Fabulous poke shop in Encinitas! Very easy parking. Perficient and friendly service. Great quality fish and portions. Be sure to check out their happy hour! Cool seating deck as well.

We were craving Poke, but we were away from the Poké Chop . We ordered through Uber Eats to make sure we received before they close the shop. Poke Chop serves Hawaiian poke bowls. You can build your own bowl or burrito. You choose the base which is either sushi rice, brown rice, salad, or burrito. Next, you choose preferred sides, then yout choices of protein. Finally sauces and toppings. They also have chicken katsu, gyoza, fried Calamari, and their specialties. We got five scoops poke bowls, fried Calamari, and macaroni salad. The poke bowl was very fresh, savory, and really delicious. They added generous quantity of base, protein and toppings. Their macaroni salad was creamy, rich and flavorful. Fried Calamari was crispy and well seasoned.We had a great dinner. My review is mainly for the food. Everything was well packe. Next time, I will stop by Poké Chop to get the whole experience.

Hamachi Kama Bowl, came with an egg roll and vegetable goyza

I have to update my rating, minus a star, actually should be two stars for the subpar sushi rice, which was chewy and not cooked correct correctly on the Poké bowl. The Hamachi collar was overly fried and dry; texture was too dry. Fish is always fresh here we like the salmon and the Hamachi. We like the sides. I wish they would add some Japanese pickles like dikon or pickled ginger or any of the pickled vegetables that would be a plus. Service is always great and friendly but tonight, Hamachi collar was just overcooked over fried and too and dry rice was undercooked or just dry and chewy.

Pole bowl. So good.

I thought I had tried every poke place within 20 miles but I obviously missed this fantastic spot. Personally, I prefer buying poke straight from a fish market, without any rice or veggies or whatever. But if it must be in a bowl, so be it. This may be the best poke bowl place in North County. The poke itself is extremely fresh and delicious. The veggies are also crazy fresh. I am not sure I have ever had better or fresher edamame or cucumbers. The sushi rice is also real sticky sushi rice, not just white rice. The attention to detail here is outstanding. Like others have said, the marinated tuna is particularly good. The salmon is also very nice. You can build your own bowl or select from one of their own creations. The so-called "small" bowl gets you two proteins and the portions of the toppings you add are very generous. My small bowl easily weighed three pounds. They also offer a handful of Hawaiian plate lunch-style dishes, like chicken katsu. We tried the chicken teriyaki plate with macaroni salad and it was very nice and comes with an egg roll and gyoza. Again, the portions are generous. The interior shop is small but very clean. They also have an outside patio with cornhole, believe it or not. OUTSTANDING poke bowls.

Wanted poke to eat in the car on the drive home and found this place on Yelp. All sizes offered are done by using the same size bowl but different number of protein scoops. I thought that was kind of weird because the proportions would be off with five scoops of protein and same amount of rest of food in bowl. Regardless, I got everything except for jalapeños and salmon only as the protein. Got the citrus ponzu as the dressing and I don't recommend this alone as it was very sour and not balanced. Next time I'll mix two different sauces to give depth and a bit more flavor. Prices for bowls were $15.50 2 protein scoops, $17.50 3 scoops, $20.50 5 scoops. You can either get a bowl or burrito. Base would be brown rice, sushi rice or salad. The place was not packed, I was the only customer so it was very quick. Restrooms available.

Literally the best poke I've had aside from Hawaii! Came to SD on a 3 day vacation and came here twice. Huge portions too!

Wow I am glad I found this poke place. The portions are HUGE, the fish tastes fresh and the service is excellent. I will definitely come back!

Happy hour

We got the medium bowl and it was enough food for me and my 9 yr old. The marinated tuna and salmon was fresh and yummy as well as the sides. The service was excellent and they had good suggestions. We liked that it had a nice patio area with cornhole.

Very nice people, decent speed, and the katsu was pretty good, all despite me going in fairly late.

My favorite stop on my recent trip to the San Diego area…read more Encinitas Fish Shop was recommended by one of my local SD work colleagues. I grabbed an Uber after work on a Thursday and headed north 11 miles. As I arrived at the Fish Shop, I could smell the goodness inside and saw the line waiting to order. The restaurant is on one side, with an open bar on the other. Ordering is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Pick your fish, pick how you want to consume it (plate, sandwich, salad), and pick your sides and drink. I went with my work colleagues recommendation of a blackened sea bass sandwich with onion rings and a Marg. That choice was FANTASTIC!!! You seat yourself once you order and place the buzzer given to you by the counter person on the unit on your table. Although busy, there were still tables available (bar and restaurant, plus out front). As the NBA playoffs were on, I sat inside. Everyone working here was friendly and as I already stated... my meal was the best I had on this San Diego visit. A bonus was a gorgeous sunset just 3 blocks down from the shop. I will be back to Encinitas Fish Shop when I next visit San Diego.

Honestly this was one of the BEST meals I've had in such a long time, I had to come and tell…read moreeveryone about it. If you're considering visiting this gem, just do it! I was kind of bummed that I was the only person dining for lunch, they honestly deserve a crowd. The food and service was 10/10. The setup is really cute on the inside as well and I was able to sit comfortably at a table with my daughter's stroller right next to me. Upon entering, I was greeted right away. I already knew that I wanted to order the Khao Soi because I had looked up their menu and pictures way before coming in and it looked like their specialty. I ordered an iced jasmine green tea as well and chose a table to sit at. The woman who took my order was really nice and helpful with ordering. My food didn't take long to come out, and it was DELICIOUS. This was my first time trying this dish so I didn't know what to expect but it was everything and more. It was topped with what I think was fried onion and chili crisp as well for some added spice. The tea was also so delicious, the crushed ice they use is my favorite. The tea was garnished with an orange slice and my toddler decided to much on it. The woman who took my order noticed my daughter eating the orange slice and she brought me out a couple more on the side. You really don't experience that level of customer service anymore, so it was such a sweet gesture. They have a lot of other things on their menu that I would love to come back and try. I also used the restroom before leaving and it was super clean. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever and I hope this business continues to thrive!

Cherry Blossom owners are very hard working people. They are both the cook and the hostess! Wow!!…read moreFriday nights are quiet. Ambiance is clean and decor is bright and pleasant. Food was nice and portions are on the smaller size. Signature iconic Tea Leaf Salad, WANGS, and Veggie roll (fried).
