I've been to this place a couple of times and been happy with the poke bowls they prepared for me. The most recent visit was for a 3 scoop of fish bowl on brown rice. What I like most is the ability to customize the bowl with sauces and toppings. And if that's too daunting or confusing then you can ask the staff or stick to a "recipe" the store has. It was odd to see that they had sesame oil as a new addition - for me that is the basis of a great poke bowl. I added soy beans and seaweed and masayo. Avocado would've been nice, but didn't fancy paying extra. Parking out front is a bit hit and miss as it is all metered parking and there isn't always a space. Also, the min time is 1 hour on the meter which is a bit overkill just to get a poke bowl. The smell inside is a little fishy, but the food is great. No issues. read more

Poké Cafe - 3 scoop bowl. $12. Lots of topping and sauces to choose from - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

I am obsessed with this spot!! I want to first off mention that I do not live in Glendale. I live in Toluca lake and have MANY poke spots close by. I have at least 5 options within 1-3 miles from my home but I am WILLING to drive the 10 mins (15-18 mins if there's traffic) to come pick up poke here. That is HOW GOOD it is!! I've been coming here for over a year now and randomly found it when I was shopping in the area. I am so glad I did because their poke is the best I've had! I grab poke whenever I can cause I'm obsessed with it. They have two sizes regular and large and most places the regular is ok not super filling but good. NOT here.. They hook it up! Like seriously! Their fish is fresh, their sauce is good, the options are amazing. Their rice to fish/toppings ratio is perfect too! Most poke spots either give too much rice or not enough. Also other poke spots has you pick between seaweed salad or crab while this place gives it to you as another topping option. What I'm saying is that you aren't limited. I went in yesterday and they are adhering to the COVID guidelines and love the process they have created. To get an order going you will fill out these order slips and notate what you want from bowl size, type of fish, toppings, sauce, etc. Then hand it to them and they will create the bowl. They do have a sign that sometimes it could take up to 15 mins to create one and I'm assuming when it gets hectic, which seems validated! Luckily there was only a couple ahead of me so my bowl got made quickly! They have all the clear plastic to avoid contact also they ask after you give them your order slip to stand back as they will call you. All in all, I love this spot and I am going to make more of an effort to drive out here just to buy their poke. It NEVER disappoints and I always feel great after. Trust meeee!! Go get yours now! Support local and small businesses esp during this time! read more

Poké Cafe - Regular Half and Half Bowl - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

Nice little shop on Brand Blvd in the center of downtown Glendale. The food quality was on point and the bowl as a whole tasted amazing. I do wish it was slightly bigger considering it is a large, but that definitely wasn't a deterrent at all. I'd still highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great quality poke, nice ambiance and quick service. Will definitely be back. read more

FOOD: Standard ahi poke place. I got the Half Half Regular with soba and salad. It comes with 3 protein to which I got Salmon, Albacore, and Tofu (avocado and egg are extra). Something I normally don't see at other places are the shredded beets. Not bad. SERVICE: The staff helping me was really careful putting all the ingredients in the bowl which made service slow.. But whenever another ingredient accidentally touched another container, she would throw it away instead of placing it back so I guess that was good? If I'm craving ahi poke in Glendale, I would come back but wouldnt travel all the way here for it. read more

Poké Cafe - Regular Half and Half (Soba and Salad) w/ 3 Proteins - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

A decent bowl and quality fish, but the toppings completely overpower everything else and the amount of fish is not much. Needs to be more balanced, I didn't need the giant scoop of wasabi or the giant scoop of ginger, these should be garnish. read more

Poké Cafe - Medium poke bowl with three scoops of fish - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

Yum yum yummm! I've been coming here for poke for years now. I've tried different places in the Glendale area but they don't compare to the freshness and flavors at Poké Cafe. I also love that they've got more options for toppings and sauces than other spots that limit you on what you can get and mix. The spicy tuna is my favorite but trust that the word "spicy" is not taken lightly! It's got a great kick... can't wait to come back for another bowl! Ps) the avocado is always perfect! read more

Poké Cafe - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

This is going to be my 3rd review and tbh I am still as obsessed as the first day I tried it. My boyfriend and I are regulars here and we can't get enough. The quality is just amazing and the sauces are unmatched. Please give it a try if you are in the area. I live in noho but make the drive to Glendale monthly or weekly 100/10. read more

