poke that we have had! The fish is super fresh and cut small which makes it taste better. The topping options are great! They have a Club card so you can get a free bowl after 9 bowls. The only negative I would say, is they consider Krab salad as a protein whereas most other places consider it a topping. But we took advantage of the Club card because we love it so much! Everyone here is super nice and friendly. read more

Excellent Poke place. Seafood was fresh and toppings and sauces were flavorful. Service is great as well. Will definitely return!

I love grabbing a quick lunch here every now and then. The workers are friendly and quick to create your order, and they always cheekily tell you, "See you tomorrow!" My favorite thing about ordering here is that there is an option to order a "mini bowl" - you get one scoop of fish and all the toppings you want in a smaller bowl for only $9. I believe this is only available in-person. QUICK TIP: Make sure to pick up a stamp card - after a certain number of orders, you get a free mini bowl. read more

Hands down some of the freshest fish I've had in the area. You can tell the tuna and salmon are high-quality, no 'fishy' taste at all. The toppings were vibrant and the portions were very generous. Definitely my new go-to spot when I want something healthy and filling! read more
