Hawaiian-style poke bowls near the beach! I've been here a few times and always end up very satisfied. Fresh bowls and burritos are available that allow you to pick all your favorite ingredients or they have a few specialty creations for those who can't decide or not sure what they'd like. I love a small bowl with sushi rice, edamame, seaweed & cucumber salads, with tuna and yellow tail. The fish is always exceptional and very clean. The ingredients are all fresh and you can taste it. There are lots of different sauces to choose from whether you like it sour, sweet, or spicy. I like to mix mine. And lastly they have tons of fun toppings that offer some great textures such as crispy garlic & onion, furikake, nori, cilantro, sprouts, and many more. The portions are extremely generous as we had a difficult time finishing our small bowls. There is indoor and outdoor seating but taking your bowls to the beach might just be the very best. Actually you should definitely do that and enjoy them with an ocean view. read more

Love that poke has unlimited toppings. The server was so kind. He gave huge scoop of everything so I didn't have to ask for more. There's also an outdoor patio for corn hole game so you can eat and play. read more

Great family run business all of their locations - I've recommended it to several friends and family - you can tell they treat their employees really well just by the atmosphere. Will be back and continue to refer read more

This is one of the only poke places I'll eat at nowadays after having poke in Hawaii. The fish here always tastes fresh, the portions are huge, and the flavors are always on point. Service can be a bit slow sometimes due to the small shop and long lines, but the workers are always super friendly and trying their best. You can always order online as well to avoid the long line. Prices are pricing for sure. You can expect to spent about $20 on a bowl, but you'll probably be stuffed by the end of it and I don't know about you, but I'd rather feel stuffed from eating a poke bowl, than stuffed and greasy after a large burger meal anyway! read more

Poke Chop - two bowls of food in a field - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

Food wise, this place is a 4.5/5 but the service was incredible. The people at the counter were very friendly, helpful, competent and did a nice job recommending some sauces for us when we gave our preferences. The shop is cute on the inside and had cornhole and a foosball table next to the outdoor seating! I ordered a make-your-own medium with half sushi rice and half mixed greens. I got the spicy crab ($1 extra), salmon, marinated tuna, and spicy tuna. My favorite was the salmon - melts in your mouth! The marinated tuna had great flavors also. The spicy tuna and spicy crab were decent. The portions here are massive. I left feeling very full. Sushi rice is good but I got the citrus ponzu sauce and that left me feeling like I missed a bit of the flavor once I got to the bottom of my bowl. Loved the wonton strips and the fried onion. Great portions, great food, great service and even though my bowl was about $20, for the quality and portion size, I'm satisfied:)) read more

Poke Chop - Poke bowl! - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

The poke bowl was pretty good! Fresh ingredients for a great build-your-own setup. Just a heads up: avocado and the imitation crab (krab) are $1 extra each. The staff is pretty quick and cordial, too. Nice place to eat outside in the summer. The only thing holding me back from a 5 star review would be the elevated price point compared to other local spots and the lack of greeting when I entered. Overall, it's a decent spot. read more

Hefty portions! Fish was cold and quality was good! Great selection of toppings too!

Food taste great definitely coming back. read more

3-26 Wow experience today! Sooo delish and fresh. Workers were so nice! Huge portions... so worth the price. Belly happy asf

Not sure if we came on a bad day but we thought the fish was not the best quality. However they are extremely generous with sides and there are a ton of options so I added a star for that. Portions are very big and the workers are nice. Restaurant is decent sized with some indoor and outdoor seating with a small play area for kids. read more

Man, I have to remind myself how delicious this place is when I'm out and hungry! Everything is so fresh. Here's my advice, don't overthink it when ordering. My first time I had way too much stuff in my bowl. It's easy to do. This is one is so much better. Simple with everything I know I like. Brown rice/salad base. Pickled cucumber, scoop of spicy krab, salmon and tuna in sweet sesame and spicy mayo. Add avocado, sprouts, wonton pieces and some green onions. Perfecto! Oh! And the staff is really great also! read more

Phenomenal food, great selection, the prices are a little hefty, but the quality makes it worth it

I can see why the 5 star rating on Yelp... this place is a hidden gem. The food is fresh, staff super friendly, and it is clean. It was my first time in so I ordered The Encinitas. Just the right amount of everything and a touch of spice. Def try it or one of the other prebuilt or build your own in a 5 step process. Great value for the money. Portions are hefty. read more

Wow! Our whole family was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the clear quality and care that went into each element of our poke bowls. All four of us were exclaiming as we tried the salad, the fish, and the sauces. All around, it felt like a great value for this much lunchtime joy. read more

This place is great! Good portions. Fair price. Wide selection--great poke! I highly recommend!

