Actually the worst poke I've ever had. The medium was so small for $20+, I got spicy mayo and ponzu but they didn't put enough on and it was so tasteless. Their crab is regular imitation crab pieces instead of crab salad which contributed to the tastelessness. Had to pay extra for both the seaweed salad and the crab which other places don't charge for, and it wasn't even good. Overall just tiny yet expensive portions and did not taste good at all. read more

Portion size is SO small! Even the sauce is measured out. Not enough sauce to even cover the rice so it was extremely dry.

Only Poke bar out here that they have on the islands. Its definitely not foodland or Tamuras but still ono. If I dont make it at home this is where I go and get my fix. Aloha and Mahalo Poke Bar. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the interior of the restaurant, staff were all incredibly nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]What first catches your attention about the restaurant is the cleanliness and how neat everything was![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's ample seating, really a feel good place to eat at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fish was just ok compared to many poke places. The biggest issue I have is the portions. I have to say they truly were small and a lot of people in my party left hungry. Parking isn't usually an issue but it can get hectic for sure at busy times. The plaza in general is pretty new and there's a lot of new construction in the area. I wanted to love this place. The interior is beautiful and folks are awesome but truly there are many other better poke spots. read more

Poke Bar - Every bite of freshness! - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

Just a couple people in line but still took a little while. Got a medium bowl and the servings are as small as I have ever seen at a poke place. And the quality and taste was just ok. Now had to go find more food for lunch. read more

After an unfortunate experience recently, I feel like I should post another review to commend how fast the owner responded to feedback left here. They were very apologetic and promised to refresh staff training. They also told me they've refunded full amount for that bowl (have yet to check my account), and offered to make up for the unpleasant experience with a free bowl. That night was hectic for me and when my daughter showed me the metal piece she got from her bowl, I immediately turned to yelp. Later on, I saw the link in the receipt which I also utilized. I truly appreciate the immediate response and genuine effort to make this right. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Considering I have a sensitive stomach, I've never gotten sick eating here, the fish is really fresh and the interior is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everybody from the staff to the owner is really nice and the portions are generous. I seen some mixed reviews which confused me after trying it out a few times because everything has been excellent and I highly recommend these Poke Bowls!! I love the spicy house sauce that they make, sooo good but extra heat so be warned haha read more

Poke Bar - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was really nice and patient with our questions and gave us lots of time to decide. However, the portion size was really small for a large $20 bowl. Only one side and topping, and then it's additional $$ for everything else. Fish was standard, no huge rave or boo over other competitors. There are so many poke places out there nowadays that are of similar quality or better, it's hard to validate a second visit over other options. read more

I'm not sure what the point of reviews are if you never pay attention to them. READ the reviews. The quality of the food is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] PORTIONS are ridiculously small. You want sauce to actually penetrate the food and provide flavor? Sorry, not gonna happen. You'll get 3 squirts of whatever you want, but your rice will still be dry. You've been able to survive on tourism, but if you're trying to get your locals back for more, this won't cut it. You'll walk in hungry and leave hungry. read more

Super small portions for the price, compared to other poké places nearby. They are also closed at random times/days. It's Fish Friday during Lent and they are closed! So many cars were pulling away. You guys would have been so busy today!! read more

I love supporting small businesses business and push to eat locally. I understand seafood is expensive however the price did not equal to the portion that I received for each protein. Very disappointed read more

Last year we came here and loved our experience! The food was fabulous and the owner was very personable. However this year the portions were kind of ridiculous in how small they were. My family loves going to poke but won't be coming back. It was awkward service and the portions were tiny! Maybe next year we will try again ‍ read more

Service was horrible, the older lady who I assume is the owner or manager was so rude and had a bad vibe, if you look a certain tax bracket you should be fine though so don't worry!! Portions are small Poke was okay I wouldn't come back based off the service thought read more

Amazing food, I've had the chance to talk to the owner and she's really nice and sweet and so are the workers!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is really well put together and a amazing spot to stop at and grab some delicious and fresh food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Poke Bar - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

Recently discovered this place. On my third visit, I asked the worker what imitation crab was and she literally said "It's crab mixed with other seafood. You ask me that every time". I don't think I had asked that on either of my previous two visits but even if I had, I don't understand why you would say that to a customer. I just found this comment to be very rude. read more

Consistently good fresh ingredients. They don't drown the fish in sauce, you really get that buttery texture and flavor. I got the OG salmon, can't go wrong with it. Just perfect portions and balance of salmon, rice, crab, seaweed, edamame, cucumber and their house sauce + furikake season, no kidding OG classic. There was a beautifully arranged Hawaiian chips in a basket that called my name... the spice kick from it elevated the meal. Don't forget the chips! We came in during a crowd but it was very quick service. From line to seating we were sitting to enjoy our food over nostalgic Hawaiian reggae before we knew it. This place was super clean and there were ample tables to dine at. The staff was warm and welcoming, answered all my questions, even if very few since the menu was pretty straight forward, which I appreciated. Just come! Don't think about it. It's a guiltLESS pleasure. read more

Poke Bar - OG 3. Original Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed because my bowl was less than half of what it normally would be. Plus for the price of $20 didn't feel like I got my monies worth. read more

