Regular Bowl & Miso Soup
Evan L.

Stopped by for a lunch. Service was great. She was very attentive once I walked in and throughout my ordering process. They do give nice sized portions and the fish was tasty. I appreciate the complementary miso soup that you can get if you order a bowl or burrito. Interior wasn't huge but was enjoyable to eat in.

I am a poke lover but my bowl here was disappointing. The rice was cold and hard. The salad tasted unwashed. The topping options do not appear that fresh and you can especially taste it. I couldn't finish my bowl, specifically my tuna because it felt suspicious in my mouth. The crab meat is very dry, chunky, doesn't separate that easy. They limit the amount of toppings you get depending on the size you order. The bowls are very pricey for said limitations. The bowl was overall very dry and lacking flavor. I got ponzu sauce but it tasted like there was nothing on it. One good thing I'll say is they serve very generous portions with the specific toppings or proteins you can order depending on the size bowl you get. Ordered a strawberry watermelon drink, it was not good. Tasted very artificial with a lot of cut up strawberries in it that didn't fix the artificial taste, I couldn't finish it. The best way I can describe the drink is like a boba fruit tea that had been sitting out all day in the sun with too much syrup. Another benefit is the parking isn't bad here and there's 2 designated spots for parking for customers here.

My husband and I were craving poke while we were in the North Orange County area and found our way over to Poke Ave. There was a lot of selection in terms of items required to build one's bowl, pricing was fair for the generous portions, and service was friendly. As first time diners, the establishment left a great first impression. Poke Ave is located off of Imperial Highway in Brea and can be found in a small shopping strip. There is free parking for customers shared among the other businesses. My husband and I both ordered poke bowls; a regular size and large size, respectively. The proteins were fresh and of good quality. The lady assembling the bowl was extremely generous with all of the fixings. We had a delicious lunch that definitely filled us up. Their Garlic Lemon Creamy sauce paired nicely with my salad-based bowl. We are adding Poke Ave to our list of places to stop if we're craving poke in the area. Looking forward to returning soon.

Found this place while on an appointment. Service and food were great! Not a regular poke guy, the staff was helpful with recommendations. Everything was fresh.

We love this Poke spot! Literally, the best and the owner Katie really cares about her customers! The sauces are amazing we did sesame oil, ponzu and Loco 1 (mild) with spicy mayo on top!

We stopped in on our way home out of town and were very happy with the choice. Very yummy and fresh! Great portions and customer service

It was my first time here. Service is not great if you're new. Rude. Service 1/5 Food 3.5/5 Food was good but I love poke spots that let me order unlimited toppings Story: It was a lady at the front, I assume the owner reading the other comments. Wasn't really greeted welcome. I was looking at the menu above on the wall, I asked if I can see the size of the bowls & she said it's all the same. I said what do you mean, she said just less scoop.. all other poke shops I've been too had different bowl sizes so this took me by surprise. She said small is this much scoop and I said okay, how much is it (cause it wasn't on the wall menu) she pointed at the glass window in front of me & said it's right there. I thought that was rude like how am I supposed to read and scan everything, I've been reading the board. She seemed to just want me out. She said sides, I picked all of them like I normally do & she said you only get x amount and I'm like wow okay.. I paid, got my water cup & sat down. It was just bizarre customer service. Then when I assume regulars who came in cause they knew how to order, she had a smile on, she said welcome & thank you! She said if you just come here it's cheaper than ordering online I'll make it fast. It was like she was a different person lol I hope she treats others who don't know how to order there with more respect. There's another poke spot near by so next time I will be going there instead.

Regular Poke Bowl

Most delicious poke spot, I've been coming here for years and I always forget to add a review because I devour the bowl too quickly and realize when I'm almost done hahaha. They also offer free miso soup with a regular or large bowl and the owners are lovely people! Definitely recommend this spot.

Was in the neighborhood picking up some food for the family and as usual everyone wants something different. Last stop before I brought lunch back home was this new restaurant that serves my daughter's favorite...POKE . There was designated parking just for the restaurant,which was cool . The restaurant was very clean and all the food not only looked fresh but was delicious! The staff was super helpful and friendly especially since it was my first time there. The service was great and fast and the price was fair. I definitely will be coming back!

It was good, just not great. Fish was fresh, not a bunch of choices. Soup was not very good, it was kind-of bland.