Always so good. Fresh poke and super friendly staff especially when you're indecisive

I've eaten here multiple times in the last 2 months, since I had been introduced to this spot by a coworker. I usually get either a small or medium Build Your Own bowl. It is quite filling (depending on what base/toppings you choose) and I've never finished my entire bowl in one sitting. They don't skimp out on the fish. It's now become one of my go-to lunch spots when I'm in the mood for a healthy yet good lunch. read more

Poke Chop - Medium Build Your Own - Poke Near Me - Encinitas, California

Easy no-frills, the patio seating area is great. Came here for a quick rub one night and it was a very easy nice experience. We each ordered our bowl through the counter with all the ingredients and everything was fresh. There are 2 sizes of bowls with different number of scoops of fish. Lots of options and the fish is very fresh. We really like the outdoor seating area. It's a good size patio with putting greens. Nice big wood benches to lean back and enjoy your food. Nice spot to grab lunch. Overall pleasant experience. read more

Had Poke Chop last night from Encinitas location. Food was horrible! Old bitter cucumber salad , edamame tasted cold , salmon and tofu was slimy. And to top it off they covered it in garlic flakes, which I never ordered and am allergic to it. I was too tired to go back and get a new bowl. This has happened several times, I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt. However this was the worst as it contained something I am allergic to. I would not recommend them to anyone. Go somewhere else. Counter service no real interaction. Ambiance, a bunch of smelly yoga customers. read more

My daughter recommend this restaurant I loved so much I had to return you make your box to go and great food test even better with the ocean view read more

I went back again recently and just as good. Normally I'm very skeptical of straight 5 star places. But this place deserves it. I don't normally note the service at places like this but the staff is always very patient and friendly. I brought someone along who didn't really experience poke yet and they didn't rush along or have an attitude like so many poke places do and I appreciate that. Also their servings are on the larger side and fresh. Great place read more

Our favorite poke place in Encinitas! On this latest visit, I shared the Encinitas bowl with my husband, two of my kids shared a sushi burrito, and my son had the hamachi collar plate. If you're not in the mood for poke, I definitely recommend the hamachi collar! It was deep fried to perfection...served with rice, seaweed salad and a fried vegetable egg roll. Employees are awesome as usual, and even brought my kids orders to our table, as we were sitting outside in their patio. read more

Very confusing experience. I walk in with my dog, and baby and am immediately told I can't have my dog in the inside area. Then I ask, how am I supposed to order?? The girl stares at me and just says ummm. I walked out. I totally understand service animals only for a sit down experience. But I literally have no way of ordering. I'm not going to put my dog in the car on a hot day. You just declined business! read more

I've tried a lot of poke places but this one is hands down my favorite. The customer service is always phenomenal and the staff give excellent recommendations. I will also say they are very patient and answer any questions you have when building the perfect poke bowl. This is my fourth time here and quite frankly it was my favorite bowl yet! I had a small size bowl with spicy tuna and marinated tuna over sushi rice. The rice was fresh and the fish had amazing flavor. Let's not fail to mention that they now have beer on tap as well. Love the overall vibe of this place. Highly recommended. read more

I was craving poke after a day of "work" during lunch right before my flight back to Seattle. I saw this shop nearby with good reviews and decided to give it a try (even though I knew it wouldn't be fresh). It's located across of FedEx and Bank of America in the corner of the building plaza on Encinitas Blvd in Encinitas. There's a huge parking lot with ample spaces. I was originally going to get the medium bowl with 3 choices of protein but then I saw how much food there was with 2 choices, so I ended up with a small bowl LOL. I chose my bowl with sushi rice and had a ton of toppings (cucumbers, edamame, daikon, onions, etc.; who am I HAHA) with Spicy Tuna and Marinated Tuna. The latter definitely did not sound good until I saw what it looked like in person. It looked very appetizing like spicy ahi cubes but without the same flavor. And it was delicious! I couldn't quite point out what the flavor was as there was a lot happening, but it tasted quite fresh and really good. No fishiness either. I added Jalapeño Wasabi and Spicy Mayo on top of my creation and couldn't wait to try it! I was kind of suspicious with the jalapeño wasabi as it sounded kind of weird but surprisingly, that and the spicy mayo together were a great combination! I do think that the sauces did cover up the frozen fish taste which wasn't necessarily a bad thing as the entire bowl overall was definitely to my liking. Really grateful that this location is close to where I'd be working during my stay in San Diego in the future. If I'm ever hungry and craving poke (feel like that's always), this spot definitely hits the spot! read more