The place was fairly empty when I went in, but I believe they get a lot of to go orders. The poke was EXCELLENT! So fresh and delicious...hmmmm...thinking of going back there tonight now. read more

One of the best Poke bowls in Glendale, all their protein is mixed with your desired sauce, none of that premixed stuff. Do yourself a favor and go give it a try. read more

While the poke bowl is good, the young lady serving is a non person! No greeting, mo eye contact, not one word out of her mouth! Should hire a person with some manner and personality. read more

The freshness of the fish was impeccable, and while the side options were basic, they were bursting with flavor! The rice and soba were both delightfully fresh. The owner, who prepares the poke, is incredibly friendly. Although I initially found the prices a bit high, the quality of the poke makes it worth trying at least once. I'll certainly be returning whenever I have a craving for poke. I enjoyed a quiet and clean lunch at the restaurant. read more

Poké Café is definitely the place you want to get your poké fix from if you're in Glendale. I've worked and lived in the area long enough to know where I'll never return again and where they have decent poké, and this cafe has never failed me. The fish is consistently fresh and of decent quality. The vegetables and toppings are also fresh. I meber have to go through the trouble of picking out pieces of shell from my fish and being completely disgusted like other places. It's really not bad. My last bowl had the following: brown rice, salmon, spicy tuna, seaweed salad, radish/beet mix, fresh jalapeños, cucumber slices and Sriracha mayo. Yum! I'd give it a solid 4/5. The place is very casual and the perfect place to stop by for a quick lunch. The area is also presentable as it's surrounded by lots of other shops for you to grab a drink or dessert a walk away from the store. PARKING Metered spots on Brand Blvd. or 90-minute free parking in the covered structure on Artsakh. read more

Poké Cafe - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

We discovered this place recently and the first three times we went for lunch were great, but the last three times we went for dinner the service was mediocre and unfriendly. The rice was hard as marbles and crunchy. During the dinner times, we asked for sushi rice and instead got plain, hard and crunchy white rice. For almost $100 worth of poke each trip, this is unacceptable. We didn't even finish the bowls at our last visit. We ate about a third before giving up on eating them. I don't we're going back. read more

Came here after a long day in the sun. Excellent food, kind service and radio songs I can tap my toe to. Wonderful store and would recommend to anyone looking for fresh fish and great sauces. read more

Update: ordering online or in person are fine now. Super nice people, consistently good poke and wash to order online and pick it up. Still my favorite Poke place! read more

Freezing cold night, after a movie my boyfriend and I were craving poke. We stopped by here, it was pretty dead. But customers came in afterwards. (I swear I feel like we have this super power that we bring customer's in. Every single time), haha. But we both really enjoyed our visit. We got a regular size for $9.99. 3 choices of protein but you can either pick crab or guac!! So we got the quac and OMGOSH, they hook you up!! We also got a miso for $1.50. Taste a little bit different but was good. They were almost closing since we came at 8:30 and they close at 9pm. But I just want to point out, their employees are so adorable! The Hispanic manager was nice but the other two kids were so sweet. White kid and hispanic. You can tell they are young but it's been a while since I've been around kids and it made me really happy. They look so genuine and positive. I felt so bad I couldn't even a bigger tip. Hopefully when I'm rich and they're still here. Hehehe. Now that we know this location is here, everytime we're near the movies or the galleria mall we can stop by! Thank you for making our visit great! read more

Poké Cafe - Alot of toppings. Yummy - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

Great poke bowls here! It's located on busy Brand Blvd, down the street from the Americana. There's street parking out front, but you have to pay. Or just park in the structure on the street right behind it and the first 90 mins are free. I like how they have soba noodles as one of the base options. I usually get half soba noodles and half salad. It's light and refreshing. The fish here is fresh. Don't know if it's just me, but the spicy tuna is pretty spicy! They're generous with their portions. A small bowl (3 scoops) is filling and they have a variety of sauces. read more

First time when I came here few months ago I loved this place. This time was totally opposite. I asked what includes in sushi burrito she said everything. So I created my burrito and end up paying $15 when price is $12.95 I was hungry and I didnt wan to argue but she had to tell me that not everything included. I didnt took any drinks or something else. Miso soup was horrible! It tasted like water with tofu not like broth. One of my favorite soup and was totally didaster. Miso looked like onion soup.... I throw burrito in trash and I barely could eat half. it was not yummy sauce was horrible and I dont know but ingredients somehow didn`t work out together. I recommend you guys make some standard otherwise people come and ad everything they like but in the end taste awful.... read more

