I loved coming here for the first time after a nice, relaxing beach day :) My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday and it was empty. They served us right away. The fish was so fresh and delicious. We got the 3 scoops for $13.95 but they also have a mini bowl option for $9. The only thing that is extra is avocado ($1) and extra sauce on the side. Plenty of seating and free water! We ate the bowl in silence and under 5 minutes lol. Will be coming back when we're in the area. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Poke Pola hands down is the best poke place around. I have tried a handful of poke places in the…read morearea and nothing else comes close. First you get a good size portion for your bowl. You get three scopes of protein and the fish has always been good and fresh. There is a good amount of toppings to choose from, all included. (Unless you want extra scoops of crab meat and avocado). The sauces are all good, but I go with the Nirvana which has the perfect blend of flavor and spice. It is a bit pricy ($20), but it's worth it.

I went in and was greeted by a nice woman and glanced over the menu and saw it was pretty clear and direct. I ordered the regular size bowl with 3 proteins I did spicy tuna, Aji and yellowtail and then you can add as many toppings if you want, which was my favorite part of the whole experience! The sauces were also good. I think I opted for one of the basic ones and then I also ordered a bowl of miso soup. The whole transaction was pretty quick and everyone there was pleasant and nice and the price wasn't too high either. I got the food to go and ate it when I got home. The only thing I wasn't 100% into was the spicy tuna. It was like the spicy tuna you'd find in a spicy tuna roll and I was expecting ahi tuna with spicy mayo, so that was just a learning experience. The miso soup was ok, and overall I will definitely go back to this spot again. One request: I wish they had mango as a topping, but overall very enjoyable!

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.

Solid spot for poke bowls if you're in the Cypress area!…read more I was in the area for work - and the hotel I'm staying at is right next to Uroko Poke. Have gone here twice now! It works just like any other Build-your-own Poke Bowl spot. Assembly line-style with the employee on one side and you're on the other side of the glass picking out how to dress up your poke bowl. Employees are friendly, prompt, and efficient. Bases are white rice, brown rice, salad, broccoli - the white rice here is pretty solid - moist and fluffy - not dry or old like other spots. You get your choices of up to 6 sides - I picked spicy crabmeat, regular crabmeat, seaweed salad, avocado (first scoop free), mango and pineapple. Choice of protein - pricing based by # of scoops: 2 @ $16, 3 @ $18, 5 @ $21. I got my usual 3x Salmon. The fish here is fresh, does not carry any smell, didn't taste slimy or frozen. Sauces - I went with my usual mix of sesame oil and spicy mayo. Toppings - First scoop of masago is free, and a dash of green onions completed my bowl for me. Everything tasted fresh - and when you consider that what sets the price is the # of scoops of protein - it's a pretty good deal considering the base and everything else is normal serving scoops. Lots of seating both inside the restaurant and in the outdoors dining area. I just took my order back to my hotel. Tons of free parking alongside the food court, near El Torito. The only downside is their "revamped" Rewards system. Based on the previous reviews, it used to be a punch-type system where you get the 10th bowl free. This is how a lot of the other Poke bowl spots I've gone to work. The new system really works against you. You get 1 point for every $14 or so spent - and 24 points gets you $10 off. My medium poke bowl with tax and tip came out to $20.51 - and yes, I only got 1 point. In other words, not only do you not get a free bowl even after buying over double the number of bowls needed to previously get a free bowl, but once you hit 24 points - you only get $10 off. Pretty pathetic, hence the reason I knocked off a star.