My husband and I were wanting some poké, so we decided to try this place out as it was close to where we were. They have their specialty bowls or you can create your own bowl. It reminded me a lot like Poki Poki in Oceanside, but with a deeper/rounder bowl. My husband and I both ordered medium, which consists of 3 servings of fish. Crab meat and avo are extra. The total for two medium poké bowls was around $30. All the ingredients looked and tasted fresh, including the fish. They have a good variety of sauces too. The citrus ponzu was not too overpowering. They do not have indoor seating at this time, but they do have outdoor seating. It was a bit chilly to sit outdoors, so we ended up eating in the car. Friendly and fast service. The restaurant looked clean also. Overall, good poké. You get a sufficient amount for the price. Fresh taste and a good variety. read more

Wow... just as I walked in was greeted right away! The gentleman at the counter was super awesome and helpful, took time to go over the menu items with me since it was my first time there... I was even able to sample their different sauce options to make sure I had the right flavor choices. When I was finally able to indulge in my selection... every bite was amazing! The portions are huge... I opted for the medium and I can grub, but man I was hella full after. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent and not as busy as the places nearby. Don't overlook the salmon plate. Good portions and tasty fish.

Very good fresh fish and they even serve hamachi! A little pricey when you add the hamachi but delicious. Inside and outdoor seating. Unfortunately the weather forces us inside. Pleasant service. Thank you Poke Chop! read more

Paid by card. Poke Chop is located in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I went to Poke Chop around 3:00 PM on Sunday and there we only a couple people there so I didn't have to wait long. The worker was really nice and quick to serve. I got the medium bowl with sushi rice, salad, scallops, salmon, and spicy tuna with spicy mayo. Yum!! The portion sizes are large here and the toppings go well with the proteins. I would definitely recommend this place and would go back. read more

I was told today poke lovers in NC think this is the best poke shop! I stopped by and Brian walked me through the options...love that you can customize your bowl...super generous portions...sauce options and numerous add ons at no extra charge...just finished and I am so excited to have a new healthy lunch/ dinner option on my way home from the Y! Wohoo! read more

This is an outstanding place to get a poke bowl that offers great value, quality, and service. The fish they use for their poke has always been fresh and with the variety of add-ins, sauces, toppings, etc. that they have, you can customize your poke bowl in countless ways. Their staff is consistently fast and friendly. They have a decent amount of seating outside on the patio with a foosball table and cornhole. Finally, their portions are generous so you can satisfy your poke cravings with a big bowl (sm/med/lg) depending on how hungry you are. Love this place. read more

Their tag line should be "HOME OF THE FRESHEST AND BIGGEST POKE BOWLS". This is by far, the best poke in San Diego. I've been to the PB and Hillcrest locations and each locations serves the highest caliber of food. The quality of the fish is so fresh and I always get such a good workout from how heavy they packed their bowls. I ate here 3x the first week they opened. I literally have to refrain myself from going here all the time. I love that you can either build your own bowl with your favorite toppings. Or sometimes I just wanna try something new and get their pre-picked toppings bowls. The staff is always super nice and helpful. Never impatient when I'm trying to decide on my toppings. (I always think I wanna switch it up but then I go back to my usual lol). I've recently used their catering services and it's such a crowd pleaser!!! I had a small family gathering and they packed up everything so nicely. The fish was just as fresh as if they just packed a bowl for me. I really hope Covid is done soon. They have this super cute outdoor area that has room for our kids to run around and let me enjoy my Poke in peace. Super grateful for this new location so close to home! See ya soon Poke Chop. read more

This has become my go-to poke place close to home since moving to Cardiff/Encinitas last year. The staff are always very nice and quick to acknowledge me, even when they're busy, portions are good, and the fish is fresh. Lots of toppings and sauce options (which can be combined, if you like), and the ability to buy sake in a bottle to go just makes the meal more complete. I've never eaten there, but they have a nice little patio. Beer on tap is available, too. I pretty much come here monthly and know I'll get a consistently good meal. read more

I had to double check myself and verify that THIS IS THE SPOT. Been coming here for about a year now and not only is the food consistent, fresh and tasty...the service remains outstanding! I was able to enjoy a nice Pilsner on tap from Fall Brewing, it paired very well with the spicy bowl I ended up ordering for the day. Do yourself a favor and give it a try, they have multiple options available without being too overwhelming, if you have any questions the staff is super friendly about answering any of them. Thank you! read more