I have tried a variety of poke places and honestly nothing comes close to poke cafe. I will make the drive to Glendale because they're worth it. They are always so quick and have never let me down. Love this place. read more

I normally don't leave reviews because sometimes things just happen. But today I came because it's my go to spot for poke. Service was fast and staff is super friendly, unfortunately as I was eating the last bites of my poke there was a bug on my cucumber now I can't stop thinking if I swallowed more bugs read more

My first poke experience! I came in not expecting to be full, because I had seen the size of poke bowls my friends had eaten in the past. I got a large bowl with salmon (2 scoops), tuna, and albacore. I got half and half soba and rice. I like their selection of toppings! I got lots of edamame. I ended up being really full from all of the food. It was actually a lot of fish. It tasted great with the spicy sauce. The fish was fresh. My raw fish craving is finally satisfied hehehe. They also have a dessert acai bowl, which is pretty good. It is not too sweet, and it comes with a free topping; I chose mango. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant was casual and clean. The place was pretty empty when I first arrived, but more people started filling in after 7. read more

Poké Cafe - Large poke bowl with double salmon, tuna, and albacore - Poke Near Me - Glendale, California

Ordered a regular bowl. Isn't it supposed to be at lease one scoop for each protein I chose? There was almost nothing in the bowl but green salad. I actually counted the quantity. 4 pieces of very thin shrimp, 4 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of octopus in the bowl. Plus, I wanted to try the spicy sauce but it was all salty sauce and the color of the sauce was 'soy sauce color' I think they put the salty sauce in my bowl. I guess the store now tries to save some cost on the items they sell. I actually own a couple of restaurants and the way how they do is wrong. Hopefully, you guys upgrade or change the way you serve your customers with good quality/service. This will be my first and last time visiting there. What a wast of money. read more

Very delicious! I got the soba noodles with salmon and now I'm addicted. Will be coming back before my cravings drive me crazy.

This is one of my go-to Poke spots in Glendale. The fish is always fresh, but what I appreciate most about this restaurant is how CLEAN it is. I always feel fresh when I walk in. Being able to submit my order with their menu sheet is an added plus. My order is always correct and the girls are very quick to build my bowl. read more

I've tried many different poke spots in Glendale and the valley areas and I must, Poke Cafe is the freshest and best tasting compared to all I've tried so far. Plenty of fish options to pick from, all super fresh. The toppings and sauce options are so many that you may be confused for a second or two. Staff is very nice and helpful and will even make good suggestions if you're not sure which way to go about building your own bowl. I'll be back for sure. read more

I hate to use the word surprised, but I was. I couldn't finish the bowl, because it was a great portion! Love it when I can have seconds when I get home. the fish tasted fresh, it was flavorful, and honestly I wish I tried the noodles. that's their plus, not many places have that, they're cool for that. I'm someone who wants to try a new place frequently, but I'd definitely go there again. read more

This is a healthy and affordable option if you don't want to eat at the food court in Glendale Galleria or want to spend excessive money at the Americana. The seafood are quite fresh here and they're not greedy with the portion size. I got a regular bowl but I was stuffed! I opt for their Tuna, Salmon, and Albacore with cucumber, seaweed, and edamame with their spicy sauce over rice - the server also recommended adding their Sriracha Mayo and Sweet Shoyu for more flavors (which was a great idea!). My only complaint is that the rice was too sticky, which made it hard to mix the whole dish together. I will definitely come again! read more

To start things off, I have been coming to Poké Cafe for 5+ years and the taste has only gotten better and better. The service is amazing, the owners are always extremely kind and the ambiance of the store is always clean. I am a very very picky eater and cannot stand the smell of fish, but at Poké Cafe, the fish has always smelled and tasted fresh! There has seriously never been a time where I don't enjoy my bowl. I've influenced my family members to choose this place because there truly isn't anyplace better! If you are looking for a fresh and delicious Poké spot, then here is the right place to go! I wish this business nothing but luck and a positive future! read more