The good: Clean. Friendly staff. Basic poke. The bad: not a lot of variety for the poke or the sides. Left feeling...sad. And not satiated which was a little disappointing. A little steep in terms of price for what it was. Ended up being around $13 for a small bowl. To consider: if you want basic poke, this is the place for you. I think that this would be a decent//non overwhelming environment for newbs. If you have a love for good poke with lots of accouterments this may not be worth your time or monies. read more

Poke Bar - Storefront - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

Some go to In-N-Out when they get into the area. Our first stop is Poke Bar. I was excited to revisit recently after moving out of state and hoped to talk with the owner, which I got to do. She assembled our orders, offering advice on what paired best. I had salmon and tuna on rice. My husband had octopus and scallops, which aren't options near us. The crab or seaweed salad is a nice perk. The medium bowls were ample for our healthy appetites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean; the food is always very fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For those who prefer romaine lettuce, the mixed greens offered is a better option (per a friend who works in food safety). [[HIGHLIGHT]]They honor the history of Fort Ord with wall murals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Aloha Spirit (from the staff, food/drinks and Hawaiian music) is contagious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner gave us dessert after learning of my birthday dessert mishap elsewhere the day before. Can't wait to return. read more

Poke Bar - Salmon and tuna on rice with green tea at hightop table. - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

I was craving poke and to my surprise, there wasn't too many poke spots around. I finally found this one and the reviews were good so we decided to give it a try. It wasn't busy when we got there likely because it was mid day on a weekday. We both got regular size bowls and was really disappointed in the price given the limited variety in topping selections. I wasn't surprised that there was extra charge for additional items including seaweed salad and avocado, that's pretty common. The taste was just okay. Don't think I'd come back here because of limited topping selections and small portions. read more

Portion size here is way better then other poke places in area . I didn't get just a pinch of topping and a wonderful portion of seaweed salad that i was not able to get at other locations. Pricing is good and staff was courteous and friendly . I found my go to poke place read more

After multiple visits my husband and I are never returning. Customer service is bad. I believe the owner/manager older lady was extremely rude and seemed bothered by us going in. Serving sizes were small and dry. She threw the soy sauce at me and only gave me 1. Maybe because I did not tip her, but she did not earn it. Go to Monterey Del Monte Poke restaurant. read more

I have a picky child, this is the right place to take her. Plenty of options, brown and white rice, greens, etc. plenty of proteins and toppings. Very Nice and friendly staff. read more

STARS: 3.5 MENU AND FOOD: They offer poke bowls with a limited selection of fish, including salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, seared albacore, scallops and shrimp. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is professional and efficient. Their dining room decor is appropriate and appealing. They have indoor dining and a 2 tables outdoor. PARKING: Located in a shopping plaza, parking is usually not a challenge. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I usually get their medium poke bowl with both salmon and tuna fishes. Each bowl does come with either a side imitation crab or seaweed salad and crispy toppings. While their portions are on the smaller side, I think their fish and sauces pair well for a refreshing and light meal. read more

This place was quiet and seemingly clean. There weren't any customers around 4:30 pm and the girl working was in the middle of cleaning when I walked in. She was friendly. I ordered two large poke bowls with salmon, spicy tuna, scallops, and octopus and it comes with a scoop of either seaweed salad or crab. The protein scoops were on the small side but the rice scoops were standard. Overall, it was average as I suspected it would be. Only thing I hated was that the fried garlic/onion topping was stale/hard. read more

The owner of this place is a total jerk. She's constantly whispering things to her employees and has a resting you know what face! Portions are extremely small and when I asked to have a bit more seaweed salad as I didn't get the same as the person ordering in front of me, I was charged extra. Lady doesn't know how to run a business and is running it into the ground! good luck whatever your name is! Take some notes on customer service and how to treat people. because you DO NOT know how to run a business, and everyone can see and feel your crappy attitude from the moment they walk in. will not be returning. read more

Excellent place to eat fresh sea food. The food is fresh and perfect portions. The flavors of the bowels are tasty, you can actually taste each ingredient. I will be coming here again more frequently. As a military member I appreciate the memorial photos on the wall showing the military history of Monterey. read more

Also came here twice. Like other poke places in the area, I was not impressed. Portion sizes are too small compared to how expensive the bowls are. Sushi was also just ok. Will be better with bigger portions. Unsure if will come back, maybe if I'm in a hurry. read more

This place was great! Fish was fresh, place was clean, and service was amazing. Portions are the perfect size!! Will be coming back.

Poke Bar - Tuna X3 over rice w/seasoning, edamame masago cucumber green onion sesame seeds seaweed salad Ginger and wasabi. delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

The people who work here were very friendly and personable. I had been to other poke places similar to this. You pick which size you want. A small is 2 scoops, medium is 3 scoops. But the scoops are kind of small. Most of your meal is rice. So you pick white or brown rice, then your protein. Mix ins/toppings and sauce. They mix it all together and put it in your bowl. You have a choice of a scoop or seaweed or imitation crab also. I tried to spicy tuna, but it has a kick after a minute, so I didn't get that. I got the spicy Sriracha sauce, but they didn't put much on it. So my mea was pretty blah and not too flavorful. read more

Poke Bar - Seafood Near Me - Marina, California

I love trying new poke whenever I'm out traveling and this location peeked my interested with a 4 star rating. The bowl design is pretty cool, looks like a bento box style. I liked the protein selection. Was not a fan of the small selection for veggies and sauces. The portion was small compare to all of the other places I have been too. Workers were distracting each other and had they ended up messing up on our bowls. read more