Looking for something to have for dinner with my girlfriend and pirates kitchen had good yelp…read morereviews. We walked in and were seated immediately. Ordered drinks, and perused the menu. We settled on an order of garlic noodles with garlic bread for a starter and the seafood boil for 2 as a main. We substituted scallops for the craw fish as neither of us are big craw fish fans. There was an upcharge which we were fine with. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. Since we ordered the everything seasoning it was well spiced and flavorful. We ate as much as we could and got a to go bag for the rest. It was more than my girlfriend could eat as leftovers the following day. Price was reasonable and the food was good quality and generous servings. We will return. Nice mom and pop restaurant feel, eat local.

Ordered 1lbs of shrimp head on mild was ok…read more1lbs of clam mixed seasoning 1lbs of shrimp peeled Cajun fries Chicken tender Garlic noodle, tastes good but small portion. My personal favor is cajun style head on shrimp. Fresh, not too salty, little bit different taste compare to boiling crab, but I liked it. Different but delicious~ Added potatoes, corn, and sausages. They gave us large potatoes, and liked it!!! Fried side order was great. Very crispy and good price. The chicken tender meat was fresh. Must order one steamed rice and mixed with sauce for the last steps. Yum~~ Nice service!!! Very clean restaurant!!! Definitely coming back!!!

I remember how I used to come right after work before covid hit and even celebrated a few birthdays here - those were fun times! The food was good! I don't come as often anymore after I started working remotely. Glad I was able to bring my daughter here. We were quickly seated right upon check in, which was awesome because when I came here a few months ago, I had to wait over 30 minutes on a week night. The hostess who checked me in was very friendly and welcoming. Our server was friendly and checked in on our table often. However, both my daughter and I were out of iced tea but she didn't offer to assist us with getting refills. Instead, she just asked me if I needed a box, so I was thinking most likely, she was in a hurry for us to leave - I honestly think we were there for about an hour. But, I wasn't too bothered by this. I just quickly paid the bill and went next door for dessert. My daughter and I ordered the following: Carpaccio - I love Carpaccio, but unfortunately what was served to me tonight was a HUGE disappointment. The beef came stuck together and the color was a weird shade of brown. It also smelled funny. I've ordered this dish multiple times before (I've even posted a picture of this from a previous visit) so I know it shouldn't look and smell this way. Rigatoni Alfredo 2.0 - (added Chicken) - This was very good. My daughter liked this a lot. She finished everything. Pappardelle Bruno - The braised short ribs were very tender. However, the pasta tasted pretty bland. Overall, my visit today was a 6/10.

This place is five star. I would love to have my birthday here they have about 30 TVs. Great sushi…read morerolls and amazing staff. If your by the holla @LUIS he will take care of you great recommendations...

***NEW OWNERS *** **Menu pics on Yelp are from old…read moreownership** Definitely on the death-watch list. It can't survive I have not been here since the week that Taps went under. We decided to give it a shot because the menus and pics I was seeing on Yelp looked good. I feel deceived y'all!!! This spot was hyped up as another "Tempo" and I was hoping for a less loud, club-like vibe with good food and drinks. Apparently, they changed owners AGAIN just a few months ago. All of the legit Mexican items- gone! I was really bummed because Orange County really doesn't need yet another mediocre attempt at a vibey sushi spot that serves WARM FISH. * The bartender was great! I honestly felt horrible for the staff. They open at 3:00, and I came in at 4:00 to a literal graveyard. I really hope the guys who waited on us get out fast before this place goes down. I know their tips are probably not even $20/a day. * The sushi items were all warm. I got nauseous within the hour after consuming them. * By 5:00 only one other table had arrived and they were also shocked at the massive disappointment so they spent their time waiting for cocktails, on their phones trying to make arrangements to go to another restaurant. So within two hours, they had two tables. * Yelp is deceiving- their reviews are mostly for the old place. Their menu is a disaster right now. There's limited sushi, brisket sandwich, wings, and other weird hodgepodge selections of oddities. The interior is almost exactly the same as Taps. They kept all of the furniture and decor. Maybe this should be a tear down and star over. It's really sad because we could use an old school Mexican restaurant with mariachi's and Sunday champagne buffet brunch. Just look at how El Torito Grill in Brea kills it on Sundays. Taps used to kill it on Sundays too. Where are the smart investors?! Come save this spot!