It was my first time here today. Went in to grab something for dinner. I got their regular size which gives you 3 proteins. It was kinda loud and almost importable to understand the girl who was helping me. I got spicy tuna, salmon and shrimp for my proteins and I asked for medium house dressing and at the time of check out I realized they have other options too so I asked for spicy mayo. It was by far the worst poke I have ever had. They get 2 stars for being clean and the girl trying to help. My salad tasted nothing like I'm used to. It is a 3 minute drive to where I live and by the time I got home the food tasted so soggy and lacked any flavor. I could distinctly taste every single ingredient and I am not happy at all with their quality. The salad was so dry that was making it hard to almost swallow. read more

I ordered a large poke bowl with salad and soba noodle with the Yuzu and citrus sauce. I did not taste any citrus or Yuzu but tons of sesame oil and sesame seeds. Do to some health restrictions I try stay away from sesame oil. I thought I would send an email to the company about the error that was made on my order. Its sad when you receive the response with no apology from them at all regarding the sesame oil/seeds. What would have happen if I was allergic and had to be rushed to the emergency. In all my poke was not very pleasant to eat. Ordering half salad half soba was a waste. There was very little salad. Guess this would my last time I would go to Poke Cafe. It was a waste of time and money. read more

3.5 stars! Another poke shop in the neighborhood, but this time it's in Glendale. It seems like it's in every corner now a days. Anyways let's get to the point. Poke Cafe is good. The 3.5 stars is because of their yellowtail. It was fishy tasting. Due to the fact that they didn't trim out the blood line of the fish.( The Dark Upper Part of the fish). It would have been fine if it was just a little, but there were pretty big chunks. Other than that all the fish were all fresh and will cut. As for everything else its the same concept as all poke joints. There is just one thing different at Poke Cafe. You can add everything from your toppings step 3 and from keep on toppings at step 5. POKE BOWLS: Regular 3 scoops Large 4 scoops. SERVICE : The service was excellent and friendly. Very helpful. Overall this place is good. I'll just won't get the yellowtail if the bloodline is still not remove. read more

Really fresh seafood. Tight swatting with tables of 2 only. But really good poke salad.

I'm on the fence with this place. I went there the first week it opened. The employees are super nice and the they moved the line really fast. I didn't like my poke so I probably ordered the wrong way. I got salmon, tuna and yellowtail over salad. I asked them to make it spicy and they basically drowned my bowl with soy sauce where it was not edible. If I go again, I will make sure to just get the fish, masago, avocado, seaweed salad and get the sauce on the side or maybe no sauce. read more

Anyone cares for a sushi bowl? I do. As long as the line goes fast. Hawaiian poke bowl are trending and hot nowadays but this particular place is hotter. What's good is the soba noodles as one of your base. So yeah,I liked it! Ladies are always nice. Location is a busy area in Glendale,parking at Maryland structure and venture out! And yes,I always get a large bowl and I can finish it in a heartbeat. read more

Parking: park in structure on orange grove and California. Free 90 minute parking. Food and service: this place is new been around for less than 2 months I believe? The owner is a woman who's actually from Hawaii and has had poké all her life. She opened this place and delicately tailored the flavors toward a more user friendly restaurant. I came here a while ago and orders a 3 scoop rice bowl. The service was great and the poké was good. I should have asked for more of their different sauces to try out like the mayo. I was a little too shy to do so. I like this place, I'll probably come back! read more

$9.95 REGULAR POKE BOWL Ordered two regular bowls with different bases. One bowl was with salad and the other one with half & half soba noodles and brown rice. You can choose three different kinds of fish. For the Salad base, we opted for tuna, spicy tuna and salmon. The other one had spicy tuna, salmon and albacore on it. All toppings were added with no extra cost which also include avocado. In some other places, avocado usually cost extra but not here. Poke bowl was very tasty and all ingredients including fish are fresh. It was reasonably priced and portion is good enough to fill us up. Don't get intimated by the long line because it goes fast. Thanks to the friendly and efficient employees. The place is tiny with tables for two people only so it's kind of difficult for groups. You may have to join together tables but with the narrow space, it'll be a challenge to do so. read more

I am so glad I gave this place a chance. I loved it! The fish was fresh the sauces were amazing all made in house and it's the only place I've been to where soba noodles are an option for your base. The place is small but there's enough tables and they make you feel so welcomed. The service is EXCEPTIONAL! I will be coming back over and over again. read more
