    5. Rainbow Bowl
    Stefan C.

    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.

    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! :)

    Panda Poke has very fresh and generous poke bowls. We have visited here many times and always leave satisfied. I think their pricing is fair as well. Service is fast and efficient and the place is kept very clean.

    Spectacular food and incredible service. I forgot my wallet on the table and they came and found me across the street to return it to me 15 minutes later. Give these guys business, they're awesome

    Soooooo gewdddd! Seared tuna and spicy salmon is delicious. Really good portions. I'll be a regular from now on!

    3 scoop for $13. Great selection of items and toppings. Portions were phenomenal. Service was extremely fast and kind. Special note: salmon today was so buttery. Melted in your mouth. That gave it the 5 star!

    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

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

    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!

    Brought our bowls to the beach

    Great spot for poke! I got the four scoops and my total was 17.43. It was so good and fresh.

    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!

    Make your own bowll Salmon, crab, avocado, seaweed salad, edamami, cucumber and pineapple. On rice with spicy mayo sauce

    Very fresh! Ordered online pick up and was ready when I got there. Made my own bowl and it was delicious! Definitely will order again. Staff was friendly and restaurant was clean.

The staff is always kind, and the quality has never disappointed us. It has quickly become one of our favorite places, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

    My husband and I came here because I was craving poke and I've been wanting to try this place out…read more Bad idea to come during lunch rush hour because we waited a long time in line to be served. There were only 3 workers working during lunch rush hour and some of them seemed a little frazzled (imo). But when it was our turn to order, the servers were really helpful. My husband ordered first, then me. We had 2 different people serving us. The gentleman helping we was very generous on the protein scoop, so I was happy about that. However when it got to my toppings, he gave very little. But I was satisfied with the amount of protein he gave, because some places can be very stingy about how much they give you. I like how they have a set plate such as the Hawaiian bbq chicken and salmon bowl. They also have premade proteins such as the sweet glazed salmon or the tuna luau. They have a variety of choices. The ambiance of this location is nice. There are lots of tables and seats for you to sit and enjoy your meal. My husband and I got ours to go. When we got home, there was too much base for me. I asked for lite rice and my bowl was full of rice. And as mentioned, not enough toppings to my liking. But overall, a good poke place. Definitely a place to check out if you want a variety of selections when customizing your poke.

(Now I've eaten poke in 8 different countries in over 40 cities. I LOVE POKE! Poke.Co is in my top 5. I issue is...EVERY TIME I come here, my chest hurts just a little. I go & I feel like a 10 year old asking for a favor...I'm 62. I should not feel anxiety going to have lunch. Let me explain. Their process is to make these pretty little bowls with a scoop of this here, a scoop of that, there...the toppings all nicely placed. That's great but I like my fish & toppings mixed together and then served on top of the rice and it's a pain to mix it all together in the bowl. They have steel bowls in the back. When I come in, I tell them, "you're going to mix the toppings tougher, please get one of the bowls from the kitchen to mix the toppings together. Today...Employee (Elise maybe -Tues Mar 17at 1:30pm -short w/glasses), "We put in in the bowl", Me,"I like all my fish and toppings mixed together so if you use the bowl you can just she says, " well I'm just gonna put it all in first to get the portions correct". I tell her, "OK if that works for you". because she was giving attitude. I get it...I've asked you to change your process, but whether you mix the toppings and fish or not..."Not your ranch, not your cattle." You're not making anything more an hour whether I leave happy or dissatisfied. (I'm there generally 6 times a month) Anyway, the other thing? They portion using scoopers. So the argument made no sense...AND the fish go in a clear plastic cup, NOT THE BOWL while they make it. I realized at that point, her ego was involved... why? So she does it her way......we get to the end where she mixes the fish together, she starts to mix and I tell her, "oh don't mix yet, you're going to add the toppings." She continues mixing for a few more seconds like I hadn't said anything and tell her, what toppings I wanted. She puts those on top of the takeout bowl... I tell her, "I don't understand this process "... She then says, "I'll go get the bowl now." And does. She brings it back and then dumps everything including rice into the mixing bowl. At this point I'm pretty done. I say, "stop. I didn't ask it to all be mixed together. You didn't listen to me. I told you specifically I wanted my fish and toppings mixed on top of the rice. She says, "I can scoop out the rice." And she does. She then mixes the fish and toppings together and pours it over the rice, (as she shakes her head). I started to walk out but honestly, I've spent the last 3 months overseas and I have been craving Poke Co. It is the best but I'm no longer feeling good when I go because I never know if the employee is going to be pleasant or perturbed that I've asked them to do something outside of their process. I think it's time for another Long Beach poke spot...one where I feel welcome to eat my food the way I want it.