This place is legit so good I dream about their poke bowls. My go to order is: Cook Your Own Bowl (3 scoops) In the bowl: white rice, cooked shrimp, tuna, spicy tuna, avocado, seaweed salad, pineapple, fried onion, spicy mayo sauce, ponzu sauce, eel sauce You will not regret ordering this-- it's a little spicy but not too crazy and full of flavors. read more

Absolutely amazing poke bowls! The fish was super fresh, the toppings were generous, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I also tried their Thai tea, and it was the perfect blend of sweet and creamy. Great portions, friendly service, and a clean atmosphere. Definitely my new go-to spot for poke! read more

Poke Pola hands down is the best poke place around. I have tried a handful of poke places in the…read morearea and nothing else comes close. First you get a good size portion for your bowl. You get three scopes of protein and the fish has always been good and fresh. There is a good amount of toppings to choose from, all included. (Unless you want extra scoops of crab meat and avocado). The sauces are all good, but I go with the Nirvana which has the perfect blend of flavor and spice. It is a bit pricy ($20), but it's worth it.

I went in and was greeted by a nice woman and glanced over the menu and saw it was pretty clear and direct. I ordered the regular size bowl with 3 proteins I did spicy tuna, Aji and yellowtail and then you can add as many toppings if you want, which was my favorite part of the whole experience! The sauces were also good. I think I opted for one of the basic ones and then I also ordered a bowl of miso soup. The whole transaction was pretty quick and everyone there was pleasant and nice and the price wasn't too high either. I got the food to go and ate it when I got home. The only thing I wasn't 100% into was the spicy tuna. It was like the spicy tuna you'd find in a spicy tuna roll and I was expecting ahi tuna with spicy mayo, so that was just a learning experience. The miso soup was ok, and overall I will definitely go back to this spot again. One request: I wish they had mango as a topping, but overall very enjoyable!

On our last visit, we were charged for an extra side without being told it would cost extra. When we politely asked about it, the waitress responded with a sarcastic attitude instead of trying to help.

The service has consistently felt unfriendly, and the air conditioning hasn't seemed to work during multiple visits, which is concerning for a sushi restaurant. Good food can only make up for so much.

The young kid that greeted us was a bit hyper but very nice overall and super respectful so we were off to a good start. I ordered the teriyaki beef burrito (add spicy option for an extra $3) and my dad got two different tacos (one chicken and the other beef). The food didn't take too long and we took it home. I ate the burrito on the way home since I was starving. I found it to be excellent honestly. The beef had little charred pieces that really made the flavor WOW me. The sauces they provide (especially the lighter colored one) go so well with the burrito. My parents found the tacos to be ok and didn't think it was worth it. They did try my burrito and liked it a lot. They said the beef in one of their tacos was too chewy. I think my dad wished he had gotten a bowl instead. Anyways, I'd for sure come back for the burrito!

The chicken teriyaki bowl is my favorite-perfectly cooked, flavorful, and a generous portion that easily satisfies. It's quickly become one of our go-to spots. It's more of a takeout-style place with minimal seating, which honestly makes it perfect for grabbing a meal and heading to the beach or enjoying it on the go. One small suggestion that I genuinely think could take things to the next level: offering more clearly labeled gluten-free options (or even expanding them). I know so many people who look for GF food and I truly believe it would help grow an already fantastic business. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit!

The pulled pork is the main attraction, followed by the brisket and tri tip. The cabbage slaw features a red cabbage or white cabbage version. It's presented drier, crunchier and was quite tasty. It is a refreshing departure from the watery soggy slaw found in so many other places. Decent street parking availability. Since we had the pulled pork (South Carolina style) on an earlier visit last month, we ordered the tri tip plate, the tri tip sandwich and the house burger respectively and we really enjoyed each item. The meat was juicy without being smothered by the sauce. The egg bread toast that came with the plate was just right -- slightly crunchy on the edges but soft in the middle and was seasoned with a garlic butter. Heavenly. Prices were reasonable and the portions were ample. The server was wonderful --- polite, helpful and efficient, mixed with a casual beach vibe but did not miss a beat. This adult beverages featured some wines that paired well with the menu items while the list of beers was sufficient and comfortably priced. A good neighborhood gem and recommended with no hesitation. We will be back.
